Author's Note

This story was inspired by The Lonely Sun by Zamairiac.

I hope you guys liked the first chapter of the story.

I imagined my OC human with eagle-like wings that have golden, brown and cream feathers in rows on the wings.

The OC's name is Samuel D'Angelo and his wingspan is 15 feet.

The Lonely Mother

How long has it been since that fateful day?

I believe it's been...a few thousand...no...it has been a million...nay....twenty?

How many millenia has it been since I have seen another mortal life?

An endless and constant routine of day and night, light and dark, sun and moon. Raised by me to keep the world of Equestria alive and thriving. Along with some magic to keep it a blissfull paradise.

How long has it been since I have been doing it?

There are still animals here. Birds, insects, fish, squirrels, even the occasional bear or two. This world's harmony keeps them alive with my help. The price being sentience.

Simple animals no longer possessing the intelligence and sapience they once had all those years ago. You could talk to them, or ask them a question and you'd get a response. Now, all I get is silence.

At least I am not entirely alone in this world.

The grass remains lush and bright. The oceans still reflect the sunlight in the daytime. They are still beautiful under the moonlight.

Food is of little need to me, magic halting my requirements for such sustenance. If any of my little ponies were still here with me...if even just one, I could give this gift unto them.

Only one, actually. As powerful as I may be, but such conflicts against a pony and their nature is very taxing not only on my strength but my body and my mind.

If just one were here right now, I could talk to them, spend time with them. Oh, how I wish so badly to hear another voice beside my own.

Discord! He is to blame for all of this!

The sound of my hoof stamping in fury spooks various creatures around me, awakening them from their slumber.

I must be calm, I cannot afford to lose control again. I must remain calm no matter what.

Oh no, not again....

Fire. The endless flames incinerates the grass like a hot knife through butter, destroying everything and anything in its quake.

With a quick use of my horn, all is well once more.

The animals and everything that was lost in the flames has been restored, with a little less intelligence. The grass, the trees, the plants, all is well now.

Alas, the flames are my own doing. Brought by my bout of rage, grief and fury. It has been the price of my loneliness, the endless days of living by myself.

I pass out for just one moment, and as soon as I come to...

Everything around me burns...

I do not blame myself in any shape or form.

Rather, I blame Discord for all of this constant death and destruction.

He fooled me and everypony else into trusting him and his words. He denied having the ability to prevent or stop the false meteor that would have destroyed Equestria.

He convinced Luna, convinced Twilight, convinced everypony to leave this world and move to another and uninhabited world!

We all believed and agreed that he had changed and reformed from his evil ways. We believed that Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness had changed him for the better.

Oh, how wrong we were, how wrong I was....

I paid the price for that mistake. I still am.

I can hear the diabolical laughter, his laughter and his amused tone when he explained how my foolishness and believed trust in him had trapped me alone in Equestria for all time.

I remember as he snapped his talons and whisked all the illusions away that he had made to trick everyone, including myself.

How he taunted me about my fate, how he promised he would protect them and keep them safe, how he laughed about my soon-to-be eternal loneliness.

I knew in that moment that I would be eternally alone because of the mistake that I made. The mistake of trusting and believing him.

Why Mother? Why did you do this to me? What did I do wrong?

What did I do to make you abandon me? Was it banishing Luna?

Twilight and Cadence's Ascension?

I did what I did to Luna for the safety of everypony in Equestria. Luna was no more. Only the corrupted remains that became a monster. A demon that mocked me and everypony.

I did what I did to Twilight and Cadance because they deserved it. Twilight was so powerful, mother. Her raw talent was enough to rival my own when I was her age.

I loved her as if she were my own. The same could be said for Cadance. I also loved Sunset Shimmer as if she were my own daughter.

Twilight told me about the distance between herself and her mother when she was a little filly. She never knew of my hatred and severe dislike towards Twilight Velvet.

She was MY little filly. MINE!

Alas, she is gone now, for good. She's been gone for a very long time.

How I wish to speak with her once more, read books with her or teach her magic.

Sadly, those days are behind me and can never come back.

She is gone now. Forever. If I have not been forsaken a millenia or two.

It hurts me terribly. But if I had her permission, I would do anything to keep her or Cadance alive.

If I found one of my ponies alive, I would keep them safe and protect them. I would watch over them forever. And with their permission, they would be able to live forever.

What I would give for just one day with a mortal soul...

How long has it been since that naive and hopefull thought?

A few years, perhaps, since that thought.

I walk through the grass, seeking the sound I heard mere minutes previously.

It was not a loud sound at all. It sounded....It sounded like a teleportation spell...

I may just be delusional. It is not the first time I have imagined something like that.

W-What is that.

Before me is a small crater, smoke billowing off of it. Grass and rubble are scattered around the site. I curiously make my way over to it.

No....It cannot be...How?

What lies within....Is a life, is somepony else beside myself.

All other thoughts aside, I go down into the crater and lift the creature's head with my right wing.

It is bipedal and wearing...clothing?

It is young...So very young....

Perchance I could take care of it.

I do not know how it got here, but I will not complain about the gift before me.

The creature has a pair of golden feathery wings atop it's back. The feathers are mangled and require preening.

C-Can it talk?

A few minutes later I hear it speak.

A voice beside my own for the first time in a very long time...

"W-Where am I?"

He loses consciousness, falling asleep against my barrel.

I will take care of him and raise him as my own.

I will!

He will be my new heir and my son!
