Introduction: After The Depression and My Childhood

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Once I was born, I was an orphan already. My parents dropped me out, or just left me on the porch to be precise. I wasn't like others. I was a bit special, I knew spells when I was born. That phenonema is very rare, even Starswill The Bearded didn't have that kind of gift. As he put it in the book "Analzying Unicorns", he put it "That unicorns who know spells from birth may be a natrual thing, or carred out by Celestia herself. If it is the first option, then it just the father who carried genes of great importance, and the second option is that the filly is special, and is going to be a great unicorn."

My step-parents had just a little good in them, and it is letting me in. But, on the other hoof, they were greedy and selfish ponies. And crazy, in fact. Sometimes they acted like animals, even at times had sex while acting a monkey. Yes, a fucking monkey.  Crazy shit it was my childhood. But, then it was sometimes happy...

While in the 7th grade, I had no friends whatsoever. Everypony was distant from each other, thus, making the school not socializable. But then, a new pony had moved in, Soapy. Nopony really greated him, even the teachers didn't, and that is how transfers were here. Every month or so, a new pony would move in, but no one would greet him/her. But here was Soapy, a normal pony, with a medium-low class family. With me getting more confidence, and courage, I greeted him, and he was suprised. Nopony ever greeted him through transfers, so he hugged me and said, "You are my hero, litreally.". From that moment, we were friends. Everyday, wewould chat on diffrent topics. One day, there was our families, another day, there was philosophy. It was great fun.

While in 9th grade, one day, he didn't come. It was weird, since he would go to school everyday. First I though that he was sick, so he couldn't come to school. That's all I thought, really. But then, something strange burned into my brain. At first, I though it was something misplaced. I though that... something bad happened to Soapy. I don't know how, but that's what my soul was telling me...

For a month already, there wasn't any news or any sign from Soapy, or his parents. Some said that he, and his family, simply vanished, or were taken by some goverment program to exterminate religious ponies. Soapy was religious. He belived in Celestia and Luna, that they still raise the sun at day, and the moon. So was his mother and father. I was worried. I was actually paranoid. One of my best friends, could be anywhere right now.

I was stoned to death when I heard the news. Two months later, after the mysterious dissaparence of Soapy and his family, the goverment has confirmed that 100% of all religious families were exterminated, as they were "a threat to the security of Equestria". I was mad as hell. The anger boiled into rage and agony. One of my best friend... died, for just beliving of what he was beliving in. It was complete injustice. I had died inside. Forever.

After I had graduaded high-school, I still couldn't belive of what Jinis (the "president" of Equestria) had done to Soapy. The university was a bit of a bitch, but I got through with good degrees. I wanted to move into Hoofington, since they "offered" jobs there.

Before stepping into the train to Hoofington, from Stalliongrad, I said to myself, "This might be the best decision I've ever made, or the worst one yet."
