Wings of Steel 2: prologue

Greetings,

Some of you may know me, some of you may not, but for those who know who I am, then you remember the things I did to keep this kingdom safe, it cost me many things, but I will not forget those who have helped me along the way, but perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself, let me start at the beginning.

It all started three years ago, when a fire killed my beloved wife and daughter, and took away my ability to fly, that day changed my life forever.

So I spent the next two years of my life hunting down those responsible, but with little success, being weary from traveling so long, I too began to lose hope of ever finding them, until one day, fate played a different card.

After saving her life, I befriended a beautiful young mare and her friends; her name was Twilight Sparkle, a young unicorn, gifted with incredible magical talent.

Then fate, held another trick for me, only a few days after I met her, I encountered my oldest friend, Haze, a pony I had known from my days in Flight school.

But the happy reunion was short lived, when I learned the truth about my supposed best friend, I found out that he was the one who ordered the fire that killed my family, to say I was horrified would be an understatement, but after barely escaping him, we journey to the capitol city of Canterlot, to warn the Princesses of the coming danger.

But we quickly learned that Haze was one step ahead of us, when we learned that the soldiers he had come to control over, had occupied the peaceful town of PonyVille, and threatened the lives of all who lived there.

Deciding to act, we lead a small team of soldiers in order to free the captives, while I confronted Haze himself.

In our final battle, Haze was killed, and I was wounded, I was forced to make difficult choices.

Twilight and her friends probably think I'm dead, but the truth is far more complicated than that.

My name is Steele, and this is my story.
