//------------------------------// // I Remember Now // Story: Saving Equestria // by HazardFacts //------------------------------// Chapter 6: He woke me up; the blue haired leader. He placed his arm on my not broken arm and lightly shook me awake. It was kinda nice. I noticed that my arm felt more stiff than limp and looked down at it. My arm was in a sling cast. I was okay with it, but it was then that I knew for sure that it was broken just like I had thought it was. I tried to get up but sort of failed to, falling down halfway up. I tried again and had the same result. I just couldn’t do anything. I felt the ball surround me and lift me up. It placed me on his back as he exited the chariot. I just let myself fall forward and rest on his neck. Then I thought of how much these creatures looked like horses. At the same time I realized that they were horses. I mean, they had obvious differences from normal horses: Their legs were a bit wider but seemed fully functional and really not fat at all, all of and their fur coats were a bit thicker than normal horses, and their faces seemed to have a bit of a human touch. Other than that they were horses. I remembered thinking about how they resembled unicorns. Now I realized that they were unicorns, and all that stuff they did to me must have been magic. And the white ones, this guy excluded, must have been pegasi. I didn’t really look at where we were but I could tell that it was some kind of high-class city. There were more horses too; unicorns, pegasi, and regular ones without either. Here’s the thing, they were all different colors. All colors. Colors of the rainbow and anything else. Different shades and all. “Oh look,” I said, “candy colored horses.” That just set off something in my mind, which almost gave away where I was. I remember reading something before that someone wrote. I think it was ‘I can’t believe that all of this was started by a bunch of talking, candy colored horses.’ We were brought to a pair of huge, gracefully and beautifully designed doors. They opened as soon as he stepped close enough to them and we were brought to and even bigger and long hallway with another set of the doors at the end. There were stained glass windows and paintings decorating the walls. One of the stained glass images was of six different colored diamond shapes surrounding a box. The next image was of six different colored horses going up against some kind of dragon. I was really out of it, so I couldn’t completely piece it, or much of anything, together at the moment. Then another image; this one involved the same horses, a giant black horse with fangs, holes in its legs and both wings and a twisted horn, and a horde of creatures that looked like it but smaller and without horns. There was another horse, it was pink and had a horn and wings just like the black one, but this one was just a bit smaller than the other. Then I saw what looked like the unicorn that was carrying me now. Above the pink one and him was a heart. “Is that you?” I asked, half out of it. He chuckled before replying “Yeah, that’s me, along with some of the best ponies I’ve ever known.” “Ponies?” I asked, a bit in disbelief. He just chuckled and didn’t say anything. And as I said before, I was too out of it to care. I saw one last picture, a portrait this time. This one was of a purple unicorn, with two highlights in her dark purple hair, one a lighter shade of purple, one hot pink. “Who’s that?” I asked. He stopped and looked at it for a good minute before answering. “That would be my sister, the smartest mare in all of Equestria.” Yeah, I should have been able to tell where I was by now. I know. I’m going to beat myself up mentally forever for not piecing it together from everything I saw and heard. In reality I knew everything about this place but I was just too mentally unstable at the time to piece anything together. As the doors opened I saw the tallest one of them yet. She was huge; her legs were long, she had both a horn and wings just like the horses in the stained in the glass. Her hair was multicolored with bright colors that really stood out, it was wavy as if there was a wind in the room and it sparkled. She wore golden garments and a necklace with a purple gem in its center. I automatically thought that she was a queen. Her eyes were bright and purple. Her horn longer than any of the unicorns I’d seen so far. Her wings the same compared all the pegasi too. A golden tiara sat right behind her horn with small purple gems in it as well. I shot up so fast that I fell off of the horse that was carrying me, thankfully on my left side. I picked myself up quickly and every clue that had been present all day rushed to my mind and formed their puzzle so quickly that it actually hurt my head. “Princess Celestia.”
