Child of the sky

Chapter One: The Child of the sky. Twilight's note's

It was just a normal day in ponyville. Rainbow was off practicing or somewhere taking a nap, Rarity was busy making dresses, Fluttershy was taking care of her animals, AppleJack was working with Big Macintosh since apple bucking season had just begun, Pinkie Pie was helping the Cakes with a big upcoming order. Me I was busy taking care off tiding up the library with spike.

"Spike hurry up we need to get this place organized it's a mess after we tried to make sense of pinkie's Pie's sense again there's just no way even if Celestia herself tried to find out how she could predict she would fail."

After I had a bad day spying on pinkie to try and find out how she could predict thing's like when her tail gets twitchy thing's start to fall I learned that out the hard way.

"Spike can you finish the rest I have to go to Zecora's place to get some of my favorite tea." We just ran out of my favorite tea using it as a substance to help me stay awake to find out pinkie's sense.

"Sure Twilight but can you see if she has any gemstone's or something I'm starved" Spike helped me gather the books and tried to help me with the research but he eat a lot of gemstone's while working so he wouldn't get hungry while working.

"Thanks spike see you later. But once your done your free to do what you want for the rest of day since you worked a lot"

When I was heading out to go to the Everfree forest I noticed something. There was Pegasus looking around he looked like he was trying to find something. His mane was a darker blonde that went to his shoulder's, the edge's of it looked spiked and and were singed black. His coat was black but with some grayish in it.

"Where is it how can I have gotten lost" said the a strange Pegasus he was just up on a cloud looking at the map he seemed to be looking for something? I had no choice but to help he seemed completely lost.

"Um hello there you seem lost are you looking for something" He jumped back in a sudden surprise when I talked to him he seemed a bit on edge.

"Yea I got lost when trying to find a town called Ponyville. I'm looking for someone who lives there her name is Rainbow Dash. You wouldn't happen to know her do you."

I was shocked to hear that he was looking for Rainbow but he did look like he had to tell her something important. "Yea she's one of my friends just go west past a farm and she should be around but I would like to ask something. Who are you"? He seemed quite pleased that he found out where to go but not surprised when I asked for his name.

"Alright since you helped me out where to go i can tell you my name its Zap". Zap what a weird name even for a Pegasus but it made sense since his cutie marked was to look like that of a dark storm cloud with lighting shooting in every directions.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle nice to meet you zap". He then made a landing on the ground and shook my hand and smiled but when we shook hooves a sudden we got a small shock and Zap seemed surprised to "Ow where did that come from"? I was really curious the shock came out of no where i would have assumed some weird magic but since he wasn't a unicorn I thought since he's a Pegasus some lighting might have gotten on him and then shocked us.

"Are you okay twilight I didn't mean to shock you seems like I was hanging on that cloud for to long and I just got some lighting on me" He looked at me making sure I wasn't hurt but then I noticed that his eye's were blood red. They looked perfect on him but it was a weird color to have for eye's one pony would think. So after him making sure I wasn't hurt he just started to take off right before he said a few things.

  "Thanks a lot Twilight I won't forget it. My motive is "When somepony help's you it is best to help them in the future if they need it or not" so thanks again I need to find Rainbow."

He looked like a nice guy but why does he need to find Rainbow? Oh well I'm sure Rainbow can handle things on her own now I need to hurry up and get to Zecora's before it starts getting dark.

"Finally I made it to zecora's anypony can get lost here" I went to the door and meet with zecora just as she was about to leave. "Ah zecora just the pony I wanted to see, how has your day been"?

"Ah twilight it has been good and well but there was a strange pegasus I saw a mane of blonde and a coat of black did you happen to see him on your way here"? I was surprised that zecora meet zap but he was hanging above the everfree forest when I meet him.

"Yea I just saw him he got lost when looking for ponyville but I helped him out he seemed nice, why did he ask you for directions?" Zecora just shook her head

"No twilight I sensed something and went to check on it and there was the pegasus of blonde and black but what business did he have here"? Strange I thought at least zecora would now more about him but I guess I was proven wrong.

"Oh since you didn't meet him his name is Zap he may seem a bit weird at first but he isn't that bad he seemed pretty nice. Zap said he had to talk to Rainbow about something but that's their business not mine. Let's see I need my tea some, herbs, and a bucket of the antidote for poison joke apparently some pony found some and touched it and needs a batch of the antidote. So tomorrow can I stop by and pick up the tea, herbs, and antidote?" Zecora just shook her head yes and started walking apparently she was just about to head to ponyville to pick up some supplies and food.

"So when you said you sensed something and zap was outside what did you sense?" I was really curious zecora has her own way of sensing something but it's totally different then Pinkie's.

"I heard a bit of crackling and sensed the feel of lightning and when i looked he was right there on a cloud looking around. Oh and yes can i stop by the library while I'm in town i wanted to learn more about this time of old about pegasus with special talent's they were named "The children of the skies" because they were the closest a pegasus got to the sky." Well that sound's like zecora to get a book like that but I need to do some research on these "Children of the skies."

Strange I never heard of such a book but I suppose it won't hurt to try plus I'm sure it will be easier to find today Spike and I just got done cleaning the library so it shouldn't be that hard to find"

We arrived in ponyville when i noticed Zap again I was glad to see he made it but now by the looks of it he's searching for Rainbow but when he saw me he just landed and shook my hove again

"Hey Twilight didn't think i would see you this soon and who is this one of your friends"? He seemed quite curious about zecora but he wasn't afraid like the rest of ponyville before AppleJacks little sister Apple Bloom got things sorted out.

"Well hello there pegasus I am Zecora." All he did was smile and shook her hand there was a small zap between them I made a small joke to myself about why he's named zap

"I guess they call you zap because anyone you touch gets zapped". All he did was smirk "Maybe but who knows that's the name I chose for myself I don't even remember my old name since I ditched that name years  ago."

Strange did he have amnesia or did he really just forget?

"Well I gotta go see you later Twilight." He waved bye and he just jumped flapped his wing right when he jumped and somehow got to a high speed I could've sworn he was moving even faster then Rainbow but she was pretty fast to.

"See you later Zap" He then left and after the rest of the day helping out zecora and finding the book she wanted she went back home and so did I.

When I walked in I saw Spike talking to Zap. "Oh hi again for the third time today Twilight." Such a strange Pegasus I thought to myself.

"Well hello again Zap it's good to see you're finding your way around ponyville have you talked to Dash yet?" All he did was shake his head no and asked one question.

"Hey Twilight you wouldn't happen to know someone I can crash with for tonight I'm beat and I realized I didn't think about where i would stay". Strange I didn't here of any surprise party's in town maybe he hadn't run into Pinkie yet but he will.

"Yea go to the Carousel Boutique and ask my friend Rarity if you could stay with here for a bit she's always so willing to help out I'm sure she wouldn't mind tell her I sent you got it." All he did was let out a big sigh and began walking out.

"Thanks Twilight I thought I was stuck having to sleep outside that's twice you helped me thanks Twilight. Talk to you later spike."

After I got all settled I was ready for a good's night sleep, spike was already fast asleep because of cleaning the library but he deserves it. But now its time for me to get some sleep but my mind questioned me "Who is Zap?" "Who are the  Children of the skies?" I was to tired to answer and started to fall asleep I'm going to end this entry already so I can get some sleep good night and sweet dreams to me.

Author's note:I hope you guys are now interested in this story and so I hope I made you question. Who is Zap? What does he need to find Rainbow for? And what secret's will be revealed? I will post another chapter if things start off well. So let's hope i see you in the future and sorry about zecora I can't seem to get any of the rhyming thing she does whenever she talks
