I have not seen the old wizard nor his pupil for the past few days, I continued practicing what I learned and thanks to watching Starswirl, I can at least entertain myself for the time being until he comes to visit again. It seems my interaction with the old unicorn has been spreading false rumors around, I’ve been getting visits from other unicorn, funnily some of them have mistaken me for a wishing well and when they threw in their bits in, you imagine the look in their faces when see their bits levitated back out and into their hoofs, some of would throw it back in out of curiosity, some would get scared and walk away, while others often stayed to talk to me, I would listen to them eagerly and afterwards they would either feel better, or ask for advice on the subject, often times they’ll ask for advice and I would try my best to answer them.

There have been times I was called a God or a wise-spirit, its amazing how ponies get their information wrong through word of mouth and gossip, there are a few unicorns whom I’ve often question their insanity when they would ask for the impossible, such as Chocolate rain, world domination, ultimate power, to be admired by everyone, hearing those types of selfish needs made me mentally sick. However, despite such darkness in their heart, there have been a few honorable ponies.

The visits was starting to twiddle, become less and less frequently due to the coming of Winter, however it felt… unnatural, like some kind of force was behind it compared to what I usually see of it, I started to feel uneasy as I felt it in the air, it flowed into my being , it was attracted to me for some reason, the rush of energy made me feel like I was being torn apart at first but once it subsided, I felt little stronger, just thinking about it made me shudder..

Tonight, was the coldest I’ve ever felt, a sheet of snow blowing through the wind and soon my surroundings was getting covered in a thick blanket of snow, my mind, body, and powers were starting to weaken and slow down, the freezing gales were beginning to seal me in a block of ice, but it didn’t end there, the powers of frost continued to whirl like a violent storm of malevolent. I was now scared, I couldn't shake off this feeling of dread when I started seeing things dancing without my vision, the vision slowly faded into the what appeared spiritual horses flying around, one of them was getting close to my icy prison and soon it was near me, it stared at down with bright colored eyes filled of power, I would of shuddered if I wasn't imprisoned.

“...Why… Do… You.. Resist?” The ghost stallion asked with an eerily voice, it glared at me with disgust, hatred and anger, I was powerless before it and could not response, it snarled at me, causing my mind to go black when the temperature dropped below zero, I was floating in an endless sea of darkness and paralyzed with fear, it was like experiencing death all over again, I thought I was going to die.

A glaring flash filled the void, bringing me back to the living, the light felt… peaceful and full of harmony, the ice melted away along with the snow, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, the flowers were blooming. Despite such a serene picture, I was still a little spooked from the whole experience.

Another day has gone back and still no visitors, the forest is grew a little more thicker within next few days and I had lost count on how much time has past, all of this loneliness was beginning to drive me crazy

My attention was drawn by the sound of something rustling in the bushes, and out came a unicorn, he came close to my pool, leaned down and was going to take a sip of my pool, I had to quickly grab the unicorn by his muzzle via telekinesis and push him away, I may have allowed Starswirl to take a bucket fulled of a piece of my body of water, but I’d rather not chance it and allow this unicorn to drink me.

“...What the buck?!” It exclaimed, quickly looking around frantically. “Show yourself!”

[ ][First you try to drink me then you tell me to show yourself?]

“Are you hiding in this pool?” the idiotic stallian said, looking down at me with a dumbfound expression. “Come out of there, coward!”

[I AM the pool]
“...A magically talking pool? This has gotta be some prank” it said… If I had eyes, they would be twitching right about now

[I am no prank, unicorn, I am known as Echo, entity of this water]

The unicorn burst out laughing. “Right, and I’m the princess of equestria.” He said mockingly. I can tell I didn’t like this stallions attitude.

[If I was mere trickery, would I do this?]

I reached up with my Telekinesis and grabbing his muzzle, quickly grabbing and dunking his head down into the waters of my being, he flailed his legs and hoofs around trying to pull his head out, eventually I let him go and he managed to get his head out and gasped in fresh air. “..SPAWN OF TARTARUS!” Suddenly, he fired of a magic bolt into my body of around, creating a large splash but bringing no pain to my being, all the unicorn did was create a disruption that sent waves and ripples.

I have no idea what or who tartarus, but i’m guessing it’s something that was made during my forced slumber.

[Are you done?] Asking him this only made throw more and more bolts of energy, splashing me around and scattering bits and pieces of my memories, still no pain inflicted, all he’s doing is annoying me. [Feel better?] I asked in a deadpann voice, and he responded with a loud groan.

"How are you still talking?!” he asked, looking around to try and spot something.

[I am nothing but a large pool of water, I can’t feel pain. Now, if you’re done blasting me with your magic, please be on your way.] the stallion snorted and ran off into the woods, leaving me once again alone. Angering that unicorn felt strangely… refreshing, I felt energy being pulled from him from his attacks, it wasn’t his blasts of energy but rather from his body directly, I feel a little.. empowered? It’s like an adrenaline rush, I felt… alive..

Indeed, I felt strength well in my being, I made an attempt to shake and move, and surely by my mental commands, my body of water did just that, I started experimenting moving softly and pulled myself up, a strange sensation washed over my body as I felt it form onto land like a solid mass, I pushed myself up and began to concentrate hard, twisting and turning my liquid body into a shape until eventually I stood on all four legs in the shape of a Unicorn much like the many that visited me in the past.

I slowly turned my newly formed head around and saw that half of the pool was gone, most likely now part of my newly constructed body, I am now a unicorn of water separated from what I once was, once the pool calmed down, I took look at my reflection, I was slightly transparent but solid enough to at least make out a few facial features, my eyes were slitted like that of the snake and the color of emeralds, seeing this imagery made me feel that I should remember this, yet I can’t for the life of me know what it is..

I let out a telepathic sigh, it was bad enough that I lived as a shapeless body of water without knowing I could of just pulled myself onto the shore all this time, this is a start though, I’ll be able to go places and find other means of entertainment and try to find out why things such as anger and chaos seem to give me strength and power, am I like the spiritual horses that ravaged the lands?

Shaking off my thoughts, I started to experiment with my new body, taking slow and study steps, my body kept shaking and wiggling like a rubber band but my body managed to hold together during the progress, I was literally like a newborn foal except more flexible. Once I had the hang of things, I started to travel through the forest, my body now coming more solid with each step I took, I was starting to wish that Starswirl managed to find a way to get me a body, I mean a real body, not this current one, while it does look like a normal unicorn body, they’ll know something is wrong if they got too close.
