Darkice's Notebooks - Family

My father wasn’t around all that much, I don’t even remember seeing him until he came back one day when I was like 5 years old! He was a grey Pegasus with white wing tips. He had a baddish temper and was sad about my predicament. He expected me like my mother did but he still wished he could change it where as my mother was happy to leave me how I was. My father’s mane and tail where Blue with the odd purple stripe. His cutiemark again described the kind of job he did… He had a silver shield protecting a castle behind it. He was often away off doing some brave and heroic thing.

He worked in the army with the ruler of my time. King Crystal Night. They were often battling the changelings, griffons and stupid equestrians of that time. I believe he was one of the captains all I know is that his job included a lot of killing and battling and I wanted to be like him… I wanted to me the hero my books held. He was fearless and brave and smart and everything I wanted to be… I wanted to change history just like him.

He had an army friend who he brought home often… I mean we all lived in the same village at the very edge of the shield empire… This unicorn was different from others I had seen. He told be the story, the day he lost it… He was a one eyes partially hornless unicorn. I a battle he and my father had been captured and as punishment for something he done received a knife to the eye and a saw to the horn by a horrible griffon. The unicorn was red coated and had a yellow mane and tail. He was fearless as well but was more of an earth pony that a unicorn. His name was Hammer- hood.

When my father did come home he spent most of his time with me… I was the youngest and my Siblings where a good 7-10 years older than me. Apparently only a couple of years before I was conceived my father had joined the army and my other siblings had gotten the attention that I didn’t have from him… I love my father more than my mother probably mostly from the fact I barely saw him growing up and when I did he made my life heaven…

We would go training for hours, play hide and seek among the clouds and just be a father and son. We would collect the ingredients together and Primrose would have some more time with my mother and Moonlight. Once I was in bed, he would come in my room and read me his diary. This diary was filled with everything he did in the army from battling to just stocking the supplies.
