//------------------------------// // Chapter 1- Awakening // Story: Wandering // by SnowTIpard //------------------------------// A quiet breeze blew through the Everfree, rattling the leaves of every plant. Wandering Wind opened her eyes slowly, one at a time, looking around. She felt different somehow, as if she wasnt the same pony anymore "Where am I"? She whispered to the breeze as she slowly turned around to look at her cutie mark "Yeah im the same pony" she whispered and slowly stood up looking around a bit before she felt a jabbing pain in her forehead. She groaned falling back down "Wha...What was that?" She tried to think and relised all she could remember was her name, age, why she got her cutiemark, and that she was Twilight Sparkles apprentice. "I have no memory... Weird" She said standing back up "What in the name of equestria is goi-" She cut herself off as she looked up startled "AAAAH!!!" She screamed jumping back for atop of her head sat a tall spiraling motion creating a sharp point at the top. A horn. "Okay, am i dreaming?!" She said looking around "No you are not young one" A voice said from the trees. Wandering Wind turned around hearing a voice that she thought she recognized "Wha- Whos there?!" She said slowly turning in a circle watching the trees around the clearing. The voice matched with the wind created quite the eery setting. "Its me do you not recognize my voice?" the voice said again "Kind of but... I dont know who the voice belongs to can you just, come out?" She said still glancing around "I have, Im behind you" The voice said with a bit of a giggle. Wandering Wind turned around and gasped for there before her, stood Princess Twilight Sparkle "Your Mistress!! Whats happening?!" She said forgetting to bow "Do you not remember yesterday? I transformed you into an alicorn but you disappeared in the process, and now that i have found you, you may take up your duties as a princess" Twilight Sparkle said smiling warmly "Oh, and you dont have to call me "Mistress". Just call me Twilight" Wandering Wind looked at Twilight ears down "But..I..I dont want to be a princess" She said looking to the ground shyly "But Wandering Wind, Your an alicorn, its in your blood now. Take up your duties and i ensure you, you will learn to enjoy it" Twilight Sparkle said with a bit of concern in her eyes "No but I..." Wandering stepped black, stretching her wings. She slowly flapped and and hovered above the ground for a moment, locking eyes with the purple princess before she turned around and bolted through the sky. She turned her head around and heard the voice of Twilight Sparkle calling out sternly "Wandering Wind, I dont want to play this game". Wandering Wind kept on flying What game? she thought flying through the sky, when suddenly three royal guard flew up and surrounded her, ropes in their mouth "That game" She whispered to herself as she looked for a way of escape. She jolted her body downward and let gravity pull her down when suddenly, she felt something wrap around her leg and she stopped falling "Wha-?!" She looked up at a rope tied around her leg that one of the guards was holding "Get off of me!" She screamed flapping her wings violently as the guard lowered to the ground as Twilight Sparkle used her magic to tie the rope around a tree "Noo!" Wandering Wind Screamed as the other guards flew down and tied her legs in rope which were also tied to trees. The princess walked up to Wandering Wind and sighed "Im sorry, I didnt want to end up doing it this way" She said closing her eyes. Wandering Wind watched her horn glow just before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell down unconscious .
