Night star is a teen colt that carries the life's and compassion of his friends on this shoulders and lost all of his caring for life when his old friends died in front of him but he can't die, even if he wants to.

Who here has been shot, stabed, hit with magic, poisoned, had a head crushed by a block of cement, and drowned and came out looking unharmed? I have and I now want to see the friends that I have lost. I am a guardian, it is what I am. But what is a guardian when he can't guard his friends.

Night star is a colt at the age of 14 that is invincible yet has seen it all. He is friendless and alone since his dad died when he was only 6. Now when people need someone like him, he is unsure for why should he guard something he hates? Will he save equestria or let it fall and to his hope, die.

If someone could make the cover art I will be thankful.

never again...

Why me? Why do I have this gift?

Night star cried that all night and all day as all around him were the bloody corpses with organs strained about of his only friends he had ever had. Gashes, teeth marks and what remained of bruises were all over them. Yet Night was unharmed and as guards found the poor colt, he looked guilty, covered in blood that was not his own.

3 hours later...

Luna did not come to the trial in what most thought was anger, they could not be farther from the truth. It was in sorrow and disbelief.

Why? Why my student and more? Why night my..

Her thoughts were interrupted by Celestia coming in and telling her that the punishment for Night was death. Luna broke into tears....

"May I ask something, why guilty?"

"Because, you re a murderer and a killer now SHUT UP" the guard yelled at Night.

As the crowded formed, Night was being prepared to die. The guards looked at Night with confusion for even full grown stallions are afraid of death yet they felt no fear coming from this young colt. Instead they felt him to be at peace knowing he is dead meat. They could not understand it. No one could understand.

As the time that he would hopefully die, the guy to do the deed sharpened his newly made Axe, celestia tried to understand her sisters pain and Night smiled in hope.

Soon my friends, soon I can see you again.

12 hours later...

"Today, we witness the death of a murder and killer, Night star." The speech continues for a short time. Lance said one thing before they put him down on the chopping block, only one thing

"Why am I guilty when I-"

He was cut off by the guard behind him pushing him down and gagging him.

As the axe lifted up, the guard could have sworn that he did not show fear again in his final moments. The axe came down when everypony within a 50 mile radius heard a sound of a window shattering. Everypony looked around to see were the noise came from and eventually, their eyes settled on the chopping block. The axe was in shards everywhere.

They looked at Night and night was unharmed. They brought out a silvered axe encase he was a demon with the same results. They eventually grabbed a crossbow and shot a bolt in to his head, same outcome. Night was unharmed.

Spiting out the gag, Night said "Why guilty when I watched as my friends and family died while I lived!" Night cried "They were my only friends and they were murdered in front of me! So I say, WHY GUILTY! Never more will I see their faces. Never more will I laugh and play with them. Why? Because they were murdered! And you blamed me! You blame me for killing me only friends and my father!"

If anypony was not paying attention or was trying to ignore that this was going on they were now. The guard that felt sorry for him and did not believe that Night killed all those people came up and grabbed him, hoisted him up, and took him away.

Meanwhile...

When the royal princesses heard the sound they looked out the window to see the axe in shards. Now Celestia knew what was going on while Luna looked in horror.

"He cant be, can he? No please no. For his sake, please tell me that he is not a-" Luna was cut off.

"He is. I'm sorry for all the pain the this day has brought you. First the murder and now your-"

"I know! I just, I need a moment alone. This is to much for me."

10 minutes later....

Night was dragged to a hidden armory under the castle. The place was dark, yet in a strange way, bright.You could see perfectly yet know that it is really dark. He heard the guard mutter "Why a kid? It does not make sense."

Night ignored the guard and focused on the weapons on the wall. They were amazingly crafted and designed. But they seemed, odd to him. It almost seemed like they were his but he never have seen them before.

"Come" the guard said " we are almost to the forge. hm?"

The guard looked at Night and saw his cutiemark form. It was of a blue and red twin swords crossed over a purple shield. The guard thought Man, he is the guardian. I am so sorry kid, but you will have a terrible road in front of you, filled with sorrow.

Night looked at the forge and was in heaven with the quality of the armor and weapons every where. He paused in front of a curtain peace of armor. It was a cloak with shoulder armor on one side. He took it, put it on, and looked in the mirror.

The alicorn that looked back was a alicorn without the capability to use magic at all, practically making him an Pegasus, with a black coat and a dark blue and red mane and silver eyes that were not blind.

"Hey kid! Wow, you look like you could kill and you are not even welding a sword. Any ways, come here I need you for a second it is important."

Night being as silent as ever came to see what was needed, but not before folding up the cloak and hiding it in a saddle bag he found.

Up above in Luna's room...

Were is that brat! thought Celestia I should find him easily! Unless, god dam it! Lance must be with him! That bastard is a master of anti-seeking spells!

"He will get away and become what he is destined to, you know that don't you." said Luna with remorse in her voice "He is to powerful, even when dormant as he is."

Back to Night...

"This will hurt if it can touch you." said Lance holding a needle "It will allow us to give you a free will weapon, a weapon that you can summon forth at any time. Only 3 ponies have ever done it successfully and I think you can as well."

Night reluctantly put his forelegs out and was surprised to find that the needles penetrated his skin. He felt no pain however and was confused of why.

Suddenly, two marks appeared on his forelegs, one was a blue fire the other a red wave. Both seem to be like the other in some way. Out of curiosity, Night taped the blue one to find a blue short sword in that hand that held the mark. He did the same with the other with the same result but a red blade instead. With a spark of interest he pressed both at the same time to find a half blue have red long sword in his hooves that pulsed with raw energy.

"Now you truly are a guardian." stated Lance

"Wait,... what?"

Legend of the guardians (history lesion)

100 years before Nights story...

"Come, we have to get out of here lady Celestia!" shouted a guard over the sound of bashing on the sun princesses door "How did they get passed our defenses? We are the royal guard for pete sake!"

Celestia ran and then the unexpected happened. when she ran she was cut off by a bandit swinging a sword at a filly. She did not yell but was awed at the sight. The filly smirked as the sword shattered the moment it touched the young unicorn. But instead of using magic, the foal somehow summoned a long sword that was colored black and white and slashed the bandit. as more came to out number the foal, they all fell to her skill and her untouchable coat.

When the battle was over, Celestia came up to the young mare and tied to talk to her but then felt a force 10 times greater than hers and looked at the mare. The mare was bleeding but had overwhelming magic energy pulsing out of her, so strong that Celestia could barely stand up. She looked up at the magic died to see the filly dead from lose of blood. Blood coated Celestia as she tried to not only save the filly but to find the power source. When Celestia gave up on both, she found the sword not only gone but a colt fighting the rest of the bandits and a fully grown dragon bred to kill at the same time with out fear.

What are these young ponies? They are to powerful to be normal, and what about that sword? First it came out of nowhere then it disappears! What is going on?! Plus the sword shattered the moment it touched the filly then it suddenly unleashed a crap ton load of magic energy then died out of nowhere! thought Celestia.

Suddenly, the filly got up, summoned the sword and walked to the colt outside. The colt had defeated the dragon and the bandits and was joined by two others besides the filly that Celestia saw. Each had a sword that had different colors. Black, white, red, blue, orange, green, purple, yellow.

They all then looked at Celestia and said in unison "We are sorry, but our orders by the one's that made us together state that we must kill you. We are sorry and If you keep calm, we will make it quick and painless."

Celestia laughed at them then stopped realizing they were serious. She then saw them not as young filly's and a colt but as demons, little demons that kill with out mercy or thought. Then it struck her of why they were invincible and smiled. She now knew how to kill them....

Before the lunar princesses banishment...

"He is so beautiful, my son is." stated Luna "But if I want my revenge I must do the normally unthinkable. I am sorry my son. always remember that mommy loves you." Then, opening a portal to the future, placed her son on the door step in the future, sure that she will never see him again, only leaving a note with his name on it.

After Lance was done giving Night the history lesion...

"What did Luna have to do with any thing? It has no part in the lesion." questioned Night "And how are you still alive if you saw all that?"

"To your first question, It is for me to know and you to find out. To your second one, it is kinda a long story that we do not have time for. Now that we know that you are the guardian, we have years to train you before you can see the light of day again but don't worry, I have ways of knowing what is going on in the world."

7 years of training went and the only people who remembered the day that Night was accused were the princesses for different reasons....

"Now you have been trained, there is one last lesion for you, my student." Said Lance "It is the legend of people like you."

"It is said that the alicorns are the most powerful beings on this world, well that is not 100% true. You see, magic flows though us  all, even earth ponies. Unicorns can control the flow to use magic. Well what happens when your magic instead of flowing gets stored? You most likely see were I am going. It makes any thing that touches the being shatter if it means harm. If the magic starts to flow again, who knows what would happen. That is were the lesion 7 years ago comes in. Celestia  made the magic flow inside of the previous guardians, giving  her the power of a god. And since she has the power, so does her sister.  But when the magic flows out, it kills the guardian by the sher force of the magic. She realized this when they had to attack and her magic that she is amazing at is unlocking potential with magic. She killed them instead of finding a alternative route to sub do them. That is why after I release you, avoid her at all cost. She will kill you and others like you. I know that you don't care about life after what happened, but there are reasons to push on. Please be the guardian for these three; the killer, the ranger and the Shielder. I do not know who they are but please-"

Lance was cut off by a spear though his head. "Finally he is dead." Stated a blood splattered princess "Now for the guardian"

"Fail Celestia fail." Said a voice that sounded like Lance across the room "you of all people should know that killing me is not that simple. Now, you bich, time for a fare fight." Then a figure came out of the shadows.

It was a Lance other than the one that Celestial had impaled.

"Night,run this is a fight between gods and I do not want you dead."
