//------------------------------// // Chapter 1-The End in What I Knew-Twilight // Story: The Mysterious Vigilante // by Bookworm217 //------------------------------// My friends. My family. My home. All of that was taken from me by a pony named Starlight Glimmer. I hope that she is very happy now, because her desire for revenge has cost me and Spike our lives. We are always on the run, because we don’t belong here. The moment that Starlight ripped the scroll in two, I felt something inside me shatter. The map pulled me and Spike to what would be the present, a war. Two nations that I love with all of my heart against each other in a war that has been going on for years. My friends aren’t friends. They each went their separate ways in the war. Applejack provides food for the soldiers, Rariy makes the soldiers their armor, and Fluttershy takes care of the sheep that provide wool for the clothes. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie? They are both serving the war. From what I heard, Rainbow lost a wing and Pinkie never smiles. Ever. It broke my heart to hear all of this, my best friends, not friends, just partners, working together to help out in the war. The worst part is that they don’t have their cutie marks. No rainboom, no cutie marks for us. Me included. Well my doppelgänger technically. She died. When I heard about this, I realized just how much things had gotten worse for us. I wouldn't be able to go out in public. Somepony could recognize me. Then I would be forced to explain where I came from and they would call me crazy. When I realized this, I grabbed Spike and ran. I ran into the Everfree forest. I tried to find Zecora's cottage, but instead found a dead, hollow, abandoned tree house, with nothing inside. I sigh and continue to the only other place I can think of: The Castle of the Two Sisters.
