The Elder Ponies VI: Equestria

You had just eaten a loaf of bread and some apples, sitting outside Blackhawk cave. It had been a day since you left Ponyville, and it would ake another night to reach the fort. As you got up, you put away your food.

You walked calmly on the road, enjoying the beauty of Equestria. You atched as a stranged white glow appeared in your path. eminating a warm feeling in you. As you reached a hoof to touch it, you felt a strange sensation, as you saw liht all over you, before you were taken in.

You awoke on what appered to be mist, all around could see a pale blue sky, looking down, you saw the vast region of Equestria. "Magic, but who's?" You thought, looking at the view. "It was my magic, Blade." a familiar voice said. Turning around, you noticed Celestia standing nearby, her sister, Luna, her niece Cadence, her nephew-in-law Shining Armor, and the 6 Elements standing there, smiling warmly at you. You boed in reverance, before Luna spoke to you. "Arise, my little pony, for we come to you, not as your rulers, but as your friends." you got up. "Princesses, Elements, and friends. Why have you summoned me?" You ask, bewildered. "Because your ancestor, Shining Skies, who had been falsly aressted for stealing bread, saved all of Equestrimel from Pumaril the Unfeathered, and from Mehrunes Dragon, two of the greatest threats to the world." Cadence said, looking at you. "But, I'm no hero. I failed to save my family! Why would you call me?!" You ask, tears springing to your eyes once more. "Don't be such a cryer-whyer, Bladey." Pinkie Pie said, giggling slightly as she dried your tears with a hoof. "Nopoy is born great, Blade Song." Twilight Sparkle said. "Even Princess Celestia and luna here here foals when their parents, King Terra and Queen Solaria, created Equestrelim." Celestia blushed somewhat, before continuting Twilight's sentence.

"Even your ancestor was not born into greatness. She was falsely accused of stealing bread. What actually happened, all those years ago, is she bought it. After paying the 2 bits for the wheat bread, she gave it to a poor family of Donkies. The shopkeeper, eraged by this, called for the guards, saying Shining SKies had stolen the bread for her. A few hours after she had been locked up, that's when we sent Chancellor Golden Bit to your cell." Celestia finished. Your mouth was open, as you heared the origis of your ancestor.

"But we have a task for you. Poniblivion is opening once more, and an old foe has re-awkened after centuries. You are to go to Lightwind Keep, we ill tell you more once you arrive. And don't worry about your contract, it has been delivered and the gold is yours." Twilight said, as she fired a spell to send you back.

As you regained your sight, you ate an apple, then headed don the road to Lightwind Keep, a day's journey...........
