You had arrived in Ponyville, to find work, and some new equipment. The market place was bustling that day. An Earth Pony was trying to haggle for celery at one stand. You smiled sadly at that. It reminded you of the arguments you and Old Stallion Witherspoon would have over the price of his candy. You wore a long black trencoat over your body, the hood down. You had only your sword, which you had named Justice, with you. All your other old gear was stored in a pocket in space you had conjured. You rememered how Pegasi and Earth Ponies had been given the ability to do magic by the Element of Magic yourself, Twilight Sparkle.

It all started 425 years ago, during the Poniblivion Crisis. Chancellor Golden Bit had been assassinated by a cult of ponies named the Rising Inferno. They wished to summon Mehrunes Dragon, the Daydric prince of war and destruction. They had succeded, as Poniblivion gates were opened. You ancestor, a Pegasus pony named Shining Skies, had taken up arms. She was to become known as the hero of Ponyville, alongside the Celestial Cruader. 5 months after she joined up, Mehrunes Dragon had arrived. He stormed through Ponyville, crushing all resistance, that's when The Elements of Harmony showed up, for they had been friends with your great times some number grandmother.

As your ancestor watched on, The Elementso of Harmony activated, as the ponies using then ere washed in a glow of light. Then, a beam of magical energy fire from them. It blasted straight through Dragon, and she saw what appeared to be the 6 colors of the Elements in that beam. Your ancestor watched as Twilight, using her power, causing a wave of magical energy to be sent thorughout the land, before smiling, as she and the other 5 Elements dissapeared in a flash of light, knocking your ancestor to the ground.

You woke a few hours later, and discovered all begins,ponies, griffons, and the rest, could fire various magical spells from whatever appendage they used, hooves, talons, etc. Though, at a heavy cost, the 6 Elements had ascended to a higher plane of existance, to be known as The 6 Elements.

You wandered into the nearest Fighter's Guild, and asked the head there, a middle-aged Minotaur named Steel Horns, for work, and recruitment. He accepted you, and gave you a letter, containing orders to be given to Commander Storm Shadow, garrisoned in a fort on the outskirts of Manehatten. You were to be given 500 gold, 200 now, 300 from Storm Shadow. Grabbing some Chainmail armor, minues the helmet, a leather shield, some food nad potions, alongside a bow and arrows, you set off on the road to Manehatten, that's when your troubles started.............
