Scootaloo sighed heavily wiping a line of spit from her mouth. She got up from the ground and took a few steps back befor racing forward for the 23rd time today. Her small oragne wings fluttered furiously and she lept into the air, only to fall once again. A small tear of defeat pricked her eye. Sat up and decided that was enough for today. Why it was so hard for Scootaloo to fly she had yet tto figure out, but she kn ew she'd fly one way or another.
Her walk to the river to clean up was startled by a rustle in the bush. The small pegasus halted in her tracks. Her eyes burned into the direction of the noise. She could feel her heart pounding louder than her small breathes that she silenced in fear.
The rustle was heard again, Scootaloo backed away from the area. A purple hoof peered out followed by a tall, fairly skinny purple pegasus. Her bleach white hair made the blue braid in it stand out tremenously. The taller pegasus looked down at Scootaloo with such crystal light blue eyes, they where almost grey.
Scootaloo gulped and tried to run but couldn't move, like she was trapped in a nightmare, surrounded by the mysterious pegasi's ice cold gaze. Upon seeing the smaller pegasi's fear the purple one got down to eye level with a set of frieghtened purple eyes.
"Shhhhh...it's ok. I will not hurt you, child. I want to help you." The tall pegasus calmly spoke. "My name is Diri. You are?" Diri breathed and relaxed as did Scootaloo.
" I'm S-Scootaloo...Why are you here, Diri?" Scootaloo had relaxed a little but was still catious around this odd looking stranger.
"I am here because i saw you strugling but still determined. I want to help you fly. I can give you speed, flight, honor, anything, as long as you refurn my favor later on." Diri smiled sweetly at the wide eyed Scootaloo who was just thinking of the posibilities of say 'yes'.
"HECK YEAH!" The filly jumped up and down in excitment. She didnt know if this mare could actually do all this stuff but she was just excited upon the offer.
"Good. I will meet you here at midnight tonight to give you your wishes and have my favor returned. When you arrive i will not be seen unless you walk through the split tree at the first stroke of the bell. At the twelth stroke you need to be through the two spliting branches, that is when i will appear. Now go on your way. Have fun, and remember our agreement." Diri spoke with seriousness then sencirity as she smiled and waved to the bouncing orange filly, exiting the woods. "Now...she will become one." Diri laughed lowly with a devious grin. "But only on the twelfth stroke will she be my daughter."

phew! tht was a bitta work but ill have more chapters up next! so hamg tight!
Scootaloo had snapped out of her deep sleep at the sound of the first bell toll.
"Oh no!" she gasped and ran out the door of the CMC clubhouse where she slept. She scooted as fast as she could until she reached th eend of the woods at the 7th bell toll. She raced throught the forest, she looked around in a frenzy for the split tree. The 11th bell tolled. The orange filly spotted the tree and landed throught it as the last bell sounded behind her.
Scootaloo panted and looked around for Diri. She wandered around calling for her. A strange green, blue, and purple flash caught her attention. The filly peered from behind a bush, at the scene set befor her. Diri stood tall, her ears tipped with black and pointed, her teeth thrice as sharp, her deadly icy cold eyes had black slits in them, she wore gold wing protectors o the main top bone to base of her wings, that flared out at the group of similar looking pegasi befor her. All the pegasi stood in a group infront of her, purple coats, white hair and the same eyes as hers, though each ponies hair was a different style. they all, including Diri, wore a blue chest plate with Diris cutie mark portrayed on it. On every hoof visible, where blue metal shoe like coverings with 3 sharp claws on each.
"Now my dear followers, the bat ponies are planning an attack on us, and i am needing more guidance, since being deprived of modern society has had negative alterations on how the modern world works. I am in need of a younger, newer, more in key assistant. I need...a child." Diri paced and stopped to look at the crowd with her last words, who looked at her with a gasp.
Scootaloo gasped as well. Diri began to pace toward her bush and she scampered away to hid befor she was seen. She ran back to the split tree and stood as if she had been there the whole time.
"Scootaloo, there you are, dear. Are you ready to make your wishes?" Diri smiled at the filly who simply nodded.
"Ok, first i wish i could actually fly with my wings." Scootaoo said in all seriousness. A flash from behind her mad eher wince at the sudden light. She looked at her wings that know had the same wing armor as Diri on them.
"Try them out, i'll help you." Diri scooped up the little filly inbetween her front legs, making sure not to scratch the precious child with her claw covered hooves.
With this Scootaloo fluttered her wings furiously and felt her self rising up. Diri losened her grip and let the orange filly float and hover above her. Diri smiled with a small tear of pride. Scootaloo opened her eyes from their shut form of focus.
"I'M DOING IT! I'M FLYING!" Scootaloo got so excited she lost control of her wings and began to fall, Diri saw and caught the filly on her back.
"Ok my dear Scootaloo i have a surprise." Diri walked to the bush Scootaloo had been hiding behind earlier. She pushed past the weeds and brought herself befor her crowd of pegasi once more. "My beloved Diripientes, I have brought with me a child, who i plan to have rule along side me as your princess. Welcome to us, Scootaloo." Diri set Scootaloo on the rock platform next to herself and the purple pegasi all cheered at clapped. "Silence, please." Diri spoke and turned to face Scootaloo who peered out at the ponies befor her in frieght.
"So, will you, Scootaloo, be our princess? With me as your mother, and these pegasi as your followers?" Diri questioned, all the energy in the area foucused on her.
Scootaloo gulped and opened her dry mouth. "I-"

HAHA lol cliff hanger. so should she accept or decline?
"I- I accept." Scootaloo spoke, her eyes full of tears, they brimmed then streamed down her face. Diri wrapped her front legs around Scootaloo in a warm embrace.
"I'm not a monster. I promise whatever we do is for a benifit, not a monster. You can't let anyone know of you transformation or you will be treated like a monster." Diri looked the orange filly in the eyes.
"W-what transformation?" Scootaloo sputtered at the word.
"Yes, we all have had a transformation here. You too, need one." with this Diri leaned down and kissed each of Scootaloo eyelids. Her coat went purple, her hair white to match her 'mother's' and her sight was almost perfect in the dark through her slitted blue eyes. On each of everypony there's eyelids was the seal of diripientes, Diri's cutie mark. The once orange pony's wings grew slightly as well as her hight. Everypony stared in awe at their princess.
"Long live the Diripientes! Hail, hail! Long live the queen! Hail, hail! Long live our princess!" The diripientes chanted, their voices echocing through the forest. "Long live the reign!"
Diri looked at Scootaloo as if she should say something to her new found subjects. Scootaloo had confused emoitions, she was still a blank flank but she was aprincess and could fly, what more does she need? She stood confuised, excited, and all sixes and sevens, for that. She summoned ome courage to walk to the edge of the raised platfor liek rock that they stood on. She cast a look across the crowd, recognizing a few pegasi. This power somehow gave her comfort.
"My people, beloved awesome pegasi, im so thankful for all of this, and your new princess i will make sure that everything is epic! We will never lose! I promise to all of you, all of my new...family." She smiled greatly laughing a little with tears of joy at the last few words.
"Now go forth, we will meet again in one week, to prepare for battle." Diri proclaimed, now standing side by side with her new 'daughter'.
Once all flew back off into the night to their homes Diri once again hugged Scootaloo. They both had mixed emotions, but they both had no idea what was to come next.
