A small gathering of royal ponies stood around a hospital bed, a blue maned Pegasus lay in the bed holding a black unicorn Pegasus with large wings.

The little Princess Cadence giggled "look at those wings, they're bigger than he is" she pointed out to the Princess Celestia and she smiled.

"Yes, indeed they are rather big but that means he'll be a good flyer" she reminded Cadence who nodded.

"Well, he certainly won't be one of noisier children will he?" the mother, Sora asked smiling at her quiet son.

"So what's my baby brother's name gonna be?" she asked eagerly.

"Hm… I suppose Mi amore won't do for a boy" Sora mentioned and she nuzzled him and he giggled.

"What about wings?" Cadence asked.

All of a sudden a guard ran in "Princess Celestia!" he yelled then bowed quickly "what is it?" Celestia asked.

"There's been a break in, they broke into the east wing but didn't take anything, they left this" he handed her a letter which she took and read.

Her eyes went wide and she turned to the guard "secure the doors and gates, be sure that word does not get out about the new Prince" she instructed and he nodded then dashed off.


Blackwing sighed as he walked along the garden in the Castle "Wings" a soft voice called and he turned "Princess" he said and Cadence smiled.

"What's wrong?" she asked, frowning when she saw his face.

"Nothing that a Princess would care about" Blackwing replied staring at the pond at his plain black mane and coat, the only thing that wasn't plain was his stupid big wings and he didn't have a cute cutie mark yet.

"A Princess would care about you, I do and Princess Celestia does" Cadence told the young pony who sighed.

"But there's nothing interesting about me, I've got black fur, black wings, I don't even have a cutie mark, you're a Unicorn Pegasus with a beautiful cutie mark and pretty mane but I've got nothing" he muttered.

"You're kind, brave, smart, and a great flyer, I wouldn't that nothing" she told him.

"I guess so…" he sighed.

"Hey, I know what'll cheer you up, how about we go and get some ice cream?" she asked, now he was smiling "really?" he asked and she brought him along.


Blackwing struggled to yank his wings back from the 4 pegasi on either side of him "yes, ladies and Gentlecolts, at a whopping 8 feet of wingspan, Blackwing is proven to have the biggest wings in all of Equestria. Rumors say he's half dragon" the leader of the bullies, Whiplash called.

The ponies around him laughed and he was utterly humiliated, he could feel feather's being yanked out and they pulled on his wings so hard that they'd sprained them.

"In fact, they're so big that I wouldn't be surprised if the Princess kept in the castle because of his great wings! He'd make a good umbrella in the rain!" Whiplash added and they all laughed.

Blackwing closed his eyes, willing himself to get the strength to fight back because he wanted to run and run forever to never look back.

Blackwing reared up on his hind legs and pushed Whiplash away from him and the 4 let go of his wings and he flew away.

He was breathing hard when landed in the Castle garden and he couldn't calm down, he would not cry, he wouldn't cry in a place like this.

"Blackwing?" a voice asked he looked at where the voice came from; it was Shining armor, the newly married Captain of the royal guard.

Blackwing nodded then started to get up but Shining Armor stopped him "don't get up, you look hurt" he said looking worried.

Blackwing nodded and didn't fold his wing up, they hurt too much for that since Whiplash's gang kept pulling on them and some ripped out feathers.

Shining Armor looked at his wings "I'm going to get Cadence, stay here" he told him and he nodded, in a very short time, Cadence was at his side.

"What on earth happened?" Cadence demanded looking worried and Blackwing felt a magic healing spell encase his large wings.

"Whiplash's gang, they pulled on them, displaying me on the streets like some circus freak" he replied, he couldn't help it, tears escaped his eyes.

Cadence suddenly looked very angry and Shining Armor had to calm her down "I'm going to talk to Princess Celestia" she said calmly.

Blackwing stood up and tucked his wings in despite the pain "why?" he asked.

"Because I want those boys arrested" she growled then trotted off and Blackwing walked slowly.

"Like they'll arrest them for being bullies" Blackwing muttered then sighed walking into the castle to his room to rest, Shining Armor accompanied him until his room.

After a nice rest, Blackwing was woken by a knock and Princess Celestia came in looking worried "feeling better?" she asked.

"A little" Blackwing replied.

She nodded "I see, I'm sorry that happened Blackwing, I think you need to be somewhere else now" she told him.

"Somewhere else?" he asked confused.

"Well, when Cadence told me how much trouble you've been having with the ponies here I thought that maybe going to a different town may help. I am planning to send you to Ponyville, it's the nicest town and the ponies are always very kind there" she explained.

"Ponyville?" he asked her.

She smiled "yes, I've arranged for you to live in a little cottage near the Everfree forest, is that ok?" she asked.

He nodded "yes, so why are you going to so much trouble?" I inquired.

"Because you're very important to me and to Cadence and many others that you may not even realize care" she explained.

"Thank you, Princess" Blackwing told her and she smiled then left the room and afterwards Cadence and Shining Armor came in, Cadence looked a lot better.

"I'm sorry I lost of my anger, I don't usually do that" Cadence apologized.

"It's okay" Blackwing replied smiling that she'd lose her temper over someone like him.

"So, I heard your moving to Ponyville, you'll like my sister" Shining Armor told her and he nodded.

"Your sister?" he asked.

"Yes, her name's Twilight Sparkle" he informed him.

The rest of time in Canterlot, Blackwing was followed by one of the guard's as Princess Celestia really did seem worried about him.

He had stayed in the castle most of the time to pack his things and Cadence had insisted on helping "you know I'm positive you'll like Twilight and her friends, I've met them and they're very kind" she told him speaking the kind voice she used like he was her little brother.

"Cadence" Blackwing spoke up.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Well, I'm nervous about them finding out about my oversize wings, what if the same thing that happens here; happens in Ponyville?" he asked.

Cadence smiled confidently "that won't happen, I'm sure of it" she assured and it gave him some relief then Cadence hugged him as he was going to leave early the next morning.

"Good luck in Ponyville, write me a lot, okay?" she asked, he nodded then she left and he went to sleep.


"It's been years, Castle Wing, how could we not have found him yet?" Princess Celestia's worried voice asked a black pony with a red mane with large wings.

"He has stolen her powers, trapped her being and stolen her scythe. He has become death herself and there is one pony who can stop him as said in the prophesy" the Pegasus raspy voice explained.

"A Prince born of flyers and of magic will reign.

His Sun will have hidden him from the land but out of vain.

His life will hold pain dear and close.

Until he finds the one to sooth his woes.

On the day when the sun and the moon touch then death will rein yet again.

The one is snatched away, taken, to leave the Prince to find its den.

The Prince's rein is to begin but in the end Death always wins."
