Note Before Reading
I have gone back and edited chapter one, rereading it is not required but it dose now end after falling though the portal and this chapter picks up from there and rewrites what was previously in the first chapter

Waking Up

The High Mage Adviser to the King and Queen of the Unicorn Empire sat in his study writing a new spell. Ink Blood had began to look into a recently discovered form of magic. This new magic was dark as the heart of a ne'er do well, and coruptive to boot. As such it was swiftly band from use out side of special circumstances, such as making a spell to find and identify it in a hundred mile radius.

Ink was putting the final touches on the spell when he felt a disturbance that caused him to drop his Pegasus writing quill. He swiftly shook him self out of his shock and ran to his window to see a star falling from the sky. Within a minuet it had crashed to the ground and if he hadn't been awake already the shaking earth from the star would have done so, if the sudden shock form its powerful magic hadn't awoke him already.

"The King and Queen require you in the throne room, Immediately!" A guard burst into his study and informed him, knocking Ink Blood out of his stupor.

"Yes, of course." The two hundred and fifty year old stallion said, making his way there.

In the throne room the King, Queen, and the High Mage council were all waiting for the High Mage Adviser when he got there. "Ink Blood, it is good to see you." Said King Spear Head. "Do you have any knowledge of what caused that wave of magic?"

"It was most likely another of his failed spells." Spat the youngest member of the Mage council, Dark Mage Disorder, added to the council with the discovery of the new magic.

"This is not the time for your mockery, Disorder." Ink said before anyone could reprimand the young upstart. "A star has fallen in the north. In the territory's of the earth bound nomads."

"Are you sure of this, Ink?" Queen Blade Sheath asked.

"Yes, your Highness. I saw it with my own eyes."

"Get me the Captain of the Guard! We move at first light!" The King announced"

.........

Warrior Queen Wind was awoke by the shuddering of the sky. She rose from her cloud and scanned the sky, expecting an attack form the mystics. But what she saw instead was the entirety of her people watching the sky as a star fell in the distance, far out side of her territory in the land of the western nomad tribes.

Fallen Stars were rare and known to have many strong and mystical metals. The mystics stole the last one from her people two hundred years ago when she was but a foal, she would not let the mystics have this one.

"WARRIORS! WE LEAVE FOR THE FALLEN STAR AT FIRST LIGHT!" Wind shouted. "THE MYSTIC COWARDS WILL NOT HAVE THIS ONE! PER ARDUA AD ASTRA!!

.........

Scout was settling in for the night. He was, as his name suggest, scouting head of his tribe to make sure all was safe. Scout would normally only scout the area four days ahead of the tribe and then make his way back.

As of now he was only half a days walk from the tribe on his return trip. If he had the wings of the sky walkers, or even a horn like the mystics, he would have been back by now. But Scout and his tribe of three hundred or so were not of the sky or mystics. They were not even of the night like the leather wings. But they were stronger than the rest, and better at finding food as well.

Suddenly movement caught his eye, he jolted to his hooves and looked in its direction, only to calm as it was nothing more than a flying star across the sky. Or so he thought at first. As it came closer and closer to the earth in a line straight down Scout realized that it was not flying but falling.

When the star impacted Scout felt the ground beneath him shudder, mirroring his anticipation to find the fallen star. But he must meet his tribe first, for those of the night, those of the sky, and the mystics were guaranteed to be after it as well. All for there own reasons.

539 Years Later

When I awoke I slowly lifted myself from the ground and felt dirt and rocks fall away from my body. Looking around I saw that I was in what appeared to be a large crater that was most definitely old as there was grass and even a tree growing inside it. I put a fore-hoof to my head trying to remember what had happened last night for me to end up here, surrounded by three statues and what I'm guessing are the kind of offerings you would leave at a temple for a god. Or something like that.

Wait... Hoof?

I looked at my arm to see if that was right, and... it was.

My confusion skyrocketed as I attempted to process this. Last night I was on my computer doing... doing something, then there was some kind of doctor? A hospital maybe?

If so, what happened? And why am I here now?

I remained there, staring at my hoof, thinking for what must have been a solid hour before I shook my head and decided to try and figure it out later. I stood and began to shakily walk to the edge of the hundred foot deep crater. Noticing that I had been under some kind of gazebo as the sun assaulted my eyes and I had to blink several times to clear them.

I should be panicking, right? Well I am, but I have one rule I always attempt to follow: If there is a reason to panic, then there is a reason to not panic. Do I always follow this rule? As much as I want to say yes, no, I do not. But I still try, not to mention panicking would do nothing but exhaust me. Mentally and physically.

I look around as I reached the edge of the crater to see if I can find any kind of civilization nearby, and there definitely was.

All around the crater was a sprawling city, a river flowed through the middle and was only thirty to forty feet from me and the crater. Walking through the town was what appeared to be horses, no, to small to be horses. Ponies? And they weren't just ponies as I was pretty sure that I saw a Unicorn in there as well as a Pegasus.

"Ok.. what in the name of the ten hell's above?"
