Everything was going on really fast.
For a second I was in the air, and at the other second I felt the taste of ground and grass in my mouth. I spitted and hardly I could get up despite of the pain. All my body was burning and I was surprised for just having some scratches. My heart was beating like if it wanted to get out of my chest, but I didn't know what to do or where to hide.
And however, in the only thing I was thinking of was flying… Hide in a cloud and wait that the royal guard couldn't see me. But when I tried to fly, I felt such pain that was impossible to describe that made me gasp of pain and get back to the grass.

"Crap…" I muttered while trying to not going into shock.

I broke the wing with the crash. The arrow that made me lose my balance was still here, nailed. I put it out with my snout as I could, which only made the pain worse and better at the same time, but it wouldn't cure my wing. My wing was bleeding and it was starting to swell. Perceive the smell of my own blood made me sicken. I thought I was about to faint If I didn't heard the voice I heard from the far.

"Where did she go?"

The crowd of voices was able to be heard closer and closer. I was trying to normalize my own breathing and I dragged myself until I could hide back of some shrubbery that, happily for me, they didn't had prickles…

"With her injured wing, she won't be able to go so far…" Other guard answered.
"Everypony, examine the ground! Search even under the rocks and IN the threes if necessary!" The general ordered.
"Yes sir!"

And I heard how everypony was dispersing for search.
Even if I was turning the matter I wasn't able to understand how I finished in this situation. Just some minutes ago I was in the castle with Princess Celestia drinking the tea. Why did she react in the way she did? What did happen…? And… why did she do it? WHY!?
I glanced to my backpack not knowing how I feel. This was an open secret. Wouldn't be a lot easier for her and for everypony if she censor it since the start?
I waited for a minutes in the same position, in silence, hoping that no guard saw me. I saw everypony going far and far away, everypony was really tense and, some of them, scared, but trying to keep calm.
It was just in the moment I started to feel dizzy that I noticed two things: One, I wasn't breathing. And two: I did nothing to stop the bleeding of my wing. I breathed deeply while I was trying to bind up my wing the fastest and cleanest I could do. At the same time, I was biting my lip in an attempt to keep me aware of what was going on. I couldn't let me be an easier prey.
The moment that I thought there was nopony around arrived. I pocked my head above the shrubberies. There was no ponies' soul but the air moving kindly the treetops. It was safe to move.
But when I tried to get up and go, I felt something squashing my tail, followed of a gloomy voice that said:

"I got you"

Shaking, I looked to my captor. Yes, he was a royal guard.
How am I going to get out of this now?
"So, you were the one who tried to kill Princess Celestia all by herself?"

I didn't know how to answer. All I did was to put my tail free of his crushing and go backwards all that I could, but the royal guard was follow my hoof steps

"Poor girl… I don't understand…" He said with sadistic humor "Who would be so stupid to attack princess Celestia being alone?"
"That was exactly the same that I thought…" I said with such shaking voice that I couldn't believe it was mine. What did happen to all my bravery? "I didn't do anything…"

But I knew he didn't believe me. I wasn't expecting that he could believe in me either.

"And why princess Celestia herself would mint something like that?" He inquired totally incensed as he cornered me against logs. "Are you hinting that she just cried and threw herself to the floor pretending that you attacked her?"
"T-that was exactly what did happen…!"
"You are an insolent!"

The next thing I felt was how he hit me in my cheek. I saw him not know how I should react. I wouldn't be able to defend myself even if I try.

"What is that?" His head was turning a bit and he was squinting, as if he was trying to look at something better. He was looking at my backpack.

I tried to hide my backpack with my healthy wing, as if it was to avoid him. But after struggles and whining he snatched up it and everything ended in the grass…

"What is this?" He asked. Obviously, the things in my backpack weren't the stuff he was expecting.

Books, notes, photos in black and white, sepia and in color (something weird in Equestria) with critters that all the ponies still believe that doesn't exist…

"These are h-humans?" He stuttered "B-but that's not possible…" He looked at me with his abashed glance. "WHAT IS THIS!?"

The fury and confusion in his eyes were irrefutable. I didn't know how to react. Finally, somepony else aside of me and Princess Celestia saw strong evidence that the human being were real. My work was part done, but I just could think in some way to escape. I'm useless at magic, but I was searching for something in the woods that could hit the guard and distract him or stun him.

"I can't believe this, Golden Feather…" He spelled my name and he started to ramble, having her eyes nailed in my proofs that I was living with human beings in some place far from Equestria. "You really did it. You found them…"

And also I found the object that would help me to get out of here. It was a huge dead branch. I took it with my magic as fast as I could. It was really heavy. The poor guard stills abashed and full of questions, but I didn't let him finish them. I started to put my stuff in its place as fast as I could at the same time I hit him in his head with all my strength.
The guard fell to the grass. He didn't faint, but he was stun. I started to run away with all the forces my legs were able to, not knowing where to go or hide. For the first time, I didn't know where I will go. The forest was full of tall and strong trees and the sun was beginning to hide. Soon, there will be no sunlight to see. Soon, the guards will leave the forest and I'll be safe of them. Soon the guards will leave the forest and I'll be alone with dangerous wild animals.

I suddenly stopped and hide back of some trees. Some guards were just ahead.

"Guys, this is useless…" One of the guards said. "She's gone."
"We can't go with Princess Celestia and say that she escaped us!" Other guard objected totally frustrated. "She'll put in a fury!"
"Fine, then tell me, how do you pretend to find her in the middle of darkness?"
"W-well… I…"
"Also, she's an alicorn" He said as if it was an advantage for me. "Maybe she just teleported to her hiding place…"
"Sure she did" Said other guard. "But… wait… Something is moving in that way!"

I felt a lot of glanced into my direction.
The sweat began to run down my forehead and I felt I was shaking like jelly. I didn't feel with forces to still running or struggling. I had gone on a long flight from the human world to Princess Celestia's castle instead of giving me a break. I felt like I could faint in any moment.
I heard them coming closer and I didn't know what to do.

"It's just a squirrel!" Another guard exclaimed.
"False alarm… Let's search for the others and then go back to the castle…"
"Yes sir!"

And then they went away.
I couldn't believe my good luck. I looked at the squirrel that came out of the shrubberies and I didn't know how to thank her for being the lure. I had some nuts in my backpack and I let them in the grass. The squirrel looked at them, smelled them, put them in her cheeks and then she ran away as fast as she came here.
I looked around me. There was no "penguins in the iceberg" (This was the worst analogy I've ever written).
I started to walk, trying to orient me and thinking in a lot of things at the same time. Of what I would do from now on that the royal guard is looking for me. Of what I would do if I stay here in the forest with no light…. And where I would go now…
Then I reminded the Equestria's map in my backpack. I get it out. It was full of stains of fruits and mud but it still was legible, but I have to get another one later…
If I'm not wrong, I'm on the Everfree Forest (I gulped when I reminded all the foal stories that were told about this place). If I walk a bit, I would arrive to Ponyville and search for a place to stay tonight. And, if I can, search for a doctor to heal my broken wing. The notices that the royal guard is looking for me will take time to be totally public.

"Ponyville… Ponyville… Ponyville…" I repeated the name of the village as it helps me to remind stuff. There was something in that town that was strangely familiar.

I don't remember to be here lately. (Even if I can say I know Equestria like my own hooves. Or, at least, it's most important archaeological cities). Then, I reminded, I have a friend who lives in Ponyville. Maybe she can help me.
But I have to rush. I was about to get dark and I run away from oil for the lamps. I won't have a way to look where I walk if Celestia finishes her work and lets Princess Luna do hers.
