Kind Hearts
A kind heart
(This is a prologue to Heir to the solar throne it doesn't matter which one you read first, but Heir to a solar throne is complete so while you wait until this story is finish)
A thousand years ago
"Corporal Kind Heart of Equestria royal guard! You are hereby discharge from duty with honor"
"Thank you, sir" Kind saluted his general for the very last time
"Any plans for the future?" he asks
"Plans? I'm not too sure, sir...? Maybe I'll just serve has a servant in the crystal" Kind said while he rubs his mane
"Servant? There are better careers for former guardsmen" The general said, Kind just hunched his shoulders.
"I know, sir" said Kind, Kind never planned to use his military career for his own benefit
"Well whatever you choose to do! I hope you'll enjoy your new life" the general said with a smile
Two months later, Kind Heart managed to gain a job as a message pony for Princess Celestia and Luna. He could have gotten a better job with his military connections but he didn't want too, he was never fond of using power for his own benefit, Kind Heart was just too kind.
"Morning, princess Celestia" Kind Heart said, Kind held a beautiful metal tray in his mouth with a mountain of scrolls.
"Morning...? Are you new?" Celestia ask, Celestia knew every single pony in her castle but she had never seen this one before.
"Yes your highness!" Kind said, Kind gently bowed at the solar princess "Kind Heart"
"Kind Heart? Hmm…...why is that name so familiar?" Celestia questioned
"I use to be part of your royal guard" Kind said, Celestia who hadn't moved her eyes away from her work gave a quick glance at him.
"Why haven't you pick a higher place in the castle?" Celestia ask as she returned her gaze to her work
"Because I refuse to use my military power for my own benefits, ponies have to work hard for what they went and ponies like me are just given whatever they want" Kind said, Celestia look away from her work, she was surprise to hear something like this from a former guardsman.
"That's very noble of you" Celestia said, Kind just smiled at her before he places the tray down
"Have a good day, princess" Kind said
Celestia still couldn't believe a former guardsman with successful military career, would decided to choose a career as a servant.
"Evening sister" yawned Luna
"Luna do you know of a servant called Kind Heart?" ask Celestia, Luna yawned once more while she went through all of the names.
"Kind Heart? Hmm…. I believe he started two months ago" Luna said. Celestia couldn't believe Kind Heart was her servant and she hadn't notice him sooner. "He's a very nice pony, he works a lot of hours if I'm not mistaken"
"But why? He should receive funds from his military days" Celestia questioned, she couldn't understand why Kind would do all of this? The low ranking career? The large amounts of bites? What was he up to?
"I'm not sure, sister" Luna said, Luna sat on her throne and stretch "He's a strange pony"
"Strange indeed" Celestia agreed
Kind made his way home, he took the same route every single day, the poor side of Canterlot. Not many ponies know about this section of this beautiful city, but not all ponies are privileged with the glamorous life.
"Mama….is there any food?" a young earth pony ask to her mother
"No" the mare simply replied
Kind smiled and walk towards him, the filly wondered why this nicely dressed pony was in a place like this?
"Evening, sir" the filly mumbled, Kind took out a small bag of bites and gave it to the filly, "Oh sir! There no need for that"
"Just take it" Kind said with a gentle smile
"Thank you so much" the filly said, she never met a kinder pony in her life. Kind just smiled at the filly before he continued his way home.
