Embor is brought to Equestria to defeat "A New Evil". After he does, he will return home. As he has been told by a mysterious pony. In order to defeat this new evil, he must amplify his powers and train to become stronger with the help of fellow Pon...
The Pegasus, Hector, makes an effort to catch up with me. My galloping began getting faster in an attempt to escape. Though wings beat traveling on hoof. I am grabbed around my torso by him and lifted up about 30 ft off the ground, an estimate made as I sensed the height of nearby homes to be at the level of the second story. He looked down at me, knowing I could not escape and grabbing my front hooves.
"Not afraid of heights are you?" he said with a grin on his face.
Reaching to my face, he goes to rip off the bandage covering where my eyes should be.
"No!" I couldn't let him do that. My curse was too horrible for the public eye. No one should have to live with such an image in their mind
Ive had enough. My hooves heat up as I planned to blast him away. However I didn't even need to as the warmth of my hooves made him suddenly let me go and wave his hoof as if he got burned. I fell, only saved by the fire blast I charged up when I redirected my aim to the ground. Now down, I start running again. Other ponies watched as I ran and Hector casually following.
I get the feeling that im going to regret doing that to Hector. But I also feel better now that I got away from him.
A while later, I stumble upon a crowd of ponies gathered around some kind of bakery. "SugarCube Corner" it was called as a few ponies from the crowd said the name, wondering when it was going to open. Judging by the warm temperature, It must be close to 10:00 AM if they are opening in a little bit.
I could sense two ponies inside. A pegasus stallion and unicorn mare were hanging decorations inside. They seemed to be in either their late teens or early adults.

"Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake, dont forget to wrap them around the beams so they stay up."
The unicorn mare looked at the counter and I turned my attention closely at the the pony Pumpkin was looking at. The thin and tall stallion seemed to be the owner but then I see another pony stand beside him.
"We will father."
"Dont worry about them dear." The mare said. "They have been doing this for years."
Paying closer attention, there's a pony in the background in the kitchen. I identified them too late and they walked away out of my radius. Just when I was getting close to the glass, the crowd blocks the opening and my view. Right then, somepony taps my shoulder. I'm pretty sure that Hector is right behind me getting ready to pull me aside. I turn and come face to face with that pony who was in the kitchen. How did she get there so quickly and quietly?
In a enthusiastic tone, she jumped up saying "Hi!"
"Uh...hi. How are you?
"You must be new here right?"
"...yeah." Her joyful expression was something I've missed on other faces for so long.
"Im Pinkie Pie."
"Hi Pinkie Pie"
Rarity mentioned Pinkie earlier, the other party host. Before I could get a word out, out of nowhere, Pinkie pulls a wagon into existence and ponies start to pay attention to what Pinkie's doing rather than trying to get into SugarCube Corner.
"Whats you name?" She asks me.
"Embor Rocks"
"Well Embor..."
Pinkie presses a red button on the side of the wagon and a bunch of musical instruments start playing from the wagon. Pinkie then starts singing.
"Welcome welcome welcome a fine welcome to you, welcome welcome welcome I say "How do you do?" Welcome welcome welcome I say "Hip hip hooray!", welcome welcome welcome to Ponyville today! ...Wait for it!"
There's an oven attached to the wagon that fires confetti and covers me and the crowd of bystanders who were watching. Then a thick liquid shoots out of these cannons that are beside the oven and drench Pinkie, me, and of course the bystanders. It felt sticky and heavy like dough. It tasted like melted vanilla cake.
"Oh silly me, I must've put the confetti in the oven and the cake in the confetti cannon, again!" Her laughing and smile was a joy to see.
Stating the obvious, I said "So you brought the Welcome Wagon?"
"Yup! Did you like it?"
"Yes I did."
Pinkie smiles brightly and shakes my hoof. "So what brings you here?"
"I'm just checking the town before I go home."
"Are you coming to the party tonight?"
"Indeed I will. I was told about that earlier."
"Well that's great to hear! Remember to dress your best."
"Ok I will"
"I hope so! It will be great and a perfect time to hopefully get acquainted with the town. I'll happily help you!"
"That..."
Before I can give my opinion, guess who showed up behind me. "Yeah Eyeless Stallion, you should go. Your social status here is... quite low."
"Oh hi Hector!" Why Pinkie? Why welcome him into this? "What brings you here?"
"Oh I was just looking for my friend Embor. And here he is."
Excuse me? "Yeah... perhaps I should be heading home now. I got to get ready for the party and all." Just when I was about to dart away, Hector put a hoof on my shoulder.
"When you arrive..." He would grip my shoulder roughly. His hoof as cold as ice "...keep an eye out." With that said, Hector gave me a push to move me forward. I do not look back, I just keep going forward and try to disappear out of sight.
