"Um, Twilight?"

"What is it Fluttershy?"

"Are you sure I can't go back home?"

"Look Fluttershy, I know you're scared, we all are."

"Not me!" The cyan pegasus proudly exclaimed while punching an imaginary target in midair. Twilight couldn't help but roll her eyes at the over confident pegasus.

"As I was saying, you know that Celestia sent me a letter telling all of us to investigate that newly opened crack of magic in the Everfree Forest. For all we know it could be Discord's doing or maybe even Chrysalis plotting her revenge." The timid pegasus's eyes only widened more in fear to the horrible possibility of their old foes seeking revenge for their humiliating defeats.

"You really think it could be one of them?" Seeing how her explanation only deepened her friends fear she could only let out an exasperated sigh.

"I'm sorry Fluttershy, but if it really is one of our old enemies, we have to stop them now so nopony will get hurt."

"And if it is one of them vermin, you have us behind your back sugercube." The honest earth ponies words calmed the scared pegasus and put them all in higher spirits.

"Oh and if it is Discord then their will be chocolate rain girls! Chocolate rain!" The over ecstatic pony chimed.

"That would horrible darling! Last time that happened it took weeks to get all that chocolate off my coat."

"Stop your whining Rarity. All the apples back on the farm still taste like chocolate!"

"Oh that's not whining, This is whining!"

Fwoosh

"Eep!" was all that escaped Fluttershy's mouth before diving into a bush.

"Fluttershy get out of there!"

"But what was that sound Twilight?"

"I don't know but it came from where the disturbance of magic is supposed to be, come on girls!"

Crack

AAUGH!

The very ground shook under the groups hooves as they heard the thunderous sound and the pained scream of something.

"Eep!"

"What the hay was that?"

"I don't know Applejack, but whatever it was, it sounds like something is hurt."

"Then come on! We have to help", Rainbow Dash said before promptly leaving the group behind to find the source of the pained screams. With a new task at hand, the ponies trotted to the disturbance, unaware of the strange new creature they were to find.

-----------------------------------------------

"Have you found anything yet Pinkie?" Twilight asked in a worried tone.

"Nope! Nothing so far Twi!" The hyper pony retorted.

"Well keep looking."

"Okey Dokey Lokey!" Pinkie said before going back to happily looking for clues

"AAAHHHH!!"

"Was that Rarity?" Rainbow questioned.

"I think so, come on we have to find her!", Twilight said before setting off to where they last seen their friend. "Rarity,  what's the matter?"

"I-I found a dead jaguar!"

Hearing that an animal was in danger or possibly dead the yellow pegasus shed her fear and replaced it with concern.

"Rarity are you sure it was dead?", Fluttershy asked the startled unicorn.

"I don't know! All I saw was that it was drooling blood and one of its bones was sticking out of its body!"

That was all Fluttershy needed to hear before leaving the group behind to search for the wounded animal.

"What are we waiting for? We have to help too!" Applejack screamed to the fazed ponies.

"Your right, Lets go!", Rainbow Dash said as they struggled the keep up with the butterscotch blur.

-----------------------------------

Its no wonder that Rarity thought the poor creature was dead. True to her word the feline was covered in blood coming from its mouth and open wounds. What amazed them however was the creatures appearance. Though its fur was stained with blood, it was such a beautiful midnight black that seemed to hypnotize you if you stared to long at it. Though it did heavily resemble a jaguar, its body structure seemed to suit it to walk on its hind legs opposed to all four. Last however were the creatures eyes, which were slit and a deep ice blue.

Noticing that the creature was feline in origin, the pink pony couldn't help herself but cradle and pet it.

"Aww, your just a hurt little kitten. Its okay we're here to help."

"PINKIE, DON'T TOUCH IT!" Twilight yelled. However Pinkie was oblivious to her and continued to pet the wounded creature.

"I shall call you Fluffy, and you will be my Fluffy."

"Um, Pinkie could you please get away from Fluffy so Twilight can carry it to my cottage with her magic?"

The timid pegasus's words surprised the others who only stared at her in astonishment.

"What? This poor thing is hurt badly and I don't think we can get him to the hospital soon enough, if that's alright with you."

"Fluttershy is right, we have to help whatever... this is, and fast." With that twilight enveloped the body in her purple aura and carried the broken thing back to Fluttershy's cottage."

'Huh? What is this light, has J'lae crossed to the other side? Such a shame, never got to try that new trick Brynjolf told me. J'lae thought he was daft when he said all that was needed was to put a bucket over the traders head and take whatever J'lae could carry. Wait, this is not the afterlife calling for me.... It's candle light! J'lae is back in Skyrim! But where?'

As you surveyed your surroundings, you saw that you were in a bed. Not only any bed though, but a one fit for a High king. But that was not all you saw, there were also tables and a wardrobe decorating the room, whose walls seemed to be made entirely of wood. Almost as if it were carved from the inside of a tree.

'What? No creature lives in a tree besides the.... Oh no. The Thalmor...'

The very name of those damned high elves left a sour taste in your mouth.

' It seems they have finally caught me and are taking me prisoner. Divines, why did J'lae have to steal all there armor and make them walk naked?'

Before you could scold yourself for such a crime, you noticed a blur of pink in your peripheral vision. Trying to sit up, a pain shot into your body that only forced you back down. With a closer look, you noticed your torso and right leg were heavily bandaged. That's when the memory of your not so graceful landing reminded you that this place is not Skyrim.

Out of nowhere a pink pony wearing a huge grin appeared mere inches from your face, smelling heavily of sweets.

"Hello mister Fluffy! My name is Pinkie Pie and this is your Glad you're still alive party!"

'......Fluffy?'
