"Wait who got lost and where?" Twilight asked with concern in her voice thinking that either Applebloom or Sweetiebell have gotten lost while they were playing. Scootaloo still struggling a bit to recover said, "His....a new friend of mine anyways I was out in the EverFr......", Twilight cut her off right their when she heard the word ever in that sentence and yelled at her for being in the ever free forest saying," What the hay were doing in the EverFree forest don't you know how dangerous it is for a little filly like you!!, even for your friend what were you thinking!".
Scootaloo had already prepared for twilight to yell at her the minute she saw her house. She knew being in the EverFree was dangerous, and risky, but she knew for sure that they weren't that deep in the forest, so there really wasn't any danger for them right?
But she couldn't shake the thought of him being out in the EverFree forest all by himself something could happen to him what if he runs into a timberwolf or something! She couldn't bear the thought of him getting hurt even with all that armor on there could be something that in that forest that can cut through, so with all the strength she can muster from within herself she open her mouth and said,"Yes I know twilight it's dangerous for me to be there and you can yell at me all you want, but my friend is somewhere in the woods by himself and I don't want anything to happen to him, so please can you help me find him?!"
Twilight was about to say something when she stopped and heard what Scootaloo said and saw in her eyes that she meant it. She dropped all the anger she had and decided it would be best to go out and try to look for scoots friend. His parents must be worried sick and with him still being lost out in the woods by himself is very worrying. Theirs no telling what could happen and every second they stay here means the closer he is at getting hurt, she said, "Alright I understand scootlaoo your friend is in danger and we need to go help him." as she finished her sentence Scootaloo ran towards her and squeezed her right leg tight saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" twilight just looks down and smiles rubbing her head, she turns her head around says,"You're welcome, but first I need to know his name that way we can call out for him and find him easier." Scootaloo looks up at her and says, "Oh his name is Toby." Twilight gives a weird look and says, "Toby? That's an.....odd name?"
"It's a name I gave him, he wouldn't tell me his real name."
"Oh....well why not?"
Scootaloo just shrugs and says, "I don't know, I think he just doesn't feel like talking or..doesn't know how talk?"
"Oh...." Twilight spoke softly, "Do think he would respond if we call out his name?"
Scootaloo looks down and rubs the back of her head not sure of what to say, "Uumm....I think so? I really don't know twilight, but in the situation his in right now why wouldn't he.". She did make a point in the situations his in right why wouldn't he responded back to them twilight says, "Well just incase he doesn't I know a spell that can help us find your friend a lot easier." Scootaloo looks at her with and excited and a confused saying, "Really how does it work?".
"It's not that hard really I just focus my magic to specially find a filly or colt all I have to do is imagine a colt and like a radar it'll track any nearby pony down it's kind of like the game hot and cold, but if you want to have a better result just give me a picture of him.....which I'm guessing you don't have one with you."
Scootaloo just stood their kinda shocked when she heard the word colt...didn't she tell her that her new friend wasn't a pony......oh no she completely forgot to tell her didn't she her spell wouldn't work if she thinks she's looking for a pony. She says, "Wait twilight I forgot to mention that...." before she can finish spike interrupts her saying, "Look Scootaloo whatever you got to say it has to wait the sun is going down and if we don't leave right now it'll harder....and possibly more dangerous for us to find him."
She grew frustrated with spike for interrupting her, but she knew he was right if they don't leave now it'll be harder to find them she decided she just have to tell her on the way there, "Alright fine I'll just tell you on the way then come on we got to hurry!" and all three of them rush out the front door.

As the timber wolf laid before his feet he pulled out his sword from it's chest and placed it back in it's holster. He knew that it's only a matter of time before that thing comes back to life as the other wolves did. The best way to stop them was to set it on fire and let its remains burn, so it can't regenerate itself. He equipped his pyromancy flame and set the wolfs corpse on fire and slowly watches it burn in front of him, "There..." he thought, "That should be the last of them.....damn didn't think these wolfs would come back to life on their own without the need of the bonfire .....this place is a lot different then any other place I've been to...... I don't think I can remember any of the enemy's I fought doing that.....if all the enemy's here can do that.....then it just makes it a whole lot harder to survive huh...".
Toby can feel his will slowly dropping just thought of those type of enemy's existing he even wondered if all the enemies here can just resurrect themselves without the need for someone to rest at a bonfire...how can he fight something like that....can the bosses here do that too...can they just come back to life by themselves....it just makes the fight more unbearable and whatever hope he had is being slowly drained from him .......sometimes he wonders why his still fighting....what's the reason for him to continue on in the first place, to fulfill a prophecy? How does he even know his the chosen one, for all he knew he could just be a normal man fighting trying to prevent himself from going hollow like the rest that came before him. "I can't even remember how I even died or...who I was before I died...I can't even remember my own name! The only name I know of is Toby and it was given to me by a talking horse....how do i even know if she's real and not just a figment of my imagination have I gone, so mad that I made up a talking horse to keep me company? Did I just imagine these enemy's being made of wood and coming back to life and all this time I've just been burning corpses! I just.....I just....".
Toby falls to his knees with his arms flopping lazily to his sides, he looks up at the leaves that are providing shade for him, protecting his eyes from the bright sun, "I don't even know any more.....was I even summoned or......is this all in my head?" he thought to himself, but his depression was interrupted by low deep growl coming from behind him.
He slowly turned his head around and saw something hiding in the bushes as he looked carefully he can see two big green orbs coming closer and closer to where he was, but.....he didn't move...he just kneeled their without moving a single muscle...and as it grew closer he got to see it more clearly.
It was one of those tree wolves he fought before, but this one was far bigger then the others, as in it could possibly reach one of the tallest trees in this forest, he thought, "Oh great another one and you just, so happen to be the biggest one that this things,got, well that's just fantastic and let me guess you can regenerate to can you.....why do I even ask of course you can all of the other three I fought could, so why can't you."
The big timberwolf lift up it's gigantic paw and swooped down to Toby's right side hitting him directly on his right arm and side. He flung in the air with ease hitting one of the trees with tremendous force, getting lodged into it, "Ow...ok that kinda hurt." he said to himself as he removed himself from the tree he lands on his two feet not raising his shield or unsheathing his sword any fight he had in him was slowly being drained out of him, "I'm going to end up dying anyways." he thought to himself. The timber wolf swoop its right paw hitting directly sending him spiraling into the air and slamming onto the ground. He didn't pick bother to pick himself up and just continued to lay on the floor. The timber took advantage of the moment and brought up his right paw again bring it down on Toby slamming him on his back breaking a few ribs, Toby groaned in pain, but still continued to do nothing and with the wolfs paw still on his back it started to implied pressure on him trying to crush Toby with it's weight.
Toby didn't feel like fighting anymore he just wanted to die already he didn't see the point in trying to fulfill some prophecy if some other guy is able to do it, so what made him any special. He'll just end up going hollow like the rest just like....
"Oh no Toby!!"
He stopped thinking for a moment when he heard a voice...it...sounded like....that girl he just meet...what was her name....Scootaloo right? Struggling to raise his head he saw a glimpse of where the voice is coming from it was her the girl he meet before. "Oh great..." he thought to himself, "Why is my mind bringing her up again to give me some motivation to continue living or is it trying to depress me even more.....you already want me to go hollow this fast?" his head then slams back onto the floor the wolf still trying to crush Toby.
"Toby!!" Scootaloo said, "Please get up! I don't want to see you die!" She had so much feeling in her voice.....as in she does care for him. It didn't really make much sense to him, she's just a figment of his imagination right?
Why would his brain try, so hard to make her sound real?
Maybe.....there was something in his mind that wants him to live?......possibly, "Eeeggh fine." he thought.
He lifted himself up and pushed against the timber wolfs force with ease. Its slightly widen when it saw Toby easily out matching in strength and tried to apply more pressure on him to try to bring him back on the ground, but as hard as he tried he couldn't do it. When Toby lifted himself high enough to place one knee on the ground and quickly placed both of his palms on it's paw lifting them up even higher, "You want to give me a reason to live......fine I'll continue to fight...I still don't see a point anymore, but.....I guess she'll have to do.". With all his might he threw it's paw straight into the air surprising both the timber wolf and Scootaloo with his strength and quickly rolled away from it to get some distance, he place his right hand on his weapon and raised his shield.
"Prepare for an ass kicking you piece of shit."
