I was of age. My time had come to be assigned a realm to watch over and protect. My mentors taught me to be a Protector, because I was not suited for Guardian, Watcher, Assassin, Keeper, or Destroyer. My temper was mild, but my emotions tended to get in my way at times, and I liked taking the more drastic route in solving problems.

Our species is revered, and most considered us gods. We looked mostly like humans, but we had a sort of tattoo that went all over our body, and our eyes had white pupils. We could take on any shape or form, and outlive any race we watched over. Our power was great, and respected, not just by the people we watched over, but also amongst ourselves.

We could read minds, create and manipulate mater, see visions of the future in split seconds, and many other things.

That day, the day I turned 26, I finally received my name, and my life changed forever.

I was in the main council chamber. There were seven chairs present, one for each of the Rulers of the ranks, and one for The Ruler, who over saw them.

"Step forward child."

I did as was requested of me by The Ruler.

"This is a great day for you, you will be a Protector of the equestrian realm, and be known as Dexten."

I looked up with my red eyes to behold my Rulers' faces. "Thank you kind ones," I said as I bowed respectfully.

"Dexten, take you weapon, and you place among the ones who need you. And Dexten remember you are there to merely protect them from self-destruction, do not interfere with things that you do not need to medial with," said Ruler Xander of the Protectors.

A Giant Buster sword appeared in front of me, I reached for it. "Good luck Dexten," I could hear my twin sister say behind me as I grab hold of the sword, and warped from the chamber to my realm to protect.

"Princess! The ruins are glowing!" I could hear a guard shouting.

"Get out of there!" another voice shouted, as the ground shook.

I got ahold of myself I realized that I was lying on the ground exhausted. Warping to a destroyed and ruined temple takes a lot more energy than I thought. I got up and the temple shook, it was about to collapse the rest of the way. I grabbed my sword and put it on my back and ran out of the ruins in a blink of an eye.

Near the now destroyed entrance there were many ponies panting from running and getting clear of the now collapsed ruins. "Who and, what the hell are you?" I looked to my right to see a white pony with wings and a horn.

She gazed into my eyes and I did the same, and I quickly read her mind and learned all that she knew. I hated gazing into minds, it felt intrusive, and finding thing that were never supposed to be found can be sickening. "My name is Dexten Princess. I am only here to protect and serve the many lives in this place." I bowed down to her, made my sword disappear, and shifted my form to a pony to "blend" in more with what would now be the rest of my life.

"Okay, so what are you?" Princess Celestia asked again.

I ignored her question and turned around and faced the ruined temple. I allowed my power to serge through me and into the ground and go into the broken temple. The rubble began to glow and go back together in its true form. Everypony around watched as the temple pieced itself back together.

"You will find answers your answers in there Princess, but for now I must bid you farewell." I said while everypony was still in shock, and I ran off with great speed heading to the nearest town.

When I came to a road I slowed down to a regular pony speed, so I would not draw too much attention.

I walked for a few hours knowing I would be coming upon Ponyville within a few more miles.

Vision:"Watch out!" a Pegasus cried, and nearly crashing into me, but hitting a rock that was next to me.
