The Last Eclipse ep-1

Ep. 1:

Scene 1: Camera pans from the sky downward. It rotates down to a small house window  and starts to phase through it, and stops on a small, round pot of wax. The wax inside is suddenly illuminated by an orange aura and is lifted by it to an unknown white Stallion who smiles gently, his face is hidden by the camera with it stopping just under his eyes until it pans to his glowing horn, showing him to be a unicorn as he begins to mold the wax with his hooves. Several shots of him molding the wax into shape pass and notices he needs a little more wax to finish up the last leg of the pony-shaped candle he had been making, but when he looks to his pot, he frowns and sees it be empty of the special wax needed to form these special candles and sighs sadly.

Whicker Flame gets up and puts on his red vest, it being the only other color on his black and white body asides from his bright orange eyes and heads to the door.

1Whicker Flame: It looks like another visit to the Everfree once more.

Scene 2: He looks up to the sky and sees it is around midday and knows he needs to leave now if he wishes to return before the sun sets and finish his commissioned piece in just three days time. He heads back into his house and grabs his saddle and packs so that the can carry as much wax as he can back. Once he finishes and closes the door, he locks it tight, putting the key into his pocket before heading on his way towards the Everfree. Once he enters he feels a little uneasy since he still isn't used to wandering through the self-sustaining forest, finding it unnatural.

2Whicker Flame: Keep walking, Whicker. No need to think too hard about this place, just stay focused.

He says as he steadies his gaze forward. He soon comes upon the rotting remains of the ancient castle of Princes Luna, and Princess Celestia, but heads around it to continue on his way after staring at it for a moment. After reaching the other side of the castle he goes further into the forest until he reaches a clearing with a single tree in the center. The sight of the tree brings a smile to his lips and he starts making his way towards it, but once he is halfway there he stops, and frowns, seeing the hive of bees smashed on the ground. This would normally just make him shrug and leave, but this particular hive of bees makes the special wax he needs to make his one of a kind candles.

3Whicker Flame: Now what am I going to do? These were the last ones that I could find any mention of in the maps in the old library.

He said, worrying about-about what to do as he held a hoof to his chin and looked at the ground, pondering on what to do next, and gasps with a small smile as he comes to an idea. Maybe someone in town will have heard of them before, and could point him in the right direction of one of the few remaining hives.

Scene 3: Whicker makes his way back to Ponyville to see if he can find anyone who has heard of ANY location that the Midnight Bees have made their hives.

Whicker learns from some random ponies that Princess Twilight could know and that he should check it out, so he heads over there only to find out from the guards that she has gone with her Council of Friendship to Canterlot.

4Guard1: I am sorry, but she's not here so you'll need to leave until she arrives home.

He says and nods to Whicker, which causes him to start walking off in defeat until he runs into a pony working on a statue nearby who overheard the conversation.

5Pastel: I heard that you were looking for a certain material. I can tell you where to find some, for a price.

Says the orange furred Stallion with a smirk. Whicker Flame looks at him for a moment, thinking it over but then nods, feeling like he has no better option.

6Whicker: Alright. What do you want?

7Pastel: I just need part of the honey comb for some paint.

Whicker looks surprised at that, but smile and nods at that, holding his hoof out to shake, which the other pony accepts.

8Whicker: So where do we need to go?

9Pastel: You'll need to head to the Everfree and reach the castle of the two sisters, then head west. I'll guide you there.

The stranger said smiling and they both start heading off. It wasn't long till they reached the castle but then the stranger felt something in the castle and said

10Pastel: You go ahead and go on ill catch up later.

With that, he heads inside the castle and Whicker heads off to find the hive. After about an hour of walking, he arrives at a clearing and is unnerved to see many mounds scattered around the clearing, but starts walking through them as he sees the hive on a tree on the other side of it.

He starts trotting over to it until he hears the sound of leaves rustling and suddenly a shadowy figure lands in front of him, startling him.

11Whicker: Oh, I'm terribly sorry, but would you please give someone a little warning next time? You nearly gave me a heart atta- Wait, what are you do-

And with that whicker felt pain, saw black, and was knocked out cold.
