“Alright, today I’m going to it, I am going to fly!” shouted the little pearl white filly with rainbow mane stated with determination.

Do to diminutive size of her wings, Chroma couldn’t fly very well. The other kids at school, especially these two Earth pony colts, Gold Mine and Rough Gem, two stuck up rich boys, always made fun of her. It was bad enough that she didn’t have a cutie mark yet. Chroma wasn’t anything like her tough mother. She like to read books and was a very timid pony, most likely like her clumsy father. She wouldn’t usually let her emotions get to the best of her, but today, Gold Mine finally called her the one word she hated, an ostrich. Well she wasn’t going to take it anymore. She was going to fly today, and that was that!

“Alright,” she said as she began to flap her wings at rapidly, “Here goes nothing!” She started to run cross the grass under her cloud home. She figured that getting a running start would help her.“Rrrrr….” She began to sweat from flapping her wings so fast. She gasped when her hooves were slightly lifting off the ground. “Oh my gosh! I’m doing it!” she shouted cheerfully, turning to see her wings and not paying attention to where she was headed, “I’m actually…OOF!”

She had smacked into a branch of a tree, which caused her to fall onto the ground and rolled deeper into the Everfree Forest! She had than was caught in a current of a very powerful river. She managed to get out when a sturdy branch stopped her from flowing any further from home.

“Ouch…that wasn’t part of the plain” she said as she rubber her slightly bruised forehead. She shot up her head when she heard a loud howl.
“Uh-oh, I’m in the…Everfree Forest.

She began to quiver in fear as began follow the river back to home. However, it was very dark and she couldn’t see if she was going to bump into anything. Surely, she did and fell on to her blank flank.

“Ouch…” she said has she rubbed her forehead again.

When she looked up, she was face to face with a Timberwolf, one of the most dangerous creatures in to forest.

“AAAAAAAHHHHHH” she screamed as she swiftly backed up, only to find that she backed up into a nearby tree. She was now trapped. She couldn’t go anywhere. The Timberwolf was inching closer to her, growling all the way. Chroma began to cry. “HELP! ANYBODY!” she shouted, hoping that somepony would hear her. The Timberwolf lunged forward, with its mouth hung open, ready to enjoy a meal. Chroma closed her eyes shut, as she lost all hope.

“GET OUT OF THE WAY!”

All of a sudden, a hoof grabbed her and pulled her out of the way, letting the Timberwolf smack his head against the tree she was cowering at. She reopens he eyes to see who had saved her. She was shocked at what she saw. At first it seemed to be a young unicorn, but it had wings, very bug like wings. ‘Was it an Alicorn?’ she wondered. She looked at his bent horn, observing it's weird shape. She then glanced at his legs, which had holes.

“What is he?” she asked herself.

Her thoughts were caught off when the Timberwolf rose back up and let out a viscus roar. The creature stepped bravely in front of Chroma, as if he was protecting her.

“You listen here!” he said with is echoic voice, “You leave her alone and go find something else to eat! Do you understand me!?”
He seemed to growl at the log headed Timberwolf. However, the Timberwolf charged at the black creature, not showing any fear.
“Fine,” the black creature smirked, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

The black creature’s horn began to glow a limestone green as large amounts of electricity was shot from it. It struck the Timeberwolf, sending tons of watts of electricity through its body. The Timberwolf fell apart into small pieces of wood, for it couldn’t take the voltage of the black creature’s attack.

This astonished Chroma! How could this creature this young be so powerful? Maybe he wasn’t young. Maybe he was full grown. Her mind became deep in thought has she looked up and the creature’s cobwebby mane and tail.

“Serves you right,” he said as he looked at the pieces of wood, “Now why don’t you pick yourself up and get out my part of the woods!”
Chroma watched in confusion and a few seconds later in fear as the broken wood pieces began to float. The Timberwolf built itself back together. Once it did, you could tell that it was scare, as it whimpered. With one more glare from the black and green creature, the Timberwolf ran into the forest with its tail between its legs

The black creature sighed. “Are you ok?” he asked as he turned to face the young filly.

“Yeah…yeah, I’m ok. Thanks to you,” Chroma said as she picked herself up.

Her joy was short lived when she saw the creature was giving her a frightening glare.

“What are you doing here?” he asked.

“I…I…”

“Do you know how dangerous it is here?!” yelled the creature in frustration, “And why are you in my part of the forest?!”
Chroma began to coward again as tears began to flow from her eyes. “I…I… was trying to fly…and…and I bumped into a tree at the edge of the forest. I lost control and fell into the river and it pulled me all the way down here. I didn’t know this was your part of the forest. I’m sorry. If you may, please lead me to the way out and I’ll never bother you again.”

The creature looked at her pleading eyes, making feel a bit sorry for yelling at her. “Hmp! Fine, but if you ever come here ever again, there will be consequences! You got that!”

She nodded her head as she picked herself up and followed the creature back up stream. On their way, she noticed a little refined area which began the stream of the river. There was a beautiful waterfall and gorgeous lake, with a single, flat surfaced rock in the middle of the lake with which seemed like a path from it to the waterfall. She then stood side by side with the creature, to get a better look at him. His mouth had one tooth sticking out his top lip, on each side of his muzzle, which had a small scar atop of it. He had a few other scars on his face, most likely from past fights. However, that wasn’t what Chroma payed the most attention to. She couldn’t help but to look at his emerald colored eyes. They shimmered in the dim light of the Everfree. She soon found herself staring into them and couldn’t pull her attention away. She found them so magnificent. It wasn’t until he looked back at her, that she quickly turned to look in forward.

“Why was I staring at him like that?” she asked herself.

“We're here,” he said as Chroma snapped back into reality.

There it was, the ground where a shadow caused by her cloud home in the sky laid. “Oh…umm… Thank you…umm” she said shyly.

“It’s Efon. Just don’t come back,” he groaned in annoyance as he turned and made his way back into the Everfree Forest.

She watched as he disappeared back into the forest. She was hoping to know more about him, like what was he and why he lived in the horrifying forest.

“Chroma!” shouted a cyan, rainbow colored mane Pegasus. “Oh there you are squirt, what are you doing all the way out here? It’s almost supper time!”

“Sorry mom, I was just practicing on my flying and kind of lost track of the time,” she lied to her mother. She wouldn’t normally lie to her mother, but she knew if she said she was in the Everfree, her mother would flip out and more than likely, ground her.

“Well I bet your doing a great job and working hard,” Rainbow said, as she was glad to see that her daughter was trying her best to fly, “but climb on my back, your dads waiting for us."

Chroma took one last look at the deep, dark forest and then climbed onto her mother’s back. However, she couldn’t help but feel something was wrong, like something was missing. She shook her head as she tried to get her mind off of today.
