Darkness. That was all there was. The creature didn't know how long he had been here or where he was for that matter. The creature suspected at least two months had passed. Its dark everywhere, well except for it's necklace. It was a red crystal with string strapped around it. It was the only light source here. The crystal glows with unknown powers that could be dangerous,but for some reason it seems as though the creature knew what it can do. The creature frowns. The creature knew that he has used this thing before, but he just don't know how. Its getting really boring around here. The creature thought this would never end, but he was sorely mistaken. The darkness pealed away slowly as if it was melting. Everything changed. The scene the creature was now looking at was a forest. A dark one at that. From the looks of the sky it was probably midnight. The creature felt a pouch strapped around it's waist. He looked inside and found a weeks supply of meat (surprisingly the pouch can keep a weeks worth of meat as fresh as the day you put it in as long as you want). Also a piece of paper that said "Your name: Dray Morningstar. Species: Dragon/Changeling. Powers: Unknown. Age: Thirteen." Dray didn't know what a changeling was, but he am sure about the rest. He tucked the paper in his pouch and set of in some unknown direction.

Three hours later. Dray haven't gotten out of the forest just yet. Slowly he started to smell something. It was a slightly bitter smell that carried the scent of death. 'Oh Crap'. Dray rushed to past bushes and trees to come to a very disturbing site. It was a griffon....a badly wounded griffon. She had a broken wing, the top half of her beak had a ship missing, and she had a deep cut almost everywhere. I didn't know what to do. Dray started to panic. Just then Dray's necklace glowed a light green color. He had a flashback

Dray was in a scene exactly like this before. He was sitting next to a badly wounded griffon. With arms held towards her. His hands started to glow a bright green light. Slowly the wounds started to close. Relief started to wash over him. The griffon would be safe now.

The flash back ended and Dray knew what he had to do. He held out his claws as a feeling soon washed over me. Streams of light green waves wrapped around the griffon. Dray could see her cuts slowly and black stuff coming out of them. 'I guess that the cuts were infected' Dray thought. Her wing snapped back into place and then she woke up from the intense pain. The light green glow faded while Dray's crystal returned to It's normal color.

"Urgh what did you do to me dweeb." the griffon demanded sounding very weak. "Don't talk. You need all of your strength to get out of here. Your wounds aren't fully healed so take it easy." Dray warned the griffon. She tried to stand up, but fell right back down due to her pain. Dray felt sorry for the poor thing. He went over and picked her up, putting her left arm over his right shoulder. "What do you think you doing dweeb. Put me down now or I'm going ....to.....kill you." She mumbled as she went in and out of consciousness . Dray smiled "Well your just going to have to kill me then. Your hurt and with no one else around here you need medical help. Do you know the nearest town." He asked. She was just quiet. They walked slowly because of the fact that the griffon's hind legs were sore from the healing process. Dray didn't notice this before, but this griffon had some purple feathers around her eyes and some purple on the tips of her top feathers.

Dray put the griffon on the ground. "What...are...you..doing?" She asked. Clearly she was tired as crap. "I'm collecting fire wood." Was Dray's response. After a few minutes he had collected a decent pile of fire wood. 'Now if only I could lite it.' he thought. Dray's necklace glowed red. It flashed a red light into the surroundings around them until it landed on a spot a few feet away

Dray found two stones sitting a where the light spotted. 'I hope this works." Dray thought as he went to go pick up the rocks. Dray rubbed the two stones together then smashed them together. A couple of sparks flew out onto the firewood where it caught on fire almost instantly. Dray sat down and pulled out some meat. Pushed a stick threw it and roasted it over the fire. The smell of meat cooking filled the air. It was at least half an hour before it was ready. Dray took half and gave the other half to the griffon. We ate in silence, until the griffon spoke. "Gilda." She said softly. "What?" Dray asked. "My name is Gilda. The closest town is Ponyville. A place full of dweebs and I don't want to talk about the rest. If we continue to follow those blue flowers," Gilda pointed to a patch of blue flowers. "We should get there soon." Gilda finished. Dray thought it over for a minute."Nice to meet you Gilda. My name is Dray Morningstar." He said. Gilda nodded and headed off to dreamland. Dray stayed up a little while longer. He started to smell something. He smelt water. Maybe a yard away. Dray walked over to it.

With the pale moonlight and the light from the fire Dray was able to see his features. He was most definetly a dragon, but he had an exoskeleton as well as an endoskeleton. Dray's exoskeleton was pure black, he also had a red part on his back. It didn't look like blood.He hope it wasn't. Dray also had black, long, spiky hair that went down my spine and onto my tail.

The next two things really surprised him. He had fur on his claws. Grey fur to be precise. Next were his eyes. They were a golden yellow. It took all of Dray's will power to not fall victim to there powers. He had to get back to the campsite for tomorrow they head for Ponyville.
