Hi, my name is Blake Winters and I've just turned 18, now I know what your thinking, what could this kid possibly have to do with colorful talking anthro ponies, well let me tell you, It's a long story and it starts like this. There I was 17 years old just a few months ago having the time of my life with my friends, not giving a damn in the world because my old man is a rich mercenary feared around the world by everyone, from Putin to Biden as the Dragon of War, they all know to fear the name Marcus Winters because he's a monster in human form, 7 foot tall and built like a tank my old man is a sight to see, if your not afraid of nightmares. Anyway enough about that dickhead, It was an normal day for me, the year was 2023, I got up had a shower got dressed played Fallout 4 for a while but when I went to go out my old man showed up in his usual black ankle length trench coat. "There you are, you little shit stain." My father said.

"Oh uh, hi dad, long time no see." I said feeling like a child next to my father, with the height difference and all, I'm only five foot ten.

"Shut up you little piss ant, I have something to tell you." My father said looking down at me.

"What is it dad?" I asked.

"I'm cutting you off when you turn 18." My dad said.

"What?" I asked.

"You heard me, I'm cutting you off when the government says your a man." My father said with a straight face.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because, your too soft, and I don't like that." My father answered.

"What that's no reason to cut me off." I said and my father struck me with the back of his forearm knocking me to the ground.

"Listen hear you little shit, I'm your father and my word is final, so fish or cut bait the choice is yours." My father said and then left, I stayed on the ground for a while thinking about what he said, but the more I thought about it the more I realized he just wanted me gone, one less thing to think about, at least my cousin Rogue in the UK has it better, right?

Anyway there I was left alone and finding out my old man planned on cutting me off, I didn't know what to do and my emotions were all over the place, after a while I calmed down and went out for a walk to get my thoughts together about what I was going to do and while I was out I bumped into an old friend who I hadn't seen since she came out as a Brony. "Blake, is that you?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's me Jade." I answered my mind somewhere else at the time.

"It's been ages, how have you been?" Jade asked.

"Oh, you know good and all." I said or something like that.

"Hey, are you ok?" Jade asked.

I thought about answering for a long while before I finally did. "No I'm not good, I just found out my old man is going to cut me off because he thinks I'm soft." I confessed.

"Oh no, that's awful, if you need to you can crash at my place." Jade said with genuine kindness.

"Thanks, for some reason I don't think my old man is messing with me this time." I said and she hugged me, I didn't expect it but I returned it all the same and let go before it got weird.

Jade looked at me and then reached into her pocket, and put something in my hand. "Here, I want you to have this, I was told that on a full moon something incredible will happen if your holding it." She said giving me a rainbow colored crystal.

"You know this is probably fake right?" I ask with a smirk.

"I know, but a little faith goes along way." Jade said with a smile, and the funny thing was I believed her.

I smiled. "Thanks Jade." I said and she kissed me on the lips before leaving me standing there speechless as she got on a bus to go where ever it is she works, I honestly don't know, we lost touch after school, but if that kiss was anything to go by she's had a crush on me for a while. After that I went home and looked at the crystal Jade gave me, and I noticed it really was crystal and not resin like I first thought, as I was looking at it the crystal started to glow brighter and brighter until it blinded me and I passed out for who knows how long. when I finally came to I was in a forest of some kind and I thought I was dreaming, my mistake, as I looked around my hand got scratched by some thorns drawing blood and that's when I realized that I wasn't dreaming, I was awake some where I didn't recognize. "Ok Jade, good joke, Come on out." I said and waited for Jade to show up, but she never did. "Jade?" I asked. "This isn't funny, you know my dad will hurt you badly while I'm still under age... right?" I asked losing some hope. After I got no response I looked up at the sun and tracked it's position like my old man showed me on one of the few occasions when he actually had taken an interest in my life and I determined that it was a good idea to go west. "Boy was I wrong." I kept going in that direction until I left the forest which I would later learn was called the Everfree forest and apparently it's very "dangerous" but I never had a problem with it, so far anyway.

After reaching the edge of the forest I took a brake in the shade of a tree at the edge of the tree line until my legs stopped hurting from all the walking I'd done, when my legs stopped hurting I got up and kept walking in the same direction, eventually I spotted a town in the distance. "If only I knew the chaos that would ensue then, I wouldn't have bothered." I walked towards the town not knowing what awaited me, as I grew closer I saw some people, but they didn't look right, their faces were too long and when I got closer I realized that I wasn't seeing things, these people weren't people they looked like the anthro animals that furrys make art of but they were all colorful ponies as I stopped and looked at them and they started going in their homes and locking the door as well as drawing the curtains, my father would laugh at this kind of behavior but it concerned me greatly and I was right because I then heard a woman shouting at me from behind.

"Hey you, get out'a here you monster." A tomboyish voice said and before I could turn around I heard the flapping of wings and I was kicked in the back and got knocked to the ground, I picked myself up and turned to face a cyan furred female pony with wings and rainbow hair and tail wearing a white vest and black sports shorts with a sleeveless light blue hoodie she also had white sneakers.

"What the fuck is your problem!" I shouted at her and she tried to punch me but i dodged and grabbed her by the wrist turned on the spot and flipped her over my shoulder slamming her on the ground hard and she screamed as she rolled away, apparently I must have hurt her wings with that stunt and I was about to apologies but I was hit by a blast of shimmering blue energy in my left shoulder which knocked me off my feet and sent me spinning back nearly twenty feet only stopping when I hit a wall, it was the worst pain I'd ever felt up to that point it was even worse than the ass kicking I got from my dad when he trained me to fight a few years ago. I slowly got up feeling like my back had almost been broken by the hit, as I got up I looked at my shoulder and it had been torn open in a nasty gash that burned like fire and was bleeding heavily with blood rushing down my arm, I then looked at the light blue pony that had attacked and saw another helping her up this one was had white fur and with a fancy hair and tail style and she was wearing a red dress top with a black belt, black slim fit trousers and black high heels. To be honest it wasn't a bad look and I'm not going to lie she made it look damn good and that's when I noticed the cone shaped horn growing out of her forehead that was glowing the same color as the energy that hit me and I put two and two together.

"Rainbow are you alright?" The white one asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, that thing just caught me off guard is all." The rainbow haired one said who's name is apparently Rainbow go figure.

"HEY, who are you calling a thing, you attacked me first." I shouted as I felt my blood run down my left arm, and the two looked at me as if I'd grown an extra head.

"Did... did that thing just talk?" The white one asked looking shocked, I was about to respond to being called a "thing" again but before I got the chance to speak a rope landed around me and was pulled tight and I was dragged off my feet and on to my back only just avoiding hitting my head on the ground.

"What the fuck." I said as I was dragged back.

"Get out'a here you varmint." another female voice said with a heavy southern accent said before i was tossed towards the edge of the town and I caught sight of mare with orange fur and blond hair and tail wearing a red check shirt, light blue denim jeans with cowboy boot's and hat and she was freakishly strong able to throw me around on the end of the rope like it was nothing, I slammed into the ground hard again and and it hurt worse than last time and I heard something snap followed by unimaginable pain coming from my right side around the back, and I knew something had just broken as I got the rope off me and got back to my feet quickly running away back to the forest leaving a blood trail as the three chased me off from the town.

A few hours later.

After getting beaten up and chased off from the town I'd ran back into the forest like a cowered and I could hear my father's voice mocking me from the back of my mind. "That's right run away Blake, that's all a cowered like you is good for, because your soft and weak." Over and over again the voice of my father mocked me for my weakness, as I ran deeper into the forest I found an old castle that had fallen into ruin and took cover in side so I could rest up and give my wounds a chance to heal.

"Damn those fucking things, I could have been killed back there." I said wincing as I used a somewhat clean piece of cloth and bronze bowl filled with clear water to clean the wound on my shoulder as best I could without reopening the wound as well as clean the dried blood off my chest and arm. After that I tucked myself away into a dry corner and tried to rest up for a while.

Twilight's P.O.V

I was walking towards Sugar Cube Corner to speak with some of my friends about some monster that walked into Ponyville this morning and hurt Rainbow Dash, I didn't know what exactly had happened because me and Spike were reorganizing the library after we had a delivery of rare books from Canterlot that I requested Princess Celestia to send for so I could continue my studies. As I walked through town I saw Lyra looking around and taking some blood samples from the ground. "Lyra, what are you doing?" I asked as I stopped to watch what Lyra was doing.

Lyra turned around to face me with a wide smile. "Twilight, have you heard, a real life human was here in Ponyville this morning." Lyra said excitedly.

I raise an eyebrow at this news. "Really Lyra, I thought you were over with your human obsession." I said crossing my arms.

"I was, until I saw one walk into town this morning only for that show off friend of yours to attack him followed by Rarity and Applejack, it looked like they hurt him badly too." Lyra said as she stored the blood she'd collected in in a cooler bag.

"What, Rarity actually attacked somepony?" I asked shocked that she would do something like that.

"Yeah I know, she's the last pony I would expect to attack anypony." Lyra said as she packed her equipment away.

"Right, I need to get going." I said as I kept walking and arrived at Sugar Cube Corner shortly after and found the rest of my friends sitting at a big table in the corner and I walked over to them. "Hi girls, I heard you guys dealt with some kind of monster this morning." I said as I took a seat next to Fluttershy.

"Yes we did, it was weird looking and seemed furrless except for the top of it's head, thank Celestia it was wearing clothes." Rarity said as she took a sip of her strawberry milkshake.

"Yeah, you should have seen it Twi, it was like no critter I've ever seen." Applejack said leaning back in her chair.

"D.. did it hurt anypony?" Fluttershy asked.

"Uh, not really, I just kinda saw him and saw every pony running from him and thought he'd done something." Rainbow said sheepishly.

"Hold up Dashy, You attacked him for no reason?" Pinkie asked looking at Rainbow and so did every pony else.

"Well I thought he did something." Rainbow said defensively.

"Rainbow, you thought is not a reason to attack somepony." I said reprimanding Rainbow for jumping to conclusions.

Rarity looked a little nervous. "So, your saying I used a potentially lethal spell over a misunderstanding?" she asked glaring daggers at Rainbow.

"Enough, I think it's clear that Rainbow jumped the gun here, and somepony innocent was hurt as a result." Fluttershy said speaking up and the others all had looks on their faces that showed regret.

"Fluttershy is right, somepony innocent was hurt, we have to make this right and find them and help them." I said standing up . "Who's with me?" I asked.

"I think its fair to say we have to make this right, don't we girls." AJ asked and got resounding "Yeah." from every pony.

"Ok, let's go find it, if we follow the blood trail from it's wound we should find him quickly." I said as we left Sugar Cube Corner and followed the blood trail into the Everfree.
