	Once the first changeling had found the other, he knew that they needed some where to hide from the ponies soon. He had heard the zebra say she was going to tell the ponies and who knows how many would come searching after them. He picked up the unconscious changeling and flew them up to a small cave nearby. He placed the unconscious changeling against the side of the cave wall and set off to find some bedding for the both of them. As he went to leave the cave, he heard voices below. He sneaked up to the edge of the cliff and spotted the zebra talking to two ponies. These ponies seem familiar... I remember now! They're part of the Elements of Harmony! He watched as the ponies started to head off in different directions when suddenly, the purple unicorn stopped. She bent down and picked an object off the ground. Wait, is that? My horn! That purple unicorn has my horn! Well, there's nothing I can do about it now...

The changeling gathered a few large leaves from some nearby as the ponies were looking around the forest for him. As he arrived back at the cave, he found that the other changeling was waking up. As he divided the leaves and was making a bed, it stared at him for a while before mind-speaking.
"Broken horn." it's mind-voice came with a female hint to her voice.
"Yes, I know my horn is broken." He said, continuing to work on the leaves.
"Broken Horn."
"Sigh, What do you want?"
"Is Broken Horn... name?" She asked, Starting to put sentences together better.
"I don't know. Well, I guess so. I mean, it fits me..."
"What is... my name?"
"Hmm... Let me think..." He adopted a pensive look on his face before noticing that her wings were extreamly damaged. "How about Tattered Wing? Err... Tatter for short."
"Sounds... good. How do you speak... verbally?"
"I'm not sure... Well, when I tried to transform, what's left of my horn spit out sparks and I got the voice of a pony, but not the form..."
I guess I'll try that... Tatter started concentrating and, before long, burst into green flames for a moment. Once the flames subsided, in place of the changeling was a light purple unicorn with a blue mane and tail and the cutie mark of a cloud broken in half. "Well that didn't go as well as I had hoped..."
"Actually, that's perfect! Those ponies had to live somewhere nearby, so you can go find where they live and get back my horn fragment from that purple unicorn!"
"Purple unicorn? That wouldn't happen to be the purple unicorn from the Elements of Harmony would it?"
"Unfortunately, yes it is, but if you stay calm, you could probably fool her into thinking you're an actual pony. I saw them coming from the East, so if you head in that direction, you'd probably find their town."
"Okay. As soon as I find your horn, I'll head back here."
"I'll see you as soon as you get back, just make sure you're not followed."
