Chapter #2: beginning a new
First person: Corbin
All I could see was darkness it was so bad that I couldn't see my hand in front of my face if it was or not" so this is what death is like, but it's still better than being at that house o'well" as I shrugged
"This is not death young one" said a voice piercing throw the darkness
"Who is there are you the one who brought me here" I questioned the voice as I tried to make out where it was coming from in the dark this is really starting to creep me out
"Yes I'm the one who brought you hear from where you were about to parish and as for the who I am you will find that out in due time little one" she said to me in a mysterious tone I now found out that the being that I was a female do to the tone of her voice
'what is with all the secrets with her' I thought "why can't I know who you are" I said still trying to figure out where she is in the darkness it's like she is everywhere "ugh"
"The reason that I don't reveal who I am is so that I don't want to over whelm you" she said still being mysterious as hell
"Pray tell how the sight of you over would whelm me" still trying to get answers instead of more questions
"You will find out soon enough" still not answering my question
"By the way I think your time here is up, also find somepony named zecora she will help you when you get up" she said
"What did you just say somepon…" was all I could say before a bright light blinded me and then a pain started to shot it way up my spine like fire telling me that I was alive
"Ugh… light to bright" I said as I tried to open my eyelids but was unfortunately was met with the glaring light of the sun
As I started to move my limbs I was met with a searing pain that felt as if I was hit by a truck or something like that it hurt really bad. After that I realized wasn't breathing this whole time and quickly breathed in and was met with the smell of flowers and ash
'That's a strange combination of smell' I thought as I breathed in the scents around me and started to hear a faint snoring near me at least two of them I tried to open my eyes to see who was sleeping near me. As I started to open them the light that met me wasn't as bad as before do to my eyes adjusting to the light as I was lying down on grass I think because it was soft but there was something that was warm and felt slick an a little scaly
'What scaly' I thought as my eyes bursted open to meet with the sight of purple scales rigging across a chest
"Ahhhhhh" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I desperately tried to push myself away from the scaly chest only to be met with an agonizing pain in my back but persevered to get free. As I did the scaly stranger started to stir as I pushed away it felt strange when I moved my limbs besides the pain it felt like my front limbs were on backwards and extremely furry like an animals
I looked down at them and if I wasn't freaked out enough already I Shure was now as I was met with the sight of green fur and hooves as I saw this, my eyes widened I started to scream even louder after I saw that. At this point the scaly creeker started to get up in to a sitting position. As I was about five feet away from it I had a pretty good view of it now it was apparently a dragon that was about the same size as normal human or how tall I would be if I was still human. It had purple scales running down its underside and black ones every, were else on its body excepted for the small spikes running down its spine that were the same as the ones on its belly.
'Oh great a dragon as if anything could get worse' I thought well that is going to bite me in the butt later as I soon found out.
"What who is screaming?" she said while looking away from me in a slightly drowsy voice and rubbing her eyes then yawning showing her razor sharp teeth from the side of her mouth
'ok so it's a female guessing from that voice I just hope it doesn't eat meat" was the only thing I could think if as there was a real live dragon in front of me waking up from it slumber
Then as if it had a terrible realization as if it lost something it started to look around were it was as it eyes started to tear up and did the last thing I would expect it to do
"Corbin where are you" she yelled while cupping her hands around her mouth. My eyes became the size of dish plates as this surprised the crap out of me and I started feel like as I recognized her voice. Then it dawned on me the dragon was my mom.
"Mom?" I said with a little worry and fear showing on my face as I looked up at her still in shock from my realization a moment ago.
As she turned around slowly I could the river of tears that were running down her face from her red eyes and her happy expression of hers turn to that of a shocked one at seeing me I only wondered what I looked like in her eyes cause there was no way for me to see my face I snapped back to reality as she said my name.
"Corbin?" I could hear the shock in her voice as she asked that in my direction as I sat there on my butt or whatever it is called now.
"Yes mom it's me" as so as I said that we both try to get up and run over to each other and embrace the other in a loving hug but was met with me falling flat on my muzzle I think it's called since I have hooves I must be some kind of horse. As for my mother she ended up trying to get herself up by using her newly acquired arms and slowly got herself on to her feet and made her way over to me but the inevitable happened and she tripped on a rock that was in the way and landed on me. I groaned in pain as she did ugh it feels like a boulder landed on me.
"And I thought you were heavy before mom" I said and started to laugh
"You're not so post to make fun of your parents you know" she said before she got up off of me and picked up into a bone crushing hug literally as I heard a sickening crack and felt pain flare up from my chest.
'Note to self never annoy my mother again' I thought as I fell to the ground as she let go after hearing the cracking as well looking down at the ground and coiffed a little and saw there was a bit of blood on the grass.
"oh know are you ok honey I did mean to do that I don't know my own strength" she tried to plead to me as she got down on her knees and pulled me into a lighter hug kissing me repeatedly on my forehead
"Ugk mom stop its ok I know you didn't mean it but next time try to use some restraint ok" I said trying to get to stop kissing me on the for head an before I knew it she yelped in pain
"Mom are you ok did you hurt yourself?" I ask a little worried at her sudden yelp
"Yes I'm fine I just poked my nose on this thing sticking out of your head" as she pointed to the spot on my head were it was with a claw on her hand
"What really I have a horn what else do I have" I asked with the excitement of a little kid in a candy store
"Ok ok son I'll tell you let me just get a good look at you first" she said with a little chuckle then looked at me
"Ok you have a tail, horn and wings you have emerald green hair all you're your body excepted for your tail and the hair coming out of the back of your head which is red it look like it's on fire, also you still have your light green eyes that I gave you" she said with a smile and kissed me on the forehead again
As she finished telling me what I looked like I look to my back to see that I indeed had wings they were the same emerald green as my fur but were feathers instead. I tried to move them from their folded position on my side but I couldn't move them more than an inch before I winced from the pain and folded them back up to where they were.
'I have to find someone who can fix then' I thought looking back at my mom
"Now then why don't you tell me what I look like since it only seems fare since I have no way of knowing how I look other than having claws?" she said with a curious tone in her voice and razing what I presumed to be an eye brow.
"Ok you are a black dragon with purple scales running down your chest also you have purple spines running down your back and your tail plus you have wings as well I didn't see those before" I said as I looked at her back feeling stupid for not seeing them before
"You probably didn't see then then because you were more preoccupied with me getting off of you after I fell" she said trying to hold back a snicker
"Oh hahaha very funny mom" while I rolled my eyes at her and smiled
"I'm just glad you're ok mom" as I tried to wrap my fore legs around her and surprisingly did 'she is a lot skinnier as a dragon than she was as a human' I thought as my front legs were wrapped around her chest
"I am glad you're ok to honey" as see wrapped her arms around me again but much gentler than last time and we sat there for a good two seconds before hearing an annoyed grown from some were around us and we let go of each other
"Was that you Corbin?" she asked while looking at me
"Nope it wasn't me mom" I said Just as confused as she was
"Do you know what that was" she asked looking around were we where
"your guess is as good as mine mom" I said before starting to look around as well apparently we were in a small field with flowers all around also with trees surrounding it but I quickly broke my gaze as I heard the grown again and looked towards were I heard it till my eyes landed on a blob of white and gold in the field just a few feet away from us down in the grass. As I looked at the white and golden mass in the field my mom let me go and I started to get up off of the ground on all four since that felt natural and walk over to but was stopped by my mother laying her hand on my shoulder. I looked back at her and saw worry planted all over her face.
"It's ok mom if worse comes to worse you can just scare the shit out of whatever it is" I said with a reassuring smile
"What did I tell you about using that language young ma…..pony" she corrected herself in the midsentence.
"Pony?" I questioned her wording with a raised eyebrow
"Well that is what you are aren't you"
"I guess so let's just find out what in the world that is"
"Ok but I'm not leaving your side ok" she said sternly I could just feel her cross her arms behind me as my eyes were still on the thing in the field.
"Ok mom" I said as I ventured forth with my mom in toe towards that thing.
