Bob

Hello, my name is Bob.  Bob Treasurehoof, to be exact.  I have a wife named Elm Sprout and two beautiful children named Joe and Stan.  I am a light blue pony with a  navy blue mane with a white streak running the length of it.  Along with my Chestnut eyes, I have a sword next to a map for my Cutie Mark.

Why am I telling you this?  Because, when I was a foal I loved to go on lots of adventures and find treasure and awesome stuff  like that.  That's how I got my Cutie Mark.  Anyway, during my adolescence, I still went on adventures in the forest and stuff, but I refined my tracking skills, hunting skills, and strength and endurance from many years of scaling cliffs, running from and fighting monsters, and swimming through deadly rapids with my loot.  By my late teens I had discovered a sizable amount of treasure and was trekking across Equestria.  Later, when I was Twenty years old, I had become well known for my treasure hunting skills.  Later that heart, Princess Celestia herself sent me a royal summons:

Dear Bob Treasurehoof, It been brought to my concern that a dark evil has been building up in the frozen North.  There is only one thing that can destroy this power - magical couch.  It has been woven with an much more powerful magic.  I would search for it myself, but my duties as a princess have kept me on my hooves.  Of course, I came to you, but you must possess equipment of equal or greater power in order to handle the couch.

That is why I have summoned you to my kingdom.  I have all of the necessary tools and supplies for your journey.  I am not sure for certain, but I believe that the Couch is -

That was all. The location of the couch was smudged out by an ink stain.  As I was saying I'm telling you all of this because I poured through legends and myths of a magical couch,ad the only ones I found said something that Princess Celestia had completely overlooked: The finder of The Couch will have no memory of his journey or his goal.

Of course, I couldn't overlook this, but my new treasure hunt was the most important of all, and I couldn't let Celestia down.  So, without knowing the location of The Couch and knowing there was definite chance that I would not succeed, I set off.

That was 50 years ago...
