I decided for this chapter to put Zecoras point of view into perspective and show why she was in the forest in the first place and, instead of dropping off afterwards like I did in the other chapter I continued after the events of the last chapter so enjoy!

Just moments before

"I really need to find this kava so that I may go home and drink some java" Zecora said speaking to herself. Zecora was searching through the forest for an herb called the kava. It is used to brew a drink that can be used as a sedative or an anesthetic. She was searching for this plant because Fluttershy needed another refill so that she could take care of her animals, well she thought they aren't exactly her animals she just takes care when one falls. She chuckled at the thought then proceeded to look for the kava.

As she passed through a few trees she finally found what she was looking for, the kava leaf is a bowl shaped leaf with a slope leading to the bottom where the stem is and it was fairly easy to spot the green plant in the dark because the trees, and ground surrounding it were a dark grey and brown. As she reached down to collect her findings, she heard a sudden explosion that sounded as if Rainbow Dash herself was a few meters away, and pulled off a sonic rainboom. "What was that sound that so greatly shook the ground?" She said to herself. Se gathered up the bit of kava that she found before departing to find the source of the disturbance.

As she followed where she heard it come from, she came upon a small clearing with a pony laying down on its back seemingly unconscious. Upon closer inspection she could see that it was wearing what looked like, an old cloak that was a dark grey and was tattered and torn around the body and head areas.

This isn't the first thing that Zecora saw on this pony though, the thing that was brought to her attention first, was that this ponys legs were bent in a way that they shouldn't have been able to he is damaged I do concur perhaps I should see if he will stir? She thought as she moved towards the strange figure of the pony and slowly, brought her hoof to the ponys chest to see if it was alive. As a response she felt the steady beat of a living heart.

She lightened her somewhat worried expression good, this pony did not turn out as some predators food then she decided to closer examine its body. She determined, that he was a "he," not an "it". Then reluctantly, she gently prodded at his back left hoof to see if he would stir, and she was rewarded with his eyes jolting open as if she had struck him why did I feel compelled to prod this colt and move his body with such a jolt? She regretted as she watched him, he slowly stared at the moon, then to his left staring at some trees he was suddenly blinking his eyes as if something shocked him. Then slowly and reluctantly looking to his right at some more trees, as if scanning his surroundings to take in the situation.

When his eyes finally came to rest on Zecora, she decided to speak up "Sorry for your hooves that I did shake, but I had to check if you would wake." She said calmly trying to think of what to do with this colt. He seemed to try and open his mouth only for his eyes to close in pain "Please do not try and move or your consciousness you will lose." She said urgently still trying to think of what to do, finally deciding that she would carry him back to her hut and tend to his injuries "If your injuries I do not tend, your bones and cuts will not mend" he responded with a questioning look but, before he could ponder it more, Zecora decided to carry him back to her hut. Even though she tried carefully, he still lost consciousness. What am I to do to him for his future is looking very grim she decided to move on her way and quickened her pace hurrying back to her hut.

The Next Day

As he slowly stirred into consciousness, he registered that once again he had trouble opening his eyes, but instead of his body being unresponsive he was rewarded with his eyes slowly and reluctantly opening. He took a moment to take in his surroundings. While doing so he saw he was in a hut of some sort looks like I am in some kind of witchdoctors hut he finally decided upon seeing some strange looking masks against the opposite wall. He tried to contemplate what kind of creature lived in this hut when suddenly what happened the night before came rushing back to him I wonder where that strange pony went? he thought while deciding to get some more rest and regain his energy.

Sometime later he was abruptly woken by the sound of a door closing. As he opened his eyes to look over he saw the strange pony from before, but she was not wearing the cloak from the night before and to his surprise she turned out to be a zebra not a pony. She had a black and white mane that stuck up in a line pointing up from her head, around her neck was some sort of spring necklace and her cutie mark was a strange spiral surrounded by small triangles huh, I don't think I have ever seen a zebra before.

That stray thought, is what brought on his sudden panic. Wait a second, have I ever seen a zebra before? Come to think of it what is a zebra? How do I know what a zebra is? Who am I anyway? I don't even know who I am! he thought with a sudden panic. Seeing this Zecora quickly appeared at his side with a worried expression on her face "do not strain yourself to move, if it is in strength you have nothing to prove" he briefly wondered what she meant strength…? He thought before eyes widening, he came to a sudden conclusion I could not move my body the night before so what condition is it in? He decided to try and look down at his body but his effort was in vain, because without the use of his neck he could not see his body.

Seeing his strain Zecora decided to tell him "your body is in a bad condition, if you were wondering how it was then you should listen" she paused before continuing "extreme pain would be your demise if not for the kova that I derived" he decided not to push the subject because it would only cause more bad then good.

After he finally calmed down, Zecora decided that he should get some food to help him regain his energy. Using the last of her vegetables for the month she made a carrot, corn and green bean stew. After carefully spoon feeding it to him, she decided to let him get some rest and head into ponyville to restock on her monthly supplies and check in on her friends. As she left the last thing on her mind was what had happened in the month that she had been gone.

What happened in ponyville? Well to find out you will have to wait until the next chapter!
