//-------------------------------------------------------// Hail to the King -by jRod057- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The Dream //-------------------------------------------------------// The Dream I walk slowly up the stairs of a castle, not knowing what's going on. As I get up to the throne room, I am greeted with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna speaking with someone the show hasn't introduced. "It's so nice to be with you again." "If only Uncle Thundy was here. I miss him Aunt Eclipsi" That's my OC. Thundy--or Thunderbolt, was the king of Equestria. He was the uncle of Celestia and Luna. Before the Cold War, the only race in Equestria was alicorn. During the Cold War, the different races started to increase, and if you were caught with a baby that wasn't alicorn, the baby would be beheaded. Thunderbolt had a pegasus, he named her Scootaloo. He was so worried about his child executed, he and his wife, Eclipsis (yet she usually likes to be called Eclipsi), sent Scootaloo 10,000 years in the future. During one of his morning walks in the Everfree Forest with his wife, they were both assassinated. His mother was executed by the people of Equestria, and then it all went downhill until all that was left of Equestria was three ponies. A unicorn, earth pony, and pegasus. Why were they calling her Aunt Eclipsis? Could it be... no that's silly. Suddenly, the mysterious mare looked over and saw me. "Thundy?!" Awoken by the sounds of my ringing alarm clock. Another day of school. //-------------------------------------------------------// Starting Over //-------------------------------------------------------// Starting Over Dragging myself out of bed, I eat breakfast, shower, and go to school. Waiting for the the bell to ring for first period, the 8th graders usually sit in the gym. I'm talking to my friends as usual. All of us were hanging out and talking about our weekend. I see my friends. We aren't a big nor popular group, but we've been here and there. "Hey Sean.", I mumbled. "Hey jRod!", all of my friends shouted. They've been known to be annoying. I made up the name jRod while i was drugged from morphine after a dentist appointment. I like the name, it's just... I don't like to be called by that name specifically. Throughout all the horseplay, a scientist walks to the middle of the gym with a mic in his hands. May I have your attention students. Everyone quickly stops talking and listens. "I have one quick question. Who wants to be an experiment for out new discovery?" The new discovery is something called black matter. It isn't dark matter, because all they know is that black matter will open up portals, yet you can't go through them. No one answers. It seems that everyone is afraid of the new discovery. Through all the silence I stand up. "I volunteer." The scientist points a fair distance away from him toward the ground. "Here please." I stand there shaking in nervousness. "Now, you might feel a little pain." He points a gun at me filled with a cartridge of black matter. He shoots me and I become woozy, eventually falling back. I wake up from the same dream. But I'm not in the same place. I'm standing face-to-face with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna behind her, both of them covered in tears. Tears of joy. Why do they look smaller? "Uncle Thundy? Is that you?" "Mother of me." "What's going on h--" I scream in pain as memories pop up in my mind. But my heart is cleansed of the filth that the humans have showed to me in those 13 years. Anger, manslaughter, murder, discord, the list goes on and on. The memories. My wedding, the Era of Harmony, peace with every nation, my first college days, becoming a music teacher. The memories cleansed me. It's been 10 thousand years since my birth. The Equestria I knew is gone. It's time to start over.
