        I spent a few more minutes looking at the rest of my body. It was...really weird having your body change. You get wised to the body and then poof! Now you have a body that you are slightly oriented to.

        I noticed a marking on my flank while I observed myself in the mirror. It was a symbol of three circles inside of a larger one. Strange hieroglyphs bordered the outer circle, while some covered the inner portion.

        One that was part of The Order could recognize that mark without trouble.

        The Halo of the Sun, or the Goddesses Crown.

Another appropriate thing to add to the list.

The zebra peeked over the mirror at me. "Please don't think of this question as strange, but I desire to know your name."

I stopped posing and got in a tall, proud stance. I always had the biggest of introductions planned out for things like this.

"I," I boomed, "am Xuchilbara, The Red Executioner, The Angel of Torment and Pain." I looked down at the mare, expecting a impressed, fearful, or amazed expression.

All I got was a look of What the Fuck is this guy talking about?

I softened my stance and placed a hoof behind my neck. "But, you can just call me Pyramid Head. I mean..."

She raised a hoof to me. For some reason I stopped talking. With a small smile, the zebra cleared her throat.

"I am Zecora, a professional potions mare; I live in the Everfree, where to go in no one dares."

"Uh huh..." Why is she speaking in rhyme? I asked myself; though I didn't really want to ask. "So...I guess that I am in your home, at the moment?"

Zecora nodded. "I found you outside, In a crater alone; so I dragged you here to my home." She turned and pointed out of her window. I wobbled over to her and looked outside.

The area was heavily covered with trees, plants, bushes. I assumed that it was normal forest vegetation. But one spot about 30 yards away was cleared of any plant life. In the middle of this dead zone was a crater about 20 feet wide.

I stared in silence. How could I have survived a fall that made that? It would have killed a normal...oh wait.

I just remembered that I wasn't normal.

"Okay. So, Zecora, when you found me, was I like...This?" I gestured to my body.

She nodded once more.

"Damn. Wait, did you find anything with me?" I asked with high hopes that maybe she found my Great Knife and was keeping it safe.

"I'm sorry," Zecora responded, shaking her head. "but when I found you in that field (she pointed to the crater), you had nothing to yield."

I turned and snorted. "Well this is fucking great! No helmet, no sword, I'm a horse; How can this day get any worse?!" I stomped at the last words.

ROOOOOOAAAAAAARRRR!!!

I snapped my head to the door. "Okay...what was that?" I turned back Zecora for an answer, but she looked too terrified to answer.

The zebra gulped. "That roar..." she started to back up slowly "was a Manticore's"
