Frozen Heart - The makings of a guardian

Frozen Heart

Chapter 3

I know not of what I've become, its been a long time since the day I gained my gift. Lately I've come to miss my days with Cenia, I know that I can never change things back to how they were and honestly, I don't want to change things. After discovering what I can now do when charged, I can finally take back what's mine.

After IceQuill had touched the crystal heart he was experiencing strange events, the cold no longer effected him, when he would swim the water would slowly begin to freeze around him. He was naturally afraid at first but over time he began to accept what had happened to him.

IceQuill continued to go to school and he would do exceptionally well. One night when school had just ended, young IceQuill sat against a lamp post and began to write in his journal, he then looked up to see a smaller pink filly who was laying in the street, feeling sympathy towards her he walked over to her and tapped her shoulder gently. "Excuse me," IceQuill said, "where are your parents?" "I don't have any" she said quitely, "You look cold, lets go find you a warm place to rest" IceQuill said gently to her. The two then looked around Ponyville for her to rest, They then found a red barn, "This should be good". IceQuill led the young filly into the barn and pulled out a blanket of which he had received from a sympathetic traveler and ave it to the young filly to use. "What's your name by the way?" IceQuill asked, "My name is Cenia," she said quietly,"what's your name?" "My name is IceQuill, nice to meet you Cenia," IceQuill said politely, "get some rest you look tired."

IceQuill and Cenia grew closer to each other, IceQuill treated her as if she was his little sister, he protected her, he kept her healthy, and in return she would keep him from losing all sense of morality.

I've now learned that my old childhood friend, Dez, has finally joined the royal guard. It's a shame really, he could have became an excellent disciple for the guardians, now that I think of it he always was fond of sweet little Cenia.

About a year after IceQuill and Cenia first met, IceQuill convinced her to attend school. Cenia was nervous when she first walked in but she stayed close to IceQuill to remind herself that there is no reason to be afraid. IceQuill introduced her to the teacher and she sat her a couple of seats away from him, he kept an eye on her to make sure she was ok, she was happy to meet new friends. She often talked in class and IceQuill kept on writing in his journal, she always wondered what he wrote in there, but he never let anypony even touch, much less look inside his journal. She wondered what secrets he wrote in there.

Cenia had grown since they first met, her coat was now a light pink like that of cotton candy, and her mane was just a bit darker shade of pink with one dark strip in her mane. Cenia had looked up to IceQuill, she was fascinated by how calmly he took everything. Little did she know that why she slept IceQuill practiced his new found magic. He turned rivers into ice, he froze tree to the very core, he had become quite fond of this new power he possessed, and he continued to grow in strength and wisdom.

Cenia had gone to stay at her friend's house one night, leaving IceQuill alone. He walked around Ponyville, gone on a relaxing flight, he didn't know what else to do. IceQuill decided to go see some of the shops in town, he was hoping to find a gift for Cenia. As he was about  to enter a toy store he heard a scream, IceQuill ran towards the source of the dreadful noise. What he found would change him, for this was when dear young IceQuill's mind began to break. He had found a pony, a unicorn, being torn apart piece by piece by what appeared to be a dog. Blood was along  the wall next to him, organs and what was left of the unicorn were scattered around him. The beast responsible for this turned around to face IceQuill, he wasn't prepared for what he was in front of him. IceQuill watched in horror as the monster stepped closer to him, closer, and soon IceQuill knew all to well what was in front of him.

The monster was IceQuill himself.
