Your first words… heh, not even 5 minutes being alive and already you spoke proper Equestrian. It’s strange how you never spoke more after that though. If you did, or if Queen Chrysalis heard you the first time, she might have been impressed, because you were the first out of all of your siblings to speak that language.
Now that you think about it, your other siblings never spoken once at all. Aside from the snarling and hissing, not once in your life have you heard any of your other siblings speak Equestrian. Why are you realizing this now though? Why didn’t you find this weird before? Is it because changelings can’t speak Equestrian? But if that’s so, then how do you know Equestrian the moment you were born?
I don’t know about you, but I’m still impressed so far as to how you haven’t even face-planted to the ground ye-
…
N-never mind…
And there comes the return of that irritating pain again. And then everything went dark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You slowly trot forwards in this pink meadow. You don’t know why, but you just want to continue trotting forward.
Slowly appearing in your vision was a pony. A beautiful pony. You would recognize her shade of lavender anywhere. She is sitting down, facing away from you, staring at the white sky above.
You continue to trot forwards until her ear twitched, and she turned her head to look at you. You feel a warm sensation inside you as you stare into her sparkling eyes.
She stands up, and trots over to you, smiling all the way. You feel your heart beating as fast as it can. You can’t help but lean in closer to her.
She does so as well, as she slowly closes her eyes. Your face is so close to hers now. You slowly close your eyes, and lean in closer.
Almost there. You feel her warm breathe lingering near your lips. So close. Just millimeters away from contact.
And then…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You hit your head onto a cold metal bar.
You blink for a moment, trying to process what happened.
‘…What the… but… the pony… and the… WHAT?!’
You shake your head vigorously, so confused at what happening right now. What was that just a moment ago? You were in a meadow somewhere, with another pony. You were… asleep though… so how could you be in a meadow? And that one pony... Who is she? You remember her from before, when in Canterlot... but why was she with you in the meadow? What were you about to do with her? If you were asleep, then you wouldn't have been somewhere else other than here. Wait... where are you?
"Looks like the changeling is awake." You hear someone say.
"Let's hurry and get it to Canterlot. The princess should know what to do with all these things." Another voice replied.
You look around to see that you were inside a cage. It was on a wheel-cart, being pulled by two ponies. You know these kind of ponies. They were both white, and their wings were tucked on their sides. They both wore the golden armor and helmet, that symbolize that they are in the Canterlot Royal Guards. You listen to the conversation they appear to be having.
"So why do you think Princess Celestia wants us to capture all these changelings and bring them back to Canterlot?"
"She is probably going to get rid of them. If any changeling is left alive, they might come back stronger than ever, ready for another take-over. We need to get rid as much as we can in case they reproduce or something."
'Well that's a stupid thought. Changelings can't reproduce or lay eggs like Mother can, since we were born with simple pony genetics and anatomy.' You thought to yourself. Weird... you're talking to yourself in your head. You never did that before.
"Do you think the changeling can understand us?"
"Of course not. It isn't smart enough to understand us. Remember what they said? Since a changeling isn't sentient, it can't communicate. The only thing it knows what to do is eat, sleep, and follow it's leaders commands."
"Well at least we have something in common." You said.
The two guards stop in their tracks as you finish your sentence. They both turn their heads back and stared at you with mouths agape.
After what felt like minutes of silence, one of them spoke. "It... it spoke!"
"Nooo, I just spoke out random words that somehow coincidentally formed together as a sentence." You said deadpanned.
Where did that come from? You knew that form of speaking... it was sarcasm. You remember a pony using it on someone else a few years ago. How come you know how to do it though? When did you know? Why are you speaking to them anyway?
"We need to bring this to the princess. NOW!" They continue pulling your cage forward. But noticeably faster now.
Well this can't be good. I'm pretty sure 'Dying' is not a very good idea in your book. You frantically look around, trying to find a way of escaping before you end up into burnt ash. You quickly kept ramming into the cage bars, while using your magic to try to break the bar easier. Fortunately for you, you were able to get it to break, thus opening the hole to your escape.
You jump out and quickly flew away, but the guards took notice however as they stopped, and flew after you. Ahead of you was a forest, with plenty of trees and branches around. You flew in as fast as you can, dodging each tree and branch.
It was a good thing the guards were stupid enough to forget to detach themselves from the wheel-cart, as they had a hard time flying and dodging to catch up.
Ahead of you was a long branch sticking out, and you had an idea to use it to your advantage. Looking behind, you see the two guards still following you. Oh, you hope this works.
Flying directly to the branch, you grab it with your mouth and started bending it, waiting only for a second to let go when the time was right. As the two guard approached close enough, you let go of the branch, and it swung both of the guards and the wheel-cart. The impact was so strong, it flung them out into the sky. As they were both screaming while getting farther and farther away. You swear you almost saw a twinkle in the part of the sky.
Safe now from the guards, you sat on your haunches and took a lot of heavy breathes. You can't believe that actually worked...
Deciding that maybe more guards might come back, you stand up and walk towards the opposite direction of Canterlot.
You remember back to that one conversation they had, while you were in the cage.
"Do you think the changeling can understand us?"
"Of course not. It isn't smart enough to understand us. Remember what they said? Since a changeling isn't sentient, it can't communicate. The only thing it knows what to do is eat, sleep, and follow it's leaders commands."
"Then why am I so different?" You asked yourself.
As you walk along path, you had no idea what was going to happen to you next. But you hope you will be prepared for it. Oh you hope you are...
