A Tale of Two Races: The Lone Wolf's Quest
Chapter 1- We're Going On an Adventure
Load Full StoryNext Chapter"Long, long ago, in the time of Discord's rule and unknown to today's ponies, there were two major races; the race of Ponies and the race of Wolves. These two races are always in conflict and it wasn't really surprising as to why. Ponies are vegetarians, animal- lovers and cunning-- they use brain- power. Wolves are more of carnivorous but plant- lovers and they are quite barbaric but uses their brain just like Ponies do but they don't do it more often than they should.
Now, let's focus more with the Wolves as we could see that many knows what Ponies are. Equestria's part where wolves reside was kept in order by the two Wolf Princes named Sidus and Bothynus. Sidus, a pure- white wolf with yellow eyes, represents the snow and the stars. Bothynus, a pure- black wolf with the same yellow eyes as his younger brother, represents the tropical weather and the shooting stars.These two brothers are tightly bonded together and shows the real tie of brotherhood. Anyway, like Ponies, Wolves also have "Cutie marks" but theirs' are called: "Insignia". These marks are planted across the upper part of their torso, leaving a colorful scar- like feature upon their skin; fur no longer grows upon these marks. As seen from the Ponies, they have four races: Unicorn, Pegasai, Earth and Alicorn. However, wolves aren't divided. Though, have packs, they never had the time and heart to have discrimination among themselves. Wolves are pretty much known to be the "Evil" ones among the different races across Equestria. Legend has it, the Wolves are the ones who destroyed peace and harmony between the two races but, it wasn't exactly true. Years before, the two Princesses, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, had came and took over the Ponies in order to give them order and peace. However, this wasn't much of an advantage for Wolves. As they are the only ones not giving a flying feather about it, they were deliberately depressed from the separation of the two brothers which had formed the separation of the packs. Sadly, majority of the packs were formed with Prince Sidus and Prince Bothynus was stuck within the Everfree forest with almost 1/4 of their usual population.
The real history of the war between Wolves and Ponies were erased and the fake ones are surprisingly hidden from the Ponies. However, this event had not yet erased from the minds of the Wolves as they had planted grudge against the Ponies seeking revenge every now and then. However, they were silenced and calmed by the current leader of the packs, Prince Bothynus, after his long mourning for his dear brother and "Younger brothers and sisters" as how he called the others. In the present time, the Wolves of Bothynus, which are now called "Fallen Shadows" in the legends, are residing at the ruins in the Everfree forest.
Many had thought that a spark of harmony will never occur between the two races however, according to my sources, a wolf named Unitas and a mare named Freedom bore a child whose name is... unknown...?"
The late morning sun had been shining in delight as it peeked about from the clouds. The library was silent thereafter as Twilight had paused for a long time as the Elements were gathered in Twilight's library. No longer wanting to wait for more, Pinkie Pie burst out, "What's next, what's next, what's next?!"
Flabbergasted, Twilight confusedly searched more from the old and dusty book. "Apparently, that's all it has, Pinkie. The book stopped right there and there are more blank pages than you can ever imagine." She sighed as she closed the book.
"So... what are we doing here again?" Rainbow Dash said with an annoyed tone.
Twilight giggled as a huge and seemingly heavy saddlebag fell on top of Dash. "Ow!" she yelped after being smacked by a bag, which felt like a ton, on her head.
"We're going on a trip to find the Fallen Shadows." Twilight smiled.
"Say wut?" AJ looked at the purple pony as if she had just lost one of her loose screws.
"U-umm... w-w-would that involve th-the E- E... Everfree f-f-f-FOREST?!" Fluttershy choked a bit towards the end.
"Dear me, Twilight! Have your head gotten infected by some kind of disease?!" Rarity said, shocked.
"Yeah, Twi. I mean, you're not the pony who likes going through forest like Everfree!" Spike shivered by the name of he forest.
"Wait... are you telling me that we are going to look for ruins and have an amazing adventure along the way?" Dash's eyes sparkled as she looked at Twilight from below, still down with the heavy saddlebags on top of her.
"Quite yes, Dash. We just need to take a peek of it and we're ready to go, everypony. No harm intended. I just wanted to brush off my curiosity a little bit. Please?" Twilight asked with her puppy dog eyes.
The others sighed hopelessly from Twilight as they've known that the mare doesn't take "No" in the name of Knowledge. Well, except for Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. Who extended a hoof and said, "I'm in!"
"Me too!!!" Pinkie shouted, still jumping as if she has an eternal sugar rush.
Applejack thought for awhile until giving up and smiled, "A lil trip ain't that bad, right? Count me in!"
It only leaves for the choice of Rarity and Fluttershy which would probably decline from the offer of venturing the creepy, mysterious and dark forest. "Come on, Rarity. You'll definitely find wonderful and different gems in the forest. Unique, too! And Fluttershy, it will help you boost up your confidence meter!" Knowing the two, Twilight had tried persuading the two. She wants to venture a forest with friends and this could serve as their little hanging- out too that's why she doesn't want to leave the other two out.
Surprisingly, the two reconsidered. "Why, if I could see the most exquisite of gems for the singer who ordered a tux, I really might need it too." Rarity said.
"I... I could try... if it's alright with you all." Fluttershy stared at the floor, not wanting to see the attention being given to her and Rarity.
"Yes!" Twilight inwardly shouted after she said, "Okay, everypony. Let's meet back here here in an hour. Pack anything you need for a camping trip. We might stay overnight in the forest. Everypony nodded in agreement and went off.
"This is going to be so exciting!!!" Twilight leaped in joy as the little kid struggled with her in the match of "To squeal or not to squeal?"
