Apple Bloom has always been taught to do what’s right; by her sister, her brother, and her granny. She works hard to complete her chores, does her school work, and goes crusading with her friends. Even when dealing with the taunting from the local bullies, she tries to keep her distance and avoid conflict; after all, it’s the right thing to do. But when she overhears a private moment by somepony she should by all rights despise, she learns that doing the right thing can be harder than it seems.

When Twilight Sparkle finds a prophecy in the library of the old castle, she dismisses it as nothing. But when Spike reads it, he is chosen along with 4 others to protect Equestria by following the quest that will save them all from a new enemy. They will have to face rough seas, monsters, and new civilizations if they, and Equestria, are to survive.

Gore will not be until later chapters. I might not ever get gory, just setting it up as a precaution.
What should happen to the Five next? Should they meet a new race, face a sea monster, or get caught in a storm at sea? Comment below on what you think should happen next in the journey.

On a warm, rainy afternoon, two young ponies take shelter in a gazebo. One is hoping to find a job at a bakery nearby, and just wants the rain to go away so she can make it to her interview. The other isn't really a pony, and just wants the rain to go away so he isn't caught.

Life tends to work that way, I suppose.
