Chp 01: Welcome to Hallow Shades

   It was a cold winters night and I had just got off a train from Neighagra Falls well to be honest I was more or less thrown off, anyway once I got my barrings I noticed a sign that had three directions

Canterlot 50 miles west

ManeHatten 75 miles east

Hallow Shades 10 miles south

   Considering my options I chose to head south for Hallow Shades and I'd catch the train heading for Baltimare in the morning. I used my magic to tighten the rope that secured the cloche to my body and I began to trudged through to snow and in to the forest that surrounded the small village, It was beautiful the way the icicles dangled from the branches and the way the snow lied peacefully over the ground, the best best part was that any and or all creatures were in hibernation, so there was no sign of danger.

   Once I entered the sleepy little town I automatically noticed that almost all lights in the buildings were off, all except one a small two story inn call "Sleepy Hallow". I entered the small building and was greeted by a mare Pegasus with a red coat, a blond mane and a book for a cutie mark.

   "Hello wanderer, what brings you to the Sleepy Hallow Inn?" She said while guiding me to the front desk

   "I'd like a room, I thought that was obvious?"

   She then pulled out a leather book and told me to sign my name.

    "Shade Nightworth aye, I'm Pentress Roberson." she extending a hoof, but i just brushed it off "Fine Mister Serious here`s your key, your in room nine."

    "Thank you Miss overly Quirky." I then levitated the key out of her hoof

   Once reaching my room, I pushed open the door to my room, I sat my saddlebags on the floor and flipped the latch, releasing my pet phoenix Daisy. She began to spread her wings (lighting up the room while doing so), I materialized her nest and placed it on the night stand. Once Daisy's nest situation was done, I automatically went over to the bed and fell into a deep sleep as I curled up in the warm embrace of the blanket.

Fun in Ponyville

   It was a cool autumn night when I arrived in Ponyville, I had decided to stop at a place called "Pony Jo's" it was a small doughnut place with a ManeHatten theme and it was pretty cozy, I took a seat in the back where I sharpened my saber.

   It was almost midnight and I had ordered multiple cream filled doughnuts and I was beginning to doz off, until I fixed my eyes on a group of Diamond Dogs violently attacking a young stallion and his friend.

    "So Pony tell me again what you said about me and my friends, YES!" Said the larger of the dogs

    "NOTHING! I said nothing."

    "YOU DARE INSULT ME AND MY FRIENDS, AND THEN LYE TO MY FACE?!?! Oh you`re going to get it"

    "HEY DOG BREATH!!!" I said while walking up to them "Lay off them, they mean you no harm!"

   They then turn and laugh at me and began to throw insults at me. "Oh little pony man you better pick your fights much more wisely." He said as he began to ponce

   He came thrusting toward me at full force, I quickly jumped out of the way, levitated my blade to my side and struck down the behemoth of a creature. Before he knew it his tail was clean off and was lying on the ground.

    "AnyPony else?" I said hoping that none of them were stupid enough. And none of them were. "Good now you should probably be getting the hey out of here."

   And with that they all bolted to the door and the two young colts were mesmerized like they just saw Super Pony defeat a hideous monster. I then looked to the clock and it was five past midnight.

    "Um... Do you guys know if there any inns that are still open around here?"

   They then snapped back to attention "Um yeah there's one just off Stirrup Street."

     "Thank you"

   I then walked off victorious and those two ponies walked off still alive
