Conquering Equestria

Gizmo tried his best to stay away from any contact with any farmers that would be working their fields.  He had been walking for a few hours and was sure he was being looked for by now but he knew if he stopped the guards might find him and he wasn't going back until he knew what was in that valley.

Eventually he reached the end of the wheat farms and found himself looking at the Everfree forest.  He had heard tales: ponies going in and not out the monsters that lurk in the trees and the evil poison joke, but he didn't care he had to get to that valley.  He couldn't explain it but it was calling to him and he had to find out the truth for him self.  He remembered back to the past.

"Daddy," Gizmo sat at his fathers feet on the balcony, "what is that beyond the forest?"

"It's a simple valley, that's all," sighed Concorus.

"But what is in the valley?"  Asked Gizmo.

"Gizmo, you must promise me never to leave this castle, let alone go past the outer wall," said Concorus as he stared at Gizmo with serious eyes, "The outside is a dangerous place and you could get hurt."

"Come on Dad, I'm six, I think I can look after myself," groaned Gizmo.  Concorus looked at him sternly, "Fine," sighed Gizmo, " I promise."

He was travailing through the forest each twist and turn was making him more confused.  he could barely tell where he was going and it was slow progress with him constantly looking down to make sure he wasn't stepping in in poison joke.  He didn't want to start sing show tunes and using the head of a hammer to screw in a nail.  Every time he would come to what seemed like the end he would just find some big rocks or dead tree that lead to shattered hopes and more forest.  Eventually he found his way to what looked like a ruined castle.  He decided to take a look just in case but what he found in side was weirder than he has ever witness in the castle he grew up in.  There was no thrones, no decorations and shattered windows.  In fact, the only thing even remarkable about the room was a strange pedestal in the middle of the room.  It looked as if it had originally held some kind of objects atop of it but they were gone now.  He decided to forget about the strange pedestal and look for somewhere else to sleep.  He eventually found a nice nook and swiftly went off to sleep.

He had been wandering for hours now and his body was rebelling because of the empty hole that was making its self heard in his stomach.  he would have killed for a piece of bread.  Finally the grass got softer and it became easier to see or at least it was until i bright flash of pink said hello and scared him into subconscious.
