Paleblood Ponies

Chapter 1: Resonance With Another World

“Sweet Celestia, I am so tired, why did I put this off for so long?” Twilight moaned as she sat there, organizing the new books for her private library. “I had these delivered last week, did I really have that much to do?” She sat still for a while, angry at herself. She glanced over at the nearest window. She stared at the moon for a while, before noticing that the moon was not its normal shade of gray, rather, it was snow white. “Huh. That's… strange. I don't remember reading anything about a pure white moon. I'm sure there should be something about it in here somewhere. If not, I can always ask Luna about it.”

Twilight’s horn began to glow a brilliant purple as it sparked to life with magic. She began pulling every book that had anything to do with the moon off of the shelves. She started flipping through book after book, finding nothing about a pure white moon. “Damn it!” Twilight swore at the top of her lungs. Not being able to find out about this strange phenomenon happening outside her window was really starting to get on her nerves. She flung the book she was currently reading across the room, knocking over another stack. Twilight sighed as she got up to restock the books. As she did, she heard a strange sound. “What is that? A bell? Who could be ringing a bell this late into the night? I hope it's not another one of Luna’s practical jokes.”

As she approached the piles of books, one of them caught her eye. “What's this? A Hunter’s Guide to Surviving The Paleblood Moon… it's probably just a fiction book I bought a while ago.” Twilight began to flip through the pages. “What kind of weapons are effective on beasts, light armor or heavy armor, inhuman knowledge? This is ridiculous, even for a fictional book. Not even a foal would enjoy this.” She laughed. But what was written in the last chapter was what caught her eye. “How To Summon Other Hunters To Aid You? Hmmm… alright. You've got my attention. Alright let's see. Two bells, one will summon you to another Hunter’s world along with anyone else who rings the bell, a bell that summons Hunters from other worlds? This is ridiculous.” She rang one of the bells anyway, just for shits and giggles. Almost immediately, Twilight was surrounded by a bright white aura. She tried to run from it, but it stayed around her. And then everything went black.
