The Story of The Destined Colt
(Set Before Flurry Heart's birth and after the events of the season before the one we are on now.)
"There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, The Creator, made known through Jesus." - (Blaise Pascal.)
What does it mean to be brave, and to stand up in what you believe in? This is the tale of one who managed to learn what this was about, and how a lion of bravery and strength rests in the heart of every living being on this planet.
It was a time of peace. Today was the day that celebrated Tirek's downfall, as the residents of pony ville celebrate in happiness and joy. Decorations had been put up and made by Rarity and Pinkie Pie, as to show a form of beauty and fun. Twilight Sparkle and her friends had been celebrating with all signs of joy.
"I've never seen Pony Ville as busy as it is now! This is wonderful!" Twilight tells her friends. They all smiled at her in agreement, as they take a sip of Apple Jack's apple cider to celebrate.
"Ah'm glad ah could bring this for y'all to drink." Applejack smiled and replied to her friends.
"Cheers!" The group put up their cups and took another drink.
As happy as everyone was in Pony Ville, there were sad people across the mountains. In a lone town known as Winter Stead, a young boy had just escaped the Orphanage that had kept him locked away from the good world that was soon to be met by him. He had ran away because he never loved the village he grew up in. It was always cold, it never heated up or shown light. It was dark and gloomy, and had always been run by corrupt business lords. He had traveled through the mountain passage to reach the warm lands of the borders of Canterlot and Pony Ville.
"Phew... Finally made it out of the frostlands." He sighed, rubbing his sweaty head with a handkerchief, and continued down the path. He wore a hood to keep his identity a secret, and carried a book with him to record his life and adventures from when he left. He never knew his true parents, or knew if he had a brother or sister. He had no memory of them whatsoever, but he never gave up on finding them. He continued down the path between the border, and found a large crowd of people looking at carriages being lead by Knights of the royal guard. These were the carriages of The royals Shining Armor, Cadence, Celestia and Luna! He had to get a good view without being spotted, because who knows if any of the crowd ponies were from the frostlands looking for him to be brought back to the orphanage. He hid behind the nearest bush, but pulled over some to see more, cleaning his glasses a bit, then looking more. The royals were in there, but he couldn't see them, as they went down to pony ville. He followed them though the woods. What he didn't know was two buff ponies were tracking him down.
"There he is... Get a message out to say that we found our target." One told the other.
"Got it." The second one wrote a quick letter and sent it to the village master via magic.
The boy walked through the woods and entered a part of Pony Ville, as he was following the carriages to there. from there he entered the village and hid behind the postal services, as Celestia, Luna and Cadence were about to make a speech to the large crowd.
"Today, we celebrate the heroism of those who stood up against Tirek and helped save our world once again." Celestia began to speak. The main six and the heroes who stood up against Tirek stood by the princesses.
As the young boy kept listening to the speech being delivered by the princesses, he walked forward in the hood, but what he didn't know is that the two brutes came in and grabbed him, about to drag him away.
"H-hey! Put me down!" He stuttered, as half the crowd then focused on them. They wouldn't cooperate, but he tried fighting back, but they ended up almost knocking him out hard, but a part of the crowd comes in to stand in his defense.
"Move it!" The two said, shoving them out of the way and began focusing him. But he fought back. He fought back with all the strength and will he could muster, and used it to put them down. The two stood up, shaking.
"You will be brought back to help with the return of Tirek, ancient blood born..." They both muttered, but the crowd began rioting against them, and fought them out of Pony Ville for good. Then the guards turned their attention to the boy, not arresting him for distraction and fighting, but putting him up on the stage where the princesses were delivering his speech. The 4 princesses looked at him, and began to have a conversation about him in private. After a few minutes, they turned their attention back to him.
"You, my young friend... You may have caused a great deal of distraction for us... You may have fought almost violently against those two brutes... But you had the courage to stand up against them and fought them with your strength." Celestia tells him.
"Y-yes but-" He tried speaking, but Celestia put the top of her hoof on his mouth.
"You have the courage to protect yourself and others, even when things seem tough... You are a will and prophecy sent by the creators." She kept going. Luna, Cadence and twilight put a little medal/brand of will on his coat. He was then lifted up by the three, and the crowd cheered. They gave a thunderous applause to the Boy that nobody knew.
"So... What is your name, O will of the creators?" The princesses asked.
"...My name.... My name is..." He stuttered, but then regain the courage to speak. "My name is Mokuba." He finally said. And the crowd cheered. Cheered as the young boy said his name, as he smiled when they did. Luna had come up to talk to him in private, with a vague look on her face.
"Do you have a family? If so, where are they?" She asked him.
Mokuba sighed and looked at the ground. "I don't.... I am an orphan runaway. You wouldn't know how it feels." He told her, walking away. He had then bumped into Shining Armor by accident, as he and Cadence both looked at him.
"O-oh, im sorry..." He tried telling them. The prince-consort then smiled.
"Its alright, Mokuba. I heard you do not have a family..." He began to speak to him in a light voice, "Would you like to be adopted?" The young colt looked at him, but smiled. He smiled as he was asked if he wanted a home.
"...Yes." He finally answered. As he had answered, the small space around him started to glow, and as this happens, he is gained his cutie mark, which was a Hexagram of the different colors of the elements of harmony. Mokuba smiled as he had seen it, and spent the rest of the day celebrating with his new family.
And so, the young colt went on to do tremendous things for the world. From helping in wars to finding ancient artifacts, he had become known as "The Brave One."
