The Adventure Begins

A dark and cold night invades all of Equestria, with the light of the moon illuminating the towns and cities. In the Kingdom of Canterlot, deep within the Castle, there is a black door with strange runes and symbols on it.

But little by little it begins to crack, giving way to shadowy tentacles followed by a roar that echoes throughout the Kingdom. Then an intense fog covers the entire Kingdom, leaving the citizens without visibility.


Years later.

Streetlights shine their bright light down a single path of pebbles embedded in the ground, creating a beautiful rustic path into the distance. At that moment a figure in a dark gray robe appears walking that same path.

The robe covers most of his body except his head: dark purple scales, moderate harlequin lower jaw, sealed mouth and dark sockets, reflecting the darkness of the night. Behind, he carries a sword longer than himself and very wide.

A Dragon very different from the others.

The path that he follows goes through a forest, he just enters and feels the cool breeze that moves his robe slightly, in that, a Manticore comes out of some bushes, interposing the way of the peculiar Dragon, he only takes a scaly hand out of his robe and grabs the hilt of his sword, he quickly pulls it off his back and cuts off its head, decapitating the beast.

He goes on his way, paying no attention to the beast he has killed, his gaze focused on the road he is walking and nothing more, paying no attention to the crickets chirping towards the crescent moon or the owls whispering among them.

Just keep walking down the headlight-lit forest path to your left. He reaches a point where there is no path anymore and there is a tunnel that goes down to what appears to be a cave, the Dragon doesn't hesitate and jumps into the tunnel, descending at high speed until he reaches the ground, landing on one leg.

From his tunic he takes out an orb that begins to emit a dim light that soon begins to shine brighter, illuminating the path of the purple Dragon, he follows the tunnel ahead of him; but he hears something small move and just a large spider jumps towards him, but he just grabs it and crushes it against the wall.

Look at the corpse of the arachnid and then walk through the cave again, after a few minutes you see the light of the moon and the headlights again at the exit of the cave, this time the path continues along the side of the mountain, with a big cliff on the right side.

Just in that place the mist begins to appear, slowly turning into a dense fog, he keeps the luminous orb and looks in the distance at a town consumed by fog and darkness, but barely illuminated by the lights of the houses and businesses.

The Dragon jumps off the cliff in front of him and lands on one leg, getting up and continuing on his way, but before he even takes a step, he sees to his left a corpse of a Pony with a notebook in his hand, he picks it up and puts it away.

As he continues walking, he finds a rock with embedded gems of various colors, but the ones that predominate are green and red. He takes his sword and begins to beat the rock until it is destroyed, grabbing all the gems.

After that, he turns his attention to the path he is traveling, he does not know why or where he is going at the moment, only one day he heard the voice of someone inside him that said:

"Comes back..."

And he set off, without wondering whose voice it was or where he wanted it to return, since the Dragon can't feel anything, he doesn't have feelings, but he can show if he's confused or something else.

Continuing on the path, the young Dragon meets the path again after passing through the rocky area where he found the mineral, this time he crosses a meadow accompanied by the hiss of the breeze that makes the plants dance and the light of the moon now full that illuminates them like theater light.

He admires the beauty of the place and remains still, contemplating the vast meadow that reaches the distance of the road, after admiring the field for 5 minutes, he returns to what he was doing and resumes his walk. Now he passes through another forest, but this one is illuminated by small fireflies while small animals and insects peek out of the bushes and trees, contemplating the great Dragon that passes through his territory with that sword on his back.

Soon the fireflies begin to disappear, implying that he is about to leave that part of the forest, although the Dragon takes his sword again and quickly turns around just as a Timberwolve attacks him, but he just puts his sword in the middle, slashing through half to the wolf and only leaving sticks and branches all over the ground. As he does so, a pack of Timberwolves surrounds him, baring their fangs and ready to attack.

They all pounce at once, but the Dragon jumps and slashes downward, hurting some of the wolves as they crash into each other, then lands on top of them and smashes their heads, again leaving only sticks and branches.

Before leaving, he searches among the branches and finds a yellow orb, Timberwolve's essence, he saves it and continues along the path, gradually arriving at the distant town, then he arrives at the entrance of said town, where there is a sign welcoming travelers:

"Welcome to Ponyville"

What he doesn't know at the moment is that he's about to go on the ultimate adventure to save an entire kingdom as he meets friends, defeat enemies, meet new places and saves a world from devastation and eternal darkness that expands slowly.
