It took very little time for Wolfheart to get to the town, but she landed back in the woods to observe things before entering. I wonder if they are hostile to outsiders? she thought to herself.

Ducking under some bushes, she noticed six female horses standing by the edge of the woods. The closest one to her was a violet unicorn with a purple and pink mane and tail, reading a book. Next to her was a normal horse with orange fur and yellow mane and tail. Beside that one was a white unicorn with a purple mane and tail who was fixing her solid violet mane. Another normal horse was next to her; this one had a hot pink mane and tail, and slightly duller pink body fur. Above those four Wolfheart saw a winged horse; a pegasus with blue fur and rainbow mane and tail. Next to the blue pegasus she saw another winged horse, this one pale yellow with a pale pink mane and tail.

The six ponies were apparently having a good time; Wolfheart could tell they were friends. Though she was tempted to eavesdrop, she decided against it. She would speak to the new ponies face to face. Trotting toward them with her head partly down so they could tell she was not a threat, she soon stood before the six. They immediately approached her, talking in excited voices.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!" said the pink horse. "You're new here! So you're invited to my party!" Pinkie pie started bouncing around like she was insane, and Wolfheart took a few steps back, confused by this pony's enthusiasm and boldness.

The next to approach was the orange-furred pony. "Ah'm Applejack," she said, "What's your name?" Though confused by the pony's accent, Wolfheart started to reply, but was interrupted by the white unicorn.

" My name is Rarity.May I ask what happened to your mane? And why is your fur all torn up? I know a good stylist..."

Wolfheart backed a bit further in the woods. She was nervous now; these ponies were too friendly and she was not used to that.

The blue pegasus dove down, landing in front of Wolfheart. " My name is Rainbow Dash. I have a couple questions too. Are you a pegasus? How come you have eagle claws?"

The next horse to step forward was the purple unicorn, who finally stopped looking at her book. "Good afternoon. My name is Twilight Sparkle. Who are you?"

Before Wolfheart could reply, all the ponies started talking at once, all excited, and she wanted to flee; their eagerness frightened her.

Suddenly the last pony, the yellow pegasus, spoke. "Stop it, all of you! Can't you tell you are scaring her?"

"Oh come on, Fluttershy," said Pinkie Pie, " She won't be scared when she sees my parties!"

This was too much for Wolfheart. She turned tail and bolted, though behind her she heard the yellow pegasus, apparently named Fluttershy, lecturing the other five. "Now you've done it! You scared her away!"

Wolfheart did not stop to look back; she kept running until she was deep in the forest, in a small clearing, where she stopped to rest.

I hope those aren't the Six in the prophecy- they scare me! I hope the Teller of Tales comes. She can explain...

She curled up in the middle of the Clearing with her tail around her body, trying to hide herself in the shadows.
