Chapter 3—A Fire and Blaze

Previous Chapter

A good while after that hot and wet night, Celestia's parents found out about Strongbow. All contact with the young colt was forbidden and she was confined to the grounds of the castle and wasn't allowed to meet with fillies her age. They tried to make it work but contact began to break down between them. He sensed something different about her. When he realise what was happening he broke off all contact with her and got off the scene as quick as he could.

   Celestia began to put on a lot of weight. No one questioned it though. Many just accepted it due to the fact she was confined to the castle and didn't get enough exercise. Celestia knew this wasn't the reason. She was going through so much pain it was almost unbearable. But she had to hide it, for her own sake. Time moved on and Celestia found herself walking in the lower quarters. Suddenly the was a 'splash'. She looked around to see where it could of came from. It was directly under her, yet her back was bone dry. Then it hit her like a tonne of bricks. Panic began to set in and her flower began to feel as if it was on fire. She went to touch it, as she had done in the past, she noticed that it had expanded. She knew it was time. The young mare pushed, screaming out in agony. After ten minutes of sheer pain, I came along.

    She never looked at me lovingly once. I was her young alicorn prince and I was just shoved into a corner. She didn't even bother to name me. I gave myself my own name. I called myself Blaze, it was because my mane, tail and forelock was purple that faded into red then faded into orange. My coat was a soft peach colour. I was born Prince of Equestria, but the ponies would never see me as I was hidden away. Unloved, uncared for and with strong magic at a very young.

      During my first few months, very little affection was shown towards me by my mother. If you ask me even to this day, I would say I have no mother or no father. Sometimes it really gets to me, neither my mother nor father love nor wanted me. With all this hatred being shown towards me my alicorn magic was turning dark, but I couldn't control it. That was my biggest problem. the problem that was going to change my life, for better and worse.
