> The Story of Star; Just the Beginning > by Earthstar > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter One~ Heading For The Town of Ponyville, Whatever That Is... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earthstar Point of view- Entry One It has been a few weeks since I first woke up that fateful day, with my head pounding, cloudy with odd shaped scars on my body, with the glowing full moon above me and the hungry howls of were-wolfs all around me, closing in as time wore on. Or least I think it has been, but then again, my head was clouded and messed up for at least a week or so. But even now, when I can think some-what straight and clear, put my thoughts in order and am more aware of my surroundings, I am not even sure what happened. Which might be one of the reasons why I am writing this this in the first place. Or rather, telling what I know of my story, and what happens from now on. I don't want to forget again, not like last time, and if I do, here it is, each event as it happened, as well as the went and the day it was entered. At least I hope I wont forget, but who knows what could happen between now and then. Anyways, I guess I should explain what I know so far, which isn't much but would be helpful. My name is Earthstar, or so I am told, so I am just going o go with it. I rather like it, and I think it fits me well then any other I could pick out myself. I am what they call....urm... Ali- something, but it means I have both wings and a horn. I don't know how to use either, nor have I tried magic yet. Which might be a good thing. All I woke up with was a necklace, old and the ribbon burned and tattered, but I have fixed it up and wear it even now, the gem about the size of.... something gem sized. I also am having trouble remembering, and with what I know, like I know something's, while others, like what a bed was or what a 'Bath' is, or the term 'Love' is beyond me. I hope to find out as I travel and see the..,. 'World' was it?.... Yea. As I travel and see the world, I hope to learn more about it, as well as the ponies who live in it. So I have decided to visit a nearby town, something that starts with Pony.... Pony or Filly or something, to try and find some answers that will help me find who or what I a, what I was. Hopefully I can find a place to stay while I am there, one that wont ask question's about me or where I came from...... That's the last thing I need right now....... But I don't mind sleeping in a tree if need be, or in a alleyway. That's all I know for now and I wi- My thoughts are interrupted, as thought I heard movement nearby the tall old tree I was under, as I slowly close the open book in my Hoofs, its pages old with time as I slowly rise to stand. My eyes look around me with fear, as I hear a snap of a branch and the rustle of leaves. I freeze up as my eyes dart to where the sound was, my head in the same place. The wind tussles the leaves, as I wait, not convinced it was just the wind moving the leaves with its soft fingers. 'If its not the wind, then what is it?' I wonder to myself, as I hear a crunch and the rustling of leaves growing faint, as if someone was moving closer slowly. Of course, me being me, I move a bit to the side, changing my point of view as to get a better look, but found.... Nothing. 'But...Something... I know I heard it t-' The rustling of leaves grew even more, the air around me growing colder. I shivered slightly as I slowly back up and grab my book, fluttering my wings lightly as the cold began to move away from me, heading southward, or at least I think it was. 'What is this? Why....Why is it so....Cold...W-Why?' I wonder as I move on slowly, though the bushes and vines. All around me was forest, healthy and alive, the leafs on the trees where a dark green, as they move and rustle as I walk by. The bushes where the same, abloom with flowers I didn't know the names of, making the air smell pure and clean as I take a deep, calming breath. 'Its a nice here.... If only I knew the name of the place, or where I was....' I though as I walk along, following the cold, tingling feeling slowly, as if it was calling me somewhere, somewhere....Important.... 'Come.....Come, Green one.......Follow me...' Was heard faintly, as smooth as running water as the leaves rustled above me with the light sound. I stop and rubbed my ears a few times, not sure if I had heard a voice or not-- or if it was just the wind playing tricks on me-- but it was for sure making me second guess my choice of following.... This...This......Whatever this was... ''Come......Follow....Follow....Closer.... ' I Shiver as the feeling grows greater, a chill down my spine as I make my way to.... well, I am not even sure where I was headed. The air around me grows even colder still as I follow the unseen force guiding me. My hoofs hit the soft ground with a slight thump each time, my brown mane getting tussled every which way, the dark blue tips almost to the ground as they are now blown in my Golden eyes as I try push back the bushes blocking my view. I then gasp as I do, in awe at what I saw. I saw the blurry, shimmery form of...... Me?! > Chapter Two~ Finding.... Me? Or is It? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I froze up, a version of me starring back with the same golden eyes, the same confused look on her face as there was on mine, everything in place and looking just. Like. Me. As I then slowly reached out to try and touch her, I then saw her do the same, which made me jump back in alarm, a yelp coming from my lips. I saw her do the same, but the thing was, I heard nothing came out. I tilt my head and look closer, as the shimmery head of the other does the same, as I tilt my head slightly to the left. She had on the same odd necklace, the gem pulsing as I then looked down at mine, to which I found the same thing. This is where I started to panic, what was this thing? And why did it look like me? Down to my very mane.... 'Come, don't worry Green one...... Come...' said the odd voice once again, as I then looked around, then at the other me. "Y-You? Are you saying this?" I asked, only to find she said the same thing! Just nothing came out. What was this other me? Some power I didn't know about? Which, by the way, I got a lot of. Trust me... 'Green one.... walk..... Come...' the voice mutters as I stare at myself, as it ripples. 'What is this?' I mutter to myself as I reach out to touch it, and hit something..... wet. Something cold ran down my hoof as I shook my head as I move my hoof, splashing the wet stuff, as behind it I see darkness. A.. Hole? 'Come, its just..... Water...... Walk through green one....' said the cool voice, one to match what I felt, inside and on my hoof. I didn't know what it was, but... maybe this....'wa`ter?' What if this is the name, like the voice said? I didn't know what it was but added the word, as I stared at this, Wa-ter. I then slowly push my hoof in deeper, then shiver as I push my head in, and feel great as it pours over my head, a smile on my face. "Water.... I-I like this..." I said with a smile. If this was what the world was like, I think I was starting to like it more.....
