I do not own any characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Those characters belong to Hasbro and Lauren Faust. I own only Eclipse and would like it if he stayed mine only.

Chapter 2- What and Where I am.

I progressed through some heavily wooded areas. There were some very frightening noises, but nothing came forth to meet me. Walking became easier as I went and I also tried a few more experimental flaps with my wings. Each time I landed on my face getting a muzzle full of dirt.

The trees began to get less frequent, and the undergrowth I was pushing through thinned out slowly. I tripped on a tree root that I had missed and over-corrected my fall, ending up on my rear. "Ow. What's up with me falling and hurting myself?" I asked myself.

I rubbed a stinging on my flank after getting back onto my hooves. The journey continued for a little while before a clearing broke through the mess of a forest. Looking around, I knew I had found some civilization. At the middle of the clearing sat a hut that looked like an old tree, and on the surrounding ground sat various statues.

Near the hut was a cauldron on a fire. Whoever was cooking was making a very nasty looking, bubbly green slime. I kept looking at the contents of the cauldron, not getting too close for fear of something crawling out and eating me, when I heard the door to the hut open and a very audible gasp. I turned to see that the owner to the gasp was a zebra, shorter than I. It's black and white mane was styled up into a mohawk. The mysterious being also had gold rings around its neck and forelegs and gold hoop earrings.

It looked around the to the edges of the clearing, then eyed me and then spock.

"Come out, whoever may be causing the illusion. For you are causing me a lot of much confusion." It rhymed its sentences. I don't know why. And I didn't think that I was an illusion ether.

"Um. Hi. I uh... I'm sure I'm very real, and I don't think anpony followed me." I said as I looked over my shoulder. Her eyebrow rose when I replied. "Can you tell me where I am or why I'm in a forest?"

"You are in the forest called Everfree. A place of danger and mystery. But for why you are in this haunted place, I do not know, I have not seen your face." She rhymed all of her sentences. That was confusing, but I could understand her meanings.

"So... I am in a dangerous place with no memory of who or where I am? Well isn't that just bucking great." I said quietly towards the ground. The zebra's eyebrow was trying to escape again. Probably because of my choice of vocabulary. I looked back up at her because she cleared her throat.

"I do not have clue about you, but I must invite you in because Alicorns are so few." The zebra motioned for me to come inside.

Should I trust her? I just met her and she's inviting me, a stranger, into her home. I shrugged. Well, if all else fails, I am bigger than she is. Maybe I can get away from her if thing make a turn for the worst.

"Can you tell me your name first? My name's Eclipse."

"My name, Zecora it be. My name is unique, it says that it's me." She replied.

"Okay. So what's an Alicorn thingy exactly?" I asked as I walked inside.

"Alicorn is the masters of all prospects. They have power in all three sects Earth, Magic, and Sky. Having greater manipulation than the Earth ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi." She closed the door and turned around. "You are an Alicorn my friend. I must tell Twilight so she can see if you are actually real and not pretend." She walked to the door and grabbed a cloak.

"What? I don't get it. Plus I just got here and I hardly know you. What's the big deal?" She was making no sense with her rhymes and stuff.

"I understand that you have no idea of what you are. So I will tell of the history of them and bring you to par. Long ago, there was a race of powerful beings. They called themselves Alicorns, they ruled and overseen things." She paused in her speech. "They governed for many years, this land in peace. Ponies were happy but then the Alicorns just seemed to cease. There was no explanation for their disappearance and only a few still had perseverance." She moved various thing around the room. "Only a few can still be found. I must tell Twilight Sparkle, so do not leave here because there might be dangers around."

And with that, she walked out the door. It closed behind her with a tiny click.

I knew she was right, I had some bad feelings when I made my way through the forest. There was a number of things I still wanted to know, but I was fine for now. I didn't know who this Twilight Sparkle was but, I was hoping that she could shed some more light on my situation.

Oh if only I could remember.
