1.1 Bifrost... Is That You?
"Hello!? Help! Anyone!?"
My voice echoed among what little space there was as I took a deep breath from my spontaneous screaming session. I waited in place for a while to see if anything reacted to my cry for aid before shaking my head and walking towards another random location once more.
This was my life for the past hours, days, what have you. Walking among the trees of the most ominous forest I ever had the displeasure of traveling through while screaming for anyone to fucking help me. While occasionally stopping to rest and sleep. What even was my situation at this point? I had no idea where I was, no idea what I was , and the only thing I had resembling an answer was a flash of light, then a massive rainbow washing over my form as I stood frozen in my room.
As an added bonus I couldn't even see through most of the foliage present on the forest floor, that meaning I had no hope of spotting civilization if it wasn't within a twenty feet radius around me. Then there was the other problem I was dealing with...
Pushing another bush of unknown origin away as best as I could. I didn't see a partially uncovered root in my path, and unfortunately, one of my legs was caught in its wooden grasp as I tumbled down into a painful fall directly on to my face. I was gonna feel that one in the morning. If there was going to be morning in the future for me.
'Fucking stupid root. Stupid tree. Stupid forest. Stupid... everything.' I couldn't help but think this was all a very bad dream, despite the fact I had multiple wounds and scratches on my body. Quite soundly proving this was all placed solely in plain old reality. Picking myself up, I slowly dragged myself into the most natural sitting position I could manage. I could lie to myself and say I was merely crouching, but that wouldn't solve the problem I was having in the slightest.
Heh, right... the other problem. I didn't have any answers or explanations, and any guesses I may have had would so undoubtedly be wrong I didn't even try. What I did have was what I was seeing with my own two eyes, and I didn't like what I saw. Instead of seeing normal human skin, I instead saw pure white fur covering every inch of my body. Instead of the two arms and legs of a human, I had the forelegs and hind legs of an animal. More specifically the forelegs and hind legs of a miniature horse, if the hooves I see are to be believed. In between my eyes, I could see a muzzle covered in the same pure white fur as the rest of my body. At the top of my vision, I could barely see the start of pale blue hair (mane?) and I could feel it end just above the start of my back (withers?).
I could also see something completely alien to me, wings. Smack dab on the sides of my body (barrel?) covered with pure white feathers. I couldn't really feel them all that much, I could move them with some focus of course. But it felt alien and strange, much like if an arm that was asleep woke up with full functionality and senses, but lesser... somehow. They also felt like I could use them as makeshift hands with what control I had felt nearly like how I moved my arms in my old body.
Shifting my position, I carefully spread them to their full length and touched them with my hooves. Almost immediately I could tell what was important and what needed removing. Moving with this alien instinct, I preened and cared for my wings. Picking out feathers that were damaged and not needed, while at the same time straightening unruly ones into the correct formation. It almost felt like treating my hair, but except for using a comb or similar tool, It was my teeth and hooves. It felt... strangely familiar, like riding a bike after ten years of doing the opposite without even thinking about it.
Once it felt like everything was in order, I shook them off and made to close them near my body. The same position they've been in the whole time I've been in this forest, before unfurling them again.
'Most animals with wings can fly, right?'
I took a few tentative flaps as the displaced wind blew away some leaves from beneath me. The motion caught me off guard, not due to it feeling alien or strange, but of how... natural it was. With more confidence, I started to flap a bit faster. With more displaced air throwing random junk found on the forest floor everywhere.
However, I stopped after a short while. I could barely walk with this new body. Never mind doing something impossible like flying. Plus it felt as though I was missing something as if I was a plane with no fuel. No need to hurt myself while doing something with them.
Sighing, I (carefully) stood up on all fours and started my trek into the forest once again. The sound of hooves hitting dirt the only sound I heard for miles. Which once again brought my mind back to the new body I was inhabiting.
With my mind's focus set I couldn't help but think back to some hours ago. Back to when I first realized how fundamentally changed, I was from my original self, the alien feeling of having six limbs instead of four, the shame and humiliation of not being able to stand up, the constant reminders from my subconscious that this wasn't right. Eventually, I just couldn't take it anymore and simply started screaming my frustrations into the unfeeling forest surrounding my now tiny form.
I... wasn't over it. I don't think I ever will be, but screaming out my frustration for a bit was better than just sitting there, frozen. Thinking 'this isn't happening.' over and over again like some broken machine. I liked to believe I was better than that, I could have a full-on panic attack later. Right now I just needed to get out of this forest before nightfall.
Finding another small clearing, I prepared myself for another dose of screaming for help in hopes of anybody hearing me. My throat was already killing me with how often I was doing this. Sadly, however, this was my best shot of having a chance of being rescued, short of magically learning how to fly. I'm just hoping whoever comes to rescue me doesn't run away after realizing I was indeed a taking miniature horse pegasus thing. Although I guess a miniature horse was called a pony. Not that I think ponies can talk but it was my best guess of what I was.
"He- Ack!" My voice cut out after a sharp pain ran across my throat.
Ow. Ok, no more screaming I guess. I could barely even whisper with how much my throat was burning.
*Snap*
My ears, now capable of moving by themselves, quickly shifted towards the sharp sound that echoed across the clearing. Adrenaline shot through my body, making it active and alert as I turned to face whatever the hell made that sound. My wings unconsciously spread as far as they could go to make myself look bigger.
All that I could see as I turned was leaves and foliage, what little light that passed the canopy above revealing little else. I scanned the area as thoroughly as I could. While my body may no longer be human, my mind sure as hell was, and it was working overtime as I looked for anything within the undergrowth.
I looked for a good while as I slowly started to calm myself down. 'It was probably a small animal passing through, like a bunny or something. Yeah, that's it. No need to worr-' I cut my train of thought as I managed to catch a bit of movement a little way to my right. It didn't look like much, just some twigs that could have been moved by the wind. But I wanted to be sure.
Focusing on that patch of space, it occurred to me that the so-called 'twigs' where shaped in a weird pattern. They way they were placed made it look like small triangles running in a mostly straight line, while at the ends curving inwards and out of sight.
They almost looked like teeth.
Making my actions look as casual as I possibly could. I turned around while tucking my wings away, facing directly away from what I saw.
Then with all my might, I jumped to the left. At the same time, I heard a rustling of a bush being vacated and a loud crash of what sounded like wood and leaves. Getting to my feet as fast as I could. I heard howls that we're far too close and all around me as the snaps of wood and bushes rang out for all to hear. Growls and yelps echoed in my ears, as the breath of whatever I dodged with my pathetic sidestep turned to face me.
I ran.
I don't know how long I've been running, the sun was now a bloody red as the sounds of wolves grew ever closer. My own labored breaths accompanying the sounds of my demise. My legs felt like lead as I pushed them, even more, to keep running. To stop was to die, and I didn't want that. Not now, and not ever.
I heard a growl from my right, I quickly raised my wings and used them to turn sharply to my left. I saw a glimpse of a wooden wolf barely miss its mark as the stench of rot and decay filled my mouth and nose. Almost as if whatever they eat just sat in there wooden stomachs after catching and eating their prey.
The main pack that was behind me lost some speed due to my unexpected left turn. They howled in what I could only guess was frustration as they started to pursue me once again, their large strides eating up what little distance I managed to make with my maneuver. Pain flared up in my legs as again I pushed them to run even faster than before.
I trampled over plant and dirt alike as I was chased by death in the form of putrid wooden wolves. My hoofsteps being trumped by the deafening sounds of timber splintering and breaking upon the forest floor. In the distance, all I saw was more forest and greenery, tears were freely running from my eyes as I desperately searched for anything to help me.
With my blurry vision, I saw something that gave me the tiniest bit of hope. A clearing, with no trees behind it. In other words my only way out. I steered myself towards it while making a mad dash to what I prayed to be a promise of safety.
I was risking it all here, the wolves were faster than me in a dead sprint. My destination didn't look far but the wolves were already gaining. The noises they made growing louder and more frenzied, sensing that the kill was near. I could feel their hot breath on the back of my legs as I neared the clearing. My heart was pounding in my ears as I felt my blood rush through me. I was almost there, I was almost nearly there!
Suddenly I heard the pack slow down as I neared the light of the clearing, their baying sounding like horrid laughter to my ears. I soon realized why.
The clearing was no clearing at all, just an open space leading to the edge of a cliff. I barely caught myself before I ran off the edge, wildly flapping my wings to help me bleed off some of my speed. Rocks and dirt sprayed from under me, with them falling down the cliff side. My eyes scanned the valley below, with me tracing a monsterous river filled with rushing rapids filled to the brim with jagged rocks just begging for someone to fall in to their death's.
I was stuck.
I stood still, shuddering as my legs could barely carry my own weight. The wind ran through my mane and outstretched wings as behind me stood the wolves from hell. Turning, I saw them make a perimeter around the overhang I was standing on, effectively cutting off any hope of escape.
"So. That's it then?" I couldn't help but say with shuddering breath. "Was this your plan all along you fucking dogs!? Lead me with false hope then crush it without m-mercy!?" My voice cracking near the end.
They merely stood in silence, what I assume was drool dripping from their wooden mouths. "ANSWER ME!" I yelled.
But none did.
We stood at an impasse, neither of us stepping forward. Eventually, however, a lone wolf parted with its pack. Its giant paws scratching the floor. It opened its massive maw, baring its teeth at me. I stared it down with all my will as It got closer and closer, it's growling growing ever louder.
I was petrified with fear, sweat poured off from me as I got an eyeful of the teeth of a true predator. Each fang longer than my own arm as its steps shook the ground beneath us. The smell was the worst though, blood and rot were aptly present as I swore that I could see chunks of meat hanging from its mouth. My whole body was shaking as the looming figure of my death drew ever closer.
I felt my tears run down my eyes as I grew more and more panicked. Was this the end? I get teleported to who knows where by who knows what, for reasons unknown? What did I do to deserve this? I didn't want to die, I didn't want to be torn apart limb from limb like a fucking animal! So I screamed, I yelled and I cursed at the creature responsable for my woes with all my might. "You think I'm scared of you, you ugly excuse of an art project!? What's with the wood you shit stain of a wolf!? Didn't have the guts to be made of meat you sack of sawdust!?" It could have been a trick of the light but I swore that it flinched a bit at that. "What!? You think you're so tough because you're about to eat a fucking pegasus pony!? If I had a fucking match stick I would have killed you a fucking hour ago!"
This time I knew it had flinched, as its eerie green eyes darted away from my gaze. What was going on? "Yeah that's right, run away you fucking poser of a wolf! Don't make me beat your ass you fucking coward!" As soon as I stopped scream for a moment, I knew something changed from within the hell wolf. I just knew something had happened, which was proven as I saw tears run down its eyes.
The wolf ran from the overhang, with the other wolves looking on in confusion as they slowly backed away from my position.
I took this opportunity to give them a final push. I didn't know what I was doing, but it was saving my goddamned life and I wasn't stopping now. "What, you think I don't see you there!? What? Too scared to come towards me? Come on! Don't have the guts to fight a fucking pony!?" I felt myself get braver as I shouted, it was like I was taking control of my own fate. Like I could do whatever I wanted if I just shouted hard enough.
The hell wolves looked teriffied. I smiled as I took a single step forward, with my wings outstretched. A cruel glare etched on my face "Come oooonn then! You wanted me so bad, well. HERE I AM!" Erupted from my throat, glaring at the beasts all the while.
Whatever I did, whatever was happening. It made the rest of the hell wolves break ranks, with most of them fleeing back into that cursed forest. Those who weren't scared off retreated when their pack mates left. With me laughing in glee right behind them.
'I-I was finally safe...'
What little false bravo I had cracked and shattered as cruel reality crashed back into my mind. My laughter morphing into the pitiful cries of a child as my whole body shook with stress and exhaustion. My legs gave out from under me as the last of my strength finally left me.
I sat there for a while, in disbelief of what I had done. My chest shook with long seeded exhaustion, my sitting position to much for my overtaxed body. I let myself fall down into the rocky floor. The most I could do after that was to turn my head towards the setting sun, the golden-red sunset illuminating my cliff and the valley below. The warm rays of the sun slowly luring me to sleep as the wind rushed through the trees.
As my eyes closed, I heard a quiet gasp from somewhere out in front of me. I didn't react as I was entirely out of fucks to give. Merely grunting at the intruder to go away, couldn't they see I was tired?
As my consciousness slipped away, I felt something grab me by my neck. With whatever it was placing me on their back. I felt myself being carried away by whatever had found me. With near silent flaps of wings the last thing I heard, before I finally fell into blissful unconsciousness.

Dude this is the first time I've seen somepony fight a pack of Timberwolves with words. This is beautiful and I hope for more chapters.
I... need more of this.
If you're ever looking for a beta, I'm available (though still a bit amateurish)
Aww poor wolves, they just wanted to play!
This one's got quite the mouth on them and isn't afraid to show it.
Blue on white Pegasus, huh? Will expectations be subverted and it will be a colt?
Keep going! ;)

You mean as opposed to most ponies being female or do you think that color scheme on pegasi is always female? Rumble, his brother, Soarin.
10189835
No, as opposed to "most transformation stories are male to female for some reason". Then again, we don't know this person's original gender anyways (and they ain't tellin').
poor wooden murder pupper
THE DOCTOR WILL SEE YOU NOOOOWWW!!
Hopefully this doesn't end with them just giving up and abandoning everything from their human life and identity.
Also if thry were placed there from the EoH being used on NMM then both Celestia and Luna owe them basically... everything given they destroyed someone's life. Hopefully they don't all just force or pressure them to be just a baby.

Rest now, My warrior
Rest now, your hardship is over
Live!

Timberwolf: *looks offscren* "This world is rated E, is he allowed to say those words?"

Timberwolf: "Well okay then..."
SURVIVAL TIP FOR RL
If faced with a pack of canines in the forest or in the open, whether wolf, coyote, or dog, if you have no immediate shelter DO EXACTLY THIS! Do not run, they will catch you. Do not turn your back, they will attack you. Stand your ground, or you die a most horrible death!
Ok I'm interested, well written and good so far.
Have any of you ever been scared off by a super aggressive goose or chicken? Animals FAR smaller and weaker than us and we would destroy them in a fight, but instead we run away like cowards. A smaller animal can absolutely intimidate a bigger animal if it's loud or aggressive enough. If you are ever surrounded by wolves, do exactly this, be as loud and aggressive as possible. Make yourself seem as ferocious and the wolves, unless they are desperate (starving or defending their young), will probably back down. DO NOT EVER RUN THEY WILL CHASE YOU!!!
