Author's note
Folks, you never thought that this would happen but I am finally working on my first ever My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic story, no fanmake, just original stuff for once! It has been a long time since I worked on a non-fanmake but I will try my best to make this one a good one.

This story will be part of series that references other known stories like 'The Elements of Harmony and the Savior of Worlds' (minus some differences) 'Past Sins', 'The Story of the Blanks' and some more when I get permission, as well as the first three Gens of My Little Pony.

All right, prepare yourselves folks for one interesting story. BTW, for anyone who wants to know, the first part of this prologue takes place between the prologue and first chapter of 'Past Sins' while the rest of this story takes place after season two was over.

It was thundering and lightning in the cursed place known as the Everfree Forest. It is usually crawled with monsters with no magic at work here. Not so long ago, a cult here was trying to revive one of the most dangerous alicorns that Equestria has ever seen.

The cult was planning on resurrecting this creature with scraps of the being known as Nightmare Moon's armor, some ingredients and the blood of the holder of the Element of Magic. Their ritual would've succeeded...except Princess Celestia, Twilight's teacher, and a couple of guards interrupt in time, chasing them off. It appears that the attempt to resurrect Nightmare Moon has been foiled.

But unknown to everypony, even the cultists, something appeared that night...

In the forest, somepony was walking around, looking a bit scared. She appears to be a black alicorn with eyes that are moderate opal to Dark opal and a Light opal outside, a dark blue violet mane, and a very dark cornflower blue coat. The poor filly has no idea as to what she was doing in this forest...or where she came from.

"Hello?" The filly calls out, getting scared and worried, "Anyone? Oh, is anyone here? Where am I? Oh, I found myself in a clearing and...oh! This is getting scary for me...where..."

Suddenly a tree branch is heard snapping, the filly gasps as she turns to the direction of the noise. Who is it? Could someone has found her and planning to bring the lost foal home? Or is it something out to harm her?

"Hello? Who's there?" The filly asks nervously.

Suddenly growling noises are heard as four wooden like creature called timber wolves appears, glaring at the filly. She gulps nervously. She has no idea whom these guys are...but something tells the lost one that they aren't here to help!

The filly screams and run off with the timber wolves chasing her, obviously wanting her for dinner...literally! As it continues thundering and raining, the foal finds herself back in the clearing where she woke up at not so long ago but trip. The filly gasps as the timber wolves surround her.

"Please...don't eat me! I didn't do anything wrong..." The little alicorn whimpers a bit. But apparently, these guys do not care. They just want a meal. The filly screams as one growls and lunges at her, she prepares herself for her end. How terrifying that her arrival in this place ends up like this!

Suddenly, a vicious growling was growling was heard, scaring the frightened black filly but startling the timber wolves, especially when something knocks the attacking timber wolf away from the filly. She gapes as whatever it is knock the monster far into the bushes.

The filly saw the creature now growling at the remaining three timber wolves, covered in shadows though she can see some red eyes. The foal has no idea if it saved her from being eaten...or wants to eat her instead! One thing's for sure: she doesn't want to be caught in the crossfire!

The filly retreats to a single bush at the edge of the clearing, hiding and watching as the shadowy creature fights off the timber wolves. She can only watch as her apparent savior knock them away, those monsters kept on trying to attack the creature for getting in the way of their meal.

But soon, the timber wolves whimper as the creature grabs one with his mouth and toss it at the attacking monsters. They got up and make a run for it. No meal is worth all this trouble!

The filly gulps as the shadowy creature sighs a bit then looks around as if looking for her. She hopes that he doesn't decide to look for her in this bush! The filly of course for some reason felt like whoever saved her wasn't going to eat her. She doesn't know why...

The creature then heads off into the forest. Either he has forgotten the filly or is looking for her elsewhere. The filly sighs...then cringes a bit. There are thorns in the bushes that she is hiding in, giving her nicks and scratches.

The filly was only there for who knows how long until somepony else has found her...one that will change her life forever...

Young Twilight has never been so happy in all her life. She is now a student of Princess Celestia and gained her cutie mark all in one day! And it's due to some huge explosion that came from out of nowhere. Or maybe it's because that Twilight always have the magic inside her.

Whatever the case may be, Twilight and her whole family is thrilled: her parents and her big brother Shinign Armor. Tomorrow, the unicorn filly will move into Canterlot Castle and be studying under Princess Celestia herself. Twilight of course wonders if she would be keeping that baby dragon, the one that she hatched. Celestia has been telling her that she has something to tell her once Twilight is all settled in.

There is just one colt...a special somepony that Twilight wanted to tell of her success. She rush through Canterlot, hoping to find him.

There he was, standing near the edge of town. Twilight smiles happily. She promised to tell him when she herself made it into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns...as well as give him the answer of his question yesterday."

"Hey, guess what!" Twilight exclaims eagerly as she runs up to the little colt waiting for him, he turns around to hear what she wanted to say. "I made it, I'm going to be trained under Princess Celestia herself! And look, I even got my cutie mark!

The colt smiles as if happy for what the great things that happened. Twilight blushes happily to him. Now the time has come...

Twilight clears her throat, saying, "Listen, about your question. My answer, Be..."

Suddenly a lightning bolt is heard, making Twilight jump a bit. She looks confused as lightning clouds appear. What's happening? Was there a lightning storm scheduled for today? Twilight and the colt have to get inside before...

But then, Twilight gasps in horror as it begins to get dark...and something is coming out of the darkness. Something big and growling evilly. She yells out, "No! Ben, look out behin..."

Twilight Sparkle was too late. The colt known as Ben screams as something grabs him, growling sinisterly and evilly. The filly looks horrifying as she charges at the creature but it just swats her away. Twilight, now on the ground, looks up as the colt that she loves is being taken into the darkness."

"No!" The colt screams as the monster disappears with him. "Help me, Twilight!'

"NO!" Twilight screams in terror. This can't happen! Not again! She got up while screaming, "NO! DON'T LEAVE ME, NOT AGAIN!"

------------

"Don't leave me!" Twilight screams as she stood up in bed, sweating and looking frightful. The unicorn looks around sighs in sadness. She is back in her bedroom in the library back at Ponyville. "Not that dream again...I thought it was gone right before Shining's wedding. But apparently, it came back with a vengeance..."

It has been 2 weeks since Shining Armor's wedding to Princess Cadence, a great event that almost ended with Equestria destroyed by an evil group of Changelings. If it weren't for Twilight's brother and his new wife, all would've been lost.

Twilight felt relieved that she has a hoof in Equestria being safe. She was suspected of the fake Cadence, unaware that she was the Changeling Queen at the time, and almost lost her brother, friends and even her mentor when it looks like the purple unicorn was wrong...but as it turns out, Twilight was right to be suspicious when the fake send her into some forgotten caves where the real princess was at. That was a mistake on that evil queen's part.

But the wedding thing isn't on Twilight's mind right now: what is is that dream which she has for years, other than that other dream of...the unicorn then heard noises as she saw Spike, sitting in his bed and awakened, glancing at her.

"Twilight; what's wrong?" Spike asks his older sister/mother in concern.

"It's...it's nothing." Twilight said while wiping off the sweat off her forehead.

"It's that dream of yours again, right? The one that you have for years about him leaving ya again."

"It's nothing! I...I need to go check on Nyx."

Twilight got out of bed and goes over to a bed that is made for her adopted daughter Nyx. She sighs in relief as her alicorn filly is sleeping in her bed. Twilight just wanted to check to make sure.

"Twi, you should tell the others about this dream that you have." Spike said in concern. That dream of that colt being taken away by some monster has been eating away at her. "I mean, when we ignored your concerns or worries at Shining and Cadence's wedding..."

"Look, I don't need help on that dream, okay? Let's go back to bed." Twilight said sternly while heading back to her bed. Spike sighs as he prepares to get back to bed himself. One of these days, that unicorn is going to tell her friends what happen.

"All right, fine, but I strongly suggest that you tell the others about this ASAP."

Spike heads into bed. Twilight sighs in sadness as she looks out the window. Why can't she stop dreaming about him? His disappearance has been haunting her ever since she was a filly.

"Oh Ben...where are you?" Twilight mumbles a bit as she heads off to sleep, hopefully without the same nightmare to deal with this time.
