I woke up to the sound of crunching snow and soon the sound of someone writing, I opened up my eyes, I heard a young voice speaking outside of my home.

“Where could it be? The book says they’d find one here...”

I blinked the sleep out of my eyes and slowly edged over to the grass wall and peaked out through a small hole, there I saw light yellow unicorn with a red and purple color hair that grew down her hair.

“Maybe it’s deeper in the forest?...”

Once she’s a good distance away, I slowly crept out from behind my make shift wall then placed it back to conceal my home, I quickly put on the Stone Mask to once again blend in my surroundings. A filly her age shouldn’t be here in the forest, I’m also curious as to why the forest isn’t guiding her way back.

I followed behind her but stayed a distance behind her, she mentioned a stone with a face, is she talking about my Stone Mask? Why would she want it?

My attention was drawn by the sound of growling and soon three wooden wolfs came out to play. Seeing those wolfs confused me, what are they doing out so early? They’re not usually active during the day.

The young unicorn backs away in fear, she ignites her horn but all it does is sparkle and fizzle, seems she’s having trouble concentrating due to her fear.

Reaching into my back, I pulled out a fairly wide shield that bared an appearance of the Fighter’s Shield from A link to the past, it’s appearance was simple in design with a silver triforce and a sun at the top, there were silver cloud designs on both sides of the triangles. Now, I've had my fair of dealing with those weird wooden wolves and I still have the bite and claw marks to prove it.

The wolves slowly made their way closer to the scared unicorn, the moment it leaped into the air in an attempt to pounce its helpless pray, I made my move, quickly taking out a large blue shield and leaping in front of the filly.

Nature’s beast crashed into my shield and I took this moment to stab at the disoriented beast, it howled pain and back away. I heard the filly behind me let out a surprised gasp. “T-the stone face!” She said and attempted to pick me up, only to realize for I was too heavy, she even tried using magic but still made no progress.

I ignored her for now as I reached into my pouch to take out a Deku Nut, he gasped when I picked her up. “Shield your eyes.” I said, closing my eyes before throwing the nut down, blinding all the wolfs in the progress. I opened up my eyes and made a mad dash with her under my arm, she started screaming in a panic, I had to reach down and shut her muzzle.

Once I reached my home, I placed her inside and quickly closed the wall. “Keep quiet if you want to survive!” I demanded.

I heard signal of the hunt when the wolfs howled, I quickly took out my Hero’s Bow and nocked an arrow. When they came barreling through the forest, I took aim and let loose the first arrow, causing the first wolf to tumble over, I repeated the action and tried to take down the second one, but it leaped out of the way. “Man, it would be nice if I had His z-targeting or at least a companion to help me aim!” I mentally said to myself as I nocked another arrow.

The beasts came closer and closer with every failed shot, forcing me to put away my bow and reach back to pulled the Ordon’s Sword from my sheath.

The two wooden monstrosities finally arrived, they eyed me with rage since I was the one who took away their pray, I stared back at them with equality and I didn’t back down from my stance, my heart started to quicken as I tried to think of a plan.

The two magical constructs circled me like before and lined themselves up for a pincer attack. The moment I took my eye off of them, the one behind me leaped onto my back, knowing me down into the ground, I felt its wooded fangs sink into my back.

I turned my back and bashed my shield into the side of my attacker’s face to get it off of me, but the second wolf joined his brother when it bite onto the my left arm I had my shield on, lucky for me I was wearing chain mail under this tunic.

I raised my sword and slammed the pummel over its face severally to get it to dislodge its teeth, I could feel the warm blood traveling down my back and arm, I had to admit that those wolves were a little bit more smarter than my past encounters with them, I had to end this quick.

Kneeling down and pulling my sword arm back, I gathered energy into my blade as the wolfs were gathering their senses, they repeated the same tactic and leaped at the same time, I took this moment spin my body and unleash the wave of power, cleanly slicing through their mid-halves and cutting them in two.

I heard both of them yelp in pain and soon dead silence, their wooden hosts exploded in a shatter of black smoke, rewinding me of the enemies from the game, except they did not leave pieces of heart or rupees.

I slowly sheathed my sword and turned around to head back to the my hidden home, I reached up and moved the wall away. The filly was still there with her eyes tightly shut, the poor thing was shaking in fear. “They’re gone, it’s safe now.” The filly slowly opened her eyes, only to scream when she saw me.

“Get away from me you… you… THING!” Her horn ignited.

“I don’t think you’re in any position to demand me, Filly, didn’t your parents tell you the Everfree Forest is dangerous?” I asked her, I could see the annoyance in her eyes.

“Well.. Yes, they did...” She said with a pout, I shook my head at her.

“Yet you went here regardless..” I said, she gets up with a small leap to her hoofs.

“Because I needed something magical to report for my school which is due tomorrow!” She said with a glare.

“Even if you did find it, you wouldn’t be alive if I hadn’t followed you, Filly.” I said back to her, I didn’t like this unicorn’s attitude.

“Followed me? But I didn’t even see or hear you.. Come to think of it, how did you disguise yourself as a stone with a face?” She asked with curiosity but still angry look on her face.

“First of all, tell me exactly how you know.” I said, crossing my arms in slight annoyance.

“I read it in a book about a stone with a face, anyone seeing would be guided out of the forest if they’re ever lost.” She said, I nodded my head in understanding. Honestly, I didn’t guide most of the ponies who came here out but in truth I was only spying on them to make sure they’d go back. She tilted her head at me. “Are you some sort of spirit?”

“Not exactly, I’m more of a nobody who lives alone in the forest.” I said as I kneeled down to her level. “Now, I'm going to take you home."

“Not without that mask...” Moon dancer said with wide begging eyes.

I shook my head and went to pick her up, she of course protested and whined about it as I made my way through the forest, I made a mental note to check my injuries real quick once i'm done with this task.

Author's Notes:

Author’s Note: Holy… Only one chapter and my inbox was flooded with people putting this on favorite/tracking. As for my Displaced having the masks, yes he does, however has not found a time and a place to use them, he's been too focused on trying to get home. As mentioned before, your comments can effect the story a little bit.
Azure: Sorry about that, I had written this chapter, but I will try to include some sort of Displaced VS. Bear scene in the next or after the next.
