Defender prologue

His eyes snapped open but soon had to close them again to shield his eyes from the blaring morning sun. the Pegasus turned his head to the side to provide better shade for his still sensitive eyes. His blue orbs soon adjusted to harsh light and began scanning his surroundings.

He realized that he was sitting in the middle of a crater. All around him was displaced rock and charred undergrowth. Smoke crawled and floated out of piles of debris and formed columns that stretched into the endless blue sky. he looked up at the craters walls witch were comprised of rock, dirt, ash soot and the remains of plant life. trees were leaning dangerously to one side their gnarled roots futilely trying to keep their load off the ground. The well muscled pegasus noticed that the bark of the trees were slightly charred as well.

He rose from the the ground, his aching body complained with the effort. He shook the dirt and ash from his light blue coat and wings. His blue mane was a tangled mess and full of dirt and rubble and the occasional twig. his tails condition matched his manes. He sneezed clearing them of dirt and ash that seemed to have found its way on to every inch of his body making his blue fur take on a brownish black hue. he rubbed the sand from the corners of the eyes and stretched out his wings, their muscled and tendons ached and hurt at every movement. He winced as he did a self-evaluation.

He saw nothing that he could say that was out of the ordinary. He soon noticed a strange marking on his flank that was half covered in soot. He uncovered it to reveal that it looked like a pair of silver wings with leaf green sphere joining them.

He was confused by this but was sure that it some sort of meaning behind it. He didn't have much time to dwell on this as his mind was bombarded with questions.

Where am I? What happened here? How did this happen? Were just a few of the many questions that popped into the blue Pegasus's mind but one stood out above them all...

Who am I?..
