      The name is Charlotte Greenfield, though most people just call me Charlie. I have spent my life protecting Earth and the beaughtiful creatures that inhabit her. I love everything from the smallest ant to the most exotic zebra. Two days ago I finally accomplished my goal and made it a class 1 felony to so much as harm an animal on purpose. 
     I was in Antartica on an expedition to see penguins, when an avalanche starts. A baby penguin was running away to no prevail. I dived for the poor baby only to be covered in the snow and trapped and freezing. 
    When I finally accepted death I felt a pull and feel the warm sun on my face. When I look up I stare into the most beautiful face I had ever seen and wander who she is.
     "Hello my daughter of Earth," says the strange woman, "Are you alright?" As I look her up and down she is wearing a green dress that seems to serve as a type of camoflage. She constantly blends into the scenery behind her.
     "I guess," I told the strange woman, "but where am I, and who are you?" I was in a forest clearing and there were squirrels and rabbits everywhere.
     "Why I am the creator of all things of beaughty, the master, the artist, the caring gaurdian," she speaks in a riddle, "I am Mother Nature and your in my place of peace the final resting ground for all animals."
     I take this all in, having trouble believing it but know it to be true and feel the power radiating from her. "Why am I here Mistress?" I ask.
     "You have proven yourself to be pure of heart and have a proper respect of nature, I must ask of you a favor."
     "What might that be ma'am?"
     "Out of all the realms I created one was more beautiful than you can begin to imagine, it was a place of nature, of place of peace and equality. Thousands of years ago it was taken over by a power of chaos and evil."
     "But what does this have to do with me?"
     "Several hundred years ago peace was restored by great sisters of magic, and nature returned to normal with them guiding its actions. But now a new evil is arising, and I cant tell what. I need you to save the planet of complete nature and keep its peace and balance."
    At this point I was worried as I had no clue what I was about to get into, but that didn't matter because if there were creatures going to be harmed I had to put a stop to it.
     "What must I do my lady?"
     "I'll send you down to the planet near someone who can help you, if you lucky you may not have to fight him first. Since you have no way to defend yourself, I will give you the blessing of nature. You will be able to speak to the animal and trees, and control the wind and the earth."
     "But that may still not be enough so I give you this magic bow 'eftheai voli' or staight shot in English. Any shot made with this bow will hit it's target.  I give you the magic quiver 'ateleiotos velos' or Never-Ending Arrow that will give you a constant supply of magic razor sharp arrows to shoot, and if combat comes to close I give you 'metatrepsoun prosopiko' transforming staff. It will become any material you need it to be."
     "I will do my best, my mistress."
     "I know you will which is why you are now my 'kidemonas tou fysi' Guardian of Nature. Now go an wake up."
     She pushes me onto the grass below and suddenly I awaken next to a mysteriously deep woods. I am prepared to fight. As I walk along the edge of the woods I spot someone sitting on a hill in the distance.
     As I come close I begin to see the look of the man. He seemed around sixteen wore a grey hoodie with blue jeans and had a dagger hanging off his waist. I snuck up from behind when all of a sudden I'm grabbed and shoved to the ground, he covers my mouth with one hand and holds the dagger to my throat with the other. God this guy was fast. 
     I see his face and his blue eyes when he speaks, "I told you people to leave me the fucking hell alone, and I wasn't kidding." 
     "Mmmhhhmmmhhm," I mumbled intellegently. He presses the blade into my throat and a small trickle of blood slides down. As I watch his hand absorbs the blood like a sponge. 
     I turn to his face and see his eyes flash into a color of pure gold, and his teeth become pointed and jagged.
     "This is you last warning," he muttered. He let me go and dashed off into the night. Quickly going for my quiver I grab an arrow labeled 'Tracker' and shoot it. I see a small bead release from the arrow and hit the man.
    Confused as to what just happened and a little sore I bandaged my throat with some herbal leaves an went on. Heading around the woods I find a path. One way heads North one South.
     I start heading North because I can see light in the distance. As I get really close I notice alot of small charming buildings. I turn and see a sign that read 'Ponyville, Equestria' and was immediately confused. Ok super nature-filled world has a town called Ponyville.
      I'm going to guess that there is alot of ponies here which would explain the farm I see to the East. When I reach it I realize It's an Appletree and decide to give my new powers a spin. 
     "Um, hello?" I ask the tree. 
     "Yes master of nature?" said th tree.
     "May I sleep in your branches, and perhaps eat an apple or two?"
     "Of course master."
     I climbed up and ate an apple. 
     "Goodnight appletree" and I drifted to sleep, but right before I do I could've swore I saw a ponie on it's hind legs and wearing a stoic, naaaaaah.
