Some things can never be forgotten and no matter how hard they try it'll always come back.

Hello everyone today I'm going to tell you a story of a boy who came to this world expecting it to be filled with laughs, joy, and adventure. Although he may have been right about adventure being part of his life, but he was wrong on the laughs and joy…..don't miss understand the laughs and joy were in his life, but only for a short amount of time for you see he was born to be corrupt to be filled with hatred and anger,with doubt and madness. He was destined to be this way from the very beginning and no matter how much he resented it he could not escape his true self on who he was suppose to become…..some may refer to him as a monster, some worship him as a God, but to me he was my friend…..a friend lost in his thoughts. I may miss my friend dearly, but he can never return to his home for his crimes on his land can never be forgiven……..or forgotten .
This is his story.

His beginning

The soft clicking of the gentle rain can be heard in the now quiet kingdom, the citizens have gone to bed and the pony's who are still awake are busy finishing off work from their daily lives, but no matter how quiet the rain can be they always seem to over hear the soft cries of a lonely infant left alone in an alley way.

Abandon by it's mother and forgotten by it's father and no matter how hard it seems to cry no one seems to listen, except (or by mere chance) for a lone stallion who happened to hear it's distress.

He had just finished his work his work at the mills, and dragged his tired body back home for some rest, "Ugh." he says, " Eight hours of work and all I got is 10 bits, it'll be a miracle if I can get enough to eat for this week......(sigh).". As he continue to make his way home he heard a strange noise coming to his left....it sounded....like.

He stopes...and turns his head and listens closely for the noise he says,"What the heck is that?".

As he lay eyes on the alley he can hear a cry in the darkness," I must be tired I'm starting to hear things." he says choosing not to believe and walks away, but he heard it again he heard it again except this time wasn't as strong as the last.

As if it was dying.....the cries lasted for a good minute then slowly starts dying down, he chooses now to believe it to be a living infant in the there. Running as fast as his tired legs could to reach the baby in time before something were to happen, and the closer he got the louder it's weak cries got.

"Hang in there I'm coming!" he said with the limited breath he could muster out, growing more despret with each step to finding the child, but sky was black as coal and there was no other light source near by. The only light that could be given was the lighting, but it only comes out so often he couldn't rely on that.

"Come on where can it where can....", (Crack) a loud thunder was made and all across the kingdom it could be heard and with the thunder quieting down a loud crying could be heard next to a pile of wood and garbage.

He slowly approached it and carefully removed the junk that was laying on the child and with it crying even more to be free, "Sshh it's ok, it's ok Silvers got his got you." trying his best to calm it down and then....he found him the poor abandon baby wrap head to toe in a soaked and dirtied blanket covering it's entire body.

Silver was surprised to see that it was still alive, but what shocked him more was the fact that a pony could just leave a child here all alone. So he picked it up with his hands and cradled it in his arms, "I've got you now don't worry." and the baby only responded with cuing and babbling.

Silver placed his hand over the blanket that was covering the baby and said, "Now let's find out if your a boy or a girl." and began removing it, when the child's face was shown Silvers face was stunned in fear and sadness.

He slowly placed his hand on his mouth and tears were flowing down his cheek, he then softly whispered, "What happened to you?", what he had seen on the child's face was something that.....no child should bear. His forehead had gashes and burned looking skin, but it also look......healed as if it was always there.

He also had a large hole on it's left cheek you can literally see the inside of it's mouth with some skin still attached, and for his eyes well......it's right is not where it's supposed to be becaus on a normal baby the eyes would be alined, but it's right eye just lingered far down to his cheek and it makes Silver wonder if it can even see with that eye.

For it's eye brows....well at least one has fully grown will the other is barley visible.

It's hasn't grown yet, so he can assume it's still pretty young, but for a baby to have this.......disgusting marks on it's face it makes you wonder on what happened to it and how it even got here.

"Ugh..(cough) Oh man..", He almost wants to puke on the sight he is seeing, but he feels more......pity on it and thinks maybe his disfigurement is the reason for it's parents absence, Silver says, " I can't leave here I don't what reason your idiot parents give no one leaves there child to die.......even if you look....horrifying.....come one your coming home with me I'm sure my wife will.......tolerate you."

So as the child rested in Silvers arms they made their way back to his house where it can receive the proper care it needs, "Oh wait I need to if your a boy or a girl, just we can decide a name for you." he says, so he begins to unwrap the blanket completely and says, "Oh so your a boy then."

After an hour of walking they made it to Silver's home.

His house wasn't much to look at, but it was suitable for him and his wife to live in. It had a brown paint that covered all of the house and seemed to be fading away, there was some damage to the walls in certain areas, it had two windows on the bottom floor and the top had one, but it was crack.

"Well here it is little guy it's not much, but this all we can afford for now, come on let me show you your new mommy.", the baby just grunted in response, "Oh don't be like that I'm sure she'll........ok just cross your fingers." he says with a nerves chuckle and slowly walked into the house. The door made a loud crack as he slowly tried to open the door, "Huh I wonder if she's here?" and shortly his question was answered, "Silver is that you?" she said with an excited tone, Silver says, "Yes I'm home Rain and I've brought.....something with me.".

"Really?" Rain says, "Hold on I'm coming down."

Silver began to feel....nerves and grew scared with every step she made on the stairs is she going love him, is going to make him throw it away or giving to some other parents or she wasn't going to believe him that he found a baby on the streets, because finding an orphane child is something unheard of.

With the final thump Silver broke out of his thoughts and look at his wife, she wore a plain green dress with her wings coming fro  the back and the colors from her dress were fading and it look a tad dirty, she had orange hair with a red coat.

She says,"Ok I'm here, so what is it you...(gasp)....is that a.......a baby?"

"Yeah."

"Well what the heck are you doing with a baby you were supposed to be bringing money not......children!"

"Look let me explain I..."

"Where the heck did you get it or did you.....I my did you take it from someone! "

"What no I didn't! "

" I mean I know we had problems trying to get a kid, but you didn't had t....." she was interrupted by Silvers when he placed his finger on her mouth.

He says, "Look I didn't take it from anyone I found it on the street alone with nobody around if I didn't do anything it would have died ok." she nods her head. She then says, "But why did you bring it here we can barley feed ourselves and now you bring in another mouth to feed! "

"If I didn't do anything then who will, or would you have preferred it if I left him there to rot!"

"No I wouldn't it's just.....I....I don't want it to starve and......we can't do anything for it." Rain says with tears rolling down her eyes, Silver then approaches her and hugs her, "Look it'll be fine I'll....I'll get another job or work overtime or something."

"I guess, but are you sure you can handle it?"

He stretches his and arms out and starts flexing "Pfft you know me I'm big boy I can take care of my self."

"Ha alright you can stop doing that we both know there's nothing there.", Silver gasp at the insult, but just laughs along with her

Rain then says, "Alright now let me see the little munchkin." as she approaches the baby and unwraps the blanket from him, "Wait, wait don't!" he try's to stop her, but...."Aahh! "
