And so he made his mission to study about magical charms, amulets and such in any way possible. Books were stolen and many questions asked, but with minimal results. Ponies apparently thought that he would use the power to get revenge on the ones who had wronged him - on the world that had wronged him. But he wouldn't do that, now would he? He only wanted to be free, maybe make his family finally proud of him in some way, maybe honor his mother who had always loved him despite his looks. But never would he harm anyone. Well, of course the thought of it had sometimes occurred, but he had just shaken his head at it and moved on to other thoughts. But only sometimes, quite rarely, to be exact.

Months went by, years went by. The stallion was starting to get desperate. How foolish of him to think that he'd ever be free. After all, he'd been a slave for nearly all his life now. But when he was ready to close the last book and give up, suddenly he struck gold. Page 23. Only a conspiracy, but still available. Only rumors, never fully confirmed, but maybe, just maybe...
He waited until his owner had left, ripped the page off and then, with it and a blue saddlebag, ran out the door.

The Badlands weren't far from the Macintosh Hills, and there were only a few easily avoidable towns on the way. The journey was quick. Now the problem was the dragons. Fire-breathing dragons, that had just migrated and were hungry. He hesitated for a while, but soon climber over the last cliff and took a glance at the volcanic valley.
The dragons didn't look nearly as malevolent as he had expected. Still pretty malevolent-looking, but none of them had attacked him yet. Seemed like a good start. He took a few steps carefully, but then decided just to walk normally. That would probably draw less attention to him.


Moving on to third person narrating.

I just got back from my "Learn To Draw Somewhat Decent Humans" camp (aka my summer cottage I took a manga-drawing book to) and I feel like drawing some Equestria Girls.
Still haven't seen the movie, but at least I dreamed about it. With a different-design Sombra (He had six wings; one pair feathered, second pair bat-wings and I can't remember what the third one was for the life of me. It wasn't a pterodactyl wing, that I can remember.) and weird beige wolf-humans. I think they were inspired by the wolf bats from LoK.
