I lay on the floor staring at black, and white hooves. Who is this pony, and why do they live in this accursed forest? She spoke to me after finishing whatever she was doing for a few minutes. "Who is this pony that has popped in through my roof for a visit?" She said in a curious tone. "You seem to have been going through the forest alone at such a young age my little pony." She says as she finally turns around to stare down at me. "Do my eyes fail me or is this the little alicorn who ran off from the castle the other day?" She said staring from my horn to my wings. With the little amount of energy I had left I replied "You can't take me back there. I would rather spend the rest of my life in this forest if i have to." I finish up my sentence with a huff and puff. "No need for any hasty movements your already in bad enough shape." She replied helping me onto a bed.

"So your name is Zecora, and your a zebra in Equestria. I thought zebras lived else where, and not in Equestria." I tell her while the feeling starts to come back from my numb wings. "Yes, and do you mind telling me your name little alicorn, and why you ran away from the castle?" Zecora asked mixing a few herbs in a mixing bowl. "Me, Celestia, and Luna's parents died, and the night after Celestia came to where i was suppose to be sleeping on that horrid night. She told me that my parents were unable to figure out what I was supposed to with my life before they died. What really got me angry was they didn't tell it to my face. My own parents were unable to, so there's your reason." I say all this in an unhappy tone that probably sounded a bit hostile to Zecora. "Now drink this up my little pony it will help you recover your strength, because enduring the everfree forest at such a young a age is a big task, so you will need all the strength you can get back right now." Zecora says dropping a foul smelling bowl of mashed herbs on the counter near me.

With no hint at all a blue pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail crashes through the window, and that pegasus is being tailed by a completely pink earth pony with a floppy tongue with purple dots on it, right behind is a yellow pegasus with a pink mane, and tail, tailing her were three other ponies, a purple unicorn with a floppy looking horn, an orange earth pony with a farm hat on, and a unicorn that looked like she had cut her hair into dreadlocks all around her body. "Zecora we may or may not have accidentally ran into poison joke again." Said the yellow pony or stallion in a male voice. "Step into the other room please." Said Zecora. They all walked by me, and only the pink pony with the floppy tongue gave me a curious look so i shrunk a bit under the covers.

After watching Zecora carry in a few big buckets of tomato sauce to the other room I started blocking them out and trying to figure out how to change my self from an alicorn to a unicorn. Through a series of sparks of pain from trying too hard my horn shrank back into my head. As I changed from an alicorn to a unicorn the pink ponies head popped out from the door, and stared directly at me while I had no idea she was watching.

"Zecora! You have a changeling in your bed! You can hear her scream this at the top of her lungs which threw me in a panic, and i kind of fell out of the bed onto my face. "No no pinkie this is actually a pony I don't see him as a changeling." She says this as she looks down at me without my horn. "Are you a changeling or are you not?" She says to me to confirm i'm a alicorn. At this note I nod my head slowly. "You see pinkie I don't know if he has any unnatural abilities or not but he is no changeling, because he was being chased by a horde the other day.

Finally all the other ponies I saw from earlier burst through the door at the hearing of a changeling. "I heard there was a changeling where is he and I will show him a good buck or two!" said the farm pony with the hat. Pinkie pointed down at me. "Would you please stop calling me a changeling I have had a rough time these past few days, and I don't need anymore struggles for my life." I say this in a tired tone which put them all in a state of confusion. Until they finally huddled together, and started discussing in hushed tones. While they were doing that I helped my self back into the bed. Until we all heard a loud series of thuds on the door. Zecora trotted over to the door, and opened it revealing a gray pony with some derpy looking eyes. She gave Zecora the mail, and Zecora bid her farewell. "Roy is this you?" She says as she hands me the mail. A look of complete horror creeps onto my face. "I want to see too!" Exclaimed the pink pony as she snatched the mail, and looked at it thoroughly with all the other ponies,pegasi, and unicorns. They all looked over at me with an expression on their face that said 'we know' which was not a good thing for me. So I did the best thing i could do at the time. I jumped out the broken window and tried to fly away, but apparently the blue pegasus was one step ahead. She grabbed me, and wrestled me back to the hut.

When I had finally settled down they dragged me over to the other room, and locked the door behind them. " So prince you thought you could get away." Said the blue pegasus with a small grin. "Yes" I replied plainly. "Zecora i'm going to take him back he needs to go back to the castle now." Said the purple unicorn with a worried expression. "Your not taking me back there!" I reply in a desperate tone trying to wrestle my way to the door, and out of the powerful farm pony's grip. "Why is that." said the white unicorn that has a purple mane. "Because I promised myself to not go back there until I figured out why I was brought into this world!" I reply after I finally stop struggling. "Well we can't continue this conversation today because we have important stuff to do so we will continue this conversation tomorrow, and we hope all your hostility will be out of your system by then.

They all leave the room, and out of the hut with me just sitting there to think to myself, and wonder should I stay in this hut or should I leave, and forget about this completely. The choice had to be made soon. Next Chapter: The Mane Six Estimated time remaining: 30 Minutes
