"Sweetie Belle... We have much to do... Wake up... Wake up, and find me..."
Sweetie Belle's eyes shot open, the world around her was spinning as her eyes adjusted to the dark landscape around her. She was under a massive oak tree, the bark looked as if it were a thousand years old. She held her forehead with her hoof to soothe the swelling pain that coursed through her brain. The loud crickets of the night did not help with the headache. The moon looked like a shiny pearl in the sky, being the only light source that helped Sweetie Belle see. She slowly stood up. Her legs trembled like they hadn't been used in years.
She had only then noticed that there was a brown saddle bag leaning against the oak tree. It had a rough, yet shiny texture. She limped over and sat down in front of it. While using her horn to unzip the golden zipper, she noticed that she was having trouble using magic. She didn't think much of it though, for she was also having trouble using her legs. She pulled out the first thing that she felt with her hoof. It was a shiny, red apple. The moonlight shined off of the fruit like a light bulb. It was so perfect that she could have mistaken it for a ruby. It was only then that Sweetie Belle noticed how hungry she was. She took a huge bite out of the ruby apple. The apple seemed like the greatest thing she had ever eaten. It felt like she hadn't eaten in decades. Once she started, she couldn't stop. The entire apple was gone in seconds.
She reached back into the bag and felt something cold to the touch. She pulled it out with her magic. Sweetie Belle couldn't quite identify what the object was. It was like a stick, with metal parts and a hole at the front with strange red cylinders on one side. The metal was carefully carved to have a picture that could only be described as lewd. Her brow furrowed at the sight. She examined the object closer and realized that one part moved. So she pulled it back and-
CHA-CHK!
The sudden sound of the object frightened her, so she dropped it onto the grassy ground. She carefully pushed the object away as she reached back into the bag. She felt around the bag for more supplies. She yelped as she felt a coursing pain go through her fetlock. She quickly pulled her hoof out of the saddle bag to see a deep cut that was bleeding. she searched around the bag carefully to find something to stop the bleeding. She pulled multiple things out of the bag; including the knife that cut her, a heavy silver pendant that resembled the elements of harmony, but with an empty space for a jewel, a small flask, and a small piece of tattered purple cloth. Although it was sun bleached, she could still make out the CMC logo. She wrapped the cloth around her cut fetlock while trying to ignore the pain.
She picked up the silver pendant in her hoof, and put it on. She was surprised to find that the pendant fit perfectly around her neck. She began to wonder where the missing jewel was. It wasn't in the bag, for it was empty, and it wasn't in the area surrounding the tree. She put everything that she took out of the bag back into it, except the cloth and the pendant. She then put the saddle bag on her back and started walking through the night.
It's been at least an hour since Sweetie Belle departed. The weight of the saddle bag made her body ache as she trotted along. There was nothing for miles except grass, some dandelions, and a few owls, screeching at each other. As if the sun goddess heard her wish. She stumbled upon a path, made of rocks and dirt. The pebbles on the path were so sparkly she might've mistaken them for diamonds. So, she began to walk.... Again.
Eventually, a deep forest greeted her as she reached the end of the path. Seeing no way out except the path she came from, she decided to push through the forest and see what she could possibly come across.
Suddenly, Sweetie Belle began to hear a humming sound that resembled that of a unicorns magic. Curious, she headed towards the sound. While she was trotting through the bushes, Sweetie Belle was quickly stopped by giant vines with thorns, similar to that of the Everfree forests. She thought and thought of what to do, then she remembered her fetlock. So she pulled out the sharp knife and slashed at the vines. It didn't do too much damage, so she swung again, and again. Until the vines were sprawled all over the ground.
She went onward, expecting at least a clue as to what she was hearing, but alas, there was nothing but trees around her, and that hum.
She suddenly heard movement in the bushes. It startled her. Instantly forcing Sweetie Belle into a defensive pose looking into the deep thicket. She used her magic to hold up the knife as the dense brush continued to shake. Leaves flew up in the air as a small squirrel jumped out of the bush frantically running into Sweetie Belles leg. It fell onto its spine but surprisingly quickly got back up and ran into the bushes behind her. Just as it went into the bushes behind her she heard a small shriek come from the squirrel as the bushes behind her shook ferociously. Sweetie Belle slowly trotted towards the brush, with her knife in front of her head, ready to strike.
To her surprise, nothing happened for a minute. She could only hear the strange hum echoing through her ears. With curiosity, she took a peek under the dense brush. Only to be met with four, beady red eyes.
