Sapphire's Story
Chapter 1 - I don't remember anything.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA light breeze was trailing through the air as I awoke in my small crater, I didn't know how I got to this place nor could I really care at the time.
I was in too much pain to care about anything at all, so I just watched the sky, the clouds floating freely without a care.
As I watched the clouds going about their own buisiness, I was reminded of the hole in my heart. A sense of longing, but not knowing what I longed for.
I was lying in a small crater, made by my impact. Even now I still ponder how I survived.
It was a sound of trotting that made me jump.
As I sat up, I noticed this blue pony, he seemed rather carefree, much like the clouds themselves. He was an Alicorn, like me. That's what everyone calls it anyways. Apparantly, it's rare to have a horn and wings at the same time.
"Hello there, are you ok?" He greeted me with a rather smooth (And slightly alluring) voice. I opened my mouth to speak, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make a sound.
So I resorted to just staring at the ground, a slight depression swelling inside me.
"Can't talk? Not a problem. Here, try these." He handed me a quill and paper.
It's strange, I can comprehend words, recognise every day things, and write fluently, but why can't I remember anything?
I pushed this thought aside for the time being as I wrote my reply.
"Hello." I wrote in big childish letters. Back then, I wasn't as good at writing.
"I'm Lightning Spark, but you can call me Sparky." He smiled as he told me his name.
His name, was really interesting; It sounded exciting, adventurous and maybe perhaps warm.
When he asked for my name, I felt a strange shiver pass through my body. Words echoed through my mind, shouting 'Sapphire Eclipse'.
This seemed like a name to me, so I wrote it down for him to read.
"Sapphire Eclipse, huh? I think I'll call you Sapphy." His smile sent this warm feeling through me, that completely emptied my heart of all it's problems.
"So, what are you doing in Everfree Forest anyways? More importantly, what were you doing in a crater?" He questioned. Now, as I said, I don't know this land, so I simply wrote;
"I don't know where I am."
Sparky seemed surprised by this, as if it's the strangest thing he's ever heard.
"Well, how would you like to live with me in my castle?" He asked warmly.
Well, I had nowhere else to go, and I'd die for sure out here on my own, so I politely accepted his offer.
He motioned for me to fly with him, but I don't know how to fly. After pointing this out using my quill and paper, he lifted me onto his back and started flying.
Everything was becoming a blur and the breeze on my face was slightly unbearable.
Was he mad? What if I fell? I held on tightly, but it seems I was worrying too much, as we were already at his castle.
Quite a polite pony, he is, holding the door open for me.
