As the alicorn sends image after image through my head of foals, I stop her on one. A pair of twin boys. Pale yellow fur is contrasted by their red and white, shaggy manes. "That one," I say, thinking about the larger of the two. "Before I go, what's your name?" I add as an after thought. She is cute after all.

"Staras," she answers, smiling. I can't tell, but I think she's blushing. As her horn lights up, her white magic surrounds me. I feel a tingle throughout my body and instinctively close my eyes. When I open them, two ponies are staring down at me. One, a light yellow mare with a red mane, and the other a slightly darker yellow stallion with a white mane. My new parents. 





7 years later

I laugh as I run after Flim. "Get back here!" I shout, my skinny legs moving as fast as I could make them. 

"Never!" my 'brother' shouts back.





another 5 years

"And stay out!" the old mare shouts, shaking a hoof at me.

I cringe. I hadn't meant to break the vase, she wanted me to clean it! My hooves got too slippery and it fell!





present time

As I sleep, I thrash. Staras enters my dreams, a sad look on her face. "Last, you musn't get too attached to your current body. In five years, you will have to leave it, and the pony you are inside will die. You will then have to find a new body,"  comes the harrowing news.

"But-but I haven't found her yet!" I shout, surprised and afraid.

"I know. Just give it time. In your last five years, I suggest traveling the living world with a cover story to search for her," Staras orders.

I nod, sadly giving in.





5 years passed

"Flim," I groan. "I'm sorry. I-I can't stay,"

"No, no you can't die!" Flim shouts, tears pouring down his face.

"Goodbye," I whisper, my head falling to the side.
