Me and "The Great and Powerful" Third Person walked up to the forest thats in every other fanfic, known as Everfree Forest.
Can't say I'm too excited about exploring this S.O.B. But me and Trixie REALLY could use somewhere to hide out from the Main Six...Five.


After walking for about a minute. I saw the shield around Ponyville start to disappear. It began to break off like shards of glass until it was gone completely. And I have to say, it looked really pretty disappearing the way it did. But as amazing as it was, it didn't stop us from being in the middle of the field between Ponyville and the Everfree forest.

After watching the shield break for a little bit, I told Trixie.
"Ok, we really need to pick up the pace!" I then preceded to start running to get to the forest faster. But sadly stupid ol' Me forgot I just got my leg injured not so long ago. Which caused me to trip and be in even MORE pain. I then got on to a sitting position and grabbed hold of my wound before saying. 

"You wouldn't happen to have medical supplies that could patch up my leg now, would you? I tried to say without sounding like I was in pain. 
"Umm... Trixie hates being the bearer of bad news but..."
I then take a deep sigh before saying. "Trixie... First off, im pretty sure you don't really care about 'being the bearer of bad news.' Ok? And second. What the heck DID you bring with you? You had a whole trailer that im pretty sure would be full of supplies! Why would you not take anything!?" I said almost like I was going to kill her.
But after saying that I quickly give a, "Sorry." 

"Do you really take Trixie for a fool, Carter the Rabbit?" Trixie said in response. "She DID take the trailer with... Its just on the other side of town..." Its at this I facepalm myself. I highy doubt we would have the time to go get it so that wouldn't help...


Its then not even a few seconds after that statement that we see a rainbow fly high in the sky from Ponyville.

"Carter."

I then turn to Trixie seeing her look at me saying. " Climb on Trixie's back. Trixie is sure that she can get us both in the forest quickly."

Its safe to say that I didn't hesitate on the offer, so I jumped on her back as she ran to the forest. Thankfully we immediately were able to get to the entry of the Everfree and get Rainbow off our tails... Do I have a tail?... I never took my pants off to look... Gah! I'm getting off track here.

After riding Trixie for a few more minutes, I was told by her to get off and keep a look for plants that could hopefully help us. I did a salute in response to this of course, which caused her to roll her eyes.

But I was starting to get a little antsy in the pantsy to let the stallions out of the stable, after all. I knew that me and Trixie would get attacked by some sort of monster, but with a big selection of monsters from a fantasy book. I was starting to get nervous with not knowing what to expect. 

At some point though me and Trixie find some blue flowers that looked somewhat familiar.

"Hey Trixie. Would these make good medicine?" I asked as I started to walk to them.
"Oh no. Do, try not to get close to the stuff. It could make something dreadful happen."
"Oh? And why is that? "Oh Great and Powerful" Trixie?" I said to poke fun at her.
"That plant is called "Poison Joke." It could make what ever you are good at, or what ever you take pride in, be reversed just by touching them!" She said getting annoyed.
"...So... Would it make you talk in first person... First pony?" I could see Trixies face start to get red with anger after I say this.
"Go ahead and keep trying your luck Rabbit. After all, Trixie is the one who is currently protecting you."
"Ok, ok, fine! I'll stop... Just trying to lighten the mood is all." Its then I take a deep and sigh in frustration before muttering to myself.



After a few minutes of exploring the area for plants, I hear the sound of a door closing.
Looking at all the Poison Joke again, I then think of something. 
'Isn't there a Poison Joke bed close to Zecora's?'
It would be helpful to see if she could help me out here with the wound on my leg. After all, I then could help Trixie more if we do find something that could kill us.

"Hey Trixie, I think I just heard something past the Poison Joke."
Trixie who was oblivious to the lie said. "Really? What kind of moster do you think it is?" She said as she got her magic ready.
"No... It not a kind of monster... I think it might be a pony." I said to try to calm her down.
"A kind of pony?" Trixie repeated while lowering her magic. "But Trixie is sure that they couldn't get this far so quickly!"
"I think it might be somepony else though." I say as I walk away from Trixie and start limping to where Zecora's hut might be.


Trixie started follow while saying stuff like. "This is stupid" and "how we could get caught" but I just ignored it all knowing that it could be fine.
My guess was correct though as Zecora's hut came into view.

After sneaking, (and by sneaking I mean limping) to a window to see if she was there. Trixie soon after came up next to me and said. "What are you doing? We don't even know if she is friendly or not!" She said trying to talk reason with me.
I then raise my invisible eyebrow to her saying. "I know living in a forest on your own is kinda wired and creepy, but she COULD be a nice pony."
"Yeah... But to Trixie, she looks like the type that would cook you AND Trixie in a stew."
"Just please... Do this for me... You know, the injured friend in need here."  I ended with an attempt at puppy eyes, I couldn't really tell whether they worked or not in all honesty.


After a few seconds of consideration, Trixie gave a sigh in defeat saying. "Well, like you said before... What could possibility go wrong? She ended with a halfhearted smile.
I obviously smile in return before telling her. "Heh, you were right when you said that "I was rubbing off on you.""
"Well, Trixie wouldn't lie now, would she?" I gotta say though, I didn't think she would be convinced so quickly.
"Oh and just so Trixie is clear. If anything is to go wrong, its your fault." 

Ok, well its better then nothing.



Me and Trixie both give ourselves a quick second before we open the door and walk into Zecora's hut. As we walk in we see a surprised and yet annoyed zebra looking at us before saying.
"Who go's there? Because I don't remember inviting a rabbit and a blue mare."
It's then Trixie says. "It is I, The Great and Powerful Trixie and her assistant Carter the Rabbit that are here, visting. And we need your help."
Zocora then looked at Trixie with a stern face saying. "You... You are the one who locked Ponyville in a jar. Do you not know where you are?" Zecora said with anger.
"Should Trixie dare even ask?" She said not really caring.

At this rate, I'm gonna have to butt in so we dont get kicked out of the place.


It's here I clear my throat before saying. "Uhh, Trixie? Do you REALLY not remember the zebra that helped Twilight when you had the Alicorn Amulet?"
Its then Trixie gives me a peculiar look before going wide eyed. She then looked at Zecora again saying. "Oh... Right, I. The Great and Powerful Trixie do remember a pony of the description... Or should Trixie say zebra?." She ended the sentence with a nervous smile.

Zecora however seems to have stopped paying attention to Trixie as she turns to me with a surprised expression saying.
"My, I never would have thought, that something like you could talk. Now please, be a dear and tell me why you are here." Zecora said completely ignoring Trixie.

I then give myself a brief pause to register what she said before saying.
"Well long story short... I have done some rash things that made the ponys mad, so me and my friend Trixie are here in the forest to hide from them." I say trying to leave details out so I can change the subject.
"Should I be-" 
"Carter hasn't done anything that should have real lasting impact on the ponys." Trixie said cutting her off. "
And yes Trixie did know what you where going to ask." Trixie was able to say continued completely full of herself, despite being nervous only a few seconds ago.
"Hmph, cutting me off from a rhyme, should be a crime." Zecora said not to happy with Trixie.


However while Trixie was talking, It was then I took notice of some of the potions she has on a high up shelf. The bottles had something written on them, but it was in a language I couldn't understand. I decided that I would use this to help change the subject.

I asked Zecora then. "What are those potions up there?" I said pointing right after.
"A few remedy's if you must know. But also some poisons, but just for show." She ended with some pride.
"Would it be ok if you would heal my leg? it seriously hurts, I beg!" 
"My mind tells me it is wrong, to help a criminal get along."
Upon hearing this, my ears drooped behind my head a little more then normal.


"But... My heart tells me that it is ok, to help a little friend that is in need of aid."

I was surprised at what she said here, and replyed saying. "You... Consider me a friend?" 

Zecora gave a quiet chuckle before saying. " Would you rather have me consider you a foe? Because I could make it so." Zecora finished with a half smile on her face. She then began to clear off a table that had potion supplies before saying. 
"Now you cute little furry guy, lets start so you can go and hide." You could say that I was starting to get creeped out, but I couldn't let this opportunity to get my leg fixed up pass by!

So I then got on the table and layed down so we could start. However, nerves were starting to get to me which led me to say. "This wont hurt... Right?"

"Seriously?" Trixie said unimpressed.

"Oh, you might want to make sure he doesn't go anywhere. or else this tonic might get everywhere."

"Oh Christ" I said preparing for the worst.

Its then both a cry of pain escaped my lips and tears leave my eyes from the potion hitting my leg.

Its then everything goes black and I lose consciousness...






"And thus... You return..." My 'saviour' said to me.

"So you said last time that causing chaos is a good thing... Why?"

"Well its to keep the guards off of me." Mr. Savior said nonchalantly. I however, chose not to respond to this answer.

"It will make us good partners. You just keep doing whatever your doing. And I will just keep saving you... Discreetly of coarse."

"... Are you Discord?" I say quite bluntly.

"No... Trust me, I WOULD like to be Discord. But that is not the case. And sadly I dont plan on telling you who I am... Yet." I was somewhat disappointed when I heard this. You would think that saying chaos would be a dead give away but... I guess I was wrong.

"Ok, you're starting to wake up so I guess we will have to talk next time."









I woke up with a headache and... Not at Zecora's place. I found this to be kinda weird but I didn't really question it because I was alone in a cave.
The first thing I did before getting up was to check my leg that was injured before. The potion was a success thankfully but that just made me ask another question... How long was I out?

I took a quick look around the cave I was in and found nothing really weird. The only thing worth saying is that it was nice, roomy, and had two piles of leafs that I would bet where being used for beds. After feeling like I got a good look at the area I left the cave to see where I was.

Upon exiting the cave, the first thing I saw was a amazing looking lake that was (only from what I could tell) a few yards away. That and a small clearing to the left from the entrance to the cave. 

But something was not right. My ears perked up and I could hear someone say.

"Don't worry Cover Art, Trixie can get us out of this situation." "Ahh watchout! I see Chockatrice, be careful Trixie!" "Ugh... Trixie can't do this for much longer now..."

When I heard the word "Chockatrice" I was already running. But I broke into a sprint upon hearing a really loud lion rowr in the distance. "Dangit Trixie, what did you get yourself into!?" I said as my breathing was starting to become quicker and more panicked.

Upon getting closer I heard from what I could tell, was a little filly yelling "TRIXIE HEEELP!"

I burst through some foliage just to see a small clearing with Trixie stuck under a fallen tree and a mantacore only a few steps away from having lunch.
But alternatively, I see a small filly I have never seen before off to the side with some tears in her eyes as she is looking down at a chockatrice thats turning her to stone! 

It felt like time had slowed down at this point... I had to make a choice between trying to save my partner and friend Trixie, from a manticore. Or try to save a little filly about a yard away from where Trixie is. From a chockatrice that was already halfway done turning her to stone. There was no doubt in my mind that Trixie was trying to protect her earlier.



Well... It looks like I'm not gonna be able to save both.
