Guardians of light

Chapter 2

I awoke in dark forest and I didn't recognized it at first. It was the Everfree forest but it seemed darker even though the moon was out. I hear a scream that was familiar. It was Fluttershy’s.

“Hold on Fluttershy I’m coming to help,” I yelled to her. I ran through the forest and came upon a clearing and I saw Fluttershy. I got to her and she suddenly hid behind me. “What has gotten her this spooked,” I asked myself then I also noticed that Gold was nowhere to be found either. A shadow then moved over us and I looked up and saw an alicorn. I saw a picture of her in a book that I read a few years ago and I knew exactly who it was, Nightmare Moon.

She stared at me for a minute and said, “We are not who you think we are.” Her voice had more than one voice at a time which was a bit scary.

“If you are not Nightmare Moon then, who are you,” I demanded. Nightmare Moon just stared at me longer than she last did. It was as if she was trying to look into my soul.

“Why did the sword choose you, hmph, no matter you wont be able to stop us no matter what you do, so we will rule this world,” she said finally and then the wind started to blow which became stronger. Fluttershy then went to my side holding me pretty tight to be honest I had a hard time breathing because of it and then leaves were surrounding Nightmare Moon and then when they cleared she was gone. I then woke up.

Now after I have a dream I usually feel like i was just hit on the head but when I awoke from this dream I felt like an anvil landed on me. I looked on my desk and to my amazement Dad’s cloak was not torn but looked like new. So I guessed it was enchanted and I put it on. I walked out of my room and noticed how dirty everything was so I decided to clean up. About an hour later I had the entire house spotless of dust.

“That’s better,” I said.

Gold was sitting by the fireplace. Then I heard a knock at the door. Gold got up and got into the “protect my property stance”. I went to the door and it was Fluttershy.

“Hello Fluttershy what brings you here,” I asked. “I am going shopping for food, for my animal, and I thought I would show you around,” she said.

“Sure, do you think it will be alright if Gold comes,” I asked.

“I think it would be alright as long as she doesn’t try to attack anypony,” she responded.

I put on my hood then with that we were on our way. As expected, all eyes were on us. It isn’t very often when you see a pony with basically a pet timberwolf.

“I feel very uncomfortable right now,” I said while we walked to the market.

Then suddenly a pink pony with the strangest mane style trotted up to Fluttershy and said, “Hi Fluttershy.” Then she saw me and I wish I was invisible at that time because she gasped and started to rant about not knowing me and she asked, “Are you friends with Fluttershy because that is so great.” Then she noticed Gold. “AHHHH, a timberwolf everypony run,” she screamed.

Then after that there the streets were empty. I heard a noise and saw a sky blue blur with a rainbow trail tackle Gold and she was shattered to pieces. Now I wasn’t happy with that but before I could do anything Fluttershy grabbed the end of my cloak which I got the signal. “Your safe now Fluttershy are you OK,” said the mare. She had a rainbow colored mane and was sky blue.

“Thank you for destroying my pet,” I growled.

She looked at the remains of Gold Birch and asked, “That timberwolf was your pet.” “Yes it is,” I said. “Wait ‘is’, what do you mean by is,” she asked. Then Gold was being put together by magic.

“Are you ok Gold,” I asked her.

She said, “Yes but next time you offer me to go with you remind me to say, no.”

“OK I will remember that,” I said. I turned around and the blue mare had an eyebrow raised. She shrugged it off and asked Fluttershy who I was.

“This is Shadowfire he helped me find Angel last night in the Everfree forest,” she answered.

“Call me Shadow,” I added.

“Um, sorry for destroying your pet and my name is Rainbow Dash,” she said.

Soon after the incident Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and the pink mare whose name was Pinkie Pie showed me around. We walked for about an hour; they showed me the town hall, Sugarcube Corner, and Sweet Apple Acres. Then we were spotted by an orange mare with a blonde mane.

We walked to her and she said “Well howdy, came to visit,” she said. Then she saw me, “Hi there the names Applejack,” she took my hoof and frantically shook it. It gave me a minute to get feeling in my leg from the constant motion.

I said “it’s been a while Applejack,” I said.

“Have we met before,” she asked with a confused look on her face.

“Oh, my hood is still on,” I said while I was taking my hood off. She still seemed a bit confused but not as much as she was.

“You do look familiar but what is your name that might help some,” she said.

“Shadowfire,” I replied to the request.

“I remember you now, you had a sister too didn’t you,” she asked. The thought of my sister made a small tear come down my cheek. I don’t really like to think about my family.

“Yes,” I responded with my voice cracking a bit.

“Are you OK,” Pinkie asked.

“Yeah you look sad,” Rainbow Dash added.

Fluttershy said “We should move on, we still have to show him the library.”

Pinkie Pie gasped and said, “Oh my gosh, I forgot I have to do something see all of you later,” and she zipped away.

“Do you want to come, Applejack,” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Ah’m done with work for today so sure why not,” she responded.

When we were walking to the entrance of the farm I stepped next to Fluttershy and I said, “Thank you for changing the subject I appreciate it.”

We got to a giant tree and it had a sign that said Golden Oaks library on it, I was surprised that they would have library in a tree.

We went in and Rainbow Dash yelled “Twilight, are you here?”

“One moment,” I heard a voice and then a minute later a purple mare came down the stairs. “Oh hello,” she said looking at me “my name is Twilight Sparkle what’s yours?”

“I’m Shadowfire nice to meet you, call me Shadow,” I said.

“That cloak, is it enchanted,” she asked.

“Now that you mention it, it looks like its new did you repair it last night,” Fluttershy asked.

“Yes it is enchanted it regenerated last night,” I said.

“Wait, y’all already knew each other before today,” Applejack asked.

“Yes he helped me find Angel,” she answered “his cloak got ripped when he was protecting me from something, it was dark and I couldn't really see in it.”

“He protected you,” Rainbow Dash asked then she looked at me in confusion.

“What,” I asked.

“You don’t look like you can hold a fight,” she said.

“I've been through worse, but I didn't protect her completely Gold here really kept her safe,” I said.

“I have never met a pony who was ever able to tame a timberwolf before,” Twilight said.

“Tame has nothing to do with it I came along on my free will,” Gold said.

“Yes but you joined me didn’t you,” I whispered.

“Well it is getting late we need to head home we will see all of you around,” I said.

“We will come with you I’m pretty sure something will happen at your house,” Twilight said.

“OK whatever that means,” I said. We got to my house and then the light came on and out from the darkness came Pinkie Pie and some other ponies. Pinkie yelled, "Surprise, welcome to Ponyville!”

Twilight looked at me and said, “See, told you.”

After the party I was tired and everypony went home, well not everypony Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Twilight stayed a bit longer. Along with another pony name Rarity. She was a bit classy.

“Thanks for the welcome party Pinkie I appreciate it,” I said.

“You’re welcome, I always throw a party for a new friend,” Pinkie said.

“Let’s go, I’m pretty sure Shadow is tired from today,” Twilight said walking toward the door. “Good night Shadow,” Fluttershy said softly. “

Good night,” I said with a smile. Then they left closing the door behind them.

“Well that was fun,” Gold said laying down by the fireplace.

"We have to still get information on the spell that was casted on me,"i said. I went to my room and took off my cloak. I got situated on my bed and went to sleep.
