Ray of Dawn

                 I was raised in an orphanage thanks to a dead mom and missing father, probably missing due to the fact his son was a blank flank. Even if he met me, a full grown stallion with no cuie mark, he would never want me. I never saw myself as special. During this time I never played mostly with the other foals of my age, leaving all the ponies alone. The only pony who I ever talked to was a yellow filly, my step sister, of which I knew she was because I had heard her father had left my mother when she was found pregnant with another stallion's child. She died at birth and he commited suicide from grief while trying to kill his daughter, trying to leave me alone. She lived, I was born, and we shifted from foster home to foster home. Mostly, it was my fault because I was unlovable by all, which has been proven by time, except a certain yellow filly with a red and blue mane, my sister, Aqua Blaze. We both wore glasses and I was a gray unicorn with a black and blue mane as dark as the moment the sun was almost ready to rise, hence my name, RayDawn.

             While at our newest foster home we were greeted by our new father, a professor in magic. I picked up a book with arcane symbols and started to read. I was so intrigued that I was sucked from reality. Only to be startled as Aqua Blaze shouted "Hey! Brother! Where are you? HELLO?!"

             "Don't worry! I'm coming!" I reluctantly pulled myself from the symbols and trotted downstairs.

"Doing nerd stuff?" My sister said with a kind, caring, and sincere smile.

             "You know it!" I laughed. These kind hearted moments would only last until I started to receive magic training with our foster father, and she was a pegasus, which meant she couldn't join in. I didn't get magic at first, but light magic was a breeze. We eventually left his care and I continued to study during that month, using spellbooks i found and my sister, being the kind soul she was she eventually got adopted. I thought this was amazing! A new home for us to go to.

               "Sorry Ray, but I was the only one to get adopted...sorry." Aqua Blaze said, which devastated my heart.

              "But we have always been together!" I cried.

               "But we always will be! In here." She touched my chest. "Don't be sad, here take this. Remember me with it." She said as she gave me her scarf, which matched my hair.

                I hugged my sister for the last time in my life that day. I continued my studies and I stayed at that orphanage until I was kicked out. I never was adopted again.
