Rising Knight knows nothing of his birth family. He grew up with his step-parents and sister after being found in the woods when he was five. When he was thirteen, his parents were murdered while his sister was forced to flee for her life, and he was taken by a group dedicated to brining back Discord and overthrowing the Royal sisters, all because of his unique abilities. After being experimented on and being forced to fight other test subjects, as well as other creatures that were captured purely to be used as opponents, to the death for six years, he has gained new abilities. This is his story.

Note: In this mlp universe, the cutie mark crusaders and their classmates are only 3 years younger than the mane 6. Also, Sparknanator has become my co-author, so now it has a bit of his randomness and comedy stylings.
