Friends to the End

Prologue: part 1

Long ago in the great capital of Canterlot, a great ruler stood on her balcony overlooking the terrain of Equestria. Her mane shined and glistened in the dawn sky.  She faces the east, smiling to begin the new day.  Her horn glowed with magic and her eyes glowed bright white. From over the mountain terrain, over the horizon the sun rose, spreading light throughout the land. Her eyes dismissed the glow returning them to their now normal state. She smile and stared at the land.

‘’ it still amazes me.’’ The Alicorn said still looking out in the distance, and then she looks upon the city seeing her loyal subjects beginning their daily lives. ‘’ still, I feel empty inside’’ then she looked to the sky where the moon still lingers in the light blue sky, ‘’ I still miss you my sister ‘’ she said in sadness ‘’ but one day, and I know you’ll return to me, and we’ll once again rule together ‘’ she smile, then a tear rolled down her face.

Then a soldier enters her room. He trotted towards the alicorn, and then stood at attention. ‘’ Princess, there is something you have to see ‘’ the soldier said.

She wiped her face and looked at the soldier ‘’ what is it, that you want me to see ‘’ she asked trying not to show any form of sadness in her expression.

‘’ my princess are you alright ‘’ the soldier asked

‘’ I’m fine, what is it that you wanted me to see. ‘’ she asked again irritated.

Then two guards came in, one with a small colt on his back. This shocks the princess; who could have done this to such a young child. She used her magic and lifted the colt off the guards back and place him in her bed.

‘’ we found him in the court yard your majesty ‘’ one guard said.

‘’ we thought he was an intruder, but he’s too injured to be one, ma’am ‘’ another guard said

The princess looked at the young colts face. The colt was a unicorn with grey pelt with a crimson colored mane and tail. He was bruises and cuts on his face and body showing he was mugged and beaten by someone, then left for dead. The princess looked at her guards.

‘’ find the one who did this, and arrest them ‘’ the princess said ‘’ this is one thing that can never be forgotten.

The guards stood at attention ‘’ YES MA’AM ‘’ then they rushed out of the room.

The Princess looked upset, but then her expression turns to sadness as she looked at the young colt. ‘’oh young one ‘’ she said standing next to the bed ‘’ your injuries will heal over time, but what about your conscious ‘’ she said ‘’ surely it is the most damaged. ‘’

The colt started tossing and turning in the bed, becoming restless.  He started to cringe and tear up. Then he opened his eyes. He starred at the ceiling for five seconds. Then he moved his head toward the Princess.

‘’ who are you. ‘’ the young colt asked.

The princess looked at the boy with relief and happiness ‘’ I was about to ask you the same thing, little one’’ she said then she smiled at him.

The colt looked clueless as he stared at the alicorn ‘’ I-I, I don’t know ‘’ he said.

The princess looked at the young colt ‘’ you have memory of who you are? ‘’ she asked.

Then young colt starred at the princess and shook his head no.

The princess looked at him with a hint of sadness. She lowered herself to meet his face at eh same level.

The young colt looked at the princess ‘’ I want to know, who you are ‘’ he said.

The princess looked at the young colt with a smile ‘’ my name is Princess Celestia. ‘’ she said.

Then colt looked at Celestia ‘’ you’re a princess ‘’ the young colt said ‘’ princess, there is something I do remember ‘’ he said

‘’That’s terrific ‘’ Celestia said ‘’ what is it that you remember young one. ‘’

‘’There was something in my head said ‘Light’ ‘’ the colt said. This makes the Princess ponder for a second. ‘’ What does it mean Princess Celestia ‘’ he asked.

‘’ Maybe it’s your name young one ‘’ Celestia said ‘’ and it sounds like a fine name for such a young colt ‘’

The colt looked at Celestia with a smile.

‘’Then its settle, your name is Light ‘’Celestia said, then she stood ‘’ now get some rest and I’ll return soon, I promise ‘’ she said.

‘’ yes Princess Celestia ‘’ Light said then he turned over and drifted into sleep.  Celestia used her magic to close the curtains to darken the room then she left, leaving the young, injured, colt to his sleep. She closed the door behind her. she saw a guard at the end of the hall.

‘’ Guard ‘’ Celestia shouted. Then, as quick as a flash the guard stood in front of Celestia at attention.

‘’ Guard, there will be a nurse coming to this room soon, make sure that no one but me and the nurse is allowed  in here, understand’’ Celestia said. Then the guard saluted her then stood by the door. Celestia then walked off down the hall, thinking about her the young colt ‘’ I have a feeling, that this young boy will change to world. ‘’ she said, as she sat on her thrown.
