//------------------------------// // chapter 4 Twilight's log // Story: Zoroark in Ponyville // by Viper Pit //------------------------------// Entry one It has been about a week since the arrival of what I assume is a close cousin to the common fox. He goes by the name of Zoroark, and is currently staying at Fluttershy's place. I have frequently visited them over the course of said week in order to get more information about Zoroark. He is a very interesting creature who seems to have a wide array of magical abilities. When I asked about said abilities he stated and I quote. "It just something I can do along with most of my pack. The "magic", as you put it, is what makes us strong and able to defend ourselves." He seems very loyal to his old pack and speaks very highly of them. Entry two Zoroark has made it very clear that he is loyal to Fluttershy since she was nice enough to let him do what he wanted for the most part. And that involves a lot of time in the ever-free forest for apparent training. I asked if I could come and watch he didn't seem to mind as the only reason he even trained in the Ever-free was to not spook Fluttershy's animals. How nice of him. Back to the training. I saw him shoot fire out of his mouth, which was at the very least surprising, then follow up with a crimson looking dome that pushed everything away from him After that I don't remember I kinda passed out. He laughed at me. Entry three Zoroark went and apologized to Applejack today for what happened a few weeks back. He's going to go apologize again after Applejack gets her head out of the ground, I wasn't there to witness the fight itself but from what Fluttershy told me, it was a misunderstanding from Applejack's end. I got a chance to study Zoroark's illusion abilities and it seems to be a defense ability. Despite how strong they are even pictures are fooled by his power. It seems that when he uses his illusions, he takes control of your senses. He is currently using his illusionary power as a disguise so Applejack doesn't yell at him anymore. Entry four Zoroark, at the request of Fluttershy, went with Spike and Rarity to collect some gems for her next line of fashion as some extra protection. Only they came back sooner than expected and with only one fairly large crystal that apparently held Zoroark. It took three days to get him out and he was crying when we finally got him out., apparently what that meant to him was that his old pack either thought he died and destroyed his home or his pack died in the event that sent him to us. We then tried to question him furthermore about the crystal and why he got sucked into it. It seems that the crystal reacts to his body and only releases him when his "master" calls for him. When he was released by Fluttershy crying for him to come out, it apparently made her his master. Needless to say that the Crystal will be at her house until further notice.
