The Land Of The Greedy: Equestria

Grey Skies And Wishing That I Was Home

I stepped off of the boat and waved my hat at the captain. I watched the ship sail back over the waves.

"ALLL RIGHT!" I jumped in the air, taking in my surroundings. The dock we had landed on was short, and old, and it was attached to a large wooden platform that had 5 buildings on it, a large inn, a general store, and 3 houses. I walked up to the general store, the rotting wood creaking beneath my feet. About 7 planks in front of the store, my hinds legs broke the wood and fell through.

"AAAAH!" I grabbed onto the plank in front of my and looked down. About 26 feet down was some very murky water moving rapidly in a circle.

Who's great idea was it to build a town, ON TOP OF A WHIRLPOOL! I screamed out in my head.

Suddenly, the plank I was holding onto broke in half and I fell down towards the whirlpool, when I felt a hoof around my waist, pulling me up back onto the wooden platform. I closed my eyes, scared out of my wits.

"Um, miss, are you okay?" I heard a soft yet masculine voice say. I slowly squinted open my eyes and saw the face of a grey colt right in front of mine.

"Ah!" I jumped back and hit my head on a wall of one of the houses. "Ow!" I clutched my head with my hooves.

"Sorry! Um, are you okay?" The grey colt leaned in close to me, his bright green eyes locked onto mine.

"Um, er..." I blushed, then turned away trying ot hide it. Great Celestia was he handsome...

I shook my head rapidly. What was i thinking? A traveling writer can't get married, let alone hav foals! "Hmm." I cleared my throaght. "Yes, I'm fine." The grey colt stepped back and helped me get up. I grabbed his hoof and got onto all fours.

"My name is Cloudy Daze, I'm pegasus, I live here." He help out his hoof, and I shook it awkwardly.

"My name is Rose Hawk, I'm a traveling writer, I'm writing an article about Equestria." Suddenly, Cloudy Daze's face turned cold and serious.

"About Equestria? Don't you know what happened?" I shook my head. "Er, well, you should leave. Now."

I was taken aback. "What! Um, why?" He shook his head.

"Just, leave. It's too dangerous." I was angry, to say the least. At first he helps me, now, he wants me to leave.

"I'm not leaving! You can't tell me what to do!" I began to walk out, when I felt his hoof on my back. It sent shivers up my spine. I heard his voice, soft and kind.

"Please, at least let me come with you. I can help you stay safe." I rolled my eyes at his serousness.

"Ugh! Fine, you can come with me, you live here, so I suppose you know more about this place than that website I was looking at." He nodded and walked out of the old wood-plank house. He lead me to the inn.

"This is the inn, basically, a bunch of houses put together." He pointed to the small general store. "Basic store, supplies, provisions, yada yada yada." I nodded.

"Well, as the leader of this mission, I think that we should camp out yonder there." I gestured to the inn.

"Yes capatin, sounds wonderful indeed, shall I go hunting for dinner, then, while you set up camp?" I saw a childish glimmer in his eyes. I put on a mock serious face.

"Now, what makes you think that a lady can't do the dirty work?" I flexed my imaginary muscles, and, not able to keep it in, bust out laughing.

Stormy Gaze wiped his eyes, and, it was only when he was walking off towards the general store did I notice that he was a pegasus.

Lol the romance part of this just randomly happened, Rose Hawk needed another character to provide comical relief, while still complicating things late ron

The story is alright atm. Only two or three grammar & spelling errors here and there.
I'll try to keep up with this story and how it develops.
