"I think he's waking up..." I heard a voice as i was stirring awake.
"Hmm, I believe so. But why? Why would you save him?" said an old gruff voice
"I don't know...He seemed so pathetic, but there is something about this colt that is intriguing." I woke up fully and began to question what was going on, but all the while I couldn't help but stutter.
"w-w-w-w-where a-a-am I?" One of the shadowy figures rushed toward the bed i woke up on and put his hoof on my forehead.
"Your in moga village kid." It was the gruff voice, the pony was elderly with not many warm clothes on, in fact the only thing he wore was a malachite rimmed necklace. He had a grey mane and a brown wrinkly body. Soon after the other figure came trotting towards my bedside. He was a young stallion, but not old enough to be a full grown male, no he looked to be only about 3 or 4 years older than me. He had a Black body with red rimmed hooves and was...An Alicorn! "First things first," The stallion spoke. "Can you speak clearly?"
"N-n-n-no.." I replied.
"Okay then, I have just the thing to fix that..." I saw a flash from his horn and immediately shut my eyes and turned my head. "Now speak."
"Um, hello? Hey I can speak normally again! Thanks mister!"
"You are very much welcome now come we have much to tell you."
"But, my mother always said that speaking to strangers..." I paused to think about what I had said and decided to tell the 2 ponies to ignore it.
"Well young colt," Said the old pony "you probably won't be seeing your mother anytime soon."
"And why is that mister?" I was very confused
"Well kid...There's no easy to tell ya this but your mother is Extremely far away."
"Far awa-? Wait where did you say we where again?" I saw the Young stallion open a curtain from the enclosed wooden building we were in. A bright light emitted from the entrance. "Moga Village!" It was a floating town with a ground made of wooden planks. Everypony was bustling around with fish hoarding, lifting boxes, selling items, and a short wayverian artist blacksmith doing his well um, smithing? The air was warm, and the atmosphere was tropical, it was paradise, the place i always wanted to live in. "This...This place...Is AMAZING!" I zipped from one end of the quaint village to the other inspecting shops, boats, and fisherponies. 
"That's right young one," Said the young stallion. "Moga village, a place where everything is at peace-" Then suddenly i felt a rupture in the ground. Everything shook, boxes fell, hay roofs collapsed in, and frighted children ran to their mothers, one filly in particular, a red maned, pink filly ran towards me and hugged me as is she were clinging on to life. Even the elderly pony looked scared but remained calm. But the young alicorn, like an eagle, just stood there with a look of seriousness on his face. The quake ended and everypony calmed down, the filly that was hugging me let go and blushed madly, she finally spoke. "I-I-I-I-I..." She ran off.
"That was weird..." 
"EVERYPONY!" I heard the alicorn who cured my stuttering finally speak. "Everypony please calm down and we will find out what is happening immediately!" We? Wait who else is coming with him? I thought as i was soon lifted off the ground by magic.
"WOAH!" I was so confused! I had no idea what was going on!
"This young colt and I will investigate in the woods what was the cause of the quake! So says I Reaper and this young colt here um..."
"Poison Fire?" I said confused still. 
"Poison Fire!" I heard the crowd of the townsfolk cheer our names, and it felt good, great even. This was my new life.
This was my new start, here, now, as a hunter soon to be, but I had not realized it...Yet
