Equestrian Adventurers

Swift spent the whole night gettin to know the other ponies and telling the other ponies about himself.

Man I need to make mental notes about all of these guys (Yes they are all male) So basically this is what I learned so far:

Dark shield- A black fur and purple earth pony. Has a purple shield with wings for a cutie mark. *I learned that these marks state said ponies *special talent* is. He seems to be the leader of this group.*

Zinc- A Unicorn with dark green fur with pepper mane and tail. He has a large red plus sign for his cutie mark as he is the medic. I was told he was the one who treated me when I passed out.

Reznox- A light purple fur coated clown. He loves puling pranks with his magic. (while we were all talking he made the illusion that a pack of wolfs made of wood were coming to eat us). His mane is pure white. He says it used to yellow though. His cutie mark is a ball of fire since he specializes in fire magic.

Splitroot- Aparently a relative of Dark Shield though they dont know how. He has a light brown coat with dirt brown mane and tail. His cutie mark is a large double bladed axe. He and Dark Shield work together for offence and defence when they ever fight.

Sky Shadow- A Blue coat pegasus with red main and tail. He didn't talk much about him self. From what I can tell his cutie mark also has a dagger on it, but also has an arrow forming an X pattern.

After explaining as much about humans as Swift could, Shield told everyone thats enough for tonight and head to bed. Everyone except Reznox went to bed as he had the night watch.

*Swift/Alex dream land*

"Swift......Swift Storm...I know you can hear me..."

"Uhhhh what?" Swift looks around and sees he is in some clouded place. What seem to be walls also seem to be clouds shifting around. A dark figure appeard infront of him.

"Swift Storm I am Princess Luna. It seems you are not at all who you said you are." The tall dark blue pony stood infront of swift. She had wings and a horn and was at least twice his size.

"Uhhhh how do you have wings and a horn?"

"Really? Thats the first thing you say? No screams or crying how you got  or where you are?"

"Yea I guess....I already kinda accepted that I really am in Equestri-whatever...."

"Equestria"

"Right. Thanks. Anywho I asked some questions and I thought I understood the basics till you showed up."

"I am an alicorn. Only those that are on the throne can assend to such a powerfull form."

"So you are what the Queen of Equestria?"

"My sister and I are the princesses. Only one of us can be a queen and we wish to be equal, so we kept our current status when it became time for one of us to be a queen."

"Interesting, where is your sister?"

"She is asleep. She rules the day time while I rules the night."

"Makes sense I guess. Why are you here?"

"Because you are the first of your kind to be here in over 1000 years."

"My kind? As in Humans?"

"Yes. In the near future you will be given a choice. To return home or stay here. The last one chose to stay here, he went by Starswirl the Bearded in this world, But in yours he went by Merlin."

"Wait....THE MERLIN?! As in wizard of the times when Kind Aurthur ruled?"

"Ahhhh so you do know of him. Yes he was a mighty Unicorn. He taught us almost 1/3 of our current known spells."

"Have there been others like he and I?"

"A few but the others are not important. For now rest child. You will have a....Interesting few days." She gave a small smirk then vanished.

Swift awoke the next morning to a wonderfull smell.

If they have bacon I will never leave this place.

Swift left the tent that he woke up in yesterday. Over by the fire was Dark Shield cooking.

"Hey Swift! Come over here and get some grub. We are going to be leaving soon so make it quick. After that I will show you how to take down the tent and give you a pack to carry stuff in."

Alex went over and sat next to Shield. In the pan looked to be round orange things....

"It's carrots. Try one you might like it."

"Uhhh how do I pick it up? Do you have a fork or something?"

"Oh right...You had what? Fingers? Anywho you just pick it up with your hoof. It really isn't hard."

Shield use his hoof to pick up a carrot from the pan and shoved it into his own mouth.

"See? Now you try."

Swift moved his hoof into the pan and attempted to pick up a carrot. Surprisingly it wasn't that hard at all! He moved the carrot into his mouth and ate it. Flavor erupted in his mouth.

"Oh my god....These are AMAZIING! Carrots back on earth never tasted like this."

Wait. Mabey it's the fact I am a pony now. Ponies like carrots and apples. Wait that means I don't eat meat anymore...

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Swift shouted.

Shield jumped scared."What is it? Are they bad?"

"No I just realized I am a herbivore now. That means I don't eat meat."

"Ahh let me guess you loved meat?"

"Yea all humans do. Well most do. Some try to go on a no meat diet saying eating meat is wrong,"

"Well you didn't eat horses did yea?"

"I didn't no, but some did."

Shields face turned into a face Swift wish to never see again. He looked like he was going to travel to Earth and murder ever human there.

"Hey Shield, horses and ponies aren't like the ones here. They are mindless and can't even talk. Trust me. Humans don't go and murder the animials. They let them live full lives and put them out of pain when they get old. (Swift lied a bit hopeing to calm Shield down)"

"I guess thats better. I thought you did it for sport or even for the fun of it."

"No not at all. Come on lets get packed up."

Swift and shield pack up the tent. Shield gave Swift a temp saddle bag.

"This one is a spare I carry. We will get you a real one once we get to Little Gem."

As Shield begin to walk away Swift put his hand on his sholder and turned him around.

"Shield...I just want to say thanks for everything you done so far. Taking me in, believing me, everything."

"Don't worry kid. I will not let any thing bad happen to you. You are in my group now and I let nothing happen to my group."

"By the way have you ever thought of a name for you group? Like a team name or something of the sorts?"

"Yes we go by Team Velkons"

After everyone packed up their belongins they followed the dirt path toward Little Gem.
