	"In the game of life every living thing is a piece. Some more influential than others. Now whether that influence is good or bad is a question that many have asked. I am writing this down so that future generations can know and understand the goods, and evils, of the Dragon Rangers of Alvinailey.

Now for those that don't know the Rangers of Alvinailey are all good men and women working to help the knights and the king himself to keep the peace. Some rangers sometimes manage great deeds, things, that puts their name in written history. Then they became the Dragon Rangers. You might be asking yourself "What is the difference?", well its simple though their goals are the same the Dragon Rangers answer to no one except the dragon that made them.

I am one of these Rangers and I have no dragon any longer. My name is Shobbit O'Gale and I killed my dragon master and am now able to write this journal and work on correcting what evils I was forced to do. I will also try to save the others and if I can't I will stop them from bringing further harm."

Twilight Sparkle then set aside the piece of paper that fell out of a book she had found and just read. She then quickly looked over the simple yellow page and only found the one entry in elegant hoof writing. "This is amazing, Spike! We now have a whole new mystery to solve. I'm going to need everything we have on the Ancient Civilizations of Equis." Spike rolled his eyes at how eager Twilight was getting about the old piece of paper but went to do as she asked him.





Shobbit O'Gale stood triumphantly over his most resent kill, the Magic Dragon. Taking in raged breaths and watching the moisture of his breath freeze and become fog in the deadly cold temperatures of the Alvinailey North, he drew his Dragon-scale  knife and knelt down so as to skin a portion of the scales from the last dragon in Alvinailey. As he worked the seven foot tall human thought about the past twenty-three years of his life, "So much in so little time. Now what should I do with my life? With every dragon gone I guess I could try to settle down." Shobbit was so caught up in his work that he didn't notice the magical glow of prismatic colors escaping from the bleeding wound of the dragon he was skinning. Finally looking at is blood stained hands he noticed the light slowly getting brighter and only had the chance to mutter "Oh, shit!" before the light consumed him and disappeared leaving only the frozen barren waste land that was the Alvinailey North.





Luna was watching over her night as always, she had made the night sky as wonderful as ever when she felt a surge of magic high within her night. Gazing up in curiosity she saw two stray meteors, one was quite large and would cause numerous damage when it landed the second was smaller and with a quick spell she could tell that it was going to land somewhere in the Everfree Forest not really harming anypony. While the small meteor was okay to let pass the Princess of the Night wouldn't allow the larger one to strike Ponyville like its predicted path said it would. "You shall listen to me the Mistress of the Night!!" Luna shouted to the large meteor as she gathered her magic and started straining to redirect it even against its fighting her magic.

After a five minute struggle which left Luna breathing heavily and a bit of sweat beading down her forehead the large meteor had been moved so it would land out in the Badlands far away from anypony. Nodding in satisfaction Luna then went inside so she could write a letter to be sent to Twilight Sparkle in the morning asking her to go and investigate the smaller meteor site.





Spike had been looking out a window of the Castle of Friendship and has seen the meteors, "Uh, I didn't think Luna had meteors planned for tonight?" He mused to himself as he watched the smaller one land in the Everfree "Whoa!! That meteor must be made of something special to not have burned up. I need to tell Twilight." The small dragon then turned tail and ran toward the library where he had left Twilight with her strange study session about the mysterious page she found. When he entered the library it was a mess with all the books about Ancient Equestria and the world as a whole, and sitting in the middle with a disheveled look was Twilight Sparkle. "Hey Twilight?" Spike started before realizing she was of in a trance muttering.

"There has to be something. I mean its not like this page came from another world right?" Twilight asked herself almost on the verge of a breakdown she was so well known around town for. "Yeah the mannerisms are a little strange but this has to be something of Ancient Equestria!" Spike sighed and was about to take in a deep breath when he belched and caught a letter with practiced precision. The small drake opened the letter that had Luna's seal and quickly read it his eyes widening.

"Uh... Twilight you might really want to read this! Princess Luna says that a meteor crashed in the Everfree, which I saw and was about to tell you actually, and she wants us to check it out in the morning." Spike said loud enough that it pulled Twilight from her current state of mind as she turned to look at him.

"A request to go study something alien from the Princess herself?" Spike nodded yes as Twilight's smile grew, "Alright then! We'll head out with the girls first thing in the morning." she then happily trotted of to her bedroom to catch a few moments of sleep.
