Once upon a time next to forest in a distant time. There were three clans. Upon the land were earth ponies living in their own peaceful world. Then up on a mountain lived the unicorns acting as If they ruled over everyone. Finally there were the Pegasi whom lived in the sky.
"Pa what's this story 'bout?" Asked a small filly.
"Well Aj if you wanna know then you have'ta listen. Now then were was I oh yes!"
This story leads us to a single earth pony filly of the age of 15. There was nothing special about her but she was considered the most beautiful filly in all the land. Many suitors or stallions or even colts of the same age would come to her. It doesn't matter what clan they were from but she turned them down.
Weeks after weeks they went after her but she still turned them down. One day a small group of colts and fillies in her clan came and told her of a treasure that would make their clan rich. Unfortunately she fell for this rumor and went into the forest to find it. Unaware she was followed by fourteen suitors whom have made a deal with each other. Whom ever child she gave birth to will get to take her as his own. This fourteen suitors were unicorns and pegasi which followed her quietly. The filly not shortly after her followers entered she become lost. As she kept wondering she ended up bumping into all fourteen of them. She became scared for reason she believed would happen and she fled. She didn't stop running until came to a tower like cliff so she climbed the fifteen story tower like cliff until she reached the top to find a small garden in the shape of a circle. In the middle of said circles was a stone floor with some cushions in the middle which took the form of a bed. It was too late for she was caught and held down on those cushions by three of the stallions as one of the were about to have his way. Until they heard a single howl. Then it stopped only to find the tower like cliff was surrounded by wolves. One by one the wolves started howling until they all were but they stopped as fast as the started. There was a scream as everyone turned to a Pegasus that fell to the ground with the look of fear and pain. Another scream from the group but this time a unicorn. One by one they went down until only two were left. A unicorn and a Pegasus were all that were left standing and awake. Until the Pegasus was gone only to find him sitting in fear and unconscious. The unicorn looked around until he was met with an earth pony stallion with a coat for a dark gray like the color of smoke, a mane and tail of a diamond white color and with eyes that shined like the setting sun. The unicorn was the smacked once and sent flying to the end only to stop with his head hanging off it. The filly loomed to her savior to find he was attractive. He was lean yet muscular but his eyes showed curiosity towards her. Until he spoke with a deep, calm and caring tone. This mysterious stallion ask for her name as she asked for his. To each others surprise they started to get to know each other. Once sunset came the stallion picked her up and jumped off the cliff until they landed with a soft thud. To her surprise he then zoomed through the forest with ease until they made it out only to find the entire clan outside the forest about to enter. Silence was all there was until they started cheering pulling the stallion into their home and clan. Several years later the filly who was now considered a mare married her stallion hero and they lived happily ever after.
The sound of a light snoring hit the stallions ears. Given his daughter a kiss good night he left the room only to bump into an elderly mare.
"Dag nabbit Valencia I told ya to quit with dem stories of yers!" The elderly mare whispered.
"Sorry Granny Smith but I can't help but fuel her imagination." Said Valencia with a smile. "Now good night I have your daughter and a third child on the way to go take care of." With thoughs words he left to his room.
~morning 6:00 am~
The Apple family was awaken early by Granny Smith for one reason its zap apple season. With the family at a single filly namely Applejack was wondering about sweet apple acres. Until a noise came from behind her. Curiosity is a fickle thing one that could lead you in two directions. For Applejack it lead her to a only anich or to taller than her but a year older. It struck her as odd because the colt looked like the hero of her pa's story.
"Applejack where are ya?" Yelled a feminine voice.
Turning toward the voice then then back to the colt to find nothing. He vanished as if it was her imagination. Applejack ran to her mother and father.
"I saw a colt standin' back there but he upped an vanished!" Applejack said.
"Oh maybe he's your fairy tale hero." Joked Valencia. Whom got and elbow to his ribs and a hand to his head.
Applejack looked back to where she saw the colt to see him watching them wake away. She watched him as he vanished into the orchard. Hoping to see the colt again. As fate would have it only time will tell.
~ a year after the return of Luna~
"It's hypothetically impossible for an earth pony stallion to appear then vanish into thin air. I mean if he was a unicorn then it would mean he is highly adept at teleportation magic. You sure you saw an earth pony stallion catch you three?" Asked a lavender mare.
"Sweetie darling I have to admit Twilight is right an earth pony stallion couldn't just vanish like that." Spoke a pearl white mare.
"You kiddin Rainbow dash saw it too even how he caught the tree and through it like a heavy ball!" Exclaimed an orange filly.
"What in tar'nation do ya mean by that?" Asked Applejack.
Everyone in the room looked to a cyan mare with a rainbow main and tail. Only to see her confusion in this. Which the cyan mare took a deep breath and replied.
"I'm not sure what the hay I saw. I saw Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo climbing a tree to get a kite when the tree started falling and then a shadowy figure caught the girls and stopped the tree. Apparently that tree was supposed to have been taken down yesterday but wouldn't budge so a unicorn used some sorta spell to make it far in a safe direction. The spell wasn't supposed to take action until the dude got back." Replied Rainbow dash.
"He was still pretty cool but his cutie mark was weird." Scootaloo added.
"You saw his cutie mark?!" Exclaimed the mares.

Yes this is how this story will begin. Patients is a virtue.

Here as requested chapter two which I think I did pretty good on.
Let me know if you like.
Greetings and What?
"Before you tell us what his cutie mark looked like tell us what happened girls." Twilight said.
"Okay so it happened like this." The cmc stated.
~ a couple hours earlier~
The school bell went off and all of the colts and fillies went ran off to have the rest of the day to themselves as the cmc came walking out last.
"So girls what shall we do first?" Asked scootaloo.
"I don't know." Commented Applebloom.
"Lets fly a kite." Stated Sweetie Belle.
"Sure its better than nothin." Said Applebloom.
"I guess we could make that cool." Scootaloo said casually.
The three fillies ran off to get a kite from the club house and brought it to the park. Once they were ready they spotted Rainbow dash as she came swooping down. Once she landed she looked to an eager Scootaloo.
"What cha girls doin today?" Asked Rainbow dash.
"Just flying a kite. Any chance you could help us get it up high enough?" Asked Sweetie Belle.
Dash nodded and flew up with the kite till it was flying on its own. The three fillies waved to her as she flew off to do whatever. As the fillies took turn flying it the string slipped from Scootaloo's hands and flew off into a tree after a short chase to catch the run away kite. Looking to each other with a nod they proceeded to try to retrieve the kite without noticing the deep incisions in the other side of the tree.
~just down the road~
Just down the road stood a hooded, cloacked stallion. His sunset colored eyes surveying his surroundings until he his ears caught the sound of snapping wood when he spotted the three fillies in a tree and the a loud crack. The stallion took a slow breath as the world around him slowed down. He crouched quickly and then blazed down the road as the world around him seemed to move in slow motion. Rainbow dash managed to notice the stallion before he vanished as a large and speeding dust trail zoomed along the road. The stallion managed to become visible only moments later as his cloak flew off of him just as he caught the fillies.
Said stallion however looked to said falling try and he trew his hand up and stopped it as the bark instantly and slightly caved inwards. The cmc looked up to see a shirtless lean and muscular earth pony stallion hold the tree they were in with one arm. Then looked to his cutie mark which stood out a shadowed reflection of a wolf's head as the rest of it curved into a sword. They then look to the stallion as he threw the tree behind him a foot away. The stallion looked to then with his sunset eyes and smiled as hes set them down onto there whooves. As he took a step forward he again vanished from sight just as Rainbow dash landed behind them.
~current time at the library~
"After seeing if we were okay Rainbow dash brought us here and thats what happened." The cmc finished.
Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie and Rainbow dash sat quietly digesting the information as they then looked to Rarity who looked puzzled about something. Everyone was silent until a startling revelation came for Rarity.
"Thats it! No wonder he sounded completely samiliar." Stated Rarity.
"You know who he is?" Asked a puzzled Scootaloo.
"Of course I do darling he would never let family down" Rarity stated matter-of-factly.
Everyone sat puzzled and staring at Rarity cunfused and uncertain. Until the library door opened and a stranger walked in and spooked most of them.
"Hey where's my baby sister!?" Exclaimed the strange as he walked towards the group.
Rarity got up and flung herself onto the stallion as he spun her around. Everyone watched as Rarity acted like a filly that just got her cutie mark. Until the stallions words finally clicked.
"BROTHER!!!" Everyone screamed.
"Oh yes girls meet my older brother Wolf shade. Shade meet my friends and our baby sister Sweetie belle." Rarity said introducing him to everyone.
Sweetie belle walked up to Rarity and hid behind her as Shade got onto his knees and gave her a gentle smile. Slowly he reached for Sweetie belle and gave her a loving heart felt hug as sweetie nuzzled into her newly discovered big brother.
"Hey Sweetie I'm Your big brother Wolf shade its nice to finally meet you." He said as tears of joy ran down his cheeks as Sweetie belle sat in sat in his arms.
Everyone watched as Sweetie belle started crying at the sound of have a big brother she never knew she had. Bringing tears to everyone else they all sat in tearful surprise. After an hour of joy and tears Shade carried a sleeping sweetie belle over to the group as he joined them taking his seat next to Rarity.
"So everyone I will take questions be do keep your tone down." Asked Shade
They all nodded as the first one to ask a question was Rainbow dash.
"So Rares when did you plan to tell us you had an awesome hunk of a brother?" Asked Dash.
Shade chuckled softly at her question and answered for his sister.
"Because I told her not to tell anyone. Before you ask why its because of my cutie mark and I won't tell you why that is. Now then any other questions besides asking if I want a party in which case is sure." Shade said looked to Pinkie her dashed out of the room quietly.
"Tell us about yourself if you don't mind?" Asked Fluttershy shyly.
With that question he started talking about himself as Applejack, Rainbow dash, Fluttershy and Twilight were eyeing him to which Rarity glared at them only for Shade to start laughing as Sweetie started giggling seeing as she was awake to hear everything about her brother.
"So Sweetie wanna show me to my home or am I not allowed to live with my little sisters?" Stated Shade as Sweetie belle squealed.
Getting up Shade carried Sweetie out of the library with Rarity clinging to his arm as Sweetie and Rarity pointed the way to their home. Everyone else looked to each as they finished digesting what they were told.
"Well that was….. unexpected." Twilight spoke breaking the silence.
"I agree him being a mercenary isn't a good thing but did you see Sweetie belle though." Commented Fluttershy.
"Ah know what cha mean shy but still Sweetie belle cried herself ta sleep in tears of joy Ah think." Aj noted.
"I don't know about you girls but he is smokin hot." Dash noted bluntly.
"Raindow! As true as that is and as intelligent and in depth as he went…he is still Rarity's brother." Admonished Twilight.
A deep crimson blush which was shared by everyone but scootaloo and Applebloom who were asleep in their sisters arms. Nodding to each other Aj, Dash and shy left along with scoots and bloom heading home with their sisters to rest for the night.
At the Carousel Boutique Rarity walked into Sweeties room only to find sweetie tucked in as Shade slowly walked out with Rarity. They both went to the kitchen for one last drink before bed.
"I have alot to do to makeup for all the years I've been gone." Shade noted as Rarity nodded in agreement.
"Um Shade I have a request for old times sake." Rarity stated hesitantly.
"Sure I kinda miss having to wake up because of your nightmares just so you could cuddle with your big brother to sleep happily. Infact I still have those pictures of us befor I left." Shade commented.
They both walked up to Rarity's room as she laid on her bed snuggling up to her long and very missed older brother as she happily cried herself to sleep in her arms.
"May the night guide your dreams baby sis." Wished Shade as he to fell into the embrace of sleep.

Well here is the next chapter. I am still looking for an editor and an artist be other than that I should have the next chapter out next week. No promises
A new day for a meeting with the sun (Edited)
~Rarity's P.O.V~
A sweet and deliciously delightful scent flowed upon the air waking me, a certain marshmallow white mare, from her beauty sleep. Sitting up, the said mare opened her eyes, glancing around, finding that she was alone. Moments later, she heard giggling and laughing from down stairs. Getting up, she decided to get ready for the day with a warm shower.
'Oh my, what is that enchanting scent?’ The thought ran in her mind as she undressed. Upon being fully unclothed, she twisted the knob of her shower to fit her liking in terms of temperatures, only to get walked in on.
"Hey, lil sis’, breakfast is ready," Shade stated as he walked in on Rarity whom, in fact, nearly had a heart attack.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WALKING IN ON…?” Rarity began shouting, soon being interrupted by her eldest brother.
"I happen to be walking in on my little sister whom I remember running around completely nude as a child. I dressed you up and gave you baths." He leaned on the left edge of the door-frame, watching her attempt to cover herself up.
"Oh, and don't forget to get the spot behind your ears." Shade walked out of Rarity’s bathroom, and back down the stairs.
Rarity gave a simple flustered sigh, only to get in the shower and relax as the hot water caressed her skin, flowing down her slim and curved body. The water flattened her mane so that it stuck to her back. The water glided downwards, flowing through her 42C sized breast, while the water smoothed out her tail and washed over her perfectly plump flank.
~In the kitchen~
Shade walked into the kitchen, finding a unicorn filly that started to panic. Quickly, he walked over to her and started calming her.
"Relax, remember what I taught you; Roll then flip the omelet onto the other side," he spoke calmly to Sweetie Belle, allowing her to do what she was told. Outside of the household, Twilight Sparkle knocked on the door. Hearing the knock, Shade opened the door.
"Hello?"
"Rarity’s in the shower," Shade replied, walking back to his original spot in the kitchen.
Twilight walked into the kitchen. She noticed a mouthwatering aroma in the air.
"What are you cooking, Shade?" Twilight sniffed the air, the pleasant aroma entering her nose.
"I’m not cooking anything. Sweetie Belle is cooking a homemade recipe of mine. She has some Cinnamon rolls in the oven. I only taught her how to cook properly."
"Oh, well - I guess you get some good news today, Shade. Princess Celestia will be coming to Ponyville today. She’s announcing the opening of a new filly-park and renovations for the Ponyville orphanage!" Twilight plopped herself down on a nearby chair.
"Cool, so - when do I meet Celestia? I need to give her this letter from my ambassador friend in Prance." Shade tilted his head to the left.
"Um, at 12 I guess?"
Rarity walked into the kitchen, fully dressed and sparkling clean. Upon her presence being noticed, she walked over to directly look at her older brother.
"Before you ask; Yes, Rarity, those are my homemade cinnamon rolls. Let’s eat the omelets Sweetie belle made. Before you say anything - I helped her cook." Shade sat on the opposite end of the table of Twilight. Rarity sat at the table next to Sweetie Belle. The three were about to enjoy their meal, but was soon interrupted when a familiar tall purple dragon walked in.
"Morning Rari…” Spike started. “Oh, wow, that smells good," complimented Spike. “What is that smell?”
"Why, it’s Wolf Shade’s recipe. Sweetie Belle cooked the omelets. Shade assisted her, of course. Oh, how could I forget? You two haven’t met, have you? Spike, this is my eldest brother - Wolf Shade. Shade, this handsome drake is Spike. If you’re wondering, he’s only sixteen in dragon years.”
"Hello, uh, Shade. I'm Spike, Twilight's number one assistant." Spike offered a grin.
"Let's not forget the fact that you’re dating my sister." Shade let an amused smirk form on his face.
"H-How did you know that?" Spike’s eyes widened for a brief moment.
Shade, on the other hand, broke down laughing hysterically which confused everyone immensely. Shade was quickly joined by Sweetie after seeing the expressions on everyone's face. The laughing lasted about an hour or two until both of the hysteric laughers ended up gasping for air like crazy which last for three minutes. Sitting up Shade finally decided to answer the drake’s question.
"I don’t. You just confirmed it for me, Spike. Also, I know your age already; I know an infant drake can stay in its egg for at least two or three years. From what I can see, you're actually only what - a year if not two younger than Twilight, correct?"
Spike's jaw practically dropped down to the floor as he turned his head to look at Rarity. Spike found that Rarity was completely stunned at the new information. Twilight Sparkle she was absolutely giddy about what she just heard.
“I’ll take that as a yes.” Shade smirked once again.
Shade looked to the clock to see he still had, at maximum, one hour and thirty minutes until Princess Celestia’s arrival. Shade stood up, pushing the dining chair into the table. As he was about to leave, Sweetie Belle decided to jump onto his back. Shade chuckled at her actions.
"So, where to first, Sweets?" Shade carried the filly out the front door. The light bulbs lit up, and Shade got an amazing idea. "Wait, don't answer that. I know where to head first. Hold on tight."
Sweetie belle did what she was told to as her 'ride' suddenly dashed off. Sweetie Belle started to squeal in delight as they darted through town, stopping at her school. Sweetie didn't care though, she was too busy giggling. She finally noticed that Shade carried her inside her classroom. Everyone stared at her, considering that it's a school day.
"Um excuse me but my I ask why you interrupted my class?" The teacher asked.
"Yep you're making this subject boring. Math can be fun if you know how to make it but that’s off topic. I am here to get the addresses of two brats named Diamond tiara and Silver spoon. Oh and I am here for Applebloom and Scootaloo so they can join Sweetie belle and myself until my meeting with princess Celestia at twelve today. Don't worry Miss Cheerilee Sweets here told me about you."
"Um okay but you're not a parent or guardian of Sweetie belle are you?" Asked Miss Cheerilee.
"I'm Wolf shade and I am both Sweetie's and Rarity's older brother so yes I am considered her guardian until she is with our parents. Oh and by the way I read your diary Sweets." Which earned him a smack on the head and a scowl from her.
"Okay um but you need permission to take Applebloom and Scootaloo as well." Miss Cheerilee replied.
"Oh I did. I just need to make sure their homework is done before they can have their little sleep over which I believe I get the pleasure to take care of this time so I get more time to get to know my youngest sister." Shade stated earning a hug for his baby sister.
"Oh um okay but why the addresses as well?"
"I need to have a chat with them about something." Shade replied dryly.
Giving a nod Cheerilee gave him the addresses and the fillies with homework as well and they were off to the first and closest address which was Silver spoons.
Upon arrival they were greeting by a really big stallion dressed as if he was a hitman. Shade put Sweetie belle and just kept walking until the big stallion stepped in front him the group.
"Oi what’s yer business with my boss." Stated the stranger stated. The way he spoke though get the girls to start giggling which I saw as cute.
"What's so funny eh?" He asked.
"You sound funny!" Scootaloo stated.
Her statement pissed him off as he stepped towards her and swung at her. Scootaloo closed her eyes and waiting for the strike but it never came. She opened her eyes only to see Shade holding his hand in place. But what scared her was his expression.
Shade was PISSED!!!
"You did not just swing at a child in front of me!"
"You better move or I'll move you mys-"
The most likely bodyguard of the place was stopped mid-sentence by a pebble to the head by Sweetie belle's. Shade notice the dude looking to his sister which just made him snap.
The stallion went to charge Sweetie only to find a fist to his face as he was sent flying through the front gate of the property.
"Aiming for my family is a death sentence." Shade stated as the stallion got up.
"Hahahaha I Steel fist eats shrimps like you for breakfast."
Now before Steel fist could even get ready Shade was already in front of him and windmill kicked him in the face sending him flying. Shade launched himself passed the stallion only to stop the flying stallion a backflip kick into the stallion making Steel fist hit the ground. Upon impact with the ground Steel found himself in a small crater before falling unconscious.
"That was AWESOME!!!!!" Scootaloo shouting making Shade flinch.
"Um let’s not tell this to anyone okay girls this is our little secret." Shade said and with great relief they nodded exciting only for an unlikely voice to sound from behind him.
"Then I won't speak of this matter either."
Quickly turning he was greeted with the most unlikely of ponies. Princess of the sun herself, Celestia! But that didn't matter because one thing was on his mind. 'Is she an angel?'
The three fillies and Celestia herself started giggling which snapped him back into reality. Which is when the whole scene snapped into his head. Shade fell onto his back with only one word coming out of his mouth.
"Shit" was all he could say at this point.
"Hello to you to Mr. Shade." Celestia greeted.
"Just Shade princess."
“Then you can call me Celestia. I must say that was both impressive and scary, what I just witnessed that is anyways I was told you had a letter for me?”
“Yeah nope that was a lie although the ambassador of Prance gives his regards. I only said that to get a chance to meet you secluded and only although three fillies are with me I guess that doesn’t matter.”
“Oh? So you just lied about being involved in political matters only to meet me privately?”
Shade only nodded in response which earned him a smile and a giggle from Celestia. Shade smiled to that only to continue the conversation.
“So I’m not in a lot of trouble right?”
“Yes you are but seeing as to what you are capable of I think an arrangement can be made.” Celestia replied.
“Oh um what is this arrangement of yours?” Shade asked.
“Oh it’s quite simple you just become my personal guard and you’ll no longer be in trouble. Besides it will give Rarity and Sweetie belle a reason to come up to the castle more often which will also give my student a reason to come visit as well.” Celestia stated.
“Wait so I get a job offer and all I have to do to not be in trouble is accepting it?” Shade asked.
Celestia nodded only to get a strange look from shade.
“I will accept your offer only on two conditions ONE, I get to wear what makes me feel comfortable and Two, I get some things custom made to my own design for self-defense or combat use only. Oh and for how I look.” Shade stated
“Hm I will accept the second one but how about a compromise on the first?” She asked.
“Deal! We can talk more about it later.” Shade replied.
“Good now um why are you here with three fillies?” She asked
“Crap! I almost forgot. I came here to talk to the parents of a filly named Silver spoon for bullying my baby sister Sweetie belle and her friends then I was going to speak with a Filthy Rich about the same thing.” Shade explained
“Then I shall accompany you.” Celestia stated as the fillies started chasing after her. Shade stood up and started staring at her perfectly toned flank only to snap out of it and hurried after the mare and fillies.
~At town hall after the public announcements~
“How is it that you suddenly have a job as Princess Celestia’s personal guard?” Rarity asked.
“Sorry sis but that’s a secret between me and Celestia.” Shade replied.
“Prince Celestia and I” Twilight corrected.
“Exactly!” Shade exclaimed.
“Come alone Shade you start your job tomorrow so we have much to discuss on our way to the castle.” Celestia stated.
“Yeah I’m coming. Well don’t forget to come and visit kay sis. Oh and bring Sweetie too. Sorry I can’t stay for your little sleep over or whatever it is Sweetie.” Shade said.
“It’s okay but no getting in trouble with your new job.” Sweetie demanded.
With a nod Shade gave his sisters a hug then caught up to Celestia as she got onto her carriage. Joining her the two began talking as they left for the Castle.
