Incompertus Ego

“It's strange how such cute little ponies can become killers and cannibals,” a fiery voice invaded  my mind, “It's interesting how you can find comfort in any familiar situation. Even in a familiar nightmare. Wake up, the truth lies before you.”

My eyes instantly opened. I put my hoof to my head.  I felt sick to the stomach and could puke in any moment.

“Who are you?,” said the colt standing from inside his door.

“My name is Nox Eques.”

“I'm Wild Berry. My father is Evergreen.”

“Who is your mother?”

“I... don't want to talk about it.”

Wild Berry walked into the kitchen across from the living room, and took out a bowl of eggs from an icebox. He then started to cook scrambled eggs. “Please do not try to talk to me while I cook. It's sort of hard to speak with a spoon in my mouth.” says Wild Berry. I lay back down on the couch and his eyesight begins to fade.

Sudden images of houses burning flash in my mind. Screams of terror scratch my ears. Fanatic laughter of a demonic voice torture me. “Hey! Can you hear me?!” said a faint voice. My eyes flash open and I gasp for air as if I was being choked. “What the hay is happening to ya?” I soon recognize it was Wild Berry's voice. “I don't know... I just laid down to rest a little, and then these images and screams just invaded my head,” said I.

A timer begins to ring and Wild Berry walks back to the stove and begins to stir the eggs. I lay down my head and try hard to not close my eyes. The burning houses, screaming, and satanic laughter was torturing me. The thoughts just would not go away. I begin to stare at the burning fire. The red and orange flames burning and the black smoke did not sooth me. I jumped when I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Breakfast is ready,” said Wild Berry. “Oh my...! You scared me,” I replied. Wild Berry chuckles as he sits down at a table next to the couch. I walk over to the table and I sit down. “Scrambled eggs and nothing else?” I asked.

“It's all we have. It's sort of hard getting food when you are near the border of the Frozen North.”

“Then why are you ponies here?”

“We like it here. We like the trees, the snow, and the berries.”

“Berries?”

“Yes... the berries here is how I got my cutiemark. My special talent is farming russet buffaloberries. My mother used to make the best berry juice ever. Only if I could see her again,” A tear slid down Wild Berry's face.

“Sorry for asking, I really didn't want you to cry.”

“It's alright. It's just that I get emotional whenever I talk about my mom.”

I felt guilty, even though I didn't know that asking about berries reminded him of his mother. He started to eat and I just watched. I never ate like a pony before. I never wanted to eat like a pony, but now I seem to not have a choice. I watched him eat to see how ponies ate. I tried to do the same thing he did without it being awkward. I scooped up one chunk of scrambled eggs and chewed. He stared at me with a confused look.

“Did you loose your horn when you were born?”

I swallowed, “No, why?”

“You eat like you are from Canterlot or some other place fancy.”

“If it's how I eat, it's how I eat.”

I needed to amend my eating so I started to watch him again. I scooped up another chunk and chewed. He noticed that I was watching him. He shook his head and laughed, “You're one strange pony,” he said. We ate until we finished. He picked up his plate and mine by his mouth and set it in the sink.

~ There was supposed to be Evergreen in this breakfast scene, but I guess I accidentally removed it somehow. Also, there was supposed to be a scene where I notice a picture on the fireplace with Evergreen and Wild Berry but the far right of it being ripped off, as if it had someone they did not want to remember. Anyway, After this, they will go into town and a strange pony will be yelling vehemently, threatening to burn down the village and asking where Nox Eques is. I think Nox did not like how he was threatening the town, so he refused to go with him. The strange pony turned out to be demon possessed and the father and the triplets capture him and tie him down. The father finds his book that has a spell to cast out demons in Latin. Nox, with his knowledge of Latin, casts out the demon, but the demon somehow set the house of fire, which led it to spread. The fire grew more when water was used to put it out. Then the whole town is burned down and Nox is forced out of the village and Evergreen and Wild Berry go with him.

They then visit the Crystal Empire and get train rides around Equestria, starting with the West Coast, to help Nox figure out who he really is and along the way they purge some more demons and fight monsters. Evergreen tells a story of how when he and his wife were in the woods one day on a date. Somehow she disappears, being the last time he saw her.

I think in either Vanhoover or Balitmare Nox finds mare that he falls in love with, but I am not sure of Nox leaves her to protect her or if she goes along with him. Then they go to a village near Apple Loosa, where Nox and the gang encounter the green-eyed pony. She attacks, the father sacrifices himself, and they all or both escape. Wild Berry has an emotional breakdown because the green-eyed pony was his mother, but she was demon possessed.

I forget the rest, but I think they go to Canterlot soon after. Princess Luna calls Nox in personally and tells him who he really is. She tells him that Nox is actually the long lost son of Princess Luna, who the demon possessed mother had stolen on the night of his birth and brings him to earth so that Nox would not know the truth and be used by her to help conquer Equestria. Also, Nox also has a brother, who was stolen also and may have had the same fate. This is where the story ends and there was going to be a sequel where Nox meets his brother and another OC named Sharpeye, who helps them try to find the mother to cast out the demon inside her. And that's basically all of the story that I was going to write.

Sincerely,

Nox Eques
