//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: The journey begins // by Thenewbluebrony //------------------------------// Prologue It all started 20 years before the return of nightmare moon a pony is running in the woods with a new born foal. The pony is a friend to the creatures of these woods.The pony sees a bunch of animals and says "I am being chased I need you to Raise my son his name is Aquamarine. Thank you I must go now so they don't find him." And off the pony went to lead those who were chasing away. The newborn foal had just opened it's eyes for the first time to see a timberwolf. The wolf knew that the first thing a pony sees is usually it's mother or father so the wolf knew he and his mate had to raise this foal. The wolf's name is Brian. The pony had left some stuff such as a five translation collars a book on a pony's diet and a few spell books. Brian takes the new part of his pack back to his home with the supplies left by the pony. He now takes time to examine Aquamarine. His fur is blue his maine is black he has a horn. Brian now sets down the foal to examine his body. What he sees next shocks him the foal has bat wings. Brian knew that ponies sometimes had horns and sometimes had wings but did not know they could have both. With this a new problem came how would he teach him to fly. Brian has now arrived to his home. He is greeted by his wife Clair. Clair sees Aquamarine and asks how Brian got him. After Brian explained the whole situation with the pony. Clair has to tell Brian something." I need to tell you something Brian I am with pups." said Clair Brian was shocked to hear this. He and Clair have been trying to have pups for years now. Soon they will be blessed with pups and now they have a foal. They will love Aquamarine as if he was their own pup. seventyfive days later Brian and Aquamarine have now been waiting to be invited back in the cave because Clair has been giving birth to the pups for an hour now. The current count is now four pups two boys two girls. They have been waiting for two hours and have been invited back in the count is six three boys and three girls. Aquamarine was curious to see his little brothers and sisters. One boy had a pure white coat his name is Snow, the next one Aquamarine saw had a amber coat her name is Ember, next was a boy with a green coat his name is Terra, next was a boy with a gray coat his name is Shade, next was the runt of the litter Breeze she has a silver coat, lastly is the oldest of the pups Kara she has a brown coat. Brian and Clair now have seven kids half a year later There is a unicorn walking into the forest she had green and white fur and a red and white maine she had a green tail with blue spots her cutiemark is a peppermint candy. She came into the forest because she heard a colt. As she went deeper into the woods the colt got louder. She was in shock when she saw a colt playing with timberwolfs. She instantly put a protection spell on the colt and levitated him to her but to her shock the colt ran right to the timberwolfs. The timberwolfs then surrounded the colt she then realized the timberwolfs were protecting him. She then walked up to the timberwolfs. "Nice wolfs I just want to see the colt I mean him n no harm." said Peppermint. At this the wolfs tilted there heads in confusion. "Should we trust her she seems like one of his kind she might be able to teach him from those books mom and dad where given when they got him." said Breeze. "I don't know she seems a bit nervous." said Kara. While this conversation was happening Shade had went to the cave and got a collar he then showed it to Peppermint. "Hm a collar i think he wants me to put it on him." She said as she went to put the collar on him with her magic she was very careful to not make any movements that would be seen as a threat. As she put the collar on Ember, Terra, Breeze, and Kara saw that Shade was with the collar. They were all in shock as they heard Shade say. "Thank you my siblings can be very protective of Aqua." " Wha it must be that collar it must convert animal speech to eqlish." Said Pepper "So that must be what these do i will contact our parents so they can meet you" said Shade "Ahooooooooooooooooooo" Shade howled. Off in the distance there is a howl. "Our parents are on there way do not try anything." Said Shade "Ok" as Peppermint said that Clair and Brian had arrived "Who is this?" Asked Brian "She seems to be one of Aqua's kind" Said Shade. "What." Said the shocked Brian and Clair "I brought the Collar here to talk with her." Said Shade " What were you thinking Shade?!!" Yelled Brian. "She could have been one of the ponies chasing them." Said Brian "I knew she was nice because when she first saw him she moved him away from us and when he came back he had a green barrier around him." Stated Shade. "It is true where I come from timberwolfs attack us ponies. Shade i am going to put the collar on the one you where talking to ok." Said Peppermint. Breeze nods his head to show its ok with him. "Ok I am going to put this collar on you with my magic ok." Said Peppermint. Brian had sat to think about it for a bit before he nodded his head once the collar was on him he said. "I see my son has come to trust you so I will take his word now I have a favor to ask you will you teach Aquamarine to use magic?" "I will I can tell he is a kind soul so yes" Answered Peppermint
