Rise of equestrian royalty

Long ago in a land long forgotten by time, there lived a mighty race of ponies who were bat like in nature they were the Thestrals and their most common counterpart is the pegasi of today, all thestrals were nocturnal and lived and flourished in the night.

  Grey Skies sat alone in his bedroom he was cleaning his guard armor as a Thestral guard he was charged with protecting the small city he lived in just like his mother & father before him Grey should have been happy he was the youngest guard in the city at just eighteen years old and he was already a lieutenant much to his regret however that just ment it was another year he and his sisters would go without the love of their parents.

Greys parents had been in the city guard for fifteen years, those years had been had on grey and his sister as it meant that he was the one to basically raise his sister while his mother and father had to work, this wouldn't have been so bad except it meant grey had to adopt a more parental mindset and had to teach his young sister the do's and don'ts of thestral life, many years would pass like this, grey would always be there for his sister while also giving up a part of his teenage years...

(Five years later)

"Starry hurry up you're gonna be late to school!" Grey yelled up to his sister

  Grey skies had just graduated from the guard academy and was waking his sister from her sleep as he did most days, grey had become a guard to help his mother and father support the ever increasing school payments.

" Starry WAKE UP!!" Grey yelled again

Walking g up stairs he knocked three times on his sister's door and when she didn't answer he pushed the door open, and much to his supprise he found his sister wasn't sleeping instead he found a single piece of paper on her bed sheets, picking the paper up grey was shocked to read what it said.

(Starrys note)

"Dear grey.

I know you'll be the first one to find this and I would like to tell you how sorry I am you've had to raise me and while ill admit it was the best five years of my life I must also regret to inform you that I won't be coming home ever again, I just need to find my place in this world and I'd appreciate it if you didn't worry I promise you I'll write you when I find a place to live and I'll make sure we stay in touch... Also tell mom and dad I still love them an this isn't their fault either."

                                                                                                                            Love Your sister: Starry

Placing the paper down grey had a stream of tears flowing down his face, all he could think was, it was in fact his fault and he had to bring his sister back but he hadn't a single clue as to where she might have gone.

Grey left the room and began to walk down stairs thinking of how he would tell his parents that their seventeen year old daughter had just run away, all while thinking of a way to bring her home where she would be safe.
