Fearless Home

Chapter 1

I opened my eyes. I noticed it was bright. I shielded my eyes from the sun and peered around. I was in a forest. No, the trees were in a grid pattern, an orchard maybe? Yes definitely an orchard, seeing how most of the trees had apples on them. I tried to recall how I got there. I stared with the basics. What is my name? Falspar. Where am I from? Well... um, I don't know. OK this is a bit weird. As I tried to recall the rest of my life I found with increasing certainty that I couldn't remember anything part from my name. I even had to check to see what type of pony I was. Pegasus. My ability to fly did not seem to be gone though. Also where did I learn what I was supposed to do in the event that I lost my memory? I was starting to freak out. To make matters worse when I checked my flank (that's right I couldn't even remember what my cutie mark was) it was blank apart from a nasty scar where it should be. "well fuck" I said to myself. When I got up I noticed a weight on my neck. There, around my neck, was a cardboard sign. It read "to a home with no fear".

I herd a large bang from my far right. I ran towards it not concerned for who or what I would find, hopefully a pony that could help. "Hello?" I yelled, "i need help". A few seconds later I literally ran into an orange mare. She was around as tall as I was and wore a annoyed expression on her face. "wha.. how did you get in here boy?" she said in a strong southern accent. " well I um.." I responded. "and whats that thing around your neck?" I gave her a confused glance. " 'to a home with no fear'? Whats your name son?" she asked indifferently. "I'm Falspar". "well Falspar do you mind telling me how you got onto my private property and why". " I honestly don't know... hey you never told me your name" " I'm applejack" she responded. "so um.. where am I?" " well your in sweet apple acres" "what is the date?" I asked sounding like an idiot. "you honestly don't remember anything do you" she said with a sad look on her face. " its may 27, 1" "the year 1?" I asked in shock. The statement caught me by surprise. In the next second I remembered the discord attack and that the years had been reset afterwords due to the importance of the event. "you look tired sugar-cube, ill get you some of my family's pie and you can rest here for a few days". "well thanks". I was thankful applejack had been so understanding given me being on her propriety without permission or explanation.

"hello!" she called as we entered a large red barn. "big mac?, applebloom? Granny smith?" she yelled into the seemingly empty barn. " applejack why are you home so early?" a large red clot appeared from behind a stable. " and who is this, he does know that we ain't open right now?" applejack smiled as she introduced us. "big Macintosh meet Falspar, Falspar meet my brother big Macintosh." We shook hooves, " you can call me big mac" he said with an accent similar to applejack's " nice to meet you" I responded. I got a shot of pain through my heart as I realized that I could have a family, did I have brothers, sisters, a girlfriend? I didn't know. I started to break down. I fell on my knees but I wasn't crying, I refused to. " you OK Falspar?" they asked at the same time. I started to pant. Applejack started to pat my back. As she attempted to calm me she filled big mac in on my story. " he didn't even remember the year" was all I herd her say as I started to black out.

I woke up in a hospital. I didn't know how I got here but I assumed that applejack and her brother had brought me here. I rolled over. There at my side was a purple unicorn. "ugh" "hey you're awake" she said with a smile on her face. "I'm twilight sparkle and you must be Falspar" she said. "how long have I been asleep?" " two hours, do you know what made you faint?" " yes" "well what was it?" she asked concerned. I tried to avoid the subject. "has applejack filled you in yet?" I asked. " yes, its called amnesia, I have herd of cases but never accusaly met a victim, according to my books you will have a lot of fainting spells during the next few weeks due to emotional stress" I smiled awkwardly. She seemed to be a smart cookie. " do you know if I will get my memories back?" I asked hopeful. " you might but it may take years to recover or you might not at all" she wore a sorry look on her face. I looked around the room. Me and twilight were the only ones in there. A sign above the door read "ponyville non-critical ward, room 410". "But I don't think you will recover Falspar" she whispered. "and why is that?" "well you see being your age you should have your cutie mark but you are a blank flank, eqestria keeps an account of all cutie marks to identify criminals and bodies and it takes high end technology to remove one, magic cant do it at all. I think someone did this to you and doesn't want you to remember who you are" she was careful with saying this. "wait a second, you're the twilight sparkle that defeated discord and nightmare moon, you're the element of magic, so that means that the applejack I met was-" " the element of honesty, yes" she interrupted. "you remember that?" she asked. " well yeah, shouldn't I " " its just that no one seems to know who I am" " you did save the world twice" " I know, also you seem to remember major events but not your own life, in fairly sure that someone did this to you." " but why?" I asked "well I'm going to help you figure out why. Once your fainting spells stop you can come live with me, I have a spare room that you can use, what do you say?" " why not" I said with a smile.
