Prologue : New mare in town.

“Such a lovely place!” said the mare carrying enormous bags on her back, wandering around just like a normal tourist. She had unique appearance however very unusual cutie mark; it looks like some sort of very deep azure magic seal with ancient letters and her Ivory coat really made it stands out, a light breeze blew her long silky straight mane which gradient from light brilliant gold at the root to pure white at the end, her dark azure eyes are unusual bright as if they have magic captured within. While walking, she felt a little strange by how others looked at her and giggled, so she turned back and found her bags split into pieces from over package, she got panicked and ran back the way she came. The mare walked around but could not find anything, she was tired, and her hooves were painful as if it could it would tear down to pieces already.

The mare sat down with teary eyes before she spotted little pebbles on the ground; they joggled, she turned around and found ‘bull stampede’. Her eyes opened wide and off she goes, just galloped as fast as a pony could do.

On the other side,  Rainbowdash saw the stampede and rushed to Applejack, ponies ran around and hid in their houses or shelter. As soon as Applejack heard about the stampede, she rushed out with Rainbowdash and Winona. Applejack and her crew reached the place in no time, they were very surprised when they saw the mare ran in front of it, however the bulls were mysteriously wild and furious, the mare needed help and now.

Applejack ran out although she never encountered these bulls before, when she and Winona got in position, they started to herd them like they used to do; Applejack and Winona pushed the bulls into the line and jump over to the front. On the second before she jumped down, the bulls crashed in to her, Applejack flew like a tin can and hit a tree so Winona ran off too. The mare saw Applejack fainted and the stampede will hit Ponyville in any minute.

“I don’t want this to happened again” she cried.

The mare’s tears flowed from her eyes and hit the ground, seems like things could not get worst but unfortunately she tripped. She looked back at the stampede, she closed her eyes and breathed pleasantly. A little while had passed but the mare still sit there, she wonder why the stampede did not reached her yet so she opened her eyes and shocked, everything around her stopped just like statues. The mare stood up, she looked around and even touched things but it still did not moved, she started to panicked so she ran back to Ponyville. In silent, she heard a whisper, a whisper with warmth and tenderness spoke something to her.

“No fear my fair sister, I shalt keep thou safe and sound” said the whisper.

“Me? Who are you….who am I!” the mare shouted.

“For thou who seek for thy past must be waited but for these poor souls must be saved”

“How will I save them? Why I have to wait?” the mare lowered her voice down, she sigh then lowered her head down. In silence, she sniff and almost cried. "I...I wanted to forget, why do you keep haunting me?"

"Thou art true wonder my sister, our precious" the whisper slowly faded away.

“This is what you do to your sister, your precious? Answer me!” the mare raised her voice and shouted furiously. "Answer me! You ruin my life enough, answ...arrgh"

The mare got a sudden headache, she breathes heavily and could not even stand straight. Her eyes glowed with pale, light grayish azure magic aura, magic seals of various sizes appeared around her in every directions, at last she burst out wide range of magic sphere, consumed and covered everything in bright light. Afterwards, everything turned back to normal, no bulls stampede, Applejack woke up unhurt, and the mare fainted.

When she woke up and found herself in a barn, she quickly prepared for leaving but could not find her bags anywhere. Barn’s door opened and there stood a little filly; Applebloom.

“Oh! You’re awake, Grany smith is fixin’ your thing. Come!” said Applebloom as they walked out of the barn.

“Thank you but that wouldn't be necessary” said the mare.

“Then at least meet my family, you were amazing out there with the stampede”

“Stampede?”

The mare could not remember anything, she just looked at Applebloom and remained silent. Applebloom noticed that the mare looked very confused and started to mumbling something to herself.

“Are you alright? Anything wrong?” asked Applebloom.

“No, nothing wrong, it's just that I...I couldn't remember it”

“Maybe because you’re just awake, I’m Applebloom so what’s your name?”

“It’s Freesia”

As the two were talking, Freesia heard the whisper again but this time it was cold and demonic. She tried to ignore it but she could not, it was getting louder and louder, saying something she could not understand. Freesia shaked her head a little and the whisper was gone, Applebloom noticed Freesia's strange action, she started to feel worried about this new mare. Applebloom kindly asked Freesia again.

"Uhhmm...If you are sick or don't feel well, you can always tell me" said Applebloom.

"Oh! Thank you but I'm fine, it's just that I have a he..."

"POOM!"

A haystack mysteriously exploded, Freesia leaped out, told Applebloom not to get near it but she was way too curious so she ran into a haystack. As Applebloom broke into a pile of hay, she saw something shaking, it seemed to be something quite big. Freesia was worried so she walked in to get Applebloom out, she sensed something in a haystack, something scary, something she had always been afraid of. Applebloom stared at mysterious shaking object when Freesia came in and pulled Applebloom out immediately. The object stopped shaking, Freesia went in to haystack again, she found pitchfork on a barrel
