The Everfree forest. Normally a dangerous place for anypony to be. Normally. Two ponies walking through Everfree isn't what you'd expect. It was almost to dark to see, the canopy of the trees blocking most of the light. The greenery filled with creatures, and a castle whose time had long since past towering over the rest of the forest. It is well known that not many ponies have returned from the Everfree forest, presumably because of its inhabitants. Not the friendliest of creatures. But it is also known that Zecora lives somewhere in the forest, working away with potions and herbs. But that's just what ponies think. These ponies didn't seem to care and trotted on, unperturbed by what was around them.
Leaves rustled beside them, causing one of them to stop. The other looked back. A Timberwolf leaped out, finding the space it was attacking empty. It crashed into the floor on the other side of the path, a grim looking pony standing beside it, blade in mouth. They left the kindling next to a tree, and carried on their way.
The two ponies exited the forest, showing the unicorns. The stallion stepped out first, orange coat glimmering in the sun, shining red eyes with a yellow and dark red mane and tail waving in the shallow breeze. The mare came out as well, her dim green fur almost as dark as the forest behind her. Greeny cyan eyes scanning the landscape, mane and tail also as red as the stallions but with streaks of dull blue.
The green mare saw a town not far away from the forest and walked towards it, the metal items she carried bouncing slightly in their sheaths. The orange stallion followed her and they started walking towards the town. They walked on the path towards the town, like the time was something they had a lot of. As they neared the town, they saw pegasi clearing the sky of clouds. This was the first thing they saw that seemed to surprise them. There was one pegasus not doing anything, it was a cyan coated mare with a rainbow mane and tail, just lying down on one of the clouds.
When they got closer, they walked past a large field of apple trees. An orange earth pony mare with a pale yellow mane and tail and a cowboy hat, was bucking the trees when she stopped, mid kick, and looked at them.
"Uh, howdy?" The orange mare called, her voice wavering slightly. The two ponies walked towards her. The orange mare starts to back off slowly.
"Hello," The stallions said in a gruff voice, "we were wondering if you could tell us where we are". The mare stops moving back and states proudly, but nervously, "You're in Ponyville, the best town in Equestria!"
"Equestria?" The green unicorn says suspiciously. "are you sure? Last time I checked we were heading south." The green unicorn draws her sword slightly with her magic.
"Yeah, ah'm pretty sure." The orange mares face has a few beads of sweat coming down her face.
"Then I think we should stop over reacting..." The stallion stares at the sword as it reclines into its sheath.
"So, why are ya'll here?" the earth pony mare asks, nerves toned down bit.
"We aren't meant to be." The stallion states simply, and walks off to the town, the green mare just behind him.
"We've either got new company or trouble. And ah think it's trouble." The orange mare says to herself before galloping away.
