How can you be normal when you past and appearance bring nothing but pain and exile

Running away from home…
Witnessing ones you care for go up in flames…
Have everyone judge you for the way you look

How can Eclipse live a normal life when normal has crashed and burned ever since he was young

Run as fast as you can

Equestria.....a place of harmony and solitude....give me a BREAK!!!

Nopony ever accepts any other pony who is not what they are!! Parasprites, Changelings, Griffons. What makes you think you'll ever be one of them if they can't see through whats on the outside....

Eclipse, aged 1

"Isn't he beautiful, he has your chartreuse eyes Nightingale."

"But he has your crimson blue hair, my sweet Bermuda. Even your grandmother's silver streak tips."

"His grey coat is what I love about him. It just screams the night."

"But his wings....there a little off..."

"Nightingale, you must not worry! His bat wings will grow in size once he starts to fly. That's how you got such majestic wings"

"Majestic is what we need, especially for a prince of the Bat Colony!"

Eclipse, aged 5

"Harder, Harder! HARDER!!"

"I can't!"

"Eclipse, you must flap HARDER! A prince cannot have the incapability to lead his subjects to the night sky"

"I can't! My wings can't lift me high enough!"

"Nonsense! You must try harder! And do it now" SMACK!

"AAAAAHHHH!!!!"

Eclipse, aged 9

"Mother, why does Father do this?"

"Darling, it is not of my concern what your Father does during flight lessons"

"But you can fly, why can't you teach me?"

"Your father has higher skills in flying so he is better teaching..."

"But don't you see what he does! Can't you help?!"

"I'm sorry my sweet, I just can't"

".....why marry him if all you do is watch him beat his children from the sidelines....."

Eclipse, aged 11

"ECLIPSE! ECLIPSE WHERE ARE YOU! ECLIPSE! STOP IT THIS INSTANCE AND COME OUT!"

"Bermuda, why bother, he is nothing without his wings"

"HOW DARE YOU! Last year his wings grew significantly and can fly like a true prince"

"But he does not accept them. how can he be prince if he does not accept his true destiny?"

"His true DESTINY! YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT DESTINY AFTER THE WAY YOU TREATED HIM"

"HUSH BERMUDA! I TREAT HIM RIGHT! YOU ARE THE REASON HE HAS RUN AWAY! NOT ME!!!"
