I owe a lot to this guy the story isn't complete without some kind of picture, so by all means: Bro hoof to NikolaDun Celestia bless him.

I would suggest watching the episode if you have not already so you can understand whats going on.

This is a little bit short but that is because its more of an example of my writing style so you can see what my writing is all about. This is a prologue to a bigger project I will be working on. This is also my first story so please critique me accordingly and generously.

Update version something.28 maybe?
I finally finished editing the first chapter out of the wall of text that It was. I'll work on the second one soon.
Hope you enjoy it!
