The Pony With No Past

The Presant of Past

Previous Chapter

Everything was good in Cloud's life. Discord was gone, he had his cutie mark, and he had some great new friends. Although, there was one thing missing. He still had no idea of his own past. After they had destroyed Discord, Twilight took the group to see someone named Celestia. From the way they described her, she apparently was of great royalty. They had arrived at a large palace, confirming Cloud's prediction.

"Celestia! We defeated Discord with the help of our friend!" Said Twilight. Celestia turned and looked at Cloud, with a gaze of astonishment.

"Twilight, how did you manage to bring me this? How did you manage to keep him restrained?" Asked Celestia. Cloud looked around and saw that the royal guards were cringing and cowering at the sight of him. He wondered what he could have done for them to act like that.

"Restrained? Princess I'd like to inform you we have no reason to keep our friend here restrained!" Said Rarity.

"Of course you do! I'm trying not to be harsh, but there is no way this criminal was the one responsible for the defeating of our foe." Said Celestia. Cloud shuddered at the word criminal.

"What in Equestria are you talking about?" Said Twilight.

"Do you not know of the man you brought me? His name is Blazing Sword!" Said Celestia. The whole company drew back at the name. Everyone turned to look at Cloud, who sat there puzzled.

"Princess, there's no way this guy is Blazing Sword! He's kind and he's nice to us all!" Said RainbowDash.

"He is! He is the rebel who caused one of the greatest problems in all of Equestria! The Great

Gold Heist!" Said Celestia. His heart dropped. His eyes widened. His memory returned at the sound of those words. The Great Gold Heist. It started with a man named Blazing Sword, a royal guard, with evil intentions. When he had the perfect chance, he snuck into the Equestrian gold stash and stole all the gold. He took all the gold and hid it, and when the guards came after it, Blade defended it with his life. He used a sword and sliced away at the guards, and even went as far as to throw large rocks at them. Eventually one guard by the name of Shining Armor knocked him to the ground and returned the gold. They tried to return him to the palace, but he managed to get away. He ran and remained hidden for a year, but on accident he fell of a large hill and hit his head on a boulder. A bunch of smaller rocks hit him and he lost his memory, just lying out in a field. That was him. That was... Him. As he came back from his memories Cloud ran from the palace crying. He never wanted to be seen again. He was a criminal.

"Wait, Cloud! Come back!" Yelled Twilight. They ran after him and found him hiding in a dark corner, crying.

"Cloud..." Said Fluttershy.

"I'm not Cloud..." Said Cloud trembling, " I'm Blazing Sword. I deserve to be alone!"

"What you did before doesn't matter! You just saved the world from pure chaos! You redeemed yourself and you're a new man!" Said Twilight.

"D-D-Do you really think so?" Said Cloud.

"I'm certain." Said Fluttershy, putting a hoof around his shoulder, "Everything will be fine.". Cloud looked her in the eye and found comfort there. He smiled at her an nodded his head. Just then Celestia appeared.

"Blazing Swo... I mean, Cloud, what you have done for us greatly out balances what you have done wrong. It's ok to feel ashamed, but you have redeemed yourself and you will not receive punishment. As a matter of fact, you will receive celebration!" Said Celestia.

Later that day there was a party to celebrate the defeating of Discord and the good deed of Cloud. Everyone was happy, and all were merry. There were lights and streamers everywhere (courtesy of Pinkie), and lots of cider and other drinks for all. While most were about partying on person sat away from the rest. Cloud. As much as he'd love to celebrate, he was very tired. He spied Fluttershy standing by a table, drinking. She looked at him and smiled. He smiled back, but only before he drifted off to sleep.

Cloud was happy.


Author's Note

And we reached the end of the Pony with No Past! I'm glad it's all finished and I'm very happy with the turnout. Even though I started off poorly, I learned and came together to make this story. Thank you to anyone who has read this story! See you next story! Bye, from Cloud.
