The beginning of it all

Bolide Hexes hooves were clacking against the hard path of Canterlot's wide roads. As always he was making his way towards the library, to research for his essay thats due tomorrow. He was always a procrasinator, and yet he somehow manages to be one of the top students. Though their proffesor does give them an earfull when they turn in work late or right before the deadline.

After they entered the building, they peeked around quickly, looking for the biology section. They needed to write an essay about a ponies immune sytsem, and how it reacts to bacteria and viruses that enter the body. He didnt really like these kinds of topics, he already knew the basics of it, and he didnt join Queen Celestia's school for biology. Their cutie mark was about magic for pony's sake! However it needed to be done nevertheless.

They searched through the shelves, swiftly finding what they were looking for. The unicorns horn lit up with a vibrant green color, the magic grappling the book titled: Pony biology experted by Nimble Gust. Their long legs making the way towards an empty desk, sitting down on the chair. He sighed and opened the book grabbing a scroll and quill starting to take notes as he reads. Though their peaceful studying has been met with whispers of other poines who seemed to forget the primary rule of a library: stay queit so others can focus on read or/and learning. Yet just as he was about to scold the two ponies, sitting at the next desk, their conversations caught his attention:

"Oh Celestia! Thats terrible news... i hope he gets better soon, that poor fool, Sugar Hoof. What did the doctors say?" Asked the mustard yellow coated unicorn, fidgeting with her amber tinted mane.

"they dont know a thing about this 'new sickness'. They insisted that Sugar hoof should stay in the ponyville hospital, until they figured out what this illnes, really is!" Explained the purple pegasus who wash shaking her head with a scowl.

Hex was intruged, he had some relatives and even friends in ponyville, but he was sure if it was really anything serious, Princess Twilight Sparkle will take care of it. Though maybe he should write a letter to Thunder Wing, whos currently staying in Ponyville.

After he managed to finally finish his essay, he put the books back he teleported to the desk unconsciously, while being focused on taking notes, and feeling like there was too little information in just one book. They put the essay in a folder and carfefully put it in their saddle bag. They grabbed a scroll and quill again and started writing the letter as they walked to the post office, making sure to ask about Thunder's knowlege about the sickness, and to ask around if he can and has time. Though considering the bat pony was training forthe trails of getting in the wonderbolt, he would be quiet busy...

The letter was finished just as Hex set a hoof in the post office, there a mailpony carefully orginazing different kinds of packages, scrolls, envelopes and greeting card alike. The pale red, tall unicorn with a expressionless face approached the counter levitating the letter, neatly wrapped up with a ribbon, to the wooden furniture.

"Good evening, i would like this letter to be sent to Ponyville, to Thunder Wing, at - i belive - the oak library," Hex stated, hoping to get this mailing done fast and cheap.

"Good evening to you too! I am sure that this letter will get there, by tomorrow morning by our trusty mailponies. It will only be 4 gold bits!" Responded the earth pony with a smile awaiting the tall ponies anwser, hoping it would be paying (and not arguing about the price like some ponies do) and maybe getting a tip too.

The Red maned pony just gave a glare, and with a huff, payed the full price. They turned, and left the post office, heading to their home to rest and hopefully avoid their proffesor while they put their essay in the collecting box. Bolide gladly climbs into the bed, putting their grey scarf and dark brown gown on the hanger with a swift and simple levation spell.

The next morning came way too fast for Hexes liking. The unicorn groaned at the suns ray's attacking his eyelids. He got up and quickly gave his mane and tail a speedy brush, while also commanding the scarf on his neck, after the brown gown had already warmed his fur covered body.

He made his way towards the school, entering the esthablisment with a grumpy, yet not unusual expression. His peers did not gave him the nickname "mr.Grumpy-Horse" for nothing. His magic swiftly opened the door of the classroom, and he sat down at his usual spot, - after he actually remembered to turn in his assigment - which was in the middle row right besides a window.

It wasnt long before classes started and he was by then, deeply focused on anything and everything that came out of the teachers mouth. Preforming and explaining spells one by one. The details, the process of learning it, the process of preforming it, and the causes of it; and the side effects it had if it was an unperfected spell.

Sooner than the pony could process, classes were already over. They put away all their notebooks, quills, and books ready to head home and study for the rest of the day and even 'till midnight. But when they made their way outside in the somewhat clouded city, their gaze was avarted towards royal guards blowings horns for everyponies attention.

"Everpony of Canterlot! Listen here, we have a incredibly important announcment for all mares, foals and gentlecoalts alike!" One guard shouted at the middle of the road before continuing. "Queen Celestia and Queen Luna had decided to over go the city, in a moon long quarantine!"

Ponies all across the road gasped in shock, and confusion. Whispers and muttering of disbelief began to start like a disease. Bolide Hex was, too shocked. A quarantine? Let along a year long? Thats definetly not something that is normal. Thankfully, somepony was thinking the same way he was.

"Why exactly are we put in quarantine? Did we get another theath?" The bold pegasus asked, waving a hoof as he flapped his wings to get above the crowd.

"Fear not! The closing of Canterlot is not due to a monster or villian attack, its reason is a illness. It is completly safe and harmless. All it does is cause great discomfort, so her Majesty's want for comfort of the ponies here, they cautiously made this choice." The pegasus guard answered before, the two of them flown of. Probably not wanting to answer more questions - or not being allowed to.

This was defeinetly more than just a "uncomfortable disease". If it was, the doctors would have already found a cure and/or medicien against it. And this is whole situation was surley connected to that new illnes others ponies are talking about again, right besides him.

"I need to get to Thunder immidietly. i need bits for the train though, and if i dont get back before lock down - which i doubt i will - , i need to pack a few things for my stay at Ponyville!" Hex brainstormed under their breath, already galloping back to their home, burtsing the door open, and magically teleporting every essential thing while grabbing their saddle bag with a hoof.

They put away quills, a book or two, food for today, 100 gold bits, 5 scrolls and for the last a mask. He forgot he ebven had this, but at this moment it seemed almost necessary to take. He put the saddle bag on and before he could rush out the door for the train station - where the last trains were probably deporting right now - he heard a knck on his door and a soft voice "Mailpony here!". Thunder Wing probably replied!

They took the scroll from the mailpony without a word and teleported a golden bit into their hoof, where the was a second ago. The pony blinked twice and couldnt even comprehend what happened fro a minute before realising, The pony he deliverd a letter to was already galloping away.

Hex was greatful for his long legs at this moment, like anyother time he needed to rush somewhere. He made it to the train station seeing the train about to depart, he rushed to the ticket pony and three gold bits before basically shouting at the pony across the counter.

"A ticket to Ponyville!" Hex screeched as his eyes darted between the train and the pony quickly giving him a ticket while taking the money.

Bolide's magic quickly took the ticket, while they hurried on the train as they heard the railway conductor yell: "All aboard! Last train to Ponyville departing!"

They managed to get on and breath a sigh of relief, as they sat down on the nearly full train. He looked out through the window, enyoing the scenery and thinking of a lot of things. Mostly his mind haunted him with this thought:

"Did i make the right choice leaving Canterlot?"
