The Origin Story of Adean

The winds on a hot summer day where easy on me when I was outside in the sun playing on the Canterlot park playground. Some fillies and colts still stared at me but it didn't seem to bother me anymore because I was with my sister Scardy, my friend Snowball and Twilight Sparkle and her baby dragon Spike. I felt more used to being around other ponies even ponies my age. A young yellow filly offered to play catch with me with a green ball she was holding with two hoofs. I wasn't really the sporty type like other ponies but I decided to join in.

Though the winter we decorated the school with Hearts Warming lights, trees, and wriths. I spent most of my winter time studying art and reading books and learned to get inspired by authors to write my own novels. I enjoyed spending time with my new family on the holidays and getting gifts as well a watch my sister and close friends open up theirs.

When the holidays where over I felt depressed and alone because my sister and friends went back to their studies. The problem with me is that I had bipolar depression which happened to me oftain in the winter after the holidays as well as other boring days of the year.

I always seemed to fight this depression but without Dorothy, the pony that took me in a nursed me back to health, she was like a mother to me, and I always looked up to her more then anypony ever did.

"Hey Adean, what's the matter?" Twilight asked putting a comferting hoof on my shoulder.

"It's my adopted mother Dorothy, we where always so close, we did stuff together. It hard not having her around anymore," I sobbed.

"You know, I feel the same way with my brother Shining Armor, we where so close. He was B.B.F.F and now he's off learning to become a Royal gaurd so I hardly ever see him" Twilight replied.

"At least you have Spike and Princess Celestia," I commented.

"Yes, but besides them Shining Armor was the pony I was the most close to."

"Well, you have me and Scardy too," I added.

"Thanks Adean, your a good friend and I hope someday I could learn great magic like my idol Princess Celestia and see my brother again."

The years passed by and Twilight, Scardy and I were now grown up. Twilight and Spike were now in Ponyville and living in my old home which was the Golden Oak Library, Scardy was now living in a pony apartment building and I was now living in a house outside of Ponyville with my Griffin friend Snowball.

Snowball felt better living with me instead of living in Griffinstone with the other Griffins. She said she felt my comferble living with me instead of her own kind. I felt like I was special living with her because she saw me somewhat like a real close cousin then just a friend. Even though I had no family I felt like Snowball was the closest I had to a family member.

Sometimes Snowball felt miserable because she felt like she was needed back in her hometown of Griffinstone and didn't want to leave my side. I would sometimes hear her cry in her bedroom. I had trouble knowing how she felt because I had Asperger's syndrome which ment I had trouble how others where feeling and what was going on with their emotions. I knew she was upset though because I would hear her crying so I felt like sometimes I would go in there to cheer her up but with my disability it would be better for her to be alone and get through  it.

At least she came from somewhere and had relatives, I didn't even know my real parents where or where I came from but I mostly looked like a dragon with fur with body parts of different animals. The only creature I knew I was realated to was Discord who was trapped in stone, but I didn't know if I was a descendant of Discord or a daughter, I was not sure because I never talked to him because he was inprisoned in stone.

I was starting to get worried. What if I was a descendant of Discord? What if he was acctully my father and my mother was even a Draconequus? I didn't want to be like Discord even if he was my father. I felt more comferble around ponies and Griffins then I was of others my own kind. It was stressful to think about so I went into my room and decided to paint on a canvas to get my mind off of it.

While I was painting, I painted something similar to what Dorothy used to paint when she was still alive. I added seashells, flowers, and other beautiful stuff hidden in my abstract painting. I couldn't beleave it I did a masterpiece! I felt so happy I want to paint some more. When I stopped to take a break and lie down I saw that a cutie mark appeared on my flank.

"How is this even possible? Only ponies get cutie marks," I observed.

"That's because you have great talent, just because your not a pony dose not mean you can't have a cutie mark," Snowball explained.

"But I usually don't see non ponies with cutie marks."

"Well there are some with cutie marks such as zebras and hippogriffs," Snowball commented.

"Oh this is great! Someday I want to sell my art and publish my stories," I said excitedly.

"You can do it but you still have a long way to go to meet your goal, even if you do you still have to learn," Snowball lectured.

"And I remember what Princess Celestia said that no matter how old you are you never stop learning," I added.

That night when I was fast asleep I had a dream of someone who actually knew me but I didn't know her. She looked more like me and looked like a dragon with fur except for her two hind feet and her tail. She had an eagle claw and a snowleopard paw like mine and beautiful silver hair. She started talking softly to me in a calming tone.

"There you are my dear daughter I was hoping to meet up with you Adean," the beautiful Draconequus exclaimed.

"Who are you?" I asked her.

"I'm Eris, your mother, and I was hoping to see my daughter soon," she whispered softly.

"But why weren't you there when I was born?" I asked eagerly.

"Your father and I where part of the dragon kingdom till you dad Discord went mad and started creating chaos in the dragon kingdom," Eris began.

"Discord is my dad?! But he's evil! He tried to rule Equestria with his so called chaos!" I yelled.

"But Discord and I loved you even though you where just an egg. The dragon lord exiled us to the Everfree Forest and forgot to take you with us."

"But why didn't you come back for me?!" I questioned.

"When Discord and I got exiled to the Everfree Forest. Discord went far ahead of me and I got killed and slaughtered by a Timberwolf. After that Discord attacked his closest pony friends Luna and Celestia with his chaos," Eris explained.

"By why the princesses? What did they do to him?" I asked curiously.

"Discord loved Celestia, more then she loved me, and Celestia hated him, because he was trouble and a abomination, so he put unhappiness on all ponies," Eris sobbed.

"Wow, I never heard a story like that before," I said sadly.

"Celestia was more like a older sister to Discord then a lover, but he didn't see that."

"Well, if both you and Discord don't belong anywhere, will I still belong?" I questioned.

"You belong with the other dragons at the dragon's lair and with the ponies and your Griffin friend," Eris replied.

"Where do I go then to feel like I belong?" I hesitated.

"First go to the dragon's lair. I bet the dragon's there will except you."

And with that Eris left me alone in my bedroom dreaming of my closest friends.

By morning I knew I had to take the journey to the dragon's lair.
