Ok so hey guys, it's me.
I know what you're thinkin', "Hey! Y u no update your other stories?"
Well, because I have a habit of running my stories into the ground by not thinking of the storyline AT ALL beforehand.
Back then, I was all like, "Make the story up as I go along and it will be fine :DD", but nope. I wasn't that lucky :l
But guys! Trust me on this one xD
Seriously, me and some others have been talking about this ALL summer!
I have this plotted SOOO far ahead it's no joke!
Anyway, moving on to the more serious part of this AN, This story, Melancholy, was initially being done for fun. But I was able to shape the storyline to be more meaningful.
What I was aiming for in this is to be like an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic but with many elements of realism added in.
It's much darker than an episode should be, but valuable lessons are thought about friendship none the less.
The opening passage was written when I was feeling a bit dark for a better effect.
I hope you enjoy this as much as me and my friends have had fun making it up.
Melancholy
Chapter 1
Kahl was an earth pony.
Just like everypony else.
His coat, a slightly dull shade of blue. His mane, a solid jet black.
His eyes were a vivid shade of emerald green.
He lay on the hill looking at the sky as the stars began to appear across what was now becoming Princess Luna's sky.
His mind was filled with many things. Not one of them would be considered good.
The other colts made fun of him, the mares would pay no attention to him other than giggling behind his back.
He had been living in the orphanage in Ponyville for 10 years now. And through those years his flank remained bare of any sign of talent.
The teachers at the orphanage were bitter and strict. They would not be the kind to nourish ability when noticed.
But Kahl wasn't concerned about that as much as other ponies were at his age.
He was 16, but couldn't find what he was good at. He had all but given up.
As far as he was concerned, he was a talentless piece of crap, one who would never find a reason to belong.
He took a deep breath as the sky had completed its transformation from light to dark, he stood up and began moving forward.
He came to the edge of the cliff.
Ghastly Gorge, with the way things were now, all he could see was darkness below.
"This is it," he thought to himself, "I'm sick and tired of everyone pushing me around!"
He closed his eyes as he stood there, letting the cool breeze glide smoothly over him.
"It's not like I'm leaving anything behind…It's not like I'll be missed…there isn't room in Equestria for ponies like me. I have nothing. I am nothing. Not many ponies talk to me, but when they do it's some retarded insult about me or my Dad…."
He let out a heavy sigh and looked down into the abyss.
"They would all be better off without me….I'm just in the way…"
He took a step forward, off the cliff.
"I never was too fond of this place anyway, and I don't think it was ever fond of me either."
Thwack,
Thump,
Snap,
Thud!
"I can't help it if I suck at everything…"
Ok so here I am back again.
Yea, it was pretty sad, and may have been somewhat confusing, I know, but all will be explained!
And I'm sorry if this has offended you in anyway.
I know this isn't funny, this part of it isn't intended to be!
But trust me, things lighten up a whole lot :DD
And also, if you didn't get it, this first chapter underlines bullying and how shitty it is :l
It's not big to make others feel small guys.
If you intentionally hurt people emotionally or physically then shame on you :l
It's just really not an ok thing to do.
Everyone is different, if you can't accept that then at least tolerate it!
Thanks for reading this incredibly short first chapter x-x
I WILL make the second longer! So don't you worry!
See ya lads!
Happy Trails~
