My name is Thunderstorm and I  am a   Pegasus. I have run away from my home, my family, and my city into  the Everfree forest. I hope to find some safety in this once monster filled forest, as the monsters are now the guards for the  5 rulers. It is said that a Dragon and three horrible mares, but I am willing to take a risk because nowhere else is as safe.  I have made it to a clearing and I hear a rustling in the bushes. "Who is that?" No response. I don't know what it is , but it is obvious that I am surrounded. As  I am about to bolt  4 shadows appear.  One  is  bigger than the other three . The  shadows step through the bushes and I see 5 more -  size of  foals  my age- appear behind them. One is a purple and green dragon who has spikey- whatcha call it? Spikes? Hair?.  The three  ponies are obviously mares. One is  orange with a purple and  spikey mane. One is buttercream with a red, tied back, mane. One is white with a purple and pink braided mane. Like  all others none had cutiemarks, as the  ones who stumbled upon their talent were executed, or so Thunder thought until he saw the foals.
