Parents tell their foals that they can be anything that they want.
For me, however, it's a bit more literal.
At least it would be if my parents had said that.
Or if I knew them at all!
So what do you do when you can become anypony?
You become a spy, of course.

Wait a minute...
*five minutes of reminiscing*
I knew it!
All Hail Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All!
7496911 Hah, finally realised what it was from! Thanks for the help! XD
Nice start, but I found a couple of minor typos.
That should be "things".
And that should probably be either "palace" or "buildings".
7497012 Fixed! Thanks.
Why do I have the feeling the guard Shiny talked to will follow his example and give Sweet Leaf a summary execution on site?
Well, I'm strongly suspecting that Sweet Leaf = Storm's mama = Chryssi. I would think Shiny's the daddy, but I'd think Don could sense if he cared for him like that.
Well, I guess Shining Armor and his mother are going for a ride.
Why is it every time i find a good story it always make me wait to continue reading it!?

(Don't worry, more chapters are on the way soon.)
Echo?
7497473 I like that answer. That was a good answer.

lol. jk. Can't wait for the next chapter.
well, you have my interest, and I am going to wait until a few more chapters get posted before diving in, but this looks like a fun story to keep an eye on ^^
I become someone who has a better name.
Damn it now I have to wait.

But did anyone find the bodies?
Wait, you just pulled a scene from Star Wars
Yay!
This story is getting more and more interesting. Keep it up!
I'm calling it now (after the clue further solidified my belief) that his parents are Shining Armor and Queen Chrysalis, conceived between her taking Cadence's place, and the mass expulsion.
Dear god why
Great. Now I'm getting flashbacks to Oblivion.
Anyway, on reading this, I have to wonder if the main character has even the most remote idea how important the Crystal Heart is to the Crystal Empire and Equestria as a whole. The Crystal Empire especially, considering it's keeping out lethal weather that I am convinced hates Crystal ponies. Essentially, what I'm saying is that if he successfully removes it there's a good chance he's killed an entire city, or at the bare minimum ruined hundreds to possibly thousands of lives and turned all of the Crystal Ponies into displaced refugees.
i'm going to take a wild shot in the dark here, and say that Sweet Leaf is actually multiple changelings.
Where are the likes on this story??? It should have 10x what it does.
7516515 A fire that hot? There aren't bodies to find.
I like dis so Im sticking around for a while.

Here's something form the TV tropes page of AdventureQuest:
Everyone in this goddamn story would fit right in and Luna would win those competitions.

Right then! All the set pieces in place? Is everyone intrigued? Is everyone confused? Is everyone ready for some answers?
Good! Because this chapter marks the end of the set-up bit.
We're going to shift from Mystery for a while into Adventure with a splash of Drama. So buckle up!
Me likey very much.
