Backstory

Kari is a half Kirin pony, living during the less modern times. She once lived happily with her mother. In a small home, one bed room, so she shared her bed with her mother, of which was perfectly fine at that age. Her kitchen was small, only having one furnace, and a sink. The bathroom only having a pot hole (I'm not exactly sure if that's what they called it.) and so, Kira was going out today, to meet with her other friends.

They liked her because she was special, not special in a bad way, but had affect on their young lives. Making each day better than it ever could be.

While she was enjoying her Grey fur in the sunlight, with her small curved horn she had to keep her head help up high, so she wouldn't cut any pony. And her mane and tail being Blue.

A few stallions, and a mare, came equipped with things like cloaks, and daggers. And a few bows. They yelled, " Give us all your Kirin ponies! We must exterminate them to prevent any further chaos! " Kari was shocked, her mother ran up to her.

"Darling. Go to the home, and go to the basement. Immediately! You'll be safe there.." Her mother said with sorrow, fearing for her only daughter's life. She immediately ran, as fast as she can, inside her home. She brought down some food and water. Went into the basement, and locked the door.

She panicked, where was her dragon, Spark Fire, she opened the gate. There he was, floating about, she yelled to him "Spark Fire, they're here to get us!" She grabbed him, and he squirmed a bit, but he got in there.

They spent their time in there, sitting, and not really doing anything at all. So Kari spent quite some time sleeping, and trying to calm herself. She could smell fire up above her, her sense of smell being hyped.

She can hear the screams of innocent ponies dying, all because a few stallions and mares wanted to get rid of her race. She felt horrid, didn't ever want to go and see society again. But eventually, she would have to. Because she was running out of food. And food is essential.

But alas. A few days go by, and the screams of ponies became less and less.

'Either they are.. All dead, or.. Maybe the Kirin hunters left?'
She thought to herself, she wanted to tell herself that the Kirin hunters left, but she didn't believe it.

She opened the hatch leaving up to what used to be the house, but now is ashes. Tears come to Kari's eyes, every pony she ever knew, is gone. No longer alive, well. A few survived, but they were wounded badly.

She had to help them, she gets up, and out the of the basement with all her might, and the help of Spark Fire. She immediately runs over to one of the ponies who was just barely alive. And she casts a healing spell upon her. "T-thankyou Kari. They left just a few days ago, I got hurt trying to put out some of the fires though."

She nods, and helps her up, "Where are the others?" The mysterious pony points to the only building standing, "There are a few filles in there. I don't know about the others."

Kari immediately rushes to the building, and she knocks on the door.

The fillies scream in shear terror, "It's alright, it's just me! Kari!" Kari yells, to calm then down.

One of the fillies open the door. "Oh.. Are the bad ponies gone?" They were shivering, five little fillies. Kari nods, and they all come out, the little building, and they all have a group hug with Kari.

"It's felt like forever that the bad ponies were here!" They all cried with each other, not knowing what to do about the fact that their mom's and dad's were now forever gone. Their spirits lingering the village.

Kari could see them, the spirits as they look about the village, trying to make contact with their children, but unable to, just phasing through them.

The fillies had no idea that they even existed anymore, they thought that they had simply.. Disappeared. The fillies weeped, not able to see the town being torn down. They had lost all hope.

"It's okay.." Kari said, with tears in her eyes, her own mother did not survive the harsh battle, and was on the verge of crying, "I'll.. Still be here for you.. I'll protect you.. And every pony.." She started to cry with the fillies, they were all alone, no one to take care of them.

Spark Fire came up to Kari, "Hey, we need to get food. Come on, stop crying." Spark Fire is a small dragon, but he can fly, since he has his wings. And he is orange, with some blue aligned on him.

Kari sniffles, "Y-yeah.. I just miss my mom." Spark nods, "Alright, I'll get food for us tonight." Spark says, and he flies off into the woods.

"Be careful!" Kari yells, she didn't want her one and only companion to go too. She wanted to savor every life, protect others. And to never do anything wrong.

A few decades pass of surviving. It was harsh, because the fillies, who now are spirits, could never forget their lost family.

Kari was walking through the replenishing village. "Ah.. That day, was quite some day." She smiles warmly, and Spark walks by her side.

"And to think it wasn't too long ago. But now, we are replenishing. We are growing, remembering the harsh times, and now, we must make sure every pony is safe."

While she walks towards a river, she sees a filly, walking all alone, sitting and crying. All alone.

"What's wrong young one?" Kari rushes up to the filly.

"N-nothing.." The filly runs off,

Kari was concerned about the filly, and why she was crying, but she kept it in the back of her mind as she walks she goes to a river bank.

And sits by it, she lets out a sigh of relief. And stares at the water. "It's been so long.. And I've been here, protecting every pony."

A young filly then sits by Kari. "Miss.. I need your help." The young filly said, with a soft voice.

Kari turns and looks at her, and she smiles, "What's wrong young filly?" The filly, turns and looks at her, her eyes look almost ghostly. "I need help.. Finding my mommy and daddy.."

Kari looks at her, "Alright, do you know what they look like?" The filly shakes her head. "No.. I only remember that my daddy is.. In danger.." Kari's smile disappears.

"Danger?" Kari says, the filly nods her little head.

"One day.. Meany ponies came to my village.. 'We are here to take away and kill all your kirin ponies' they said.. And my daddy is a Kirin pony.. My mommy is an earth pony." Kari's eyes open wide. She then realizes, that this little filly is either long living, or.. Not of this world.

She tries to hug the filly, but phases through her. Tears come to her eyes. "Y-yeah.. I can help you." She sniffles, remembering the harsh times.

"I'll help you find you're true home, along with true happiness.."

The quest begins

Kari started to prepare, she knew that helping a ghost find their true happiness and rest in peace, isn't easy. She has done it before, but once or twice. So she had somewhat of an idea of what to do.

"So, young filly, what is your name?" The filly looked up at her. Then looked back down, " My name..? " The filly said, as if she was confused.

"Yes. Your name.. Do you have one I may call you by?" The filly looked up at her, and shook her slowly. "I do not have a name that I can remember.." The filly then seemed sad, her ghostly aura had changed color, going from a light green, now darkening to a sorrow filled blue.

"Hmm.." Kari thought to herself, 'Maybe, I can give her a name until we find her parents. Maybe they'll know.' She then nodded her head. "Alright young one, how about I give you a name?" The filly looked up, a tear flowed down her little cheek, "Would you really give me a name?" The filly said, her ears now perked up, and her ghostly aura changed back to a light green.

Kari nodded her head, while smiling. Now all she had to do was think of a name. 'Hmm.. A name for a ghost filly..' That was a tough thing to think of.

Then suddenly, it came to her, she always younger sister named Dew Drop.

"How about Dew Drop?" The filly nodded her head immediately, "Yeah, Dew Drop sounds good!" And the Quest began, Dew Drop and Kari now could begin the search for her lost parents in the East. Where the abandoned village of Stallvania.

"Alright Dew Drop, hehe," The name was a bit foreign to her, but she would get used to calling her by that name. "Let's go and find your mom and dad!" The filly nodded, Spark Fire then tapped Kari's shoulder. "What about me?" The dragon was not happy, she had almost forgotten about her one and only companion.

"You're coming with, of course! You can see the dead better than I, so you are a need." Spark looks back to the village, they know how to get food on their own now, so he shrugged, "Sure."

Kari, Spark Fire and Dew Drop all started to head East. "So Kari, who's the little?" He looked over to the filly, who stayed right by Kari, she looked a bit scared of Spark. But that's normal. "This is Dew Drop, the little ghost friend we're helping." He thought about it. Then looked over at Kari with the expression that he didn't care much, he just didn't want to be pestered by the other ponies at the village. "Okay."

"Hello there mister dragon, I'm.. Uh.. Dew Drop." Dew Drop looked over at Spark, looks like she mustered enough courage to say hello.

That's a good thing, the journey wasn't going to be short, the distance through the forest was not going to be easy to trek through or easy to go through with a Dragon, Half Kirin pony and a ghost.

"Hi there Dew Drop, I'm Spark Fire, Kari's companion." He puffed out his chest, wanting to look tough, but he's small, so he couldn't pull it off. The filly giggled, "You're silly mister uh.. Sparky!" Kari laughed a little at that comment, Sparky, last time he was called Sparky was when Kari was younger. Much much younger.

And so, they head into the forest, where it was very musky. Fog filled the forest floor, along with insects and flowers and odd plants. That, is where the Quest began. The quest to help a filly find her inner happiness.
