Prolouge- How It All Begins

     This is not your ordinary tale. It's not full of dangers lurking around every corner or courageous quests to save ponies in danger. No this is a story of a young mare going out into the world to find something. Or rather somepony. All she knows about this pony is that he disappeared when she was 6 and after that, vicious creatures called changelings attacked Canterlot. How do I know all of this? Because that mare, is me. My name is Sugar Rush and this is my story.

    I rolled around in my bed, my sleep being plagued by nightmares. My eyes snapped open as a particularly bad nightmare came to an end. I was trembling from head to tail, my heart still racing with fear. My mother came in to check on me, worry in her eyes. I rolled my eyes as relief passed over her face. My father had been called out by a threat to Equestria and I had wanted to go. When they said no, I had tried to go after him. Let’s just say my mother... Never loses sight of me.

    I was just about to fall back asleep when an explosion sounded in the empire, waking me up fully and startling my mother. She raced to my window and looked for the source of the sound. A large cloud of smoke was rising up from the middle of the city. My mother turned and shot out of my room, I was on my hooves and following her in an instant.

When we got to the explosion site, I looked around. Shards of crystal were everywhere and the guards were searching through the wreckage for survivors. But when they found none, they agreed that nothing could have survived the blast. It was then, however, that I noticed my father’s helmet lying on the ground, scorch marks and dents covering the metal.

“M-Mommy...?” My mother, Princess Cadence turned to the helmet and screeched. She shot over to the battered helmet and screeched again. The guards turned to the helmet, and upon looking at their faces I knew. My father, Prince Shining Armour....

Was dead.
