//------------------------------// // Leaving the Calm // Story: The Sakido Enigma: Welcome to Equestria // by AzureShark //------------------------------// The Sakido Enigma: Welcome to Equestria By: rradt2001 Sakido Elexion is my official name, I was adopted by an angel called Darius. I am dead, but it is peaceful here. The calm is overwhelming, so is my sorrow. Being so close to freedom, just to have it snatched away from you. I knew from the time I was told by my real parents, when Demons die they don't go to hell or heaven. We just, die. For awhile I thought that I would be here forever, but I saw something, a light unlike anything I've ever seen. It radiated serenity, as it beckoned me I moved towards it, and then I was surrounded by the light. As the light faded I felt something, a body, my body. All I saw was what should be the sky. "Is this what the sky is like on Medius?"I thought to myself. I got up and saw a magnificent sight, a forest. I had only heard of them from my friend who wrote to me. He had said that they were filled with trees, like my bonsai except thicker trunks and taller. It was a magnificent sight. But it didn't last long, I noticed that everything was brightly colored. As if someone decided to take all the colors and amplify them to the max. When my friend told me what color everything is he said it was more dull, not brightly colored. I also noticed some flowers, they were vibrant in color. It didn't last long because I heard sounds. I peaked from out of a bush, barely able to conceal me due to my height. And saw a creature unlike anything I've seen. Its color was lavender. It stood on four legs and had a tail, wings and a horn on its head. Sort of like the unicorn myth from Medius. "Come on girls, lets investigate what happened." The Lavender one said. After the lavender one followed five more, two with nothing, one with just a horn, and two with just wings. All a variety of color. Different from the other. "In time I should reveal myself, but not now."I thought. ~~Princess Celestia~~ At the arrival of Sadiko It was a normal day in canterlot, nothing much happening, but then there was a burst of magical energy coming from a forest near Ponyville. "I must stay in Canterlot, but I will get Twilight to investigate."I thought. "Dear, Twilight I require your assistance in Investigating in the forest next to you, not the everfree though. I just felt burst of energy from that vicinity. But I must stay in Canterlot just in case something pops up. Thanks, Princess Celestia" ~~Twilight~~ This was a nice, peaceful day. Nothing to worry about. Until that letter arrived. Now that me and my friends are ready, we can do investigate. "You ready girls?" I asked. "Yea!" They chorused. I just hope it's not a monster. ~~Sakido~~ A few hours had passed by, leaving me hungry. I had no idea where I could eat, because I've never eaten before. So I found a wild apple tree and ate. "Thank Gaia that I had such a good friend to tell me what an apple tree looks like."I thought, thankful I didn't have to die again to hunger. After eating a few apples I decided to wander, pondering on what I should do. It was so peaceful, the only sound was that of the wind rustling the leaves. I also noticed that the trees were in rows, most likely planted on purpose. About a few moments later I heard talking, so I decided to listen in on the conversation. "This is going to be awesome!" A child's voice came. "Yea, today is the day we get our cutie marks in being underwater treasure hunters!" Said another. Then I heard a clank and apparently they left, because there was no more conversation. So, I decided to follow them not wanting them to get hurt. So, as it turns out, after a few hours of watching them I thought they were safe, ohhhh boy was I wrong. They went under the crystal clear water and I saw little reed things pop up, most likely a source of air. After a few moments of this, I noticed that the water was becoming murky from most likely mud. Then is happened, the reeds disappeared and I saw bubbles floating up. So, I dived in. It was very hard, there was a monster of sorts in the lake, trying to suffocate them, I freed them and then it grabbed me, shaking me around vigorously. My last thoughts were; "Will I die again?" "What is it?" A voice said. "Ah dunno, but whatever it is we better not mess with it." Another voice said, thick with an accent. "Clearly it saved us, I mean it did pull us away from the monster." A third followed. Then I open my eyes to see three small looking creatures. Presumably young ones due to their voice. "Who are you three?" I asked, my voice soft due to my drowning earlier. "We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" They chorused. "Sorry miss, we didn't think you could talk. By the way my name is Apple Bloom!" Said Apple Bloom. "My name is Scootaloo." She said. "And I'm Sweetiebelle." Said Sweetiebelle. "Ok, but I must ask you to please give me room to stand." I said, holding back on my aggravated side, not wanting to make them tell their guardians about me. As I stood their eyes got wider and wider, as I spread my wings they looked as if they could faint. "You look awesome!" Scootaloo commented. "Thanks, but I must go." I said. "Bye, we hope to see you again soon!" Said Sweetiebelle. As I walked back into the forest, I noticed how lonely I was. My only company was the trees. "I just hope tomorrow is a ripe opportunity for my introduction." I thought as I drifted to sleep.
