Crisis among Equestria
Intro:
It has been believed that there have only been ponies that had cities in Equestria, but in untold stories, there had been another race that co-existed with them: The Xilevveig. They are humanoid creatures that are about a foot taller than the ponies, have blue fur, fox like ears and tail; they also have a few magical properties*. They have small villages scattered across Equestria, about a tenth of the male population train to be soldiers who vow to defend the lands with their lives. Occasionally a few soldiers will go to the pony populated towns to see if there is any trouble within and solve it. Other than that, nopony has really seen what they look like since when the soldiers arrive, they always wear armor covering all of their features, and they never visit the small villages.
The setting of this story takes place in a pony populated town. There is a loud commotion at the town's bakery, when a small pony runs out of the building, as if his life depended on it, a few seconds later the Baker come out yelling "Help! Help, Thief!"
Three Xilevveig soldiers nearby rush to the Baker. "Which way did they go?" Said one wearing a green cape. **
The Baker raises his hoof, pointing towards the pony running in the opposite direction of the bakery, the three soldiers dart off in a sprint after him. As the pony realizes he is being pursued he knocks a few crates over in an attempt to stop them, nearly tripping one of them but not stopping them. He then turns down an alley way to hinder the soldier's pursuit. As he looks behind him, he sees a soldier falling behind, disappearing in a dark mist. The next second he bumps into him, confused and frightened, the soldier draws a sword and points it at him. As the other two soldiers catch up, the one with the green cape says, "Lower your weapon" While approaching the pony, opening his satchels, pulling out a loaf of bread, "Is there a reason you couldn't have paid for this?"
The young pony looks up at the soldiers wearing black armor, "The… There is no way I can pay for this, I have no home." Nearly curling up as the soldier pulls out two pouches.
"This is what is going to happen," He said handing one of the pouches to the soldier next to him who leaves, "We are going to pay for what you have stolen, you're going to take the bread and this bag of money, you're going to go to the baker and apologize for stealing and tell him it will never happen again and ask for a job as his apprentice."
The pony replies, "Why would he give me anything after what I have done, and why are you helping me?"
After putting the bread and pouch in his bag, "If it is a way to have you with the means to make money, to feed yourself, why not. Don't worry about the baker when asking for a job; we will explain your situation and how much it would mean to you if you had the opportunity to work for him, to regain his trust and have a place to stay."
The pony slowly nods, walking behind the two soldiers to the bakers. After about ten minutes they walk out, the pony hugging the soldier, "I don't know how I can ever repay you!"
The soldier gently setting him down, "It is fine, there is no need for payment." The pony then walks back in, as they go towards the center of town, a Xilevveig messenger runs towards them, nearly out of breathe.
"I have … something urgent… to…" Cut off.
"What is it?" Says the lead soldier.
"Kaleam has been attacked." Shock falls upon the soldiers.
