Prologue: I'm Sorry Beast Boy

My name is Terra. I have done terrible things in my life, my old life. I never had an easy one, nearly always being on my own. I tried to convince myself for so long that I was a loner and I liked it that way, but those were just acts of desperation to disguise the real truth. My parents kicked me out at an early age when my abilities manifested. Who needs them? It took me several years to actually take control of my powers, but control was too strong of a word. I thought I was in control, I thought I was the one to make my own destiny and I didn't need anyone else to stop me. What I should have realized, is that I needed others to help me. I was never a trusting person unfortunately, and I realized that far too late.

My first 'ventures' on my own was finding a home, something that takes on too many meaning. But to me a home was always a cave, I always felt at home in them so I figured, why not? Caves were dark, contained lots of dirt and rocks but most importantly they were secluded. As my powers began to multiply and change, well I soon discovered that mixing them when next to people was a recipe for disaster. I never wanted to hurt a thing, but it almost seemed like fate. Every new place was the potential for a fresh start, a new day to set things right. Nothing ever went right.

Eventually I got it in my head that I had the potential to be a superhero. This was far before I had ever met the Teen Titans. And as much as I pained it to admit weakness at the time, I knew that that I was no Wonder Woman. Very few heroes ventured out on their own, at least the young ones never did. So I moved close to the city, and when I mean the city I mean the one with all the action with the heroes themselves. I got their attention easily enough and for a while life was actually turning out okay, well for a week maybe. I had a home and I had friends, but I soon discovered that they even they craved control. Something I had very little of but just wouldn't admit.

That's when he found me. He made a promise to help me get my powers under control, oddly enough he kept it. But it was the cost of all my new friends and life, I essentially became his slave. The one friend that mattered though was Beast Boy, he showed me that there was a way out, he showed me friendship. But life doesn't always work out peachy, in the end I died and ended up, well somewhere else with a new body. I was no stranger to the idea of reincarnation, Raven a very skilled magician had told me all about it. But I was not born in this body which is still baffling, once more I'm no longer human.

I never expected to be equine in nature, and some how it feels natural. I always wondered how Beast Boy felt and now I do. Also, I was never one to complain, but I still have my powers. Like a curse that followed me from one life to the other, I can control the earth around me. I can lift rocks thirty times my own size simply by thinking it, I can cause pure destruction. But do I want to? Odds are something or someone will get in my way and force me out of hiding, but until then I have lived in this cave under the largest castle I had ever seen in my entire life. I want to go up there but I feel like something huge will go wrong, and I have had enough second chances. Still, I knew that curiosity would win out in the end, plus I'm starting to get sick of eating flowers.

Seriously, flowers are kind of bland. I mean they work in this new body but I was never one to go this long without meat. To be honest though I'm not sure if meat and my new body would agree. I did owe it to Beast Boy to become a vegetarian anyway, I owe him that much...I still can't believe that he forgave me after all I had done, I betrayed them and nearly destroyed an entire city in the process. I'm just glad that Slade wasn't playing for keeps, I don't think I can handle death. Destruction maybe but to kill someone? There is no going back from that.

When I woke up in this cave, my first thought was to reach out to Beast Boy and apologize. But I wasn't a magician, I can't do magic and I was pretty sure that I was no longer on Earth anymore. I don't know how I knew that but something about being in an alien body might have something to do with it. I've only been here for two weeks, and know very little of this new world if you will. I only had assumptions based on my surroundings and what came with me.

What did come with me? A hair-clip, a metal one of all things shaped like a butterfly. I had always had it with me and oddly enough it was still in my hair, well I guess the proper term is now 'mane' but again it's all one big assumption. How do I grab thing? I had no clue how others of my new race did so, but if I ever needed something I would just levitate a light amount of dirt around said object. It wasn't the perfect solution but it did work. Why is my fur colored tan and mixed in with brown spots? I had no clue if that was normal and if everyone was like that, after all I have yet to leave this cave much.

I still wondered about that castle and what I would find. Were there others? And were they as small as me? That is another thing I forgot to mention, even though my voice is the same. My body was far from it, I shrank a lot. I'm assuming that physically I'm much younger, the only reasoning I can gather up is a new body equates to a younger one? Still not sure if that made sense, and I was very much unsure on how I even came to be. I mean I died, you don't get encased in lava and survive something like that. So how am I here? Over and over my thoughts kept lingering more on curiosity, simply because I was bored. I kept telling my self that if I just stayed put that I couldn't harm anyone and I can feel happy in my new life. But if it's one thing Beast Boy taught me, you can't go through life running from you're problems. You can't go through life alone and you most certainly can't go through life without at least one friend.

My name is Terra. And I'm sorry Beast Boy, I'm sorry for everything...
