Once I knew what I had before me, and what I was looking at, things slowly started to clear up for me. A severely injured Changeling, and one I wasn't going to see as an enemy, for what it is worth. Actually, I was starting to see her as a potential friend.
Looking at my mane as it hang down before my eyes, something suddenly became clear, this isn't the old and ordinary mane I had as I left my home. It is still the same fiery red it had always been, but it is a mane you would have been looking at, if you had Luna before you, only she's an Alicorn, but I had thought myself a Pegaus mare. This isn't the type of mane a Pegaus would grow under any circumstances.
Then something more came to mind, we had been reading in class of how Cadence had been born a Pegasus to, but later ascended into an Alicorn. Maybe this explained my situation.
What we had red back in the class in Cloudsdale did not go into anything of this, so my mane is a pure mystery to me. Yet, I realised it isn't just strands of hair anymore. For what it was worth, it is aiding me in seeing something I couldn't have seen before, but it is merely a small detail in a much greater change. As an Alicorn, I would also have a horn in my forehead, with which I could perform actual magic. Not just the regular weather magic we had been doing before. Walking on clouds and the like is easy for a Pegasus, but this is an entirely different kind of magic of which I had no prior experience.
Knowing I couldn't just pull her out of the forest caused me to consider my options. I could always try the more common Unicorn magic, like levitating her out of the darkness of the forbidding forest, in hope to avoid any of the resident wolves would find us, before I could get her on her hooves.
Uncertainty in my abilities made me try out a few things along the way, starting with looking around for the small objects for a good test to grow accustomed to handling what I had in mind. Levitation was supposedly among the first and easiest spells in the book, but I didn't even have the book at hoof.
After a few trials and tests, I felt sufficiently comfortable and secure in what I had before me, and lifted her up from the cold dark ground where she had been found. Now I moved towards the line of trees, carrying my charge with me, in hope I could actually save her. I just couldn't see these wolves have her, for whatever good it may do for them. The Changeling wasn't up for a fight at this point.
Since I'm not sure how far it would or how bad she is doing, I had chosen to stop, just beyond the limit of the unforgiving forest. Keeping her on level with my eyes, I could finally have a good look at her, in order to see. This is when I felt her brush against my mane again, only to get a new glimpse into her situation, even if it only told me about her state of mind and how she would view me. It didn't tell me much I didn't know at this point, so I simply moved to examine her body.
What I found wasn't directly life-threatening, for all I could say. Just as I can't do anything for her here, short of a minor cleaning her coat off, and sealing skin-deep wounds. So I chose to proceed to take her, to where I thought I could help her.
Moving in haste, I soon found the first choice less than available, since the hut was empty, and the Zebra not there. Now I moved her out of the forest, before I make a dash for the next choice I could think of, which is in the outskirts of Ponyville. As I approach I soon realised, it would be best chance, not just because she was known to be easy to find, but due to her general sympathetic character in general. She had after all even tried to turn Discord himself towards less hurtful paths.
I knock on her door, only to hear hoofsteps behind it, giving me short time to prepare, now as it is either going to work, or would she turn me away?
I love it and you made a prince!! never read a story with a prince yet until know.
4059912 there is only one Prince in canon,
most every character has been, and still are mares.
may be the reason why you don't ind any Princes?
4060179 that make's sense.
4060229 as to the 'Royalty', I'm trying to pick up on more or less obscure hitns on the show.
ascention is apparently at the age we see as puberty?
I picked the mane trick trom Luna/Nightmare.
There may be a few more similiar hints across the show to pick up on? I'd like to have them pointed out, in case they're there.
The matter of mare to stallion ratio isn't FiM, it's throughout the entire of MLP.
I guess this makes me find it all the more aluring, as it were.
Most of my stories are more or less exclusively female/girl or Mare/fillie, so it goes well here too.
I enjoy broadening on the larer story, so picking up on details and make them into something is fun.
4060328 what? I had a heard time with your comment.
4060354 is it any in particular, or just in general?
4060395 all of it, I think my attention span is getting shorter.
4060482 oh, that IS a problem. just read a paragraph at the time? could this work?
I'm picking up obscure details about the Royal Alicorns.
Twilight and Cadence both Ascended fairly late.
Then I picked up on Luna/Nightmares Special mane, which I make use of here.
The Stalion to Mare Ratio is stageringly low, but it's not just FiM, but throughout the entire MLP.
I more or less use the Mare/Fillie in all my stories.
or Female/girls, not just on the Pony related stories.
4060950 ok I think I am ok know and I get it to.
4062942 hope you enjoy where I'm taking the both of them, since my Changeling did need some help.
4066335 I will.
4067493 I'll just have to figure out how to get the scene going, so that you and every poni else can keep enjoying the show.
4067607 ya that is difficult to do some time's.
4068386 I'm trying to convince Flutters to help.
I'm not sure how to express how a pony would do it.
Though she would have all required materials,
and my Ali would be able to help in applying them.
Even if she may be a bit rough around the edges, since she just realised her new abilities.
4071521 that sounds good, you could have twi barge in because she probably hates them second most out of evrepony.
4071937 that could be an interesting conflict,
Twilight haven't seen too many black Alicorns either, and none with a fiery red mane.
Came to think of it, my little Alicorn should go well with Floutters, since she is the element of kindness, after all.
4071962 eeyup.
4071969 right now, I'm working on halping the Changeling.
4072388 so you are thinking more about the present then the future but make shear you know where you wont the story to go because it can play out a lots of different way's.
4072413 the Future is built in the Present,
so I have to make the presenmt right, in order to this to work.
I like the Changeling to enjoy being with my Ali, and not just for the one thing Changelings can't produce themselves.
Even if I'm not doing this so much for a ship, but it still is a small part here.
4072622 and that is why I am not a righter but instead I am a reader, I have a heard time getting my Present to Future or I just can't play my cards right.
4073619 the writer, just like me, needs a reader for my stories.
Then you as a reader, needs a writer to make the stories you enjoy to be written.
I'm more of a conscept story writer,
if I can see it happen, the characters, acts and lines of comments come naturally.
To a point, the characters are me, and I'm them.
If only they could live as free standing, they could have written the story while I sleep, and we could read the story by morning?
Only free standing memes(characters) can't excist in our world. (or at least it is what I/we've been told)
Maybe they could have been refered to, as 'Ghost-Writers'?
4073660 you did a good job explaining that. when I reed a story I sea what he/she sea's, and I live thru the character. so I under stand what your saying.
4075075 this is exactly the way I write my stories.
the readers are supposed to see it through the eyes of the narrative character.(which would be Fiery Mane, for now)
some sensations may be confusing, since we may not realy have the sense in the first place, or we just process it diffrently
4075136 correct and correct
4075244 that's the way I like to be.
since we're talking ponies, the senses are different from ours,
and I would have to make adjustments for it.
