After the war with the cult, Luna and Celestia disappeared. This left the world in chaos. That is why the main six took up being the leaders of the land. Soon they all left and made factions. The white faction was Rarity's, they believed in the arts. The yellow faction was Fluttershy's, they believed in kindness. The pink faction was Pinkie's, they believed in having fun and partying. The blue faction was Rainbow Dash's , they believed in loyalty. The orange faction was Applejack's, they believed in agriculture and honesty. The purple section was Twilights, they believed in knowledge.
The factions weren't bad but they were not in harmony. The groups often fought for more land. This lead to the once bright and happy land, to become a battle field. One person knew this was not the way to go, his name was Spike and he had a mission. After he stood up to them he was banished. this was the start of a new era.
I stood there in front of my sister Twilight. I was telling her why this was not the way to go. Sadly my words fell on deaf ears. She told me to leave and never return. I was picked up by the guards and they dragged me out of the place I once called home.
Now I was walking in the everfree forest. What happened to the Twilight I used to know. When Celestia disappeared she was fine but after the factions she changed. I still remember what she said, "don't you ever come back, disgusting lizard."
'Yeah, well buck you to!" I was half expecting a answer but none came. I looked up to see I was deep in the forest. " I must have been walking while I was thinking." It was weird how you could walk and not even notice. That is when the situation finally crashed down on me. I sat there and I cried because I lost my only family.
"hello there youngling." It was a man, his beard was white, he had long hair and a blue coat. the weirdest thing I noticed, was the sword at the side of his belt.
um, hello there, who are you?" I asked stuttering a bit.
"well, my name is Blueshine. what is your name?"
"My name is spike." I was wondering what this man wanted.
"what is troubling you spike?" he asked calmly.
"nothing, I don't have a problem."
"Then why were you crying in the middle of the forest?"
"I wasn't crying, those were tears of manliness."
"Sure they were" he snickered. "Well I guess you don't have a place to stay, so do you want to spend the night at my cabin?" I know I should have said no but I felt like I could trust this man. I nodded my head. "Well, then follow me." he lead me to a small cabin. the place was made out of wood and inside there was a fire burning. It probably wasn't the best choice. I also noticed the back had a training area. I snapped out of my thoughts when he said, "Well make your self at home." The inside was similar to the outside but there was one difference and that was the many swords that decorated the wall. "You like my collection?"
"whoa, how did you get all these swords?" I was amazed.
"it took me a long time to get them."
"Really how long?"
"my whole life."
"that is a really long time, why did you do it?"
"that is a story for another time, but for now we should go to bed."
I looked outside to see the sun was setting. "yeah I guess it is time to go to sleep." he only nodded and started to walk up the stairs. I followed him to a small room. Inside there was a small mattress on the floor.
"I'm sorry that I don't have something more comfy."
"it's okay." that night as I was drifting off to sleep my thoughts lead to twilight and how she banished me. that night I cried myself to sleep.
The next day I woke up, too the sound of chops. I quickly ran down the stairs to make sure everything was ok. what I saw when I got there was blueshine swinging a sword. It was amazing, how fast the stallion moved for his age. He was a blur, his sword moved in all directions and the dummy was demolished in seconds. "How did you do that?"
"I was a knight back in the day."
"could you train me?"
"Not if you don't have a good reason."
so I told him my reason. "to reunite the factions and safe equestrian." once I was finished, he smiled and nodded.
"You will start the next day"
That day went by fast and I was excited.
I woke up the next morning, too Blueshine screaming in my ear. "Holy bucking crap!" He laughed at my miss fortune.
" Come on now, we have a long day ahead of us."
" Why did you scream in my ear?!?"
" Because it is a very efficient way to wake up somepony or somedragon."
" I hate you."
" Most people do."
He lead me out to a large field. "this is were your going to be training." I looked around, hoping for there to be some cool swords. Sadly there wasn't any.
" Where are the swords?"
" There are no swords, you have to get muscles first." I gulped knowing the things I'm going to do. Suddenly I had a flashback, of the time Rainbow Dash tried to train me. I shook in fear.
"Are you ok?"
I only kept shaking. If it wasn't obvious, I deplored exercise.
"Hey snap out of ."
" yeah let us train" I said with no enthusiasm.
" So first run around this field one hundred times."
" what, that is impossible." he only walked away. I knew that this day was going to be interminable. I started running around the field. After the first lap I wanted to quit. My lungs felt like they were on fire and I was going to collapse. As a dragon I could survive all heat, but this day I felt like I was going to melt. I kept running around and it was awful. By the end of the second lap I was crawling.
" keep going, you can do it" he said, as he was drinking tea, under a umbrella.
"easy for you to say, your under a umbrella and drinking tea" I said, while panting heavily. he only smiled and laughed. It turned out I was right when I said the day was going to be interminable. After the third lap I collapsed. My lung burnt like I was breathing lava. My whole body screamed in agony.
"ready for the thousand push ups?"
"You can't be serious." He smiled wickedly.
'I'm dead serious." I knew that I was going to die here and that this pony was insane. After five push ups I fell.
"You really suck at this."
" Shut up"
" Well look at the time, it is time for lunch." I thanked the gods for this break, from this pony's hellish training.
" But we could wait a hour or two." The gods just slapped me back in place. So I continued to fail. By the time I was finished, it was night time. I laid there and fell asleep instantly. That night I had dreams of twilight and my banishment and the hellish training.
