Equestria Series : The Fall of a Kingdoms
Chapter 1 : Memory
Load Full StoryI don't know where I am. I do not remember anything. Nothing about me or my past. I-I'm a mare, a pegasus to be precise. I look at myself, gray mane, white coat. that's special. I looking around me. I'm in a forest. A path is emerging in front of me. I heard something behind me. The night coming, I follow the path, a strong wind is rising.
I walk, I see an old wooden hut. There is someone inside. I go directly to a window and look through it, there is a zebra. The cabin isn't very big, it's not where she lives. She seems a little busy. The rain is starting to fall. A drop falls on my nose.
The zebra takes some things, mainly tools, and leaves the cabin. I hide behind bushes. She looks up at the sky and says:
"This rain will do good...", She's moving into the forest.
I follow her a hundred meters discreetly until I reach a house dig in a tree, strange masks everywhere outside. She's going into the house. The rain is getting heavier. I'm approaching the door of her house. I knock twice. The door opens and the zebra looks at me, analyzes me. She looks suspicious and then smiles.
The zebra says in a sweet voice
"Hello, young mare. What are you doing here ?"
"I'm, uh... lost."
"Lost?...I've never seen your colors before. Who are you? And where are you from ?"
"Uh...I... " I don't know what to say.
"Don't you remember anything ?"
I nod.
"Go inside, I'll help you."
I enter the house, the inside is... strange. Filled with masks like the outside, a cauldron, and various objects. I feel safe and secure.
I look at her, "I, uh...What's your name?"
"My name is Zecora." That name means nothing to me. "Your memory is failing you"
I sigh "yeah... and where are we?"
"It's Everfree Forest. Next to a small village call PonyTown"
"PonyTown ?"
"Yes, you know nothing about our world ?"
"This world tells me absolutely nothing"
I see her thinking for a moment, "What do you remember?"
"Nothing... except..." I remember a few things. Some scary things. A voice.
"Except?"
"A voice... but I don't know what she said."
"A voice? Maybe you'll get your memory back in time."
The sound of that voice comes up inside me but it's indescribable.
"Who am I?"
Zecora sighed and gave me so much tea.
"Tea will do you great good"
I'll take it easy. "Thank you"
"Tomorrow I'll take you to PonyTown. Someone can help you."
"Thank you" I'm looking at my tea.
I watch Zecora "Who will help me?"
She smiles "A young mare, princess, the sweetest of our lands. She'll help you find your forgotten memories."
"A princess? Okay," I'll finish drinking my drink. "Can I sleep over?"
"Sure," she shows me a bed. I sit there and fall asleep, tired.
The next day, I wake up. The warm rays of the sun are warming me. I can still hear that voice. I get up, Zecora's not here. I grab an apple, eat it and head outside. I see her waiting for me. "Can we take the road? To solve your troubles."
I smile "yes."
We start walking in the dark forest. I follow her, she seems sure of herself. That's reassuring. She's watching me for a moment.
"Your appearance does not leave me perceptive"
I watch it "Ah? Why?"
"Your Cutie Mark is missing. You are very unusual."
"My Cutie Mark?"
She shows me hers on her flanks. When I see her, I look at mine but nothing. "Ooooh I see... what does that represent?"
"She represents your character, your admiration, your fanaticism, or your ambitions."
"I see..." We're coming out of the forest. I observe the village that appears before me. It is a small village, very colorful, with a purple castle. I'm amazed. Zecora smiles. I move forward then I feel a presence behind me. My senses are attentive to everything. Someone's behind me. I turn around quickly. A pink mass collapses on me and I drop to the ground.
She yells at me, "YOU ARE NEW?! HUH HUH HUH?! WHERE ARE YOU FROM? OH! I HAVE TO THROW A PARTY!"
I lower my ears to her screams. Zecora laughs slightly "Come on Pinkie Pie, you should calm down"
Pinkie shifts and lets me up. She jumps on the spot. "You're gonna see Twilight, huh?!"
The zebra smiles "yes. We must see her"
"I'm gonna throw a party! See you later!" She's running away.
I continue our way slightly shocked by Pinkie Pie. When I arrive in front of the castle, I stop. I hear the voice. That forgotten voice. She's cleaner and looks familiar to me. The voice of a stallion. "You...must...p-"
Zecora shakes me slightly out of my mind. "What's the matter?"
I make a gesture to Zecora to keep her quiet. I try to concentrate but the voice does not return to me. "Damn!"
Zecora looks at me, "That voice again?"
I sigh "yes..."
"Let's go see the princess, you need her precious help"
I nod and enter the castle.
I'm moving into the main room. I observe the multiple crystals, the large table, and the six thrones. I remain amazed. A beautiful mare with purple coats looks at me and smiles when she sees Zecora. "Hello Zecora"
"Hello princess, I bring you this very troubled mare."
The princess looks at me, I blush slightly. She says to me, "What's wrong with you?"
"I, uh, I lost my memory."
"Oh, I see..." She suddenly notices all my flaws. "It's not just that..."
"Ah?"
"Yes, you have no cutie mark, your wings have no mark of old age, if science were to give you an age it would say you were just born"
"But..."
"But you're already grown... you're... incoherent, no offense."
I sigh. "Why am I so strange?"
Twilight looks at me "I won't say strange...it's too pejorative. Just out of the ordinary."
I smile slightly "thank you"
Zecora leaves while we talk.
The princess looks at me, "What do you remember?"
"Nothing... I only remember everything that's happened since I arrived in this forest... and a voice"
"A voice?"
"Yes... I hear it sometimes... but never completely"
" Traces of your past... or something you don't want to forget."
"Probably..."
"You're gonna help m-"
At that precise moment, an explosion sounded in the distance and then another in the castle. I tremble, the walls crack, everything goes very fast. I can hear the roof collapsing. Something hit my skull. I fall to the ground unconscious.
