//------------------------------// // Ponyville // Story: feral power // by The oracle //------------------------------// 14 days after the interlude --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As she gazed out from the tree line, she saw ponies rushing back and forth with baskets of apples, banners, and other things. She laughed to herself at the ponies scrambling. Did they not know how silly they looked? She then heard a flapping of wings, and saw a chariot being pulled by two pegasi, holding a blue unicorn, and a purple dragon. Upon seeing the unicorn, she felt a sharp stab of pain in her head, and winced. She held a hoof to where the pain had started and growled softly. ' That pony looks familiar, but why? Is she in a memory a haven't gotten back yet?' She thought ' Oh well. I guess I can just ask the timber wolves what they know about her. They seem much more cooperative these days anyway. Maybe I can convince them to let me lead them.' She decided to follow them to see what else she could find. She saw the dragon and her talking, and walking. As she stalked them from the tree line, they suddenly ran into a pink earth pony. As soon as the blue pony, Trixie she had learned was her name, the pink pony gasped, jumped into the somehow breaking the rules of gravity, and ran away. ' Well, that was, unusual. Better keep an eye on her should she ever come into the forest.' The pony then trotted back to Trixie, and stared right at twilight. She narrowed and started to hop over to her. 'Buck, she saw me!' Twilight scrambled back into the security of her forest before she was found. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRIXIE POV " But spike, i have to find the elements of harmony! The fate of equestria could depend on me finding them!" Spike just stared with a deadpan look and said " So the fate of equestria depends on you finding some old gems, that only exist in a fairy tale, and, lets pretend they are real, you would have no idea where to even start looking." Trixie just gave him a glare and turned around. When they got touched the ground, Trixie felt like she was being watched by something. She then continued to argu with spike about the elements when she ran into a pink earth pony " Just say hi to her." Trixie sighed, held out a hoof and said " Hello, my name is Trixie." The pony gasped, jumped into the air and ran off. " Well, that was, interesting." Before she knew it, the pink pony walked back over, still in the air, looked at some nearby bushes, and started to hop towards them. She saw some rustling, and suddenly the feeling of being watched disappeared. She continued on to her other duties, but that feeling of being watched returned and never quite left until she had entered the library. What she didn't notice was a pair of curious lavender eyes, watching her every move. ' One way or another, I will find out who you are.'
