Destiny Finders the beginning
Chapter 5 EarthCloud and ThunderCloud
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThunder flew over the sleeping town of PonyVille in his hooves was tired carrying the box of muffins the unicorn names StarDust out of kindness not to tell the guards. His sister was right where he left her hidden under a single mares one story house. Everyday the mare would leave her house unlocked letting the twins slip inside, to not give themselves away they slept in the living room and ate whatever scraps was available on the table either way the twins slept under the porch, It seems that tonight the mare did not show up, Earth Cloud was well inside with the living room one window and one lamp on.
''Thunder your back.'' cried his sister Thunder put the box on the coffee table. ''Did you bring back anything?'' Earth cloud smelled the box opening its lid with her muzzle.
''Muffins.'' she said taking a bite out of a muffin in the box.
''A unicorn gave that too me.'' Thunder said. EarthCloud ate away the muffins Thunder wasn't in the mood to eat.
''A unicorn, *Gasp* was it a guard?'' EarthCloud asked unfolding her wings.
''Not a guard, Earth cloud, she was a unicorn. Thunder replied looking out the window. ''She, gave me the box because i told her about you, she too had a twin brother tackled me after i stool their foalsitters saddlebag.
''Gave you it? what is she's a spy like the last one.'' EarthCloud said hiding under the table.
''She's not like the other ones EarthCloud, she had a pure heart i can tell, she and her brother did. I sensed something was wrong. A sibling was missing that's why she let me go.'' Thunder recalled.
''Twins like us cool can we meet them.'' earth cloud asked sitting on her favorite chair in the living room.
''Not sure, the brother looked defensive to me.'' Thunder said, ''That Pegasus tackled me good a little slow but he definitely been fighting in the past tackling me in one roll using all his weight to stop me from running.''
''What does he look like~not that i'm interested in him.''
''Dark blue, light blue and black striped mane, turquoise eyes.'' Thunder sighed ''Be my guest he, tackled me in the grass.''
''Okay bye.'' without thinking EarthCloud squeezed out the window.
''EarthCloud get back here.'' Thunder grunted ''What is she thinking she's gonna get us caught. he said frantically flying out. What the ponies of PonyVille didn't know he and his sister, were not from this dimension. Coming from a planet known as Panora. Their planet was being attacked by a mysterious darkness their parents send them into Equestria for protection but the portal closed locking them in. Their existence unknown to PonyVille, Thunder and Earth Cloud were captured by a band of poachers who planned to sell them. In their original form they had four hooves in the front. The males resembled a dragon fly while the female resembled a butterfly nighttime was the worst for them with no pupils for eyes, glowing like a firefly, long antennas curving at the end. The glowing was a crystallized form a good price for any pony who got their hooves on them. No pony was to be trusted.
EarthCloud fluttered her big butterfly wings in the moon light, crystallized sparkles few behind her. ''Which house is it Thunder?''
''A weird two story house. Earth Cloud can we go back.''coaxed Thunder.
''Weird two story house.'' she said. ''There it is.''
''Earth Cloud no pony spies on another pony sleeping.'' Thunder warned. ''He wakes up i'm screwed.''
''Thunder its not spying if you make noise. Just a little peak won't hurt.'' his sister said ignorantly she peaked into one of the rooms her glowing light reflected on the window.
''Is that him?'' she said, i took a look the room was tightly cleaned. ''Dark blue mane, light blue horn.'' Thunder thrust EarthCloud to the other window.
''That's the sister do not look in there, uh you want the brother over there.'' he said his cheeks felt hot looking in the window of the pony who was generous to give him food to feed his sister.
''Hi there.'' EarthCloud said waving her hoof from the outside. Thunder heard a slight shout pulling his sister away from the window to have a look for himself. Inside this room was was a horrible mess, in the air was a hammock, on the floor was the dark blue Pegasus who attacked him that afternoon shaking with his blanket half way on his body.
''Is he afraid of us?'' questioned his sister the cult tripped on his blanket getting to the window. Opening it ThunderCloud stopped glowing to give the pegasus a recognizable face. ''Remember me.''
''You.'' he said. EarthCloud got in between him and the angry cult his face telling he was still mad his sister let me get away. ''Thunder Cloud.''
''You tackled my brother now say sorry.'' she said. with a blank face the cult glared his eyes to Thunder not even blinking''He really wants to fight me i told my older i was screwed.'' Earth Cloud shoved her butterfly wings and herself in the window pulling him out his own room. The Pegasus fell a little way down but flapped his large wings backwards and forwards to fly upright.
''Sorry for tackling you.'' he snorted. EarthCloud grabbed the cults face she eyed his curiously. ''Your just like Thunder told me you'd look like, your sister was very nice to my brother by the way." she said flying in a motion less circle.
Yeah she's nice, on the inside, uh i hadn't got a chance to introduce myself, uh my name is Night Star my sister is asleep, you do not want and i repeat do not wake her up.'' Night Star said blocking Star Dust's window.
''This room is a mess so you even clean your room Night star.'' said her brother walking over a moldy sandwich. ''My room never looked this messy.'' he scoffed.
''Aye my room, my rules.'' NightStar said moving things around for a suitable sitting space the smell in the room was mile Earth Cloud sat beside her brother as Night Star left the room a clock ticked away on a night stand.
''I'm back, and i brought food.'' he said giving EarthCloud a tray of unknown sweets, colorful wrapped up candy, none that Thunder had brought last winter. ''Go on pick one.'' he said unwrapping a green wrapped candy, EarthCloud moved her hoof over to a blue piece of the candy because the candy was blue on the inside it matched her mane. Her brother grabbed a piece a candy with purple wrapping.
''These candies arent like the ones we eat back home.'' Thunder said chewing his candy, his coat flickered yellow.
''Whoa whats with the uh, glowing?'' asked Night Star reaching for another piece.
''We change color depending on how we feel.'' she demonstrating by smiling EarthClouds coat changed to a bright yellow. ''That was happiness.''
''Candy on our planet makes us change color.'' added Thunder.
''Oh you two are, aliens?'' he said Thunder flashed red.'' I say something wrong.''
''We'd prefer if you call us galactic beings alien is a wrong word of choice.'' EarthCloud corrected.
''My bad so why are you two here?'' Night Star asked.
''We come from another universe called Panora. Our dimension was in danger for protection out parents sent us through a portal. It never opened after that.'' Earth Cloud said lowering her ears.
''A band of poachers captured us. You see this glowing form Night Star, were crystallized at night we fled to PonyVille to hide from them. Our hiding spot a one story house owned by a yellow and orange mare.'' ThunderCloud explained to him.
''Orange and yellow~ Carrot Top! your hiding under my foalsitters house!.'' he said Earth Cloud put down her piece of candy glowing white and black. All these rules for a big house with fewer ponies back home such rules were way stricken, if one broke into another ponies home the pony who did it would spend a day in the scorching sun with no water any pony who chooses to help will suffer the same punishments.
''Any more rules we need to follow before we leave Earth Cloud can we please go back.'' pleaded Thunder.
''Wait hold on, uh you haven't seen the rest of the house yet.'' said NightStar. EarthCloud beamed bright yellow happy he stalled for her. ''Be very quiet, my younger sister brought a dragon home don't make a sound.'' he said sadly she and Thunder hovered in the air making Night Star look foolish. ''Never mind.''
The interior of his room was divided by three other rooms, a tree grew on the inside reaching up to a wide glass dome that circled the entirety of the rooms.
''I knew it. EarthCloud i knew something was wrong. A little sister? StarDust didn't snitch on be just because i had a twin, it was because she feared for her sisters life.'' Thunder whispered to her hovering down their living room.
"Wow your house is ~ big.'' ThunderCloud said hovering over the furniture. ''Bigger than your foalsitters.''
''Don't judge her guys, her job doesn't pay her enough to let her get a bigger house.'' Night Star said raising an eyebrow.
''Where is she now.'' said Thunder.
''In the guess room sleep, she was attacked by something in the EverFree she described as a big black thing with red eyes.'' Night Star said Earth cloud casts white, her brother knew exactly what the the Pegasus was describing.
''Thunder the portal~.''
''No it was closed shut!'' he said flashing red, white, white, black. (We need to leave now! the portal may be open but it means the end of this dimension.)
''Portal?'' NightStar asked EarthCloud not time to chat Thunder dashed back up the stairs.
''Night Star, it was nice for letting us into your home, i'm afraid me and my brother need to go, its an emergency.'' she said nudging his cheek leaving a trail of light green sparkles leading up the stairs..
