Pony Beats

Chapter 1: a new day

Memories swirled and shuddered in his mind, just out of reach of his consciousness. He saw a face, it was beautiful, yet it caused him to get so angry he shook. He felt a sharp pain in his head as a pony put his fractured skull back together with magic. The new feeling of healing magic made him writhe as it fixed his cuts, bruises, and broken bones. He could almost open his eyes, just on the edge of being awake, when a sharp injection of morphine went into his head. He went numb, and quickly fell back into his subconscious.

Beat woke up in a bed that he had only seen when escaping, but realized it was not in the caves he had finally escaped from. He sighed as he looked out the window to see the calming night sky, only disturbed by a flash of green on a faraway mountaintop. He looked around his room to see his saddlebag on a desk and got up. He wobbled, feeling weaker than he was previously, then trotted over to the desk to look at his stuff.

He had forgotten exactly what he had in his bag, as he had taken it from his captors. So he decided to look over it again, hoping to find something good. He opened a small flap to find the potion, but still couldn't read the label. He put it back and felt the main flap of his new saddlebag. It was woolen and mainly colored brown, with the exception of a few red blotches. He opened the main flap and saw a notebook, a small battery, and a large bag of bits. He opened the notebook to see it had written down something as he opened it. He closed the notebook, as it was gibberish to him and picked up the small battery. He felt a tingle as he touched it and decided to put it in his pony pocket, so he could feel the power it gave him When he felt it for a while. He felt better instantly, and perked up, feeling much stronger and not wobbling anymore. He got his saddlebag and trotted over to the door to leave when he heard hoofsteps from the other side.

"Who's there?!" Beat yelled to the approaching figure. "Is he awake now?" A voice said softly. The hoofsteps sped up and Beat was surprised when they started to open the door. He closed it again and repeated "who's there?!" The figure behind the door jumped when the door hit it in the face. "My name is Rainy. And ouch!" Beat replied by asking "Why are you here?" The voice replied "Why I'm here to visit you of course. I'm the one who found you in that tree." Beat decided to pull her inside, causing her to yelp in surprise. He secured the area by locking the door, and closing the blinds. "W-why'd you do that" the Pegasus said nervously, fidgeting in a corner. "I'm securing the area to make sure they don't see me." He said as the sun rose over a faroff glowing green mountain.
