"okay you have two wings and a worn right? you are a pegacorn or a winged unicorn. but they are often get confused with alicorns which are better looking, mostly taller and have plot based strength and ability power"
-Viper Pit
A winged unicorn, huh? Okay.
"Okay, so, Tom, you are apparently what's called an Alicorn. They have traits of all three ponies, which means you get some kind of vaguely defined flora competencies, and also maybe super strength, the ability to fly, the ability to manipulate clouds and the weather, and access to magic. The full package. If there isn't lightning, you can try flying up above the clouds and just sleep there. They are supposedly soft. If there IS lightning, stay grounded. It won't kill you, but it will suck and you may fall to your death. Also, magic is based on emotions, and I don't have any other specifics. I'll try to do some research for you in a little bit."
-Nyronus
"The answer to your riddle you gave the other guy is an echo.
Hello again.
Thank you for the check. Others have said this but what you are is an alicorn.
We have some knowledge of the area you are in though its not specific. Thats not important now though.
I'd advice you to not try to fly as the task is likely beyond you now. However, I would advice you to attempt to hover. Those of your new species with wings seem to have an ability to hover while moving said wings very slowly. Like impossibly slowly.
Do not let yourself get distracted by this for long however as there is a second task we need you to do.
Try to create a magical blast from your horn good enough to blow apart a pile of wood. There are creatures you may have to fight out there.
Then you are going to want to find a place to look from. Try to get to high ground or find a river. If you find high ground then get up on it and look over the trees. If you find a river then follow it to civilization.
Remember, civilizations are on rivers. I suspect the forest you are in has a river and in fact it runs through a town of ponies. The species you are now.
Good luck my friend."
-Mr Stargazer
Oh, okay, it's an alicorn, then.
"Actually, 'echo' isn't the right answer. Sorry, I came up with that riddle on the fly, maybe it needs some fine-tuning. Pretty close guess, though."
Tom addressed nothing in particular, but hoped his message would get across anyway, and sighed.
"Guess I'll follow that creek I found as soon as the rain lets up."
To pass the time, Tom tried a few blasts of magic from his horn. They were too weak to do more than knock a little bark off of a tree.
Damnit...
As the storm began to subside, Tom heard another familiar voice.
"Huh. Haven't heard that one. Was thinking time, or maybe death, but that's probably not it.
So, Tom, once the storm's over, you'll want to start looking around. There's a friend nearby, but the map cannot be trusted.
Riddle: I am always here, but you cannot see me. I try to take the shortest path, no matter the consequences. Earth is my enemy."
-Eevee
"Not time or death, though interesting guesses. As for yours, uhh... electricity?"
Tom shrugged and stepped out from his little lean-to.
Map cannot be trusted... wonder what the hell that means.
Pursuant to some of the otherworldly advice he had received, Tom gave flying a try.
It went poorly. He struggled to find purchase against the air with his wings, and the best he could manage was hovering if he beat his wings very, very rapidly. A few minutes of such exertion saw him land, panting.
If I'm a super-strong alicorn, why do I suck at everything?!
"AAAARGH! Fine, buck it, I'm going to follow that creek!"
"ok tom you forgot to climb a tree but oh well, make sure to find a food and water source."
-Zapper frost
"But I did climb a tree – you know what? Buck it. I don't want to sit around a forest talking to myself."
Tom set off as quickly as he could for the creek. About ten minutes later he realized he was going the wrong way, trekked back in the opposite direction, and found it.
Guess I don't have super-alicorn-directional-sense, either.
A half-hour of following the creek downstream later, Tom came across a quaint-looking orchard of apples.
Holy... good call, Stargazer! Hey, Zapper! I found a food source!
Tom rushed to the nearest apple tree, giving it a firm kick.
Sadly, no apples fell.
Dangit!
Oh, right.
Tom zapped an apple off of the tree, and took a bite...
Yup, electricity.
Tom, look out. Someone is coming, and she might not be happy. Be careful, but if you stay honest, she'll probably be kind in return.
Riddle: I can drive people to kill just to save someone linked by me, but I can also be the chain they try to bury. I am one of the closest bonds you can have.
-Eevee
Ah, excellent! An apple orchard is a great sign; you're not just near civilization, you're near civilization we voices are familiar with. (Don't ask. It's complicated and irrelevant to your continued survival right now.) There should be a farmhouse somewhere nearby. You'll find other ponies there. Explain how you spontaneously appeared in the Everfree and they should get you to somepony—yes, somepony, it's the local vernacular—who can figure out what's going on.
Oh, and they'll probably forgive you for eating that apple. The things may grow on trees, but they still charge for them.
you don't have the super alicorn sense is because you are not a alicorn but a pegacorn also i would find a orange mare with cowboy hat and ask for help
Don't beat yourself up man. The magic you have been able to use is pretty good for a guy who just started.
The place you likely are is called 'Sweet Apple Acres'. The mare there is a very honest pony who is also connected to some very magically powerful individuals.
She herself has a connection to the concept of 'honesty' so lieing is a bad idea.
That being said, probably shouldn't mention us. Oh! Also if you talk to us in your mind we seem to be able to hear it.
Proably avoid eating more than that one apple as well.
Go say hi and explain your need help as you were caught up in a magical phenomenon.
Also I reiterate. Don't mention us. Don't mention you know her name or the name of her farm.
Good luck man, we have your back.
Ok tom you like so many other voices said you are at sweet apple acres, you shouldn't tell anyPONY about us except maybe a pink pony with a dark pink mane. Also despite what viper told you are called an alicorn and you should probably try to hide your horn or wings.
Tom, start shouting for Applejack. She's a pony who can help you. Ask her to take you to Twilight, or Starlight if Twilight isn't available. Also, tell her to ask Fluttershy to get Discord.
She may be weirded out by a total stranger asking all that, but just be honest with her. She'll appreciate that.
Silly little fleshling, listening to the voices beyond...
Not all, not all, not all are the one.
This one, this name, sings with many. Do not, do not...
do not...
DO NOT THINK that one name IS ONE VOICE!
There is kindness, and there is rage. For now, for now, for now the many ones speak for help.
Yet
there will come
times
where they must speak for themselves.
Times of....

where different opinions, different ways, show, show, show the forth.
Step carefully, lost one
The guides themselves
might be lost
in their own forest.

Sorry, non-imperative comments don't make it through.
If there are more apple trees don’t eat it may belong to a farm if that’s the case you can get help, but cover your wings up... actually forgot that just say something royally and tell half lies while you at it
If no farm then inspect the Apple if there is something off
I believe the reasons could make the word ‘float’ is because you need your magic to spread around it not a signal point
