The Tale of Comic Field
A Colt is born unto the Pony Kingdom.
Load Full StoryNext ChapterWithin the Kingdom of Equestria, a benevolent monarchy on a planet called Equus, there was a noble family. They were known as the Field Family. The Field family consisted of a couple, Snake Field, and Frozen Gold. Snake Field was a animal keeper, specializing in Serpents, he is a bright green Unicorn, with a gray mane and tale, it was short and scruffy, with a snake as his cutie mark.
Frozen Gold on the other hand, is an Earth Pony originally coming from another Kingdom, known as Ponyland. Ponyland is an ancient Kingdom, comprising of where Ponies originally came from. Frozen Gold's job was an ice cream mare, selling ice cream to fillies and colts. She had a beautiful golden coat, with a long white and gold mane and a big tail. Her cutie mark were ice cubes with a gold bar inside of it.
There was another member of the family in the Field household, Snake's father, Nuclear Field. Nuclear was a dark coated, also gray maned, having almost the exact same type of mane style as his son's. He is well known throughout Equestria for inventing ways to use chemicals in the Royal Army when he was way younger, he's been studying chemicals since his colthood, hence his cutie mark, a Nuclear Symbol. But Nuclear is way older now, retired, and spends most of his time looking at old tapes with him and Celestia discussing the use of Chemicals.
The Field Family was a happy family, though, even though Nuclear seems sad, that is only because his wife died, long ago. Snake's mother died around the time he was born, and Nuclear hasn't been that happy, except when he is in the company of his son and daughter-in-law. He is the most happy now than he's been in decades, however. Frozen Gold is pregnant, Nuclear Field was happy that he is finally getting a grandson. The three nobles sat in their chairs at the fireplace, the fireplace having a portrait of Princess Celestia above their fireplace. They just watched the fireplace.
"Dad, I am so happy that you're happy again. You always seemed so sad when I was younger." Said Snake, Frozen Gold snuggled with her husband. Nuclear smiled and nodded. Snake's stomach started rumbling, he was hungry, he goes into the fridge to get something that ponies don't normally eat; meat. Snake, Nuclear, and their ancestors are Shadhavars, a Shadhavar is a Unicorn that hails from Purrsia. Shadhavars are omnivores, as apposed to herbivores like your average pony like Frozen, you can tell a Shadhavar from a regular unicorn by looking at their teeth, a Shadhavar's teeth is razor sharp, a Herbivorous Unicorn has normal pony teeth. Purrsia was it's independent nation for the longest time, until the Kingdom of Wingbardy conquered it a few years ago, in the ongoing Scramble for Zebrica.
But back to the Fields themselves, Frozen Gold is 7 Months Pregnant. 7 Months, the Fields were happy with life. Celestia finally set the moon that night, and the Fields went to sleep that night.
2 Months later, Frozen Gold gave birth to her baby, accompanied by her husband, the baby was a Colt with a white mane, he has a dark green coat.
"Hmm, what to call him?" Asked Snake Field, Frozen and Snake wondered for awhile what to call their baby. Snake looked at a rack of magazines, picked one up, and looked into it. "Well...I honestly have no idea how Colts and Fillies are named. I assume it's the first thing they see. How about Comic? Comic Field."
"That's a nice name, dear. But that would imply the first thing your father saw was a snake." Snake laughed, they took Comic home, Nuclear held his grandson and hugged him lightly. Snake got his son and put him into a crib. Comic was raised under the influence of Celestia being a great ruler, being a noble family, the Field family were very loyal to Celestia. 3 years later, he gained a sister, Train Station. The 2 ponies played with each other, and Comic guarded Train with his life. Train ended up being a Pegasus, she had a poofy yellow mane and a cyan coat.
At first, Comic was placed in a normal primary school with his sister. However, that changed when he turned 10 years old.
"Mommy, why do I have to change schools?" Asked Comic, his mother look at him and smiled.
"Deary, you're a Unicorn, born into a noble family in this city of Canterlot! The School for Gifted Unicorns is perfect for you?" Replied Frozen,
"What about Train?" Asked Comic
"She'll remain in primary school, we've talked about her going to school in Cloudsdale, but she told me she wants to be a Train Conductor, which isn't exactly a "Pegasus" thing, y'know?
"You're right. But I haven't even earned my cutie mark yet." Said Comic, Frozen smiles and explains he'll get his when he's ready, like what every mother tells their colt or filly regarding Cutie Marks. Comic gets his satchel on.
"I love you mommy!", Said Comic.
"Love you too, son..." She replied, Comic leaves to the school for gifted Unicorns. He goes to the academy and goes into the classroom, before him is Princess Celestia, the Sovereign of Equestria, he bows to her.
"Ha, silly Colt, you don't have to do that, in this academy, I'm your teacher, not your Princess! Sit up front, and we'll begin class." Said Celestia, Comic sits next to a Purple Unicorn.
"Hello, I'm Twilight, what's yours?" Asked the Unicorn.
"C-Comic Field." He replied.
"Do you like books?" She asked.
"Oh yeah, I'm kinda interested in writing when I'm older."
"Oh, nice! I just like Reading, I love studying, I'm Celestia's Brightest pupil!"
"Oh, well, I come from nobility, I hope I can be happy in this school."
"Trust me, you will be." Twilight and Comic nodded at each other and faced the board, as Celestia started teaching. Comic Field was taught many feats of Magical Ability. Comic payed attention hard, once class was dismissed, Twilight and Comic went into the library to study "So, Comic, this is a great place to study magic, and the history of Equestria! ...Which you probably already know about, being nobility." Said Twilight.
"Actually," said Comic, "I don't know that much on the history of Equestria. What I do know is that Celestia is our sovereign, our princess, so she is the one to ask for help. So studying history would be pretty cool. How about this one, 'The Mare in the Moon'? That sounds interesting." He opens the book.
"Hmm, Princess Celestia says it's just an old pony tale, but-" Before Twilight could complete her sentence, Comic put the book up.
"If her Majesty says it's not real history, it's not real history. Probably some Children's novel, like Maretilda or Green Eggs and Carrots." Said Comic.
"Hmm, you're very loyal to the Princess aren't you?" Asked Twilight.
"Of course. My father told me that for generations, since the Field family moved from Purrsia centuries ago, we've been absolutely loyal to the Princess, no questions asked. This is because our princess is our protector, protector of Equestria and it's dominions." Explained Comic, Twilight sighed.
"Comic, even monarchs can be wrong sometimes, I have a sneaking suspicion that might be real." Replied Twilight, Comic starts laughing, Twilight gives a plain face.
"Oh you're serious? Hold on, let me laugh even harder!" Comic continues to laugh, Twilight rolled her eyes. "Phew, 'Even Monarchs are wrong sometimes', you're a funny filly, Twilight."
"Okay Comic, well, we have this spell book, based off of what Starswirl the Bearded created. It can be hard to master these spells." Comic and Twilight studied it, along with studying other spell books. Comic only really got used to telekinesis and laser magic, but this is his first time, so it makes sense.
However, Twilight didn't really consider Comic that much a "Friend", not that much anyway, as Twilight is more into just studying, she saw Comic as like, a "Study Partner", more than a Friend. But he was the closest anyway, aside from her parents and her brother. The next day, Comic came into class happily.
"Good morning Celestia." He said as he entered the class and sat next to Twilight, he looks at her and noticed her cutie mark. "Huh, nice cutie mark, 'study partner'? What'd you do to earn it?" he asked Twilight.
"I hatched a Dragon, his name is Spike, and here he is, next to me." She said, as Spike is sucking on his tail. Twilight and Comic listened to Celestia's lecture and at the end of class, Twilight and Comic went to study again.
"Did you hear the news?" Asked Comic, "I heard that Wingbardy is invading Abyssinia as apart of the Scramble for Zebrica!" He replied.
"Oh yeah, my mommy told me about that. It's kinda scary, the Griffons are after the continent of Zebrica, taking advantage of those poor Zebra...anyway, let's get to studying." Said Twilight, they began studying more spells, Comic was pretty good at laser beaming attacks, but still have a little trouble in telekinesis. However, Comic did well at studying History, specifically the feud between Wingbardy and Abyssinia, as it is likely he'll receive an essay about it in light of the recent invasion. His suspicions were correct, because on Friday, he received it. Comic proceeded to write a 4 page essay on the subject, Celestia is very impressed, considering Comic was only 10 years old. He felt his flank get all tingly.
"Comic, you received your Cutie Mark!" Said Twilight. Comic looked at his flank, it was an orange Notebook and Pencil.
"Hmm, guess I'll become a good writer than. I can't wait to tell mommy about my cutie mark!" He showed his family, they were proud of him. "Hey mommy, daddy, grandpa, how'd you get your cutie marks?" He asked.
"Oh, when I was a child, I noticed this python had a bleeding tail, so I took it home and took care of it. Thus, I earned my cutie mark." Said Snake Field
"I earned mine from serving this golden ice cream. As you may know, as I serve it to you and your sister all the time, it tastes heavenly." Said Frozen Gold
"Sonny, I earned my cutie mark from mixing chemicals together, discovering new elements and the such." Said Nuclear Field.
"That's really cool! I wonder when Train will earn hers? Hopefully soon. I don't want her to be called a 'Blank Flank' by some entitled child." Said Comic.
"Ugh, I know, fellow nobles sometimes think they can just push people around, especially that 'Spoiled Milk' bitch." Said Frozen, she gasped a little, "Pardon my language."
"No, hon, 'bitch' is a good way to describe her. She is...insufferable. I'm glad we sent Comic to a Unicorn school instead of a private school for snobs!" Said Snake Field. "Ahem, anyway, go to your room and play, Comic, your future is soon!"
Snake was correct. Throughout the years of Comic Field going to the school of gifted Unicorns, and studying with Twilight, by Age 13, he mastered beaming, and by 16 telekinesis, of course he mastered minor spells such as being able to walk on Cloudsdale Clouds like a Pegasus, or to turn things into teacups. However, by age 17, Twilight had graduated. Comic no longer had a studying partner, as his sister was more interested in being a train conductor, hence her cutie mark, which is that of a steam locomotive. Comic was alone when he studied, but he understood, Twilight chooses books over friends. However, Comic tried pulling a history book, and it unearthed a secret room. It was cold, gray, and stone. Filled with books that might be even older than Equestria herself. At the end of the stone, cold hallway, he found a book of Dark Magic. Comic was told that Dark Magic was a bad thing...but he was curious as an Abyssinian. So he checked it out. It contained many dark spells, such as Necromancy, fatal spells, and spells designed to torture and kill. Comic was sickened, but also...was morbidly interested. Comic snuck it into his satchel and closed the secret door, he goes out of the library, to see a mad Celestia.
"Where were you, Young Colt? You were supposed to go home 30 minutes ago." Said the Princess.
"I...got a hayburger. I was hungry, didn't realize how hungry I was, so I ate a few..." He said, he felt devastated to lie at his sole protector, but he needed too, or else his new study will be confiscated. He left, and told his parents and grandfather the same thing. When they believed him, he hadn't been so relieved since the Abyssinians won against the Wingbardians a year after the invasion.
When Comic turned 18 years old, he graduated from the academy, and now prepared to go off on adventures throughout Equestria, while writing books of many genres. From Comic Books, to novels, to a history of what happened during the Wingbardian invasion of Abyssinia, which ended with humiliation in Zebrica, and about how they're gearing up for a war with the Falcorian Queendom. Comic described the Wingbardian Parliament as a bunch of warmongerers bent on surpassing the Griffonian Empire.
But anyway, it is now time for Comic to go on his own little quests...
