The Royal Clan

I woke up the next morning already in pain, using all my energy and nearly dying from blood loss can do that after all. So I had an idea, food, I was starving. Though one thought came to mind, ponies are herbivores and, as a wolf, I am a Carnivore. So I had to find someplace to find me proper food, every creature on this planet is sentient, self-aware. So what could I eat?! My stomach rumbled, I groaned in anguish. It feels like I haven't eaten in days?!

"What the hell, why is it so hard to find me any food?!" I shouted.

I heard mumbling beside me, and I looked over to find a purple unicorn and a familiar-looking dragon. 'So Twilight Sparkle stayed with me the whole night? Odd. Though I should be acting like my normal emotionless self, I don't wish for them to be confused, even though I know not why I have my emotions active again.'

"Hello, Miss Twilight, why are you here?" I asked in a confused tone, and as if my words were a switch, the purple unicorn yelped and jumped from the seat she was sleeping on. I chuckled and looked at her flustered face.

"Well you see, Sir Akky-" I grimaced from that title, "-I was told by Celestia to come to tell you will be departing to Canterlot with me and girls. When I saw that you were still asleep, I kinda...." I blinked in confusion.

"Anyway, Miss Twilight,-"

"Oh please, Twilight is fine, we are friends, right?" Friends?

My eyes widened when I heard her call us friends, 'Why would anyone wish to be friends with the creature of Apocolypse?'

"I um..." I was speechless, though Twilight saw my hesitation.

"If that is okay with, Sir Akky."

"I do not have friends, it is difficult."

Twilight looked shocked, "Why do you not have any friends?"

"It is because of my near-emotionless attitude, it is difficult to make friends when one does not laugh or smile." 'Though for some reason my emotions, that I had sealed, have returned with a vengeance.'

"That's okay, Sir Akky,-" I cut her off, "Please remove the sir, I am not special any longer I lost my title long ago." She continued, "-Okay Akky, well the girls will meet you at the Train station." With that Twilight turned and left the hospital room.

I looked over to the still sleeping dragon and grunted before shouting, "Wake up Mina!" She shot up like a bullet when she landed, she turned and gave a death glare.

"Jerk, I was having a good dream!" I raised an eyebrow, she growled.

"Were you now?" She nodded, "Then I am sorry to disturb you, though I am hungry, and we are going to Canterlot soon. I wish to eat before we travel on those annoying machines, though that may be a bad idea."

She snickered, "Yeah you have motion sickness Akky, you would eat and regret it after, so no food until we reach Canterlot."

I sighed weakly, "Aye." With that I rolled out of bed and slipped my tattered clothing on, I soon saw my broken sword leaning on the wall and grimaced. "I need a blacksmith." I slipped the sword into its sheath even though it was now useless, I could fix it later. I tried to push the hospital doors open right before a spike of pain interrupted me making me gasp for air, "Mina, door, please." I pleaded weakly.

Mina had to open every single door for me, as it would seem, even the slightest pressure on my ribs causes intense pain. I followed behind Mina, limping my body was having a difficult time even moving. So I soon asked Mina to carry me, she agreed it would be a good idea and she placed me on her back.

We exited the hospital and made our way to the train station both of us getting odd looks, Some fearful, others curious, and only a few with awe. When he made it to the train station both my and Mina's ears perked, someone was arguing.

"Look I get it Rainbow you are scared the Akky is hostile, though you have no proof, you are concerned for your friend's safety. Trust me when I say Akky is not a rabid animal, you are acting as though he is just waiting to strike, that is a foolish assumption." Came the smooth voice of Mirach, it seemed Rainbow was hostile towards me.

"I do not care how peaceful you think he is, the only reason I do not flatten him is that I would be in prison-" She was cut off by Mirach's growl of contempt.

"I was saying Akky could and would erase you from existence If he wanted any of you dead. You wouldn't even have a chance, he can crush your heart just looking at you, I would know he done it to me once." Rainbow was silent, "In fact, he wouldn't hurt your friends unless YOU attack him, but then it would be too late because everyone you love and care for would be dead. So drop the subject, and go be friends."

I growled, "Mirach enough, you know full well I do not harm anyone who does not harm others. The only reason I used heart attack was that you attempted to skewer me, it was not pleasant to anyone involved either." My words caused Mirach to jump and look at me in confusion, "I have no wish to harm her or the ponies she calls friends, I have a different mission." Mirach nodded, "Good. Now how well are you trained with your sword?"

"Yeah, I have gotten better Twilight loaned me a book on sword training, it was embarrassing, good thing you were not there."

"Aye, I would have teased you relentlessly, The greatest swordsman in the southern realms, a warrior who could not even hold thy blade straight." I chuckled, MIna laughed. "Though that aside." I turned my head and looked at the fuming Rainbowdash, "You really do have a Rainbow as your mane." Smoke started to drift from her nostrils, I sighed. "Mina set me down, please?"

Mina sat me down on my injured legs, my legs shook, but I stood firm.

Mirach saw what was about to happen and pulled Mina back, "This is going to end badly, Akky is too weak to properly fight and Rainbow is quite fast."

Mina sighed, "Have faith in our leader, he will push himself till he is successful as he always has."

Mirach grunted, "That is what I am worried about,"

I grunted as I expelled all my energy at once, a huge pressure wave formed pushing the grass back, a carter formed under my paws. Rainbows eyes widened in fear as if instead of looking at a small wolf she was seeing a huge blood-soaked dragon ready to consume her. Soon Rainbow's vision returned and she saw the wolf again only now his eyes were now glowing white, runes of magic floated around his body. I pushed out more and more power, The stars covering my dark grey fur started to move and shimmer. I pulled all my power back inside me, just as quickly as the light show started it ended.

"You see what I am talking about dash?" I said to the fear-stricken pony whose jaw worked with no sound. "If I had any hostile intentions you would have seen your own demise by my paws, So next time you try to intimidate someone make sure they are not your betters."

I walked past Rainbow Dash, the pony seemed to have broken out of the fear and turned to look at me with wide eyes, she noticed I was no longer limping. From the second forward she vowed to never make Akky angry, she did not wish to see his wrath when he was at full power. Even she could sense his power was empty, and that frightened her, so what did he just do and how?!

I walked to the train station, I saw 4 ponies. One was completely pink, the second pony was orange with a blonde mane and tail wearing a Stetson hat. The third pony was white with an odd purple mane and tail. The fourth was A yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail. He wondered where twilight was, that was until he felt something give out inside his body. Blood sprayed from his mouth and he cringed in pain, 'I shouldn't have done overdrive...my body was not ready.'

I wiped the blood from my mouth and sighed, "Where is Twilight?" I said slowly and carefully.

The orange pony perked up, "Oh, you see she's behind you." I looked behind me and saw two purple eyes staring into my face.

My response was, "Oh."

Twilight smiled, "Well That's Pinkie pie." She pointed to the completely pink pony, 'who would have guessed?' "That's Applejack." she pointed to the orange pony with a stetson hat. 'Ah so the pony with three apples on her flank has a name related to apples, I could have guessed that.' "That's Fluttershy." She pointed to the Yellow pegasus, 'Alright I got nothing.' "And that is Rarity," She pointed to the white mare.

"You all have weird names but mine is the weirdest, so I have no room to talk." I looked at the train and cringed, "Oh this trip is gonna suck..."

Twilight looked at me curiously as she walked onto the train platform, "Why is that Akky?"

"I have motion sickness." Was my response, everyone, or everypony looked at me oddly. "Like really bad."

Twilight looked thoughtful, "What can we do to remedy that?"

"Luckily I haven't eaten in days so I will not throw up, So that is a plus." Everypony looked at me with a concerned stare, "What it hasn't been the first time."

"Yeah, maybe Akky but you are already quite small and skinny. I mean for apple sake you look more akin to a foal than an adult pony, you should east more to grow."

'What is a foal?' My mind rattled with answers, 'Wait don't tell me?' I looked at their faces and for sure, they assumed I was an adult. "Oh, no I am only 12 years old." I looked away and stepped onto the train, with an indifferent expression. Oblivious of the looks of horror behind me.

"Wow, he's so young, though he acts so old." Twilight said in awe before her voice shifted in horror, "I can see his scars all over his body and he even has skills with a blade that could rival any of the best swordspony."

I sat on a seat and curled up, almost instantly falling asleep. I pushed all the energy that I had into healing my body, I knew it would take a while as my body was severely injured. So I fell asleep, into blissful sleep.

I was jolted awake, I murmured weakly, "H-huh?" I rubbed my eyes with a paw, "D-Daddy? M-Mommy?" I was inside a room made of wood, a room I knew all too well. I was inside The Royal Winged Clans Castle, "Father." I knew what this was, it was another damn nightmare.

I pushed off my bed and looked around trying to see any light that the castle normally let off, what I saw was frightening, the castle was completely dark. "Father?!" "Mother?!" I moved slowly, my paws hitting the stone ground making no noise. I came to the door that lead into my room, I opened the door, only for a hand to grab me by the throat. I gasped for air as the hand-applied pressure.

"Look what we have here, it's a pup, how much money do you-" The monster froze in place because of its fear at seeing my fur, when his friend with a torch came. They saw the stars all across my fur, "This is the one."

I heard a loud snarl and suddenly felt a warm liquid spray across my face, suddenly the hand holding my throat loosened. I fell to the ground rasping, I looked up and saw a Red wolf with a golden crown on his head, I knew who this was. "Father!"

I awoke from the dream and sighed, "I hate those memories."

"Hey, Akky are you awake yet?" I heard the muffled voice of Twilight, "We are close to Canterlot."

"Yeah, I am awake. What am I supposed to do anyway?"

"Well Celestia said you will be getting Royal Medical attention, and after that, you will be staying in Canterlot until you heal completely."

"Do I have to?" I groaned, "I don't wanna!"

I heard Twilight giggle, "Yes you have to, don't worry, she isn't mean or anything."

"That's not my concern, I hate nobles."

The train suddenly stopped making my stomach do a flip, my cheeks bulged, I had to resist the urge to throw up.

"Well, here we are, Canterlot."

"Also I wonder why are your friends giving me weird looks?"

"Oh..." She sighed, "I do not know." She was really bad a lying, but I didn't want to cause issues, so I ignored it. I just shrugged.

"Well, It's fine as long as I get help, after all, it was her sister who did this to me." I sighed, "Though I do not hold grudges it was particularly painful."

Well, hopefully, today ends better. I do not enjoy being poked and prodded.
