It was a dark and stormy night, which suprisingly didn't bother Spike. He was fast asleep, but was having the strangest dream.
---
Princess Rarity along with her caretaker, Orto, were fleeing Canterlot. They wizzed past Spike before he could even ask what was wrong. Spike turned around to come face to face with an evil looking creature who began demanding to know where Princess Rarity went, as she held the key to the power he so desperately desired. In defiance, Spike drew his weapon to face down the unknown foe. His opponent just took one look and threw his head back in maniacal laughter. "You dare to challenge ME child?" The evil looking creature than launched a powerful blast of magic at the young dragon, saying "Best learn your place. I shall let you live for now, so be grateful." The creature ran off, leaving Spike collapsed on the ground.

Spike awoke with a start, panting for breath. "What a horrible nightmare!", he exclaimed. "You're telling me!" said a voice. Spike looked around for the source of the voice, his eyes resting on a ghostly lavender unicorn. "Who are you?", Spike asked the apparition. "My name is Twilight Sparkle", replied the ghostly image. "What do you want with me?", asked the quizzical dragon. "I have been sent by the Great Deku Tree, who wishes to speak with you by the way, to be your new fairy companion!", the unicorn exclaimed. "Aren't fairies supposed to be, I dunno, smaller?" inquired Spike. "Normally yes, but that form is for practicality. This is my true form.", replied the unicorn. Spike, never having a fairy until know, was shocked at this new knowledge, but quickly accepted it. "Anyways, we should probably go see the Great Deku Tree.", said Twilight, whilst changing into the well known form of a fairy. "Alright lets go then!" said Spike, as he and his new fairy companion headed out in to the village of Everfree. Twilight couldn't help but wonder to herself, Does the fate of Equestria really lie on the shoulders of this young dragon?
Hey, listen!
Had to. Anyway, think this will be a fun read when you get it rolling. Only thing I can really complain about is the shortness of the chapter, and that's nothing major. Hope you update soon.
28829 As this is only the prologue,the other chapters should be longer, as i plan to do a dungeon a chapter. Thank you for your kind words, and DANGIT NAVI!!!!!
I can't stress enough, show do not tell. Why is the creature evil? Is it a twisted, dark green mass of limbs, mouths, and eyes that darkens the very air around it, chilling the very soul of its beholder... or does it merely have a sign that says "evil" stapled to its forehead?
28990 I purposefuly left out descriptions as I want the "creature's" identity to be a surprise. I shall soon be making some changes to the prologue, as I am both learning as I go, and writing this on the fly. Be patient, as this is my 1st fanfic. I do appreciate your thoughts, however, I want to try and write it in a way that even people who have played the game will be kept guessing.
