‘Why does this school never cease to annoy me?’ thought Zeus as he walked through the halls of Canterlot High. He once again noticed some more people making fools of themselves, in his opinion. ‘It's like they have nothing better to do.’ Everyone stayed away from Zeus anyways because that's what kind of image he made for himself in middle school and in elementary school.

He always wore a black hooded cloak that he always had it swept to the side so people could see him wearing regular blue jeans a red shirt with black boots as well, and a mask that had two red marks going 0.down from the forehead to the top of the eyes. The mask itself was metal with flower patterns all over it. Were the mouth was,was a strip of red and his eye holes made it look like the mask was always angry. So no one ever saw his face not that anyone wanted to get to close to him with what he was wearing Or any skin from him for that matter. ‘Well whatever stupid new thing they got going on is hardly worth my attention. It's lunch, not that I eat anything anyways. But it's better than just sitting in a class learning nothing new. ‘

As Zeus walked into the cafeteria he noticed the huge line for lunch today. ‘Hmmmm, must be something special,’ Zeus mused. ‘Oh well.’ Shrugging, he went to his usual table

“Ah, my good old table,” Zeus whispered to no one in particular “Nice and secluded just how I like it.” His voice was slightly muffled because of the mask. Just as he began to lean back and listen to his music he heard someone clearing their throat.

“Yes?” Zeus asked lazily, only opening one eye. Standing in front of him was a purple haired girl with white skin. Her light blue dress seemed very carefully crafted and expensive. She had a very nice blue bow on the front, and her shoulders were adorned with purple. She gazed at Zeus, her azure eyes taking note of his form. “How may I help you?”

“Well I was wondering if I could sit here darling?” the girl asked. ‘Wait a second, I know that voice hear it a lot in my math class.’

“Your name’s Rarity, right?”

“Why yes it is, and if I'm right, your name is Zeus.” She said, in a regal voice, as if she were a princess looking for respect.

“How is it that you know my name?” Zeus asked the girl.

“Well, I hear it whenever the teacher calls you out. So you gonna answer my question? It's rude to keep a lady waiting.”

“First off, you can sit here, just don't expect me to talk to much. Secondly, why are you sitting here, and thirdly we’re freshmen and you're worried about being treated like a lady?”

“Well thank you for letting me sit here.” She said as she sat down in the seat right across from Zeus. “As for the answer to your other questions... Well sitting here should give me a break from the other fashionistas. It's a lot more tiring than it looks.” Zeus just rolled his eyes, unseen by Rarity behind his mask. “And as for your last question, it's always important to keep up appearances. I would expect a man of you caliber to understand such things.”

“Oh and what is that supposed to mean?”

“Oh, just that I've seen you over the years and that you have built of the appearance of someone best to be left to his own devices. That's all. Now I have a question for you.” Rarity leaned forward a little. “Well, two. Why do you wear that black cloak everyday, and why wear that mask as well?”

“What if I don't want to answer your questions?”

“Why darling, then you'd hurt my feelings.” Rarity replied, giving Zeus a big puppy dog look.

“Ugh fine but I'm not explaining everything. Well I guess it all started when I was pretty young actually….”

“WHY DON’T YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING FRESHMAN!” Said a voice that was unmistakably male.

A much softer, meeker voice responded. “I-I'm sorry, it's just, I've had a lot on my mind, and I guess I wasn't paying attention.” Zeus quickly looked up and saw a rather big looking boy leering over a much smaller girl, who was on the ground practically crying. Even discounting the size of the boy, she was quite small and skinny. She had yellow skin and long, pink, flowing hair, reaching all the way down her back. She wore a white sleeveless tank top and a pink skirt. Her turquoise eyes gazed up at the boy anxiously, particularly at what appeared to be the day’s lunch splattered on his shirt.

“WHY DON'T I TEACH YOU A LESSON THEN!?” he bellowed, rage distorting his face. His hands were balled into fists. Zeus quickly ran over to the scene.

“Now sir, why don't we all just calm down, just go sit down, and just go on with the day?”

“And just who the hell are you supposed to be huh, shrimp?”

“My name is Zeus, good sir, now if we can just go on with the day…”

“Who are you supposed to be her boyfriend or something? You obviously don't know how things work around here freshman. Maybe I should teach you a lesson instead,” the brute contemplated, cracking his knuckles ominously. Zeus turned around and saw the girl still on the ground crying, looking up at Zeus with a worried expression on her face. He turned back to face the brute.

“Sir, you have one more chance to walk out of here. But if you threaten me again, I'll show you why I'm not to be messed with.” Zeus told him forcefully.

“Huh big talk coming from a shrimp. Do you know who I am? This is my school, my halls, and what I says go. Got it?”

“Apparently it's not your school anymore seeing as how this freshman is standing up to you.”

“That's it! You asked for it!” The brute said as he reared up to punch Zeus. The punch never landed, at least not where the brute intended it to. Zeus had grabbed the fist before it could hit him and held it back with little effort. The brute’s hand started to bend backward slowly, sending him to the ground with a cry of pain. As he fell, Zeus used his other fist to punch the brute straight in the face, knocking him out cold.

“So uncivilized,” he commented in disgust, turning to talk to the crying girl, only to find another girl kneeling down next to her reassuring her. Zeus knew he recognized her. It was none other than Rainbow Dash. Even if he didn’t know her, he could have easily guessed from her rainbow hair. She wore a magenta shirt with the symbol of a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt coming out of it. She wore regular blue jeans, but had overalls connecting her jeans to her shirt. Her eyes were a magenta color. Zeus knew who it was, because he shared a gym class with her. He often heard her bragging about her speed and agility. Apparently it was good enough to rival some of the older kids in the school, although Zeus was unimpressed.

“Ahem, will you be all right there, my dear?”

“Who are you supposed to be huh, buster?” Said Rainbow, almost getting right in Zeus’s face. Her voice was very raspy for a female’s voice.

“I like to believe I'm the guy who actually did something for this girl, unlike some people.” Zeus said dryly.

“Look, I was late, okay? Otherwise there would've been no need for you to intervene. And how the heck did you manage to knock that guy out with one punch?”

“T-thank you, mister, f-for helping me.” Squeaked the girl on the floor. Her voice is very quiet. So much so, Zeus had to strain his hearing to hear her above everyone else.

“Well it seems that someone appreciates my help. As for your question, Rainbow Dash, I know exactly where to hit someone to stun them for at least a few minutes.” Stated Zeus smugly.

“All right, all right, thanks for helping out my friend, I guess… uh what's your name?” Rainbow Dash asks, slightly annoyed at Zeus’ tone. Zeus was about to face palm, but he learned a while ago that it didn't hurt him because of his mask.

“Well, if you were to actually pay attention in gym class for once, I'm sure you'd catch my name. The name is Zeus. You don't need to tell me your name, Rainbow, I’ve heard about you. But this girl, I'd like to get to know. If you don't mind me asking, what is your name? For the life of me you look familiar, and I feel like I should know your name.”

“M-my name is F-Fluttershy.” She stuttered obviously showing signs of still being upset.

“Hey Flutters, I've gotta go. Coach Spitfire needs me for something. You'll be okay right?”

“Y-yeah I think so since Zeus helped me.”

“Okay.” She turns to Zeus. “I need to talk to you for a moment.” And without waiting for an answer she grabs his arm and takes him a short distance away. “Look I need to ask you a favor.”

“Oh? And what favor should I grant to one who so rudely pulled me away?” Rainbow just glared at him.

“Look wise guy it's not for me. It's for Fluttershy. I can't be there to protect her all the time anymore, what with sports and everything. So I was wondering if for the first time you could actually do something nice.”

“For the first time. Just a second ago you didn't even know my name what makes you think I don't do nice things hmm?”

“Just a hunch. Look so are you gonna help out or not?” Well my mentor is always telling me I need to start helping out people in the school. Where better start than with that cute girl. Wait a second did I just call her cute? No I'm not supposed to think like this I have more discipline than this.

“Sure I'll do it.”

“Awesome because you have, like the rest of the day with her.”

“Wait how in the hell do you know that?”

“Oh she's showed me her schedule and I've seen you walk towards the same direction. Well? Am I right, or am I right?”

“Uh, yes I think so.”

“Awesome. Look, I gotta go. Just take care of her okay?”

“Okay, should be easy.” Rainbow ran out of the cafeteria, going to what Zeus believed was the gym. Zeus slowly starts walking back towards Fluttershy, who is looking around confused, still on the floor.

“Here let me get you up. No need to be sitting on the floor.” Zeus held out a gloved hand. Fluttershy watched it with uncertainty.

“Don't worry, I won't bite. I'm here to help,” he reassured her, picking up the smaller girl with ease.

"Now have you eaten yet?" Fluttershy shook her head silently. "Hmmm.... well lunch is almost over, but I think the staff will let us stay. They're pretty chill with me. They know my dad too. He and Vice-Principal Luna seem to get along really well. Well, I think I need to get you some food."

“Oh no, you don't have to do that, I'll be okay.” Zeus turns around completely unconvinced.

"Look, my dear, as far as I know, I'm the only person here that can go the whole school day, without eating. So I'm going to get you lunch. And I'm going to keep you company till you finish. Then I'm walking you to class so I can tell them what happened. Sound good?"

“Can you really do all that?” she asked softly.

“Why of course. It is how my father raised me after all.” Zeus said with a comical bow, at which Fluttershy giggled. “Now why don't you go and sit over at that table over there with Rarity, hmm? I'm sure she wouldn't mind meeting you.”

“Oh… Um, thank you,” Fluttershy replied, looking down at the ground. Hmmm her name does certainly suit her well. I'm most surprised.

“Well I'll see you in a few.” So Zeus went to wait in the lunch line while Fluttershy went to go sit with Rarity. Seeing Fluttershy approach, she greeted her warmly.

“Why hello there, darling. My name is Rarity. What's yours?” Rarity held her hand out for a handshake, which Fluttershy hesitantly took.

“My name is F-Fluttershy,” she replied softly, hiding behind her hair. “Nice to meet you Rarity.”

“Well darling, how much do you know the gentleman Zeus, hmmm? He seemed quite fond of you for him to go through so much for you.”

“Oh no, I'm sure he was just being friendly, you know, helping out.”

“I don't know darling. From what I've seen he doesn't seem like the one to just help someone out of the blue.”

“Oh Rarity, I think you'll find that I help out a lot more people than you might think,” Zeus responded from out of nowhere, having returned to the table.

Rarity nearly fell out of her seat in surprise. “Darling, you mustn't just pop in out of the blue and scare someone like that,” she complained

“Hmmm... I'd like to think that I didn’t pop in. I just came back to give Fluttershy her lunch. Here you go, my dear, now eat up. You'll need your strength.”

“Why? Is something gonna happen?” Fluttershy inquired worriedly, beginning to panic.

“What? No, no, you just went through a lot. My dad always said a good meal will help you get through some of even the hardest trials. Especially the mental or emotional ones.”

“Oh…. Okay, thank you then,” Fluttershy responded, and proceeded to stare into her food, blushing slightly.

“Hey now, no need to be embarrassed it was an honest worry. I could've worded my sentence a little bit better.” Hearing the sound of a door opening, Zeus turns around to see Luna enter the lunchroom. Seems like someone told her what happened. Oh well, might as well go and talk to her then.

As Luna crouched down next to the brute, assessing the damage caused, Zeus made his way over to her. “Hello Ms. Luna. How is your day?”

She quickly looked around to see who was talking to her. Upon seeing Zeus, she gave him a small frown. “Please don't tell me this was your doing again Zeus.”

“I’m afraid it was, Ms. Luna.” said Zeus, calmly

Luna sighed and lowers her voice to a whisper. “Look, I know your father talked to us about your ‘mind’ friends, but did they really lead you to knock this kid out?”

“Oh no, this time I had a much less selfish reason for knocking him out. That reason would be that he was bullying an innocent girl, sitting over at my table. And I couldn't let her just sit there like that. I had to stop it and step in. And to be fair, I did try to talk it out, but he didn't listen.”

“Zeus, now I must call your father about what happened here.”

“Oh don't try to fool me Ms. Luna. I know you'll enjoy talking to my dad.” Zeus teased.

“Now you behave yourself Mr. Kenobi. I'd advise you to head to class seeing as how the lunch bell already rang.”

“Oh crap, has it?” Zeus quickly looked to his not-so-empty table to see Fluttershy still sitting there looking like she's awaiting his return. ‘Hmm… At least she can listen.’ “Well you see, Ms. Luna, I kinda need to stay for a bit longer.”

“Oh, and what reason is that, Zeus?”

“Well, it's because that girl over there wasn't able to get her lunch because that guy was bullying her, so I got her lunch and told her I'd wait with her until she finished, then I'd take her to class and explain to the teacher why she and I were late.”

“Oh, your silver tongue never ceases to amaze me Mr. Kenobi. Okay fine, I'll allow it but don't take too long.”

“Yes ma'am. I'll make sure we return to class promptly.”

“Good. Now move along while I attend to this young student here.” Zeus promptly nodded and walked back to the table where he was sitting with Fluttershy.

“Oh I hope your not in trouble because of me.” Said the shy girl, meekly.

Zeus just looked at her for a second before answering. “Oh you needn’t worry about that. The principals know me and my father very well. It’s actually the reason why I'm allowed to dress like this everyday. Cause, you know, I do look very shady in this. Almost like I'm gonna hurt someone for no reason.”

“Oh no, you wouldn't actually do that would you? Hurt someone I mean. Because that wouldn't be very nice.”

Zeus just chuckled and shook his head. “Now if I were to do that I'd have done it by now. No, the reason why I wear this is because I don't want people seeing my face.”

“Why is that?” Fluttershy replied politely.

“I just feel self conscious about it. Don’t want to walk around showing it to everyone. But enough about me you better finish eating. Luna said we could stay, but not for long.”

“Oh okay then.” As Zeus waited for Fluttershy to finish, a voice began speaking in his head. ’So why exactly did you help her out?’the voice inquired, speaking gruffly.

Zeus, familiar with the voice, and its presence, responded simply in his thoughts. ’Possibly, because I didn't want to see her crying on the ground in the middle of the cafeteria. You know, protecting the weak is what we should do.’

‘He does make a fair point, Red,’spoke another voice, ancient and serene.

’Ugh, I can see that Blue, but why exactly? I mean I understand his whole sense of honour thing but still it's a bit ridiculous. And stop calling me Red! We have proper names now.’Said the voice called Red, irritated.

‘I'll stop calling you Red when you stop questioning everything that the young master does. And you know as well as I that he probably does that kind of stuff just so that he can make up for his past.’

‘Don't you even touch that, Blue,’ Zeus bitterly responded. ‘You know how much I hate that. You don't have any business mentioning that evil past.’

‘Well I was just offering it as the reason why.’

‘Oh look, you've upset him now happy Blue?’

‘Look here you…’

“Don't you two start arguing. I get really bad headaches when you two do that, and it stays for the rest of the day,” Zeus told the voices, not realizing he had spoken aloud.

“You okay Zeus?” Fluttershy cautiously asked the boy, concerned.

“Oh, er, yes,” Zeus replied awkwardly. “Just, talking to myself.” He looked away from Fluttershy, glad for the mask hiding his blush.

‘Well that was smooth, Casanova,’ Red joked. ‘If that's how you woo all the ladies, they’re gonna be in trouble alright.’

‘Don't want to hear it, Red,’ Zeus replied. ‘And not a word from you either, Blue.’

‘What? I wasn't going to say anything. Not for the moment.’

“So you done Fluttershy?” Fluttershy simply nodded her head. “Okay, let's go and head to class huh?” Fluttershy nodded again and got up following Zeus out of the cafeteria. When they reached the classroom Fluttershy just looked at the door nervously. Upon seeing this, Zeus said, “Relax nothing to worry about if there's any punishment I'll take the blame, okay?”

“Oh I can't let you do that. You've done so much for me already.”

“Nope, not another word. I got this, okay?”

“Oh… um... Okay then.” Fluttershy said as she hung her head.

“Hey now, it'll be alright. Let's just go inside and finish this day.” Fluttershy nodded. Zeus knocked on the door promptly, and when it opened, he walked in with his head held, high going straight to the teachers desk.

“Ah I was wondering where you two were. Care to explain?”

“Why yes, Mr. Doodle you see what happened…” And Zeus told him all that had happened in the cafeteria and how he had gotten Luna's permission to stay behind for Fluttershy to stay.

“Hmm… Well if that's the case, then go and take your seats.”

“Actually, there's a favor I'd like to ask of you, if I can. You see I'm kinda gonna be protecting Fluttershy from now on and it'd be easier if she was sitting next to me. I believe Vice Principal Luna would gladly come in and ask of you to do so.”

“Hmm... I guess I'll allow it for now.” Mr. Doodle cuts Zeus off before he can respond. “But if either of your grades drop I'll separate you two. Understand?”

“Oh you don't have to worry about that Mr. Doodle. I'll be able to help Fluttershy with her work this way.”

Mr. Doodle nodded. “Okay Fluttershy follow Zeus and sit next to him please.”

“Okay...” Whispered Fluttershy.

"Hey now, it'll be the easiest way for me to help you. I understand you being worried about a total stranger helping you from a bully, and he keeps wanting to help." Zeus chuckled. "Honestly, I'd be skeptical if I was in your shoes, but relax, okay? I won't hurt. I promise."

“I wasn't really worried about you hurting me.”

"You think I'm gonna believe that? I've noticed your nervous ticks, you playing with your hair, your stuttering, all points to you being afraid of someone, or something hurting you. I understand that you think I'm intimidating, but I promised I'd help you, didn't I?"

“Okay...” She said, a little louder and seems less tense than before.

‘So how are you gonna explain this one to your master hmmm?’Says Red

‘Well maybe if you wait until this school day ends you'll see now won't you? Now hush. I've got English to concentrate on.’

Later that day:

“Hm that's surprising.” Said Zeus more to himself than anyone else even though he is right beside Fluttershy while she is getting her stuff from her locker.

“What's surprising Zeus?”

“Huh?” Zeus turned around not realizing that he spoke out loud until Fluttershy asked him that question. “Oh just that no one came to mess with you the rest of today. I guess I give off more of an intimidating aura than I thought.”

“Yeah you are quite intimidating.” Then when she realized what she said she quickly said “Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that.”

Zeus just chuckles crossing his arms and leaned back against the lockers. “Don't worry about that. I'm used to that kind of, um, reaction from people. But I will say it was quite… pleasant protecting you today actually. Despite me not needing to do anything.” Zeus says with a laugh at the end.

Fluttershy just giggles at the last remark. “So shall we go and meet Rainbow out in the front of the school?” Said Fluttershy

“Oh that's surprising I think this is the first time I've seen you actually propose something for others to do with you. Sure let's go and head to the front.”

“Well I mean we did only just meet today.” Said Fluttershy as she walks with Zeus to the front of the school.

“Oh so you're saying you've actually done that before?” Said Zeus teasingly.

“W-well I mean the only other person I've talked to is Rainbow so not really.” She said rather meekly at the end.

“Hey now it was just a joke, but I do understand what you mean about Rainbow she barely takes a second to just stop and listen to what others say.”

“Yeah that she does.” Said Fluttershy with another giggle. Then realizing what she said quickly said “Oh don't tell her I said that please. I don't want to hurt her feelings.”

Zeus just chuckles again and said “Relax there now no need to get all worked up over that. Besides with ego as big as hers it'll take some harsh words to get to her. She's a tough girl.”

“Wish I could be tough.” Said Fluttershy looking down at the ground.

“Hey now you may not be as tough as her, but you are tough enough. I mean you see who your talking to? Takes a lot of guts to come talk to me.”

“Oh but you aren't that bad honestly when someone gets to know you.”

“Hm that's what my father says all the time. Ah hello Rainbow.” Zeus said spotting her out in the courtyard.

“Ah there you two are. What kept you?”

“We were just-”

“Look never mind you're here now so how was your guys day huh?”

Zeus looks down to Fluttershy who looks back up to him. With a small smile. “I'm sure I can speak for both of us when I say that it was good day. No one messed with her on any hand.”

“Huh really?” They both just nod. “Awesome so I was wondering Fluttershy I'm gonna be practicing after school and I was wondering if you wanna come and watch me?”

“Oh yes cause that's exactly what she needs after what she went through. To sit down on hard bleachers and watch her friend practicing.” Zeus said sarcastically

“Oh yeah tough guy what do you think she needs then huh?”

“Probably the chance to do what she really enjoys so she can just think about the day and not have to worry about anyone bothering her.”

“Oh, no one will bother me actually. I'll be fine.”

“Look Fluttershy I know from personal experience that when you get through the day after being bullied you need time to just sit and think about what to about the situation. In your case think about how it'll go tomorrow and such. Just take a moment to collect your thoughts.”

“Huh you're the first guy I think I've met who thinks about what he says and not just blurt things out.” Says Rainbow in surprise.

“Well I like to think I was raised well enough to know how to think. On any hand it's all up to you Fluttershy what you'd like to do.”

“I think I'll just go home and think.” She said rather quietly.

“No problem Fluttershy I was just wondering if you wanted to watch if you wanna clear your head go on I say.” Rainbow said cheerfully.

“See I told you takes allot to break her spirit.” Zeus murmured to Fluttershy. Who just giggled in response. “Well as charming as your girls have been, I really must get going back to my home, I got allot of work to do.”

“Oh okay then.” Fluttershy said looking very disappointed.

“Hey now what's up?” Zeus said comfortingly.

“Oh don't mind me it was a stupid request anyways.” Fluttershy mumbled to the ground.

“Now, now none of that what is it that you'd like.I Haven't left yet and I have some time before I really have to be home.”

“Oh I was just wondering if you could maybe possibly walk me home.” She said with a rather noticeable blush on her cheeks.

“Any particular reason why? Or do you just want to hang out with me?”

“Well sometimes when I go home these guys from school will bully me or push me down. But whenever Rainbow walks home with me they don't bother us.”

“It's true I can't walk her home every day unfortunately even less now. So could you help out there?” Said Rainbow

“Hm sure I don't see why not. Let's go Fluttershy show me to your home.” Zeus said with a bow and nod of his head.

Fluttershy just giggles at this and said “All right let's go.” And walked off in the direction to her home.

“Huh those two have something going on.” Rainbow said looking skeptically towards Zeus and Fluttershy leaving. “Well he better not hurt her that's what I'm concerned about.”

“I heard that Rainbow!” Zeus called back. “I'll be good!”

As the two walk to Fluttershy’s house they talked a bit about nothing in particular it just flits around from topic to topic.

“Hmm Fluttershy where by chance do you live?”

“Oh I live close to the more remote part of town, not the bad part. It's a good neighborhood actually.”

“I only ask cause this is looking awfully familiar to where I live or at least close to where I live.”

“Oh really.” She said brightly. “Well my house is actually right over there.” She points to a simple two story house. Painted white on the outside also having a very nice garden around the house.

“Looks nice.”

“Thank you the garden is my mom’s. My dad is probably still at work though so you won't meet him.” She looked away slightly sad.

‘Hmm... Odd as to why that'd make her sad.’

‘Maybe she really wanted you to meet her parents?’Blue offered confidently.

‘Or maybe she wanted her parents to see you and thank you or send you away and such,’ Red commented

‘Must you always see a bad side to everything?’ Zeus asked.

‘Well I'm sorry if I'm just pointing out possibilities.’

‘Well thank you for contribution, but if Fluttershy didn't want me around her she wouldn't have asked me to walk her home, thank you very much. Now be quiet.’

‘Fine be that way,’Red sulked.

‘Now now, Red. We are several thousand year old spirits. Don't be acting like a child.’

‘Who are you calling a child Blue? Coming from the one who likes to see everything in a good way... I'm just being a realist.’

‘Well at least I give people a chance before just assuming the worst,’ Blue retorted.

‘Will you stop bickering like you’re five? For crying out loud, you're thousands of times that age. Act like it.’ The two voices grumbled, but complied and went quiet for the moment.

“You okay Zeus? You kinda zoned out there.” Fluttershy questioned worriedly.

“Huh? Oh, I'm fine, just thinking really hard actually. So can you make it to your house from here?”

“Yep. Thank you for your help today I know it must've been a bother.”

“No, it wasn't at all. Actually it was nice for a change, rather than just go through the halls by myself. See ya tomorrow?”

“Yep. Are you gonna be walk with me back to school?” she asked, sounding slightly hopeful.

Zeus shakes his head slightly believing it to just be his crazy imagination. “Sure, I'll walk with you though don't expect me to talk much. I'll probably be tired. My dad likes to really push me in my training. In fact, my house is just one street over, so I'll actually be able to walk you home everyday, what with how close we live.”

“Oh, if you live that close then you live close to Rainbow as well,” Fluttershy noted brightly.

“Well. I should let you get home. Bye Fluttershy. See you tomorrow morning,” Zeus told her with a grin before remembering that she wouldn't be able to see it.

“Okay, bye Zeus. See you.” As she turned away Zeus noticed she had a slight spring in her step.

“Huh, you must be a good influence for her,” commented a voice from behind Zeus. He jumped in surprise, and reached for his hip in preparation for a fight. When he turned around however, he saw a rather good looking man. He looked to only be in his thirties, but with the wisdom of one twice his age. From his chin sprawled a full beard, slightly white. He wore a very ordinary outfit with blue jeans and a plain t shirt. He looked like what most women would consider handsome in their opinion. In fact he shared a very similar appearance to his ancestor Obi-Wan Kenobi. Who had a child that he never knew about.

“Oh it's just you father- uh, master,” Zeus spoke with respect, leaning for a bow.

“No need for that my boy. Especially not in public. Now come, let us go home. We have training to do.”

“Yes master,” Zeus replied, groaning slightly.

“Now now, don't be like that. You know how important it is that you complete your training. That way you can control the evil inside you.”

“Who, Red-Eyes? He's been behaving actually. Been annoying if anything. But Blue-Eyes has been keeping him in check.” Reaching the end of the block, they turned to cross the road.

“Be that as it may, I'd feel better if you could control it yourself. I don't need that dragon taking control and making a repeat of the past.”

“I've changed. Back then I couldn't control him as well. Now I'm sure I can.”

“Well regardless you still need training before you will be a knight.”

“Yes master. Oh I've been meaning to ask is it fine that I walk Fluttershy home everyday? She's the girl you saw me with and if I can protect her from bullies as well.” They slowed to a stop in front of a similar looking house to Fluttershy’s it being two stories and white on the outside. It looked like a normal house nothing remarkable. Nothing to hint at what happens inside of it nor of the people who live inside of it.

“Yes, I was wondering when that would come up, but we can talk about that in just a moment: we’re home. Let me go in and fix you a quick snack over which we can talk about this and about what happened at school today.”

“Oh, I'm guessing that Luna told you about that? Did she by any chance happen to talk about anything else than just?” Zeus said teasingly

“Yes to your first question as for the second, let's save that discussion for later.” Then both of them walk inside to what appeared to be an ordinary living room. You'd never guess that anything special was underneath it.

“Now come my boy, sit at the table. I made some food.” Zeus walks to the dining room to see sandwiches. As he sat down at the table, he could see the peanut butter and jelly slathered in between.

“Well, this must've taken you forever to make,” Zeus joked, carefully removing his mask to eat.

His father chuckled. “Yes, took me forever to by hand. So I had a little extra help. Now about this business with Fluttershy; you may protect her if only because that is what our order does. Protect the weak and you may walk her home, but you must be careful with how you deal with these bullies. We can't afford to become exposed to the Sith, for if we are, it will mean our doom.”

“So in other words don't demonstrate inhuman powers?” Zeus asked, his mouth full of bread and jelly.
