//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: Epic Quest // by dorianator //------------------------------// I am here. I am now. That's all I can remember. Not who I am. Not where I am. Wait, where am I? What... What's happening? Where am I? WHAT am I?! ... ... ... Wh-who am I...? Wait. I can hear something. "He.....o....?" What? What did they say? "H.....ll........oooo..?" Hello? Who's there? "Anypony.....there.....?" ... Suddenly my eyes snap open. A bright glare fills my vision and I instinctively shield myself from the light. "Hello?" asks a feminine voice. "Are you okay? You look wiped." As my eyes start to adjust to the light, I sit up and take a look around. I'm in a wide field. There are flowers everywhere. In front of me stands a purple unicorn with an even darker mane with a hint of blue and two streaks in it. One pink, the other a lighter purple. I can't make out much more. My mind is fuzzy, so it's hard to make much of anything out. "Hello? Equestria to Mystery Pony? Anypony home?" she yelled, waving a hoof in front of my face. I tried to reply, but I couldn't find the words, or ANY words for that matter, and only ended up stuttering. "Hm..." the unicorn thought, tapping her chin. "Well, it doesn't seem like you're in great condition, and it doesn't seem like you can talk either..." As she started thinking to herself, I rose to my hooves. Slowly and shakily, as if I was a newborn. I took a look at myself as best as I could. I have two wings. A silver coat. A black-and-blue striped tail. Then I started to lose balance. I slipped on the grass beneath my hooves, but the unicorn noticed and caught me before I hit the ground. I quickly scrambled back to my hooves as she supported me with her side. "Wow, you really are wiped, huh? Been to one of Pinkie's parties latley?" the unicorn joked. "Why don't we head back to Ponyville? You could rest up at my house if you like." I simply nodded in response. "By the way," she continued, "my name is Twilight Sparkle. Pleased to make your aquaintance!" "Hey, maybe you can stay with me until you get back on your feet!" she laughed, putting emphasis on her little pun. So we walked. Through the field. Through Ponyville. Everything went by so fast. Before I knew it, we had arrived at Twilight's house. It looked like a large tree, outfitted with the things a normal house would have, but it was a LOT cooler. Multiple stories, elegant design. This seemed to have it all. She led me in and I got a look at the inside. Books. Lots and lots of books. Like a library of some sort. "So, this is where I live! Make yourself at home. You can lie down on a couch if you like. I'll show you to the living room" With that, we made our way through the house. It was very nice. Comfortable and stylish. I wish I lived here. "Here we are! Sorry it's such a mess. I thought I told Spike to clean all this up before I left..." she said in a frustrated tone. "I've got to go find him. Call me if you need anything. Well, given you can speak again." As Twlilight trotted out of the room, I slowly walked over to a fairly sized purple couch. This unicorn must really be into purple. I sat myself down on it, lowered my head onto a purple cushion, and fell instantly into a deep sleep. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Well, this is the first "chapter" of my little story. Wrote an introduction the whole thing. I know it's short, but it's my first fanfic, so please bear with me. Don't worry, everything should come back to our character in the next chapter. In the meantime, tell me what you thought so I can decide wether or not to continue this story. Until then, stay epic!
