The Begining of a New Life

As the royal guard finished his small question, Shadow hesitated in his own fear and immediately tried to fly away. In Luna’s dark and silent night, Shadow’s vision was blurry and he couldn’t see the direction he was flying too. As he almost reached the top of the building, Shadow's right wing bumped into an unknown object which made him twitch and immideatly fall and land on the roof of the house.

“Ahh my wing! Great now my wing is busted… dammit what did I hit?” continued Shadow as he looked at his hurting wing, “wait now that I think about it... where I am going to sleep? I do not think these people would let a stranger enter their house… Busted wing, nowhere to sleep… great… definitely not going to hospital to bring attention to me either.” Shadow sighed after finishing the sentence and looked around the city from the rooftop. His eyes then locked to the skies looking at the beautiful night sky above him. His eyes then lock on a cloud he saw pretty close by.

“Ok here goes nothing.” Shadow was able to reach a small cloud which was floating above a big tree which looked like a house. Shadow knew he was safe for the night in the soft cloud  so he hid his bag in the cloud and closed his eyes as sleep conquered his body. Around thirty minutes later, he was awoken by an angry voice of another pegasus flying next to him.

“Well I don’t know who you are but this is my cloud! You should leave!” said a Pegasus with a rainbow mane looking viciously angry next to him.

“Umm… can I stay here for tonight? I don’t have a place to go… and my wings busted so I can’t fly to any other cloud… I know you probably don’t trust me but I am really tired…” Replied Shadow as he looked up at the now calm rainbow manned Pegasus.

“I don’t really let people sleep in my cloud but umm you seem like you really need it… Uhh, if you need anything else call me? I will lower another cloud for me...” The pegasus replied sort of confused but she just rolled her eyes and flew higher to bring down another cloud.

“Ok thank you miss……” Shadow then open his eyes wide waiting for an answer from the mare who did not seem to take the message at the beggining.

“Rainbow Dash! Fastest Flier in Equestria! Haha, most people from the area know me so I would guess you are from far away? What’s your name?” after she had answered him, she asked two quick questions to Shadow before he had time to blink.

“Well you could saw I am from far away and my name is Shadow.” He replied in a soft tone.

“Oh… Ok--- Hey wait a minute! You don’t have a Cutie Mark!” Exclaimed Rainbow Dash as she looked for his Cutie Mark.

“Umm no… Miss Dash sorry to interrupt but I am really tired and it has been a long day and… I also don’t like people looking at my flank trying to find some picture in it…” replied Shadow looking the other way lightly hesitated, “umm also sorry for my tone… it has been a really long day… I feel really mean telling you this, but I really need to rest...” his eyes looked down at the cloud as his voice started decreasing.

“Oh umm sorry… I will talk to you tomorrow then...  Shadow?” Replied Rainbow Dash embarrassed a bit at what had just happened. Rainbow Dash looked at the other Pegasus in the small cloud and noticed he had already fallen asleep.

“He is kind of cute… and I am glad he’s asleep so he couldn’t hear that...” replied Rainbow as her face flushed red in embarrassment.

-The Next Morning-

“Wake up Shadow! I wanted to show you around town… since your new and all…” said a distance voice getting closer by the word.

“Umm… ok I will go… so early though... [Don’t want to draw negative attention to me]” replied Shadow as he also thought to himself. He then stood up and started to strech while somepony in the distance started to appear.

“Hey Rainbow Da---- Who’s the pony behind you?” said a voice from a distance as she approached the two having a western styled tone.

“Oh, hey Applejack. This is Shadow! He’s not from around here and he has a busted wing, so I let sleep in my cloud yesterday…” Replied Rainbow Dash with a smile a little bit forced remembering the starnger had slept in her cloud.

“And how did he get that busted wing?” then asked Applejack with curiosity as her ears perked up to hear Shadow’s embarrassed tone.

“Uhh... I was flying at night and I hit a umm something...” Shadow's cheek blushed a bit in embarrasement as he looked down at the earth pony.

“You seem sort of strange in a way… but not everyones alike? Well I will be meeting with everyone back at Twilight’s house, you should go over there Dash.” Applejack then just turned around and walked towards Twilight's house not putting much interest into the new pony.

“We should go Shadow so you can meet all my friends! You are going to feel very welcomed with them around” replied Rainbow Dash as she elevated her eyes to Shadows’ way to over-enthusiastic.

“If you insist… I have to go in a couple days though, I am leaving back to… well I don’t know if where I come from actually has a name bu---.” Shadow started to think about where he came from, it was very different from Ponyville but he got cut off by Rainbow before he could finish.

“Come on! We will be late! You can explain all of that later." the enthusiastic “friend” Shadow had just met the day before replied without even letting him finish, or actually pay attention to him.

Shadows wing still was in some pain so he decided to just glide to the floor, and walk to the tree which was a house. Rainbow Dash was flying by him asking different questions which he didn't really have an answer to most of them. He placed the bad a bit deeper in the cloud so no one was able to see it, and after jumping to the floor; both pegasi headed towards the house in a tree.

-MEANWHILE-

“No signs of anyone yet?” asked Celestia in a sad voice and deep tone, looking at the majestic stars which Luna had risen to the sky that night.

“No but we had a guard who thinks he saw the person who did it, he said don’t trust his vision at a 100% because this was at night in an alleyway. He then said that there was a pony talking to some other pony in an alley. He was just able to see the first one which was a Pegasus. When he called out to it… it flew off, then he entered looking for the second pony but no one was there.” After that long explanation Shining Armor sighed and his ears dropped. His sad tone and voice made the princess notice he was mad at himself.

“Don’t beat yourself u Shining… You are trying your best, and I know we will find whoever did the crime. What purpose would somepony need with our crowns though...? That's what worries me...” the princess gave a encouranging talk to Shining as he smiled and was able to raise his head again.

-MEANWHILE-

“Doctor! What are you doing? What new adventure are you going to start?” asked Ditzy with a cute smile.

“I am going to try to find the person who stole the princess’ crowns. They might be used for evil!” replied Doctor Whooves as he ran off and Ditzy followed in a slightly slower pace. “the pony who is pretty powerful himself and wears any of these crowns might actually gain enough strength to over-pass both Luna’s and Celestia’s power! Like what happened 1,000 years ago with Sombra. He invaded the Crystal Empire and took over it because neither of the Princesses had their crowns, sometime after though, the crowns were found. The princesses then used their powers to lock Sombra up. The Princesses have alot of power, but the crowns give them that extra boost needed to overpower other strong beings.”

"You will find him Doctor!" Ditzy looked at the Doctor but he still looked very worried.

"I hope so Ditzy..." The Doctor then looked up to the night sky in such a dark day. Not many stars were risen that night, so it was just looking at the black, night sky.
