The Beginning of a New Era
Chapter 1

"I never thought in any life of mine that one tiny thing such as an wild ancestry could change my life forever, but after the discovery of my past pony ancestor. Everything began to change."

-----------------------

"Sirius."

After no answer the teacher called again.

"Sirius!"

A young man age 18 snow white hair and blue eyes shot up from his desk. He looks around and rubs his eyes in hopes to find the one that interrupted his sleep. He looks up to see his history teacher Miss Rackles standing over him. He smiles widely hoping that he wasn't in any trouble.

"Sirius. See me after class."

He drops his act and head as he sigh's. He always found history the most boring of all subjects which always help motivate his exhaustion to overtake him. The rest of the of the class went by slowly and painfully; When the bell finally rang Sirius walked to the back of the classroom to Miss Rackles desk. She sat there sifting through various papers.

"Sirius why do you continue to disrespect me in my class?"

"But I wasn't-!" He was cut off.

"I want you to do a 5 page essay on your ancestry. I would also like photographic evidence of you visiting a place that is related to your ancestors."

Sirius blows a lock of his snow hair up out of his face. The young adults arms were crossed expressing his defiance to the subject at hand.

"You may now be dismissed."

He grabs his bang and leaves only to be caught by his friend waiting outside.

"What did miss grumple say?"

Ashley.. Brown long and wavy hair with green eyes. Caucasian skin and the body of an hour glass. She has been Siruis's best friend since kindergarten. She has always been his first crush.

Sirius leans against the wall and slides downward. "I have to do a 5 page essay on my ancestry..."

Ashley winces almost as if the words had a painful sting to them.

"I also have to show photographic evidence of place related to them."

"Is there even a known place related to your umm ancestry?"

"I read that there was an excavating site, but that's all."

"How is you only read just that!?"

"I started reading then this ad for the new My Little Pony show starring Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack as the mane 6 popped up! Blame the show not me."

"Isn't that supposed to tell the stories of your ancestors or something?"

"Pshh I doubt it so all I have is that dig site!"

"Guess grumple really has it out for you this time." Ashley says extending a hand.

Sirius's takes the hand and stands back up. "This sucks."

"Maybe it won't be so bad?"

Sirius's begins walking down the hall. "I am supposed to be related to fictional talking, magic using, flying horses. There is barely any information on them and any info that I might find is bound to be fake."

"Come on if there wasn't any information on this then you wouldn't have been confirmed by that weird business dude."

"I was barely confirmed with it and even back then the evidence was skeptical at best."

A warning bell signaled the near ending of the period transfer.

"I better get to my next class."

"Alright bye Ashley."

Sirius's continues his way down the halls of his school. The seemed almost endless at this rate.

"At least I don't have to deal with any-."

Sirius stops as he is thrown to the ground. "Bullies."

"Well if it isn't Princess Sirius princess of all things pink and girly!" Teresa laughed.

Teresa was the your below average bully just likes to pick on you for fun, bad grades, gets in trouble a lot, and picks on people like me.

"Go away Teresa I have work to get to."

Thankfully Sirius didn't take all classes. He did finish some early therefore he was able to get out of school earlier than others.

"Awwwww do have to tend to your royal subject! Or maybe kiss babies."

Sirius had enough he simply just got up and left walking away. Teresa didn't follow except smiled manically and waved. He continued to walk all the way to the parking lot where his car waited. It wasn't anything special just a simple old Honda accord, but it got the job done. He got in and started up the engine.

"Now where is this dig site."

After driving for what seemed like hours he arrived. He went up to the gate and tried to open it, but it was locked. A sign on the left said "No Trespassing." Sirius was about ready to pull his hair out.

"You know what I don't care!" He said as the young adult climbed over the fence.

The dig site was almost abandoned, but from what Siruis had read they had discovered a tomb the had hieroglyphs of his own ancient past on it. He approached a hole that clearly was not to be harmed any further. It had a downward slope that led to possibly the entrance the so called ruins. All of sudden he heard workers and cars in the distance.

"Oh no."

Without any thought Sirius went down into the hole. Once at the bottom he used his phones flashlight app to see. The website was right they were glyph's of ponies and all sorts of strange images. The one that caught his eye was the one at the end of the rectangular room. It was a heart which looked to be held up by some squiggles. Sirius went to touch it. As he brought his hand to the heart it flashed pink and slowly the walls began to split apart. Sirius jumped back. Once the new passage was open Sirius got to his feet and swallowed his fear.

"Welp gotta get that report done somehow."

He peered inside. The floor was metal with circuits and wires all around all connecting to this pod at the end of the room. Siruis walks over observes better before touching it this time. As his finger comes in contact with he is shocked and falls to the ground. He body start to wiggle in pain as his back feels as it is going to burst! He screams out before falling into a pain induced unconscious state.

Sirius awoke hours later sun hitting his face. works were all looking at him and some staring at the hole as if they had seen a ghost.

"What are you all staring at?"

He suddenly remember the tomb and the secret room.

"Hey guys! I found this!" he stopped as he sat up and saw what was sitting at the hole. It was any actual pony about his height, but much bigger in size. She was wearing a crown, necklace, and boots and dawned the same mark on the walls he saw earlier on her hip. She had complete pink fur with a mane that had cream, pink, and purple colors. Her tail sported the same colors. She had wings that had purple at the tips and a pink horn.

She walked over to Sirius. "You must be my savior. I am Princess Cadence. Princess of the Crystal empire and you must the one who woke me from my slumber."

"What makes you say that?"

"Your wings."
