A Quest for Harmony

Prologue: The Fall

Once upon a time in the magical world with a balance of harmony and chaos named Toonera, there lived a 10-year-old boy named Kai, who spends most of his days with his young sister, Nya, and their pet talking purple alicorn, Twilight Sparkle. They lived in a blacksmith shop in a cozy village with their mom and dad .

"Dad," Kai said. "When I grow up, I want to be just like you."

"That's okay, son." Dad said. "When I was your age, I had dreams too."

"Like being a blacksmith that lives in a blacksmith shop with his wife and children?" Twilight asked.

"That's right, Twilight." Mom answered as she turned to Kai. "Kai, can you get some groceries? We're almost out." She takes out a list.

"If you insist." Kai said as he took the list. "Come on, guys! Let's get those groceries!"

The trio run out the door as Kai puts a wagon on Twilight's back. Twilight runs to the market with the rest in the wagon. After all that, the trio reach the market.

"So, what's on the list we need to get?" Nya asked.

Twilight takes the list out. "We need apples, carrots, cheese, lettuce, and onions."

"Wow." Kai said. "Just five things and that's it?"

"Five items means less hassle." Twilight said.

Kai sighed in relief. After the trio got what they needed, they went straight home. Kai enjoyed the way life was. But part of him wishes for adventure. A sudden explosion came as the trio stopped.

"What was that?" Nya asked.

"I don't know." Twilight said. "But we should check it out."

The trio ran to the place where the explosion was. They saw everyone in shock and fear. The trio turned and saw a giant dragon standing in front of the whole village.

"Holy mother of pearl!" One of the villagers exclaimed. "Is that a dragon?"

"You know, I heard they were big." Another villager replied. "But that's the biggest dragon I've ever seen in my entire life."

The dragon roared, which blown some villagers away.

"What is that dragon?" Nya asked.

"I don't know!" Twilight said. "I've never seen a dragon that big before."

"We have to warn Mom and Dad!" Kai yelled.

The trio run back home as fast as they could. They reach home, but they saw half their house crumbled down and saw their dad trying to help their mom out.

"Mom!" Kai yelled. "Are you okay?"

"No." Mom said.

"Are you hurt?" Kai asked.

"I'm stuck." Mom answered.

"Do you want us to help?" Nya asked.

"Get me out of here!" Mom yelled.

Kai turned to Twilight. "Twilight, use your magic or something before the dragon will eat us all!"

Twilight lit up her horn as she lifted the piece of debris off of Mom, lifts her and puts her on the ground.

"Thank you, Twilight." Mom said.

"You're welcome." Twilight replied.

"We have to get to safety!" Dad said.

A guard flies to the family. "Get to the underground shelter! It'll be safe there!"

The family ran to shelter. Meanwhile, five guards were fighting the dragon with archers and cannons.

"Okay everyone," The commander said. "All of the citizens have ran to shelter. Stay in position until that huge dragon comes."

"Sir! I can see it!" One of the guards yelled.

The rest of the guards and the commander saw the big dragon.

"Archers!" The commander yelled.

The archers shot many arrows at the dragon, but the arrows broke every time they reached the dragon.

"It's not working!" Another guard said.

"Time for plan B." The commander mumbled. "FIRE!"

The guards fired the cannons at the dragon, but the dragon's skin was tough as armor.

"Everyone! Retreat!" The commander said.

All of the guards ran from the dragon. Several hours have passed, and all of the villagers got out of shelter and saw part of the village burned and crumbled down. The next day, parents were forced to send their children to another place so they can be safe. So they went to the train station to send their children to someplace no one can find them. But Kai, Nya and Twilight were just getting ready. They were packing everything they have and bringing those stuff with them.

"Do we really need to go?" Nya asked.

Twilight nodded.

After they packed what they needed, their parents took the trio to the train station saying goodbye to them.

"We're really going to miss you three." Mom said.

"This might be the last time you see us." Dad said. "We're going to miss you all. Even when we're gone, we're still going to miss you and we'll love you. Take care of yourselves, okay?"

Kai nodded as he and the others went on the train. As they did, Nya waved to the place she and the rest called home. Four hours later, the trio finally reached their destination, Canterlot. The trio walk out of the train and figured out it was raining. They leave the train station and started looking for a someone who can let them live in their home. They knocked on every door of Canterlot, but those who live in those houses rejected them. So they moved into a dark alley living in a big empty crate. They waited for someone to pick them up, but Twilight looked up and saw a guard right in front of them. Kai and Nya saw him as well.

"All of you come with me." The guard said.

The trio followed the guard all the way to a big castle. They went inside and saw that the hallways had stained glass windows with fancy designs. Then they went into the throne room and met the rulers of Canterlot, Princess Celestia, and her sister, Luna. Kai explained everything that happened and why he and the others were in Canterlot in the first place. Celestia agreed to let the trio stay in the castle.

"It was nice for Celestia to let us stay in this castle." Kai said.

"Well, she is pretty nice." Nya replied.

"It would be nice for Mom and Dad to be here." Kai added. "But they let all of us go for our own protection. Except for Twilight's parents. Hers were killed from a hunter."

Twilight frowned. "Yeah. But Shining Armor was taken away. He's my BBBFF. And you both know what that means."

"Big brother best friend forever." Kai and Nya said in unison.

"He's still alive." Twilight said. "I know he is." She looks out a window. "I just want to go out there and find him like most people do."

"Don't worry, Twilight." Nya replied. "We might live a happy life here. I guess."

Author's Note:

Will the trio get used to the castle they are in? Will Twilight get a chance to go out into the world and find her BBBFF?
