Prologue

Once every solar eclipse, the sun and moon drop a single droplet of there essence and bless two ponies with there powers. However, this night was different.

"Alright everypony, get ready for the eclipse." Says Celestia, walking through the crowd. Luna, not far from her.

"This is going to be a spectacular night." Says Twilight, as she stands with her friends.

"I'm so so so soooooo excited!!" Shrieks Pinkie Pie, bouncing up and down.

"Easy there big fella, last time you got this wound-up you got stuck up in a tree." Applejack says to Pinkie Pie. Pinkie stops bouncing and zips to Applejack.

"And that was soooo fun!" Pinkie yells.

"Ya, for you maybe. But it was a hassle for me and Big Mac." Replies Applejack, shaking her head.

"Come now you two, you mustn't fight." Says Rarity, wearing a sparkly dress.

The dress is white with purple stripes on the collar and sleeves. The dress covered her entire back legs and the sleeve went all the way down to her hooves. She also is wearing a tiara with a purple gem in the middle.

"Well look is gettin' all fine and dandy this evening." Says Applejack, looking over at Rarity.

"Well I must look presentable in front of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Rarity replies to Applejack, flicking her mane.

"This is going to be great!" Says Rainbowdash, hovering over everyone.

Twilight chuckles.

"Yes, this will be. It's one thing to see a solar eclipse, but on at night, this is going to be magnificent." Say Twilight, looking up at the sky, seeing the moon rising to its apex.

"I couldn't find any books in the library about this event, so this will be the perfect time for field research." Continues Twilight, using her horn to pull a book out of her satchel, and in front of her. She starts to jut things down in her journal.

"Sorry I'm late." Fluttershy says, walking to the group.

"Where in tarnation have you been?" Applejack asks Fluttershy.

"S-sorry, some of the animals wanted to see the eclipse happen." She says, looking at her back.

Fluttershy is carrying on her a bunny, 3 birds, and a cub bear. They all make a noise.

"Well look what Fluttershy brought to the party." Says Rainbowdash, looking down at the amimals.

"Sorry if it was an inconvenience for you all, they just REALLY wanted to see the eclipse up close like this." Fluttershy says.

"Its ok Fluttershy." Says Applejack, placing a hoove over her neck.

The crowd grows silent as Celestia approach the stand in front of them all.

"Thank you all for coming on this momentous occasion." She says, looking at the crowd.

"I can vouch for my sister that we are both glad for all of you that came." She continues.

Twilight is still writing in her journal on what is happening. Celestia looks at the crowd of ponies once more and says.

"Let the night's eclipse.....begin!"

Chapter 1: The Forest

I open my eyes and see trees surrounding me. Where am I, i ask myself. I get up slowly, but fail and land on my muzzle. I look behind me and see a pair of golden wings attached to my white back.

I stare at them, mesmerize.
As I look at them, I see behind the wings a golden tail and a mark on my right thigh that has a symbol of the sun and moon colliding with each other.

Tilting my head more to the side, I see my mane is a golden color too. I try to get up again, standing straight on my hooves. My legs shake as I try to stay up.

I begin to walk around the creepy forest, fear steadily consuming me. Leaves crunch after every step I make.

I hear something move in the forest. I cover myself with my wings, terrified. I call out to it.

"Who-who's there?" My voice trembles as I speak.

More movement comes from the forest. I back up slowly, hoping to get away without being notice. But as I am trying to flee, something emerges from the bushes.

I cover myself entirely with my wings and shut my eyes tight. I breath rapidly as the beast nears me. 'Please go away, please go away' I repeatedly think to myself. But as I am thinking to myself, I hear a voice through my feathery wings.

"Are you lost little one?"

The voice is deep, but reassuring. I let my guard down and look through my wings and see it's someone in a brown cloak.

"What brings you to the everfree forest, are you a tourist?" It says to me.

I uncover myself and look up at it.

"Um..." what do I say?

I look around wondering where I am.

"Where....am I?" I ask.

"Did you not hear, I made myself very clear." It replies. Is it just me or is this pony rhyming?

"Um...who are you?" I ask. That feels like a good question to ask, considering the situation right now.

"My name?" It ask me.

It stares at me and then uncovers itself and it turns out to be a mare.

"My name is Zecora."

Her body is white with black stripes as well as her mane and tail. She is also wearing rings around her neck, ears and front hooves.

"Before you go off and run, may I get your name little one." She asks me.

"My name." I say aloud.

I dont know my name, maybe I can just make on up.

"It is....a...az.....azurin, yeah Azurin." That name felt right.

She looks at me as if I am a foreign being.

"You are not from around here, at least not somewhere near." She says, walking up to me.

I dont know where I came from really.

"I....dont know." I look down at the ground as I say that.

She looks up to the forest, then turns around.

"My home is not far Azurin. Come with me and I'll let you in." She walks into the forest and I shortly follow.

----------------------***-----------------------

We continue to walk till we reach a little shack in a clearing. Is this her home, it seems.....cozy.

"This is where you live?" I ask her.

She turns her head to me.

"Yes, is there something wrong?"

"No, I was just curious. You live alone?"

"That I do, and I dont mind it too."

She walks to the front door and opens it, and already you can see the bedroom straight ahead. She also has masks and bottles hanging around in the main room.

I walk into the house and she closes the door behind us. She hangs up her cloak and say to me.

"Are you hungry? I can make some stew, if you want me to."

My stomach growls at the sound of stew.

"If it isn't to much to ask for." I tell her.

She smiles and goes past the cauldron in the center of the room and goes to a bookshelf and pulls out a book.

She lays it on a table and skims through it. She stops at a page and goes to the cauldron. She puts water into it and drops ingredients in as well.

"What kind of stew is it?" I ask politely.

"Carrot stew." She replies.

Carrot stew hu. I'm not going to complain about it, for I am so hungry.

--------------------***-------------------------

She takes a bowl and dips it into the cauldron. She then walks to me and puts it at my hooves.

"Eat up now,it is not poisoned this I vow." She says, and walks to the cauldron to make herself a bowl.

I look at the stew and the aroma hypothesizes me. It smells so good.

I lift up the bowl woth my hooves and take a sip of the broth. My eyes widen as I chug down the rest of the broth. It is like an avalanche of flavor.

I can hear Zecora snicker as I gulp down the stew.

"This is the first time you had food like this I presume." She asks me.

I look up at her, broth covers my mouth.

"This is the first time I had food." I say to her.

She looks at me with shock.

"Who are your parents, my I ask?" She ask me with a concerning tone.

"The sun and moon." I tell her.

Zecora's expression changes from shock and concern to confusion.

"What do you mean?"

I put down the bowl.

"I was born by the sun and moon." I say.

She continues to look at me when a yawn catches me by surprise.

"You are tired, you can sleep in my bed, so you can rest your head."

"Really?" I ask.

She nods her head then gets up and walks to the bed, I follow her.

I get into the bed and lay down. Zecora tucks me in and says.

"Sweet dreams little one, for you time today is done." She walks off and I look out the window, at the moon.

"Goodnight......mother."

Chapter 2: The Dreams

I slowly open my eyes and see nothing but black.

"Zecora, are you there?" I call out, but no answer.

I begin to cover myself with my wings.

"Is anyone there?"

Fear starts to crawl up my spine and into my head. Tears start to fall down my face as I cry in fear.

But as I am crying, a glowing orb shines in front of me. I look up at it, tears begin to stop coming down. I lift my hoove up to touch it, but before I could it shines brighter and shows me something.

It is a little pony with a red mane and tail prancing around a farm. I look closer at it, and when the pony went into the house the room is all wavy and loopy.

"Hey there Applebloom, welcome home." Says a pony floating in the air.

The small pony looks at the big, floating, pony and says.

"How'd you get up there Applejack?"

The floating pony replies to her.

"Just jump."

The little pony jumps and instantly starts floating.

"Woah." She says.

I dont know what is going on but...it is funny. Soon, more of the little orbs start popping up and I begin to press them. More and more of these little widows start showing up and each one is more bizarre than the last.

***

I continue to look at these strange things when out of the corner of my eye I see someone. I get low and look at it. It seems to be a pony of some kind, another female one too.

I inch closer to her, trying to not get noticed. But as I grew near her, she must have seen me because she stands up and turns to me.

Her eyes widen at the sight of me. I cover myself with my wings, blocking my sight from her.

"How...how did you get here?" She says.

I still cover myself with my wings. I peek through the feathers and see her looking at me through them too. I quickly block our view from each other. I hear a sigh and the she starts to say.

"I'm sorry if I scared you, let me start over." She coughs and continues.

"My name is Luna, Princess Luna to be exact. What is yours?"

I hide there in silence for a moment, then I tell her.

"Azurin, my name is Azurin." I look through the feathers and see her sitting down.

"That's a unique name." She says smiling.

I begin to move the wings away so she can see me fully. See examines me from where she is sitting and asks me.

"Are you from Ponyville?" I look at her with confusion.

"What....is that place?"I ask her.

"Well, it's the town next to Equestria." She tells me.

She looks to my side and asks me.

"Can you turn around for me, please." I look at her confused.

"O...k?" I say, turning around.

Her expression becomes speechless.

"That cutie mark, it's the same as-"

Suddenly everything starts to fade and I wake up in Zecora's bed. Was that all a dream?

Chapter 3: The Greeting

I 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."
