Tale of a hunter

This is the tale of a young mercenary, and his rise to fame. From the time of his accident to his happily ever after, he was is now, and ever shall be remembered for his adventures. To accurately portray him though, like all good stories, we must start at the beginning.

____________________________________________________________________________

    The day our merc was born was rather ominous. The skies were blanketed with clouds, blocking out all of the light from the sun. The wind was howling like a wolf and ponies everywhere were staying within the confines of their homes. Other than the sound of the wind, the streets of the town were dead silent. Suddenly the silence was pierced by the shriek of a mare in pain

“Aughhhh! The baby, it's coming!”

She yells while sitting down in too much pain to move, her husband standing right beside her. He is in a state of panic trying to figure out what to do. After a few seconds he takes what he believes to be the best course of action.

“Honey, stay here. I’ll be right back with a doctor. Remember to breathe!”

He calls out as he runs off in the direction of the hospital. The mare continues to breathe heavily as she goes into labor.

“Holy, crap this hurts a lot more than everyone says it should. Ughhhh!”

She grunts out. After a few minutes of agonizing pain she spots her husband down the street, with a few nurses running alongside him. When they get there, they prepare to load the pregnant mare onto a stretcher until the head nurse notices how far into labor she is.

“She’s dilating! Alright everypony, change of plans. We have to deliver the baby here. We probably won’t get back to the hospital in time for her to have her baby. We need to get her into a house and now, or the foal might freeze to death after it’s been born”

The head nurse shouts at the three nurses under her instruction as they run around trying to find a house that will allow a pregnant mare give birth. After only a few minutes of going door to door though, they are welcomed into the home of a light grey Pegasus mare who has a blonde mane and rather curious eyes.

“I’m glad I could help you ma'am. I very well couldn’t leave a mare like you out on the streets in your time of need.”

Says the pegasi to the mare who is about to give birth

“Thank you so much, I don’t know what I would do if you hadn’t decide to help us!”

“Think nothing of it, I love helping other ponies when they need it. I you need anything, just shout.”

The pegasi replies as she leads the nurses carrying the pregnant mare into the guest room. The door shuts behind them and the mares husband is left waiting in the living room wondering about whether he and his wife will have a colt or a filly. They decided to leave that undetermined until they had the foal when they we to the doctor to check up on the condition of their unborn child. While he is thinking about a name for the foal and hoping everything is going alright until he hears the sound of crying coming from the guest bedroom. He rushes over to the door when a nurse walks out and gives him the go ahead to walk in. When he does he sees his wife sitting up in the bed holding two bundles of cloth. She looks up at him and says

“We had twins! I can’t believe how lucky we are! This is the best day ever. What should we name them?”

The new father looks at his new son and daughter and thinks for a minute before he says

“How about Jonny, and Scootaloo

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

                                 Four years later:

Jonny is with his sister, parents and parents friend out on a hike near diamond dog territory, the adults are talking while the two foals are running around, playing. A voice is heard off in the distance shouting

“A rock? My destiny is a rock!”

Then, all of a sudden, a flash of rainbow light is seen in the distance, releasing a rainbow shockwave outwards from where it began. As the shockwave passes by the two foals, the voice from before speaks up again.

“Wow, these are the most exquisite gems I’ve ever seen!”

Just before they go to return to their family. When they get to their family though, a rumbling is heard and Jonny looks up the mountain before shouting:

“Rockslide!”

And shoving his sister out of the way of an oncoming Boulder before it hits him and knocks him over the edge of the path. However when Jonny shoved his sister out of the way, her head hit a rock, and she was knocked unconscious. Unfortunately the parents of the two foals were crushed by the rocks.Thankfully the Pegasus mare who had been with the family was able to get out of the way of the rocks in time, and managed to drag the young filly away from the large boulders that continued to fall. As soon as she was clear of the danger area, she put the filly onto her back and flew towards her home town as fast as she possibly could. When she got there, she checked the filly in to the hospital and relays the story to everypony there. Soon, the town walks out to go recover the bodies of the dead family, but they only find the two parents. Derpy, who is helping them search is very confused.

“Did you find him?”

“No ma’am, we have only found the parents but we are trying our best to….”

“Hey! I found something!”

One of the townsfolk yells, drawing the crowd of ponies around a large rock. A large rock with a large pool of blood around it.

“At least we found him, let's move the rock. Heave!”

A pony shouts as the entire town works together to roll the boulder over. What they find astonishes them though. Under the rock, is a pair of bloodied, tan wings. Then one pony notices a sharp piece of dark black rock, lying in the pool of blood and realization hits.

“Oh, sweet Celestia, he survived the fall! He must’ve cut his wings off with this!” He says as he holds up the shard of diamond, “we have to find him before something even worse happens to him!”

The town searches for signs of the colt all day and night, but find no further signs of the missing foal. Everypony decides to head home, and Derpy heads down to the hospital to see how Scootaloo is doing. On the way though, she realizes the situation she is in now.

“Wait a minute, I’m Scootaloo’s godmother! I’m responsible for her now!  Oh no, I’m coming Scootaloo!”

She shouts as she flies off with a sudden burst of speed towards the hospital. When she gets there and finds Scootaloo’s room, she realizes that she also has to tell the poor filly about her family, and why she wouldn’t see them ever again. With that thought fresh in her mind, she walks into the hospital room, and finds the filly awake. Scootaloo asks:

“Where am I? Where’s mom and dad? Is Jonny okay?”

Derpy sighs as she lowers her head and says to the young filly

“Scootaloo, your parents and brother are... gone. There wasn’t anything that could be done for them. I’m sorry, but you aren’t alone. You’ve still got me, and together, we can get through this. Okay Scootaloo?”

The young filly looks at her new caretaker in awe as she realizes what she meant. Suddenly Scootaloo breaks down into tears and Derpy rushes up to her and embraces her in a nice long hug. Eventually Scootaloo stops crying and falls asleep due to the excitement of the last two days. Just before she falls asleep however, she makes a wish that is heard only by her

“Jonny, if you’re out there, somewhere, I know we’ll meet again one day
