Intro
Before it all started, before I ever came to this magical and wonderful place, before I ever met her and her wonderful friends, before I made friends, before I ever had a life, before I devoted myself to her and my family, before I became strong, before I became bold, before I became naive, before I became powerful, before I was ever a some pony, before I ever became a father, before I ever became a king, before I ever became a ruler, before I ever had someone that cared for me, before I ever gained a daughter, before I ever saved lives, before I stood up for those I cared for, before I had emotions, before I wasn’t alone, before I killed many...I was so different.
As I look back to it all, I can’t i’ve had my regrets but they made me into this being that could move mountains, crush just about anything, surpass my limits and go beyond, take the hits for many and still fight, talk to anyone and anything, understand everyone, fight for my beliefs, fight for my loved ones, fight for the right thing that I think is right, fight for my dearest dear, fight for my sons, daughters, friends, and anyone else that was important to me. I fought for all of them, through thick and thin but...I have had my failures...So many of them but through those failures I became strong, I became the protector everyone wanted me to be.
My greatest failure however, was the loss of the most important out of all them. Out of the whole family, she mattered to me the most and I would take the hit for my family but i’d never leave her side while doing so. Even when it seemed impossible I found a way to save her, and the other, even if it got me hurt I still saved them both. Letting take the hit is unacceptable...Though she did twice, and they were just about the hardest things I’ve ever seen. I can’t even write it down now cause it’s too hard but I will tell you my story, the story of the Protector of Equestria!
Part 1
It all started on a rainy day, the clouds were all over my area and pouring down rain and booming its lightening with all its might. All the animals have taken shelter under rocks, logs, bushes, caves and some tree holes. As for me, I walked through it all without a care in the world. The place I stayed in was a forest long abandoned by society but every once in a while a stranger would come by lost but soon find their way out. I normally stay away from them since I have a burning hatred for them but I sometimes get a kick out of it to watch them wonder about in confusion and scare them off by making a bear noise. That was my only way of entertainment really, the only way I could ever get a smile out of myself in order keep myself from going completely insane. I was crazy but not the psychopath insane where I wanted to go out and murder just about anything...Well not at that time to say the least.
Anyway...
Along the way I stopped a few times as I kept on hearing something, it was nothing at first, oh so I thought it was but I just shrugged it all and joked about how I was actually going insane. After the fourth or fifth time I got suspicious and stopped suddenly and spun around wildly with a rusty knife in my hand. The knife belong to my brother who passed away long ago, I was an orphan my whole life and I had little trust with people. I didn’t live the best life but what does a guy walking in the rain in the middle of a storm holding a rusty knife tell you?
To make it short and brief my mom, dad, brother and sister died when I was a young age, My parents died from a car crash when I was 2, I don’t remember any of it but I was still pretty young to be honest, even though it's been many years...I still think they got what they deserve.
As for my brother he died when I was 6, he was sick at the time and we didn’t have much money for medicine but a kind doctor took him in. He told us he was going to make but just before he left, the night before he was able to leave, my brother had a heart attack...
It happened when everyone was asleep and the hospital was closed, no one knew until the very next morning when he wouldn’t get up. A few days before it happened my brother gave his knife and told me to only use if I need to protect myself, it was strange though, it was like he knew this was going to happen. My sister and I were excited to get him that day but when we saw the blanket over him we demanded an explanation. They only said they didn’t know when they came in but I told them off and tried to stab one of the doctors with a scalpel but my sister pulled my out immediately. We swore to never go back there but not too after, perhaps about 2-3 months later, my sister grew very ill and we had no choice but to return.
When we came we were lucky that the doctor who cared for my brother was still kind to us and took my sister in. They ran some test to determine her problem but when we were told of her problem...Well all I can say is I wanted to reach for another scalpel and drive into that man’s throat. My sister held me back however and nodded to the doctor and he left, we sat there for who knows how long but it felt like forever. We knew we couldn’t be taken care of here so we did what we could and thank the hospital and left.
We were out on the streets and made what time we had left not go to waste. I never left her side and as the days went on, she grew weak. It got to the point where she couldn’t stand up anymore and I had to basically carry her around. I was too small however but I did what I could to make it easy on her. During her final days we hid under some guys basement, it was winter time so we didn’t have any means of keeping warm. I would go in out of the basement to steal some food for my sister since she was too weak. When we were discovered they saw how weak my sister looked, they questioned why we were here and I explained everything. I knew we were in a lot of trouble but I didn’t care.
Luckily the family understood our pain and left us in peace, they allowed me to stay after the snows clear up. I was relieve but when my sister passed away, I became distant and aggressive with the family. They did the best they could with me, they even offered me to stay with them but I declined and told them I’m just a waste of space. They buried my sister when she passed away, they placed her in grave where apparently my brother was buried at. I have no idea, even to this day how they found that out but I left it be and once winter was over, I thanked them and was back on the streets.
Years went on by and I was alone for those long and gruesome years, I learned many things, things that you wouldn’t really want to learn but I was in the wrong place of the wrong time. After a few more hard years I came across this house in a forest that I walk today and here I stand with my brother’s rusty knife in hand waiting for whatever it is I keep hearing to pounce out and charge after me but instead of that I got something completely different.
It was yellow with a pink mane and tail with a strange tattoo on its rump, its eyes were a light gentle sky blue but at the moment they were scanning the whole area frantically. When they saw me they froze for a moment and suddenly the strange creature ran over to me and hid behind in fear. I was utterly confused on what was going on but when a wolf came out next I suddenly understood what was going on. This wouldn’t be a first i’ve saved a creature from a wolf but I can tell from the way this one looked it was desperate, skin and bones with a few injuries, obvious to tell it was a lone wolf. Why it was chasing this creature that is cowering before me is beyond me, besides the fact it's hungry.
Without hesitating the wolf charged after me and leaped high up, I heard a scream from behind me that froze me up for a moment as I wondered who else was here but I stayed focused and caught the wolf mid air and pinned it down. I struggled to keep it down as I took out my knife and plunged it into its neck a few times. I still put up a fight after the 5th stab it was finally in peace. My heart was still racing but was settling now and I looked over to see who was here but surprisingly no was to be seen within miles of the forest.
I turned back to the creature and stared at it in confusion, “...Were you the one who screamed when the wolf tried to pounce me?” I questioned.
The creature nodded its head, “T-thank you for saving me...” it whispered quietly, its voice shaky yet feminine but light and gentle.
It’s a girl, “...Are you hurt?” I asked calmly, “Did it manage to bite you or hurt you in general?”
She shook her head but examined herself to be sure, “Um...No.” she confirmed, “I don't’ think i’m hurt, just scared mostly...”
I nodded my head and sighed in relief as I put away my knife, “Well that’s good hear,“ I said myself before facing her, “Can you tell me your name?”
The female creature nodded her head but took a few deep breaths to settle herself, “My name is Fluttershy,” she said in a formally and shy fashion, “I am a pegasis mare from Ponyville.” she stopped there and out of nowhere turned red and looked away, “Um...S-so what’s your name?” she wondered quietly.
I watched her in confusion but with what I’ve seen I wasn’t really bothered, “Well...To be honest I don’t really have a name.” she looked back at me in shock, “I mean, I must’ve had a name but from what I can remember I was always called little bro. I know for a fact we’re not related but um...How does Mister sound, is that good enough for you?”
The way she looked at me, with disbelief and shock, was rather adorable to be honest. So he doesn’t have a name, she thought to herself before she spoke, “Well...I guess I can call you Mister. If that’s ok with you...” her redness and instead of looking away she made some type noise that went by a SQUEE.
The way she looked at me was adorable but that noise, was by far the most adorable that I have ever heard, at the time that is, “Um...Yeah, that’s fine.” I say as I try to hide my giggles, “...So...Do you need any help getting out of here, I don’t mind showing you the way out so you can find your way back to where ever you came from.”
Fluttershy still seemed confused on where she was at, “To be honest, I thought this was the Everfree Forest but after seeing that monster I have no idea where in the world of Celestia i’m at...”
“So you’re lost huh?” I questioned before shrugging my shoulders, “Eh no problem, you can stay with me for the time being. I don’t live very far from here and i’m sure someone will come looking for you. You do have friends right?”
The question seem to somehow offend her but she didn’t show much of it, though looking at it now I can see how that would offend somehow but back to the story, “Well...I guess if you’re ok with it I don’t mind staying with you...” I could remember the hesitant look she had but with how she was back then, it doesn’t surprise me.
I smiled and suddenly picked up her, “Great, hold on tightly!” I say as I dart back to my house, it was still raining when this all happened and the last thing I would want is her getting sick.
I remember wondering why she came here, to a world like this and to a person like me. I had so many questions but part me wanted to give her some space and I did. If I had known Fluttershy was the reason of everything who knows how things would’ve turned out, maybe I would be here right now...
Sorry i’m getting ahead of myself haha.
