Night's eclipse
Chapter 3: The Greeting
Previous ChapterI look through the window and see it is morning.
'Was that a dream?' I thought to myself.
I got out of the bed and walk into the main room. I look around and see Zecora is gone, but a piece of paper is on the door. I walk to ot and it turns out to be a note. The note read.
'Dear Azurin,
I will be gone for a bit, you can stay at my home if you want it. I have gone to get some friends, so I will be gone for a while.'
Sincerely,
Zecora
I finish reading the note and wonder around the room. I look into the cauldron and see a bit of the carrot stew.
My stomach grumbled at the sight of it. I walk to where Zecora first got the bowls but ran into a problem, the cabinet is to high up.
I look around to see if I can use anything to get to the cabinet and I see a chair next to a desk.
I hastily push the chair as close as I can to the cabinet and jump on the chair.
I reach with my hoove to grab a bowl, but my legs begin to shake. I look down and see the chair flinging out from under me and I go toppling to the floor with a THUMP!
A few of the bowls start to come down towards me. I close my eyes and place my hooves over my head to protect myself from getting hit.
I hear the clatter of hooves coming to me.
"Are you alright little azurin?" Says a familiar voice.
I look up and see its Zecora wearing her cloak.
"Sorry." I say, get to my hooves.
"I was trying to get a bowl and get myself a bowl of stew." I smile at her nervously and awkwardly.
"You were not hurt my dear, for that I fear." She says to me.
I look at myself to check and see if i got hurt during the avalanche of bowls.
"I don't think so?" I tell her.
I see her smile under her hood, barely.
"I would like you to meet some ponys." She says.
"Can you please follow me, and I'll show you where they be." She continues.
I look around, seeing there isn't much else to do. I nod my head and follow her. We go outside and I am immediately greeted.
"Hello there!" Says a pink pony, literally to my face.
"My name is Pinkypie, what is yours!" She stares at me intensely.
I slowly back up as she stares, running behind Zecora. The pink pony tilts her head, confused.
"I'm sorry for his reaction, he isn't use to this kind of attention." Zecora says to the pony.
"That is ok Zecora." Says a voice.
Out from the woods came few more mares. A blue one, yellow one, orange one, a white one. And a purple mare.
The orange on looks around and spots me.
"So is this the fritter the pony you been talkin' about Zecora?" The orange one says.
Zecora takes off her hood and nods her head.
"Azurin, these are the friends I said on the note."
I look at them, walking out from behind Zecora. She smiles and starts to introduce them.
"The orange pony is named Applejack."
The orange one nods her head.
"Howdy there."
"The yellow one is called Fluttershy."
She looks down at the dirt.
"H-hey there." She whispers out.
"The white pony is Rarity."
She flicks her mane.
"Its a pleasure to meet you."
"The loud, pink one is Pinkiepie."
She runs in front of me, grabs my hand, and shakes my hoove quickly.
"Hi there new friend!"
She let's go of me and joins the other ponies.
"The blue pony is Rainbowdash."
She just hovers over the other ones.
"Hi."
"And the purple one is Twilight."
She walks up to me.
"Its great to meet you Azurin."
I smile at her.
"So you said he doesn't know where he lives?" Says Twilight, looking over at Zecora.
"He did not look familiar from anywhere near, I hoped you might know where he lived before he came here." Zecora replies.
Twilight looks at me again. She puts a hoove in front of her muzzle and looks towards the ground. She then looks up at Rainbowdash.
"Maybe he isn't from here."
Everyone looks at her confused.
"What do you me twi?" Asks Applejack.
"Maybe....he's from Cloudominium."
They all look in shock still. Twilight sighs and clears her throat.
"He isn't from ponyville or anywhere around there, so maybe he is from Cloudominium."
I look at everyone, seeing them slowly understand Twilight's thinking.
"Its worth asking if someone lost their foal." Twilight insists.
Everyone looks at each other and nod their heads in agreement.
"Alright then, let's go."
