Trixie's Carriage
Trixie's pov
...Water....
...Help....
....Please somepony help I can't swim....
...Help me....
..Why nopony's helping me?...
...I can't swim..
..I can't breath..
..I'm sinking...
'''Gasp!'' I shoot up spurting for air my hooves failing trying to claw their way to the surface but instead of water they found air.....Air! In a flurry I blinked my eyes, feeling them readjust themselves in the earlier morning light or at least I think it's still morning. I founded myself in my bed what happen? what am I in bed? the last thing I remembered was falling into the river and then cold blackness. was it just dream? Feeling my wet mare plasted against my neck and looking downward on my chest as well the rest of my body I could see and feel the evident of my 'forced swim'. Again I asked myself what happen only to find nothing to explain this mystery excepted for a large shadow reaching for me. Did somepony helped me? why?'' there not a single pony in town that would help me'' I thought bitterly '' those country hicks would probably just watch as I drowned'' But yet somepony saved me......
''Where am I?'' I thought while panic was rushing though my veins. I didn't know where I was for all I knew those country bums foalnaped me and burned down my carriage while selling off my heirlooms.... well that did happening to my great great great grandmother Rose Red in Gryphon country but that didn't mean that it couldn't happen again! poor me'ma the gryphons sold her off to Changeling Traders to use an broodmare. NOOOO I'm too pretty to to become some overgrown Bug's broodmare!!!! In my panic I felled out of bed meeting an all so familiar floor. Wincing at my busied snot I calmed down at the familiar sight (and the pain) of my families' carriage. The old carriage have been in the Lulamoon clan for seveal generations each had visibly left their mark on the ancient carriage in the form of carving their very names in the wood, sometimes I could almost imagine my ancestors right beside me when my hoof touches the so lovingly cravings in the wood. As I sat there on the floor I reminded the dampness that was me casting a quick heat spell my damped fur instantly dries then rising to my hooves i noticed that who ever saved me had warp me up with mother's think blanket and that it had adsorbed most of the water. Sigh that wouldn't do that blanket will take hours to dry even with magic because of it age I can only use a very weak heating charm on it or risk destroying it. Sighing again I pulled the blanket off the bed over to the corner for later because i had a much more pressing matter at hoof.
''How in Celestia's name did I get here?'' I mentally asked myself in puzzlement please don't let it country bums or changelings anything but Changelings.... I'm just lucky that Me'ma proved to be smarter then the bugs by making a special spiced wine that knocked it out for a week and that was just one drop allowing her to escape into Equestria with a very heavy sag full of gold I might add.
Just then as if in reply to my question I head a crash in the kitchen followed by the cursing of an masculine voice with a strange heavy accent and.........slight vibrating sounds? Not a changeling please Celestia no changelings! the Canterlot invasion was a nightmare it took me a year before I was able to sleep at night without bug proofing my carriage several times over and several times again ''Just what was in my kitchen?'' I mentally asked silently as hooves would allowed, I crept my way to the carriage's very small kitchen, a slight humming reached my ears before the sweet smell of fresh fruit and greenly non-too gently hits my nose. The sweet smell of food reminds me that I haven't eaten yet and unfortunately my stomach gives me away before I could get a single glimpse of my 'guest'.
''Ah your awake just in time too, I hope you like flower salad.''
I jump at the sound of the voice with an shriek whilst blasting an storm spell in the diction of the voice only for it to fly out of the window. Leaving the flying spell free to hit an unsuspecting pony in the worst case or fry some animal not that I cared since the only close by town was Ponyville.... if I'm lucky it would hit Sparkle, that would quite funny to see but nonetheless I had other things to worry about.
'' You really to work on that aim, you missed the salad some roasted sunflowers sound rather lovey about now.'' said the strange voice
My eyes widen at the site of a very large Timberwolf sitting at my kitchen with a large rich salad across from it as if waiting for me. I just stood there frozen in fear even in my many travels I had heard of the wooden wolves of the Everfree and how dangerous they were but more importantly their ravenous hungry for the flesh of ponies.....was I going to die?
''Well... what are you waiting for lassy? dig in the salad ain't going to bite yer.'' said the voice I heard from before coming from the Timberwolf.....what in Luna's name? I knew I shouldn't ever came back to Ponyville! this is a dream yes that it just a bad dream.
'' I know yer must be hungry come on now eat.'' He or at least I thought it was a he said '' hmm must never seen a Timber wolf before have ya now?''
''This is just dream yes that it just a bad dream'' I said trying to convinced myself that this whole situation was a dream any moment I'll awake up then I could put ponyville behind me and never set hoof in that town never again then I magical pinch myself in order to wake me up....ouch.... Sweet Celestia that hurt. okay I'm clearly awake and there's no giggling Lunar mare hiding in the carriage.... What did I ever do to deserved this
''I assure you that I be no dream'' said the Timber wolf with what I noticed an long leafy green mane but even more frighting he was looking straight at me with glowing white eyes. That's a honest to goodness real Timberwolf in my home.... a talking one at that.
''hen hen hen a talking Timber wolf...... a talking Timber wolf ' 'I sheepishly laughed with a twitch as my mind threaten with an emergency shutdown '' please let this be a dream I know that Timber wolves don't talk...... please Princess Luna oh please come on out you had you fun please?''
No midnight Alicorn appears
''Lady Luna? How you know of Lady Luna I thought Celestia had banish her for the rest of time'' said the wolf questioningly rising a wooden brow with a audible crack before changing the subject ''But my dear I can assure you that I am no danger, please sit.''
''oh um-mm am I dead then? cause you don't suppose to talk. '' I said nervously as I felt my legs buckle. Quickly I took the seat out fear that I was going to collapsed on the hard floor again that and I was really hungry. slowly I nibbled on the flower salad presented before me causing the Timberwolf to smile wolfishly. I hummed at the flavor of the salad, it all was too fresh to be real but given the situation I had little room to argue.
''No your still quite alive thank the Lords of the Forest,'' said the wolf
Lords of the Forest? I echoed in my thoughts who are these lords of the forest?
I didn't say anything how could I? I was eating breakfast and having a conversation with an Timberwolf of all things. Lou it was my first time having a meal with other being in what several years?
''Oakfang.''
''What'' I asked pull a way from the salad, I was sure I had on petals on my cheek.
''Oakfang, that be my name Oakfang of the Antel Anice'' said Oakfang with a smile.
''Trixie Lulumoon'' I replied returning said smile.

Blueblood's pov
''Nooooo! y-you.....you can't do this to me! Auntie!!'' I cried for the millionth time as the brutish guards drag me.... ME a Prince!.....to the sky carriage. how dare they! they are not even worthy to shine my royal hooves or lick my chamber pot. Aunt Celestia and Aunt Luna just stood there doing nothing to help me as I was stallion handle by the a brunch of presents never before in all of my life had I been so betrayed by my own family. The family I so dearly loved. Oh why this had to happen to me of all ponies, I was happy with the way I led my life parteis and long trails of broken hearts. I am a heart breaker I am proud of it. Cadance you rut crazed mare I'll have your head this outrage! I know it was you who had put dear Auntie Celestia up to this! You always hatred me so even since you met that pathetic excuse of a captain Shiny Armor or as I like to call him Bug lover. I knew he had taken that bug queen to his bed out of his free will but nopony ever blivied me saying that I was jealous. Bah what did I had to be jealous about I am a free spirit.
''I'm sorry Blueblood'' said my traitorous Aunt Celestia with her ears flat against her head, Ha I hope you feel bad. ''but it's time for you to meet your future wife....please stop make this any hard than it already is, Twilight will take good care of you.''
''Nephew,'' said Luna my last hope for Celestia to see reason she and I never did got on the right hoof '' While I don't agree with my sister's plan but it is time that you learn to treat other differently, I saw you use Lady Rarity as a shield when that cake was flying towards you back at the gala three years ago your behavior over these three years is unbecoming of a prince you need to relearn what it means to be of royal blood.''
''PLEASE!!!! Aunties give me another chance don't send me to Ponyville....I-I-I '' I started to sob as the guard began to forcefully put me in the carriage ''I DON'T WANT TO MARRY TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!!!!!!'' I couldn't get married specifically to the likes of Twilight. She and I was opposites she is all about total control while I lived for pleasures never ending and freedom. while we are both power mages in our own right and were practically raised by the same mare we went along as well of fire and water. As I said I'm a free spirit.
''My dearest nephew please forgive us ''said Celestia with a tear running down her muzzle lighting up her horn with a sleep spell ''but this have to happen'' Luna finishes her sister's sentence.
With those words I knew no more.
On the sky-road to Ponyville
Gilda's pov
''I can't believe that I'm doing this'' I said to myself listening to the calming sound of my wing beats, silently I thought back to what Dash and Pinkie had said back home in Gryphonstone......home that isn't a word to describe the half dead city but dump is too nice a word to call the city. They said that I could come and visit them in Ponyville, I hope that they were right about the town wouldn't hate me for what I did there the last time I was there. In the distance I could see Sweet Apple Arcs Ponyville's old and largest farm...... wasn't that one of Rainbow's favorite napping spots and hang outs?
I think it is.......man what an uncool place I mean I could get why she'll like to nap there, Pegasi just like Gryphons like to be up high when roosting but why she hangs there? she hates work maybe one of friends lives there. Angling my wings just right I begin to land nearby the town, I can't wait to see their faces when I surprise them with an visit. I smiled when I seen them on the ground below..
Huh why is Fluttershy all cut up?
