Chapter 2

Princess Luna was overseeing all the ponies dreams when she found a few new souls. Some were dangerous and single minded. Those seemed like mindless animals. Then there were two specific ones. These two dreamt together. They showed a mother and son relationship. The thing that worried her about them were that they were omnivores. But their small size put her at ease. But what she found strange was the environment they were dreaming of. It in ruins and no pony was ever in any areas.

The mother let out a low pitched squeak then growled as she took the son by the hand and began running. The princess watched curiously as they hurried somewhere when suddenly in their dream, the ground started shaking and thundering filled the air. Then rain fell suddenly and hard, hard enough to knock the mother down as it poured. It got up and continued quickly till it arrived at a tunnel. they climbed into it and it sealed shut behind them. She wanted to learn more about them but the sun was already rising.


I woke up to Naibyn jumping on me.

"Mama! What's this thing?" He asked excitedly holding the weird batfly I found.

"Not sure hun but its edible. So eat."

"What about you?"

"I'll find food later." I said to him. It's strange. We didn't hibernate for more than a day. Maybe its because there wasn't any rain. Sometimes there is food around Rain deers. Maybe it will be good to go to the town. I need to find a stable source of food. After awhile of thinking I decided I would go. "Naibyn we're going back to the place the rain deer was at."

Naibyn finished the last bite of the strange creature I caught and picked up the rock. "Can I bring this?"

"Sure thing but don't get off while we are looking around unless I say so, ok?"

"Ok mom." I gave Naibyn a lick on his head before picking him up and placing him on my back. I head out and stick to the high ground incase there are some predators on the ground. When we arrive I see a bunch of weird rain deers walking around. I was very nervous but since the rain deers I know aren't aggressive, I go in and wander around. They seem to generally avoid us but continue starring. It sounds like they can talk. I can hear them whisper every now and then. There was a spear in the ground so I picked it up and took it with me.


"Are ya sure it wasn't opal? Maybe she got out."

"I'm telling you AppleJack, It wasn't! It was a dark red and walked on two legs! It has to be a new species!" Twilight said excitedly. Twilight walked with AppleJack down the street as they headed to sugarcube corner. Pinkie was helping out Mr. and Mrs. Cake with making sweets.

The second they walked in pinkie shoves a cupcake in both of their mouths. "Its a new flavor! Whatcha think? huh? huh? Is it good?" both ponies finished the cupcakes.

"It's very good Pinkie. What did you use for this new recipe?"

"A few melted rock candies then this and that, then boom! A new cupcake was made!"

"Princess Twilight!" A random pony came in. "Princess, there's two strange creatures walking the streets of Ponyville!"

"See Applejack, they're real!" Twilight said excitedly as she ran out. They came to the creatures which were jumping from window sill to window sill. Everypony watched as the larger one occasionally sniffs at the plants on them. But it was holding a sharpened stick. That was a little concerning but otherwise seemed to be causing no harm. Twilight observed how it moved and occasionally crouched to make a larger jump. The one on its head was fidgeting with a rock.

It seemed to notice Twilight and Applejack looking closely at them but continued on its way. They followed it back to sugar cube corner where it looked at the sweets on the sills. Rainbow Dash flew in. "Whats up guys? What are you looking at?" the creature got startled and almost fell of the window sill. "Woah! What is that?" She reached out to try and touch it. The creature tightened its grip on its spear and let out a soft squeak.

"Rainbow Dash wait!"
