Pondera is not a normal pony. He needs to protect the ponies around him by keeping peace between all

Their are four giant islands that have been war between them for centuries. In the center of all the islands rest one that has a tower that over sees the islands shores. Each island held ponies that had special that was able to bend the elements. Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. When one war stopped another started. Each island thinks that they should rule all of the islands. At the start of each war a pony has walked down the stairs to help balance the islands by keeping peace between them. In this war a pony name Pondera is the one that will protect the lands, but he is the only one that has a different aspect. If he can not keep peace around him the mark on his forehead turns black and his evil side shows wanting to keep the war unbalanced.

Will Pondera be able to keep the balance between the lands before things get to dangerous to control? Will this war end before Pondera has to go? Will this be the last war?

P.s. if you do not mind me asking, but may you not pin down every grammatical error and spelling mistakes. Please enjoy the story for the idea.

Chapter1: The start of a new hope.

Pondera open his eyes to see that he is in a bed room. After sitting up in the bed he looks around the room. All it had was a bed, a closet, three tables, a window that let light into the room and a door that was shut. When Pondera makes his way out of the bed a voice is heard. It sounds as if it comes from the heavens, "Pondera... You are the holder if balance in this world... The Terra land is trying to take over the other three islands... You must make sure they do not make it to the other islands and take them over... Your stuff are in the other room... When you are suited up then head to the northern part of the island... A boat will be waiting for you in the water... Now start your adventure my son... The worlds peace rest upon your shoulders..." the voice fades away. Pondera stands up when the voice is gone.

Pondera walks into the other room seeing a ponikin (manikin) standing next to the door with white rings around the front legs and black rings around the back. On the shoulders rested a brown vest. Laying in front of it was a small staff like thing. He walks over to it and slides the rings off the legs. He slides them onto his legs as they fit perfectly around him. Then he pulls the vest off off if the ponikin and on to him. Just like the rings around his legs, it fit perfectly on his chest. When he finished putting on the things that where on the ponikin, he picks up the small staff. The staff grew to a Bowie Staff.

"This is a strange staff..." Pondera said out loud in the empty room. As he turns to the door a dark green amulet hung from a hook on the door, "Pondera... To be able to get back into this tower... You will need the powers of all the Element Stones to return home... You till the silver moon set to return... Be careful out their my son..." the voice spoke again. Pondera took a moment to get ready. He grabbed the amulet then put it on his shoulders. As the door opens in front of him the light of the sun shinned. Placing a hoof to block some of the light to see what is around him. Taking a few steps out with his Bowie Staff next to him the door shut.

'I need to head north... But what way is north...' Pondera asked himself. After a few minuets of thinking he looks up to the sky. The clouds where moving to right, "North should be this way." he tells himself as he makes his way to the north part of the island. After a small walk he comes across a boat tied to the shore. Pondera walks over to the boat. A rock was holing the other side of the rope that was holding the boat from wondering in the endless sea. Their was no way for him to untie the boat free because their was no knot to the boat nor to the rock. Pondera can tell this is his first test.

Pondera stand looking at the rock. He steps to it and moves his hooves to the rock bending the rock off the rope. It moved freeing the boat from the land. Pondera jumps into the boat as it starts to let the boat flow into the open water. After some time of wondering in the vast water, Pondera turns to the back of the boat and sway his hooves from the front to the back. He forces the water push the boat forward to the one of the islands.

In the distance Pondera sees an island. He pushes the water harder to the island. When he makes it to the island in fount of him are two ponies. He turns around and pull up a rock to stop the boat from wondering off. As he finishes, he turns around seeing the two ponies looking at him. Pondera picks up his bowie staff from the boat, "Hello. My name is Pondera. Do you know what island we are on?" he asked looking at both of them. They look at Pondera, "Well I am Sinistra and my brother Dextera." the red pony said walking behind Pondera to look at the boat. The blue pony follows, but on the other side, "Are you the new one?" he asked, "Yes. May you tell me what island I am on please?" Pondera watching them. They look at each other and smiles.

Dextera looks to the left, "We are near Aeris." Sinistra stands next to Pondera, "Aeris is far from here. We are near Ignis." Sinistra said leading Pondera to the woods. Dextera pulls Pondera back to him going the other way, "No Aeris is over here." he said as Sinistra stops them. Pondera brakes away from them, "I really need to know where to go. Can one of you tell me where to go?" he asked looking at them both. They smile and speak at the same time, "One of us is telling you the truth, but the other one is telling a lie." they stand next to the other. Pondera tilts his head, "Well can the one telling the truth tell me if the other is lying?" he asked looking at them back and forth. Dextera, "We can not tell you." Sinistra sits, "And one of us can not lie twice." he says as he looks around.

Pondera looks them wondering on how to get one of them to tell the truth, "I if I head that way what island would I come across?" he asked pointing north." Dextera looks, "That will be Aeris." he said as Sinistra stands up, "No that will be Ignis." he said looking at Pondera, "Then what island would I get to if I went their?" Pondera asked pointing to the east. Sinistra speaks, "That would be Aquais." Dextera gets next to Pondera, "No it isn't. Ignis." he said smiling. Pondera smiles back, "I think Sinistra is lying. So Aeris is that way." he said pointing north.

Pondera bows at them and starts to head north, "Thank you." he said as he walks. After an hour of walking across the hilly lands, he comes across a small house sitting on the side of a lake. A watermill was spinning though the running water. As Pondera makes his way to the house. As he knocks on the door, "Hello?" he asked looking around to see if anypony was inside. When he looked back at the door it started to open showing an older stallion.

Chapter2: Meeting Ango.

Pondera looks at the pony that just open the door, "Hello sir. I am..." the stallion interrupted Pondera before he was able finish, "I don't care who you are. What do you want. I'm a vary busy pony and I have a lot of work to do." he said in a vary angry voice. Pondera just looks at him, "I won't take much time. I just need to know how far is Aries for here?" he asked. The stallion turns around, "Why should I know. I don't have anything to do with that place." the stallion told Pondera as he closes the door. Pondera takes a minuet to think, "If you can tell me where Aries is I would be more then happy to help you out." he tells the stallion though the door. After a few moments the door opens back up, "I guess if you really want to help then come in. Don't waste my time." he said as she walks over to the grinding wheal spinning around.

Pondera looks at the wheal, "If you don't mind me asking, but what do you do?" he asked looking to the other side of the room seeing a furnace, "I grow random crops and make food then sell them to the villages near by." he said walking to a door on the far side of the room, "Come here and help me with this crate. Your going to un-lode it into the grinder as I go and check up on my crops." he said holding one side of the crate. Pondera places his staff leaning on the wall as he walks over to the crate with the stallion next to it.

They lift the crate and head to the grinding wheal, "Just throw the wheat in and pull the lever on the other side around. It is vary heavy." the stallion told Pondera as he started to walk out to the crops outside. Pondera looks at the wheal. It has a few cracks at a few spots and it looks like it would come off at any moment. It is easy to tell that he has been working at this for a long time. Pondera takes a few steps outside before opening the crate. He looks at the ground and grabs a few rocks that where sitting around. He walks back inside and holds a rock at one of the cracks and forms the rock into the wheal. After a few minuets Pondera make the wheal look bran new.

Pondera throws the last rocks back outside. He opens the crate that is full of wheat. After throwing a good amount around the sides. Then Pondera stand up moving his hooves to the side as the wheal starts to move. After a few minuets if pulling the wheal around to make wheat into flower. After about a half hour the stallion walks in, "How far are you." he said looking to the side. Pondera finishes the third crate, "I finished three crates for you. I wanted to get you when I finished the first one, but I looked back and found more crates labeled the same." he said as he grabs his staff. The stallion looks surprised, "That would take me about three hours to finish that. How did you do it so fast?" he asked looking in the crates, "I just fixed your wheal and just pulled it around." he replied standing at the door, "I also fixed your furnace." he added.

The stallion looks over at his furnace, "I was about to replace it. How did you fix all of this in the little time?" he asked looking at Pondera, "I am able to bend the elements. So I just grabbed a few rocks and fixed the cracks and chip offs." he told the stallion as he stands smiling, "So if you can you help and tell me where Aries is?" he asked looking at the stallion, "Well I don't know to get up their. My son can help you. He can also bend elements. He is never home because he thinks I look at him differently, but i do wish he didn't have the powers time to time..." he said looking down, "Hes in the town about a mile north of here. He lives in the first house when you enter. His name is Ango." he added as he starts to move the crates back to the storage room.

Pondera bows, "Thank you sir." he said as he starts to head to the town. The wind blows lightly as Pondera walks though a flat land that looked as if it stretched for miles on end, "I should see it soon." Pondera said looking up in the sky. The sun is starting to walk behind a few clouds that walk around the sky. After some time of walking Pondera finds a town in sight. When he makes it to the town he turns to the first house he sees. He knocks on the door with his hoof, "Hello?" he said looking around. He finds a note on the floor. He picks it up and reads it, 'Be back before sunset.'. Pondera looks around, "What should I do to pass the time..." he said looking around. He sits down and rest his staff in front of him as he put his front together and closes his eyes.

He feels an energy flow around him as his mind empty's out. The energy feels like a cool wind flowing around him. "Hey who are you?" Pondera hears when he open his eyes, "Well are you going to tell me who you are or what?" he said as he messes with his goggles, "I'm sorry. I was waiting for the pony who lived here." he replied as he stands up picking up his staff, "My name is Pondera and i'm looking for Ango. Are you him?" he asked looking at him. The white pony looks back at him, "I'm Ango... What do you want?" he asked, "Well I was told that you can help me get to Aries. May you help me? I'll pay you back if you want." he said. Ango looks at him, "Well I just came back from Aries. If you come back tomorrow then i'll take you. I'm going to be going early so better get here vary early." Ango replied to Pondera and he starts to walk into his house, "Could I spend the night here. I don't have a house. I won't take much room." he told Ango as walks into his house, "You'll have to sleep on the couch." he replied.

Pondera follows Ango into his house. In the house wasn't much. It looks like their was just a few rooms max, "I'll get you a pillow and a blanket." Ango tells Pondera as he walks over to the closet. When get grabs a blanket and pillow for Pondera he give them to him, "Get some rest. We are going at sun rise." he tells Pondera as he walks to one of the rooms. Pondera takes off his vest and places it on the back of the couch as he rest his staff on the floor next to the couch. He places the pillow onto the couches arm as he lays on it. He pulls the blanket over him and starts to fall asleep. As the night pass Pondera sleeps quietly and rest for the next day.
