The tail of an alicorn called Tess who lives in stable 21, who leaves to embark on a mission to save her stable. After the failure of the water talisman she has to head to the headquarters of Stable Tec to get a replacement... All is not as it seems.
First of all: what is your protagonist? On the one hand you say she's a unicorn
Tessia Starbow a white unicorn with a mulberry mane
and then there is this line
I slightly unfold my wings, I look at then with a sad expression
There are even contradictions within the same paragraph:
“Well if I’m going to start anywhere, it’s the capital, It’s at times like this I wish I could fly” I begin to think as I kick some stones of the side of the cliff face. “I wonder what the note Hotshot gave me says” I think, levitating the noteout of my saddlebag.
Contradictions like this - especially when they are elemental like this - are poison for your story. State in your story - clearly and correctly - what type of pony she is. That makes it much easier to get a feeling for her. And if she has to be an alicorn - for some reason - just say it.
Secondly, we don't need information like this:
100 years later... Name : Tessia Starbow Location : Stable 21 Time : 08:59 Years After the Apocalypse : 102 years 4 months
It's pretty set what time it is from the fact that there is a pony in a stable, but the worse thing is that setting a scene like this makes you as an author look bad. Even if it isn't necessarily the case, this makes it look as if you can't introduce a scene within your story but need to give stage-settings.
I haven't read "Treasure Hunting" and whether you asked the author if you are allowed to write a sequel doesn't really faze me, but with the lack of world-building in this story - which undoubtedly comes from you building your story on another one (which is totally alright in and off itself) - the whole premiss seems a bit much... cliched. Not that it makes the story worse, just less interesting. Because from what I can say from reading the first chapter - and the pretty disconnected prologue - this is a pretty standard FoE story: stable unicorn with low magic powers - bullied by some ponies - almost no friends (because popular people can't be protagonists) - water chip broken for no apparent reason other than because plot - pony gets out of the stable with no qualification but being bored etc. It's just nothing special and has been done like this a hundred times before.
On the plus-side, formatting is alright, although you sometimes forget to set special characters like full-stops. Your paragraph-size is also alright, not too big (except for that one time) and not too small, although there is nothing like a too small paragraph.
I can't give this story like it is now an upvote. I don't downvote it either. You as an author just have to spice things up a bit - make your story interesting and outstanding in some way, even if it's just the quality of your wording. I'm sorry that I can't say so many positve things, but it's the harsh reality.
