Samantha: The Non Pony of Equestria

Chapter 1: Mysterious Arrival

Chapter 1: Mysterious Arrival

It was a warm cloudless night and the moon and stars shown with all their might down on the city on the mountainside. Only the guard ponies were about at this time of night. The air was filled with music from the crickets. In the distance stood a large white castle with golden spires. Within one of the ivory tower's balcony stood a large pony with a snow-colored coat, On her head stood a long milky unicorn horn separated from her pastel rainbow colored flowing mare by a golden three-pronged crown with a purple diamond-shaped jewel place in the center. Her tail matched her mane in color and flow. Her alabaster wings were folded to her lean body. Her regal head glazing up at the moon and its dark shadows etched onto its surface in the shape of a Unicorn. The majestic pony lowered her head, and she closed her violet eyes in sadness.

"Oh, Sister I miss you so much. I wish things could have been different for us. One day I hope it will be." She said sorrowfully. When she finally opened her eyes and looked up, she couldn't help but gasp with wide eyes as the sky lit up by a large beam of teal light that came down a few miles outside of the city then vanished as if it had never happened to begin with. The sovereign pony began to fill with curiosity as she unfurled her wings and took off in the direction where the light had been. After a few minutes of flight, she landed just outside the charred circle of grass. Her golden shoed hoof just an inch away from the strange phenomenon. She bent down and sniffed the grass and to her amazement, it didn't smell burnt at all. Righting herself, she looked ahead to an object in the center of the ring. She cautiously walked to it only to find it was a weirdly shaped basket with a lilac colored blanket inside as she stepped closer the blanket moved. She stopped and listened to the sounds that seemed to be coming from the basket. She lowered her head to take the blanket in her teeth and pulled it back a little while watching for anything that might be dangerous then shock graced her worried face as she dropped the covering. Inside was a foal of some sort making cooing sounds as it moved its tiny hands and feet while its head looked around and then landed on the royal pony. The pony her head down to the foal like creature looking into its icy blue eyes. It was very fair looking in the coat department and well didn't have any fur to speak of. Its mane wasn't much just like newborn foals, but the darkened tuffs of hair could be seen even in the night.

"How did you get here little one?" She asked critter while it only blinked at her without giving any form of answers. Suddenly a cream-colored fold papers got the pony's attention. A pastel yellow glow surrounds her horn as the papers glowing in the same color floated and unfolded before the tall pony. One was blank while the other one held a note.

I have seen the fate of my world which its already very bleak and the end it's drawing nigh soon there will be nothing left of our once beautiful and magical world like yours. Once we walked among the clouds, but dark forces have grown and started casting its shadows now we are banished to the ground to live in the shadows as the magic has left us. My regret is we never saw it coming. We saw it coming and did nothing until it was too late and our fight was futile we were quickly overpowered. I'm using the last of my magic to send my daughter away to where it's safe.

Before my daughter Samantha was born I had seen her future in your world and it was bright. Full of joy, wonder, and happiness with only a few hardships, but what is a full life without this. She was born on a day what you call Hearth's Warming Eve at sunrise. She is meant for you. Enclosed is a blank parchment do not dismiss it for it, is infused with magic to help any questions you may have to care for her properly just hold it and think about what you want to know and your answer will be written. I know your species wears clothes on occasions, but ours wears them all the time to protect our modesty. Samantha seems to have taken more to dresses. She always smiles more when she wears them.

If only I could have written everything down, but time is too short for such things so much will be left unsaid. I only wish I could have given you more details on what we are, but it's better for us to be lost in history. The only thing I wish for her to know is that I love her with all my heart and that things could be different.

Celestia lowered the papers. Folding them as she replaced them in the basket thinking of a safe place to keep them hidden. Seers were not common, but she knew they existed here in Equestria so it made sense that other worlds would have them too because magic is a very mysterious mistress indeed and not pen pointed to just one world. She looked once more at the strange critter.

"Samantha so it seems that we were destined to meet the little one," She said cooing down at the little girl who smiled wide and kicked her tiny feet happily. "Let us go home little one." She said as she picked up the basket and took off to her castle. The journey was quite as Samantha fell into a deep sleep. Once Celestia landed stallions of different colors in golden armor approached her each mirroring the other facial expression of worry.

"Your majesty you had us all worried. We saw the beam of light and when we could find you we feared the worst." Said one of the Pegasus ponies with a charcoal coat. The other guards nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine. I went to investigate the light myself and found that it carried this foal to our world from hers by her mother. Her world is dying and her mother wanted her to live life." Said one of the Pegasus ponies with a charcoal coat. I'm going to raise her myself." Celestia started proudly. She had always wanted to have goals, but being the ruler of all of Equestria left no time to find a stallion and settle down, so she thought she would never be a mother, but nowhere was her chance and as selfish as it sounded she wasn't going to let it go for this maybe her only chance. Sure she was the ruler, and she treated her subjects as if they were all her children, but it wasn't the same as hard as she tried to make it so. They had true mothers of their own. The guards gasped and looked into the basket that she had set down after she had landed.

"What creature is this?" One unicorn guard asked as he like the others was shocked beyond belief at what his eyes were seeing.

"I'm not sure, but her name is Samantha from what the note said. It never mentioned what race she is. It doesn't matter what she is she will be raised like any other pony would. Now if you please excuse me I would like to retire for the night. Good night gentlecoats." She announced as her horn once again lit up in the same pastel yellow color lifted the basket to float in front of her as she walked to her room as the guard ponies clearness a path then went back to their rounds knowing that their sovereign was now safe at home once again. All were thinking about the new foal in the princess's life and what they were all in for as the young mare would grow up. Many thought about their own foals at home and shuttered others beamed with pride while a few looked clueless as they have yet to understand what it meant to have foals of their own.

A/n: Yeah, first chapters are always the hardest for me sorry it was so short. The next one will not be much of a story either more like bonding moments and the like as Celestia gets more into motherhood.

I guess I feel more at comfortable with the story as I write more chapters because I really start to get a feel for it. I just hope I can do my idea justice in the end.

I also want to do a Thunderlane story, but I may wait awhile till this one is almost done.
