Hi there! I'm not the best at MLP drawing, but I thought I might give it a try and make your OC. I hope you like it! PS. If you'd like the OC not to be flying, I can redo another one.

"Um... Okay..." Sunny Melody slowly walked through the door, hearing the strange but sweet voice of the unknown pony who had greeted her and Ace. The room she entered was unexpectedly nice for such a dark appearance. Half of Sunny wanted to run away, but half of her felt right at home in this strange new place.

"Sure!" Sunny quietly squeaked in answer to Moonlit's question. She instinctively channeled magic to her horn, but it seemed harder than usual. ​It must be that weird mist stuff... Sunny Melody thought, remembering the strange forces that had clouded her mind and weakened her body. She tried to summon light again, this time more focused. Sunny smiled has she felt her horn spark, but her focus immediately dropped - and her magic halted - as soon as she heard a strange voice form inside the darkened manor.

I'd choose Languages. I love music, but I already play a lot of instruments, and to me musical beauty lies in its imperfection. Also speaking every language is a huge (and awesome) accomplishment!

Sunny sighed as her mind cleared of the strange mist and hallucinations. What the hay was that? She thought as she slid off Moonlit's back and began to trot alongside him. Her thoughts turned to the odd manor in front of her, now looking much scarier and stranger. It was a large and intimidating building, rising several stories above the ground. It was painted with layers of dark gray paint, peeling to reveal strange and rotted wood. It's roof was paneled with shingles black as night, and it's closed shutters (as well as the menacing spiked fence on the top of the roof) were shining silver like moonlight. Sunny Melody gulped as she and Ace trotted up to the huge wooden doors. Here we go...

Sunny Melody was regaining consciousness a little, but she was still very dizzy. She looked up to see the structure she and Moonlit Ace were trotting towards, and was met with a huge mansion, large and menacing in appearance. In her clouded mind, strange shapes swam around it, but they were fading by the second as her vision cleared.

Sunny Melody's head was still swimming, and her ears filled with static, ringing, and strange noises. However, she still managed to pick up one word of Moonlit Ace's headache-inducing speech. Animosity. That was what this place was. Rage, fear, and pure hatred. Sunny's already confused mind was torn. A great deal of her wanted to run away from this horrible place, to run away and never come back. But a small sliver of her - a tiny fraction of her damaged mind - longed so much to find out more about this new and unknown place. "Keep going..." she spoke.

Sunny was attempting to describe what she was seeing to Moonlit Ace. "It looks like... sort of a house, maybe..." Sunny Melody's eyes were watering from the air rushing past, and Moonlit's mane was flashing in and out of her vision. "It seems really old, and kind of dark. Not just in color, but it feels weird. And there-" Sunny was cut off by a strange force hitting her body. It was a bit like the wind flying past her and Ace, but much colder and more... unnatural. Sunny's vision felt clouded and dim. Her head swam with unknown and dizzying thoughts. She felt as if she was flying through mist, but more magical and much more mysterious. Sunny Melody felt very cold, and very, very tired... The little unicorn was only half-aware, and hardly noticed the dark and looming shadow of the enormous manor as she and Moonlit Ace descended to the unknown ground.

"Right... there!" Sunny Melody said form atop Moonlit's shoulders. The pegasus' head and mane blocked most of her view, but far below she could see a large clearing in the woods, and a bit of something dark and glittering in the center. "It's like... a lump thing. It's in a clearing int he woods and it looks dark and weird..." Sunny leaned close to Moonlit's ear so the wind couldn't whisk her words away.

Sunny Melody grinned as the wind rippled through her mane. She'd always wanted to fly! She could feel the beating of Moonlight's wings behind her as she gazed down at the mighty forest zipping past below. "What's that?" Sunny asked as she spotted an area free of trees on the distant ground. She hoped Ace could hear her over the sound of the whistling wind.

"Fine." Sunny said with a comical scowl. She hoisted herself onto Ace's lower neck (the least awkward spot possible) and wrapped her hooves around his face obliviously. Her back hooves were just south of his green and white mane, and her face was buried in his monster of a hat.

(Posting from iPhone) Sunny Melody giggled at Ace's joke. "Tee-hee! You're funny! But I can just do a flying spell." She hoped she could at least. Flying spells we're difficult magic, and Sunny had only performed one successfully once. Eh, Viola seemed pretty powerful, and she could handle it if Sunny couldn't. Probably...

"A map is great, but I don't have wings..." Sunny gestured to her bare flank, but her face lit up with an idea. "Are you gonna let me ride on you? I've always wanted to do that! So, do you have, like, a saddle or anything?" Sunny stopped that train of thought and decided to ask a question instead. "Wait, what do you mean about stuff "going on" here...?"

Sunny Melody responded to Viola: "Wow, cool! I love weird magic and potions and stuff!" Sunny noticed the unicorn had a troubled look on her face, but she turned to Ace instead as he suggested he fly ahead. At Moonlight's suggestion, she put down her violin case (again), and promptly sat down on her haunches. "I don't care if you want me to follow you." Sunny said with a completely straight face.

"Nice to meet you, Viola! Hey, I play the viola! Do you play, too? Maybe we could do a duet together at-" Sunny Melody cut off her own sentence before she got too carried away, and turned to Ace to speak. "Anyway, I'm glad to know there's a manor somewhere nearby. I guess it's the same one Viola's talking about, but I'm just glad for a place to stay. I was getting ready to sleep in a log for the night!" Sunny wrapped her violin case once again in her magic, lifted it in the air, and got ready to trot off. "So, where is this manor you speak of?"

"Hi!" Sunny Melody chirped to the pegasus, now known as Moonlit Ace. "So what are you doing here this late at night? I'm on my way to a concert, performed by myself, of course." Sunny turned to the strange unicorn now. "On a similar note, why are you here?" The mare's eyes now drifted off to the distance, deep with philosophy. "Why are any of us here..."

"Oh..." Sunny Melody's killer instinct immediately halted as a strange and calming light shot out from an unknown source, banishing the darkness and revealing the strange swooping shadow to be nothing more than an ordinary black-and-green pegasus. He dropped to the ground and closed his wings, completely unthreateningly in the day-like light. Sunny turned her head to the source of said light, and her gaze fell on a silhouette of a unicorn, dark as a shadow against the heavenly light emitting from its horn. Sunny Melody lowered her violin case to the ground and released it from her magic. She turned to the pegasus and smiled, any worry completely gone. "My name's Sunny Melody. You?"

Sunny Melody let out an audible yelp as the shadow swooped towards her. She whipped around to face it, just as the leaves rustled and a twig snapped to her back. She turned around again, her worry replaced with fear replaced with primal bravery as she swung her violin case threateningly at the approaching danger.

Sunny needed a place to stay very badly now. It was already pitch black, and the temperature was dropping by the minute. She was pretty sure snowflakes were falling, and some frost was definitely gathering in the sparse grass beneath her hooves. The cobblestone path had ended long ago, and she was now simply trotting towards the mountains, where she knew her destination was. Her happy atmosphere had now dropped away completely, and her primal concern was the monsters that obviously inhabited the woods to her (distant) right, but growing closer as she made a beeline for the mountains. Luna guide my path... As Sunny Melody gazed up to the moon, her green eyes fell on a shadow passing over it. It looked almost like a pegasus, but no pony would be out in this remote area at this time of night... would they?

Sunny Melody's hooves clip-clopped down the broken cobblestone road as she trotted through the barren moor, speckled with forests on the horizon, and shaded by distant mountains. Her happy and passive mood she'd retained for most of the traveling day began to fade to reveal a spark of worry. It was getting late, and she might be slightly maybe probably lost. Sunny was on her way to a musical performance - hers, specifically. It was located in a small but noteworthy mountain town near Las Pegasus. There was an autumn celebration with lots of singing and dancing, and her musical talent - specifically with string instruments - had made her perfect for the job. Just as long as I can get there... Sunny Melody took a moment to rest and plan the rest of her journey. She'd ridden a train this far, and she'd expected the walk to be short. But it was getting late and she needed a place to stay for the night. Then a mist began to roll in. It seemed to have a strange sparkle to it, and seemed out of place in the clear twilight air. Heh heh, Twilight Sparkle... Sunny's mind began to fill with jokes and puns concerning the newly crowned Princess of Friendship. She'd always wanted to be a comedian. However, the cream-colored unicorn mare righted her mind, lifting up her previously resting violin case, and trotting off with a new purpose: Finding a place to stay for the night.
