When a powerful prince's world is thrown into war by the dark lord Vorust, he must send himself and his son to another world to protect him. After all, he'd do anything to keep his son safe, especially when he is all he has left. Even when it means giving him up for another species- a species of harmony, where war could never start.
At least, he hopes so.

Prologue

Chapter 1Prologue

"You will be banished to hell for what you did!" Vydaxy screamed, as he shot a magic bolt at Vorust. Vorust didn't even flinch as the bolt stunned him. 'Why isn't my magic doing anything?' Vydaxy thought. Vydaxy began to panic, scared that if his magic failed, then his son might be in grave danger. Vydaxy could not protect him. 'I need to find my son!' Vydaxy ran to the nursery while Vorust was still stunned.

Vydaxy found the nursery. Vydaxy was at the front door. Vydaxy held the doorknob and twisted it slowly, anticipating the worst. . 'Where is he?' Vydaxy muttered. He lit a light with his staff. 'Oh no...' Vydaxy whimpered. A tear fell down his eye at all the poor souls that was lost. The whole room was covered in bits of blood and black marks from were the bolts were shot. 'I need to find him...' Vydaxy gasped. When Vydaxy saw him, he embraced him in a hug, checking his life signs. 'Oh there you are...' He appeared okay; however, he was covered in blood. He didn't know who's it was. 'Shh it's ok, daddy's here...' The baby crying, Vydaxy picked up his child and powered up his Staff...

"I'm going to bring you somewhere safe, where nobody can hurt you..." Vydaxy whispered. Soon he lit up his Staff and in a flash; his child had teleported from their world.

Celestia was drinking a small cup of tea as she did some paperwork in the throne room. Luna was doing her own too. We would both laugh now and then looking at some.

After reading well over a dozen papers, there was a little breeze through the throne room, and it picked up more and more, until it stopped. Celestia and Luna looked and saw a creature. It was wearing a black robe, with a golden line going from the front edges of the hood all the down to the center of what seemed to be a chest. He was also wearing weird type of shoes, open ones with a little plastic tube that fitted through one of the digits on its... walking things. He was holding what look like a stick. It was thick and had a ball on top of it that  was red and looked like a fire forever burning in the ball. The weird thing was that it was standing on two legs.

"Help me, please you must help me." It pleaded. It sounded like a male.

"Guards, leave the room." Celestia said.

"Bu-" One guard got interrupted.

"Leave the room." All the guards left the throne room. "And why should we trust you?" Celestia said in a concern voice.

He walked closer and pushed out his forelegs, there was a baby in his hooves, pushing his forelegs outward try to grab me.

"My world is in war, who caused it is a Mage known as Vorust. To make sure my new-born infant does not get hurt, I need to bring him somewhere safe. So please? He means the world to me, and I can sense this is the safest world to be in... I'm a prince and I can't simply leave my world. I have to protect it." He said.

She thought about it.

"I shall take care of your infant. You have my word." She said.

"Thank you so much, I will try to visit him as often as possible." He said. He levitated the now sleeping baby with his magic. "Farewell..." The ball with the stick lit up, and in seconds he vanished.

"Sister, you don't even know what that thing is. So why did you accept?" Luna asked, Celestia looked at her then at the baby.

"Because I know he's telling the truth, I can feel it. Furthermore, he wants to protect his baby even if it means giving it to another species." Celestia replied; she looked back at Luna.

"Well I trust you, sister." Luna said.

"Well first let's clean him off and get some clothes are something cover up his... Private areas." Celestia said, looking after the baby covered in what looks like blood. They go through the bathroom. Luna levitated a rag; she cut on some water and got it warm, not too hot, not too cold. For Celestia, she woke up the baby and was playing with it waiting for Luna. Celestia was now playing with the baby in the bathtub, while Luna carefully washes off the baby. After the baby was clean, Luna then dried the baby off and wrapped the towel around the baby.

"So, sister." Luna said nuzzling the baby. "Do you think the baby can sleep with me tonight?" Luna asked, then looked at Celestia.

"Sure, little sister." Celestia replied. Luna was fixing to walk out the bathroom with the baby. "You also need to raise the moon."

"Oh! I almost forgot." Luna goes into her room and puts the baby on the bed; she nuzzled him for a bit until he fell asleep. Luna used her magic and raised the moon she got into her bed nuzzled the baby some more and wrapped one of her wings around him.

"Sweet dreams little one..." After a bit, Luna got out of her bed and opened the door, then toke one more glance at the baby, then walked out of the room.

"I will find that baby one way or the other." Vorust said, looking at the defeated prince. "So tell me we're he?" Vorust asked, with an evil grin.

"I shall never tell you Vorust!" Vydaxy said, as he got back up.

"Fine, be that way." Vorust said. They charge up their staff shot a massive bolt of energy.

"My son will defeat you, if I don't!" Vydaxy screamed.

"We'll have to see about that!" Vorust replied.

"AH!" Vydaxy screamed, charging at Vorust.

"AH!" Vorust screamed, charging him.

Henrik

Chapter 2Henrik

"Where did he go?" Vorust said. "He couldn't of gone far. Ormnal. Kinan, look for him now!" Vorust watched them leave the throne room. "Kyden, how do you like the throne room? It's all ours now." Vorust said, with a evil grin plastered across his face.

"I like it." Kyden chuckled. "The prince will die soon, and we will be the new prince and princess."

"We will indeed. I love you, honey." Vorust chuckled.

Celestia poked her head out the door, and looked at one of the guards. "Guards, can you find captain Silver for me?" Celestia asked.

The guard nodded. "Yes, princess. We will find him as soon as possible." The guard bowed and then  dashed down the hall. Celestia closed the door. She looked at the baby and then nuzzled it.

"Now what am I going to name you?" Celestia hummed. thinking. "Oh! I got it, I'm going to name you, Henrik. Do you like that name?" Celestia asked, nuzzling Henrik. Then she heard a knock on the door, she puts covers over Henrik, then she opens the door to see captain Silver.

"Why have you requested me, princess?" Silver asked.

"Come in Silver." Celestia said. Silver then, walked inside the room. "Now, what I tell I don't want you to tell anypony else, ok?"

"Ok, I promise." Silver said, now curios about what she was going to tell him. She then walked towards her bed and lifted her covers. What silver saw made him shocked for a minute, then he snapped out of it.

"Wa-what is that?" Silver asked, confused.

"This is Henrik. As for species, I don't know what he is. A prince from another world gave him to me, he said he'd do anything to keep his son safe so I accepted." Celestia replied.

"But it could be a threat." Silver warned.

"He's only a baby." Celestia said sternly.

"But when he grows up?" Silver asked.

"The prince sent his own son to another world just to keep him safe, and I can raise him not to be violent." Celestia replied.

"Wait, are you raising him or adopting him?" Silver asked, stunned.

"Well I thought about it, and I decided to adopted him, until his father comes back." Celestia replied.

"Well, I trust you." Silver said. "So you sent me here to see him?"

"I needed to tell you that first, before telling you the real reason you were suppose to came here." Celestia replied.

"Then what's the actual reason I came here?" Silver asked.

"I need someone to foulsit him. So I was thinking- could you foulsit him?" Celestia asked.

"I'm captain Silver shield, I can't simply foulsit, I have a squad to run and train. Maybe I can find somepony else." Silver replied. "Cadance might be a good suitor, if she wasn't off running the Crystal empire and all."

"Ok, Silver I understand. Try to find somepony." Celestia said calmly.

***

"Why have you called me in?" Lepar asked.

"It's been almost one week sense my crew went to find the prince. Why haven't they arrived yet?" Vorust asked, as he looked out the window, looking at the dust filled land. Vorust saw craters everywhere from were bolts where shot. Bodies laying all around on the street where they were shot by bolts. Pillars that had fallen, rubble everywhere- This was once a good land, now just a crater of rubble.

"I don't know, can we have search groups look for them?" Lepar asked.

"Yes, do it right away." Vorust replied.

Lepar turned around, looked at the door, then left the room. Vorust looked out the window again. The skies where filled with dust, and black clouds. 'This place has turned to hell.' Vorust thought. He could hear bits of thunder, here and there.

***

Celestia heard a knock on the door. She decided too go to the door. She then open the door and saw one of the guards.

"Yes, Blitz? What do you need?" Celestia asked.

"Silver, sent me here, you're highness." Blitz replied.

'So this is who Sliver sent, hmmm.' Celestia thought.

"Ah, come in." Celestia said. Blitz stepped into the room, he looked around a bit as he is barley able to go inside of it. But something cached his eye. Something on her bed, it was tiny, about the size of a filly. It reached out at him trying to grab his muzzle. Blitz smiled.

"Who's this?" Blitz said, smiling at the baby.

"This is Henrik, a prince from another world gave him to me, because he wanted to protect his son. So I need someone to foulsit him, so could you foulsit him?" Celestia asked.

"Sure." Blitz replied, now nuzzling Henrik. This put a smile on Celestia's face.

"I got to do my royal duties, hope you have fun with the baby." Celestia said.

***

The door slowly opens revealing, Lepar.

"Sir, we found them." Lepar said.

"Well where are they?" Vorust asked.

"Well, when we found them they where dead. Both of them where gutted alive, and there hearts are missing." Lepar replied.

"That can't be the prince, the princes are pure blood, they would never kill, they would banish or knock out the enemy. So who is this new monster?" Vorust said. "Send twelve dozen troopers to find and kill this monster!" Vorust commanded. 'I want nothing too stand in my way. I want it dead!' Vorust thought.
