The Companionship

"Is this how it ends?" The Nameless Pony said aloud. "The dead forest of all places."

The Thorn was a lifeless thicket bordered by The Quantum Shadow and The Fey. There were conflicting rumors about The Thorns' origination and development into its current state.

Wearing a red bandana and spectacles, The Pony was likely the most well-dressed living creature in The Thorn.

Laying in pain, The Pony looked back at the wound on his hind leg. His leg was hurting so much that he could not stand. However, the wound's bleeding has subsided and a he noticed a piercing glow was emitting in the shape of a circle with a connecting cross underneath.

"Could it be true?" The Pony said to himself. "One of the ancient Forgotten Runes…on my body. What type of magic caused this?"

Pondering the possibility of the wound becoming a Forgotten Rune, The Pony suddenly became alert, hearing rustling in the forest. Using the enhanced vision of his spectacles he spotted what seemed to be a greenish figure with a pointed hat in the distance.

Hopefully this will not be a hostile encounter, The Pony thought to himself. As the figure got closer The Pony identified him as a Wicked Wizard, wearing brownish tundra wear. A bit warm out for that type of apparel but who was he to judge. The Pony had chosen to pretend to be asleep as the Wizard approached.

The Wizard noticed The Pony, who still couldn't bear to move, and had begun casting some sort of spell. The Pony abruptly awoke from his feigned sleep and realized that this Wizard had just completely healed the pain coming from his leg.

The Pony heard the Wicked Wizard muttering to himself…something about spectacles, Elysian Fields, and Dryads.

"Dryad the Stupendous, care to join me on a journey to Goblin Town?" the Wicked Wizard asked.

"Did he just name me?" The Pony whispered to himself as he moved to all fours pain-free.

"I thank you very much Wizard, this wound has kept me impaired for the past few days. I would be happy to join you…anything to get out of this forsaken place."

Without missing a beat, The Wizard hopped on to the Pony he just named and said "The name is Druid Ofaris and I've just recently made it out of the Blizzard, it is a pleasure to meet you".

The newfound companions set off toward Goblin Town.
