Shadow Sky In a New World

by Shadow Skysito


A journey towards peace.

Flying was difficult for me, my horn is still smoking, my vision is a little blurry, and my hooves are trembling, but I made it, I escaped from the hive, and now I am heading triumphantly towards the pond, hoping that the resistance will not stop me. I thought I was dead, I need to rest, it was exhausting to use so much magic, magic that I shouldn't have in the first place, but I'm not complaining, that magic helped save my life.
I am about to arrive, the wings are of great help, if I had to walk I would collapse.
That's it, I see the pond, it's so close, I'm very tired.

"HEY KID!!!"

It is the voice of Greed Rain.

"HERE!!!"

I went towards them,
They didn't look upset, but I didn't understand why their faces were relieved either.
I landed wobbly.

"You're definitely insane you fucking suicide kid!!!"

"He he he, I am characterized by this type of ideas Greed."

"What the hell was that explosion? We could hear it up to here, for a moment we thought they had discovered us."

"Well Greed, let's just say they're a little busy trying to get the queen out of the rubble, we have time to go."

"The queen is..."

"I don't think so, she is much more powerful than that, she will survive."

"Okay kid, we have to go."

"Yes, I think it's a good idea, but first, I want to show you something."

"The fact that?"

I opened the saddlebag and took out the book with the spell and the map.
Her faces were priceless.

"You...you caused the explosion?"

They all saw me and I just nodded, I didn't know what to say, I was still tired, and my head hurt a little.

"And when you said that the queen was in the rubble was it literal?"

"...Yes."

"That means that..."

"Look, don't think about it so much, okay, it's all over, we're free, and now, with this spell we can have a life of our own, nothing to steal anyone's identity, isn't it great?"

"BUT OF COURSE IT IS!!!"

"You are the best thing that has happened to us kid, that was amazing!!!"

Everything is happiness, I managed to escape, and now we will have a life of our own outside the hive.

"Well, who will use the spell first?"

"Kid, you got the book, you did all... that? We think you should be the first."

"It would be a good idea guys but, I don't know what my form will be, do it first, I need to think."

"Wow, really? Thank you very much boy, how generous of you."

Everyone started using the spell, a lot of appearances, with very strange colors, wacky colored manes, tails matching the manes, meaningless colored eyes, they were rainbows personified.

"Um, guys, why such... weird colors?"

"What are you talking about? The pony race is like that, colored meleas and tails, it suits us to mix with each other,
tyranny practically does not exist in that race."

"So if I want to be a pony I have to choose between a body, mane and tail of many colors?"

Wow, and I thought I had to choose between white, black, brown, normal colors, but I won't judge, maybe it's different here.

"Well boy, do you already have something in mind?"

"...I think so...well, here I go."

Use the spell, to do it the changeling has to have a clear image of what he wants to transform into, it was simple, my 3 favorite colors, red, black and blue.
It was hard to do the spell, but after using all that magic against the queen I still had a bit of that magic left over.

"I made it... I'm a pony now, great."

At least my eyes weren't just one color now.

"You look good boy, you have a good imagination."

"Thank you... now what?"

"Well, now we have to go unnoticed, thanks to the map you stole we can see where we want to go, this has been a brotherhood, and months of planning, and if we had already achieved it, your child, You gave us an opportunity to improve even more, thank you very much boy, we all owe it to you here."

"You're welcome guys, and where are you going?"

"I'm going to Hoofingtown."

"I to Cloudsdale."

"I to Canterlot."

"I to Manhattan."

"And you child, where are you going?"

I want a low profile, besides I'm tired of cities.

"I think I'm going to... PonyVille."

"I see, it's a good option, but why not a city, something more metropolitan?"

"If I'm being completely honest with you, I'm sick of the damned cities."

"...Have you been to cities before?"

"..."

"..."

"Just... ignore me hehe."

We stayed to rest a bit, the place was nice, until they decided that there was no time to lose, and each one began to leave one by one, me being the first.

"Well guys, this was fun, it was a day full of experiences and discoveries, but it's time to go."

"Are you going alone? What if something happens to you?"

"..."

"Okay, your silence said too much."

I was about to go tomorrow would probably arrive, the hive is very far from PonyVille.

"Hey! Didn't you forget something?"

"No, I think not."

"And the book with the spell?"

"Can I take it?"

"Kid, you were the only one who went to get it, and yet you let us use it, of course you can take it, you got it, keep it as a trophy."

"Thank you Greed Rain, I hope we can see each other again, if you need me, I'll be in PonyVille."

"Goodbye child, take care."

And I left with a fixed path to PonyVille, like the old days, but this time closer, the last time it lasted a year, but now with wings what I calculate would be four months of travel decreases to 2 days, of course, if I move without stopping... perfect.

"Greed, you know that wasn't a child, right? Or at least it wasn't a normal one."

"You know, at this point it doesn't matter, it just matters that I achieved something we didn't imagine, it's not normal, but maybe that's good."

I hope all of them are well, but now it's my turn, I need to go home, And I wouldn't do it in a dungeon.

A few hours have passed and I stopped flying, my wings were falling asleep, so I started using my hooves, it was impressive, it was just vegetation, in my home everything was full of pollution and human creations, buildings, houses, gas stations , walls, but this is calmer, I could get used to traveling surrounded by greenery, it's beautiful, I love seeing so much greenery.
The fauna is also beautiful, there are animals everywhere, every creature that would be in danger of extinction in my home... wow, everything I said sounds very depressaaaaAAAAAAAAA!!!"

"PUMP!!!"

"...ooh"

Something in particular of the land with a lot of vegetation, you never know where there might be a hill that looks like a wall, but is not steep enough to be called a wall... or a ravine.

"Oh damn!, when will my head stop hurting, they go three times a da...y, wow, are these statues?... Due to the black color I can deduce that they are made of obsidian, they are very large, the amount of time it must have taken to make each one of them, polishing it in stone is child's play compared to polishing it in obsidian."

*splashes*

"Damn, it started to rain, well, I have no choice but to wait here with the statues.

The first drop of rain, it was clear that it would rain too much, besides it was getting dark, I needed a place to cover myself.

"Okay, a safe place."

I found a small crack in a pile of what seemed to be rubble, when I got in it was uncomfortable but dry at least, there was nothing interesting or remarkable, just a sign that seemed to be part of one of the statues.

*In memory of Starswirl the Bearded.
For giving life and saving us from the pony of shadows.*

"I don't know who you were, but well done I guess."

It didn't take long for me to fall asleep, this was the weirdest day I've ever had, and Discord's visit to my home was a surprise.
I woke up early, the fact of being in an unknown place woke me up often, but sometimes it was the howling of the wolves that woke me up first.

"Wow, that was a long night." (Yawn)

Thanks to my always reliable artificial clock I could deduce that it was five in the morning, it had not been my best night.

"I won't complain, so I can get there earlier, my wings are rested and ready to go, it's time to go."

That smell I felt when I came out of the crack was incredible,
It was the smell of nature with humidity, at home if it rained it was more likely to smell like wet garbage, this smell left me hypnotized, it was pure nature.

"This smells amazing, if I could I would stay here longer... but it's time to continue, I don't want to spend more nights out.

The road was usually exhausting, three hours of continuous flight, the landscape was beautiful, for that alone I was not complaining.

"That was a long way, but based on my sense of location and the map I should be getting there by now, it's only a matter of minutes."

*Song in the distance.*

"...maybe it was just my imagination."

*Song in the distance.*

"... could it be that in this place there are earth sirens?"

*Song in the distance.*

"... that's illogical, that doesn't even make sense.

*Song in the distance.*

"...well, standing still won't make me find out where the singing is coming from."

I began to walk carefully and quietly, I didn't want to make noise in case it scared whatever I was singing.

"So that's where it came from." (whisper)

The song came from a cave, the echo was what made it so loud.
I decided to take a look carefully so as not to make any noise... and there it was.

"It's a pony!" (Thought)
