The Apple orchard

"Wha.. ugh"

The smell of the Autumn breeze filled his nostrils as he lay there. Quietly.

The itchy grass underneath him caused him to want to move. But he felt exhausted.

He finally pryed his eyes to a small red fruit, looking juicy and ready to eat. The thought Of food made him realize he was indeed, quite hungry. In fact, it felt like he hadn't eaten In weeks.

No, wait. Gotta get up first.

He slowly started to bring his hoof's toward himself. Inch by inch, he slowly pulled himself  Up into a sitting position.

Much better.

As he looked at his surroundings, he noticed something was off. Besides the fact he doesn't remember anything, not even his own name. Everything was, blurry. Out of focus. He rubbed his eyes to try to get rid of this, but to no avail.

Was he blind?

No, blind ponies can't see, I can, but barely.

Remembering he was hungry, he immediately reached for the Apple and took a bite. The Apple was perfectly ripe and delicious. Compliments to the chef. Or tree. Or Gardner- whatever.

As he sat there. Enjoying the breeze and Apple, a sudden voice entered his head.

Brother.

Find your brother.

In the distance, he could hear someone shouting "brother! Help me!"

He immediately stood up. However, quickly fell down due to the rush of dizziness that hit him. He didn't give up that easily though. as fast as he could, he got up and rushed toward the shouting. Faster and faster, running past one blurry tree to the next. "Where are you?!" He shouted as loud as he could.

"Over here!"

"I'm coming"

As he got closer and closer to the source of the shouting, he heard voices, two new voices.

"Ya sure ya heard shoutin' comin' from over here?"

"Eeyup."

"There it is again, we better hurry, somepony could be hurt!"

"Eeyu- Oof!"

He looked in horror as the scene unfold in front of him. A big red blob bumping into what appeared to be a cart, full of Apple's. The cart started to roll down the hill directly toward, his brother. He charged with all his might toward his brother, a losing battle as a cart full of Apple's will definitely go faster than a exhausted pony. But he would not let a stupid cart take away his brother.

He leaped toward his brother, and everything froze.

He looked at his "brother". It was weird, he didn't even remember him. But he just kind of knew, that this was, in fact, his brother. it was kind of like a instinct of sorts. he could feel the bond, but didn't know why. he examined the young colt. he had a navy blue colt and short red mane. nothing else was distinguishable due to blurriness.

Time slowly started coming back, and he knew that one thing; that this is going to hurt. He pushed his terrified brother off to the side, safely out of the way of the cart.

All he could do is watch as the unforgiving wooden cart full of Apple's hustled toward's him and hear the sickening crunch of bones.

In his head again

Woah. What just happened.

You just saved your brother. Congrats.

...

Ah. You want to know what's going on, don't you?

Oh course I do! What is going on?! Why do I only remember my so called "brother"? Why is everything so blurry? Why are you in my head? Wha-

Woah, woah, woah, way to many questions. But I made out a couple of them. Why is everything so blurry? Well, when you wake up, that question be answered. Why am I in your head? Well, I can't say...

You just answered none of my questions.

**I know. That was the point.

So, your just going to keep me in the dark?

Well, yes, yes I am. But don't fret! SOME of your questions will be answered when, as I said earlier, you wake up.

So, then Why are you here? To call me an idiot some more?

Uh, no. As you may remember, I said I'm technically not part of your head. However, due to... events, I am stuck in your noggin for the time being. Your brother also has a similar... conditions. But don't worry. You only have to deal with me when you are sleeping.

Thank celestia.

Oh haha. Well anyway, I just have to tell you. Protect your brother. He has something very powerful.

Powerful? Please explain.

With pleasure, if you couldn't tell due to blurriness, your brother is a unicorn.

How do you-?

Not important. Anyways, your brother has been infused with quite a powerful magic, and when you wake up, you can check out the scar on his belly

A scar?  You mean he had surgery?

Uh, you could say that.

...

wait, why would infuse him with magic through the stomach? I don't think that's how magic is "infused" into ponies.

how do you know, are you a unicorn?

...no

exactly.

Are you always this withholding with information?

Maybe.

...

Anyway, you'll be waking up now, so good luck! See you tonight!

Dear celestia, give me strength.

the void

Pain. Pure agonizing pain.

Not stub your finger pain. More like break your bones pain

Every bone in your body broken pain

That is how he felt.

Well, that was how he felt a couple of minutes ago.

Now, it was just darkness.

An empty void.

He attempted to recollect his thoughts.

It didn't work.

He tried recalling what he was doing before the pain.

Nope. Nothing.

How about his name?

Nope. Not even his name.

Wait! There is one thing.

Br.. brother.

Find your brother.

That makes no sense.

Well, it makes some sense, but what brother? I don't see a brother around here.

That's because it's your head genius.

Oh.

Where am I?

Your in your head. Try to keep up, you idiot.

Sheesh, when did my head become so rude?

Well, I'm technically not part of your head.

I'm so confused.

You probably should be.

Try moving.

"Uh, urgh."

Nope. Can't move.

Well, what are you waiting for? Get up and find your brother!

Wh.. what? I just said I can't move!

FIND

YOUR

BROTHER
