Prologue

3rd Person POV

Long ago, there was a new, baby filly named Wishstar. But she was no ordinary filly.

She lived in Soarisia, a place high above Cloudsdale. Ponies native to Soarisia had great powers, but terrible things would happen if they were used incorrectly. You can guess what happened.

Wishstar grew up a carefree, happy-go-lucky filly. This was the expected personality of a filly her age, and she grew to fit into it, but it got over-the-top. That caused a few problems...

The time came when she went to her first year of school. In Soarisia, that is when ponies are around 3. It was time for simple magic. In Soarisia, that's levitation. All of Wishstar's classmates barely could get themselves off the floor. Wishstar, confident, gave it a go. She succeeded!

The next day, they went outside. The teacher, Ms. Breeze, decided getting the foals to levitate a twig would be easier. It was by a little bit, but not that much. Wishstar was even more confident than last time, but you know the saying, pride comes before a fall. And that's exactly what happened.

Wishstar tried her luck at the twig, and it came halfway off the ground, but then it caught fire! After burning halfway, it fell to the floor.

Wishstar, worried, looked at her classmates. They all stared back, wide-eyed. She looked to Ms. Breeze for support, but all she got was a horrified Ms. Breeze. Her parents Comet and Shine were very upset when they heard the news, and got even sadder when Ms. Breeze announced she may have to see Queen Lightning, the one and only ruler of Soarisia. So, with many protests from Comet, Shine and Wishstar, they went all the way to Queen Lightning's palace. Queen Lightning found her guilty of misusing her magic, and she got locked up in a lonely lantern, to serve her punishment. Wishstar had no contact with anyone, and so whoever freed her from the lantern would get 13 wishes. After that, she would return to the lantern until someone else found it..
