Tale of the Shadow Pony

by AtomicShockwave


Prologue

It was a dark and stormy night. Everypony stayed safely indoors and slept the best they could. Some we're restless due to the roaring thunder.

In between dimensions there was a place with nothing but shallow water as far as the eye could see. The water shined in the seemingly setting sun.

A pony as black as night with a mane of dusk with stripes of the redness of dawn. He had deep jade-green eyes. His tail was broad and mostly flat. It matched his mane but besides that there was little to no detail. The pony was laying in the shallow water and he began to regain consciousness, slowing getting to his feet.

"W-where... am I...?" He questioned as he looked around the desolate water land.

"Your Sanctuary..." An anonymous voice responded.

"Who's there? What do you mean? Show yourself!" He said back looking around frantically. The voice was easily a female, she sounded young and friendly...

"You have been granted a chance to redeem yourself... I wish you the best..." She said before a bright flash blinded him.

Within seconds the pony noticed he was falling fast, towards the land under him. He screamed as he fell, and braced himself for what was to come.
