Chapter 1

As a shaman, I've done some pretty strange things. But nothing can compare to how weird this was.

My name is Hoonohoshi Ookami, and I'm a 13 year old shaman.

My ghost's name is Himaru Taiyou. He was 14 when he died. "How did he die?" You ask. He was killed in the forest by a wolf. Literally tore him to pieces. Really, it's a miracle that his ghost's form wasn't separated. But he's pretty strong and he's a pretty cool ghost to have around, so I have no complaints.

We both can openly admit that we're REALLY lazy, but serious when we have to be. That's almost never, but you can't blame us; there are never any times where we had to be serious. Plus, I don't think I'd ever be in a serious situation.

I was dead wrong.

I woke up on the limb of a tree. My shirt was actually caught in a tree branch. I looked up and saw a sharp brown figure (the branch) sticking right through my shirt. When I tried to reach for it-

SNAP!

About 2 seconds later...

THUD!

Pain shot through my back or a minute or so.

"Owwww!" I moaned for about a minute or so. When I was able to get back on my own feet, I could actually take in my surroundings. No doubt, I was in a forest. Trees as far as the eye could see. When I looked up, I could only see the green of leaves. Suddenly an idea popped in to my head. 'I might be able to see more from a birds-eye view' I thought. For that I might have to integrate.

I pulled a memorial tablet from my pocket and summoned Himaru. Suddenly, out popped a red-haired, lazy ghost, who was currently sleeping. I decided to wake him as gently as possible.

"Himaru," I whispered, "Himaru, wake up."

After a few minutes, my patience escaped, and whispered turned to full fledged yelling. When he still didn't wake up, I raised my hand and brought it across his face. As expected he awoke. And he looked like a fool, a startled fool with a fresh handprint across his face.

Yep. He's the lazies out of the both of us.

"What in the world was that for!?" He shouted.

"Hey, I tried the easier way, first," I explained.

"You better have a good reason for that!?" He threatened as his hands lit on fire.

Forgot to mention. Himaru can control fire.

"Look around you," I suggested.

His flames diminished as he observed. I started to think he knew why I woke him up.

"Dude. Where are we?" He asked

"I don't really know. We might be able to get a better view up top. I woke you so we can integrate," I replied.

"Let's do it,"He said.

As I got ready to integrate, Himaru went into spirit flame mode. I grabbed Himaru, leaped into the air for dramatic effect, and-

"Integrate!"

When I landed, I jumped a few times to see if I could control my body. Eeyup, I'm at 100% integration. At the very most, I could stay stay in this form for 8 hours before I would exhaust and have to exorcise my ghost out. But I had to focus on the task at hand; and get out of this forest.

I jumped on a branch I had broken earlier. Then I had jumped on a higher branch.

Then higher...

Then higher...

Then higher...

Then higher...

Until I busted out of the top of the forest. I could see just about everything.

And I couldn't believe what I saw.

Beyond the forest was unbelievable. I saw a giant cloud with what looked like a city on top of it. Somewhere near it was a HUGE castle and city right beside it.

I know I sound like a kid now and that this is a horrible description, but this is really what I saw.

It was pretty clear that-

"This is not Earth."

(Completed chapter. The cities in the description if you didn't know were Canterlot and Cloudsdale. I know it's not the best but later it'll get really good, so keep reading. Also please give me CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I know this story's missing an element. Please review, rate, and PM. Thanks for reading and until next time.
