Red knight
Part 4
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"So this farsight you saw him as a friend?" Tao asked as she and other heard the tale of the commander farsight making them all looked upon the space marine as he nodded.
"Not just my friend but a equal... see I was taught to believe all alien races or Xenos where unworthy of life and when it came down to meeting one they must be purged. But when my brothers left me behind to die all because I was a warbeast I thought no one would come and save me for even the emperor that I believed was a god turned his back on me, as I bleed out i saw it. The symbol that I now wear proudly on my armor *taps his shoulder pad* The symbol of the red star,"
All listen to his story as he continues even Celestia was listing intensively.
"That day I thought I was going to be killed off by some random xeno looters but what came was a medical party that ran to my aid. At first I still believed that xenos where a threat but as I saw the medical leader I saw not a alien but a person... a person willing to save my life. It didn't matter if he was a tau he was worried for me! A space marine that was made to kill all of there kind without a single thought. When this tau and his comrades where removing me from my damaged armor onto a medical drone I began to question my beliefs in the emperor of man and the blood ravens,"
"What did you do?" Fluttershy asked in a quiet voice.
"Well my dear friend I was confused at first where parted of me wanted to believe while the other part of me wanted to believe there was something wrong with my beliefs. Boy was that part of me right, the moment I let go of my weapon was the moment they brought me into there ship and began to nurse me back to health and that was the moment I realized that humans, warbeast, or Felinid was no different from the tau or any xeno race for there was even Eldar on that ship that healed me,"
"Whats an Eldar or a Felinid?" Twilight asked as she had a notepad and pen.
"Thats a story for a another time young one but when I was nursed back to health I meet Farsight himself and he wasn't what my chaplin told me about him. He was kind and filled courage, he told me that he was glad I was alive and wished if I wanted to see the galaxy from a different proscivive and my cursoity told him yes. For the next two years I learned may thing that the imperium didn't want us to know about and what horrors the very Imperium did to there own people! They would kill children even though they didn't do anything wrong all because there parent disobeyed orders in a battle all because of 'loyalty to the emperor'. After those two years I decided to take up arms and fight against the powers I once fought for as I fought alongside farsight along the way," Alexander told them as they all listens to his tale. "They called me traitor but the ones I protected called me hero! One time I defend a child that had a slight mutatntion and the imperial guard were to shoot upon this child in a firing squad. I didn't let that happen as I ambushed them right then and there with my blade and I slaughtered the heartless monsters and took the child into my arms. Though Farsight wasn't to happy with me not following his orders but he once understood what I did was right and that was good with him,"
"They would kill a child?" Fluttershy said as Alex nodded.
"Sadly yes but that doesn't compare to the time they would destroy a entire planet all because of some rebel movement for a better life!" This caused all to gasp at the sound of it as Alex held his head in shame. "Those rebels wanted to join the Enclave but when we got there we wear all but too late for they destoried the plaents core causing it to burn the surface into nothing but ash,"
Alex scoffed as they looked at him in horror
"All they wanted was a better life! Due to that they were all killed even the woman and children without mercy! And by the primarch Guilliman no less! He was support to be the emperor's grand champion so when that blue son of a bitch came to Farsight with a offear for a alliance and after that rebellion? Farsight told Guilliman where he can shove that alliance to. Though Guilliman said it wasn't his fault but we knew he was lying that bastard was responacble for the lives of countless innocent lives that Farsight was even furious so much that we came into battle with the primarch," That was when he moved his hand to his chest as he spoke. "And that was when I gave my life to defend my leaders life with my own..."
All gasped at the sound of this as Alexander said this.
"But... But if your support to be dead than how are you here partner?" Applejack asked to which the tau marine spoke.
"Simple the dragon of light found me and offered me a deal... Move on into the past life with my brothers-in-arms or go on and live again as a protector for one of his maidens. Of course I asked him what he was about and what he believed in and he told me everything there was about the dragon of light for he along was our 'Greater good'! That sold me as I did it and I'm glad I got to guard such a beautiful lady as yourself Tao," Alexander said as Tao blushed holding her cheek from the complement. "And that is how I came to be in this world so tell me celestia am I still a threat to you?"
Celetia turned to applejack who spoke.
"He's telling the truth princess," Celestia turned back to alexander and Tao and sighed.
"I guess you are...for now,"
"What? Princess after all he's told us how can you not believe him?" Spike asked to which the princess spoke.
"I believe him dearest spike I just don't trust him," Celestia said as Spike looked at his adoptive-mother with a worry. "Besides that I don't think hes a total threat to our world that is if he willing to lay down his weapons and armor for study,"
Alexander shook his head.
"No I can't allow you to do that," Alexander said as Twilight stood up.
"Why can't you? We can learn so much from your equipment and be as advance as this 'enclave' of yours is!" Twilight said as Alexander waved his hand.
"Answer is still no and it will be no as long as I draw breath and I live up for many more years than the average mortal," Alexander said as they looked to him.
"Just how long can you live?" Twilight asked.
"Many many long years," Alexander said as Twilight puffed.
"That doesn't answer my question,"
"It does you just don't know it yet dearest child,"
"I'M NOT A CHILD!" Twilight screamed as Alexander rolled his eyes.
"I believe we are done here," Alexander said as he got up as Tao did as well the two began to walk away from the group as the priestess spoke up.
"Hey Alexander?"
Turning his head to the priestess he blushed at what he saw before him.

'Whoa'
"Yes Tao what is it?" Alexander asked to which she spoke.
"Are we friends?" She asked to which he nodded.
"Of course we are I thought we shared a friendly moment when you kissed my forehead," He said as Tao blushed as she covered her mouth with her sleeve.
"You were awake for that?" She asked as he nodded.
"Kinda I felt it to be honest," He said as she turned bright red.
"I'm sorry," Tao said hiding behind her long sleeve.
"You musten be sorry I liked the affection," He said with a blush behind his helmet.
"I... Thank you Alexander," She said as he looked to her.
"For what?" He asked to which she spoke.
"For being my friend I don't have any because of one thing," She said as Alexander titled his head.
"From what?" He asked to which she spoke.
"My eyes haven't you tell? Some say my eyes belong to a daemon," She said as he spoke.
"I... you don't have friends because of your eyes?" He asked to which she flinched.
"Do you not like my eyes?" She asked as he walked over to her as he held out a hand and placed it on her cheek.
"No I love your eyes...*Tao blush deepen* They are more vibriante than the star themselves,"
"You ready think so?" Tao asked to which he nodded.
"I know so," He said as she smiled.
"Thank you,"
"Come on lets get inside we don't want to get you fur wet," Alexander said as she looked up at him confused.
"My fur wet?" He pointed to the sky as she saw it... pegesi push clouds together to have it rain.
"Oh well lets head inside then," She said as he nodded with that the two friends entered the castle together...as Tao snaked her hand into his own.
