"okay you have two wings and a worn right? you are a pegacorn or a winged unicorn. but they are often get confused with alicorns which are better looking, mostly taller and have plot based strength and ability power"
-Viper Pit
A winged unicorn, huh? Okay.
"Okay, so, Tom, you are apparently what's called an Alicorn. They have traits of all three ponies, which means you get some kind of vaguely defined flora competencies, and also maybe super strength, the ability to fly, the ability to manipulate clouds and the weather, and access to magic. The full package. If there isn't lightning, you can try flying up above the clouds and just sleep there. They are supposedly soft. If there IS lightning, stay grounded. It won't kill you, but it will suck and you may fall to your death. Also, magic is based on emotions, and I don't have any other specifics. I'll try to do some research for you in a little bit."
-Nyronus
"The answer to your riddle you gave the other guy is an echo.
Hello again.
Thank you for the check. Others have said this but what you are is an alicorn.
We have some knowledge of the area you are in though its not specific. Thats not important now though.
I'd advice you to not try to fly as the task is likely beyond you now. However, I would advice you to attempt to hover. Those of your new species with wings seem to have an ability to hover while moving said wings very slowly. Like impossibly slowly.
Do not let yourself get distracted by this for long however as there is a second task we need you to do.
Try to create a magical blast from your horn good enough to blow apart a pile of wood. There are creatures you may have to fight out there.
Then you are going to want to find a place to look from. Try to get to high ground or find a river. If you find high ground then get up on it and look over the trees. If you find a river then follow it to civilization.
Remember, civilizations are on rivers. I suspect the forest you are in has a river and in fact it runs through a town of ponies. The species you are now.
Good luck my friend."
-Mr Stargazer
Oh, okay, it's an alicorn, then.
"Actually, 'echo' isn't the right answer. Sorry, I came up with that riddle on the fly, maybe it needs some fine-tuning. Pretty close guess, though."
Tom addressed nothing in particular, but hoped his message would get across anyway, and sighed.
"Guess I'll follow that creek I found as soon as the rain lets up."
To pass the time, Tom tried a few blasts of magic from his horn. They were too weak to do more than knock a little bark off of a tree.
Damnit...
As the storm began to subside, Tom heard another familiar voice.
"Huh. Haven't heard that one. Was thinking time, or maybe death, but that's probably not it.
So, Tom, once the storm's over, you'll want to start looking around. There's a friend nearby, but the map cannot be trusted.
Riddle: I am always here, but you cannot see me. I try to take the shortest path, no matter the consequences. Earth is my enemy."
-Eevee
"Not time or death, though interesting guesses. As for yours, uhh... electricity?"
Tom shrugged and stepped out from his little lean-to.
Map cannot be trusted... wonder what the hell that means.
Pursuant to some of the otherworldly advice he had received, Tom gave flying a try.
It went poorly. He struggled to find purchase against the air with his wings, and the best he could manage was hovering if he beat his wings very, very rapidly. A few minutes of such exertion saw him land, panting.
If I'm a super-strong alicorn, why do I suck at everything?!
"AAAARGH! Fine, buck it, I'm going to follow that creek!"
"ok tom you forgot to climb a tree but oh well, make sure to find a food and water source."
-Zapper frost
"But I did climb a tree – you know what? Buck it. I don't want to sit around a forest talking to myself."
Tom set off as quickly as he could for the creek. About ten minutes later he realized he was going the wrong way, trekked back in the opposite direction, and found it.
Guess I don't have super-alicorn-directional-sense, either.
A half-hour of following the creek downstream later, Tom came across a quaint-looking orchard of apples.
Holy... good call, Stargazer! Hey, Zapper! I found a food source!
Tom rushed to the nearest apple tree, giving it a firm kick.
Sadly, no apples fell.
Dangit!
Oh, right.
Tom zapped an apple off of the tree, and took a bite...
