A Forgotten Memory
There once was a time when a young boy could've never been happy. He had always seen the bad in life, never found anything good. Then, one day, He was magically teleported to another world. There, he made friends, learned the true meaning of life, and met the love of his life. He decided. this world was better. There was no war, no racisim, no sexism, no hate. This same boy dedicated his life to the rulers of this world, to which he lost his life.
This is not that story. This is a story about pain, suffering, and death. Well, It was. It slowly got better for the boy until he had died. This boys name... was Ventus Snow Lionheart. Ventus ("Ven" for short) had cut himself whenever he had been sad or angry. Ven had gone to his parents (Which were later revealed to have not been his real parents), who were abusive, but they didnt care. In the Equestria, he had met the love of his life, a mare names Rainbow Dash. They had only met each other in about a month and only spent one night together (If you catch my drift), but they were sure that they loved each other.
At the royal wedding between Twilight's brother. Shining Armor, and Princess Celestia's Niece, Cadence, A group known as the changlings had attacked the wedding. The queen had shapeshifted as Cadence, and kept Twilight and Cadence down under the castle. Once they found out, Ventus had fought against the changling, but was defeated.
He awoke to his friends asking if he was okay. He turned over and checked his wound, to which he had been stabbed in the shoulder. He had looked over to see that Princess Celestia was in the midst of danger. Risking his life, he had jumped in front of danger, getting stabbed. At this point in time, Discord, who had been in Ven's body, had been killed. It was then revealed that the legend of the 7th element was true. Ventus had become the element of fortitude, or sacrificing everything for someone else.
A few minutes later, he was killed, his final words to the mane 6. He disappeared into dust, and his remains were put under a statue of him in ponyville. AJ reported to the Ponytimes that Ventus was a great person, but he seemed to have a dark part about him. But he always overcame it. Family was a touchy subject though.
But little did anyone know, Ventus had destroyed his Evil part, who he had dubbed "Dark Ventus." The last place he was at, was what was presumed his mind or heart.
that was 4 years ago (If you want more detail, read "With friends like these". If you already did, pass Go and collect $200)
This is now.
*Ventus*
I had been meditating for 69 hours now. There was no point in even trying to get out. Every once in a while, I would move. The reason for even moving was to just do something. I don't need to do anything. I didn't need to eat. I didn't need to drink. I didn't even need to breath. It sucks being human... I can't remember how I used to fly as a...Pegasus I believe. Who was that one person...mare...? She was...My...hm... What was she again? I could feel the sand trying to enter my eyes. Even if I did open them, there would be no pain. The desert wasn't hell. It was worse. It was a worse form of purgatory. I feel...like I can't be at peace. The longer I'm here, the more I forget. I can't remember how to read... I-
My eyes flew open. "RAINBOW DASH!" I yelled. That was her name! "How could I have forgotten... I need to get out of her. I...Promised her I would return... Wait, no I didnt!" I got up from my cross-legged sitting position, and stretched. "GET ME OUT OF HERE!" I yelled to the wind, knowing there would be no response. "Please..." I sank to my knees "Please... I wan't to see her again..." No one still responded. "Poluchite menya iz zdesʹ! (GET ME OUT OF HERE NOW!)" I banged my fists to the ground. Suddenly, the world around me started to shake.
Ventus...
"Who's there? How come I can hear you in my head?"
I can let you go. You haven't left in a long time. That means something's keeping you from leaving. You have a strong will. That means you will not take no for an answer.
"What the FUCK are you talking about?"
Look, Would you like to leave or not? I can take you back to equestria, where you will be able to live again.
"Alright, what's the catch? I've seen this in movies, as soon as I stay for a while, you'll come back and tell me I have to go back to being dead."
No catch. I will be able to check up on you every once in a while, But that's it.
"Alright then. Can I go now Mr...?"
I have no name. Just call me 'The Voice'
"Cheesy."
Shut up.
With that, a Blinding light shone across the desert. "What the-?" I felt sharp pains all over my body. "GAHH!" I screamed in pain. I closed my eyes. My eyes and feet started to curl up, my back felt arched, my face felt bigger, and my ears grew. It felt like an eternity, but it was really only 27 seconds. I hit the floor. I felt like I was blacking out. I couldnt talk. Oh god...Oh god... I opened my mouth, and drew in air. I instantly felt better. "I forgot, I forgot I needed *Huff* to breathe. Man, I was gone for a long time. What's the date?" I got up. and stretched, and felt something. I turned my head to see wings-My wings. I also looked taller. How Old am I? Damn, my hair is down to my chest. OH GOD, I LOOK LIKE A HIPPIE! "I really need a haircut."
Stretching, I stretched my wings and took to the skies. "Glad I haven't forgotten how to fly." I smirked. At this point in time, I realized that I wasn't in ponyville. I was still in some desert. "DAMNIT VOICE!" I yelled. But I saw that their were mountains off in the distance. "Huh. Mountains..." I looked behind me, and saw more desert. "Guess that tells me where I'm going." And with that, I took off towards the mountains.
"I heard the berries were around here!" Applebloom shouted to the other Cutie Mark Crusaders,But they were no longer blank flanks. Appleblooms Cutie mark was an Apple (as was the entire family), but behind it were a wrench, and a hammer crossed. She had found it one day when she was out with applejack, and the wagon broke. Applebloom offered to fix it, and she did with flawless effort.
Scootaloo had gotten hers one day during a play she forced to go in. All the parts were filled except for the background dancer, so she picked that and on the day, during the play, WHAM! It appeared. Scootaloo was so focused on dancing, she didn't even notice it until an hour after the play, when a colt pointed it out to her. She had never been so happy. Her cutie mark is of a pony, moving around with lines and music in the form of dancing.
Sweetie belle was the last of the the CMC to get her cutie mark. She had gotten it one day by pinkies randomness. She said the baby cakes were not sleeping, and that they were tired of her lullabyes. So she headed over to see what she could do to help, and when they wouldnt listen to reason, she sang them a song from her childhood. And as she was leaving, Pinkie Pie told her she had gotten her cutie mark. It was (Obviously) Musical notes. She ran all the way home to tell her big sister.
They kept the name Cutie Mark Crusader. Mostly just because it stuck, and that was their childhood right there. They had all gotten their Cutie marks within a week of each other. That was 3 years ago. Right now, they were going to make a blueberry pie for , Whom they still loved all the time. Scootaloo, Who could also fly now (Thanks to fluttershy(RD pretty much never left the house anymore)), flew over to where Applebloom was, followed by Sweetie belle, Who could had learned something new as well (Magic from Rarity and Twilight), moved the brush with her magic,and walked over to where applebloom was. The brush left a faint pink glow. Applebloom led the group closer into the forest, and near a couple of bushes. "Alright, everyone got their saddlebags?" Applebloom asked.
"Yep."
"Sure do."
"Alright, lets get to picking."
They all moved into different spots, opened the flaps and started to pluck berries (Except Sweetie, who used her magic.) A couple minutes in, Sweetie belle started Humming something. "Oh for Celestia's sake, just go ahead and sing it. We know you like to. After all, It's your Cutie mark." Scootaloo smiled. Sweetie belle smiled, and started singing with her heavenly voice. (I'm going to use this song again, so yeah. Called 'Headphones on your heart')
"Say it with me loud and clear
I will love again.
Yes I know it hurts my dear
I know where you've been."
Applebloom smiled as she picked more berries. She has a great voice. Everyone picked more berries while Sweetie belle sang.
"But please please please
I'm on my knees
Don't give up on love
Just take some time and hit rewind
Make this song play
On and on and on and-"
Sweetie belle stopped and screamed. "WHAT, WHAT HAPPENED?" Scootaloo dropped her berries on the floor and rushed over. "Oh Celestia..." Sweetie belle finally managed. Applebloor rushed over and checked what they were looking at. "Is he..." Sweetie belle asked.
On the ground, half in the bushes, was a pony. Only his legs were visible. He had a black coat and a white mane and tail. He had no cutie mark on his flank. "Is he dead?" Applebloom finally asked. Scootaloo rushed over there and pulled him out of the bush. "SCOOTALOO!" Sweetie belle yelled. "He's fine, look." Sure enough, His chest was slowly moving up and down. "Look! He's an alicorn!" Sweetie Belle said. Sure enough, he had wings and a unicorn horn. "Have there ever been any other Alicorns in- Y'know well talk about it later. Well we can't just leave him here." Applebloom stated. They nodded. Slowly, all of them got the same idea, and picked him up, spreading him all over there backs. "Alright, where to?" Sweetie asked. They pondered this question, until Scootaloo answered. "Well, he doesn't look physically harmed, so lets take him over to Twilight's house. I'm sure she can help." They all agreed, and began walking.
Thank you for reading. I hope to update this more. Do you guys think I should make a Facebook page for this? Oh, and I got a Steam account. Its Ventus Snow Lionheart(It's the one with the picture of Garrus). Add me (I have no friends. *Forever Alone*) Also, I wish I could sing like ventus. My voice is weird. I can sing with my normal voice, and It will switch over to my higher pitched voice. Also, headphones on your heart is one of my favorite songs ever, so I will play it again (More like post the lyrics) It's nice.
Thanks again guys. So here comes my life (If you dont care, I respect that, Thanks anyway) So I got a new desktop, It's easier, and Its more helpful. I got my Drivers Permit, so yeah, I can drive. Go me =) My school is almost over, and I just took Staar testing. Sometimes, I feel like I wont ever find love...I guess thats why i like headphones on your heart. I was forced to move, and I had the best Girlfriend ever. No one here is like that.
Okay, enough about Love. (But one thing, If we could have anime chicks, there would be no need for real girls (Inside joke with a friend) ) Alright so let me tell you guys something.
Comfort zone
Fine-Normal-Sweating-Too much-HOLY SHIT X - This is where I'm at. I dont like the fact that the CMC has cutie marks. Well we must move on.
I should go to sleep now, I havent had any sleep in FOREVER.
