When I woke up it was dark and the others were in the den. When I went outside the farm food was planted. And the moat was half done it went all the way around the field but was two wide and still had a lot of work to be done still. When I look up at the moon, The mare on the moon is still there. I go back into the den and snuggle up to shadow. "I just hope the next day is good." and I finally fall asleep.

I woke up to someone poking me.

“Hey FoxFire you need to get up, we have a busy day today!”

I open my eyes to see Shadow. “Good morning Shadow.” me and shadow head outside.

Outside I see the fox foxponies working on the moat to bring water to the farmland. Also the fox Pegasus flying in circles above the camp acting as spotters for danger for the camp. Or maybe they are just practicing flying while talking to each other. The fox unicorns were sitting near the farm talking to each other. When I go to the edge of the farm everyone gathers around me.

“Hey FoxFire what do we do now?” says Sara

“Did you figure out what's up with these abilities.” said Wisp

“Ok so first things first. I need the Fox FoxPonys to go to the farm and grow the plants and continue working on the water for the plants. Shadow, I need your help so stay put and follow me when I'm done. Actually, can Wisp and Blaze stay too. Sara can you help Zeak and Sofea with the farm. And Arora can you work on your magic at a safe place.” When the others left I started. So you guys want to know about your abilities? So last night I met Willo, a fox in my dreams. He told me about the abilities of the three fox tribes. The Pegasus can fly without wings. The unicorn can heal other pony spirits. And fox fox ponies can see and grow plants better.
Now let's go to the river.”

At the river: “so what are we doing here?” Asked Wisp
“So” I walk into the river and take some clay off the bottom. And throw the clay on the ground and walk to the clay. “We're going to make bricks.” While they were watching I made the clay into a rectangle. “After you make the clay into a rectangle it has to dry off. Then you cook it and it becomes a brick.”

"What are we going to use these bricks for?" Asked Shadow

“We're going to build a furnace!”

“Uh What's a furnace?” Asked Blaze

“A furnace is a structure made to melt ores so you may use the ores to make armor and weapons and tools. Which is something we will really need in this forest.”

“Soo how do you build a furnace FoxFire?” Said Shadow.

I face hoof and drag my hoof down my face. This is going to take a while. About half an hour later. “And that's how you make a furnace for smelting.”

Looks like wisp fell asleep during the lesson wisp is lying under an Everfree tree with his head in his hooves like a cat. I walk over to wisp and start poking him because I will need him for the next part going to the stone age.

“Wisp, wisp, hey, WISP time to get up.”

Wisp slowly gets up to see Shadow working on making clay bricks, me poking him and Blaze hovering over the river get clay for the bricks.

“Yhawn, what is it FoxFire?”

“We're going to make stone tools.” I say with a bit of excitement.

Once I said that shadow, and blaze looked over giving me a weird look.

“Come on follow me” I walk to a vine connected to a tree near the lake. and tear it down then I look for a stick that's straight and long. Once I got both, I found a triangle shaped rock in the river. Once I got the rock, I took it and carved the stick to be straight then carved a hole into the top of the stick for the rock. Then I tied the stone into the stick. I now had a stone axe.

I show blaze, shadow, wisp the axe. “That's how you make a stone axe. Can you guys make some more axes so we may cut off branches of trees? And can you gather wood and bring it back to the den?” We will need the wood for tonight. To cook the bricks and teach everyone how to make fire. I walk over to shadow who is making an axe with Wisp.

“So how's it going”

“It's going” says wisp going back to his work on an axe

“Hey FoxFire, I was wondering what we are going to use to protect ourselves from afar?”

“Good question,” I put my hoof to my jaw thinking about it 5 minutes later….

‘SPEARS that if we can make spears to throw we can't make a bow yet on the other hoof maybe we can make a bow but the arrows will be hard to balance.’

I grab a couple vines to dry out when we get to the den. I also grab a small pointy rock and a long stick that's straight. I make a gap in the top of the stick then I sharpen the rock I choose for the spear end on another rock. I took the sharpened rock and put it in the hole. Then I took one of the vines and tied it around the rock and tied it off. Then I had a stone spear. Shadow was watching the whole time intently.

“Hey shadow want to help me make some spears”

“Ya”

Some time later, We made five bricks out of the clay of the river and some sand on the riverside at a curve. We also made three more stone axes, and 6 stone spears flimsy as they are. We head to the den with all the items.

“FoxFire what should we call the area around the den you know the farm and the trench?” said Shadow.

‘Man shadow your full of questions.’ “Well, I think we should call it camp for now. We can change it later.”

“Hey wisp this is awesome we get to make all these new things and it's just amazing. I hope that we can make it easier with all these… what did you call them FoxFire?”

“Tool's”

“Yah toools” said Blaze while holding an axe in his hooves, with three wet clay bricks on his back.

Wisp is looking up to Blaze “yha I hope we can use these spears to defend from the creatures of the Everfree.” wisp has five spears, four on his back and one in his mouth.

Shadow looks over to the two. “We have to get to the camp first to use them so let's hurry, we're burning daylight.” Shadow is holding 1 spear and two axes on his back.

‘I wonder how the others are doing at camp. I think they will be fine, maybe.’

At camp:

Arora is currently at a corner of the moat trying to levitate a stick. Arora has gotten the stick to where it's flickering to lift it and shaking a lot. When Sara comes over interrupting Aroras concentration, making the stick drop.

“Hey Arora”

“Hi Sara how's it been with the weather for the farm?”

“Good, I'm taking a break. What are you up to?”

“Oh I'm just trying to float this stick here see” Arora floats the stick it wobbles then falls “though I'm missing something it keeps falling”

“Maybe its flow rate? I mean when I have my magic flow faster. I speed up and when I add flow to my hooves it makes it so I can move the clouds.”

‘Maybe?’ Arora puts her hove to her chin and tries to float the stick while monitoring the flow rate. Eventually the stick starts to float and doesn't fall, but it wobbles every once in a while. “IT worked!! Thank you Sara! Thank you so much!”

“Soo Arora can you help with the farm digging dirt for the plants aren't easy with hooves.”

“Sure Sara”

On the farm while digging the moat Zeak cuts his hoof on a rock that was hidden by some dirt “ow” Zeak looks down to his hoof there's a small cut that goes from the bottom of the hoof up 3 inches and goes half an inch deep. Zeak got out of the moat he was digging for the farm. “Hey, I don't think I can dig any more.” Zeak says while slowly and carefully waving his hoof in a small circle the air.

Arora came over and saw the cut and had a strange feeling that drew her to use her magic on the wound. The wound slowly closed up with white blue lines stitching the hoof back together.

“While that was interesting,” Zeak said while looking over his now healed hoof.

“Arora what was that?” Said Sara

“I don't know, I just felt like I needed to put magic on your wound and it healed. Maybe we should ask FoxFire about this?”

“Well I guess I can go back to working on the moat. Thank you Arora.” Zack jumped back into the moat and went back to work on it.

“Oh come on Zack take a break. you did just get hurt.” said Sara, wavering her hoof in the air to emphasis on her words.

“No!”

“No?”

“No, I'm not coming out to stop working.”

“You're such a workaholic Zack. Aurora, can you help me pull back out to get him to rest? He's been at this all day with no brakes.”

“Ok Sara.” ‘umm let's see’ Sara jumped into the moat while Arora watched.

“Zack out!” Sara started to push Zack out of the moat.

Back in the forest.

We were coming back to camp and once we got past the trees we found Zack at the top of one of the moats with Sara and Arora dragging him away from it.

Blaze, “what did we miss?”

Just when I'm about to ask what's going on. I hear a ear shattering howl comeing from the forest “Timberwolves! Grab the stone spears and get on the inside of the camp! quickly!”

Everypony rushes into the camp and grabs a stone spear off of Wisp. Once everyone had a sear we formed a line at the side the timber wolves were coming from, at the gap in the moat. Five Timberwolves come out of the forest and try to leap over the moat two get impaled on stone spears, one didn't make the jump and fell into the moat falling apart, the last two made it over the moat and went for me I rammed my spear into the first one and barely managed to doge the second snapping my stone spear leaving me with a stick, the second leaps at me again but shadow manages to shove his stone spear into the wolf chest from the side killing it.

“That was close, Thanks shadow.” Now that the timber wolves are gone I check on everyone, everyone seems not to be injured. Two of the stone spears are broken. One spears rock is broken, the other is the shaft. “Man, we really need better equipment.” As I start to think of somewhere to get better weapons the castle of the two sisters comes to mind…

“Man shadow you were awesome!” said blaze

“I just did my best blaze.”

I look up and see that I have half the day left.

“We need better equipment…”

“Yha we do, when I used my spear it broke,” said shadow. While holding his broken spear.

“Ok so where will we get better equipment?” Said Arora

“I think we should go to the castle of the two sisters.” I said

“Blaze, Sara, I want you to help me look from the air for some ruins. Once you find some i want you to go back to camp.”

“Yes sir.” said blaze

“Ok.” said Sara

We took off and went different directions to look for the ruins. About 3 hours later i went back to the camp not finding anything. I look down to see Sara already at the camp. I land next to her.

“So did you find the ruins?”

“Yeah it's that way about one hour out by walking”

“Thank you Sara. Now all we have to do is wait until tomorrow. When we have more sunlight.”

About an hour later blaze comes back to camp and says he didn't find anything. After I gather everyone up so I can teach them how to make fire. After about an hour, I started a fire for the night. it's already getting dark so I go to the den and go to sleep for the night.

Author's Note

so for now one I'm going to focus on character development its too hard to juggle all of the characters at once that's why this chapter took soo long. and I know this chapter is a bit scattered but its for the same reason. I do this for fun so it takes time to make the chapters.
