A month in space has passed for Cyre. He was currently training under 500G as he began to approach his destination. He hadn’t even noticed yet before the beeping of his ship alerted him. He had an hour left before arriving. Turning off the gravity amplifier, the room turned back to its normal color as Cyre took off his clothes for a shower. By the time he’d gotten dressed in his clean personal Gi, 20 minutes remained before arrival. Looking out the window, he saw the new planet.

“What a beautiful a planet. A lot like Earth. Except for the massive supercontinent maybe. I can only hope the inhabitants are just as beautiful and peaceful as the planet looks from up here…”

Bridlewood, 3 days before ANG

On the beautiful planet of Equus, in the land of Equestria, there were three pony races. The unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies. Their world was filled with magic, which made it the home of many creatures and flora. At least 1010 years before this point in the story, The land of Equestria was ruled by the twin sisters of the sun and moon, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

The two sisters ruled the three pony tribes for as long as they can remember. Until, one day, Luna had fallen prey to her jealousy of her sister, due to ponies playing and frolicking in the day, and hiding away in the night, thinking they didn’t appreciate and were afraid of it. This caused Luna to turn into the evil Nightmare Moon, where she declared that she would make an endless night.

Before she could however, her sister, with a heavy heart, banished her sister to the moon for the next 1000 years, using the elements of harmony, 6 powerful artifacts that were created by the tree of harmony, which was deep in The everfree forest.

1000 years pass, and Nightmare Moon, returned to attempt what she had all those moons ago. However, she was stopped once again. Not by her sister but six mares. The leader of which, the element of magic, whom was named Twilight Sparkle. Her friends, the other fellow elements, were named Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie.

From then on, Twilight and her were the primary defenders of Equestria, as well as becoming an alicorn princess in Twilight’s case. They fought against many things, such as changelings, minotaurs, shadow creatures, and many more. In their later years, they sought to be friend their neighboring nations, which included the reformed changelings, dragons, kirins, hippogriffs, and others. Thanks to there efforts, and Twilight’s ascension to the throne once the two sisters retired, equestria went into s long stretch of peace.

But as history shows, nothing lasts forever.

Due to unforeseen events in the distant future, magic was taken away from the world, and the three tribes separated, due to mistrust and paranoia. The pegasi stayed in Zephyr Heights, the earth ponies in Maretime bay, and the unicorns in Bridlewood.

This brings us all the way up to now. Bridlewood is where we begin our little story. We follow a unique unicorn by the name of Izzy moonbow, as she makes her way out of the forest of Bridlewood.

Izzy Moonbow was unique in that she wasn’t like all the other unicorns. Except for maybe one other unicorn, but we’ll save that for another time. while all the other unicorns were superstitious and melancholy, Izzy was all upbeat and smiling all the time basically. She wasn’t always content though. In Bridlewood, she had very few, if any friends. When she was younger, she found a note from mare time bay, which said that she had friends there, and to come visit them.

That’s why she decided to leave Bridlewood to go Maretime Bay, despite the rejection of others, who claimed the earth ponies stink and were quite dumb.

Once she was a good distance away from Bridlewood, she stared to sing to herself and look upwards into the sunset, before she spotted a bright trail in the sky. It was none other than Cyre’s gravity capsule ship.
And it seemed to be getting closer and headed into her direction. Izzy could only stare as the ship flew a few hundred feet above her head, landing a good bit away in the nearby green field. Despite her better judgement, she began to walk to the landing site.

Once she’d gotten up close, she found that it looked like a giant, shiny metal ball with legs. It had the words CAPSULE CORPORATION written on the front of it, though she obviously had never heard of such a company in her life. This thing was from a whole new world. Izzy quickly felt confusion and fear turn into excitement! First contact with an alien species!

Before she could do any more thinking, the strange pod had opened up and a ramp came down, the light from the inside of the ship blinding her. Once the lights stopped, she stared up at Cyre, who was staring out into the field with a smile on his face. Once he heard a gasp, Cyre quickly turned to look down at Izzy, who was speechless.

"Where am I?" Cyre asked. He was a staring at a purple and blue horse with a horn on her head, which was staring right back at him. It was the weirdest thing he had ever seen! "Who are you?"

The mysterious pony answered his question, much to Cyre's surprise. Not only were they ponies, but they could talk, as well! Cyre Kneeled down so he could look a bit less intimidating to Izzy, who just laughed.

"Hi there new friend! My names Izzy! And you just landed outside of Bridlewood, the lovely little place I call home!”

Cyre stopped and realized he was having a conversation with a pony. "Wait...ugh this is messing with my head. So you're...a pony? Or something? By the way, my names Cyre".

"Yes, a unicorn to be exact. Wanna have a closer look?” She didn’t give him any time to answer before she quickly thrust her horn towards his face, to which he dodged swiftly.

“Hey, careful! Watch where you’re pointing that thing. You could’ve poked my eye out or stabbed that thing somewhere! Don’t worry about that too much though… you look pretty cute for a unicorn pony, I like you!”

He immediately began to scratch behind her ears and pet her mane softly, which caused her to quickly melt into his hands as she purred in bliss, as one of her hooves tapped repeatedly on the ground and her tailed wagged left and right. He did eventually stop though, much to Izzy’s disappointment.

Suddenly, it dawned on Izzy a bit more than it had before This is an extraterrestrial being she’s currently talking to. One of which all ponykind has never discovered before. It wears clothing, and it appeared to be trying to befriend her, so it must be a sapient creature. The possibilities!

If this is true, there are so many things she could ask about it! What is its culture like? What does it eat? Where is it from? Why does it have hair protruding from its head like a mane, but not everywhere else?

"Ehm... Izzy?" Cyre states.

How many of them are there? Did they descend from monkeys? How do the sun and moon work for them? Heck, do they even have a sun and moon? Are all of his kind this buff?

"Izzy?"

On the other hoof, they may also be dangerous, and she may need to strain caution. How did this pod work? It could be some serious magic, implying that this creature may be rather proficient at spellcasting. But without a horn to cast spells? And no magic in Equestria at all? How did it-

“IZZY!!!”

This snapped her out of her little trance, while Cyre shrunk due the ship to capsule form, stowing it away before he looked up at the sky, it was starting to get dark, to which Cyre asked if Izzy had a place he could crash.

“Well, I do have a house back in Bridlewood, but it’s a bit far from here now. Besides, I was on my way to another town when you showed up, Maretime Bay, it’s where the Earth ponies live.”

“Earth ponies?”

“Oh, right! You wouldn’t know anything about that, would you? Well, there are three tribes. The earth ponies, the unicorns, and the pegasi. We all live independently from one another, due to not really liking each other… it’s rather complicated, it’d take way too long to explain the details.”

“Alright then, I’ll take your word for it. How about we make camp for the night and head to… Maretime Bay… what a dumb pun… tomorrow. That sound like a plan Izzy?”

“I’m all up for this plan, space man!”

Cyre couldn’t help but giggle. Izzy just brought that out in him. This was going better than he thought it would. He’d still be cautious of course, cause not everybody on this planet is as friendly as Izzy is undoubtedly. And on top of that, these tribes were segregated. Barging in like this would be pretty hectic. Those thoughts were for tomorrow though, so with that out of mind for now, Cyre got to work on setting up camp.
