"Where the wind, rain and storms are controlled. In the unknown north, where just one brave man managed to reach and only pure and noble hearts will arrive, in the lands that men remember only as a mere legend or a myth .... But they have to know that in myth also lies the hidden truth. "
From the earliest days of mankind there are those who claim to have seen fairy tale creatures as Manticore, Pegasus, Unicorns, etc. But no one ever knew where they came from. It was said that past the great mountains of Ergrodan there was a land that was not acting as human countries because, clouds, wind, rain, and snow storms were not natural, that somehow were controlled, but nobody could deny anything because nobody had dared to go further the Ergrodan mountains, it was said that monsters were waiting for unsuspecting travelers, despite those rumors, one brave young man named Silagroth, wanted an adventure badly also he had other motivation; his family, he was raised in a poor but noble family, living from the crops of their farm but that year a cold weather devastated all the country’s crops so the tax raised to the clouds that year they were barely able to maintain the house, the money was more rare than a gold nugget in a desert, with those two motivations, Silagroth was looking for something to be able to maintain his beloved family so he was looking for some old legend with a story behind it to seek for it with hope to gain money for his family in that quest he happened to pass by the library and took one of the ancient books.
Hum, this seems interesting- Silagroth said under his breath- it’s about a land in the north were nobody has ventured into it, this might work it says:
"Where the wind, rain and storms are controlled. In the unknown north, where no one managed to reach and only pure and noble hearts will arrive, in the lands that men remember only as a mere legend or a myth .... But they have to know that in myth also lies the hidden truth."
Well it’s worth a shot- said with concern in his voice-but what kind of north at the north of what? - He asked himself without an answer he was about to leave the library when something caught his sight it was a piece of paper protruding out of the last pages of the book he took it and read:
“ be careful brave traveler because there are dangers in the north that might be your end follow the path, do not venture into the woods, find shelter before twilight breaks in and do not go outside during nighttime, at the northern face of the Ergrodan mountains a land rest at its feet, a land not populated by humans I am the only one who went and came back safely if you brave man want to follow the path I followed in this very book were this note is, is a map which I drew it also has tips of what to do under certain circumstances but follow your heart and you will succeed ~Anonymous”
Then this is worth it- said Silagroth now very convinced
meanwhile in Equestria.......
"Twilight, dear are you ok? - asked Rarity with a concerned voice, Twilight has been ill for around a week she had the Pony pox red dots were scattered around her body, fever almost at 40° C - you shouldn’t be out of bed especially if you have the Pony pox.
"Don’t worry rarity I’m ok- said Twilight -I have to study I have to deliver a report to the princess weekly and today it’s in due.
“Darling, do you remember what happened last time you were like this, I’m certain that the princess will excuse you, you've never failed to her so she might understand why you didn’t report this week- said Rarity concerned about her friend- you have to rest.
No Rarity I have to- said Twilight in a sleepy yet convinced voice only to be met by a stern look of her friend.
Fine-said Twilight in defeat.
Back to Europe….
Hey, Frangloth- said Silagroth to his friend- come over here
What- asked Frangloth, Frangloth was a blonde man with blue eyes Nordic in nature, he wore a navy blue shirt and green pants with black shoes- what’s going on, and why are you in such a hurry.
Because I found the way to help my family- said Silagroth happily
And what’s the plan-said enthusiastic Frangloth
We’re on a journey- said Silagroth catching his breath.
What kind of journey- said Frangloth immediately perking up
A journey based on an ancient legend-said Silagroth excitedly-though I have a doubt, if this is a legend how come a man already made it?
I don’t know, I wasn’t there- said Frangloth- but remember what my grandfather used to say; in legend or myth there’s more than just fairy tales, in them exists a hidden within its words, and the only way to reveal it is to believe in it.
Very true, my friend, very true- said Silagroth solemnly- well let’s stop putting barriers let’s delve into it, are you in?
Are you kidding? You know I’m with you always- said Frangloth with a little laugh.
Well then, we must prepare for the journey-said Silagroth with a determination in his eyes that would tame the most vicious beast obviously wanting to help his family with all his heart, but he didn’t knew that he was being observed, not by a spy or a man, he was being observed by the very same pony who brings the sun every day; princess Celestia although she wasn’t there, she was in her throne, but I’ll tell you something about the solar princess, in the more than a thousand years of her life she gained the ability to watch every single being that has a pure heart and dent let the greed blind them, she could read the eyes of the living things, and in Silagroth’s eyes she saw bravery, conviction, pure desires, the need of helping other even if it would cost his own life, she liked this human, because of his pure feelings
