//------------------------------// // New Beginings // Story: The Journey of Shadow Walker // by JeremyPunk //------------------------------// [My shadow Shadowmere talks in these] All thought that are not mine are in Italics {If I ever do want to respond to Shadowmere silently i talk in these} So it started out like an other day. I was walking on this all too familiar dirt path through all of Equestria that i've walked on for so long. Suddenly, there was light in my eyes, REALY. BRIGHT. LIGHT. There I was, blinded and running in circles screeming, "I'M SO GOING TO DIE!" like a fool. But then, [Are you going to shut up anytime soon?] "Oh come on Shadowmere, you now I get like this in these situations!" [Says the nerd pony with a talking physical shadow entitie as his special talent AND, only friend/companion] "Dude......THAT, was uncalled for." In case Shadowmere didn't make it clear enough, I'm sort of a nerd. But first of all, my appearence. I'm actually decently tall, also my body is a litle *ahem* huskier [Fater] than other ponies. Average muscle mass, almost pitch black coat with an ash grey muzle. My mane is a dark redish brown with sort of ginger like orange highlights. Surprisingly enough, my tail is a completely different color than my mane, it's black like my coat yet in the middle its a pure dark blue.....never understood that. Oh, last details, my eyes are a deep gray blue, I wear Grey trimmed glasses, a blue watch on my left fore hoof, and my cutie mark is a Yin-Yang. Yin(Black) representing Shadowmere, and Yang(White) representing me. I'm also a Pegasus. Well back to the nerd thing. I wasn't vey popular at school. As I think of it, I never had a single friend until Shadowmere and my cutie mark showed up. [Damn straight boy!] "What did I say about reading my thoughts?" [OH! U-uh, lots of horrible things that involved bread crumbs and beaver spit?] "Thats a good boy!" Now back to the the nerd story. Like I said, no friends. I didn't mind though. My grades were near perfect (my penmanship is awful in english) so I was exceptionaly smarter than most of the people who bullied me. But away from that. Once I turned 18 I moved out of my parents house to travell Equestria with Shadowmere by my side. Back to the road I was on now though, thats all in my past, and i've been travelling just to forget it. I was walking twords a small village named "Ponyville". From what I heard, It's an amazing place but I was supposed to watch out for one of the element of harmony, Twilight Sparkle I think her name was? Been traveling so long I never really kept with current events. Something that still irked me was that light......what was it about? Well, I'm here now so lets put that aside. First thing I notice is a perfectly clear sky. It's been a while since I've seen one of them, it makes me happy but sad. Clear skys allways remind me of my family and *sigh* enemies at school. It's funny how clear sky's are to me, how the definition of the Yin-Yang is. I seemed to always get bullied the worst on cloudless days, but always had the best times with my family on them. Then it hit me, quite litteraly. A cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane crashed right into me. Shadowmere hid behind a building silently laughing his flank off. When I got up I turned to face my attacker who proceded to apollogize. "Oh, heh heh, sorry 'bout that, I lost controll when doing a stunt and crashed...into you heh." To which I replied smart(ass)ly, "It's fine. I love a good bowl of ground for breakfeast in the morning." [*sniff* i've taught you so well *sniff sniff*] "WELL GEEZE! I said sorry!" she said angrily. Now to mix some smart assery and be appologizing for being one, "One: apology accepted. TWO: I'm sorry also. I can't help but be a smart-flank sometimes." "Well......" my skittled maned aquatence hummed while looking me up and down. [WHY AM I OVERCOME WITH SUDDEN PROUDNESS FOR YOU!?] {Shut it.} "You do seem preaty cool by the looks of you. Wait......pegasus. *GASP* You're a new pegasus in town! I must race you! Now." I was abou to say something that would kill her, and my, mood, "Sorry but I forgot how to fly long ago." I sadly stated. YOU HEARD IT HERE FOLKS! Come here come all! The grown stallion who can't fly! Great. Now my brain hates me. "What do you mean 'can't fly'!" "Well~. Unless you want my life story than I can't exactly tell you." I inquired "That's good to hear because my friends and I have no plans today. We could use a good story." "Are you absolutely sure? There are some dark and sad moments and secrets in my past." "120 percent sure! Come to Ponyville square in about thirty minutes, 'kay? "Fine bye me. See you there Miss....." That's when I realized I never asked her name. "It's RainbowDash, fastest flyer in Equestria!" "Okay than. See you there RainbowDash. Oh, and by the way, I'm Shadow Walker." "See ya Shadow Walker." After she flew out of eye-sight, Shadowmere came out from the buildings shadow (or giggle lair at this point....) [20 bits she's a lesbian] "Even though we share money, okay, you're on." We then Bro-hoofed to seal the deal. ***2 minutes later*** [Is it time to go yet! Huh,HUH! "No it's only been two minutes. Also, stop being a bitch, go eat a Snickers or something." [GREAT, JUST GREAT! We have to bugger all to do for twenty eight minutes, AND, now you're using my own jokes on me! "Its what you get for being more of an asshole than me. That's saying a lot." [Well We could always practice our powers,right?] "Good point. We haven't trained since Staliongrad. Lets go to the Everfree Forest so we don't Disturb anybo- I mean anypony. God, you're rubbing off on me more than i like you to be. [You just said God instead of Celestia also.] Just......AGH......COME ON LETS JUST GO ALREADY....friggen troll...." [He's so mad bro.] A/N: So. What did you think of the first chapter? And a note on critisizim. Don't be to hard on me because I'm only going on a 7th grade writing education. P.S.
