On burning wings

It was a lovely afternoon in Ponyville, a small village in the country of Equestria and for it's citizens the day seemed to be unable to get any more perfect. The sun shined brightly, foals were busy playing after getting done with their homework. The sounds of Happy ponies filled the streets. One couldn't imagine that only a week prior the world was almost destroyed by Chrysalis the Queen of the Changelings and her swarm. A young purple dragon walked through the streets with a bag of recently bought goods. A few ponies smiled and waved at him as he made his way back to the library he called home. "The ponies here are always so nice." The young dragon said with a content smile on his face at the cheerfulness of the villages populace. It was a peaceful town and that's why they loved it.

A lavender unicorn mare sat at her desk reading a book she recently obtained from the bookstore. It was a fiction novel called Daring Doo and the Sword of The Skyfyre. "I still can't believe somepony managed to get permission to write a new Daring Doo! This one's incredible, sure it's obviously not the original author but, it feels the same." She said with a smile as she continued to read.

"And so Daring Doo entered the final chamber of the Skyfyre Shrine the symbols on the wall depicted what looked like Pegasi with wings made of fire casting spells from their wings. As she walked the pictures became more graphic showing the population being devoured alive by dragons the Dragon's scales negating the magic they threw at them in attempts to defend themselves, the graphic nature of the images started to make Daring sick to her stomach. Until one of them raised a blade made of gold with a ruby inlaid in the handle. The next picture depicted this sword giving the wielder the power too-"

"Command Dragons?!" The bookish mare's reaction was not surprising as this was the usual reaction when she figured out why the villain of the series would seek the artifact and piece together what he would do with it. At this moment the young dragon walked in. "Twilight? What's wrong I heard you shout... oh new book got it." The young dragon seemed more than displeased with the conclusion to why she was startled. "He-he, sorry Spike. It's just that I recently got a copy of the new Daring Doo book. Which while not written by the original author stills reads the same. It's a perfect sequel." Twilight Sparkle said with a sheepish smile and a blush. She showed Spike the book and he looked it over as if in deep thought. "Don't they have something that looks like that at Canterlot Castle?" Spike said while pointing to the sword which made Twilight's eyes spring open in realization. That sword was Real.

Not a moment after Twilight realized this her assistant let out a belch of green flames the shifted into a scroll. "A letter from the princess? I wonder what's going on?" She unfurled the letter and read aloud. "Dear, Twilight Sparkle. Equestria had received some new residents 21 years and I thought to let you know that this pair of siblings would be moving to Ponyville. Only recently has the nature of their power been discovered but, I'm confidant that you can figure out how to best help them. Sincerely, Princess Celestia."

"New ponies? Well I think it's about time we got some new faces." Spike said with a grin. "That's very true Spike. But, what did the Princess mean by, The nature of their power?" Her expression taking a trip down the opposite side of the emotional spectrum than her Dragon assistant, she was worried. "Aw come on Twilight, Lighten up. If the Princess thinks you can help them, then I know you can!" Spike said which quickly returned the smile to Twilight's face. "Your right Spike, now let's go see if they've arrived yet." Just as she said that a knock came to the door of the Library which Twilight quickly answered. "Welcome to the Books and Branches how can I... help... you?" She slowed her sentence down when she looked at the visitors. A Pegasus Stallion and Mare both with Blue, Orange, and white color schemes stood at the door. The Stallion's mane, tail, and wings danced with bright blue flames while the Mare's did the same only with Orange flames. "Um, yes hello are you Twilight Sparkle? My brother and I were supposed to let you know when we got here." The mare said with an awkward shuffle of her hoof at how Twilight was staring at her and her brother. Twilight could only manage a very stunned response. "Y-Your... Skyfyre ponies."

This earned her a nod from both of her guests. "Yes... I'm Fireburst and that's my sister, Melody. Your actually taking this better than most." The stallion said with a smile. Which quickly faded when Twilight fell to her side. "Still better than most." He said as the smile returned and elected to help their new friend into her home. "Hello? Is anypony there Miss Sparkle fainted and I need to know if you have any water." Melody called out into the Library as Fireburst set Twilight on the couch. She mumbled something along the lines of "Warm, not hot." Which he took as her commenting about his wings as he had to place her on his back near them when he picked her up. "Who's there? Is Twilight alright? How did she... Whoa you two look cool." Spike said as he entered the room and noticing the two guests. "Best reaction yet. I think I'm gonna like this town" Fireburst said with a smile as he continued to nurse Twilight back from unconsciousness.

A/N: Hello Everypony and thanks for reading the first chapter of my pet project. This story has been in my mind and on paper since I first became a Brony and made this OC pair. I basically thought if Pegasus could use magic what would it do to their bodies. As the effects of magic on their appearance would obviously be different then than with Unicorns. Then it hit me. Fire, it would make their manes, tails, and wings look like fire. They would give off gentle heat but, never burn. The heat would come from the magic and not from being actual flames. This led to the name of the race. Skyfyre, which came about do to the fact that they would fly on wings of flame.

So I hope you look forward to this story and also go check out My Second Life by Coal Buck, as reading his work gave me the inspiration to actually start writing this on the internet. Oh and please tell me if you think my renditions of characters do them justice. I'm honestly trying to get them as authentic feeling as possible and if I need to change something to do that please let me know.
