Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterNOTE: So then I though to myself... "Screw it" and decided to make a new plot! Sorry about the other chapters though...
Ezio was staring at the golden apple with his eyes wide open wondering if he should take it or not."No... You will stay here... I have seen enough for one life." he said to himself. The artifact started to glow beams of bright light. The beams were shining all around the dark and hidden library. Ezio was being pulled in by a mysterious force toward the Apple of Eden. He checked his surroundings the dust was being pulled in as well. He fell on his back and he was slowly sliding in on it. His hook blade extended and it grasped on a crack on the floor. The Apple was now a vacuum pulling in winds at great speeds, Ezio's legs were now being pulled up. The fluttering of his outfit can now be heard. He took a peek over his shoulder and saw a black hole with a yellow ring as an exterior. The yellow beams were transforming into red, the yellow ring was now red as well. SNAP! his hook blade detached and he was sent flying towards the black hole.
Twilight Sparkle was stargazing on a hill just outside of Ponyville with her assistant, Spike. He brought a wagon with books that categorized comets, stars, and planets for Twilight. He also brought a bowl of punch, a picnic blanket, and a few gems for himself. Twilight carried the telescope herself. "Say Twilight, why did we come her again?" Spike asked.
"We're here because a meteor shower is happening soon" Twilight replied while setting up her telescope.
"Something doesn't feel right..."
"Yeah? Like what?" Twilight asked.
"Well it's just this gut fe-BU-URP!" A green flame exited Spike's mouth and transformed into a letter. "Ugh... It's for you Twi-hiccup-light" she chuckled and levitated the letter towards her.
Dear Twilight Sparkle,
I know you are going to watch tonight's meteor shower that my younger sister arranged, but I need you and the other elements to come to Canterlot Castle tomorrow afternoon. I will explain everything there. Also, Luna wants to have a word with you about the "bird" incident.
From,
Princess Celestia
"That's weird..." Twilight thought aloud.
"What's weird?" Spike asked.
"Oh, um, nothing" she turned her head towards the telescope and trotted to it. "Oh isn't it wonderful Spike?" Twilight spoke while looking through her telescope.
"Hm? Oh, yeah" Spike didn't really care, he had his eyes on those gems. Something caught Twilight's eye, something dark. It was free-falling, it wasn't long until she spotted a face. "What in Equestria is that?"
Ezio opened his eyes, regaining conciseness. He felt wind, lots of wind. He was falling, Ezio immediately moved his hand to his large pouch. He felt he had at least three parachutes left, he pulled it out and held the two ropes tightly. The parachute opened and gave him a slight rope burn. While drifting downwards, Ezio couldn't see through the layer of clouds. As soon as he did a balcony appeared in front of him. His feet slammed onto the balcony's railing, sending him face first onto the floor. He got up and rubbed his nose, a small drop of blood appeared on his finger. Looking down from the balcony, he realizes he's on the highest tower of a castle. He knows it's going to take a while to get down, and seeing that he can't jump or climb off it, he's going to have to descend from the interior. He opened the balcony doors and it revealed a descending spiral staircase with torches along the wall. He took a step on the stairs and started his descent.

He stopped and pushed the door open, he peeked his head out to see if anything was around. A dimly lit hallway was on both sides of him. The hallway seemed to go on forever. He stepped out and began walking to the right side of the hallway. The windows were at least two meters apart from each other with the moonlight shining through. He heard footsteps and ran quickly to the wall, each step on the wall pushed him upward until he jumped after his third step, while in the air he reached his arms out to a chandelier, one of his arms successfully grabbed onto it and his other arm missed, he pulled himself up and positioned himself in a comfortable crouch on the chandelier. Two stallions in golden armor were trotting along the hallway. Ezio wondered why there were horses inside a building. Seeing them as no potential threat, he let them trot further into the hallway before dropping silently. He decided to walk the other way instead.
(Eight minutes later)
After a series of lefts and rights, he finally found the exit, which was the front door. The door was huge, no doubt it would make a noise when he opened it so he had to be ready. He heard more hoof steps behind him, coming closer and closer. He burst through the doors and ran towards a pile of hay. He heard the hoof steps, then more, then more, then more... They just didn't stop coming. He heard a lot of shouting and yelling "What made that noise?!" or "Who is responsible for this?!" of course the accents weren't Italian, they sounded more buff. He stayed in the hay until the shouting disappeared. He removed some hay out of the way of his eyes so he could see what was going on. No one was around anymore, he jumped out and moved towards the gates. They were closed but he could climb over the wall next to them. He ran up the wall and grasped onto ledge, he pulled himself over and jumped off. He entered a town which more colorful than Constantinople. He noticed the houses and shops were close to each other so he decided to run atop the rooftops instead of the streets. He saw a ramp that was close to a rooftop. He showed a small grin. He positioned himself in a stance like he was ready to race, he started to run, gaining speed, the ramp was about eleven meters away now. Going faster, he ran up the ramp and jumped to the rooftop. He didn't notice, but a young colt was looking from below in awe. Ezio landed and rolled to avoid ant injury. He kept on running, jumping across the rooftops from time to time.
(Three minutes later)
Ezio came to a halt after he reached the last house. He noticed that this was the end of the town. He jumped off the two-story building and landed in hay. A cobblestone road was ahead of him, a large arch was over the road. Ezio did not mind. While walking, he pulled his journal and began writing. He wrote for about a minute before stopping and putting his journal back in one of his many pouches. A sign stood in front of him one, pointing left, and the other right, the left said "Everfree Forest", right said "Ponyville". He took the right path and headed towards Ponyville. "What an odd name"
Note:Okay! How was it? I admit the first one was crappy, next chapter should be out... After I'm done writing this! Which is... Now!
