"Well this isn't Shipwreck Shore..." A strange boy muttered. He looked like he came from a tropical island and had blue eyes, brown hair, and was wearing a blue t-shirt and shorts. After a flash of bright light, he was standing out front of a farmhouse, looking confused and tired. Walking up to the door, the boy knocked... completely unaware that the time difference made it three in the morning. 

Applejack was woken up by Winowna's barking for the third time in a row. She stumbled out of bed and went downstairs to quiet the dog, when she realized she was right. There was indeed someone outside. AJ hesitated on opening the door, but upon seeing the boy slipped outside. 

The stranger smiled kindly at her. He was around her age, he could perhaps be a teenager from school, but she'd never seen him around before. "Excuse me, I'm looking for directions back to The Academy." 

"Well, Ah don't reckon Ah know what 'Academy' you're talkin about," Aj said, "but round here, we don't go waking up folks at three in the morning just to talk 'bout school."

"Well, you see, I'm sort of lost. You haven't seen any instances of Shadow Magic around here, have you?" The boy said, as if magic was the most natural topic of conversation at this hour. "I think it might be the cause of my sudden teleportation to your doorstep. I'm very sorry about that, by the way. My name is Caspian. And you might be?" 

"Ahm Applejack. Now, if you're lost, why don't ya come in and we can wait til morning to figure things out." She opened the door for Caspian who gratefully accepted her offer. 

"Thank you, Applejack. I'm from a place called Prodigy Island, but I'll tell you about it in the morning." Caspian suddenly yawned. "I'm honestly quite tired." 

Aj pointed to the couch. "You can sleep there. Winowna, keep an eye on this one." She gave Caspian another glance, then went back upstairs, trusting her dog to keep watch over the strange boy in her living room.
