Authors Notes

It's been a while. This chapter will be from memory…as I left my book at home…anyway…should be a great chapter.

Chapter 11

Cutler awoke, surrounded by large dark trees. He immediately recognized where he was. He knew he was in the Everfree Forest, but he was in a part he had never been in before. Looking around for some kind of route of escape, he saw nothing. He almost gave up hope when he saw a dim light straight ahead of him. He immediately started galloping toward it, getting caught in tree branches and brambles. When he reached where the light was coming from, he found himself at what he knew had to be Zecora's Cottage. Twi had told him about it while they were at the Archive building. He, unlike Twi and her friends, did not know which direction the exit was from the Cottage. He decided to sit and wait.

An hour later, he heard rustling in the bushes. He got up and charged his horn, yelling, "Who goes there!" As soon as the "there" left his mouth, three Timber Wolves jumped out of the bushes, snarling, and growling at him. He tried intimidating them with his magic, but they just kept coming towards him. He thought he was a goner, until he heard a strange sound from the bushes. It was almost like a wailing sound. The Timber Wolves looked around, scared, and ran off. Cutler turned toward the bushes, and charged his horn again. He was about to blast the bushes when he heard a voice from behind it say "Whoa! Don't blast us. We just saved your skin." And with that, Jordan and Dorian jumped out from behind the bushes. Cutler had never been more happy to see them in his life.

"Cutler, you have to come quick, something happened at the castle after you were blasted." Jordan said. Dorian started to explain the entire event. "We saw you get blasted into the forest. We started to come after you, when…" "When what?" Cutler asked, confused. "When Darkstar took off toward Shadow Valley with Twilight. We couldn't save her. None of us could."

Furious, Cutler felt a new found power growing inside of him. He started to glow, and then started to float, like when Shining and Cadence did when they obtained the Element of Love. He was enveloped in a flash of golden light. When he landed, he was wearing a golden helmet, but the faceplate was an orange yellow swirled gem. "Wow, what's up with the helmet?" Jordan and Dorian asked, in sync. "This is the Element of Justice. Come on, ponies, I have a sister to save!" The three ponies left the forest, and headed for the Castle.
