three killers, one goal.

After that mix-up with the royal guards, I’ve headed to the meeting area in the Everfree Forest, just outside of Ponyville. I fly down to the spot the cave where we said that we would meet up. After I found the cave I entered it to see if they have arrived yet

“Hey guys! you here?” I shouted, but then I realized that I should be more careful, so I began to speak at a normal tone, just in case anypony was listening near by.

“If you are here, give me a sign, maybe a rock drop, or a small noise or a-“ I was cut short by the feeling that somepony was behind me, but moving quickly. I turn just in time to catch a green hoof right before it hit me in the head - they had jumped me from the roof of the cave - I grabbed the hoof and swung it and it’s pony right into the floor of the cave with a loud *THUMP*. I turn to face anypony else, but I immediately regret that decision as the pony I had just flipped had tripped me, and I fell onto the ground as a red pony dropped from the roof and landed on top of me, just missing my chest. I kick him off and he falls onto the ground in front of me. Remembering the pony on the ground, I turn around at blinding speeds, grab him, and toss him onto the other pony.

“Owch, man you didn’t have to go that hard on us!” Said the green pony.

“Yea, I guess you still haven’t lost your skills.” Said the red pony.

“Sorry bout’ that guys. Scorch, your back ok?” I had asked. The two ponies that had attacked me were none other than my two best friends, Scorch, a colt with a dark red coat and a bright red mane, and a large flame as a cutie mark, and Camo, a mare - yes I said mare - with a deep green coat and beautiful brown, green, and black mane, and some leaves as a cutie mark. We are all pegasi. They have been my great friends ever since I was young, we lived right next to each other in a nice town on the outside of Manehatten, and we would go exploring in the forests behind our houses.

-Back to the present-

“Yea, I’m fine. You know that we can take a beating Shade, but next time, don’t use your ‘special magic’ on us, ok? I will never know how or where you learned that. Hey Camo, you good? Almost forgot about you, hehe.” Said Scorch.

“Yes I’m perfect, in more ways than one. Now can we get to the point of why we came here?” Asked Camo.

“Alright, lets get down to business.” As I said this, I opened a map of Ponyville and all around it. “This is where we are,” I point to a spot in the Everfree forest, directly to the right of Ponyville. “This is where we will enter, remember our makeshift identities everyone?” I asked them, they nodded together, but they did want one quick recap. “Ok, we are traveling storytellers. We are wandering about Equestria when we end up there, out of food, water, and supplies. We are going to find a place to stay somewhere for about a week or longer, depending on how long we are going to wait to put our plan into action. From there we are going to try to make friends with Twilight’s friends. Becoming close with them, makes us close to everyone on top - the princesses - and Twilight herself. Then we will plan from there, got it?” They nodded.

“We got everything, so, when do we leave for Ponyville?” Asked Scorch.

“We leave tomorrow morning, until then, get some sleep.” After I said this, we all flew up to the roof of the cave, found a ledge, - just in case any wanderers or enemies come into the cave - took out our sleeping bags, and fell asleep. Me snuggled in with Camo, and Scorch across the way. Tomorrow, our journey into Ponyville begins.
