The forest was his new home.
From what he saw, he didn't belong in the town outside of his forest, but he also knew he didn't belong inside of it. His new hole filled legs and black body seemed to make sure he didn't fit in anywhere.
He had planned on trying to figure out what had happened to him without drawing attention, but when he saves three fillies from danger, he knew that his time to think about it was almost up.
The ponies would want answers.
He had none.

Chapters (3)
Huh... neat.
Nice story, i really liked it. Some how I feel like this could continue. Will there be more chapters?
This a a nice take on things
Hahaha. Another story for my collection. I hope you continue to write such wonderful things........
Well, it’s a good start. I hope it continues.
That’s pretty cute!
Can you get out a mark?
This is well written and quite touching.
Well this story is off on a good start, I usually don't care that much for HiE turned Changelling but you managed to make intrigue exceptionally with your writing style and mystery you are wrapping this in, it's been a while that I have seen a story that focuses on emotion and sensation written in the heat of the moment,I never found out what that style is called but I have always loved it. looking forward to the next chapter.
Also, if you are interested in getting your own cover art for this story I am open for commissions, I have plenty experience here on Fim and I invite you to PM me if you are urged to do so I will happily explain the process to you. If you are curious and want to take a peak at my work you can take a look at my DA gallery in the link bellow; hope to hear from you soon.

Sounds interesting.
I'll certainly want to read it when you have more chapters published.
Great start and well done.
Im looking forward to seeing where you take this fun story.

That's the plan! Going to try to keep a consistent update schedule as well!

Whoops! I was worried that I had missed something, thanks for point those out! Fixed!
Faved and following.
This has a most excellent start.
Yes! All my Yes!
Looking forward to the next chapter! And the eventual Twilight Freakout scene!
Glad to see you writing again, bestie
Lead, the metal, rhymes with stead. Lead, as with a group, doesn't.
9471301
Have I been pronouncing stead the wrong way my entire life? Probably. I'll see if I can find a better way to do that then. Thanks!
Wow very well done first chapter, looking forward to were it goes from here.
You have me intrigued. I eagerly anticipad the 2nd chapter.
9471330
Don't feel so bad
I seem to be mispronouncing it wrong too.
So the ponies are going to declare him evil, hunt him down, attack him, drag him out of the forest and interrogate him? Because that's what it looks like you're leading up to from what the story description implies.
It shifts in tense between scenes for some reason but other than that I like it. I hope you have more planned.
I wish I learned foreign languages that easily.
Nice cover art
Can't wait to see the next chapter.
HiE as a changeling is such a niche thing, that its hard to find good stories of this nature. This is well done and i look forward to seeing more.
A fun read! Looking forward to more. Added this to the Language Barrier group. So hard to find fics with an actual language barrier. Hoping it's not broken via spells.
Delicious.
Just make sure not to lose the audiences interest in the main character, give him problems or quirks.
But smooth writing, I enjoy
A good start. Slightly stilted at times and a few typos and grammar mistakes, but overall rather nice.
I look forward to seeing how it continues.

Why thanks you
Woo, already off to a great start.
Looking forward to updates on this one!
Off to a good start.
This is super interesting. I wonder how you’ll have twilight react to the mention of him.

I to enjoy those type of stories. What are your favorites?
9542199
eh, my favorites has some good ones, just filter search with, like "#changelings #human words:>10000" or something like that some of the HiE stores don't use the human tag though.
some of my peeves are things like modified memories (eg. human merges minds with insert_being, or convenient amnesia) its kind of lazy writing in most cases, though there area fair few where it was done in a way that i ended up liking. As an overarching plot device for instance. just not as, 'whoops i dun smashed ma head on a rock when i got to Equestria, good thing too, or i'd have make with the exposition'.
i guess there's just good writing, meh, i'll read it writing, meh writing, and oh dear gods my eyes! My favorites has a good few from all categories, so meh.
also, just a note, its kind of rude to post or ask someone to post links to other peoples stories on other peoples stories... just saying.
9544068
I will agree with you on those peeves. It kinda takes the beginning arc out of the story which to me is a loss of good story telling.
Despite my profile saying its from 2017 I haven't been on it until about 2 months ago so forgive me for asking as I don't know how the PM works on this website.... That and I couldn't check your favs via your profile.
9544974
No biggie. As for PM, hover over name to the left;
<<
When the profile badge pops up, in the top right corner there's a little drop down arrow, that has a link to things like PM, or on the profile page its one of the tabs denoted as 'Mail'
As for my favorites, it should be public. Go to profile and 'Library' tab.

this popped into my head.
"But in this matter I will take lead, after all I think that being studied is the last thing our new friend needs."
This is a great chapter, keep it up!
More?
I dearly hope that this is still being worked on. Honestly it's one of the best human-as-changeling stories I've seen here despite being a single chapter. It's well written, the characterization so far (the CMC and Zecora) is spot on so I have confidence that you'll do the others justice as well, and it's a wonderful premise.
Out of all the stories involving a human as a changeling, I kind of wish it was this one instead of the others updating.
Fun!
But, what has he been eating for a month?
Aaaaaaaannnnnnnd it's dead.
this is, like, only the second story i've EVER read on this site where the protagonist doesn't speak the same language as the ponies.
9656640
Hush you, simply because a chapter takes awhile does not mean it's dead.
Green Light? That mean the story is a go!
Aye!
Mixup is a fantastic artist!
He brought my OC to life back in the day.
I've got your story under tracking and in a couple more chapters I'll give it a read.
:D
If Mixup is drawing for you then it's at least a really good story.
Hum, I wonder why he thinks the Everfree Forest is watching over him, is he affected by something, like magic or maybe he is just crazy now? I still very much like the writing style, it's a lot of fun to read. Wonder what is his mistrust's Twilight so much? Wonder what Twilight will do with him under her care, not doubt he will feel like a bug under a microscope during that time.
