The Resurrection of Darkness

Chapter 1:

“Ugggg… What time is it?” This is the first phrase you will hear of our three heroes that will soon meet. But for now, that can wait. I will first tell you about this very odd Pegasus. It was 6:30 in the morning, and our hero was groggy indeed. But he didn’t mind: he stayed up late almost every night, and by now, he was more than used to it.

It was the first day of summer. Normally, he would be simply giddy, but he was actually looking forward to school. He was odd, as I stated earlier. The reason for this complex entering his head was his last summer was just horrid, as the one before and so on. He though that nothing good could come from summers and was certainly not looking forward to what was in store for himself this time around.

Now, we have a whole story to discuss all of his other odd thoughts, but you are probably wondering what he looks like. Well, he had round brown-rimmed glasses. His wings never developed quite correctly, so he instead had a purple amulet that allowed him to use magic in the place of flying. He was green, and had purple hair (with a pinkish streak through the front) that had a curl that went behind his right ear. He was 14 and a half, and his muzzle was mare styled, though he was a boy (it was a trait passed throughout his family) which he often was jeered at for, but he didn’t mind. He thought it looked nice, and it doesn’t matter to begin with. Oh, but it seems I have gotten carried away! I have almost forgotten to tell you his name! His name was Felix. Felix Wrightwind (Wrightwind was the family’s last name, passed through five generations of the Wrightwinds.).

He was wondering why his alarm went off at 6:30; then he realized he must have forgot to change the time for it to go off. “Ah well, might as well get up since I’m already awake.” Said he, and he did so. He got breakfast and decided to go for a walk around Ponyville. Now, if you are not familiar with this place (which you should be), here’s what it is. It is a place in Equestria, Maybe not too calm at times (looking at you, Pinkie and Discord), but it was, he felt, a great place to be. As he walked, he heard something, and this something would be a great turning point in his life, though he did not realize it.

It was a great, blaring siren-like noise. He was not too adventurous, but today he felt like he should figure out what was causing this noise. His ears were quite sensitive, so it did not take too long to find the source. It was a cyborg-pony. It wouldn’t be clear as soon as you would meet him, but he soon found out when he figured out that his eyes were gears! The pony didn’t seem a bit taken back, despite this reaction. He said “Oh, hello. I’m just fixing this siren; the police need it working soon.” He then held out his hoof. “My name is Steamgears, but you can just call me Gears. How are you?” Felix’s heart rate was finally going back to normal. “He seems friendly enough!” he thought. “I am fine, thank you. My name is Felix”, he said, shaking this awfully friendly cyborg-Pegasus’s hoof in response. Now, in case you didn’t know, Gears was 14 as well, as will the next hero Felix will encounter. “I can spare the rest of the day. Mind if I join you in your walk?”, said Gears. “Not at all!”, said Felix.

So they walked, and they were walking into the Everfree Forest before long. That’s where they heard another noise. This time, it wasn’t a blaring siren, but a soft melody, as if coming from a flute. Once again, Felix and his newfound friend followed it and saw another Pegasus, this time sitting on a tree stump playing a flute. Next to him was a tent. “Oh, sorry, did I disturb you? I’m just camping.” Said this pony. “Who are you? I haven’t seen you in Ponyville before.” Said Felix. “Oh, I don’t live there. I live in a valley of the mountains. My name is Robroski, but you can call me Rob.” Felix tried to imagine how nice it would be to live in the valley. It certainly sounded nice, to say the least. But let’s not get into that just yet…

Then Gears piped up. “My name is Steamgears, call me Gears for short. And this is Felix.” “Well it’s nice to meet you all. May I join your walk?” Said Rob. Steam and Felix nodded their heads at the same time. It was not too long before they heard a crash and screaming. And this is where we will end until next chapter…
