Mordecai: The Last Of The Dinorex

Mordecai: Last Of the Dinorex

Chapter I: The Journey

It was pretty much a normal day for Mordecai. He was like a dragon, but not a dragon. His race was called 'Dinorex', and he was the last left of his species, but he didn't know this.

He walked down a small field, where he harvested crops. There were no animals, so he'd learnt to become a herbivore. He was pink, a 'Pinkie Pie' pink. But Mordecai knew nothing of ponies yet. His spines were a darker shade of pink, and his underbelly was a whiter pink.

As he walked through the corn field, Mordecai thought to himself 'I wonder if I am the only being in Equestria?' He knew about Celestia and Luna, and the whole 'Nightmare Moon' thing, but he didn't ever know what a pony actually was.

He was 22 years old. But compared to ponies, that's like being 5 or 6. Mordecai had thought he was the only Dinorex left in the world, [when Mordecai uses the word 'Dinorex', he means 'everyone' or 'person/pony'].

Later, after he had done with the crops, he got back to his house, which was just a hollowed out rock. But it had furnishing, and a picture on his wall, a picture he never remembered making, or getting. The only thing he knew about this picture was that, he had noticed it soon after his mother had died. That was a difficult time in his life.

When it was time to go to sleep, Mordecai decided to himself that he would venture out into the world, he had had enough of just being a farmer. So before going to sleep, he gathered the necessary belongings, and put them in a small bag. He put the bag next to a torn up mattress, which he called a bed. He got onto his bed. He needed no blanket or quilt because he was cold-blooded [not as in 'evil']. his touch was warm, but his blood was literally cold.

He closed his eyes, and rested, quickly going into deep sleep, and having strange dreams about what the outside world would be like.

-Ponyville-

"Spike?" said Twilight, a purple unicorn, with a cutie mark, which coincidentally matched her name. her mane was a dark colour, with one light purple stripe, and a blue stripe.

Spike, a small purple dragon, with green spikes [:3] and a green underbelly walked into Twilight's room, which was just the second story of a library she lived in. "Yes, what is it?" he asked. Twilight was sat on her bed,

"I need you to write a letter about the importance of trust" she said.

"Ok, what shall I write?" he said, grabbing a quill and a piece of paper, or parchment.

"Dear Princess Celestia, today I learned that if your not sure about something, and no-one believes you, you cant always expect your friends to help you." she said. Spike was still about halfway writing it.

"Okay, and…done!" he said. "Twilight?" he said. Twilight stopped daydreaming,

"Huh, yes Spike?" She asked, not realizing he'd spoke.

"Do you…think that I'm the only dragon in Ponyville?" he asked. Twilight looked at him with a lot of confusion.

"Spike, why did you bring up that subject again?" she asked. 'Spike knows he's not the only dragon, why-' she was thinking before Spike spoke again,

"It's just, it gets kind if boring when you've got friends you can hang out with, and go on adventures and stuff…" he trailed off.

"Spike, I don't let you come with me because I'm worried you'll get hurt or something else. You're only a baby dragon you know." she said. Spike walked back down the stairs. He mumbled to himself,

"Yeah, when I'm 20."

-The Next Day-

Mordecai had been awake since 6am. It was now 7:34am. He had been making sure to get everything he needed.

"Right, so I've got food to last for about 10 days, err, and I've got my harmonica." he packed the items as he read them aloud. "Toothbrush, toothpaste, and that's it…" he said. He never usually had much to do, which is why he decided to- "Oh, and my mum's painting" he said. -move, and find a new living location.

He got his belonging's in a small bag, which he hung on his shoulder. He left the front door, which he needn't lock, seeing as no-one lived anywhere near him. He walked down a cobblestone path, which eventually ended. "Left, no, right, yeah right." he said, turning right, and starting to walk.

-Somewhere in the palace-

"Luna?" asked Princess Celestia, walking up and down on a balcony. Suddenly, a bright flash, and Luna appeared.

"Yes, Sister?" she said.

"It's the Dinorex" she said. Luna backed up a little,

"He's finally moving?" she asked her sister. Celestia nodded,

"Yes, and his mother asked before she passed, we must ensure his safety while he travels to Ponyville. It is a 32 mile walk." she said.

"What was his name again?"

Celestia smiled, "Mordecai" she softly spoke.

-Ponyville-

Twilight was walking down a street, a market, trying to find someone.

"Spike!" she shouted. It appears he had run away.

"Spike! Where are you?" she asked again, getting stares. 'Spike, what is with this sudden mood change?' she thought to herself.

-Elsewhere-

"I'll show you, I find another dragon, I have to!" Spike spoke to himself. He'd gone to see Zecora earlier, about how to find dragons, she told him to go left of Ponyville.

What he didn't know was that Celestia had told Zecora of Mordecai.

He was about 4 miles from Ponyville when Twilight had gone to see Zecora, and Zecora had told Twilight about his leave.

So Twilight ran in the same direction, hoping to find him.

Meanwhile, back to Spike, "Maybe I shouldn't have left" he said. It was expected that at one point during his adventure, he'd consider going back home. "No, I have to know where I came from!" he burst out in anger, he was upset, angry, confused, and frankly had no idea where he was going.

-Mordecai's Adventure-

It was 32 miles to Ponyville from his house/cave, and Mordecai was already 11 miles away from his cave, but he didn't know this, he'd just walked for a long time.

"Oh, there has to be something out there, like, even if it's a bug, or a tree…" he said, surely he'd have to find something soon, some sort off life?

"There's nothing." he said.

He carried on walking, it was about 3pm by now.

He stopped walking, and sat down, he was getting hungry, he opened his bag, and took out a small bread bun, with jam in it. He ate it as slowly as he could, for he couldn't eat again for at least 6 hours. He had not packed enough food, but it looked enough when he packed it.

When he got up, picked up his bag, and carried on walking, he had a few flashbacks of his mother, the ones he remembered. One was of when he and his mother were making something, he couldn't remember what, a cake maybe? Another one of him hiding under the floor, when he'd dug a small hole under the house. And when his dad left, he didn't come back.

That was why his mother had…left? Died?

All Mordecai knew was that his mother was too weak to carry on, so she either left or died. He assumed it was the latter.
