Moonbeam didn't know how long she was out for, but there was warmth on her left shoulder from the sunlight through the trees. Since she wasn't facing the sun, she knew that she faced either north or south and her left or right was east or west. She was also glad daybreak was nearly over, and then hopefully some of her tribe mates would come looking for her. Her wounds pained her and she wanted to cry out in pain, but alas she was too weak.
"Please great lunar goddess spare me. spare me please, I don't want to die here." Moonbeam wept. Why didn't the great lunar goddess just spare her this pain? Her eyes felt heavy. The only thing keeping her alive right now was the hope of being found.
<In Cantorlot>
"Philomeana." Celestia called.
Philomeana chirped on her perch in the study.
"There you are. I was getting worried." Celestia replied.
Philomeana squawked and rolled her eyes.
"Yes, I know your over ten millenniums old."
Philomeana squawked and tipped her head towards the window.
"All right you can go but be back by midnight?" Celestia asked while opening the window.
Philomeana flew out the window, southeast towards the Ever Free Forest. She heard a small cry of pain, then looked down and saw a mare trapped below in the thorny thikit. Philomeana flew down to the trapped mare. Celestia had put up the thorny branches a long time ago to keep out intruders and to keep in wild creatures. The unfortunate mare was snared completely, but Philomeana fortunately was there.
*Moonbeam's P.O.V*
Moonbeam glanced up to see a small bird that looked like it was made of fire.
"Who are you?" Moonbeam weakly asked.
Philomeana gently pressed her head against Moonbeam's forehead.
In moonbeam's mind Philomeana said:
Hello young one, my name is Philomeana. I am a phoenix. I live in Cantorlot with the princesses' in there castle. My master is princess Celestia. I ask of you to not struggle against the vines. I will return with help to get you free and teat your wounds.
"Okay." Moonbeam replied weakly.

Philameana flew off back to the castle.
Just hold on a little longer. Philameana prayed.
Before she knew it, Philameana was on the ledge of princess Celestia's balcony. Philameana flew in but she wasn't in her chambers.
Philameana feverishly searched most of the castle with no success. When she went to the dining hall, she thankfully found both princess Celestia and Luna there.
Philameana rarely spoke so when she did it was screechy and high pitched, but a mare's life was on the line so formalities could wait. "Celestia, Luna!" Philameana began.
"What is it Philameana?" the princesses said in unison.
"A mare, she's hurt in the enchanted thorn vines!" Philameana replied.
"I told you sister, those vines would someday get someponie killed!" Luna hissed at her sister while running through the halls to her balcony; completely forgetting she could teleport. She took off with Celestia and Philameana close behind towards the enchanted vine field.
"She is down here!" Philameana called. She descended down towards Moonbeam.
"That's odd" Celestia replied "Only creatures born in the Ever Free Forest wold get stuck."
Moonbeam looked up and saw Philameana and two ascended unicorns. Healer said there wonderful mother was once a unicorn before the queen and king ascended into the celestial beings the beautiful moon and the proud sun. Once a pony acceded there life span wold extend a hundred millennium fold and wold gain the strength of a earth pony, the speed and wings of a Pegasus, and the horn and magic capabilities of a unicorn. They where beautiful.
The ascended unicorns landed by her side.
The white ascended unicorn made a sort or magic blade she cut the thorny vines carefully from the trees they grew to. Then she cast a spell on the separated vines there was a small flash and the vines crumbled to ash. With the weight off her wounds they started to bleed. It hurt horribly. She let out a weak cry of pain.
"I'm sorry my little pony." Luna replied quickly raping bandages tightly around her wounds making the bleeding slow down.
"Celestia we have to get her..." she din't hear the rest then slowly everything faded to black.
<In Cantorlot castle infirmary>
Moonbeam woke to a steady beeping sound and there was a clear tube going into her forehoof. She looked up to see a pink coated unicorn mare with a hot pink mane & tail with lime green steaks in them, her eyes where also the same line green color. she wore a light green pair of spectacles, a green bracelet with a circle pendent, and a white collared shirt.
"Your awake!" The mare said "Hold on I'll get the doctor" The nurse shot out the room like her tail was on fire.
"I assure you nurse Hart trail that's most serenely unlikely." A male voice said
"But it's true doctor Stable-steal." Nurse hart trail replied
"If this is a joke" Doctor Stable-steal sentence was cut short
"It's not a joke! She opened her eyes and looked at me." Nurse Hart trail replied "Look!"
She brought a stallion in and gestured at moonbeam.
"I'm sorry I doubted you nurse Hart trail." doctor Stable-steal replied and walked over to Moonbeam's bedside "Those antibiotics work wonders" Dr. Stable-steal replied he levitated a clipboard and began writing things down."Vitals are looking better, hart-rate stronger, recovery is extraordinary! Stable-steal exclaimed "I must tell the princesses at once! Nurse bring her to a room for the night." He called while dashing out the door.
"I haven't seen him excited about a patent's recovery like that when Twilight Sparkle was in here after a spell casting accident. The nurse mumbled. She walked over to moonbeam and asked her a basic question "What's your name?"
"I am Moonbeam." She replied then she let out a tired yawn
"Well moonbeam I'm going to move you to a room for the night then you can get some sleep and in the morning I fill finish my questions. Sound good?" the nurse asked.
"yeah"
It was a short walk to her room but moonbeam din't see it because she was already asleep.
"Poor mare. she has a long recovery ahead of her" nurse heart trail whispered while clicking the bed into place. turning off the lights as she left.
