The Fall of Cloud

    My story is not like other ponies, I didn't grow up on a farm or a magic school or a flying school. I didn't have parents, I didn't have a lot of things, when I was born it wasn't in a hospital no doctor no nurses. All I had was a tube it was a big glass tube that held some kind of thick blue goop. When I first awoke I wasn't ever sure I'd be let out of the tube, every day for weeks I would watch ponies walk in and out of the big white room surrounding my tube. But one morning I awoke to seven ponies surrounding my tube speaking "do you think this ones a dud?" Asked one of the ponies "they'd never fund this program if it doesn't work" he continued. I felt something burst though my body my brain not fully understanding what it was supposed to be doing. My hooves slammed on the glass creating a crack in the tube causing a rupture making the goo pour out, my body kept pounding on the glass till I felt my body slamming down on shards of glass. "Looks like it's not a dud huh" one pony said snickering "well he still has to be put through the tests, most make it that far." I could feel my legs grow tired as I was required to sprint on some sort of treadmill for six hours every day since I broke out of the tube. I was technically born eighteen days ago and I still hadn't seen what I looked like, I didn't know if I could speak, hell the one thing I did know is that I was an experiment created in this laboratory and I was being forced to run. I wasn't sure how I was a full grown stallion born but a few days ago but I tried to ignore it. Somehow I had full thoughts, I was able to comprehend things I knew some things that not even the scientists knew. One day I was being monitored by a mare, her name was NightShade she was a beautiful purple pegasus with a black and blue mane, she was a little bit of a klutz but not bad looking either. She was the  one who had to make sure I knew specific magical elements even though I was clearly a Pegasus, I couldn't speak so I had to write everything down using my teeth and a pencil. I hated it, for the life I was living they spoke as if I was the god they needed to stop some kind of war but I didn't care. Most of it is background noise that I hear, the only ponies I listen to are NightShade, and my health trainer BlueMint he was a grey unicorn with a blue and white mane. I finally tried to speak when I was reading and going over my spells in the room with the tube aka my bedroom. "C-ce" damn it I could barely even say the goddess's name. I suddenly thought of how I didn't have a name I was just subject eleven for five weeks of my life. I decided to give myself a name, I wasn't as dull as some of these scientists expected me to be. I always looked up through my skylight in the center of my room wishing I could touch the clouds with my wings. So I named myself "Cloud Piercer" it ran so smoothly across my tongue I didn't even realize I said anything. I knew I could speak now I stayed up all night practicing saying as many words as I could remember even the vulgar words. It shouldn't have been so easy for me to say "fuck" but I did it the first try, I couldn't wait to wake up the next morning and go speak to NightShade for once, I didn't want anyone else to know I could speak so I had to hold in my ability to speak from BlueMint don't get me wrong he's a nice stallion just not somepony I'd want to converse with on a personal level. I showed up to my session with NightShade as she sat down in the chair across from me and noticed that I didn't have my pad and pencil for once. "Where are your things?" She asked in the most polite way I've ever heard anypony speak to another the whole time I've been here. "I- I don't think I'll be needing it anymore" I said, it wasn't the best English but it was still pretty good for never speaking. "You, uh I I'm not supposed to teach you how to speak  till we finish writing" she said

nervously pacing through her notes "well I've been practicing speaking since last night." I say adding to her disbelief "umm, I" she starts "hang on a second" I cut her off hopefully not being to harsh "I think you're a very beautiful mare." She blushed trying to hide her muzzle in her forehooves "you're just saying that you don't even know what it means yet" she tried to be sincere considering we hadn't finished going over adjectives yet. But I did know "I'm being honest I knew so much when I came out of that tube I feel like all of this is a little unnecessary." I state proudly "you- you really mean that? You think I'm beautiful" she asks shaking in her knees. "Why would I lie, I have no reason too, you haven't betrayed me in any way, right?" I ask "no I haven't" she says as I walk around to the other side of the table wrapping my forehooves around her in a embrace. I probably shouldn't have done it but so what, she's the first pony I actually care about in this prison.
