The Beginning

You trot from your castle into the Evergreen Forest to see Zecora. You heard that she has a special potion that can help you with your research. You go in the familiar path to Zecora's hut, but the hut is nowhere to be found. You were certain you are in in the right path. You look again, trying to retrace your steps. Ypu fly up in the sky, looking for the hut, but you still cannot find it. You land back on the ground.

You decide to keep going, thinking the hut will turn up eventually, because if Zecora moved somewhere else, she would tell you, right? You  keep trotting down further into the Evefree Forest. You are not afraid, because you have been in the forest many times before. After a while, you hear some noise, coming from the path in front of you.

You...

Follow the noise

Decide to come back another day

Chapter 3

"Well, it's been great meeting you all, but I really have to find a way home," you explain. "Back in my world, I'm a princess, and right now I have to continue my research at my castle. Does anypony know where I can find out a way to go back home?"

"Silly filly!" Pinkie said. "You can't leave until you've helped us!"

"Fine," you say. "Then I'll just have to find my way back home.

"Well," Pinkie said. "I know a pony who knows how to get you back to your world..."

You finally feel hopeful that there's a chance you can get back to Equestria. "Really?" You say. "Please show my this pony!"

"Buuut..." Pinkie said. "If you want us to help you, the  first you gotta help us!"

You sighed. Looks like the only way of  ever getting home, was through helping these ponies with their conflict. You sigh before saying, "fine."

Chapter 4

"So, who's the ruler here?" You ask.

"Oh, that would be Queen Luna," Pinkie answered.

"Wait, isn't Celestia suppose to rule?" You ask.

"Nope! Queen Luna's the older sister, so she pretty much rules all of Altestria. Princess Celestia just raises the sun," Pinkie answers. Then, you remember that your in the altered version of Equestria.

"Can you take me to her?" You ask.

"Of course! Queen Luna would be so happy to see you! Right after I gather up my friends, they could help us," Pinkie responds. She bounces over to a group of mares that are also a part of the crowd.

You see four familiar faces.

"Hey girls! This is Twilight, Twilight this is Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack!"

"She knows all of you from another dimension!" Pinkie informed.

"You're from another dimension?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Cool!"

"We'll help you, darling," Rarity said. "To save Altestria from danger."

"Alright! First we need to go to the Tolretnac," Pinkie said.

You blink. "Excuse me?"

"It's the place where the Queen Luna lives," Pinkie said.

"Oh, right, this was a twisted version of Equestria. In my world, it was called Canterlot," you say, walking in the path with Pinkie and the others. "I guess we should go buy some train tickets first."

"What are trains?" Pinkie asked.

"You don't have trains here either?" You ask.

"Well, I don't know what a train is, but we have wagons," Pinkie said. This world reminds you more of the olden days of Equestria. These ponies even dress up like the ponies long, long back. You guess there's not any modern technology in this world.

Once all of your allies got loaded in the wagon, Applejack and Rainbow Dash volunteered to pull it. The road was bumpy along the ride. "So, how's your family doing on the rock farm?" You ask, curious of how this world works.

Suddenly, Pinkie fell over, laughing. "A rock farm? Good one, Twilight!"

"I'm serious," you say. "In my world, your family lived on a rock farm."

Pinkie got up from laughing, realizing that you're actually serious. "My family doesn't live on a rock farm, they don't even live on the farm. They all live in my village with me, and work in our family bakery.  We named it The Pie Bakery. You nod, listening to Pinkie. You were surprised that Pinkie lived with her family.

"I understand that there are counterparts in this world, so do you know my counterpart?" You ask.

"Oh, yeah, I know. You were  a teacher who worked at the schoolhouse. You always had a passion for knowledge, but an even bigger passion of sharing it with others," Pinkie said.

You nod. This world seems a lot strange to you. You notice that it isn't the completely opposite, or completely same as you world. "Who's the librarian?"

"That would be Cheerilee," Pinkie answers.

"In my world, I use to be a librarian, but now I'm a princess," you say.

Pinkie gasps. "You're an actual princess? Wow, that's so cool! I mean, you said you had wings and a horn, so I thought you were an alicorn queen, but a princess? Princesses aren't that lucky in my world. They're still earth ponies. Celestia is an earth pony too, even though it seems like she actually should be an alicorn since she's in the royal family. Actually I think all the members of the royal family should be alicorns."

"Wait, so princesses aren't alicorns?" You ask.

Pinkie shakes her head. "Only queen are alicorns. There's a queen for each nation. Though it would be interesting to have other creatures roam around Equestria rather than ponies."

"In my world, there are other creatures. There are griffons, and yaks. There are many more," you say.

"Wow, I'd really want to live in your world, it's so interesting," Pinkie tells you. Finally you arrive at Tolretnac. You and your friends step towards the entrance guarded by the royal guards.

As you approach the big castle doors, the guards block them. "Speak you purpose," one says.

"I'm the royal baker," Pinkie said. "I need to talk with Queen Luna."

The guards observe Pinkie closely for a few moments. "Check for weapons," one guiard says to the other. He checked all the ponies for weapons.

"All clear," he reported.

"You may enter," the guards unblocked the doors, and you and your friends enter.

"I didn't you you were the royal baker," you say, shocked.

"Since my food was so good, Queen Luna wanted me to cook for her. We were close together for a while. Then when she asked me, I said that I couldn't leave my family, and my family wanted to stay in the village. So Queen Luna said I could live in the village, and cook for her. And that sure did bring in a lot of business," Pinkie explained.

You see Queen Luna sitting on a big throne, and Celestia on the smaller one. Celestia would've looked like an ordinary village pony if she wasn't sitting on a throne. Queen Luna looked majestic and wise. She looked like a more mature version of herself compared to the Luna in your world, and Celesri alooked smaller compared to her.

Queen Luna smiled. "Pinkie, how are you? What must you ask of?"

Pinkie stepped up. "Hi, Luna! We found out that the prophecy is true! Our savior has come! She can end the terror," Pinkie said. She stepped back, motioning you to step forward.

"Hello, your majesty," you begin formally. "I am Twilight Sparkle, and I have fallen out from the sky this day."

"So, Zecora was right, the prophecy is true," Queen Luna said to herself.

"Zecora? She's the one who told all the prophecies? Does she live in the Everfr- er, Eerfreve?" You ask.

Queen Luna nodded. "She was known for telling prophecies, and lived in the Eerfreve. Ponies would come all day, form in long lines, just to hear her prophecies. Once I knew that these prophecies were coming true, I knew I had to meet her, to end the the terror caused by The Tyrant."

"What's The Tyrant?" You ask, confused.

"Ever since this crisis began, a few ponies have seen the pony responsible for this. She had lit many villages on fire, and dark magic and bad luck lurks wherever she goes. Ponies described her as a horrifying, cruel monster. And that was how the name, The Tyrant, was born," Queen Luna answered.  "Which is why you will go on a quest to stop The Tyrant once and for all. I will arm you with the necessities that you need."

"Okay!" Pinkie bounced to follow Queen Luna. You and the others follow her to the weapon room.

Chapter 1

Curious, you follow the noise. It was coming from a bush. You walk over to the bush, but as soon as you got there, the ground gave in, and you began to fall! You scream as you fell, you looked up to see blue and white all around you. You were falling from the sky! You suddenly remember you have a pair of wings, and try to fly to safety. but nothing happened. You were shocked to discover your wings were gone! You then remember that you have a horn. Surely that can't be gone, right? You were born with it. But when you try to cast a spell, nothing happened. You also realize that your horn was gone too! So you just continue screaming.

You finally land down, but instead of hitting the hard ground, you crash into something soft that broke your fall. She glance to see somepony put a big mattress on the ground. When you look up, you see several faces looking right back at you. Who were these ponies? You didn't recognize them as Ponyville residents.

"Oh, good, she's not dead!" One pony exclaims.

"The prophecy was true! Our hero has come at last!" Another pony exclaims.

When you fully recover, you ask, "what is going on?"

You find a familiar pink pony look at you. "You fell from the sky, that's what happened!" You noticed the high pitched excitement in this mare's voice. Could this be...

"Pinkei Pie!" You blurt out.

"How did you know my name?" Pinkie asks.

"You look exactly like my friend Pinkie! Wait, is it really you?" You say.

"I don't really know you, except from the prophecy. I'm friends with pretty much everypony around here," Pinkie said.

"Wait, what prophecy?" You ask, confused.

"You see, Altestria's in big danger, and long ago, there as a prophecy that said 'after the darkness falls, our savior will be falling from the sky. A pony in twilight colors with the mark of six stars on her rear," Pinkie explained. "Besides, it also gave us the timing, place, and coordinates!"

"Wait, Altestria?" You question.

"Yeah, Altestria, the land you're in," Pinkie replied.

"Wait, don't you mean Equestria?" You ask.

"Nope! It's Altestria!" Pinkie answeres.

"Wait, where are my wings and horn?" You ask. "I couldn't find them when I was falling.

Pinkie looked confused. "Wings and horn? What do you mean? Nopony has wings and horns."

"This seems like an alternate version of Equestria," you think aloud. "Even my friends altered."

You got up.

You decide...

To find a way home

To ask more about Altestria

Chapter 2

You trot back into the Everfree Forest. It turns out you really did need some rest, because you find Zecora's hut in the path you walked in yesterday. You knock on the door, and she greets you in.

"Good morning,Twilight, have you slept alright?" Zecora asks you.

"Yes,it turns out I really needed some rest," you answer. "Yesterday when I came here, I couldn't find the hut at all."

"The secret that lies in the Everfree, only once chose to those who believe," Zecora says.

You don't understand what it means, but you just assume it's one of those old riddles that Zecora tells you a lot.

She gives you the potion, and you say your goodbyes, and happily trot back to your castle. You began to wonder, what was behind that noise you heard from yesterday? What did Zecora really mean? You shrug off those questions as you begin working on your research with the potion.

The End
