  1. >You have been hanging on the outskirts of this equine town for a month now, making your home in a cave within the forest.
  2. >None of the ponies ever see you up close, but they catch glimpses.
  3. >And as word spreads of you, it gets warped into rumors and speculation.
  4. >They believe you to be a monster, one who will strike if given the chance.
  5. >Let them believe what they want, you care not.
  6. >Makes it easier to sneak food, as they wont try to seek you out for punishment should they spot you.
  7. >You hear something outside.
  8. >You glimpse out, and in horror you try to flee.
  9. >A mob of ponies, carrying torches and various makeshift weapondry has come to vanquish the 'creature'.
  10. >All of them are shouting profanities at you as they give chase.
  11. >You run and run, not stopping to look back.
  12. >It's hopeless you realize, they have the advantage of speed.
  13. >You change your course, knowing the end is near for you.
  14. >You've long accepted death since comming here, it's much more hostile than home in this forest.
  15. >And you dared not to enter the town during day for fear of torture.
  16. >Why you held on to life this long, you don't know.
  17. >The mob closes in behind you, wanting to make you suffer.
  18. >You don't blame them, your kind would have done the same.
  19. >You reach your destination, and leap off the cliff face into the raging waters below.
  20. >Perhaps you will drown.
  21. >Maybe you will die in the rapids.
  22. >Quite possibly you will die from the force of hitting the surface.
  23. >But maybe, just maybe, your story has yet to end.
  24.  
  25. >Slowly, you wake.
  26. >You appear to be on the bed of a river, lying on moist sand.
  27. >You don't know how you got there, but you do know your head hurts like a bitch.
  28. >First things first, get dry.
  29. >That's what you're suppose to do... right?
  30. >You strip off your wet clothing, and start grabbing wood for a fire.
  31. >Putting it into a pile on the dry sand further away from the water, you grab your pants off the ground and search your pockets for a...
  32. >What is it you're suppose to use?
  33. >Damn it, you should know this.
  34. >You give up, instead resorting to rubbing sticks together.
  35. >That's how you do it, right?
  36. >You try for what feels like hours, until your hands are blistered to hell.
  37. >Damn it, why won't this work?
  38. >Are you doing it wrong?
  39. >You feel like you should know this...
  40. >You glance at the sun.
  41. >It will soon set.
  42. >You grab your clothing off the ground and climb into a tree.
  43. >Forest floors are suppose to be dangerous at night, right?
  44. >You nestle yourself between two branches, hopefully not where you can fall out in the middle of the night.
  45. >You close your eyes and wait for sleep.
  46. >Hopefully this mental fog will disappear in the morning.
  47. >Hopefully.
  48.  
  49. >You wake up, the foliage of the tree shading your eyes from the sun.
  50. >It's brighter here, you remember that.
  51. >But why it is you don't know.
  52. >You grab your clothing, and feel for moisture.
  53. >It's still very moist, so you sling it over your shoulder instead.
  54. >You put on your... boots? and hop down.
  55. >Feeling hunger begin to set in, you go off in any one direction searching for something to eat.
  56. >What do you eat anyways?
  57. >Bugs seems like a feasible answer, so you start searching for them.
  58. >Eventually, you find a bunch of little black and yellow ones, buzzing around a round thing hanging from a tree.
  59. >You see them going in and out of it, so you rip a chunk off.
  60. >Suddenly, the yellow and black bugs start attacking you.
  61. >You run, fleeing back to the river.
  62. >They follow you still so you hop in, not entirely knowing why.
  63. >It seems to work, and they leave.
  64. >You climb back to shore, examining your prize.
  65. >Looks kind of strange, but it smells nice.
  66. >You take a bite, and its very... sweet? is that the word?
  67. >But its food you guess, a bit chewy though.
  68. >Some of the black and yellow bugs are stuck to it, they taste bad.
  69. >You pluck them off, and continue eating.
  70.  
  71. >You almost finish the thing, when you vomit.
  72. >Must not be edible.
  73. >Even though it taste good.
  74. >You wipe the vomit from your lips, and get searching again.
  75. >You make your way back through the forest, and come across a tree with red circles hanging from it.
  76. >Apples.
  77. >You remember, they're called apples.
  78. >A few are hanging low enough to pick off.
  79. >You grab them, and sniff.
  80. >Doesn't smell like food, but why does your mouth water when you think of eating it.
  81. >You take a bite...
  82. >And its, what's the word, delicious?
  83. >You grab as many as you can carry, and start heading off.
  84. >You thought about using your pockets on your bottom clothing piece to carry them, but noticed you lost them when you dived in the river.
  85. >All you have left are your boots, and the apples.
  86. >Oh well, you don't even remember why you needed them.
  87. >Wait... You needed them?
  88.  
  89. >Continuing onward, you find the trees are getting farther apart.
  90. >This means the edge of the forest you think.
  91. >You aren't sure about much lately it seems.
  92. >At least you can be sure your name is...
  93. >Oh fuck's sake...
  94. >Wait, what is that?
  95. >Its a big... open area...
  96. >Does it have a name?
  97. >Across it is more apple trees, a lot of them.
  98. >You don't need apples, you still have some.
  99. >You make note of where it is though, hoping you don't forget it like the other stuff.
  100. >Kind of scares you, you don't even know what you don't know anymore.
  101. >You're getting pretty thirsty though, and decide to look for water.
  102. >Maybe you should have stayed with that river.
  103. >Looking around, you see a tree with holes in it, and a very small river with a weirdly shaped rock over it.
  104. >Actually, that rock would be good for crossing.
  105. >You decide to head over to it.
  106.  
  107. >As you near the stream, you see little thingies swiming in the water.
  108. >How do they breath under it?
  109. >Maybe they're just holding their breaths.
  110. >You bend down, and start to drink.
  111. >You drink as much as you can in one go, only tearing yourself away to breath.
  112. >"Eep!"
  113. >What was that?
  114. >You look up to see a yellow...
  115. >Is that a bird?
  116. >She's looking at you, just... staring.
  117. >And you are afraid for some reason.
  118. >Very afraid.
  119. >"Now looks here! You've been very bad Mr. Monster!"
  120. >"Going around, trying to steal from ponies and eat them!"
  121. >"What do you have to say for yourself Mr.?!"
  122. >You try to answer, opening your mouth to speak.
  123. >But instead begin to cry, too confused at your own situation and unnaturally afraid of her stare.
  124. "I-i, didn't t-try to eat any ponies!"
  125. >"O-oh my... umm..."
  126.  
  127. >"W-what do you mean you never tried to eat ponies!"
  128. >"I-i didn't!"
  129. >You remember that you've never eaten anything called a 'pony', it seems to be a sure thing.
  130. >"Well, you still stole from ponies!"
  131. >You don't remember whether you did that or not.
  132. "I-i didn't do that e-either! I think..."
  133. >"Well... u-um, what do you mean?"
  134. >You feel more at ease now, that terrifying gaze left her, you think it's a her, face.
  135. "I... I don't remember much..."
  136. >A look of worry shoots across her face now, and genuine... concern?
  137. >You think that's the word.
  138. >Why would this thing be concerned about you? She just through you ate ponies, whatever those are.
  139. >"W-well... umm..."
  140. >What's going on with her, she acted like she was about to cut your head off one moment, now she's acting like she wants to flee.
  141. >"C-come inside... I guess... you know... if that's alright with -squeak-."
  142.  
  143. >You follow her inside the house, watching to make sure she doesn't try anything.
  144. >It's probably a trap or something, she's probably some sort of predator you can't remember.
  145. >Its a nice little lair of death though, there are cute little animals of doom running around, and some nice furniture of slaying.
  146. >"U-um... you sh-should probably -squeak-."
  147. "What was that?"
  148. >"You should... -squeak-"
  149. "I'm sorry, what?"
  150. >"-squeak-"
  151. >Damn it.
  152. >She seems to be motioning towards her ... that's a couch... right?
  153. >You take a seat.
  154. >The couch(?) breaks underneath you.
  155. >It is a trap!
  156. >You scream, and make to run out the door.
  157. >Your head smashes into the door ...frame?
  158. >You black out.
  159.  
  160. >You wake up some time later.
  161. >Wait, you wake up! that means your, what's the word, alive!
  162. >Maybe she wasn't going to eat you.
  163. >You try to get up, but a hoof holds you down.
  164. >"Oh you poor thing, you need to sit still so I can look at those head injuries."
  165. >Injuries?
  166. >That means multiple, right?
  167. >"How did you get this one on the side? You hit your head on the front."
  168. "I... don't know?"
  169. >"Well, um... what do you know?"
  170. "I woke up on the river... bank? That's the side of a river, right?"
  171. >"Mhmm."
  172. "I woke up on the river bank, lost my clothing, and came here after being attacked by little black and yellow bugs."
  173. >"I'm going to need more information than that."
  174. "I-i don't have any more."
  175.  
  176. >"What do you mean? What happened before that."
  177. "I-I don't know?"
  178. >"Oh you poor critter!"
  179. >Is that your name, critter?
  180. >Probably not.
  181. >She wraps her legs around you and pulls you into a...
  182. >You can't remember that word.
  183. >"You must have amnesia! Maybe Twilight would know a spell to fix it!"
  184. "Who is she?"
  185. >"One of my friends who lives in Ponyville."
  186. >Ville... that means a town right?
  187. "NO!... I mean, no, please 'dont..."
  188. >You don't know why, but something scares you about the town.
  189. >"I'm sure she can help you though."
  190. "Just, please... no..."
  191.  
  192. >She sighs, and mutters something about 'Iron will.'
  193. >"Look, I'm SURE she can help, I'm going to go get her."
  194. "But-"
  195. >"No buts mister, I'm going!"
  196. >She fly's out the window.
  197. >This is bad.
  198. >Really bad.
  199. >And you don't even know why.
  200. >You get up off the couch, and grab the table blanket thing.
  201. >You decide to use it to carry your apples instead of covering up, and leap out the window.
  202. >You run back off towards the forest, making sure not to be seen by the yellow and pink thing.
  203. >As you pass, the oddly large amount of animals make way for you, parting like the...
  204. >That one thing, with the book, and the old guy, and the red water.
  205. >Oh forget it.
  206. >Wait, you already have!
  207. >Fucking 'amnesia'.
  208.  
  209. >You re-enter the forest and run.
  210. >You don't know where you are going, but any place but the town.
  211. >Just not the town.
  212. >The ground is getting softer here, and you begin to have trouble walking.
  213. >Each step you take is more difficult than the last, and eventually you are unable to move.
  214. "H-Help!"
  215. >Nothing.
  216. "Somebody! Please help!"
  217. >This time, you hear a low growl.
  218. >That cant be good.
  219. >You look around for the source, and see...something...
  220. >It looks like a wooden sculpture of a dog, with glowing eyes.
  221. >It takes a step towards you, and you begin to freak out.
  222. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Someone please help me!!"
  223. >"You need not fear my friend, I will help put your trouble to an end!"
  224. >Fuck yes!
  225. >You look for whoever responded.
  226. >Some... hooded horse...
  227. >And it also has glowing eyes.
  228. >Your probably screwed.
