Adventures In Equestria

Yay! Adventure!

"Yeah sure whatevs" You answer, trying to pass yourself off as cool. She gives you a confused look but quickly goes back to smiling.

"Great!" She says happily "Follow me! I'll explain on the way." And with that she takes off  in a flash of colors, with you quickly taking off after her."

"So, what are we going to do on this adventure?" You ask after finally catching up.

"Well, lately the weather ponies have reported that a few of their cloud have gone missing. I didn't think much of it at first, but yesterday they said an entire batch of clouds disappeared! That's like, 30 clouds! The only witness says she saw some pony in a cloak leaving the scene, but that they threw some dust in her face that made her pass out." Rainbow explained, having to yell so that you could hear her at the speed you two were flying.

"Wait, so if you don't know who did this then how do you know this is the right way to go?" You asked.

"I don't know. Lucky guess, a hunch, plot convenience? Choose one and be quiet! We're almost the-." Rainbow spoke but you had stopped listening. Off in the distance, standing on a cloud,  you saw something that was almost too much for your mind to handle. You knew Rainbow quickly noticed it as well because she suddenly stopped talking.

It was a bipedal creature of some sort. It was at least 7 feet tall,  that's over 3 feet taller than either you or Rainbow Dash. It had long bony appendages growing out of what you could only assume to be its front hooves. The thing's mane was also strange, covering the entire top of its head in black greasy looking hair. The creature was thin, as if it had never had a meal in its life. It had no fur and its was so pale.

"What should we do?" Rainbow asked, a hint of fear in her voice. Just that small hint was enough to make you afraid as well. If Rainbow Dash was scared then something was definitely wrong. What had she asked? What should we do? What should you do? You had never seen a creature like this before.  But you weighted your options. On one hoof you could try to fight this creature. If you won then it would win you Rainbow Dash's adoration, get you named a hero, win you Rainbow Dash's adoration, get knighted by Princess Celestia, win you Rainbow Dash's adoration! And that's not even mentioning all the adoration you'd win from Rainbow Dash. But, this creature could be friendly and simply needs the clouds for something important. You don't see any of the other missing clouds but maybe you can get them back. That would lower the risk of this creature trying to kill you, and you might still win Rainbow's adoration if she sees that you're brave enough to fly right up to the creature and talk to it.
