Prologue

It was cloudy, dreary and there was the rumbling undertones of a thunderstorm threatening to break across the sky the day the pony arrived. His piercingly blue eyes peered through the dim light of the absurdly early morning, looking upon the small countryesque town of Ponyville, the seat of so many different happenings in Equestria.

He trudged on, entering the sleepy town. Guided only by memories of a dream once had long ago, he slowly tramped his way through the town, not in any rush, until he arrived at a tree.

A very specific tree.

The tree that housed Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and the Ponyville Library. The stranger smiled a wry smile.

“Right where I remember.”

He took a deep breath and looked to the cloudy, threatening sky.

“Looks like rain today.”

He gazed upon the tree once more and sighed. Swinging his knapsack down in a glow of light brown telekinesis, he rested his head upon the rough cloth full of small items and foodstuffs on the porch of the great tree, using it as a pillow as he finally, after a long time of restless nights, fell into a deep slumber.
