Chapter 1: The Runaway

A young pastel pink filly started to run in the middle of the night to get away from her so called hometown where she grew up in. She ran faster and faster until days went by and she started to wobble from exhaustion and hunger. She saw a cave up ahead and decided to go there to rest. When she awoke from her slumber she went into a bag her bag has her stomach growled from Hunger and brought out some oats and a canteen filled with water. This young filly name is Starlight glimmer. Starlight began to get up and continue on with her journey. Many days have passed going on in months right now Starlight is Scavenging for food and what seems to be a forest. She has learned many things during her travels. One of them being the bane of her existence sitting right there on her flank. She have thought of ways to get rid of it one of them was to spell she has found but it left nasty side effects as well as not giving her what she wanted. All the spell did was remove her key mocking gave her new one that of an equal sign and it wasn't even permanent. She found disgust in the cutie mark both of them really. So Starlight saw other ways to get rid of it and not have any of those side effects as well as making her eternally what most would consider it an insult but to her a compliment will be a blank flank. As she continued on into her journey many days continue to pass even as he passes through a mountain searching for answers until finally she got one. Came from an old Journal inside of the cave in a secret passage, apparently some pony else has thought of the same has she had found a way permanently get rid of cutie marks, but because of our research they were outcasted and kicked out. She believes many ponies if they found this consider this forbidden Magic since it got rid of a cutie mark. She stayed in that cave for many months on end you cast this spell on her self. After a while Starlight succeeded in your quest I'm getting rid of her cutie mark and no side effects seemed to happen. A magic to not weaken nor did herself seem to be muted like with the other spell. Her cutie mark just seem to have disappeared like it never have existed in the first place. Happy with her accomplishment she jumped in Joy. Many years have passed since that day and starlight has grown up into a beautiful Mare. Making herself at home in the forest Beyond Equestria. But unlike today Starlight glimmer Heard a Voice, the voice seems to be from some pony else almost like there is civilization close to her. So she went out and searched for The Voice see what was there to offer.
