How long has it been since I first woke up. It couldn't be more then a couple days right? I look up at the sky as the celestial bodies continue their never ending race making it impossible to guess the time. How old am I even? I don't know what I am who I am except the stupid name I gave myself and that princess screaming at me that I am undead.

I'm lost. Both physically and mentally. I found a small area of woods near the waterfall. I don't know why i wanted to go towards the castle. In hindsight that was a stupid decision they are obviously hunting for me if the battalion was clue.
Why do they want me dead? What did I actually do? I don't remember causing any significant damage before she attacked me.

Thinking back on it the purple pony. What was her name? Did I ever find out? I don't really think it matters now but I think she called the princess maybe. But why?

I sat by these trees for who knows how long just waiting. It feels like hours but it could easily be days or minutes with the sky show going on. The dark aura around my hands also hasn't dissipated yet. Not even sure if it will. Nightmares also been quiet for awhile but who knows with her.

I decided to finally stand up my knees popping as I do in protest having grown accustom to my seated position.

"Should I even go anywhere?" I ask myself and whoever may be listening in this remote spot. Would you even say remote I mean its not like I move that far I'm only a few minutes away from where I landed.

Lets make a small list here then. Lost? Check. Don't know who or what I am? Check. Disembodied voice in my head gone mute? Check. I sigh things don't look that good for me right now. I think I might as well follow the battalion safety is meaningless if I don't know who is even safe or why they think I'm not safe.

I start following the battalions trail using the nearby tree's as a form of cover so they have even a chance to not see me as I approach. Hopefully I can get some answers even if there not good ones.
