The Crystal of Light (open, Canterlot start)

[salmana]

A long time ago Salmana's mother, Comara, was on a great treasure hunt to find the crystal of light, but ever since then she was never heard of again, and the last thing she was ever seen was entering the Everfree forest to find the cave to the guardian of the weapon of light.

A lot of ponies knew about this crystal, it was supposed to make light magic stronger and it was able to produce a light of its own, but she wondered why her mother went missing when she went to look for it, the crystal itself is harmless but the thing guarding it was twisted and dark.

As she got packing for this adventure she knew that she would have to go light, but she thought not too, so she packed food, water, some of her weak potions, her white cloak, and even a small marble, she never knew about this marble until early in the morning when she was rummaging through stuff and when she did see it a flashback went into her mind, she remembered that her mother gave it to her, and Salmana's mother said that it was her good luck charm when she went treasure hunting, so Salmana has always kept it close to her as a child.

Salmana has worked her to get up to her mothers amount of rare treasure and she thinks she is able to go and find the weapon of light, but she wasn't sure if she should go by herself, but knowing almost no pony, she had no pony to go to, so she got ready with supplies and other items, but before she left her brother stopped her "Sal, don't go, our mother was never seen again, and i don't want the same to happen to you." he says and his eyes are full of tears and his voice was raspy and cracked also his mane was messed up. "don't worry about me, i just hope some pony will ask i am doing and help but until then i have no one to turn to." and now the same tears are in her eyes and she started to cry with her brother.

She trotted out of her house, and the streets of Canterlot were busy today but she didn't teleport to the everfree forest instead she just walked in the streets and hoped to get a pegasus chariot would be able to take to her to ponyvile so she can walk the rest of the way to the Everfree forest.

Salmana is equipped with a white cloak with a hood, two heavy saddle bags filled with equipment and other supplies for this journey, and she even has a note of her mothers last words before she left to find the weapon.

Salmana knew that this journey would be dangerous and that it could hurt her if she went, but if she does find the place that her mother went to then she can find the crystal and maybe her mother, she just hoped that some pony would bump into her and help her out or she would just have to do this by herself.
