The Mysterious Colt

A large white pony walked in the stormy night and stopped. He lifted his head and looked at the castle that was shaped like a tree. This was where the princess of friendship, Twilight Sparkle, lived. And ponyville is not that far, Eon thought. He pulled the black cloak over his head and continued walking. He opened the door to the castle and shook the rain out of his pelt. His long grey mane and tail dragged across the floor as Eon silently walked across the hall and his sky blue eyes glowed dimly in the darkness. He stood at the door of the throne room and sniffed the air. He couldn't smell anyone nearby so he opened the door and trotted to the map. It showed all of Equestria except for one place- Eon's home village. He wasn't surprised by this because the village had been destroyed centuries ago when Eon was a little foal. His mother had given him to a kirin to raise before she was killed and Eon was the only one of his kind left to survive. Eon turned away from the map and sat on one of the chairs. He lied his head on the arm of the chair and closed his eyes. It had been a tiring day and he needed some rest for tomorrow- well, later actually.

Twilight awoke and rose from her bed and streatched. Her mane was a mess so she combed her hair and brushed her teeth. Spike was still asleep when Twilight had finished. "Spike, wake up," the purple alicorn said prodding the baby dragon with a hoof. Spike blinked and mumbled sleepily, "What is Twilight?"

"We to go see Rarity today remember?" Twilight reminded him.

"Oh yeah," Spike said as he got out of bed and rubbed his eyes.

"Can you go get something from the throne room? I think I left a book on the map the other day," Twilight asked.

"Sure thing Twi," her number one assistant said as he ran to the throne room. Twilight walked over to the mirror to make sure she forgot to brush something. After that, she walked outside to find Spike running up to her. "Twilight! I found a pony sleeping on your throne," he said. "Show me Spike," Twilight said and the two began walking briskly to the throne room. Spike was right. A white unicorn with a crooked horn was asleep on Twilight's throne. "I wonder who that pony is," Twilight whispered. The unicorn opened it's eyes and looked at the princess.

"I do apologize Twilight Sparkle. I didn't think you would mind," he said as he stood up and streatched. His mane and tail fell to the floor with a small flop sound.

"It's alright. What's your name?" Twilight asked.

"Eon," the unicorn replied. Twilight nodded and said, "Would you like to stay for breakfast? There's plenty for both of us." Eon smiled and replied, "Thank you, Princess. I appreciate your offer." As the two ponies and dragon walked to the kitchen, Twilight caught a glimps of movement under Eon's cloak. Could it be wings?

"Eon?"

"Hm?"

"Do you...have wings?"

Eon was silent for a moment before saying, "No, it's just my companion Cheibey." He used his magic to lift his cloak and a white cat-like creature opened it's blue eyes and streatched.

"Oh, we're here already? I thought it would take ages to reach ponyville!" Cheibey said as she leaped onto the floor without making a sound.

"Wait, you can talk!?" Spike asked in shock.

"It's telepathy. I'm sooo hungry! Where's the food around here?" Cheibey asked as she twitched her long whiskers.

"Show some respect Cheibey. This is a princess you are speaking to," Eon scolded.

"Sorry, Princess Twilight Sparkle. I didn't mean to be rude," Cheibey apologized and lowered her head.

Twilight smiled and said, "It's alright. I'm hungry too. How about we all have breakfast together?" Eon flicked his ear and said, "I don't eat that much." Twilight looked at him in surprise.

"Seriously? Why not?" she asked.

"...it's just a habit," Eon replied.

"Well, if you say so," Spike said with a shrugg. Hmm, this pony's strange. Maybe I'll ask him a few questions about himself later on, Twilight thought to herself.

After breakfast, Twilight decided to go to Rarity's house.

"Hey, do you want to meet my friends? I'm going to one of them right now," she told Eon.

"It'd be a pleasure to meet them," Eon said with a nod.

"Well come on! We're gonna be late!" Spike said as he ran out of the castle with Cheibey running swiftly beside him. Twilight chuckled and galloped after him. "Spike, wait up!" she neighed. She stopped and panted heavily when she reached ponyville and looked up. Eon looked back at her in amusement and asked, "Are you alright?" Twilight nodded and walked over to him. "Yeah, just tired. Over there is Rarity's home," she said as she pointed to a large fashion store. The two ponies entered the building to see Spike introducing Cheibey to Rarity. "And that's Eon," he said pointing to the white unicorn.

"Why, you're as tall as Princess Celestia! I've never seen any other pony as tall as you!" Rarity gasped.

"That's a good thing...Right?" Eon asked.

"Oh yes! In fact, Princess Celestia asked me to make a gown for her and you're the perfect model!" Rarity said happily.

"Well this is gonna be interesting," Cheibey said.
