MLP: Seeds of the Past
Chapter 1 - Prologue
Author's Note: "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" belongs to DHX Media and Hasbro.
"Mom… Dad… I'm coming!" cried Casey, who was running as fast as he possibly could back to his house. "Please be-"
"Aaaaaggghhh!"
Suddenly, he stopped moving after hearing a familiar pony's scream, and turned his attention to the deadly battle that was occuring several miles away from him.
Princess Twilight!
He watched with fear as the giant and powerful centaur charge straight through a mountain, but then, it turned into complete shock when he saw the young alicorn quickly teleport above Tirek so that she could deliver what appeared to be a very powerful energy blast.
Oh my gosh… she's amazing, thought Casey, who had developed a crush on the princess ever since he'd first laid eyes on her.
Unfortunately, his fear returned after watching Tirek toss the piece of the ground, and it was because that piece was heading in the same direction as-
"Mom! Dad!"
So, Casey continued to run, and he went faster after seeing the piece split into two seperate pieces once it hit the ground. "No… please, no!"
While one half went off in another direction, Casey and the other half went down the other one, but the piece was a lot faster than him.
"Please, don't go… this can't be happening…"
To make matters worse, by the time he had finally reached his home, it was already too late.
"No… Mom… Dad… I'm so sorry…"
Little did he know that he wasn't the only pony who though he had lost everything.
[A few years later]
"I was wondering when you'd show up," said Twilight, who was standing on one of her castle's balconies.
As he lowered himself down, Casey rolled his eyes, and he said, "That wasn't exactly fair. You know that I can't teleport."
The young alicorn shrugged her shoulders while Casey just shook his head in disbelief.
"Well, if I remember, you weren't exactly fair in your previous race victory either."
Remembering what she was talking about, Casey had a sheepish expression on his face, and said, "Point taken… congrats on the win."
"Oh, Casey..." laughed Twilight, and the two of them continued their playful conversation, unaware of the fact that they were being watched.
"You just think that life is full of sunshine and rainbows, don't you, Princess?"
Several miles away, standing stop a grassy hill, the cloaked pony who'd just burned the remains of Casey's house to the ground watched as Twilight leaned into her special sompony on her castle balcony.
And this was possible because he was wearing something that looked like the night vision goggles you can put on your head, but they were designed more like binoculars.
"You're about to get a well-deserved reality check, Princess." He said emotionlessly. "You will pay for what you did to me... and I promise, justice WILL be served."
Then, after seeing the two of them go into the castle, he turned his attention over to a cloud-based home that was also in Ponyville.
"And I'll start with her..."
