//------------------------------// // Everfree Forest // Story: Heart Without A Beat // by ewejam //------------------------------// Pain.... Lots of pain.... Not as worse as before, but still rather painful. Everything was black, he couldn't see or hear anything. Everything was so dark, no stratch that, it wasn't dark, it was pure black, not as in unable to see anything, but as in a black blacker then the darkest of nights. It was a lot like when orochimaru used the infintite darkness justu on him, execpt he was in no danger and everything was so calm. If he would describe it, Naruto would say he lost all of his five sences, so how was he feeling pain? "So what so we do with this one?" "I don't know sister, he has such a good heart.... I think he deserves a second chance" "So we should send him to the past?" "No, then he would try to change it and there would be to much paperwork, I think we should send him to another universe.... mabye start over with a new life" "What about his memories Kami?" "Let him keep it. I like his wiser self better." Who were those people? Wait.... did one of them call the other Kami? So he was listening to a conversation of the creator of worlds? ' well that proves I'm dead ', he thought depressingly. But what did they say about another universe? He didn't have anymore time to think as he suddenly found himself free falling from really high up, so high he could see an entire continent below him. The wind came as a surprise as it buffeted him, as just a moment ago, he was in the calm darkness. The pain also returned. The blinding sun did not help much. He felt weird, now that he knew that he couldn't do anything and his life was in fate's hands, he felt calm. Of course he did still feel the free falling sensation and the pain of his wounds, but his mind wasn't focused on it. He felt like he was a cloud blowing in the wind, with fate determining where he would end up. 'So this is what being a cloud feels like, shikamaru would be jealous' he chuckled in his mind. The sheer amount of force blowing at him soon became to much and he blacked out. " Angel where are you? " A very worried yellow pegasus near the edge of the everfree forest called out. She then saw her bunny hopping into the everfree forest. "Angel come back! It's dangerous in the forest!" She yelled out in panic as she gave chase to the bunny. The Everfree forest, a forest at the outskirts of the humble villige know as ponyville, was either dark and gloomy or light and beautiful. This always depends on the time you look at it. From the night, it is a dark forest with almost no sunlight because of the thick shurberry, so errie that you could hear the falling of a leaf, and with so many dangerous creatures, some that could even kill a pony with a single glance, literally. However, if you look at it from day, it's a peacful forest full of peaceful animals and trees that wave along with the wind, as if they were dancing to it. Even though it is not really dangerous at day, many ponies avoid it at all times due to the amount of times somepony went in but never came out. Naruto's last thoughts before losing consciousness was ' so I'm landing in a peaceful forest, dosen't seem to bad, I just hope I land in a pond '. " Angel, where are you? " The yellow pony was starting to panic as she was never this far in the forest before. She was following Angle's footprints. She soon ran into a clearing and saw Angel staring at the pond. " Oh Angel! " Fluttershy sighed in relief as she walked toward him, " The forest is very dangerous you know! No carrot jucie for a week! " She scolded, but noticed that the bunny paid her no mind. " Angel? " Fluttershy asked a little more gentlely when she saw him staring up at the sky, and followed suit, to see a figure falling down from the sky rapidly before hitting the pond with a giant splosh, drenching them both
