There are long forgotten tales about monsters that hunt and eat ponies. It’s a tale as old as time. But sometimes these tales are more true than we previously thought.
5 years ago with permission of your chief you are permitted to leave your small Island life to move to mainland of Equestria. You pack up your stuff say goodbye to your family and friends and set sail for Equestria. You land on the shore of the mainland 2 weeks after you set sail. You hide your boat and tie it up before you start to wander the land. Eventually coming across a quaint village called Ponyville. Where you decided to stay. You get bombarded by this pony named Pinkie who is desperate to be your friend. Eventually you are convinced and you slowly become pals with other Mane six members.
Current day you arrive back at the shore where you first landed. You had spent two months away from Ponyville you had told your friends that it was a family emergency so you had to leave for a couple months. Now you are back after those two months with your little brother who wanted to tag along with. You follow the long trail leading to Ponyville excited to see your friends once again unaware of what happened in your absence.
