Chapter 1: Flight

*CRASH!* as a chair broke above Solaris’s bed. “Dance freak!” Blueblood yelled as he flung another chair with magic. “Come on!” Solaris thought as he concentrated his magic. Just as his horn started to flicker with sparks another chair was thrown. This time it hit him in the side knocking him off his bed. What’s wrong, little freak Alicorn Can’t use magic yet? He laughed. Staggering to his hooves Solaris focused again. This time his horn sparked to life, as another chair levitated just above his head. Releasing he flung it at his older brother. Caught in mid-laugh the chair hit him just under the jaw and sent him in a back flip. “How was that?” Solaris teased back.

“BOYS!” their mother called “Down here now!” With a grunt Blueblood got back up. “Now you’re in for it, mom never liked you I bet I can blame all of this on you and she’ll believe me.” He said, as he trotted past Solaris. “But you started it! I di-““Didn’t you hear me?” Blueblood asked cutting him off. “Mom NEVER liked you.” He giggled as he sped off down the hall. “That can't be true” Solaris thought.

Following him down the hall his mind wandered. That would explain a lot. He entered the living room of the Blue Blood manor. Blueblood started his fake tears routine as his mother hugged him. “Shh shh shh, mommy will figure this out” she said, sweetly. As Solaris entered the room she glared at him. “What do excuse do you have for yourself?” “I was lying down and he threw a chair at me and started calling me a freak because I am an Alicorn. I didn’t do anything to him until he hit me with a chair.” “That’s not true mommy, I was practicing daddy’s light spell when he hit me in the mouth with my chair” Blueblood cried, more tears starting. He lifted his chin so his mom could see the little mark the chair arm made on him.

“Sol, mind trying to lie your way out of this?” their mom began. “But he hit me first mom” Solaris said lifting a wing showing her a bruise that started to form obviously on his bright yellow body. His mom did a half glance “Doesn’t look like a chair made that. You know what? You have caused nothing but trouble for your brother. And the thought of him making fun of you for being an Alicorn is ridiculous! Go back to your room and clean that mess up. Don’t come back until morning we will see what your Father has to say about this.” Solaris just stood there wide eyed. She didn’t believe him. Why? “Well get moving!” his mom scolded. He put his head down and began his walk to his room when he heard. “Just make him leave, mom” Blueblood said “Hush!” their mom scolded. “But mom you said yourself you wished he was never born.” “Shut up child!” turning around with tears in his eyes,
“M-mom?” looking down his mother closed her eyes. “Don’t believe that Sol.”

A tear hit the floor. His mother didn’t want him. She wouldn’t deny it. Solaris’ eyes flicked to Blueblood, who sat wearing an evil smile, mouthing the words TOLD YOU SO. Solaris took a step back with a sniff as he tried to look brave. “Well wish granted!” he yelled as he galloped off to his room. When he made it to his room he grabbed the blanket off his bed and kicked open the window to his room. He was about two stories up quite a large fall for a young colt. Blanket in his mouth he stepped on the ledge there was a slight breeze. “I always wanted to do this” he thought. “Wait!” his mom called.

Tears flowing down his face he stood there on the window ledge waiting for her. As she entered the room he locked eyes with her and he jumped. The wind rushed past him as a smile spread across his face. Snapping open his wings they slowed his decent and put him into a glide. Being an inexperienced flier he began to lose his balance. “Whoa!” he yelped and immediately began to regret it as his blanket was swept from his mouth. This returned his balance and he glided on, straight into the Everfree forest.
