The Lost ones an Everfree Story
Join us as we start with the tale of a pony obsessed with trees and the magic behind the timber wolves. The story starts with Buck a young unicorn who was abandoned at birth. His mother and father had him out of wed lock and decided they weren't ready for a child. They left him on the door steps of an orphanage in Ponyville. He was taken in by the orphanage and cared for. At the age of two he was adopted and taken into a new loving family. His new family owned a lumber mill and provided retailers with the material components they needed to make any if not all wood based furniture. If you had a chair or a table you can be sure that the Timberbacks provided the wood that made it. At a young age Buck became interested in plants and his families business but he was not fortunate enough to be born with a strong body. He was however, born with a strong mind. He used his mind to help his family instead with some magic he could move small objects like small packs of tinder and as he grew older he could move larger objects like logs and in one instance he was able to move a trunk. however, Buck had the same flaw that every other young Colt his age would and that was he was an insatiable curiosity. It didn't help that the Timberbacks lived near the tree line of the Everfree forest. He would always ask his parents why they never took from the forest and they told him a story. "Long ago there was a family just like there's that took from the forest and one by one the forest took from the family..." his parents told him. At first he was slightly frightened by the thought of what his mother and father meant but he figured they where just trying to scare him like they did when he was a foal. He decided to go against his parents wishes and cut down some of the trees from the forest and he took a large tree down and made a magnificent chair that his family sold at a grand total of 100 bits. Filthy Rich had stopped by and felt generous. His family was so proud of him but when they asked him he lied and just said that he made it from a pile of timber in the back of their house. Later that day he decided he would go back to the tree he chopped down and turn the stump into a nice table. As he was slowly de-rooting the stump from behind he heard multiple growls. He turned to see green eyes staring at him. Timber wolves and a sizable pack at that. they lunged at him and as he was about to become a quick meal for the wolves his family came to the rescue. But something changed him that day. Whether it was the rush of being pounced upon or the thought of almost dying he became obsessed with the timber wolves. And from then on he decided that it would be his life's goal to understand the forest that almost killed him and its magical mysteries. He left his family that day and pursued a Phd in magic at a university in Equestria's grand Capitol; Canterlot. He spent ten years in Canterlot and graduated with his Phd in magic but it wasn't enough he needed more. He returned home to his loving family but against their wishes he left once again and this time his destination was the very thing that almost killed him all those years ago. He decided he would live in the forest and study Timber wolves and how they come to be. To Be continued....
