(this is my first Fanfic, so it may have errors, tell me if you find any.)
The Echo is an Unexplored Continent by the Equines due to the violent storms surrounding it borders that rips magic to shreds. Echoians and Equines have met though, since Echoians are immune to the storm’s magic since they use something different, auras, which they harness due to a Genetic Mutation that 99.9% of Echoians have, but They do have magic as well, but they prefer auras. and finally, they are all alicorns due to another genetic mutations, but they can alter their shape due to being able to alter their own and other’s auras. We will follow the story of one such Echoian by the name of Day Breaker, who wanders Equestria.

Chapter 1: Arrival

The Ponyville Train Station would be busy, when one of the trains stopped to unload their passengers leaving, one of them being a white pegasi with a Blond mane and Red and Blue Eyes. “....ponyville, quite different from the other settlements I've seen in Equestria…” he trotted away from the train station, avoiding most contact with equines, as he trotted towards Twilight's Castle, being stopped by two guards in front of the entrance.

One of the guards said “...Do you have business here, pegasi?”

Day would respond calmly “...no….just looking…”

He would trot off, heading into a bar. he would sit on a bar stool, the barpony coming up to him “what can I get you sir?”

Day would look at him “....Ice on the rocks….”

the barpony would nod, making it quickly, then sliding it over to him. Day nodded to him, before he started to drink, drinking it quite quickly. then he left the bits for the drink and a tip on the bar counter, then leaving.he would trot towards town hall, being interrupted by a mare tackle-hugging him.

Day having hit the ground “what the?!”

The mare would be giggling, getting up.“Well hello there!”

Day would sigh “....why did you tackle me exactly….?”

The mare would smile “its just how I greet ponies sometimes! ^.^”

Day would look weirdly at the mare “....oookay? may I ask your name then miss? ”

The mare would smile wider “Cake Blade! whats yours?”

Day would return to his calm look “....Day Breaker….”

Cake Blade would giggle “neat name Day breaker!"

Day would sigh, starting to trot off.

Cake Blade following, smiling. “So what brings a pegasi like you to ponyville?”

Day would sigh. “....I am a wanderer from a different country.”

Cake Blade seemed more excited “Ohhh! what country?”

Day would look at her now “....The Echo….”

Cake Blade would tilt her head “The Echo….?”

Day would sigh “....Home of the Auramancers…..”

Cake blade would have a surprised face now “ohhh….Auramancers…..otherwise known as...Echoians….right?”

Day would nod “yes…..”

Cake Blade would jump excitedly “yay, heard their interesting, but how do you and other Echoians survive the Storms surrounding the borders?”

Day would look at her again “...well, our genetics prevent the storms from affecting us due to the auramancy mutation...the mages wanted no one but Echoians from entering or leaving The Echo”

Cake would nod “...okay….why did they exactly casted the storms?”

Day would sigh “....I don't know….but Echoian historians say its due to the taint corrupting them”

Cake would tilt her head again “...Taint….?”

Day would sigh again “The Taint corrupts alicorns, which 99.9% of Echoians are….but we can alter our aura to change our shape…”

Cake would nod again “...so you're a alicorn?” Day would nod “yes….now I should be going….” Day would start to trot off,

Cake following “...Ill join you Day ^.^”

Day would sigh, as they trotted away from ponyville, towards the everfree. As they walked towards the everfree, they would hear a hiss,

Day gulping “...lets just not go into the everfree.” He would trot the other way,

Cake pouting “...why can't we….?”

Day would sigh “I have a fear of snakes from a foal hood incident.”

Cake would nod, as they would start to trot towards east, going over the ponyville river with Day’s auramancy. “....where should we head

Cake?” Cake would shrug.

Day would sigh “...I've always wandered.”

Cake would smile “we should wander to the other side of equestria…”

Day would chuckle “....alright then”

They would start trotting to the East again. Stopping for the night, as Day would use more of his auramancy to make a campfire and set up the two tents he had with him in his saddle bag, as they would rest for the night. Day would wake to hearing galloping, as day would quickly get up, forming his katana from his aura. A stallion, a mare, a filly, and a colt, running from a manticore. Day would quickly rush at the manticore, tapping its forehead several times, forcing its aura to fade, causing the manticore to roar in pain, running off, as the ponies running from it kept on running, not noticing Day or the camp. Day would sigh, his katana going back into his aura while he trotted back to the camp “...equines are one of the weirdest ponies.”

Cake would come out of her tent, stretching “....what happened Day?”

Day would sigh “....manticore chasing a equine family….used my auramancy to scare it off…”

Cake would giggle “I’d like to see more of your auramancy...Day” Day would chuckle “...maybe you'll see more of it soon, depends on how the future is”

Day would bring out ingredients for breakfast, making breakfast for them and giving cake her breakfast after he finished making breakfast.

Cake biting into the haycake that was part of the breakfast “...Wow….this is...amazing! where did you learn to cook like this Day?”

Day would look at her “...Self-Taught...same with my level of auramancy...and most other skills I have…”

Cake would smile “...well you did good in teaching yourself these skills Day ^.^”

Day would blush gently “....Echoians are raised that way….not our choice….but it ends up being more than good, since it helps us if we get lost or wander place to place…”

They would finish their breakfast, Day putting the camp into his saddle bag again, using his aura to downsize the tents. They would start to trot off,

Cake looking at Day “...Day...Just curious….but how old are you?”

Day would look back with his red-colored eye “...158...been in equestria for 30 years…..Echoians can't die naturally...due to auramancy.”

Cake would gasp “....that's unique!”

Day would sigh “....but it can be kinda boring sometimes if I am alone for a long time…”

Cake would smile, hitting him playfully “...but now you got me to travel with you day!”

Day gave a light smile “....true….” They would trot further East. Something was Afflicting Day breaker...but what was it?
