I had been shopping in the mall when it happened, I needed to pick up some books for a trip I was going on. As I got ready to head back to my car, I came across a store that wasn't there before.

'Guess I missed this store on my way in' I thought to myself as I went in 'I guess it wouldn't hurt if I browsed for a few minutes' I thought to myself as I entered the store to browse.

As I looked around the shop I saw various items from a few shows including Ben 10, Generator Rex, Star Wars: the clone wars and Avatar the last airbender/The legend of Korra. As I was browsing, I came across a couple of Avatar figurines, Raava and Vaatu.

I picked up the figure of Vaatu to look at it closer, however, when I picked it up it started to glow a Dark orange. Startled, I dropped the figurine on the ground. As I looked at it I noticed my hand beginning to glow the same color as the figurine.

"What?" I asked to nobody in particular as the figure started to disappear, and a hole took its place. It didn't take long for the hole to reach a size that I could fall down but I was too transfixed by what was happening before me to think about backing away. Before I knew it I had fallen into the black void within the hole.

I awoke in an empty field 'What happened?' I thought to myself as I tried to get up. Surprisingly, however, when I put my hand on the ground a strange sensation covered my body. This confused me slightly as it felt like Toph's seismic sense from the show and the sensation almost felt like it was pulling me somewhere.

"Okay I have a direction" I said to myself as I got up off the ground. Looking towards the direction the feeling was pointing me, I started walking. I didn't have anywhere else to go after all...

- - -

It took a lot of walking and considering if I should even continue following a feeling before I came across medieval looking village.

As I walked into the town I heard the sounds of people running into their houses, followed by the distinct sounds of doors slamming.

"I guess they don't like new people?" I asked as I came across a small horse walking up to me with a flower in its mouth. Before I could kneel down to pet the little thing another horse came out of nowhere and headbutted me, knocking me down,

"Huh... Weird" I said to myself as continued to explore the village.

- - -

The rest of the village was empty, apart from some eyes coming out of the windows. I realized something as I was walking, the houses were far too small for humans, so maybe there were not made for humans. 'Maybe the horses are the inhabitants' I thought with a smile as I thought on how ridiculous that would be. As I rounded another corner, a female voice called out behind me.

"What have you done to the ponies of this village, creature?" The voice said.

'Wait, did that she just say ponies?' I thought to myself as I turned around to see who it was that had spoken. Instead of finding a woman, I found a group of ponies in golden armor and a large horse bearing golden jewellery.

"I wont ask again. What have you done to them?" I looked at it for a moment, taking in the fact I was being threatened by a winged unicorn... a talking winged unicorn.

"They are hiding in their houses" I said, backing away slowly. As I turned away to try and get away from the horse I was shot in the back by the winged unicorn

"Ah! What the hell?!" I shouted as she looked at me with an almost evil look.

"We came here because you have been terrorizing villages in this area and we are going to stop you!" She said as I put my hands up.

"Look, Miss horse..." I started to say before she interrupted me

"Princess Celestia" she said.

"Okay, Princess, I just got to this village so I have no clue wha-" I was quickly cut off by an energy bolt from one of the unicorns

"Don't Lie to the princess" The Unicorn snarled.

As I tried to think of a way out of the predicament, a thought occurred to me.

Since I obviously could not talk my way out of this I decided to give it a try "There's no way you are going to believe me about being innocent in all this, Is there?" I asked

She gave me a cold look, conveying her response with that alone.

'I really hope this works' I thought as I punched the air. Miraculously enough, a fireball came flying out of my fist, hitting one of the guards. After a moment of shock, I smiled, before stomping my foot on the ground, causing a large rock to appear between me and the horses and began to run away from them. I really didn't want to fight them when I was outnumbered.

Celestia PoV
I looked towards the guard that had been set on fire. We had managed to get the fire out but that had unfortunately allowed the creature to escape behind the stone wall it had created from the stone road underneath him.

"I don't know where he went but I want him found" I ordered as the guards nodded "You five stay here and guard the town in case the creature comes back," The five I ordered saluted and went off to begin their tasks.

"The rest of you with me, we have a creature to catch" I said to the five other guards.

They began to follow me out of the village and into the surrounding woods we quickly found his prints on the ground.

We followed the prints to a clearing where the creature was talking to himself.

"Hopefully I lost them" he said, looking around the clearing, "well I guess I should..." he was interrupted by one of the guards stepping on a twig

"Who's there?" he called out, quickly moving into a defensive position. Seeing our cover was blown, I stepped out of our hiding spot to confront him

"Surrender peacefully or we will hurt you" I commanded as my guards surrounded him

"Look, I'm telling you I'm not what's causing trouble in that village, but I will defend myself if I have to" He said as he stomped on the ground, causing rocks to fly out of the ground.

I looked at him for a second before ordering my guards to attack the creature.

"I warned you" he said as he punched the air causing the rocks to fly towards me I put up a shield to block it and my guard broke one of the rocks before it could hit me.

"Are rocks all the best you can do?" I asked as he threw a fire ball at my shield. I rolled my eyes as I fired a magical bolt at him which sent him flying back onto the dirt. He got up and ran into a near-by cave, quickly sealing it behind him. I walked up the the wall and blasted it down, but he was already gone.

"You three stay here while we head inside the cave to bring him out" I ordered as we headed in

He already had a short head start but I knew we would catch him as there was only one way to go. We ran ahead and before long, we quickly caught up to the creature. As he turned around he backed away, not noticing the chasm behind him. It only took a moment for him to fall, and an audible crack emanate from below.

Smiling triumphantly, I flew down and brought the body up from the bottom of the chasm so I could show it to the village so they wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

As soon as we got back to the village one of the guards I assigned to guard the village came up to me.

"We have another problem Princess It appears that the creature you've killed is only a recent event. The beast we were sent to hunt is still out there" The guard said

I looked down at the creature that had fallen to its death and mumbled "It was telling the truth" I looked at my chariot and came to a decision.

"I'm going to head back to canterlot to see If we can't learn anything from this creature" I said "The rest of you set up camp. I will return in three days time."

- - -The Zebrakin plains, around the same time- - -

"Its a colt" The Shaman exclaimed happily as he handed the baby to his mother

"He's beautiful" the mother said as she held her little colt

"What shall we name him?' The father asked

"Zehire we will name him Zehire" the mother said

"Zehire we know you will do great things in your life"

- - -Canterlot 600 years later- - -

"This is a statue of Zehire, the Executioner, whom lead the zebra Confederacy into a bloody war with Equestria, destroying countless villages and slaughtered numerous Ponies in his quest to take Equestria from Celestia." The tour guide said as he began to walk away. As he walked away, a griffon snuck into the line for the day court.

'We have some unfinished business, Celestia' The griffon thought as he waited in line.
