The Recruitment

Author's Note:

sorry for the long wait i had hoped to get these chapters out a lot sooner than i have been, hope you all enjoy thanks !!

“MOM!, DAD!, i’m back and i have something to ask you”i yelled as i came back from my field trip to Canterlot and our flights in the Pegasus’ only to realize both my parents were in the living room looking at me like i was a lunatic. “honey do you need to yell?” my mother asked in that annoyed motherly tone. sheepishly i blushed and apologized while i came in and told my parents what happened in Canterlot and the meeting with the Blazing Angels as well as the princesses and judging by the pale colour of their faces i could tell they were a little queasy about my whole field trip experience. “... and he said they were looking for recruits particularly in the PonyVille area so i was thinking of s…” my story being cut short by a quick cuff to the back of the head by my father and a strong no by my mother which led to lots of yelling and crying and anger, feeling like they just told me my dog died I fled to the whitetail woods just at the edge of town to sit down and have a think in a spot I discovered long ago when I had another fleeting moment of running away.

Once I reached the woods I slowed down and taking a quick look around making sure nopony was around I trotted off the path for about 15 minutes or so til I hit a spot that looked picture perfect a beautiful cascading waterfall into an underground pool and unnoticed by the Pegasi that lived around the forest by the tall trees obscuring the view from the sky but just before the sun sets it shines on the falls and shows a cave that was previously obscured by the shadows of the cliff face and falls. Still a little upset about what my parents told me I sped around to a bush near the cliff face and pulled out a rope attached to a bag full of camping and spelunking equipment (that I bought after I found this place), tying the rope around a tree and the other end around the bag I lowered it down the gorge till it was level with the opening of the cave
Swinging like a crazy pony I pushed through to the cave and pulling on a slip knot realesing the bag and myself into the cave. After checking to see that nothing was damaged or broken I picked up the bag careful of my wings and trekked into the cave amazed by the stalimites and stagnimites and the glowing veins of celestial metal ore that I would mine if it wasn't considered a scarce and sacred metal meaning that mining it might get me arrested and it is easy to trace back to its origin thanks to the fact that it leaves a residue aura on the person that can only be seen with the right spell. After a few minutes of stumbling through the dark since my matches are wet and the lighter was also wet, meant no laturn and no light but up ahead was a gleaming blue light that I had never seen before on my past adventures in the cave, upon arriving at the source I realized it was a plant that seemed to be metallic and phospholumineciant but I couldn't place what it was since I had never learned about in school and had never read about it in a book, maybe it was a new undiscovered plant but what made me doubt that was what was being luminated by the plant a small text on a stone that read
" it happened today the plant blossomed and produced a bud what was in the bud I won't know the odd thing is looking and working with this plant has made me learn that I am missing something I feel a yearning like my sister was keeping something from me but I wasn't sure what I'll take some samples and a few seeds back home and run experiments from my room determining if this is an edible or toxic plant more notes to follow. - Luna"

I wasn't expecting that I wonder how old that plant is and why it's in that cave, maybe I'll write to princess luna asking her about it since it has her seal on the notes. As I thought through this and proceeded back out of the cave not even mad about what happened earlier with my parents back at the house.

Once I got back I noticed that my parents had gone out and dinner was left out for me along with a note that read
" Guardian Angel,
We won't try to stop you if you believe that by joining this group you will do good for Equestria but be careful out there war is a scary thing and not for the faint hearted and promise you'll come back and write often
-love mom & dad
With the note in hoof and determination on my face I galloped over to the recruitment station by the library and knocking on the door, I see that the person who answered was none other than spark fire who just smiled and said " glad you could make it kid, we were waiting for you!"
