		Lost in Equestria
Without a map.

Ch.1 Painful Beginnings



"Oww... my aching head" I sat up and quickly grab my head with one hand while the other feels my face to find dry blood originating from my nose. where am..., "AAHHHHGGHHHH" My train of thought had been derailed by a sudden horrid pain. I fell back but I got stopped short as my over-sized backpack. Giving it a quick thought I wiped off the backpack and retrieved two heavy-duty aspirin and wash them down with water from my canteen, just as another mini-aneurysm struck. 

After some time had passed my headache had dissipated somewhat and I had regained the ability to have coherent thought. I tried to get my bearings, all around me was a dark overgrown forest I had been sitting in a bit of a small clearing as I looked up I could see the sun high in the sky. Sun high in the sky? That can't be right. It was only eight o' clock.checking my watch it had stopped at 8:42 AM. "Dang it! I meant to replace the batteries a two weeks ago!" I heard a rustle in the bushes then, I calmly got my solar-lantern, and shined it on the bushes to see two large blue-green eyes look back for a second before running off with loud rustling from the bush. "Now there are things in the bushes." I sighed tiredly. "Time to go then." I said with a bored demeanor. Then I stepped my backpack on looked at my compass and headed east lantern illuminating the way.

While hiking I had to ponder over how I got from a dessert in Kansas to a overgrown forest in a heartbeat. "I've got a feeling I’m not in Kansas anymore," I chuckled to myself, "I must be over the rainbow!" 

Then I saw a sight that put a real smile on my face a man-made road, bike tire marks had been carved into the sand that made up the road. That was a good sign. Looking a little ahead I saw a little hut of some sort with a smoking chimney. I decided to get a closer look at the hut before going down the path. I walked up to it to find some jars, some void, some containing stuff, and some with labels I could hardly read. Then I saw a note I know it's not nice to snoop, but I needed to know if it was a good idea to knock on the door or not.

The note read.

Dear, Zecora
The bees got in my house agian.
could you please make some more of that ointment,
that you are so good at making, for me?
Many thanks,
Twilight Sparkle

They got fun names here, I see. This raises some questions but none of my worries. From the note I could tell that he or she speaks English, and isn't a hermit. That was everything I needed to know. But I couldn't help my curiousness I had to look in the window. To my surprise I show a small zebra, with jewelry on its neck leg and ear, string a large pot in the middle of the room. “Okay, that's not strange." I told my self sarcastically. It must have heard me. Because it looked at the window the wall mostly covered me but I ran down the path just in case. I had gotten 20 yards down the path before I realized I was running from a mini-horse. I felt dumb, I felt even worse when I dived into the tall grass when I heard the door open. I looked back to see the zebra at the open door. I sat and studied it.

It looked left then right looking for me, "I know someone was watching me. Could you come out, for courtesy?" The zebra said in a calm Tribal accent. My jaw dropped. She mumbled something to herself and entered the hut. Leaving me to stare with my mouth wide open.
