Prophesy of the return:

Fire Ice and Storm

The three forces of the Earth

Of one shall decide the final Form.

Three heroes shall answer the Call

One shall Stand

The second shall fall, and the third will Brawl.

An ancient Evil that has once been Silenced

Shall rise Again

From the ashes of an Alliance.

The Humans Journey

Sometimes, in life, things happen to you. Whether you like them or not is entirely up to you. Sometimes, you hate it at first and then you learn to love it. I think what happened to me was a good thing for the most part. However, why don't you decide for yourself.

I was walking in the park when it happened: a sort of buzzing. Like what you hear coming off a car radio whose owner has too much time on their hands. It was like I was standing outside a nightclub. I could practically feel the buzzing coming from somewhere out in the park.

At first, I tried to ignore it; but, it got to me eventually. I looked around and saw other people walking, seemingly unaffected by it.

I started making my way towards it, using my ears and, to some extent, my hands. What I found was something only out of imagination.

It was a shining, golden ball of light with ribbons of color streaming through it.

I wanted to back away, but I couldn't. It was drawing me towards it. I could feel myself walking towards it. Each step, harder to resist than the last. When I got to it however, I gained a sudden moment of clarity.

'What was I doing here? Why was I about to do this?' I asked myself.

As I gazed upon it, something started creeping into my mind: an intense curiosity, one that hadn't been there before. Just to make sure, I pulled out my phone and sent a text to my sister, telling her I would be home shortly.

I reached toward the sphere, hesitant to touch it outright, and poked it. Nothing. I poked it again. Nothing. Out of pure spite of common sense, I placed my entire palm on it.

I was met with an almost unbearable pain. I felt a buzzing in my ears and managed to open my eyes. I was in a tunnel with the same complexion as the sphere. I was also looking at a mirror image of myself.

As I looked at it, it opened it's eyes. They appeared to be a pure blue with no irises.

"You have accepted the gift, now watch as your body takes the consequences." It stated.

Then the thing started changing. It's...my, red hair gained on an almost fiery aspect. My shirt and shorts tightened as my body grew taller and wider. My arms and legs started developing muscles and toning them. My feet looked like they wanted to break out of my sandals. All the while, I could feel it happening.

All over, I felt hot and exhausted. My mind felt like mush and I could barely keep my eyes open.

After what felt like forever, the tunnel opened up and I rushed towards the end.

I fell out of it and landed quite hard on a dirt road.

As I was sitting up and rubbing my head, I was looking around. What first hit me was how primitive the place looked. Everything looked like it was from the dark ages. The second thing to hit me was the inhabitants; what appeared to be mutated, technicolor, miniature horses. Many of them giving me looks of not giving a crap.

Despite this, I panicked. I ran out of the town as quickly as I could. I ran for what felt like hours. I eventually came upon what appeared to be an apple farm.

"Good thing horses can't climb trees." I said to myself as I came to rest by one. I didn't feel all that tired, surprisingly. As I looked over my body, I noticed something.

On my wrists were pure blue, paper thin shackles that were just large enough for me to not be able to cover them completely with my hands if I held them, over them.

"If I am not dreaming, someone's going to regret whatever it is that they did to me." I griped to myself.

I looked up to see the sun setting. I climbed up the nearest tree and got comfortable for the night, confident that the weird horses couldn't get to me up here.

Applejack's POV (Morning after)

"Morning Granny, Applebloom, Big mac." I said to my family as I gave each of them a nod, respectively.

"Good morning, Applejack." They said in unison.

"Hey sis! Did you hear about the funny lookin diamond dog that was seen in town yesterday?" Applebloom asked me.

"No, I didn't hear nothing about that." I answered. I looked to Big mac.

"Well they said it ran into the orchard." Applebloom told me.

I raised an eyebrow at her. "What? I'm just telling you what I heard from the other ponies." She whined.

"Be careful." Big mac said, surprising me.

"You're still going into town?" I asked him.

"Yup." He answered. He picked up his bowl and put it in the sink, then walked out the door to get hitched to the cart.

"Well, I'll be off then." I told Granny and Applebloom.

"Aren't you going to eat anything?" Granny asked me.

"Naw, I'm not hungry right now. I'll come in for a snack, later." I told her. She just nodded.

I made my way out of the house towards the section of orchard I would be working on today.

"I hope it isn't in here." I mumbled to myself. I wasn't scared, it was just that, where one diamond dog was, a pack wasn't far behind.

Before I bucked my first tree, I looked around to make sure nothing was around here. I set up the baskets I had placed here yesterday, in their positions.

I gathered my strength and kicked the tree. Apples started falling out, but I heard another noise. I heard somepony yell something and then it all went dark.

A/N: This is a rewrite of the first chapter. I will probably do one for all the chapters before my break. Mostly because I hated the first few chapters of this story. It showed quite obviously how bad I was at writing and I didn't like it. Since the original posting of this chapter, I have gotten much better (hopefully, I feel better), so I wanted to give this story the writing it deserved. Since I am done with arc one, I can focus on it without having to worry about accidentally changing too much. I hope everyone likes the rewrite (I won't change any major plot points, just give it an upgrade in quality). See ya on the flip side (still not doing the accents). (Yes, the prophecy is there for a reason. It just won't come into play until the second arc. And yes, it sucks.)
