In the dead of day, in the center of the Ever free forest, 8 creatures meet.

"No you cannot go out of the forest Neko! Every single thing would freak out if they saw what you became at night!" The elder said.

Neko was the nickname for Nekoluga, also known as the unknown cat. He, as well as the other "Lugas" as they are called by those outside the forest, looked like strange anthropomorphic cat with sullen eyes and straight ears. At night though, he becomes the unknown cat, a beast that, unless you are in the Ever free at the time, couldn't see a Monstrosity.

Nekoluga was the youngest of them all, with Nobiluga, the elder, being 30 years younger then Celestia.

Nekoluga was only 12 years old, but he was one of the most powerful.

"But Nobiluga, why can't they see us? Sure, we definitely look strange, but they might have seen weirder!" Nekoluga protested.

"And what would that be?" Asiluga asked. Asiluga was Nobiluga's assistant. He was the 4th oldest.

"Well, remember discord? That guy can basically turn into anything! Not to mention chimera, Ursa minor or major, and Changelings! Those things look ridiculous!" Nekoluga answered.

Togeluga, which was Neko's closest friend replied with, "Nobiluga, He does pose a point. There is some other weird things out there!" Which made Nobiluga think about it.

As soon as neko was made, toge had a liking to him as he seemed to be the most normal.

Nobiluga thought about for a minute, "hmm...I guess you do have a point, but we still need an action from the master," Nobiluga said as he stroked his "Mustache"

They all gasped after he was finished. The Master? We don't need to ask it..Right?

The master was known as legeluga. It was the oldest being in existence, exceeding both celestia, discord, tirek, sombra, the elements, and everything else.

"MASTER! We all have an important question!" Nobiluga yelled through the forest. Soon a blazing glow of colors appeared from the trees. It was legeluga. Everything bowed downed to the Holiness of Legeluga.

"What is it that you ask of me?" Legeluga boomed into every creatures minds. Each one heard it, as Legeluga doesn't talk, and instead uses his mind to communicate.

"Oh brave and powerful Master, Nekoluga has a question for you," Nobiluga said to Legeluga.

"What is it that you ask, Nekoluga?"  It's voice exploded into neko's mind

"Master... I ask that I may leave the forest and explore. I wish to know what is out there, and make connections with other species," Nekoluga replied, as calmly as he could.

Legeluga than opened his eyes and looked at neko. "You wish to leave the forest?" It asked to make sure it heard right.

Neko breathed and then replied, "Yes," As sternly as he could.

Legeluga then closed his eyes and twitched his ears, "You...May go. But be careful. Nobody knows what is out there," Legeluga told them before traveling back deep into the forest.

Everyone was surprised at the answer of the master. But before they could react, Nekoluga ran out of the forest into the closest place...

Ponyville...
