> A Story To Remember > by MidnightBlaz3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prologue A stallion covered in a black cloak with a hood was on a cliff overlooking a peaceful town of ponies. It was a great place as its social status was between urban and rural. It was called Ponyville where the elements of harmony lived. Beside the quiet town was the Everfree forest, a very dangerous place for a pony to venture of alone. It was a miracle for the town to be in one piece. It must be luck or an invisible force keeping it alive but that was not the reason why he was there. The stallion removed the hood. He had a blue coat of fur and his mane was white with orange highlights. The colors were flowing smoothly almost depicting that it was on fire from afar. He also had a horn protruding on top of his head. His maroon eyes scanned the place. His eyes caught a bright light from the north of town and frowned. "So, it begins." He said. He put his hood back on before anyone could see him. "Let's do this." His horn lit up in blue aura and a song came out of it. "Crap, wrong spell. Again." Annoyed, he lit his horn up again and teleported out of this place. In a park in ponyville, six mares were having picnic. There was a purple unicorn. She had a purple mane and a pink stripe across the mane. Her flank had a six pointed star with a smaller star beside it. Her name was Twilight Sparkle, the smart librarian of the town and the element of magic. Next beside her was a blue pegasus. Her mane was rainbow colored. Her flank had a cloud with a rainbow colored lightning. Her name was Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier in Equestria and the element of loyalty. Another pegasus was beside Twilight. She had yellow cream colored coat of fur. Her mane was pink and the picture on her flank was three butterflies. Her name was Fluttershy, the shy animal caretaker of Ponyville and the element of kindness. Right beside her was a white unicorn. Her mane was color purple and her flank had three diamonds. Her name was Rarity the elegant designer of the town and the element of generosity. Beside Rainbow Dash was an orange pony. She was wearing stetson hat on her blonde mane which was tied to a ponytail. Her flank had a picture of three apples on it. Her name was Applejack, the hardworking cowpony of Ponyville and the element of honesty. The next and last pony in the group was a pink colored pony. She had a dark pink colored mane and her flank had a picture a yellow ballon in between to blue balloons. Her name was Pinkie Pie, the happy-go-lucky party pony of the town and the element of laughter. Together, they make up the elements of harmony. They sat in a circle and talked about the week they just had. It was a tradition for the mares to meet with each other at the end of every week. For this week, it was Rainbow Dashes turn. "-and that's why I can't see cupcakes the same way again. No offense Pinkie." "That's alright Dashie. I would to if it was me. But if I'm the victim, then who's the killer. Whatifitwasanotheroneofmyclonelikethemirrorpoolincidentbutamoresadistic.Buttechnicallyshe'smesodoesthatcountassuicideif-" Applejack's hoof held Pinkie's mouth. "Slow down sugarcube. We can't understan' yah." Applejack said to Pinkie. Then Fluttershy voiced out her question. "Um...Pinkie, why would you say that?" "Oh. The author told me to say that." Pinkie said nonchalantly. "Who?" Twilight asked. Shut up Pinkie. "Why should I?" Pinkie replied back "Why are you saying that, they already know it's me." "Uh Pinkie, who are you talking to?" Twilight persisted. "Oh forget 't sugarcube, we'll never know." Applejack said while chuckling. Everypony laughed. As the others were laughing, Twilight stopped as she felt a surge of magic and soft music behind her. She looked back but she just saw the cliff by the forest and the music also stopped. 'That's odd' she thought. Her friends noticed this. "Is there anything wrong darling?" Rarity asked. She looked back at her friends and said "Oh. It's...nothing" "Are yah sure sugarcube?" Applejack asked her friend. "Yeah. It's nothing." She said assured of her answer. "Okay. If yah sure about 't" Applejack knew she was lying but she didn't want to bother her friend any longer. They continued on with their conversation. Twilight just kept a mental note on investigating at the occurrence. 'I just hope it is just nothing' she thought and continued on with her day. In a cave far away from the Everfree forest, a pony wearing a purple cloak with gold trims entered it. He ventured further and further in the cave until he reached a dead end. At the dead end, the pony was confronted with a wall. It had etchings and language of unknown legend and knowledge. The pony casted a black orb in his hoof and placed it in the small hole in the wall. The wall began to rumble and crumble until the wall was no more. As the wall broke little by little, a sinister and dark aura began to seep through the holes. The wall completely broke away and there was silence. Then two big red eyes slowly opened and appeared in the darkness. Wind raced back and forth meaning the thing was breathing. "Who dares to awaken my slumber?" The thing asked. "Ako ang may kapanyarihan dito at ako ang katapusan ng mundo." The pony said in a dark voice. Sharp teeth then appeared in the darkness forming a smirk. The pony then continued "Who do you serve?!" "I ONLY SERVE FOR THE BLACK MAGE!" The thing shouted and the cave began to rumble. The pony laughed slowly and menacingly "heheheheHaHaHaHAHAHA..."
