Lullaby for a Lost Moth Part 1

>Shit.
>Why did you have to go and do this?
>All you wanted was a peaceful walk.
>In retrospect, the Everfree forest isn't the best place for that. But Ponyville is just too...
>...Crowded
>Well you know what they say.
>Hindsight is 20/20.
>It would have been a perfectly good walk too.
>If you hadn't gotten lost.
>So know where do you find yourself?
>Wandering aimlessly about the Everfree Forest.
>Oh, and it's getting dark.
>Fucking sun. Always setting at the worst possible time.
>You pull out your iPhone and tap the home hey.
>182- FUCK! you hit the 3!
>182- GODAMMIT!
>182- FUCKING FINGERS!!!
>You should have gotten this thing upgraded to iOS7 when you had the chance.
>Don't exactly have the chance anymore do you?
>1825.
>Finally.
>Your fingers flips the screen the the left a couple times, then taps the flashlight app.
>The camera light turns on and you shine it around yourself.
"Jesus fuck!"
>All around you.
>Eyes.
>Red eyes looking at you from the shadows.
>Following your ever movement.
>ThisishowIdie.png
>Commence running.
>Running cannot commence because Running.exe is already open.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
>Okay. So you're running through the forest.
>Being pursued by all kinds of horrible nightmares.
>Terrible. Monsterous. Slimy. Evil.
>Oh god.
>As you run, you glance behind you.
>There's a set of light blue eyes floating right behind your head.
>Fun Fact. Running while looking backward is the leading cause of tripping in adults.
>Wheeeeeeee! I'm flyiiiiiiing.
>Whoops, no. Gravity works.
>You must have slide a good twenty feet on your face.
>Gonna have to measure the skid marks later though.
>Right now, pain.
>You roll over and grip your knee close to you, groaning in pain.
>The flashlight app on your phone is still going and the phone is laying on the ground.
>Thank you Otterbox for your amazing phone-saving powers.
>But the biggest deal right now is not your phone, but the being currently staring at the light.
>It looks like... A pony?
>But not quite a pony.
>Like, a mix of a pony and something else.
>It's a bit smaller than a normal pony and quite a bit fluffier.
>It has large cyan wings with different colored spots all over then and a sky blue coat.
>It's mane is a light pinkish red color with fluffy antennae sticking out from the top of it's head.
>And currently, it is staring absolutely transfixed at the light shining from your phone.
>You reach out and pick up the device and watch as the being's eyes follow the light.
>You wave it back and forth and the thing's head follows the phone.
>Tapping the home key, you unlock the phone and turn the flashlight to shine a from your screen.
>The camera light turns off and a dull glow begins to emit from the screen of your phone.
>The creature blinks and shakes it's head like it just came out of a trance.
"Hello?"
>It looks at you with wide, scared eyes.
"D-do you want the light turned back on?"
>It slowly nods it's head at you.
>You turn the brightness of the screen up and set the phone on a rock in front of you.
>Staring between you and the phone it looks confused.
>"But, the bright one."
>It sounds really dejected.
"Sorry. The battery's almost dead and I kinda need it to help me see later."
>At that, it seems to get a little less sad.
>"Oh. Ok. I like this one too."
>It stares a little harder at the screen.
>It's honestly kind of adorable. Like a kid with something it doesn't understand.
"So, uh, do you have a name?"
>It looks at you again and seems to contemplate something.
>"Yes. My name is Sen."
>So. Yeah.
>You're walking along a trail you completely missed about five minutes ago.
>With a bit of begging (And mostly the promise of turning the bright one back on) you convinced Sen to lead you out of the Everfree.
"So Sen. Uh, not to sound rude or anything but, what are you?"
>She turns to you with a confused look.
>"I'm a Mothpony, duh. Haven't you ever heard of a Mothpony before?"
>You sigh and shake your head.
"No, actually. No one has ever even mentioned their existence before. Are there more of you?"
>She stops and drops her head.
>Oh god, now ya done it.
>You can see tears hitting the ground.
>"Th-there are. *Sniff* Somewhere."
>Oh shit.
>"I d-don't know where."
"Did you get, uh, separated from them or something?"
>She sits down and starts to sob quietly.
>"A-about three days ago I was walking around a clearing and saw something off in the woods."
>You sit down next to her and set the phone in front of the two of you.
>"I went to see what it was and I found a cave. Deep in the cave I heard a sound, like a song, it was the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard."
>Add siren caves to the list of things wrong with this world.
>"I went into the cave to try to find what was making the noise when I found a room. It didn't look like the kind of room you'd find in a cave. In the middle of the room was… Something."
"Something?"
>"I can't remember what it was. I only caught a glimpse of it before I blacked out. All I remember was it was really pretty. And when I came to, it was night outside and I couldn't find the clearing. I've been wandering around since then."
>You take in these details.
>Somewhere in the Everfree is a cave with beautiful music and strange rooms.
>You are currently sitting next to a lost Mothpony, whose species you didn't even know existed before today.
>Said Mothpony is crying.
>Said crying Mothpony is homeless.
"Welp. Only one thing for it then."
>With a small sniff, Sen looks up at you as you stand up.
>"What?"
>You reach down and pick up the fuzzy ball of sad.
"You're staying with me tonight and first thing tomorrow, we're going to find your family."
>Sen looks at you with genuine happiness.
>"Really?"
"Really."
>The small fur ball squeals and wraps you in a big hug.
>"Oh thank you so much Anon!"
>You turn back to the path ahead and begin walking, transferring the pony from your arms to your shoulders.
>You feel good.
>But now you have to figure out how to find Sen's family.
>Eh. You'll cross that bridge when you come to it.
>For now, you need to get home and get some sleep.
"So Sen. Tell me about Mothponies."
