//------------------------------// // A Journey's Beginning // Story: Uniting The Kingdoms // by Peaceheart //------------------------------// A Journey's Beginning Cantermont A young mage sat at a large desk in the castle library. She had paper to her right, feathers, ink and pencils to her left and a notebook in front of her. She wore a red vest with a white short-sleeved shirt under it, a purple tie around her neck, a pink skirt, plaid red, purple and pink shoes, blue combed hair with a strip of purple and orange eyes, her name was Page Tune. She was one of the top mages, the best of the best and Princess of Friendship's personal student. She was a Magian, a red mark of a piece of paper and a blue music note was on her back, hidden from one's view. She had the markings of a Magian on her back as well, but no one could see it. A tall young women entered the castle's library. She had a purple dress on with a yellow under layer, a crown of magenta jewel, combed long dark blue hair with a purple and pink strip and purple eyes. "Hello Princess Twilight," Page said with a smile. The Princess of Friendship smiled and walked over to her, a scroll in her right hand. "Well, hello Page, I know that it's hard here, but it's going to be alright, okay? Now, show me how your Growth Spell is doing," Princess Twilight Sparkle said. Page nodded and grabbed a small rose plant from the floor and put it on her desk. She put her hands to the sides of the rose and red magic began to form in her hands ad she concentrated. The rose began to grow, more and more, and the magic began to stop. Twilight looked at the large rose and was very happy, she turned to Page and saw that Page was looked at her pet weasel. "Page, good job, now I want to give you a special task, one that will change everything," Twilight began. She took notice that Page and her weasel were staring at her with amusement, excitement and fear. "Okay, you are aware that the three kingdoms; Terran, Skybound and Magian, are no longer united. I want you to go make friends and try to unite the kingdoms, I am fully aware that this is a huge task, but I know you can do it," Twilight said. "Where do you want me to start?" Page asked. "In Grinorg, the home of one of my friends, Rarity. She will help you get clothing as you pack, now you must hurry, after that, you're going to Evian," Twilight said. Page quickly grabbed her stuff and put it into her red backpack and raced out if the library to the courtyard were her carriage awaited her. She climbed in and waved good bye as she left. Twilight waved back, but once Page was out of sight, she walked to a bookshelf and pulled out a large book. "You must unite us Page. You must save our kingdoms," Twilight said as she stared at the old leather book. She quickly put it back and began to go upstairs. Cloudfront A young girl slept quietly on the cloud. She had a white tank top under her blue long-sleeved jacket, ripped blue jeans, a pair of grey goggles on her head, red shoes with lightning on the side, green hair with yellow and blue zig zagged strips and green eyes. Her name was Sky Drop, the fastest girl and skilled girl at her school. She was friends, well best friends with a girl who was just about the opposite of herself. They were best friends since 1st grade. Her best friend was Lily Petal, the slowest, shyest and fearful girl at her school. Lily had light green hair with a purple flower behind her right ear, a light pink dress with green shorts under, blue shoes with a flower on it, purple eyes and a butterfly necklace. They both had the Skybound markings on their backs and a special marking on their arm. Sky's marking on her arm was a cloud with a rain drop and lightning under it. While Lily's marking was a flower with a butterfly next to it. Lily's personality compared to Sky's was a polar opposite. Sky was active, fast, strong, skilled, athletic, brave, adventurous, loud, aggressive and protective, while Lily was shy, quiet, weak, scared, artistic, graceful, slow, delicate, calm, sweet, friendly, nervous, timid, cowardly, meek, careful, sensitive and humble. No one would have ever guessed that those two were friends. Lily walked on the clouds and made her way to Sky. She tapped on her shoulder, but nothing happened, she did it again and again. After the tenth tap, Sky grabbed Lily's hand and punched her hard in the stomach. Lily yelped in pain as she fell to her side and cried in pain. Sky yawned as she woke up, stretching, she turned and saw that Lily was crying and knew what had happened. "Oh my gosh! I'm sorry Lily! Are you okay?!" Sky said as she went to her friends side. Sky let Lily cry a bit longer, knowing how sensitive Lily was. Lily wiped away the tears and slowly and painfully stood up. "I-I-I'm fine," Lily said with a fake smile, but Sky wasn't buying that. "I'm sorry," Sky said as she looked down with shame. "It's alright, mistakes happen," Lily said as she hugged Sky. "What are you doing here?" Sky asked after the hug. "Oh, I wanted to go to Evian, and I wanted to see if you wanted to come," Lily said. "Um... sure, that sounds fun, I guess," Sky said with a shrug. Lily and Sky walked on a large cloud and wings formed on their backs, Sky's a sky blue and Lily's a light green. They jumped off the cloud and headed for Evian. Grinorg Page jumped off the carriage as they reached Rarity's Boutique. She entered the store and a young lady with curly purple hair, a long white dress, heels, blue eyes and blue eye liner walked to the counter. "Hello Page, come, I got all your clothes ready," the lady said. Page followed the lady, Rarity, to a line of clothes. Red, purple and pink outfits were hung on hangers and Rarity used her magic to shrink the clothes. She handed Page the shrunken clothes and Page put them in her backpack. "Remember the clothes will go to normal size in the closet. Oh, be careful," Rarity said from her door as Page ran back to the carriage. Page waved good bye as they felt. She was on her way to Evian. It was going to be a day until she would be there, and she began to take a nap as she thought about Twilight's message. Evian Page was woken up by a her weasel as she stretched and yawned, a man in a golden uniform opened the door. She got out and she was in a Terran town, afraid and scared as the carriage went back to Cantermont. She looked at her pet and they began to look for food. The only problem was that she didn't know what to do, she was in a Terran Town and she knew something was behind her.
