The last light

Prolouge

As the train rolls into Canterlot I make sure to look my best. Not that I am vain or anything, I simply want to make a good first impression on my host family. Or, host or host, they actually are my relatives, even if it's very distant, Apples stick together no matter what.
I can barely wait to get off the train and see the capitol for myself, I love to see new places. At home, my walls are covered with flyers, photos and magazine writing from destinations all over the world. Not that I have ever been there myself, my family barely have enough money to afford the house, the only reason I'm even on this train is becuse of a scolarship. When I got it, they said I could choose any school I wanted to, so I choose CHS, some people thinks I'm crazy, but I'm a very hard working students and I value a good education over a lot of other things. I didn't really have any friends in the Crystal Empire either, so there wasn't a hole lot things holding me back.
I lean out of the window and breath in the air, it's fresh, the same way as it is just after rain. I love that. I look at Canterlot as the train creeps closer and closer, the wind pulls my hair, but I don't mind. I can only see the train coming closer and closer to this new city. The city were I can start a new life. As I let it all embrace me, a thought starts to form in my mind. A thought I will hang onto for a very long time to come, it's uplifting and gives me hope about the future for the first time in a while.

This is when it all begins.
