Hello.

My name, is Silver Valerius, or, if you are a student of mine from the Celestial Academy, ( used to be known as the academy for gifted unicorns, until a lot of problems sprung up. Bad publicity, and all that ) I am probably known to you, as Professor Silver. If you know me, then you will know that I am to be called Professor Silver, or at the very least, Prof. Silver.

Currently at the time of writing this, I am 5'7, with no wings nor horns to speak of, which makes me bland. In many eyes, lesser than pegasus's and unicorns, especially inferior to alicorns, but, I am special. So special, that I am feared by all, even the alicorns. Now, you may wonder, "Why is a simple man feared? Why, would such a non-magical, non-flying creature, feared?".

I, Silver Valerius, am feared because of how I was created : by ponies. Not by love, like you may think. No.

I was created by magic, the darkest of kinds, from multiple books. Some, stolen from the royal sisters centuries ago when their palace in the Everfree fell. Some, stolen more recently, from the restricted sections of the royal sisters library, and from Twilight Sparkles library. And some, stolen from Lord Sombra himself, before the entire empire was cast away from light, down into the pits of shadow itself.

Many would say that I am a monster. Well, I must admit, I certainly look the part...

My eyes are a deep green, like the forest, with black slits for pupils, as dark as the void itself. My hair, a deep silver, just like my fur. My tail nearly having no fur at all, merely seeming griffon-like, the same material their talons are made of. At the end of this tail, is a tuft of silver, not too much, but a decent, handful sized amount. I have teeth, razor sharp, looking as though they can rip through steel. Fun fact, they can.

I wear suits, with red ties, and other deep, deep dark colors. But, mostly, I wear green, black, white, and red. To be honest, it just feels good in those colors. I feel, natural.

Its not just the outside of myself that is different, no. The inside is different from most as well.

I am extremely smart, and clever. Now, you may think I am boasting, but let me ask you this : who else, can defeat the alicorns in a game of chess, when they are all working together to try to beat you? I am not just talking about Luna and Celestia, no, I am saying ALL of them, Princess Sparkle, Princess Cadance, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna. All of them together, could not beat ME, in a game of chess. Trust me, they tried.

I believe the current score is 433, to 0, with 433 being how many wins I have.

But, onto the important matters!

I, like most other different people, or as you call them, monsters, are frowned upon, simply for existing. Merely us existing, offends people, making them say horrible, horrible things to us, and yet, we have done nothing wrong. Sure, there have been stories of us attacking normal people, but have you ever really read into that? Every single time, we were provoked, because we were attacked.

But, nobody cares about that. All they care about is the fact that we, should not, exist.

I write this too show my life, to show exactly who I am. Each day people have tried to hurt me, but in the end, I am merely hoping to improve the world. That is why I teach at the academy. I wish to leave an impact on people, that will change the world, not for the worse, but for the better.

This story will show my life, denying any chance for people, especially the royal sisters, a chance to act as if I do not exist. This will show my contributions to the world, and show that the term 'Monster', must be redefined if continually used to describe my race, for we, are not, monsters.

We are merely different.

... and if you don't like that, then buck off.

For everyone that is staying, lets begin!
