Chapter 1 Gabrielle of the Forest
It was a normal day in the Zebra Village. A young zebra looked out her window. "Mom, why don't we go into the forest." Asked the young zebra. Her mom sighed.
"Gabrielle, you know us zebras stay away from the forest." Answered the zebra's mom. Gabrielle sighed.
"Why can't we mom. Zebras are the ones who make sure the magic of the princess' castle doesn't run out. So why can't we take on an old forest?" Asked Gabrielle. Her mom snapped.
"Because we stay away from the ponies!" Her mom screamed. Gabrielle ran into her room crying. She slapped her face into the pillow. She looked out a window once more. Then Gabrielle decided to do something about it. She packed her saddle bag and waited for her mom to fall asleep. Then she ran out to go to the forest.
Gabrielle looked back at the village from which she came. "Did I do something wrong." She thought in her head. Then there was a young wolf cub that she had spotted. She ran toward the young cub. The cub was stuck in Forever Sap, which made the young zebra worried. As she tried to help the young cub it growled. Surprised the young zebra got out some of her ingredients to make potions and stirred up a brew. The young wolf whimpered and held up her paw. "Oh you poor thing." Said Gabrielle. She put the brew in a bowl. Then a branch fell into the bowl. She gave the brew to the pup and then a flash of light appeared. The wolf had turned into a branch wolf. The growl was much larger and Gabrielle ran into an old tree.
"Gabrielle my sister you are here. For all must not be near." Said a voice.
"Sis?" Asked Gabrielle.
