My story isn't something even I understand 100% and I lived it, for thousands of years i had been alone, fatted to die in the dundeons of canterlot, but now my fate has all but changed. But so that you will get a... Well better understanding of it all, I will start from what i can tell you of my begining.
You see im almost as old as celestial herself, there's really only a 26 year difference between us, and as a matter of fact I'm an alicorn as well... But not like you'd think. I was birthed from a normal mare of a mother who loved everypony and everything... At least till I was born. My mother hated me and my father instantly the day of my arival, giving me no chance prove myself for her love, and all because of what and who my father was. He was the king of all changlings, and I had just become the prince making me just as guilty as he. We were trash that canterlot had no intentions of keeping.
I was all but abandoned by my mother. Though my father, even knowing that me Being half pony would keep me from taking his place on the thrown, had done everything in his power to save me before he died. But his attempts had failed as I was not saved by him I was not saved at all.
I would love to tell you alot more than this but its all i know. I was Kept in the canterlot dungons for years. I had watched as the changling race became nearly extinced, the fall of nightmare moon and her banishment, and years of life go flying out the window. It was not till Celestia herself came to visit the dungons were discored was kept to bring him up to use as a decor for her royal garden, that I had been released.
Celestia had become guilty, for it was her fault I was imprisoned without reason. She disided then, after finding i was just as able as a 2 year old child, that it was her responsabillity to take care of me. This was the begining of my new life, Celestia had taken me in as her aprentice and (with the complacations of the gaurds thinking I had kidnapped her and was holding her hostage) I was out of the dongons to see the light once more.
A hole year has past now and I can talk, eat (thats right being half pony alows me to eat food and have my appitite filled), and do other things on my own. Now Celestia wants me to shift into a youngling, so I could be accepted into magic kindergarden, witch on my behalf even in the state I am in, smarts of a 5 yr old, I felt its going to be disasterous. I know only how to change into my own form young and old, so becoming somepony else was out of the question for me. But Celestia thought it best I gone anyway.
"But Celestia! I'm not like everypony else they won't like me" I said.
"Oh, sweetheart you shall be fine you are of the royal castle they will treat you with respect, and you are not so different from anypony else I know" Celestia said. Is she trying to get me killed!
"But only because I'm of the royal castle will they respect me, it doesn't mean they'll like me!" I cried, "and not different from anypony else you know?! look at me I'm riddled with holes and I have fangs! Tell me you know somepony like me!"
"Than wear your boots my dear, they shall cover your holes till you feel comfortable with them." she argued, "Ive told you this before and you thought It a good Idea, did you not?"
"I did but now... I just don't think it will be a good idea," i said lowering my head.
"But why the sudden change of heart marshall?" liftting my chin as she spoke. "is it because i told you what had happened to you?"
"Celestia I'm a changling I don't belong." and with thoughs words said I began to sob.
"Now now my child," she said pulling me into a hug, "I know of no changling with such an extatic purple mane color, nor a beatiful coat of white, just because your part does not mean you are to be called changling. You are a very special somepony I promise you that, and I love you holes and all" she began rocking me gently and then humed my favorite mellody, waiting till my soft crys died away to speak again.
"Now your going to be late, here's your lunch and your saddle bag," she said, "Norman will take you to school today and will stay close by to make sure you are safe, ok?"
Norman is always nice to me even when celestias not around, unlike that snooty royal guard captian charcoal mane. "i guess thats ok," i said with a shy smile and a sniff.
"Good," she planted a kiss on my forehead as she talked, "Now go, Norman is waiting outside for you.
"Yes ma'am, good bye I love you" turning as a said my farewells and began hopping to the door. Before slipping out the door I pulled on my boots with heave of magic, waved one last time and left, feeling better about starting my first day of school.
Norman bowed his head as he said, "master Marshall are you ready to go?"
there was a short pause in witch we stared at eachother till we broke into laughter. "norm I so hope you don't plan on doing that through out today, because that'll be more embarresing than having holes in my body!" I got threw my giggles.
Once he had gaind control over his laughter he spoke, "Oh come on your royalty that's how your supose to be treated in public, and plus how is having holes in your body embarassing I find it rather awesome!"
"sure whatever Norman," I said with a fangful smile, "hey do you mind if we stop by the store before we go?" Norman looked at his watch and cursed.
"Not if were going to make it in time, you don't want to be late now."
I chuckled, for he was just like Celestia, "Norman I don't have to be to school for a hole hour." I rolled my eyes
he smiled that mischevious smile that only ment one thing he wasn't talking about school, "School who said we were late for school?" he reach behind him pulling out two tickets to the wonder bolts!, "I don't think Celestia will mind if you skip one day, do you?" I let out a shreek of joy, nope I wasn't going to miss this for the world.
Chapter 2
I just couldn't believe it! "You got the tickets to the wonder bolts daring diving anavercery Norm! How did you do it? the papers said they were sold out!" I said not even bothering to hide my pure joy of the subject.
"Shhh Marshall you don't need to let the world know," with a laugh and a tilt of his head to the door I just recently walk out of as he spoke.
"Oh, yeah sorry..." i said blushing, "that's a good idea."
He laught and said, "its whatever man," nudging me in the shoulder, "now come on let's fly!"
I smilled and with thoughs words said I closed my eyes and concentrated hard, engulfing my bare back in a purple flame reveling a pare of neon purple, bug like wings. I stop to catch my breath, and opened my eyes to see Normans exited face, complete with an ear to ear grin.
"that's to cool" he said giving a chuckle.
"If you think that's cool just wait till you see this," i gleemed, once again closing my eyes, but this time engulfing my wings in the flame, changing them into two white pegeasus wings. I begain to woble "cool huh?" I said in a dizzy voise and then colapsed with a "humph."
Normans chuckls turned into a side splitting laughter, and now he was on the floor as well. "Oh come on now, I don't want to have to carry you all the way!" he said when he had the chance to breath, "we don't have time for a break."
I stood up, still slightly wobly, and shook my head, "yeah your right," I said shrugging off the aches, "hey Norm?"
He looked up towards me, being he wasstill on the ground from the laughter that happened seconds ago, "what's up?"
My grin grew as well as my excitment and I could barely say what I did before I took off with great speed, "Last one there's a rotten pony!"
I could almost here him strugling to get up as I flew, but he did get up and caught up alot faster than expected. "Woah! You can fly." I admred, "I never knew you could be so fast!"
He laught and said, "when I was little I put my self through many tasks to make me as fast as Forest Fire," he winked at me, "I wanted to join the wonderbolts so I could get a chance to impress her."
"why didn't you try and go for it?" I asked out of pure curiousity.
Norman let his smile fade and gave a sigh, "I did try but they wouldn't accept me because they already got a new member, Dream Catcher" his smile came back, "but hey atleast I impress Forest Fire!" that he almost shouted, out of pride.
"After a while i heard of another group like the wonderboltz and i wanted to join them, But Celestia called upon me before I could," pausing to dogded six pegeausi moving a piano, looking at me again and his smile genres bigger, "and well at first I was disapointed but then I figured out what she needed from me it wasn't so bad."
"Really?" i was puzzled, why would he not care he so could have made it, "what was so important that you just let your dream go?" I asked manovering around a castle tower.
He flew next to me and bumped me on the shoulder, "well let's see... I believe it had to do something with a white, purple maned pegeausis pony who's name sounds like marshmellow." he answered in a joking manner, rubbing his hoof in my mane.
"You gave all that up for me?" ok now I feel real special, and supper confused, "why?" what is it that he seen in me that was strong enough to rip him from being like the wonderbolts! (not saying I don't enjoy that he didn't, but still)
He looked at me and smiled a gentle loving smile, "you reminded me of a little brother that never had a chance and I realised that you were more important," he spoke with emotion, I could see a tear fall from his eye and wanted to comfort him, "I seen it as if you were him givin a second chance to take a breath from the air we all breathe." he said pushing me, Your like my little bro."
I could even speak. I was sitting there like an ass, and a lump had formed in my throat and I wanted to cry, I never had a brother (or parents for that matter but oh well). "I... I don't..." was all I got out before I flew right into him sending us spirlling in the air.
He caught and stabled us both and then laughed, "careful speed racer your wobling," he said.
"Oops sorry." great that was embarresing.
"it's fine dude" he begain to fly us back on coarce and said, "we better hurry before we miss Forest Fire and Rainbow Blitz preform there blazing double rainbow!"
I wiped a tear from my eye and got excited "Thats there newest trick! We better move fast I don't want to miss it!" and we took off laughing a messing around the rest of the way there.
"we'er here! I cant believe it! I think I'm in shock I'm so excited!" I was litterally jumpping up and down so fast, I thought I was going to dessintagrate. "your the best!" grabbing him into a death grip hug and not letting him go till he was turning blue, "where are our seats?" I asked, searching all over the crowded statium as If I were sherclop holmes.
"well let's see the tickets say that we're right..." he begain looking around till he smiled as he found them, "there!" he said pointing over to the two premium seats, over looking the hole statium
"NORM i love you!" I said out loud, quikly shying away and turning red, realising I atractted looks from all the ponies around us.
He laught at me, "love you too Bro," he said messing up my mane, as if it wasn't all over already.
He laught harder as I fixed my mane, and then we walked to our, super awesome, premium seats! When I had gotten seated he asked if I wanted a drink or some popcorn, giving him my answer he left and came back a few minutes latter. "thanks" I said as he gave me my stuff.
As he was getting settled in the anouncer came on, "ladies and gentle colts I give you the wonderbolts!" at the last word spoke Rainbow Blitz, Dream Catcher, Rain Storm, and Blue Lava flew out of the hole in the center of the building of clouds in formation fallowng the lead of Forest Fire.
"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!" I was bouncing faster and faster, and apperently all my bouncing was vibbrating Normans seat causing him to fallow my lead. I wasn't quite sure but I think he was laughing at me.
They flew around for all to see, and after a while of that Forest Fire nodded to Blitz. At that moment Rainbow Blitz flew directly upwards breaking the formation leaving a trailing rainbow behind, then Forest Fire broke threw next spiraling after him leaving a firey trail of her own. The rest of the wonderbolts flew to a perch close to me and norms seats. Again norm was laughing but harder, for my bouncing had come to a complete stop and i almost couldn't tare myself away at how close they were to close my dropped jaw and look back at the two dancing pegeasi.
When I managed to do so, I realised that they had still been doing the samething but had flown so high they were almost out of veiw. Then Blitz took a hard right rainbow still fallowing, and then Forest Fire did the opposite, she turned left. When they got far enough away from each other they stopped and faced one another, Blitz looked around and then gave the ok. They had both flipped on there goggles and started flying in a circle never leaving there distance from eachother. They went faster and faster till they were just a blur of colors. I couldnt quite tell what they were doing, and then I seen it they had mixxed there two elements, Blitz's rainbow and Forest Fire's fire had become one making a ring of rainbow fire!
The two of them then began lowering in altitude getting closer to the crowd till they hovered just above everypony, never breaking the colorful ring. It was so beautiful, making the addience "ohh", "aww", and it also got my eyes to widden to a point it was scaring Norm.
"dude your eyes open any bigger and they'll fall right out of your head!" he said not sure wether he should laugh or not, "I mean what would I tell Celestia then?" this time he laughed for I let my eyes shrink to a "safer size"... That is till the coolest thing happened next.
In the center of the ring of colorful fire a bright white spark begain to form, sending lightning bolts to the edge of the shape making everypony jump each time it happened. I was shaking like a mad man and this time it wasn't my doing, the hole statium was shaking because of the trick. Forest Fire and Rainbow Blitz were closing the gaping hole in there ring causing the lightning to strike faster and everything and everypony shake harder. It was so amazing it was almost as if they were creating a portal to another world, and each time they made the gap smaller the more it looked the part. It was getting smaller and smaller making the intencaty of it all murdurous and it seemed they were almost done with it all, but then when they closed the ring the white light grew and formed around the two pegeasi till 'BOOOOOOOM!' the explosion sent a blast of colors all a crossed the crowd making there manes fly back from the force of it.
When the light and colors dissapeared it revealed the two ponies in the center hoof in hoof making a pose to impress. There was nothing, no cheers, not a sound everypony had been amazed into scilence. Then there was the sound of Norman's hooves clapping together and soon after, me and the rest of us begain to clap with him. Then there were screams and cheers of fans it grew so loun I bet you Even discored himself heard us.
"That was so AWESOME!" I screemed jumpping up and down in my seat using it as a trampoline, "this is the best day ever and it's not even over!" giggling like a little girl I almost fell off our perch but Norm caught me.
He was laughing once again today, as if it wasn't enough, "you are way to happy I swear, I know it's your first show but still" patting me on the back, "now if you thought that was facinating I bet you'll love Blue Lava, Rain Storm, and Forest Fire's raining fireworks!"
Again shaking and giggling, "I can't wait!" was all I said before the next performance started and that was it. After all the tricks, and the fireworks!, me and my best friend... No me and my brother headed home from a day we would never forget.
