How (some) Legends Start Pt. 1

3rd person Dylan's POV

"Uugh, why is it so boring today?" said a teenage boy just reaching into adulthood,"Well, at least we won't be getting any storms today, so that's a plus." he exclaimed to no one in particular. The boy who is saying all of this is named Dylan Rayson. Now, that may seem like an ordinary name, nothing to really think about, but Dylan's last name is actually a moral code that he wears. A Rayson will always protect their family, no matter how dangerous or how small it is, every Rayson sticks together and looks out for each other. And Dylan has lived by this golden rule his whole life and as such, nothing means more to him than family.

It all started on a surprisingly clear day, you couldn't even see a cloud in the sky for miles, even if you looked out into the horizon. It was also pretty hot at this time of day, which happened to be noon, but even though all of this usually meant for a good summer day, but for a certain teenager, it was just an ordinary, boring, and another, depressing, day for Dylan Rayson.

Dylan Rayson was a pretty average looking kind of kid, his hair was a bit messy, pretty spikey all around, and a dark brown, yet he managed to make it work without it making him look like he had a greasy mop on his head. His eyes were a deep royal blue, at first glance both of his eyes looked to be the same shade of blue, except one was just a shade lighter than the other, making it a cosmic blue, but it was hardly noticeable unless you looked deep into his eyes.

Dylan smoothed a few wrinkles out of his powder-blue denim shirt. His Brewster Wingtips whipped in the wind like a flag. He stretched his body getting a few pops, now fully stretched he stood at a height of 5"9" and has a decent athletic build, though he doesn't like to be very intimidating, in fact he's actually pretty shy, but because of his stature he wasn't picked on, much. He also had a little bit of a scruff growing on his chin, but other than that his face was like a baby's booty.

He wasn't what you would call the 'liveliest' person, and no one knew why, he actually used to be extremely social and energetic, but for awhile now he's just been pushing everyone away as he kept sinking inside of some form of depression; and as a Rayson, you'd think that he'd liven up a bit more. And from a few years up to now he keeps distancing himself from everyone, refusing to accept help from anyone other than himself and his sketches, but he's still got his father's old denim shirt that he keeps with him. He lives in Michigan, Muskegon, right on the coast of Lake Michigan, it was very nice to wake up every morning to the sound of waves crashing into the shore, but he just thought it was bothering his precious sleep time.

Today wasn't anything special for Dylan as he drove in his Chevy Suburban, it was the more recent model car and it was colored a midnight black. He really enjoyed driving it because it was just so comfortable for him. The reason he's driving right now is because he doesn't see the need to wait until you're 18 to get your driver's licence when you already know everything there is to know about driving.

But the real reason he's driving is so he can clear his head before he heads over to the graveyard, the reason he's going to that kind of place is not for the reason you'd think, he goes there to reflect and ponder on what exactly happened to them, his dad has been missing for years, his aunts and uncles are god knows where, and his mother, did not exactly go in the happiest of circumstances.

"Might as well see what everyone's up to at the beach," Dylan said as he looked out of his side window and just stared at the beach leading to the lake and gazed upon how vast the lake was that you couldn't even see past the horizon, but he was used to this sight after staring at it for his whole life. As he gazed he couldn't help but remember back to when his parents would bring him here when he was a child, and all of the fun he used to have here as a kid, he would just go to the highest hill and play king of the hill with the other kids, even though at the time he was the smallest of the bunch, he was by far the most energetic. He felt a small hint of a smile play across his lips as he just stared blankly at the scene."Heh, I miss those times, even if I was a bit clumsy." he said as he was reminiscing of the old times, when his family was still with him.

After a few more minutes he finally refocused his attention to the road, but the sight greeted him was, "W-What the hell is that!? I don't remember taking acid before I left, or EVER in that manner!?" said Dylan in a panicked state as he stared at a literal rainbow colored vortex coming straight towards him, as he was just starting to panic, as well as shift the gear in reverse, he failed to notice his car was being pulled and lifted into the most bizarre looking tornado, and when he did take notice, he was already at the point where the only thing he could do was, "SSSHHHHIIIIII-"*THUNK* was the last word he said, before he felt a stabbing pain in the back of his head, and as the world around him was getting increasingly harder to make out from the blurriness, the last thing he thought before he entered the void of while sitting in his car currently being sucked inside if the fantasy colored twister, 'Well at least when I hit the ground, I'll be with my family again....' was the last thing he thought with a smile on his face.

Five minutes earlier, Equestria, Ponyville...

3rd person Twilight Sparkle POV

As Twilight Sparkle was making sure everything was ready for the Summer Sun Celebration, she couldn't help but feel worried that something bad will happen, despite the princesses letter telling her to calm down and that she was just overreacting, but still with the aligned stars and the Mare in the Moon, she just knew that something bad was going to happen, and it was going to happen soon.

Twilight Sparkle is a very, enthusiastic pony, she's obsessed with reading and researching, and that's just saying it lightly. Her mane was a deep bluish magenta, with two highlights newt to each other one is hot pink, and the other is a regular purple, same as her tail. Her fur is a light purple giving her an almost elegant look, almost. Her eyes were a deep royal shade of purple, heck almost everything about her you could almost summarize her as simply purple. She was wearing a simple dark blue turtleneck blouse along with a white skirt that goes down to her lower thighs.

But the thing that sticks out the most was a horn that was the same color as her fur protruding from her forehead. She stands at an average height of about 5"6", not much to say about that unless you want the dirty jokes. Her breast size was a C-cup that fit her perfectly and her slightly petite frame. She didn't have shoes because why would someone with hooves need shoes, and yes like every'pony' else, instead of feet she had hooves, but she still had hands that resembled a humans. Overall, she was a very beautiful girl, she even looks like she's just reached 19, but she am in fact 22 years old.

1st person Twilight's POV

"I just hope that the princess was right about today", I said in a sigh of frustration and worry to no one in particular. as I kept walking I got a different kind of feeling, the kind of feeling one gets when they are expecting something to suddenly pop up, 'that's just plain ridiculous!' I thought to myself, 'It's not like a tornado is going to appear out of nowhere and-'

As I think this a huge rainbow colored vortex seemed to suddenly appear from nothing, and after a few moments it started to fade away to reveal a weird looking black rectangular box with a protrusion coming from what I assumed was the front, and had 4 black circle things surrounding what seemed to be small silver wheels. "Well, I guess you can't be right about everything..." I said as I began to look through the looking glass on the mysterious object.

But what I saw inside was not what I was expecting, it was some kind of creature, that looked a lot like a pony except for its small muzzle and its lack of fur, wings, tail, or horn, wearing some kind of weird looking jeans shirt, along with what appeared to be midnight blue dress pant, but I couldn't be sure as I couldn't see above the strange barrier keeping it inside, sitting behind another weird circle looking thing, but then I started to get worried when I saw what looked to be blood coming from the back of his head,"Oh my Celestia!" I said in an extremely worried manner for whatever this strange looking creature was, and as I was about to panic for this creature I saw what looked to be a lever mechanism, so I assumed that it was used to open this strange looking box, and thankfully, I was right and right as the door opened as I pulled on the lever, "Hey are you alright?!" was what I said as I was about to help the creature out and carry him to the hospital, before suddenly it stirred.

1st person Dylan's POV

As I willed myself to open my eyes, they felt like they weighed a ton and a half, so I could see what was happening around me, only to notice that the wind currents are gone and so too is that tornado, 'Must have survived the fall, but I think I may have a serious concussion' I thought as I was finally able to open my eyes and see where I was even if it was extremely hazy and blurry, as I looked around my attention shifted to one thing in particular, 'Ok, now I know I'm high" I thought as I stared at a literal purple horse wearing a turtleneck and had a FREAKING HORN on its head. But the strange thing was is that it looked a lot like me, minus the muzzle, the ears, and the horn. But what attracted my attention the most weren't any of those it, in fact it was her eyes, yes 'her' I didn't just look at her face you know, and when I looked into her eyes, all I could say was, "Gorgeous." And with that I blacked out into the dark void where I just was.
