Chapter 1:
Ionic isolation
The white, rubber stallion awoke from his peaceful sleep, and looked up at the moon for a few seconds, and then looked around him. In his tent. Completely alone. Exactly how he liked it. He had been living like this for ten years now, after he had left his home in Cloudsdale. He was born with wings, as his mother was a Pegasus. Yet he was also born with something that was extremely rare, the ability to manipulate ions. This was from his father. His whole body could go without blood, yet he needed ions to keep him alive. So he simply created them when he needed to.
Back inside his tent, he chose to make himself some Midnight coffee, and listen to some moonlight music (moonlight sonata). As he lit the gas stove with a spark, he heard a noise from outside. Readying himself by drawing in the necessary ions to shock the possible opponent, he snuck stealthily around the back. It was a blue-green Pegasus with a cutie mark of an aurora. 'That means…' He looked back at his own. It was a lone cloud with a single lightning bolt. This portrayed his lone life, and his ability to manipulate ions. '…my brother, Aurora Lightshift? He looks a little pale though', so he gave a small cough to get his attention. His brother Whipped around, and looked him strait in the eye.
"Is something wrong?" He queried
"Yes, our parents." his brother replied tearfully "They died of, something nopony knows about. And I'm next. That's why I look a little pale. Now listen, there's-" He broke off, panting, before he continued, "something, coming. You have to go-" This is where he left it, as he died in front of his eyes then. He didn't feel very sad, he hardly ever did. But those last bits sounded important. He guessed that he meant he had to go to a town somewhere.
"Guess I had better get going, after I grab some supplies". He grabbed all the necessary supplies for a 3 day trip. 'Everything happens in threes doesn't it?'. As he set out, a large explosion rang out from his tent. 'No turning back now' he thought without even bothering to look behind him, as he set onto the road to somewhere, and somewhere rather important.
Note: The chapters are a little short, i couldn't find a way to make them longer. Thanks for the 2 reviews, very helpful.
