The Assistant: Forest Disturbance

(Not Proofread)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“So you say this forest is unnatural to the ways you live?”
Twilight nodded as she continued her reading. We were sitting on the balcony of the library. I was almost ready to head into the forest.
“Is there anything I should watch out for?”
Twilight lifted her head from her book to face me.
“Well, there are manticores, hydras, cockatrices, timberwolves, and many other sorts of creatures.”
“Will any of them attack me?”
“They haven't seen a human before, so maybe.”
She turned her attention back to her book.
“I hope I don't have to fight any off. I think it is time to go and explore the forest.”
“Well don't hurt to many of the animals. That might make Fluttershy upset. Oh! And look out for Zecora. She hasn't met you yet.”
“Zecora?”
She turns her attention back to me.
“She is a zebra. She is good at making many elixirs and having cures for most things! She might be shocked by your sudden appearance though.”
“Yeah, maybe.”
Twilight went back to her book. I turned my attention over the balcony rail towards the forest. It looked very meek and dark from the entrance. The trees seemed to stand side by side and grew in many contorted angles outward.
“Time to go. See you in a little bit Twilight.”
“See you later Assistant!”
With that, I transported to the forest entrance.

The forest look more decrepit up close. There is a dirt path that lead into the forest from the town. It looked dark, even though the sun was shinning bright overhead. I begin my trek through the Everfree Forest.

The forest looked less threatening then what Twilight said. The animals I saw looked like they were doing fine living in the forest. A few squirrels came across my walk. Some stopped and watched me as I pass them, and the others simply kept on their scurrying. The zebra Zecora wasn't to deep into the forest. She was more than hospitable to me when I seen her. She mentioned she has already heard of me around town. She said she will come to me if she needs any help with anything.

I saw a large lion like creature with a scorpions tail and large wings. It seemed to be just lying down. I decided I should not be visible as to not attract attention from the creatures in this forest. I quietly become camouflaged with the surrounding area.

The forest seemed to become more brighter and open the farther I got into it. The trees started to look less dank and more like the regular trees I saw in Ponyville. The grass became more green and the monsters I saw seemed to decrees. It looked absolutely beautiful.
“Why would they be afraid of this forest?”
Just then, I feel a large impulse of energy far off.
“Huh?”
I look towards the direction. A large blue energy spread over some far off trees. The energy felt extremely powerful. It was almost pin point to the energy I use to dimension jump.
“What is this now?”
I quickly begin to run towards the energy source.
