Load Full StoryNext Chapter

We open up in a house, where a stallion is talking to a mare. The name of the stallion is Charming Swirl, and the mare's name is Dream Swirl. "Charming, I'm scared," Dream said nervously.

"Don't worry Dream," Charming said.

Then, Dream Swirl gave birth to a baby male unicorn. He was crying after birth. "What should we call him?" Dream asked.

"Star Swirl," Charming said. Then the doctor decided to look at him. The doctors ran tests on him, and found something out. It turns out his magic potential is huge.

"Check this out!" the doctor exclaimed.

"So our son has this much magic?" Charming and Dream asked.

"Yep," the doctor said. Then, Charming and Dream walked toward the exit. Before they left, Star Swirl was given to a pony at the counter near the exit. They took a blood sample, and marked him. "Name", the pony at the counter said.

"Star Swirl," Charming said. A birth certificate was given to them, and they left.  "I told you not to worry," Charming said.

"That's not what I'm worried about," Dream said, "I'm worried about how Lord Demon Shadow will do to him." They went outside, and there were some bad things happening. A pony was being whipped by a bunch of guards. Another one had his stuff stolen by other guards. There was a poster that had a picture of one of Charming's friends. The poster read, "Public execution: 3:00. Crime: Speaking against our Lord."

"Damn it," Charming said. An hour later, they went, and Charming, Dream, and Charming's friend said their goodbyes to each other. The execution happened, and Charming said to Dream, "I don't want our son to grow up in this future."
