It was a dark and stormy day in ponyville as many ponies rush into their houses to escape the oncoming weather, yet through all the chaos of rushing ponies, no-one noticed the mysterious hooded figure enter the town. As this stranger wandered through the town he seemed to be oblivious to the rushing ponies and easily weaved his way through the madness as if he encountered this often, yet in spite of this seemingly difficult task he seemed to unfocused as he bobbed and weaved through the crowd seemingly in deep thought as he unknowingly wandered into a crossroad.

The stranger realized this and quickly skidded to a halt, just as he did so a rushing by in a carage nearly flattened him as it rushed by. "That wouldn't have ended well for me..." muttered the stranger. Now that the stranger was standing stil, many passing ponies finally noticed him and gave him strange looks, but the majority of them still ignored him. As he waited for the cart traffic to thin-out, the wind picked up speed and the rain became heavier. "Nice weather they have here" grumbled the stranger. The storm became more violent by the minute and soon the dirt roads of ponyville became a muddy swamp, littered with hoof and cart prints, yet the cloaked figure still stood waiting for a chance to cross.

The stranger frowned, "this could be dangerous" he exclaimed to himself, but no sooner did the words leave his lips did he hear panicked scream from a pony leading a large wooden carrage down the dirt road, the pony seemed to have been going too fast when leading the cart and lost control of the carrage, but the driver couldn't keep up and was now a screaming bumper pinned to the cart by the sheer speed of the vehicle. The cart was approaching quickly toward the intersection, the stranger stiffened, "everypony run quickly! There's a loose carrage headed this way!" He screamed over the thunder and rain.

As soon as everpony realized this they began to panic and scatter, "please everyone remain calm, and don't panic!" Yelled the stranger, no-one listened to him, "dammnit!" He yelled, he quickly searched for a way to stop the carraige, but he was torn from from his thoughts when he heard a voice yelling over the rain, trying to calm the crowed, he turned to see a purple female unicorn, running around trying to get someponies attention, but no-one listed, they were too frightened, attempting to escape the oncoming accident, as she was yelling, she failed to see an oncoming cart, "look out!" Yelled the stranger, but it was too late, the cart nicked her side and she screamed in pain as she he the ground dazed, she was now in the direct path of the oncoming carraige, which was now only a few yards away.

The strangers eyes widened, "DAMMIT!" Cursed then made a desperate dash to save her, the crraige was now a yard away as he dived in it's path, grabbed the uincorn and rolled away, just as the carraige zoomed past. Now the cloak was missing and the stranger was now clearly visible, he was a unicorn pony with white fur, a slicked back yellow mane with a single strand of hair hanging in front of his right eye, he wore a pair of round glasses and he had a single grey feather tucked behind his ear and cutie mark was a single silver quill.

After a few moments the stranger realized he was still holding the purple unicorn and quickly let go and picked himself up off of the ground slightly embarressed, as he was about to check on her wounds however he stopped and stared at her only just now taking in her apperance, she was definetly a unicorn pony, she had light purple fur, a dark purple mane with pink streaks in it, and her cutie mark was that of a sparkling pink star, the stranger stood there for a few moments staring at her in a trance, he was surprised at how attractive she was, even covered in mud she made his tounge drag on the floor.

Only too late did he notice she was doing the same with him, he shook his head and blushed slightly, "forgive me for staring" he said cooly still blushing, she awoke from her own trance, also blushing, "that's ok, my names twilight sparkle, whats yours?" The strangeres face then went serious "you don't need to know" he then turned to leave, but was stopped by a light purple wall of energy, the stranger paused and raised an eyebrow, "you can't just save my life and just walk away from me without telling me your name!" Said twilight sternly.

The stranger rolled his eyes, "watch me" he said after walking around the energy wall, but after about two steps, she appeared in front of him in a flash of light, "I'm not moving until you tell me your name!" Said twilight in an annoyed tone. "Your full of surprises aren't you?" Said the stranger now a little impressed. "Why won't you answer my question?" "Who are you?" And you'd better answer me this time. The stranger looked amused, "and why would I do that?" Twilight grinned, Because if you have a problem telling one girl your name then what would happen if the whole town of people asked you for it? "What are you talking abo- he stopped and looked around to see a now calm group of curious ponies walking towards them.

His eyes widened, "fine you win, but only on one codition." Twilight raised an eyebrow, "what would that be?" He smirked, "don't blink." "Wha-" was all she said before he dissapeared in a flash of light. Twilight looked around to see herself now alone, "that lying little- she stopped when she saw a silver feather left in place of the stranger, was all it was, but for her it was more than enough. I've gotta find spike.

Twilight panted as she entered the library, exhausted from the rush to get there, "SPIKE!" She yelled from the doorway, he jumped and screamed, but turned around to see it was just twilight. "Wow, you don't have to yell I'm right here." Twilight smiled sheepishly, "sorry." "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost." Asked spike, twilight then had an urgent look on her face, "I'll tell you the details later, but right now I want you to get a letter ready" "what for?" " I have a message for princess celestia." Said twilight hurridly. Spike nodded, "ok, I'm ready."Dear princess celestia, somthing strange happened in ponyville today, first- a storm started and no weather pony was in sight to stop it from causing any damage, the storm caused a cart to lose control and nearly kill a few ponies and me. Two- I was saved by a strange pony who just entered ponyville. I'm afraid he might cause trouble, and would appreciate your advice. Your faithful student, twilight sparkle. As twilight finished her sentence spike rolled up the scroll and sent it out with his flames.

A few minutes later, a reply came from the princess, "what does it say?" Asked twilight in suspense. Spike opened the letter and began to read alloud, "Dear twilight sparkle, this is indeed troubeling news and I will look into it immediatly, but before I do, do you know this stallions name? Your mentor princess celestia. Twilight hesitated before giving the silver feather to spike to send to celestia. After a few minutes with no reply, twilight got worried "maybe she thinks im pranking her?" Said twilight softly, but not long after she said that a flash of blinding light engulfed the room, but after a moment, the lights faded revealing a worried looking celestia, "twilight, find the others, I have grave news."

An hour later, twilight returned to the library with all her friends following close behind, as twilight entered the library however, princess celestia was no longer alone, but insteade speaking with the stallion who saved her, twilight stared at the stallion in shock, "WHEN DID HE GET HERE!? AND MORE IMPORTANTLY HOW DID HE FIND WHERE I LIVE!?" Yelled twilight in a panic. Celestia looked away from the stranger to look twilight and her friends, "I'm glad you all could come, I would like you to meet silverquill, he's an old student and friend of mine."
"He's here in ponyville to find the perfect adventure and make it into a book and trust me when I say, he may have just found it." Said celestia seriously.

Twilight looked confused, "friend!? Student!? book!? When I told you about him earlier, you said he meant grave news!?" Celestia simply shook her head, "no twilight, I said I 'have' grave news, but he is connected to the problem if it makes you feel anybetter." The stranger now revealed as silverquill, then walked up to twilight, "are you still mad ant me for the name thing? Because if you are, then I want you to know that I'm sorry for being rude, and I hope you can forgive me." Silver then stuck out his hoof for a hoofshake.

After a few moments of hesitation, twilight accepted his hoof and shook it blushing slightly, "eerr... oo kkaayy?" Said twilight unceartanly. Silverquill let go quickly, but before he could walk away rainbow dash stopped him, "you don't look too sorry to me." Said rainbow angrely. Silver quill then smirked slyly, your rainbow dash right?" Rainbow eyed him suspiciously, "yeah, why have you heard of me?" Silver quill was still grinning, "as a matter of fact I have, I heard your the slowest pegasus in all of equestria."

As soon as those words left his lips, rainbow growled angrily and pounces onto him. "Wanna say that again, blondie? " she said angrily "rainbow, calm down" twilight said "he didn't mean it!" Rainbow dash jumped up and glared at her "that's total bull, and you know it" she said "your just defending your new boyfriend!" As twilight's head turned red with embarassment, silver quill's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates. "A-at least we know she likes stallions" silver stammered. Rainbow dash looked ready to explode."ENOUGH!!" Celestia commanded "this is no time to argue, I have vital information you all need to hear" celestia sighed "I was not telling the truth when I said the elements of harmony are the most powerful force in equstria, there is power that rivals it." At this point, the room was silent.

Everyone was shocked, everyone but silver quill that is. Silver smirked "you didn't tell them, nice job there" celestia ignored him and continued speaking "they are the elements of heroism, silver is the element of justice." Silver glared at her "way to spoil my dramatic speech princess." Applejack gasped "wait one applebuckin' minute here, yer sayin there are five more ponies like him out there, and we have no clue where ta find em?" Silver quill laughed "I doubt they are anything like me redneck, and who said they are all ponies?" All eyes were on him, with varying levels of anger and shock. "Everypony calm down, silver quills right, the other elements are out there and they could be anything, so you must learn to get along with silver quill." Said celestia calmly.

"I don't care weather they hate me or not, right now all I care about is getting some sleep." Silver yawned, "ok princess, let's get to canterlot, I think I have just enough bits to book a royal sweet for the night." Celestia glared at silver quill for a moment, before a cruel smile came across her face. Silver quill had a scared look on his face, "eerr... what are thinking about doing? Celestia smile widened, "silver you will stay here with twilight" said celestia with a hint of amusement.

"WHAT!?" Yelled twilight and silver at the same time. "Dammit celestia! You know why I can't do that!" Twilight tilted her head, "why not?" Asked twilight confused. Silver glared at celestia, "don't worry your pretty little head about it." Said silver before storming out of the library. Twilight blushed a little, "pretty..." said twilight softly. Celestia sighed deeply, "you may all go now, but get as much rest as you can, I have a feeling your going to need it for the days to come.

As all the girls were leaving, rainbow dash paused and turned around to see twilight still sitting there blushing, she then rolled her eyes and turned around and left with everypony else. Celestia felt a tinge of worry, " i hope their ready." Thought celestia, before dissappearing in a flash of light, leaving twilight alone, with mixed feelings for this new stallion, who saved her life, and yet wants nothing to do with her.

Meanwhile, several miles outside ponyville, a cloaked figure stands on a small cloud several feet in the air. "So, she's here" the figure mumbled "don't want to keep them all waiting, now do we?" The figure sighed before revealing a massive pair of dark wings "this is gonna be one hell of a party!" He shouted, Leaping off the cloud and flying toward town.
