[993AB Day 230]
After about forty days or so after arriving, Kaylee Anderson had had just about enough of the isolation.

She didn't know if she was in some sort of coma, but it seemed clear she wasn't about to wake from this dream.

Part of her recognized this place as Equestria, or at least a part of it. For some reason, she couldn't quite recall from where in the series that this location resembled. And on a couple times, when it seemed she almost remembered, there was just such agonizing pain ripping through her brain that she completely lost consciousness while screaming, only to forget any progress she may have made in her recollection whenever she would finally wake again. And worse, were the nightmares that would wake her in screaming terror afterwards.

But that's all she could remember: the moon held the image of Nightmare Moon's face on its cratered surface, and she was in someplace that seemed familiar from something she had seen in the show.

And also, her body wasn't that of a young girl anymore, but some strange fire-breathing monster, with thick heat-resistant scales, a four-footed stance, huge wings, thick reptilian tail, claws, and teeth that could shatter diamonds and other precious gems. A creature, whose label, she knows she should remember—but trying to remember was what threatened to drive her utterly insane with pain every time she tried.

There were certainly benefits to staying put. The gems in that pile were tasty beyond belief, and the lava lake was so-o-o soothing to swim in. Except, there was just nobody to talk with.

On the other hand, if this was Equestria, she needed to get help, and soon! Only, she had no idea of which way would get her to Canterlot and the alicorn Princess Celestia.

"Alicorn!" she muttered. "Combing all three aspects of earth pony, unicorn, and pegasus into one creature. Princesses Celestia and Luna are alicorns!" That, she could remember.

But trying to remember what sort of creature she was supposed to be—that only brought pain!

"Celestia—and Luna," she whispered. "They're sisters!" Where was her own sister, Jessica? Where were her parents!?

She wandered, not for the first time, to the outer lip of the massive caldera and looked out over the expanse of jungle that began at the base of the huge mountain. There were no signs of other habitations in any direction on those times where she had looked out at different locations along the rim, searching for any clues as to where the Kingdom of Equestria might exist. However, this was the first time she finally decided to set out and find it she started down the mountain's outer western slope….

Even though they proved to be impervious to her flame, the rockgators, or whatever they were supposed to be called, attacking her discovered her claws were still formidable enough to get through their rocky hides. However, that didn't mean that her fight with them was going entirely in her favor. For every monstrous mutant rockcroc she managed to kill or injure enough to make it drop out, another fresh one was there to take its place.

Their bites couldn't penetrate her own scales, but they did hurt—with a crushing, bruising ache. Her only recourse to dealing with that type of attack was to grab each of the creatures by the ends of their snouts and R-R-RIP-P-P-P-P their damned fucking jaws off their skulls.

As the fight progressed, she did find her rage at these rocklizards rather useful for boosting the strength she needed as she removed them one by one….

[993AB Day 259]
Shelter wasn't something easily found in the jungle. Fortunately, few things were willing to risk taking her on, so most times, she was able to sleep unmolested.

Except for things like those rockgators. Or those barking wood dogs—

"Dear Dad, Mom, and Jessie," she began praying as she made the best bed that she could from the forest debris. "I don't know if you guys are still alive. I can only hope so. It's been over two months now, and—and—I'm scared. I've never been so fright—"

The image of a deep funnel of water, lit by a lightening bolt coming up from it depths suddenly flashed in her mind….

"—ened—" she finished, the image causing her to trail off of her prayer.

"Timberwolves!" she exclaimed, suddenly remembering the term the show used for the wood dogs. "Twilight Sparkle and the others! They fought timberwolves!" she yelled, happily remembering something. "There was that time when Spike and Applejack got chased by timberwolves and the dragon—"

"EYYYYYYYAAAAAGHHH!!!" she suddenly screamed, clutching her head as an insanely sharp agony ripped through the middle of her skull. Writhing and twisting about in excruciating pain, she lashed out with her claws at everything around her. And she flamed….

[993AB Day 263]
She woke, groaning from the memory of the agonies she had suffered for hours, if not days, to find herself surrounded by meters and meters of ash in the midst of a burned-out circle in the jungle.

"Wh-wha—what the hell hit me!?" she gasped.

"Dragon! EYAAAGH! Dragon! EYAAAGH! Dragon! EYAAAGH!" a passing macaw screamed as it flew by….

[993AB Day 267]
Her aching head hurt something fierce.

Each step she took only made the throbbing worse.

But she couldn't stay in this place any longer.

She had to find the pony princesses to make the pain end.

Celestia would help her.

Luna would help her.

Twilight Sparkle and her little dragon brother Spi—

"EYYYYYYYAAAAAGHHH!!!" she suddenly screamed….

[993AB Day 271]
"L-L-Luna—why!?" she whimpered as she lay on her belly and looked up at the orb in the night sky. "Wh—why—why are you hurting me!?"

"Please—make it stop, Celestia!" she cried out.

"Wh-wha--what have I done to you, Twilight!?" she begged.

"Please, d-don't s-send Sp-Spike to hurt me anymore—*gasp*—he's a dragon!!" she exclaimed.

"EYYYYYYYAAAAAGHHH!!!" she suddenly screamed….

[993AB Day 285]
She growled in constant rage.

Her muscled frame was taunt with constant anger.

Her eyes burned with constant hatred.

Her stomach roiled with constant fury.

The constant pain had finally worked its toll upon her.

She was now constantly insane….

[993AB Day 312]
"I will kill you, Celestia!"

"I will kill you, Luna!"

"I will kill you, Twilight Sparkle!'

"I will kill Equestria!"

"BURN IT ALL DOWN!!"

Those creatures that had the least amount of preservation instinct in them quickly got out of her way. Those who didn't—didn't survive….
