The evening rainstorm was pouring all around ‘Dalry.’ Madame Roseluck rested comfortably on the recliner while reading a romantic novel she had purchased last weekend, while in the background the crackle from the fireplace tamely trickled along with the pitter-patter from the rain impacting the window creating a soothing atmosphere.
Roselucks evening passed on without any interruptions until she heard a knock echo throughout the estate. She lit a small candle an proceeded to the front door to address a unknown visitor. When she finally reached the door the knocks soon ceased. Opening the door she was greeted with nothing more then the town scenery. She looked right and left to see if there was anypony before ready to head back inside until she heard a noise from down below.
Looking down she was greeted with a cradle which was making light snores from within. When she shined the light inside she was greeted with a little baby colt softly snoring. She awed at the scene then seen a sheet of paper near the colt.
Dear Orphanage Caretaker,
This little bundle of joy is named ‘Astral Arrow.’ I leave him in your care since as a mother I have failed to provide for my baby, but under dire
situations that have a raised I no longer have the income nor means to
provide for him and I dare say this is probably my last time upon this world.
So as a mother I hope you can do what I couldn’t and give
my colt an actual life instead of what little I couldn’t provide for him.
Please take good care of him...
Roseluck lowered the paper then used her magic to lift ‘Astral’ out of the cradle and looked over the colt. From her observation she made out the colt was thin to the point his ribs were poking out along with him having small disheaved wings with feathers poking out in every direction. She nuzzled ‘Astral’
