Chapter 1:A Stone In the River of Time

The sound of Birds fill the air as the sun came over Ponyville. The normal hustle and bustles soon over shadow the sound of the birds. A yellow Unicorn with a red main and a purple corncob on her Flank was coming out of her houses. She look around like most morning to see if anyone was around she know. But sadly, like every morning no one. She don’t know why she look. She guest it was because of her promise to her friend. She smile and wish he was here. But he was gone and she was still alone. She remember the old days went thing were simple. She walk down the street to the market. Pinky pie was jumping around and making a fool of herself. She walk up to a stall with a green earth pony name Red Cider.

“Morning Elma. I got your stuff right here.” he said putting a bag on the stall table. Elam put a bag of bits on the table and floated the bag into her sable bag.

“Thank’s.” she said turning and started to walk away. She stop and turn and headed back.

“ Hey Red. You have any luck finding that thing I ask about yet?” she whisper to Red Cider.

“Well my friend still looking. but last time I talk to him. He said he had a lead. But it will take him sometime to get it back here to ponyville.” he said whispering back.

“Well thank for all your help. Remember if it come in. Just come over to my house at any hour.” She whisper.

“I still don’t understand why you need it. Won’t you tell me?” he ask.

“It personal. I just need it and you’re the only pony I know who can find it.” she said turning and walking away.She walk to the outskirts of town and into the evergreen forest. There was a large clearing and pull the bag Red Cider gave her.

She pull a glass bottles full of chemicals and one with sand. She set he bags down by an old tree that had fallen over. She pull an old ratty book out and open it. She look up and clear the limbs with a flash of blue light from her horn. She then put the book on the fallen tree with a page open with shapes draw in it.

She pull out a bowl and started to mix the chemicals. She move from one bottle to the next. Adding a little from one and emptying others. She finish mixing and place the middle of the clearing. She took the bottle of sand and pour it in the shape from the book on the ground. She then put candles in a circle around it. Elam put the bottle off to the side and turn the page with a chant on it.

“ Hear me spirit’s of old. I bid you heed. I request that the foul demon within me would be remove with great haste. I bid you to end my suffering and remove this curse. I wish to live without this beast and rejoin my friends and family. If you remove my curse I will do your bidding.” she then follow and splash the bowl around the sand. she wait for a few minute then sigh and started to gather stuff into her bag.

“Interesting you wish to remove your curse and in exchange you’ll do my bidding.” Said a deep voices. she jump and turn around looking up.

“Who there?” she ask.

“I am a Spirit of old. I will agree to your terms on one condition. You free me from my Prison. Do you agree to my terms?” The voice eco from all around her. she continue to look around. Making shore she was alone.

“You can remove my curse and set me free?” she ask looking up.

“Yes. But only if you free from my prison. So I ask again do you agree to free me if I lift you curse?” her mind was racing.

“Speak fasts. The power that bind me to your world are fading. Quickly. will you free me?” The voice said fading.

“I Agree to your terms.” she said. A Bright beam of light fell from the sky and hit her horn.

“Then we have a deal. I will be with you in spirit until you release my body.” she look around for him.

“ Where are you?” she ask.

“I am within you. You will be the only one who can hear me. Together we will find my body and return me to it.” The deep voice sounded like it was in her head.

“I didn’t agree to this. Get out of my head.” she said swinging her head around.

“Yes. you did.” The voice said slowly.

“I Agree to free you. Not to have you move into my head.” She said looking up.

“You Agree to free me and I would remove your cures. Or are you a different Mare that call me here?” The voice said coming more clearly.

“Ok. So your going to cure my curse. If I find your body and return you to it. Correct?” she ask as she calm down.

“Yes.” he said.

“So where do we begin?” she sigh.

“ I don’t know.” he told her.

“What do you mean you don’t know?” she ask in shock.

“Well. The world change in the last 1000 years.” he said. she scream into the air.

“1000 years!!! What do you mean 1000 Years. Your body long and gone by now!” She said Very angry

“ Not Truth. You see I was turn to stone by a curse dragon. After he was defeat. I was turn to stone and now my spirit wander.” she sat down and put a hove to he chin.

“ Ok so were do we start?” she ask.

“ I Know. We can go to the library.” he said.

“ Ok let get going... um what do I call you?” she ask floating her sable bag on.

“You can call me Night. that all i remember of my name.” He said as she walk back to ponyville.
