Shadow's of my past

Chapter 2 – New friends

I walked to the edge of the tree branch I was currently standing on, at the outskirts of the everfree forest. As I reached the end of the branch I surveyed the ground below and ahead of me. There in the distance was a group of 5 ponies sitting at what appeared to be a picnic, and after a couple seconds of observation a rainbow streak came out of seemingly nowhere and landed next to the group of ponies. "I might as well get to know ponies while I'm here…" I said to myself quietly. I glided down gracefully from my wooden perch and landed about 20 or 30 feet away from the group of ponies. I began to have second thoughts when a pink pony pointed at me, and before I knew it they were all walking towards me. I started to turn around, then remembered the reason I came down here in the first place

I sigh and look back at the ponies, all of which appeared to be mares, and just awkwardly stood there. When the group of 6 ponies reached me the purple mare in the front of the group spoke up. "Hello there, my name is Twilight Sparkle, we just noticed that we haven't seen you around here before, are you new?" Said the mare named Twilight. "Uhm… yeah I'm new here, sorry I don't really talk that much…" I say blatantly. "Oh its fine, these are my friends, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy." She says pointing to each pony as she says their names. All of a sudden my left hoof was being shaken. "Well howdy there mah name is Applejack and ah run the apple orchard down on the outskirts of Ponyville." After she finishes her greetings I was met with big blue eyes staring at me.

"HI My name is Pinkie Pie, and since you're new here, you must not have any friends, so I'm gonna throw a PARTY JUST FOR YOU!" Says Pinkie Pie the entire time she was bouncing up and down. After her greeting, a cyan mare hovered over the rest of the group. "I'm RAINBOW DASH, fastest flier to come out of cloudsdale, and future wonderbolt!" Rainbow dash says with confidence. After that an elegant looking pony walked up to me. "Hello darling my name is Rarity it surely is a pleasure to meet you, I run the Carousel Boutique, I hope you find Ponyville to your liking." After that, the yellow coated Pegasus just looked at me meekly, soon after hiding her face behind her eyes. "And that's Fluttershy, she's kinda shy, hence her name" says Rainbow Dash, rolling her eyes. "So whats your name?" Twilight Sparkle asked me.

"Umm… My name is Blade, and it is wonderful to meet you all…" I say awkwardly while looking at the ground. "So, do you have a place to stay? Like a hotel or something?" I ask looking back up at the group. "Unfortunately, I can't say we do, but I do have a spare room at the public library you can stay at." Twilight says, looking at me with a small amount of concern. "Why I thank you kindly, but I don't want to be a burden, and if you want I can pay you for it." I say offering something for my inconvenience. "OH no its fine, really it's a public library so you can go in and out whenever you want." "Well in that case, I'm going to walk around the town and get a feel for the place, where is the library?" I ask. "OH it's that giant tree in the middle of Ponyville, I always wondered why there was a giant tree there, but then I remembered we have a library when Twilight moved here, and we hang out there all the time and-" Pinkie Pie says quickly, only to be silenced by Applejack's hoof on her mouth.

"Allright sugarcube, you have yourself a mighty good time, are you sure you don't want to join us?" Applejack asks. "Yes I'm fine thank you for the offer though but I feel as though I should go and explore the town, but once again sorry if I interrupted your picnic." I sais as I turned around and walked away.

*Rainbow Dash's PoV*

"Hey Twilight, are you sure you can trust him? I mean he did seem pretty cool and all but we just met him… are you sure you want him staying at your place for now?" I ask Twilight, slightly worried. "Yes Rainbow I'm fine, he does seem quiet so he shouldn't interrupt much with my studies, but thank you for worrying." Says Twilight with a small hint of authority. We turn back to continue our picnic.

*Blade's PoV*

I walked into Ponyville, getting several looks from the townsfolk; I wouldn't be surprised if they were staring at the dagger swaying gently, but securely, at my side. After a couple more minutes of walking I noticed the big tree that Pinkie Pie was talking about. Right where she said it was, in the middle of Ponyville… 'I should go later, when Twilights back…' I think to myself, already getting unusual stares, 'I don't want them to think I'm crazy now do I?' I ask myself with a small chuckle. I begin to explore the rest of the town…

*5 hours later*

I knock on the door of the library. "SPIKE CAN YOU GET THAT?" I hear Twilight yell, sounding as though she was on the second floor. "Sure thing hang on!" I hear another voice say, followed by the door opening a couple seconds later. A small green and purple dragon opens the door. "Oh sorry, we're closed but we'll be open tomorrow, sorry." Says the dragon, supposedly called Spike, just as Twilight comes down the stairs and sees me in the doorway. "Oh hello Blade, please come in." She says, getting a confused look from Spike. "Oh sorry spike, haha forgot to tell you, this is Blade, he will be staying in the guest room for a while, I actually just finished getting it set up for you, follow me." She says, turning around to go up the stairs. I obediently follow.

"Once again, thank you very much for letting me stay her, please excuse my rudeness, but I am very tired, would it be alright if I slept?" I ask cautiously, not wanting to offend. "Of course, you get some sleep and I will see you tomorrow." She says leaving me alone in front of the door to the guest bedroom. I open the door to reveal a comfortable looking bedroom, with a smalle bookshelf filled with books, and a small desk next to the window. I take off my cloak, armor, and weapons and snuggle into the small bed, thankful for somewhere to sleep. Already my eyes begin to droop as I fall into a deep sleep.

A/N so how was I at introducing the characters? I know, I'm still new to this so don't bug me about it :\, but as before review and send me votes if I should ship my OC with anypony (preferably one of the mane 6), but just know that I am extremely new to writing fics, let alone shipping XD, but please review this for me, and tell me how I can make this better.
