Chapter 1 : Hairy News

It was a beautiful afternoon in Ponyville. A lavender unicorn mare watched the townsfolk do their things and greet each other from the town library's window. A loud belch was heard from the upstairs living quarters. "Twilight!" A small purple and green dragon came tumbling down the stairs, a note clutched in his claws.

"What is it, Spike?" The lavender unicorn asked. "A note from Princess Celestia?" The baby dragon nodded. Twilight took the note from Spike's claws with her magic, a purple aurora illuminating her horn. The note read:

My most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, you are needed at Canterlot Castle as soon as possible. We have a crisis on our hooves. I will get into details when I see you. -Princess Celestia

"Spike! We have to go to Canterlot at once!" Twilight grabbed Spike with her magic and set him on her back. Once he gave her the thumbs up, she took off towards the direction of Equestria's capital.

A tall white alicorn was atop her throne ordering guards here and there to protect the city from potential threats. Everyone in the room was startled when the doors burst open to reveal a lavender unicorn with a purple and green baby dragon atop her back. "Princess Celestia! Spike and I came as fast as we could. What's the situation?"

"Twilight Sparkle," The alicorn said. "I and afraid to tell you..." She stopped with a grim look on her face.

"What is it, Princess?" The anxious young unicorn asked.

"They have returned."

"Uh... Who, exactly?"

The alicorn Princess took out a book of old age and showed Twilight a picture of a vile creature. It was pony-like, but it was huge and well muscled. It had more fur than the average pony, and had no cutie mark. It was dark brown, with glowing red eyes that have no pupils or irises. Just red. "W-w-w..." Twilight stammered.

"Yes, werewolves."
