What in the hell happened? Everything was different, changing...Ripped out from beneath me and crumbling into a pile of nothing more than dust, rubble and debris. At least, that is what I last remembered. Urd...All hell had broken lose in the underground kingdom as rogues began to destroy everything they could get their hooves on, regardless of what or who it was. In a million years I never would have suspected the drastic damages that would be brought to my homeland, even as I managed to escape the devastating collapse of the earth. Yet as I spread my wings to catch onto the winds to escape the danger, I lost control.

Perhaps it was the earth trying to suck me back into the very hell hole I grew up in as punishment for all that I had done. Perhaps I was destined to be killed for all the lives that I must have endangered, the lives that I had taken despite all my best attempts to save anyone that I could. The winds greedily sucked at my wings, thrashing me off balance and causing me to spiral into an uncontrollable wind tunnel. Desperately I tucked my wings close to avoid hitting any of the flying rubble and straighten myself, but the mighty winds had other plans. Squinting against the dirt and sharp gusts, I could just barely register that the land beneath me, the depressing sinkhole that had once been Urd, was changing.

Splash!

Without any warning, I had slammed into a body of water that I could have sworn was not there only seconds ago. For a moment I struggled to gather my bearings, disoriented by my fall. Or was it a pull? Once I was able to get my footing, standing chest deep like a giant wet rat in the middle of some sort of water source, my fiery gaze took in the new surroundings. There was something vaguely familiar about this land, resembling something that I believe used to be above Urd. But...Nothing was familiar, there was not a shred of memory of this new land filled with scarlet color that even my vibrant red coat could envy. The water was tainted red, and for a moment I feared that it was the blood of those that I had failed. But alas, the red colors did not just stop at the river...

I could not afford to take the time to appreciate the strange beauty of this new land, how...healthy everything looked with it's brilliant color, living plants and plentiful water. I was suddenly very aware that there were others standing all around, staring at each other in useless attempts at trying to understand what just happened. We were all surrounded by strangers, and it seemed there was not a familiar face in sight. Were they from Urd as well? Or were they from the lands above? Perhaps they were actually from this land...

Folding my slightly torn wings as close to my side as I could, I pulled myself onto the nearest shore. My thick coat hung heavily against my hide, and I whipped my tail several times to fling excess water away. Taloned hind claws clenched at the soft earth beneath me as though attempting to keep myself grounded from another terrible wind tunnel. Auds flicked towards each of the strangers, hoping to hear the whispers of someone, anyone, that had the answers I was looking for. Quietly I noted the injured stallion, some strange creature that darted away, and a mare with a fascinating glow between the horns that graced her dished crown.

Motion caught the corner of my eye, immediately I turned my crown to study the ivory and red mare that approached. Horns tilted to the side as I watched in silence, watching her question the injured stallion. Did he know something about all of this? Eyelids shifted ever so slightly, suddenly suspicious of these new equines. The mare seemed nice enough, offering her name without question. But there were still so many answers that I needed...
