Here I am sitting in a clearing in the middle of the Everfree Forest meditating. I was meditating in that clearing for about an hour or three before I got hungry, and headed back to Zecora's hut.

As I neared the hut I cast the detection magic, and no pony is there except Zecora, and a guest I think I don't know who though. I open the door to Zecora's hut, and see her chatting with a very bright green unicorn. "So your that alicorn who ran off from the castle." She told me kinda interested, kinda uninterested. "Well i'm not interested in alicorns, and such i'm more interested in anthropology the study of humans, so  you have nothing to fear from me." She said as she stood straight up, and thanked Zecora for having her over, and she kinda just walked out standing up.

"Roy your getting too big to stay in my hut sooner or later your gonna have to either live in ponyville or go back to canterlot." Zecora told me as she got up, and walked over to the other room. She always says things at the most random of times I still kinda don't get her, and how long have I been living here? After grabbing my second pack from my room that was full of supplies from canterlot's castle I head back outside, and back to the clearing.

I got up, and thought about paying twilight a little visit, and look at some of the spell books she has in the library she lives in. I find my usual route out of the clearing. I start using the detecting magic, because you can never be too careful especially in the Everfree Forest. I detect a bit of changelings as in five or six to my right but they are too far away for me to have any trouble with them. Until a sudden ring of green appears on my horn shutting off my magic while it was in use building it's power up. I hear a few things coming towards me so I slip into a bush to hide myself. Two changelings came out of the canopy on the other side of this small area, and immediately started closing in on me. While I was busy keeping my eyes trained on those two from the inside of a bush the other four jumped at me from behind, knocking me through the bush, and into the other two.

They were most unhappy to have me on top of them they both pushed me off, before I could hit any of them. I got up fast enough to move out of the way of three of there attacks before I flew into the air where a changeling immediately grabbed my leg to pull me down. With their combined effort three of them pulled me out of the air I fell on top of two of them, but the third one bucked me in face. I pushed it back with my wings but the other two knocked me over. The other three changelings advanced upon me quickly biting one of my legs, back, and ear I shrugged them off, and flew upwards, because I could swear my head was about to burst full of magical energy, because this green ring stopped me in the middle of a spell.

I decided to try using magic again with all the magic that had built up to over come the changeling magic. My horn started to glow with a brighter light that got brighter after every second of trying to cast a spell. The changelings didn't know what to make of this, so they flew up towards me to take me down, but the moment they all got close they froze in place, and started to shiver, and scream with terrible blood curdling cries of pain. They all started to float back down to ground along with me. When we all were on the ground I decided to see if i could kill them all with a bit more magic. On that note I started pushing more magic past the green ring on my horn, by that moment all the changelings were screaming louder than ever. One changelings head popped off immediately sending blood all over the ground as the body falls down after i release it from my magical grip. The second changeling started throwing up blood uncontrollably whenever i released it, it fell to the ground, and started to form a pool of blood. The last four slowly choked to death as I made my magic grip ever more forcefully two of their throats kinda exploded all over the place leaving bits, and pieces of lungs everywhere. Though there were now three heads rolling around on the ground, two dead bodies with no neck, one dead body with a clean cut from the neck, one dead body laying in a pool of blood, and guts, two dead bodies laying motionless on the ground after being choked.

I look at my self, and see i'm in no shape to marvel in my work, because I am covered from head to hoove from what seems to be the blood of the changelings. I run in the opposite direction of Zecora's hut to make sure I don't get seen like this. I found a spring nearby that washed off all the blood from my mane, and coat. "Well hello Roy didn't think I would see you here." Said a familiar voice behind me sounding a bit arrogant.

I turn around, and see Rarity laying face upwards in the spring. "Well don't just stare say hello." Rarity said with a bit of amusement on her face. "I really did not think I would see you this deep in the Everfree Forest Rarity." I said scrubbing the rest of the blood off, before she could look at me. "Why did you come to this spring anyway Roy?" Rarity asked curious. "Only reason why I would come to a spring to clean myself up after not bathing for awhile." I reply. "Twilight was looking for you earlier. Where were you?" Said Rarity changing the subject. "I was in the middle of the forest meditating in a clearing." I tell her getting out of the spring, and drying myself off. "So you were the big magical energy she felt weren't you?" Rarity asked me as she raised her head to see what I was doing. "Probably, because I was meditating for a long while channeling my magic to be stronger." I lied to her not wanting her to know the truth. "Well that's good alicorns should be strong, and I see you have also gotten much larger since the last time we met." Rarity told me after looking me over. "Yeah I have haven't I? Well I gotta get going I got something to go do." I tell Rarity before I leave. "Bye!" I hear Rarity call out as I ascend to the sky.
