I had stayed up all night working in the forge on one thing. a small dagger able to switch in, and out of a leather strap without cutting it. having to use leather made this process harder than needed, because it takes a few gears, and so on for the blade to slip it out without cutting the leather, but when I had nearly finished I heard hooves pounding on the ground coming towards my forge.

"ROY!" Fluttershy screamed as she approached quickly, and out of breath. "Twilight, and the others need your help." Fluttershy tells me frantically while panting all the while.

"What's going on, and can I make another one of these in time before I come over there." I reply to her as I slip on the leather bracelet thing with a dagger in it.

"No." She replies flatly. "Ok then lead the way!" I say starting to get up while grabbing my pack.

We ran all the way to an extremely large field where I could see discord battling against Twilight, and the others as Fluttershy runs over to them putting her element around her neck. "Discord what are you doing!" I roared out toward him.

"Oh look who decided to join the party" Discord told me as he flicked Twilight, and the others away.

"Twilight when did discord become so strong?" I ask her from across the field.

"I will answer that one Roy. I became so powerful after you turned me to stone again, because instead of just sitting there in my imagination I decided to learn a few things about the elements of harmony, and the girls. I learned that the elements run on their friendship of course, but they also run on their feelings, and if you haven't already noticed I drained them of their feelings except fluttershy, because she ran off when I did like a coward." My anger started to flare as Discord started to build a large structure ignoring me. I turned from a unicorn to an alicorn as my temper started to go out of control.

"ROY DON'T!" Twilight screamed in an attempt to stop me, but I ignored her warning, and made a fatal mistake, because I flew up to him without a plan to stop him, because when I tried to buck him, he disappeared, and trapped me with magic in a single spot. I could feel him starting to steal my power, and using my rage to generate more. "Enough games Roy time to put my plan into action." Discord said reappearing, and starting to electrocute me draining my power faster, and more painful. My screams of pain didn't detour him from his objective.

I could feel myself losing all my power, as my vision started going black around the edges. "Discord I swear I will kill you when, and if I don't die here." I tell him as weak as I am now.

"Oh trust me Roy you won't have any chance once i'm done with you. I see the structure he is building is a large maze built in a giant hole in the ground, but it was the last thing I could see before I black out.

I wake up in a dark place feeling weak. Where am I? What happened after I blacked out? I get up slowly as I feel the pain in my aching joints get more unbearable. I see a corridor on the other side of the small room, so I start to move towards it with what little strength I have left from what had just happened. I made my way to the corridor, and pushed myself against the wall to make sure I don't fall over before I can see if any other ponies are here. "Is anypony here?" I call out semi-quietly. The only response I get is a groan from a few yards away. Slowly I make my way over. The groans keep coming, and start sounding more feminine the closer I get.

I finally round the corner, and look into a room where a gray mare with a bubbly cutie mark laying on the ground with a horrible wound on her hind leg dribbling blood in a slow, and steady stream. I rush over towards the mare, as my eyes start filling up with red covering my light orange eyes. I backup a little bit as my mind starts to fill with ideas of killing the mare in the bloodiest ways imaginable, but i'm able to hold myself together, and open my pack to pull out leather, and rip it into pieces to place over her wound, and tie it with leather straps. I lift her onto my back making sure I don't make her injury worse.

After many hours of wandering the maze the mare starts to come to, so I look back, and observe her as she wakes up. "Where am I! Who are you! Why am I not back home!? she wails starting to panic.

"Calm down or else!" I say to her sternly. She stops panicking enough for me to tell her. "You have a bad wound on your leg miss. I suggest you don't move for awhile." I tell her walking slowly regaining my strength as we keep going on

"Where are my wings at?" She asks me.

"you had wings?" I reply to her confused.

"Yes I did, and you have-" She stops mid-sentence to notice i'm an alicorn. "Your an alicorn." She tells me quietly in my ear.

"Excuse me I forgot to tell you my name. My name is Roy, and what is yours?" I tell her trying to ignore the fact she just realized I am the lost prince.

"My name is Derpy my prince." She tells me politely.

"Please don't call me your prince I prefer my actual name Roy." I tell her, and she just nods closing her eyes.

Much later I hear Derpy snoring as we are taking a bit of a break from wandering this maze, but why didn't I lose my horn, and wings like she lost her wings. Did it have something to do with me being able to change from an alicorn, to a unicorn, to a pegasus, to a earthpony. I need answers from the one who did this, until then I need to make sure nopony is hurt in my care, because I will not mess up again, because all of this is my fault. Discord used me to make this prison. I will not die from this I will make him pay for hurting me, and doing this to derpy, and whoever else is here.

He. Will. Pay. Next Chapter: meeting my sisters, and Fluttershy Estimated time remaining: 35 Minutes
