Twilight Sparkle was lying on her bed with a book in her hoofs, she had gotten it as a present from Princess Celestia. The princess said Twilight should read it as soon as possible, and the Princess was strangely excited about it. Twilight was okay with it though, she loved reading books and she especially loved reading the books Celestia got her.

"Well, let's get started, if I know the Princess this if going to be good." Twilight said in her mind as she began to open the book with her magic. Twilight opened the book and was amazed by what she saw, all the pages were black with rainbow writing that seemed to glow a bright light. Twilight had never in her life seen a book as amazing as this one, she knew that this was going to be a spectacular story.

"Alright, let's see what this book has to offer," Twilight said with excitement in her voice as she turned to the first page and started reading. Twilight was still taken by the unique pages of the book her mentor, Princess Celestia got her. Twilight began by reading the title of the book first.

"The Tale Of Queen Inferna," Twilight then went silent for about a few moments before finally saying something. "Queen Inferna......SINCE WHEN DID EQUESTRIA HAVE A QUEEN!!??"

Twilight then went back to reading the book, she wanted answers and this book was going to give her them.

5 thousand years ago in the land of Equestria, ponies lived in peace and happiness. They would play and live together all day and night. Every pony was unique and special in their own way, but there was one young and strange mare named Firelight who was different then the rest of the pony's. She lived by herself, in a cave deep inside the Everfree Forest. Firelight was not like the other mares mostly because of her appearance, her body was that of a reptile, the mare had scales over her back, hooves and neck. She had four long and black horns growing from the sides of her head and a long-spiked reptile tail. This was all because she wasn't actually a pony at all.

Firelight was a Kirin, a hybrid of a pony and dragon. Her father was a Fire Dragon named Heat Thrower, who had died when Firelight was only 5 years old. She never meet her mother Sweetshine, who died during child birth. because of her mother, Firelight still had pony qualities. A short and spiky red mane, her coat was orange and she had red beautiful eyes. She liked to wear purple eyeliner to make herself feel more girly. Her cutie mark was a yellow crystal on fire. Because of the way she looked, Firelight was afraid of ever leaving her home.

Firelight was 15 years old, tall and strong. She was able to run and jump with great speed and agility, and was also able to crush rocks with her hooves with great strength. Firelight had magic like unicorns, however her magic is in the form of flames from her four horns. She mostly used her magic to blast away invading creatures who wanted to attack her or invade her home. She learned all she knows from the books that her mother and father left her before they died.

Firelight never needed or even wanted any help from anypony, she could eat from the fruit of the tree's near her home. She had plenty of water from the river a few feet away from her cave and lots of room to run and play around. Firelight did always wanted a friend, but with the way she looked she knew she never be able to get one.

Firelight never talked to any other pony, she was afraid of what they would think of her appearance. She thought that if anypony saw her and how she is, they would freak out and try to capture her, they would put her in a cage and keep her prisoner. She never really needed to leave her home, she had many books to keep her Entertained and enough food for years.

Firelight's cave was vary large, it could probably hold an entire pony house inside. The ground was soft and had flowers growing from it, there was plenty of shade for hot days and had lots of interesting caverns in it. she had plenty of things to keep her comfortable, she had her bed and desk for her room. She also had a big book shelf full of deferent types of books and papers for her to read. The shy red mare had everything she needed to live.

But one unfortunate day she ran out of food. All the fruit on the tree's just disappeared without a trace and the only place to get more was from the giant tree in a nearby village. Firelight knew that when the pony's of that village needed food they would pick from the giant tree, and the fruit of the tree is said to be the most delicious food in the land. she didn't want to wait for the fruit to grow back on the tree's near her home, she would starve to death by then. She had to face her fears and inter the village to get what she needs, Firelight got her bags and left her safe home to enter the Everfree Forest. She was never afraid of the dark forest, but it seemed to be afraid of her. Whenever a large or dangerous creature saw her they would run in fear. She finally got to the other side of the forest after an hour of walking and came to a bridge that went straight to the village.

"Well here it is, might as well get this over with." Firelight said to herself with both fear and hunger in her voice. she hadn't eaten anything all day, her stomach sounded like a roaring dragon.

Firelight started to walk slowly over the bridge, looking straight forward and at the houses that where all bright colors of blue, red and yellow. She finally got to the other side and after a deep breath entered the village. The Kirin nervously continued to walk through the village looking at all the ponies. Looking at all the smiles and hearing the laughter from them, she smelled the flowers growing from the gardens of the nearby houses.

"Wow, I've never seen so many ponies before." Firelight thought in her own head with a smile.

She looked in amaze at all the different pony's all over town, there were old ones, young ones, tall and small ones. Firelight had never been so close to a pony before, let alone a whole town. The young Kirin wanted to say hello, but before she could say a word she was surprised by a voice.

"Hi there!"

Firelight looked behind her in surprised as a blue and young pony suddenly jumped on her and pinned her to the ground. she shook her head and looked at the filly. She was vary young looking, had blue fur and other shades of blue in her mane. She had a blue star cutie mark.

"My name is Starlight!" the young filly exclaimed. "What's your name?"

"What?." Firelight asked nervously.

"Your name silly, you have one right?" Starlight said still on Firelight's stomach.

"F-Firelight." She said still a little scared.

"Firelight? That sounds a lot like my name" Starlight said with happiness in her voice.

"Yeah, it does" Firelight said less fearful now.

"You look amazing! What kind of pony are you?" Starlight asked.

Firelight looked at the pony in confusion, she had never heard someone call her amazing before, she never even talked to another pony. Her whole life she had been afraid of what other pony's might think of her, now this filly is saying she looks amazing. Firelight didn't understand what was happening.

"I'm a Kirin," Firelight said nervously, she only knew what she was from the books she had. Apparently the red mare was not the first of her kind, there has been other Kirin's in the world besides her, although she never meet one.

"A Kirin? what's that?" Starlight asked with amazement in her voice.

"It's a hybrid or fusion of a pony and a dragon." Firelight said bluntly.

"Wow that's awesome!" Starlight screamed with a ton of excitement.

"It is?" Asked Firelight.

"Ya! what can be cooler then a pony that's half dragon!?" Said Starlight vary loudly.

"Yeah, I guess," Firelight said less nervously. "Hey, can you please get of my stomach?"

"Oops," Starlight said as she hopped off of Firelight's stomach, blushing lightly.

Starlight got off Firelight so she could stand, when Firelight got up she looked down at the blue filly with the smile on her face, she was at least 5 feet taller then Starlight, who was barley close to Firelight's nee.

"So why did you paunch at me?" Firelight asked with a frown and left eyebrow raised.

"I wanted to ask you a question" Starlight said with a big wide smile.

Firelight stepped back looking more confused, mostly about the idea of this filly jumping on her just to ask a question.

"And that would be?" asked Firelight.

"Wanna come with me to the dragon parade" asked Starlight.

"The what?!," Firelight asked in shock.

A book with pages turn out is shown, Twilight Sparkle is seen siting on her bed holding the book with a frown on her face.

"Oh pony! the other pages are gone!" Twilight said angrily. "I wanted to read the rest of the story Princess Celestia got me!"

Suddenly the door to her room open, Twilight looked at it and saw her young dragon friend Spike coming in.

"Spike! I told you to knock before going in my room !" Twilight said with a frown. She closed the book and got of her bed, she then walked to her assistant.

"Sorry Twilight," Spike said with a embarrassed face " I came to see if you were ready to go to Canterlot to see the Princess."

"Oh, I almost forgot about that!, I was busy reading the story Princess Celestia got me the last time I was there." Twilight said as she put the book in her traveling bag and tied it around her. "Well, we better get going, don't want to keep her waiting."

Twilight and Spike started to walk out her room and down the hall to the front doors of Twilight's castle.

"So what was so interesting about that story anyway?" Spike asked.

"It's so fascinating, especially the main character Firelight!" said Twilight with a large smile on her face, just remembering it gave her Goosebumps.

"What's so interesting about her?" Spike asked looking suspicious and somewhat interested.

"Well she is a Kirin with fire magic." Twilight said with a smirk.

"Wait, a what?" Spike asked confused.

"I'll tell you about it later." Twilight told him as she prepared a teleportation spell. " First we need to go see Celestia and see what she wants, and maybe get the missing pages of the story."
