He was walking through the empty streets of what he knew as Ponyville, wearing a hooded cloak due to his state of exile and shame, but it was not destryed by the war, like it was where he was from.

“Hey, where is everypony?” he asked himself sadly.

He knew that the town wasn’t abandoned, everypony was hiding from him out of fear, then he suddenly saw a pink earth pony, walking out from one of the shops in town, without thinking he calls out “HEY, YOU THERE, IN THE PINK. YEAH YOU!”

The pony stopped and looked as he called out to her, she ran over and looked at him curiously and then signaled what looked like an all clear as she noticed that everypony was hiding, telling them that he was no threat, then all of Ponyville continued about it’s usual buzz, stalls selling goods and ponies at work to earn their pay.

Being caught off guard, he gasped as the pink pony said “Hi, my name is Pinkie Pie. who are you?”

“Oh, my name is Mist Shaker, you can call me Mist though. as I really don’t like my full name being used.” Mist stated solidly “Do most ponies act like this on a new arrival when they are wearing a hooded cloak?”

“Oh always, but I knew you weren't bad at all, I was just curious about you and why you looked so lonely and sad when I heard you call to me, speaking of which, why are you looking so lonely and sad?” Pinkie asked with a concerned tone of voice.

“Uhm, can we talk about it in a more... private place, like a library or… your house or something.” Mist replied nervously.

“Sure, lets go to the library, might as well introduce you to the rest of my friends.” Pinkie answered in a bubbly tone.

At the library of Ponyville, “Twilight, you have company.” Pinkie nearly shouted as a lavender unicorn mare with a violet mane and tail with a pink stripe descends the stairs to the upper floor.

With a concerned look already on her face she said “Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and you are?”

“Mist Shaker, please call me Mist, I just hate having my full name used.” Mist responded with, again, a solid tone.

Twilight walked over, placed a forehoof on Mist’s shoulder asked in her concerned tone “I hear that you are troubled by something, mind talking about it?”

“Well, I would feel better if it were just us talking about it.” Mist stated as if he were a child who wanted to share a secret with just one person.

With that Pinkie bolted out the door as if she had just remembered something.

“Now that we’re alone, what is it that is troubling you?” Twilight asked with concern still evident.

“I- I was the second in line to rule the land where I come from, but then a war had begun and the current ruler was… well... she’s gone... forever, I don’t know who did it, but the blame was placed on me because none of the ponies of the council liked me, simply because I was like a normal colt, doing everyday activities, enjoying life, but occasionally attending to certain tasks, I never knew about it and then the guards snatched me up, and they- they... cast a universal teleportation spell and sealed off all access to it. erasing the memory of it, erasing it from history.” Mist said sobbing knowing that he would never be able to return.

“WHAT?!” Twilight shouted with unsuppressed surprise and anger, not towards Mist though, once Twilight had calmed down she said in a soft tone “Oh, I’m sorry about that outburst, well, you are welcome to stay here as long as you like.” after realizing that Mist is still upset about what had happened.

With that Mist stood and said in a dull manner “I really appreciate your hospitality, but it’s best that I be alone for now.” exiting the library, running off out of Ponyville.

Just as the edge of the city came into view, Mist noticed three fillies in his path clearly running from something, crying “HELP!”

Mist stopped to see what it was, Timberwolves, he quickly grabbed each filly and told them to hold on as he took to the sky and landed on the nearest cloud he could find, the timberwolves then turn as they seem to have lost their prey and returned to the forest.

Once they were gone, Mist took back to the ground, dropped the fillies off and took off before they could thank him.

Mist returned to the cloud he had first used to save the fillies and decided to lie there and sleep for an hour or so, thinking “Why is this happening to me, I walk away from an offer of hospitality when I’m feeling down and then I saved those three fillies from the timberwolves and…”

His thoughts were cut off as he noticed a cyan pegasus mare above him staring down at him, the mare asked “Hey, you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Mist replied to the mare above him with a saddened tone with a hint of frustration.

“Something tells me otherwise, but I’m sure you went and talked to Twilight about it first, huh?” she asked “My name is Rainbow Dash, I’m the cool one.”

“Yeah, just call me Mist, I just want to be alone for the rest of the day.” Mist said as he flew off.

Just as he thinks he is alone, Mist hears the voice of another pony, who seems to have already noticed him and flew up to him and said “Oh my, are you okay, you look like you could use a bed to rest in.” hearing this, Mist collapsed on the cloud he was on.

Mist wakes up not on his cloud but in a cottage, he leaped from the couch, breathing in a panicking manner as he looked around, he asked “Where am I?”

“You're in my cottage, my name is Fluttershy, you passed out when I found you, so I brought you to my home next to the Everfree forest.” Fluttershy said in a soft but comprehensible tone.

“My name is Mist Shaker, just call me Mist, I really should go.” he said with a rather confused tone.

“Why are those ponies being so nice to me, it’s like they already know me.” Mist thought to himself, not watching where he was walking, his tracks were cut off as he ran into another pony.

“What the hay!” an orange mare exclaimed “Oh wait, you must be that Mist feller Twilight was tellin’ me all about, mah names Applejack.”

“Yeah, you heard right.” Mist said to Applejack.

“C’mon down to the house n’ have some cider with me, we can talk more there.” Applejack insisted

Once in Applejack’s home, Mist took the cider mug in his hand and took a rather large gulp of it before he asked inquisitively “What would you like to know?”

“Anything that is important to talk about.” Applejack implied

“Well, I was a Prince, for three years, I was about to become the next ruler of the land there it was kind of like this one. but then came the bloodiest war I had ever heard of, I never knew of the fall of the princess there, then I was exiled to this place, that's all I remember.” Mist said handling the event better than he was yesterday.

Little did they know that a white mare was outside waiting to be invited in, until they heard her knock a second time “Uh, lemme get that right quick.” Applejack said, flustered at the fact that she forgot that her friend was coming over.

The white mare looked right at you and with an excited look said “Oh, hello there dear, Rarity’s the name, who are you, you handsome young stallion?”

Flustered, Mist replied “Uh, Mist Shaker, please call me Mist.”

“This feller was a prince, Rarity, a prince, in plain sight, but he was exiled from his universe or whatever he called it.” Applejack interjected soon after Mist spoke.

Mist gave Applejack a deep scowl as he groaned.

“Now there’s no need to go on messing with him like that, Applejack, the poor dear seems to be having a hard time right now.” Rarity pointed out.

Mist just face palmed and said “I’m just going to go and take it easy for the rest of the day and look for a place to stay.” upon this he was out the door and in the clouds relaxing just taking it easy.

Finally able to be alone, he noticed that it was getting dark as he lied down, just thinking “what a day this has been, I just met six beautiful mares in two days and they are already taking a liking to me. I must be very lucky to be who I am, however unfortunate that I was exiled from my original home,” with that thought he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Author's Note

It could take some time but I will have more chapters in it but the ideas will come as they wish.
The next chapter has a good bit of action in it.
And if it seems rushed, yes it was and with good intent.
