The Island Hidden by the Fog

by JackoTheDragon


Prologue

You have enter the Tavern from a town in equestria, It was Raining hard and you needed  a place to stay, so you head up to the stallion bartender for a room and he told you to stop.

"Apparently this place is already full." He said, he was wiping a stain off of a glass cup as he spoke. "You have to wait a moment before you can get a room."

You sigh and walk to an empty table at a corner of the tavern, when you sat down two small glass cups of cider levitated in front of you. When you look around you see a Pony with a dark cloak looking at you, you couldn't see his face because his hoof was up and covering it.

"You look like a pony who have a lot of time on his hooves, why don't you take a drink and we could chat?" The stranger said in a deep voice.

Not waiting for you permission The Stranger sat down in his seat facing in front of you, then he magically levitated the cider and drank it, at least you knew he was a unicorn.

"Did your parents ever tell you it's rude to stare?" The stranger coughs and took another swig of cider. "But anyhow, you look like a traveler, but Judging on how you look not a good one."

The Stranger took one last gulp and sigh. "I knew many Travelers, adventures, even Famous treasure hunters. They all went to distant lands to find great pieces of history and vast riches. But its all the same story, they find some map, go to a Jungle, desert, or whatever. and find and get the treasure."

Then the hooded figure lean towards you. "What if I told you that I knew somepony who had vast riches within his grasp, and he didn't even know it existed?..."

You look at the stranger with confusion yet curiosity, you look around the tavern and still saw the bartender tending to customers.

"So, you want to hear the story?" The cloak figure asked as he took your cup.

You look at him for a moment, then you slowly nod your head.

"Good, now sit back, This is a long one and I'm only gonna tell it once." The stranger took another drink and straighten himself

"Now we heard of stories of adventurers and Treasure hunters going to far away lands to find great riches and history, those stories are fun and but have you ever heard of a story of great riches in your own backyard? Now let me tell you that there is such a story, but one that might end the way you might not expect. In the great seas beyond equestria there is an island of untold riches and fortune, many adventurers and treasure seekers tried to find this treasure but failed many, many times. Soon The island became a legend, then legend became myth, and myth became to a simple story, a story of a island full of gold. But hear my words for they are all true, for there is one part of the story that had not been told."

As he said all of this his hooves made swaying motion like he telling a story to fillies and colts.

"It's a Story about a small colt who will become the greatest adventurer that ever lived!...well the greatest adventurer to me that is, this story is not widely told. Anyways this small colt was named Jacko, yes I know not a common pony name but he was no ordinary pony! He is a mysterious race called a Kirin which was the residents of the island, Yes The island was not 'undiscovered' it already had ponies living in it. But besides that I think it would be best for the story to be from the eyes of our protagonist."

You look at him with utter confusion but he kept going.

"But before we can get into that a little history lesson is in order, you see the Island is full of kirin but also other races you find in equestria. so you can expect that there may be some....differences between them all, and they got in a scuffle of who should rule the island which in my opinion is a horrible way to live together, but they all had a war. The unicorns use there magic to cause great damage and change the whole interior of the island. Earth ponies lead great charges and use there might to push their enemy's back. Pegasuses patrol the sky and cause rainstorms to slow down the competition. But the kirin, they were clever, Instead of fighting they waited, they use their magic to hide themselves and let the chaos loose around them. But when it died down they rounded up all the ponies and force them to surrender and to stop the war."

then he took another gulp of his cider before continuing.

"30 or so years have past since the war and the island was ruled by the Kirin who gave martial law and order. They wanted took keep the island safe from outsiders so they created a powerful fog from magic of unknown origin, covering the whole island. It is said that if you try to enter the fog, you just come back out to the open sea like you just pass through it. the same goes for the islanders, if they try to pass the fog, they just come back to the island."

The stranger stopped and looked down for a moment, almost as if in sadness.

"But then when the years went by, all the islanders forgot that the magical fog even existed, they lived their lives as if it was any normal day for them. But fate as ways to show great wonders to the ones who are deemed worthy."

And with that the stranger leap out and touch your forehead, your mind started to become fuzzy and the whole building started spinning, then in a few moments, you blackout.
