Chapter 1 (Past): The 57th

18 years ago: Right below foal mountain

"Pant...Pant...Pant..." The old Pegasus mare breathing heavily as she tried to run away from her three pursuers, she couldn't fly away as her wings were broken. The old mare wore a dirty white jacket, with torn jeans. Even though the mare ran, It didn't really matter even if she tried to run; she knew eventually they would catch her.

The three pursuers appeared to be young teens, they wore the same thing, black cloaks with pants that of the colour silver. Their cloaks bore the same symbol; the symbol of a white sun with a silver hand inside of it.

The only thing that was different from those three was their mask; each of their masks was all white, but with different animal figures into them, one mask bore the symbol of a caribou, one with the symbol of goat, the other was a symbol of the ram

"We're almost close to capturing her," -said the pursuers who that sounded almost female, she wore the symbol of the caribou,

in a serious tone she continued saying," and we do capture her...we'll eliminate her, those were our orders".

The two pursuers gave a nod as a response.

What the pursuers didn't know, is that the Pegasus mare is a mother carrying a small foal, A small foal that she had hidden under her selves with a small Light blue blanket.


The mare stopped running, her hooves gave out from exhaustion, she knew that her time was about to come. But, she didn't want the small foal to share the same fate as she was about to.

She tried to quickly search for a way for a way to have her foal escape safely. Not having a lot of option, she began to show signs of worry.

"come on come on, there as to be some sort of way to secure my little foal's escape" she quickly shifted her head left and right as she was saying that.

Eventually, she realized that there was a river in front of her. An idea popped into her head, she just needed the materials to do so.

She tries to use the energy that she has left to find the materials as quickly as possible.


As the mare tried to search for the materials, her pursuers were close to gaining up on her. One of the pursuers that seemed to be a stallion with a light germane accent wearing the mask of the ram, gave out a question to the female pursuer, "Remind me again, why are we ordered to kill this mare again?"

-he shrugged, "I mean when the higher-ups told as to kill her and her family I thought that they posted a threat, but they weren't a threat at all, they were so-" he looked at the female pursuer"weak".

The mare didn't look at his direction, but she responded to his question, "It isn't our place to question those above us, we do what we are told to do".

Her voice then became serious" however, the higher-ups were afraid of that family...or something that was connected to that family".

The germane stallion raised his eyebrow in response to what she said

But before he could say anything, the other pursuer that was griffon he wore the symbol of the goat, with a masculine voice yelled out "we are nearing to her location, estimation 700 meters away".


The mare used the materials that she had found to make a floatable crib made out of wood. "It's not comfy,'-she looked at her foal "but it would at least keep my foal safe from the currents".

she walked to her foal that she had placed nearby and picked the foal up. The little foal's skin was a purple-orange colour, and its mane was light red with the tint of white in the end.

she then walked back towards to crib, and ever she gently she placed her in the crib.

She removed her jacket and tossed it to the side, the mares skin was light red, with a mane that is white, and a cutie mark that looked like a survival Manuel book.

she got on her knees, and pulled out a Bostaff that was under her selves,

the Bostaff that was on both her hands looked light blue with one end being a rouge colour the other end being light green, "This bostaff is something that will keep you and those you care about safe".

She looked at her foal that apparently looking at her back, the mare knew her foal couldn't understand her, "The bostaff hold quite strong magic as well, I wanted to teach you how to use it when you grew older"

She lowers her head in sadness "sadly, it would seem that it won't come to that".

She pushed both ends of the Bostaff to shorten it and placed it in the crib next to the foal. She reached for her pocket and pulled out a music box, she looked at the music box and said "This music box was something that was given to me by my great grand mare before she passed away from old age, she told me that this will help you when you are down"

she looked at her foal and gave a small smile," and it did help me out when I was down, I hope that this music box will help you out when are down as well."

she placed the music box in the crib. Around her neck, she had these goggles that she pulled off; and gave to her foal," These goggles aren't anything special just something that given to me by somepony" she closes her eyes," that pony is a friend of mine, I want you to have them", she put the goggles right beside the foal.

The mare finished on what she needed to do, she picked up the crib and placed it in the river; but, she couldn't let go of the crib.

Tears began to leak from her eyes, with one arm was holding the crib, the other hand grabbed the foal," my sweet little pony, I know that you going to do amazing things in this world-"

more tears began to form, "and I know that you can find other ponies to call family".

She brought her foal close to her chest said "I love you" she placed the foal in the crib, and she gently pushed the crib down the stream current,

she looked to the sky "hope that somepony can raise her", she sat on the ground looking towards the river waiting for her time to come.


The three pursuers got up with the mare, and even they arrived they saw her looking towards the river. Without looking back the mare said, "If you three are going to kill me, can I at least get your names?-"

she tilted her head back, "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours".

The female pursuer felt that something was off like something was missing in this scenario, but she couldn't figure out what.

"What are we doing, lets just off her off already," said the germane pony being impatient, to the mare's pursuer irritation she told the germane stallion that it won't take long to tell their names.

The mare pursuer moved closer "I am unicorn mare whose name is Everest Woodworks",

-She looks to her left "The annoying Germane stallion Pegasus-"

"HEY"-

"his name is Ahren Cobble,"

she then looked to her right, but before she could say anything the griffin said "My name is Iron wings",

Nothing more was said from Iron.

Everest then looked back at the mare who was still looking at the river and said: "we three work for a very powerful secret organization called the Ne-"

"The Nexus", she looked back and saw three shocked expressions.

"How do you know," Everest asked this in a serious tone.

The mare looked straight towards Everest gaze and said "my lineage have fought with the nexus for many generations, a going battle to prevent from what they are planning", the mare harden her gaze towards Everest "The nexus we're afraid of us for the type of powerful weapon that we hold".

Ahren gave a small chuckle "What powerful weapon, we killed your whole family and they didn't put up a fight"

The mare looked at Ahren, frowned and said, "no one in my family except for me is connected to the lineage, and as for the weapon"

-she looks at her hands, "I no longer wield the power to use it, I guess that the nexus got wind of this and used it as an opportunity to kill me".

Everest sheathed her daggers and started to walk towards the mare, as she got close enough to her Everest raise her daggers.

But before she could the mare said, "There will be a time when the Nexus will meet its end, I know that it won't be me to end them"

-she breathes, her eyes look towards the river, and lowers her head, "but there will be somepony who will, My name"

-she closes her eyes," is Borealis, 56th's generation of my family lineage.

Everest pulled her arm back "you are now the 56th's and the last of your kind",

The daggers struck towards Borealis back, killing of the 56th's generation.

However, what those three nor the nexus didn't know is that the 57th generation came to this world.


There were a middle-aged couple that was having a loving picnic down by the river close to their cottage, the old couple were having a nice day eating the homemade food that the wife had made.

"I think you packed too much food", -said the earth stallion with a heavy chuckle, he was wearing a yellow t-shirt with brown khaki shorts,his skin colour is light brown with a hazelnut coloured mane; he even had a moustache as a facial feature, he had a cutie mark of a Hatchet striking a tree.

"I might end up getting fat"

The Mare was wearing a light yellow dress with a medium size skirt, her skin colour is light green with a mane that was dark orange, she has a cutie that has a cooking recipe book with a heart in the middle.

she gave out a deadpan look at her husband and said, "Cedar, I'm not forcing to eat my food".

Cedar looked at her and responded, "Well Lily, it's your fault for making the best food."

Lily gave out a loving giggle.

When the two couples were enjoying themselves, Lily could hear a faint cry from nearby. she turned her head, "Do you hear that?".H

Her husband gave a confused look and said, "hear what?

"It almost sounds like...crying", the crying got louder.

"OK, I defiantly heard that", said cedar with a surprised look, he looked around, "Where it is even coming from".

Lily got up and started to run towards the river, "I think it's coming from the river",

"WAIT!".


When Lily got closer to the river the crying got louder, she looked to her left...nothing, then to her right...she saw something that was almost a crib made of wood. She walked up to yet, right before her was a small foal, she Gasped in shock.

Cedar eventually got up to her"Huff...Huff...Huff", -we looked to his wife who had seemed to be carrying a foal, "Why...are you carrying a foal?"

He pointed at the foal, "better yet where did the foal come from?".

Lily carried the foal in a cradle position, "The foal is apparently a filly, and-" she looks at cedar "I don't know where she came from, I found in that crib next to me which was stuck between two rocks in the river".

Cedar widens eyes, "Wait, why was there a small filly floating down the river".

He got no response from because Lily didn't know either.

"We can't leave this filly alone, she could die out here" Lily looked at her husband with a desperate look.

Cedar scratched his moustache, "So, I suppose you want us to raise her".

Lily nod in response.

Cedar smiled at his wife, "Alright then let's raise her".

"By the way-" Cedar began to ask, "does she even have a name?".

Lily looked at her husband and said: "There is a blanket that keeps if the crib, on it has a name".

"What name?" Cedar asked her wife.

she looked at him and replied, "The name that was on this blanket was Aurora F., that was the name that was on this blanket".

Lily looked at her husband, "I have good reason to believe that Aurora F. is her name".

Cedar looked at the little filly and asked, "What does the F. suppose to stand for?".

Lily looked at back at Aurora and said," I think the F. is supposed to be her last name, why its shorten to one Letter is completely unknown to me."

Both couples realized that Aurora fell asleep, "Come on Cedar, let's take her to our cottage so that she can have a place to rest."

Lily walked past her husband, and he followed right behind her.


Author's Note

This is my first time writing a story on this website, so would be glad if I could receive feedback on the comment section on how to my writing.

I'll be doing "past" chapters and "present" chapters, I'll focus mostly on the "Present" chapters at most, but I'll shift back to "Past" chapters at most.
"Past" chapters will be how she meets her brother/friend Dylan the chipmunk, her early life with her adopted parents Cedar and Lily, how Aurora got her cutie mark, who trained her to fight hand-to-hand combat, as well as fighting with her BoStaff (Aurora never unlocked the magical abilities of the BoStaff in the past), how she became a freelancer, and how she ended up living in the Crystal Empire.

"Present" Chapters will technically happen in the current time.
