Things are meant to be forgotten....Sometimes things aren't meant to be remembered...Some things should never have been seen..... And importantly if there are stories made up for those things.....
Sometimes not even God will save you from what will happen.
Chapter 1

Legend Of The Everfree Forest
It was Nightmare Night as the darkness of the night had gone darker. All the fillies and colts had already given their candy to Nightmare Moon also known as Princess Luna. The moon glowed and shined its brightest it seemed like if the moon did it just to make the darkness look beautiful. The fillies returned to the ongoing festival in the center of town.
Zecora, in her costume, had set up her cauldron and was sitting. waiting for the children to come up to her. As she took her time looking around the festivities, she gazed at the moon with awe.
Great thanks to you, and me too, for giving nightmare night more fright.She rhymed to herself. She then noticed the children were all gathered up to the cauldron.

"Come children now for I will tell you a legend, of two kingdoms that had themselves threatened” As Zecora chanted her rhymes, Pipsqueak trotted to the zebra as he looked kindly and her and said,
"what kind of legend?" Zecora smiled kindly to the colt's question.
She looked at the young colt's eyes to reply to his question.

"A good question, young Pip. Listen well, and get ready for a trip, for this a tale is of the purist…” she paused for a dramatic effect, and then finished with “the legend of the Everfree forest," as she finished the sentence, with good timing, there was a loud crash of thunder that came out of nowhere. The fillies and colts let out a series of screams of fright and excitement.

"Settle down little ones. need not worry, for you are quite safe as long as you listen to this story," Her rhymes were spoken like a poem filled with mystery.
the children became calmer for her words comforted them. they gathered closely around to find what tale that the enchantress was so eager to tell.

"when darkness finds light, there lies a creature concealed in stone forever, waiting for the day it will begin it ever-fearing fright for its revenge on those sealed it away this very night," She rhymed, the fillies and colts are now more eager to listen to her tale.

"But if you set hoof in his domain, you will soon disappear for ever never to be seen or heard from again. It stalks its victims and his victims turn insane. Many tried, but all failed and many died," the fillies and colts were scared and even more excited to listen to her story.

"And this creature.....Always wins no matter what will happen nor what you do....It never loses."
Twilight, standing next to one of the listeners, looked confused more than shocked of Zecora's explanation of the creature.

"What is this creature that you are talking about Zecora?" She asked as the rest of the five entered the group of fillies and colts.

“The name I speak of is Slendermane," Zecora replied.

"You mean that old scary ponies tale," said Rainbow Dash, it turns out that she was also listening with Twilight when Zecora was talking. "It's just an old ponies story meant to keep fillies and colt
out of the everfree forest," Dash said.


"That is what I said there was no need for you to repeat what I said,"
"Oh sorry," Rainbow Dash said sheepishly. Zecora smiled and looked back at the group

"Back to the story," zecora said

As the tale begun and as the moon kept its masterpiece still strong.
But the Legend is not fake about that.....
The Everfree forest has a stalker.

Because after everypony had gone to bed, Princess Luna had gone home to Canterlot. A pulse of dark energy moved across the land undetected by any unicorns, only to be detected by the Royal Sisters. Luna, who was already up, felt his presence awaken after 1,120 years of his imprisonment. She would have to tell her sister before it is too late......she would have to tell Celestia the return of....

SLENDER MANE
until next time, if you dare to continue into this nightmare....
