Prologue: My Frustrating Family

It is currently around nine thirty p.m on July third, the very night before Elizabeth turned twelve years old. Usually young girls like her would enthusiastically celebrate hitting a year before becoming a teen by age. This was not the case when you are apart of the well known Lystor family. A family that was known for its astonishing musical talents, which was a distinguished side of this historical family. The lessor part of the family was made up of multiple historians which was not limited to just the United States.

In addition there were a few anthropologists who collaborated quite often to confirm details. Currently the youngest member of the family, Elizabeth, was a part of both sides of the family
She knew how to play various instruments from a violin to a french horn to the classic piano quite rare for most could only play at least two.

She was also well known for her knowledge on historical events, which meant Elizabeth knew all her family members were going to put pressure on the poor girl. She absolutely dreaded what they thought were subtle efforts to sway her decision to which ever side that family member had chosen years ago on their twelfth birthday. The Lystor household had a custom that any family member had to decide one of the sides to take apart of once they turned the age of twelve.

There was much pressure on the young girl who was getting very annoyed over the years of constant bickering between her aunts, and uncles. One of the few freedoms her parents allowed her was being allowed to watch television shows such as My Little Pony the fourth generation. Elizabeth adored how the ponies were capable of such amazing things, especially their special talents. Which each showed what they were best at did not mean the pony was stuck with permanently, a situation that was polar opposite to her own.

Elizabeth was constantly pacing in her bedroom which was slightly cramped due to it being converted from an old storage closet that was located in the center of the structure. She hated how soon she would be inevitably forced to choose a side of her family. She was quite close in talent to both sides being taught quiet extensively for the past seven years took a mental toll on her.

Elizabeth thought 'Why do I have to choose a single side? It is unfair to either side, I let down one side of my family with each decision.' She sighed as the ceiling fan spun slowly, soon she was going to turn twelfth tomorrow there was nothing she could do about the situation. Elizabeth wished that her family was not as strict, maybe she could of had a somewhat normal childhood then she could have actually enjoyed it instead of having to grow up to fast.

This fact was constantly present when ever any member of her family was around always so wound up about maintaining your decorum even while you were still inside the household. Her brother Everest was usually held up in his room on the top floor of the household he had been in there even more than usual.

The only freedom was going to be given up, due to having to completely devote your time to that profession completely. She turned her computer to watch the season 3 finale of My Little Pony one of her favorite episodes out of the series. Elizabeth loved how after Twilight gained her wings, who did not become a Mary sue afterwards, Twilight struggled to learn how to fly properly.

As she typed the title of the episode, something rather odd happened a different episode pulled up in the search results one that she did not recognize. Ever since the first season she had memerized each episode that came out as a way to help her memory get better during music practice. It had no description aside from a title that read My Little Pony escape to Equestria.

She was about to investigate the peculiar episode when she heard her eldest cousin call her for dinner from the lower floor it echoed through the hallway. Elizabeth turned off the computer monitor making sure that it was still on so the mysterious episode did not get lost among the rest. Then she proceeded to head to the main dinning room reluctant because of the conversations that would in sue they were always talking.

It was right at the end of dinner when each side of the family started to argue about why I should choose that side. The musical side remarked on how she was able to perfectly play so many instruments already so Elizabeth should not waste the effort. Along with the time she put into that area of the family's musical experience that including a few shows demonstrating the violin.

The history, and anthropology side brought up how good her memory was which definitely was an effective trait to have when learning many diverse parts of the past. They kept on arguing about how they were better than the other counterpart which began to give her a severe headache. Thanks to the constant pushing that unhealthy rage began forming two years ago, it became difficult to control it in situations like this.That rage almost came out as she whistled to get everyone's attention directed toward her.

Elizabeth said "Listen everyone, due keep in mind that my birthday is not today so I still have tonight to ponder over my decision which is quite difficult enough. While I do appreciate each side explaining their points, if you all could cease until after I have made my decision tomorrow that would be greatly appreciated." She finished eating asking to be excused, then made her way quickly to the nearby kitchen. Elizabeth cleaned her plate off in the kitchen sink while some of her cousins shortly came after her.

Angel (Musical) says "Well she is definitely going to chose the music side, after all Eliza is one of the best at playing the violin which not many in our family can due. There is no way that she will waste that kind of talent to sit inside reading books."

Mary (History) said "No way she is gonna settle for boring old music. At least when learning history you have a lot of diversity. Of course when we work with Anthropologist like my brother we learn more together through our collaboration."

She ignored them as she finished washing the silverware it happened quite often they would not notice her as they went into conversation. Elizabeth made her way to her room wanting to avoid her cousins squabbles about her important decision, she could not take anymore tonight her head was throbbing. She was reluctant to decide it would lead to the other side yelling at her due to wasting so many talents.

As she went through the halls, she took a quick glace at the photographs lining the walls that showed many of her cousins showing off their talents. Out of all the pictures, there was only one Elizabeth would stop to look at each time she passed it the one person who defied the family so extremely. That certain picture showed one of the only family members to ever break the tradition of choosing either side.

The unique picture is of Elizabeth's great great grandmother who she was named after a fact that surprised her family when she was just a baby. The few reasons why her great great grandmother was held with respect is that her retaliation helped the Lystor family to deal with financial issues. Essentially saving the family name, and reputation something that had been threatened by a large debt from a robbery that insurance did not pay for.

Great Great Grandmother Elizabeth became an accountant, to which she had an extensible knowledge on financial waivers. She had just gotten a degree when the robbery to place so all the things learned in school were still fresh inside of her mind. It was unfortunate that she died in a fire at the original large Lystor household, that she successfully defended while clearing the debt.

By knowing about who she was named after helped her to push through all the tedious effort she needed to put in to the various activities. Once Elizabeth was finished reminiscing about her great great grandmother she went to her room that person's efforts helped to invigorate her after a full twelve hours of lessons. She turned on the computer moniter back to the strange episode search result that popped up earlier.

Elizabeth decided to follow this strange episode it could be a scraped episode that explained where Spike came from so she clicked on the link. When the site loaded up on the computer monitor something rather odd happened after a few seconds of loading the video. There was a extremely bright light coming from her computer screen so she shielded her eyes confused by the strange occurence going so far to close her eyes.

It took what felt like at least five minutes for the light to die down, but once it did Elizabeth felt incredible pain all over her entire body from her .... hooves! She noticed that she was now in a very immense forest with quite wild looking botany species which made the situation even more confusing. Elizabeth did her best to walk toward a nearby lake while she had an ominous feeling, how did she end up in a place like this she was inside her room.

The fealing was that this forest was quite familiar yet she did not know why she felt that Elizabeth had always lived in a city never visuting nature. The small lake was located near what she believed to be the entrance to the familiar yet new forest that she had some how entered from her room. Once she looked at her reflection she saw a red color which meant that she was nothuman any more no human had red skin like this.

Elizabeth stepped back from the water three feet this barely made any sense what the heck moved her to this forest. In that momentsomething rather unsettling clicked about why this forest seemed eerily familiar it was one she jad seen at least a million times. Elizabeth was in the Everfree Forest from the show My Little Pony which could not be true that was a fictional world.

Elizabeth stepped back from the lake, although she only saw that her... coat... was red, she attempted to reach the entrance she saw earlier on her small walk. Once she took a few steps, she was still getting used to walking on all fours she made her way to Everfree's old worn down path. After she stepped hoof on the path her new body was wracked with immeasurable pain it came suddenly like a rushing train.

Elizabeth felt the pain each time she was going to take a step, the pain grew so much that she collapsed on the old dirt path way. Her body began feeling numb in an instance just as the pain had started it vanished that fast she could not keep her eyes open long. Before Elizabeth sunk into a state of unconsciousness she saw seven multicolored figures above her their colors looked oddly familiar.
