       I remember my mother. The mare who took care of me during my young life. I remember her frail body, and her gentle composure. Her fur and hair as white as paper, her eyes, amythist blue. She always spoke so softly, almost to where I can't hear her. Her hooves were delicate, but sharp with discrete muscle tone. Her laugh like the gentle breeze. Her cutie mark, a symbol of a bridgeless A with water waves flowing through it.But I believe the most noticeable thing I remember of her is her smile. She always gave me that beautiful smile. The kind of smile that showed all her teeth, her pearly white,.....razor sharp teeth.

       I remember the forest we lived in. Secluded, and alone. It was only us and endless wilderness all around. I remember exploring that forest all the time. The things I discoverd, and the adventures I had with my best friend, a field mouse I named Ben. The things I learned from that forest and my mother. I also remember eating meat even though I hated the taste, but my mother told me that when I get older I'll learn to enjoy the taste of charred animal flesh. She also told me I needed protein to become big and strong. Of course at the mentioning of that, I greedily ate my steak.

      I remember the winter. Always so cold. The wind powerful enough to topple grand birch trees, and shake the earth, but our cabin kept us safe. I remember my mother chopping wood outside as I heated up the stove. I also remember her pausing from her activity, and freezing stiff as she looked of into the distance.

      I remember her running inside the cabin with a horrid expression upon her face as if she saw a ghost.

       Then I remember running through the forest. The blizard has become much more severe. I couldn't see, or hear, but my mother's touch guided me to safety.  I grew tired, and faint, I could no longer run. She pleaded me to keep going, calling my name over and over to keep me awake. I asked her how much farther we must run, but she suddenly stopped.

      I remember something blocking our path. Some one.

       I could feel my mother tense up as her fur stood on end. She growled a low growl, bearing her fangs. I looked at what it was she was bieng so worked up over for I've never seen my mother like this. That was when my fur tensed up.

       A shadowy figure emerged from the endless whiteout. His hooves steps making loud, audible crunches in the snow. I couldn't believe my eyes, was it another pony? It was, and not just any pony, an alicorn. My mother taught me about alicorns, but I don't remember them looking so scary. His face was concealed by a mask and respirator. His body covered in a thick black cloak. He spoke to us in a distorted voice. A wretched sound that could be the equivilant of two pieces of sheet metal scraping together.

      He told my mother that "I've finally found you", and my mother telling me to run back and never look back. She didn't come with me.

       I followed my mothers wishes and ran. The wind wasn't enough to drown out the sounds of magic discharge, and splitting wood. I worried for my mother for she couldn't use magic since she was an earth pony. Though my doubt got the best of me as I heard a blood curdling scream.

       I remember following that scream, the snow was stained with blood. I remember seeing my mother, bleeding, and near death on the ground. She looked up at me, her pained expression hid behind her bloody smile. A trail of blood trickling from her eye down her left cheek. her thin glasses cracked and shattered. Tears filled my eyes as I saw her, I couldn't bare to witness the only one I hold dearest to be hurt like this.

      I remember when she caressed my cheek and told me everything will be fine. She handed me a book from her tattered saddle bag. Her blood pooled around her and stained my hooves.

She told me....

"Never forget who you are."

       Her eyes closed, and her body lay still.

      I wailed and begged my mother to come back as I shook her lifeless body. To no avail, my mother was gone.

      Laughter, laughter all around me. Shadows creeped and danced all around as the black alicorn emerged from the snow. His hooves and cloak stained with blood, my mother's blood.

       I never felt so angry in my life. I charged at him with all my might, but he flicked me away like he was swatting a fly.

      "You're not ready." He said as he turned and left, leaving me, and my beloved mother.

       I remember bieng on the verge of freezing to death, how cold I felt as I clutched the book to my chest. My mother's blood has dried on my hooves, the rusty scent of it became more pungent to where it was almost unbearable. I rocked back and forth, cradling the book in my hooves as I awaited cold, slow death. But death escaped me.

     Two unicorns came to me. A shinning light behind them. Their faces obscured from the light, but I could tell they were both female.

      "Who are you little one?" They asked among other questions. They nodded to each other.

"I've always wanted a daughter." One said.

"No." Objected the other. "I believe it's a colt."

"What's your name little one?"

I told them my name, and they shielded me from the cold.

      They took me aboard a ship, full of fancy buttons and lights. One unicorn sat in a chair and prepared for take off as the other wrapped me in layers of thick blankets. She smiled at me. A warm gentle smile. Her teeth were flat and rounded. I smiled back, and she nearly fainted. Luckily, she didn't, and only hugged, excepting me as her own no matter what.

       I remember blasting off, leaving the planet I didn't even know the name to behind. I remember the night mares I soon had afterwards, my mother's death on replay over and over in my mind.

       I remember the unicorns concerned expressions, but then their contemptuous smiles as they touched their glowing horns upon my head.

      Now I don't remember. I don't remember my mother, I don't remember the book, and don't remember why I needed to eat meat.

     I could only remember my name.
