The Elder Hooves II: Part 1: Cutie Mark Forsworn
Chapter 1: Sploosh!
Load Full Story Next ChapterThree little fillies were looking through a window of the well known Princess Twilight Sparkles home-A hollowed out oak tree. Now usually staring in the window of a library wasn't part of the official CMC schedule, however, they saw a bright light as they walked by, not to long ago, and continued to watch until they watched their sibling disappear.
The three fillies were frozen, not out of horror, but mainly curiosity and interest. It was a whole minute until one of them spoke up "That. Was. Cool!" Scootaloo stated "We gotta try that! Imagine us, the first ponies to get their cutie marks for disappearing!"
"I don't know about it. It could be dangerous," Sweetie Belle always advised against Scootaloo's ideas... well at least the ones she didn't agree with. But as per usual Applebloom and Scootaloo ignored her.
"Yeah! Scoots right! Besides, we could have a fun time! Now who's with me?" Applebloom hollered.
Applebloom continued to holler simultaneously "Cutie Mark Crusaders Disappearing!"
"Yep, just ignore me as usual," Sweetie Belle muttered "Huh? Oh yeah CMC Disappear and whatever."
The trio then galloped over to the door and entered the library. It seemed empty although the Fillies expected to accidentally bump into one of their now invisible sisters and their friends. After a while of walking around and quietly calling out for their sisters they deduced that the mane six were not there.
"Huh. I wonder where that thing took them." Sweetie Belle pondered
"Well, there's only one way to find out!" Scootaloo picked up the tiny gem "Sweetie, do some magic stuff to make it work."
"How?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Dunno, just do it." Scootaloo didn't answer Sweetie's question but she thought that she should try anyways.
Sweetie Belle cleared her throat and began to think of something to do. She levitated the gem away form Scootaloo then began to speak "Um, Hello? mister gem? Hi, I was wondering if you could take us to where our sisters-"
Before she could finish the gem exploded with a brilliant set of colors and lights filling the room causing the CMC to look away. Wen the lights died down, in the place of the stone was a Shrine with a sort of representation of the Elements of Harmony atop it. The whole thing was about twice the height of the fillies.
"Wow." Scootaloo uttered as she walked over to the Shrin. Gazing at the complex designs and cool depictions on the sides. However, when she lifted her hoof up to touch it she exploded into light just as the gem did, except, not as bright so her two friends could watch the whole thing. Soon Scootaloo disappeared too.
"Scootaloo!" Applebloom rushed over to the Shrine to but as she did her tail brushed against the shrine and she disappeared as well.
Sweetie Belle, devastated, was torn. She wanted to get help but her friends might be in danger right now! Father slight hesitation Sweetie lunged at the Shrine, also, dissapearing upon touch.
-3,000 feet above the Mointains of the Reach-
Sweetie Belle seemed to be floating somewhere, however, she had no clue where. After a minute or two of having a weird feeling in her stomach she realized she was falling. Falling at an incredibly fast rate and with everything around her being white she guess she was in a cloud.
Another minute had passed and she finally exited the cloud, now seeing the ground... which was a mountain range "Oh no." Sweetie whispered in horror as she prepared for her inevitable fate. Grabbing her backlegs and shutting her eyes, she huddled into a ball. She guessed it would be only a few seconds before she hit the ground.
"Three," she began to count to her death "...Two... one!" As she screamed the last number she felt a smack that was accompanied with a loud sound. She had hit her side causing it to go numb however her right side still felt. It felt something, strange yet familiar. It was lit air but pushing her up and moving in a certain direction. She was in water! The noise was a giant sploosh! She probably did hear it due to the sound of the wind as she fell.
She finally floated to the top of what seemed to be a small lake that was part of a river. She decided to float downstream until she found her friends. By Celestia I hope they're alive!
