Abzan the Changeling

Episode Two

12 years have passed since the meeting and Abzan Racka’ had grown since then. He’s been training with his adoptive father and continues to improve. Abzan has had a thing for fighting ever since he saw his father compete in Equestria’s martial arts tournament and won. Ever since then he has pushed himself to be like his father.

“Come on son you need to focus.”Zane said.

“I….I know...dad….I am trying.” Abzan said as a green aura started to form around his body as he charged at his father. Abzan tried as hard as he could but his father was faster then him and would dodge his moves with ease or block his attacks.

“You’re trying too hard to see where I am son you need to relax and focus, not with your eyes but with your senses.”Zane said to his adoptive son with a smile. “Otherwise you're going to have a ruff time at your first day of school tomorrow.”

“I know dad it’s just hard.” Abzan said.

“Don’t worry you’ll get the hang of it.” Zane said as he patted him on the back. “You just need some time and patience.” Abzan was still unsure but didn’t complain about it.

“Boy’s it’s time for dinner.” Lilly called out to them.

As soon as they heard that they both went inside and had celery soup with bread and water. Abzan loved his mother’s cooking and always got his chores done when his parents asked. But he always got the feeling that he was different from the other Zebras and other ponies that were in the tribe. But that didn’t stop him from making friends. He had a about three friends.

They weren’t afraid of him unlike everypony else but they weren’t that well liked either. Even though his family was middle class they still saw him as some low class insect. He didn’t care much about it. All he cared about was his family and friends and nothing more.

His parents told him to go brush his teeth, pack his books for school tomorrow and get ready for bed. So he did just that, still thought that even if he did have a good day at school tomorrow he was bound to make enemies and he had to be brave and stand up to them. He laid in his bed thinking how tomorrow might turn out only to push the thoughts away and fall into a deep slumber.

The next morning Abzan got ready and was on his way to school. He was both excited and nerves. Abzan had been home schooled most of his life and he was a genius but he was always a fighter then a genius. But that wasn’t going to stop him from trying to make friends.

“ Bye mom, bye dad.” Abzan said as he went out the door.

“Bye honey we’ll pick you up after school. Abzan’s mother said.

“Good luck son.” His father said.

And with that said and done, he was off. Abzan was running as fast as his legs could carry him so he wouldn’t be late on the first day. He kept running until he bumped into a young filly zebra no older than he was with a ponytail and azure eyes .

“Hey watch where you’re going.”

“Sorry but I really need…."Abzan was struggling to find the right words but was interrupted.

“I don’t care what you have to say bug. Don’t you know that you shouldn’t be talking to an elite Zebra like me unless you are spoken too.

‘Gez what’s up with this girl. She’s probably another spoiled rotten brat that my dad talks about. Better play it safe.’ Abzan thought.

“Forgive me I was distracted.”

“Pff Whatever. Next time I won’t hesitate to report you to the authorities.” She said.

“Don’t you think that’s a little harsh for a simple accident.”

“Are questioning me you piece of low class scum.”

‘What the hell is wrong with her, well one things for sure she’s not like the others.’ Abzan thought. He had never met any filly like her in his life. “You know what? I don’t have time for this I need to go.” Abzan walked past only angering her more.

“HEY I’M TALKING TO YOU!!!” She said with rage. Abzan only ignored her and continued walking ready to take on his first day of school.

Abzan had finally arrived at the Zebras and Ponies  Middle School. He was nerves but not too nerves for his two best friends were waiting for him at the entrance. A slender Zebra with chestnut eyes and short mane with a blue bag standing next to a red filly with a black mane and golden eyes.

“Hey Zack, hey Zoey.” Abzan said with grin.

“Hey Abzan.” Zoey said with a huge grin.

“What’s up’s.” Zack said.

“Oh nothing much just ran into a complete psycho filly snob and got insulted. Other than that just fantastic.” Abzan said sarcastically.

“Please tell that it wasn’t Ishani Cortez.”

“Um...Who?” Abzan said.

Just before Zoey was about to answer the bell rang and the students had to go to class.

“Look I’ll tell you who she is later but we should head to class and I also checked we all have the same together.” Zoey said as she hugged both Zack and Abzan.

“You're really into this stuff aren’t you?” Abzan said.

“Yep.”

“Hey Zack are you okay?” Abzan asked.

“Uh yeah, yeah I’m fine hehehe.” Zack said with a blush.

“Are you sure?” Zoey said with concern.

“Yeah I’m okay we better get going we don’t want to be late to class hehehehehehe.”

After that they went to class and began their lessons. But Abzan was curious on why Zack started acting weird and he was determined to find out.
