Author's notes: Hi, my name is FireWing Pegasus, but you can call me Hashira, because she is an OC based off of me, anyway I hope you enjoy my first story on FanFiction, and also, I own nothing but Hashira. There will be Blindshipping, Bronzeshipping, Tendershipping, Puppyshipping and this story is kind of my own twist to 'How did it come to this?' by Magi Magi Magician Gal, I am just borrowing the plot so please give her the credit. Please enjoy.
Hi. My name is Hashira. I am not normal. I was born and raised in what is now called Ancient Egypt. I lived a simple first few years of my life. How am I not normal, you ask? It's because I'm not exactly human. My father is a shadow creature (a creature born from the shadows) called FireWing Pegasus. My mother is a beautiful, red-colored, mare, named Cynthias. When I was born, I was a strange colored filly. I am pure black except for my mane and tail which are red like my mom and a yellow almost gold color patch on my forehead in the shape of the Eye of Horus, I guess some people would even say I was cute.
Since my father was a creature of the shadows, and due to the gods themselves, I wound up with a few abilities. I can use shadow magic, to defend myself and fight. The eye on my forehead can see only what is in one's heart. My magic also allows me to transform into two things, I can gain a form similar to my father, only with some different coloring, like my mane and tail gain the colors of fire and the tips catch fire, also it causes me to sprout a horn from the center of the eye on my forehead made completely made of pure gold.
I can also transform into a human girl, when I transformed into a human for the first time, I found that I was wearing a choker made of pure gold and a symbol of the Eye of Horus with wings, I have learned that the choker can't be taken off, not even the gods themselves can take it off. I guess to a human, I would look quite beautiful in my human form. My eyes are the color of ruby gemstones. I have flame colored hair that is spiked and falls down to just below the shoulders with a cute little bang that covers only my left eye. I wear a simple red skirt that falls just to my knees, a red sash with gold trimming around my waist, a simple black tunic with red and gold trimming covering my upper body, and a crimson cape with gold trimming, along with some black sandals with gold trimming. I am also shorter than a normal human my age.
My father has always told me to believe in my strength and protect the Pharaoh and his family one day, and I always say that will try, but never really understood what he meant. Whenever he could, he would teach me how to control my powers and how to fight. I also became friends with many shadow creatures. I also learned that every time a half shadow creature is born, another of the opposite gender is born and destined to be it's soul mate, but I have no clue as to who my soul mate is or where he is, all I know is that I will know him when I see him. Anyway, this is my story.
One day, I was 15 years old and still a filly for I age as slow as a human. I was in my horse form grazing with my mom, asking if one day I would realize my destiny. "Hey mom." I ask neighing. "Is it true what dad said, that one day I will realize my destiny?" "I don't know, honey." My mom neighs back. "If the gods will it, it will come to you."
Just then, our acute hearing pick up the sound of a royal procession coming here to our home, a little place a few miles into the desert from the city of Khemet and right by and oasis, where our kind owner makes a living teaching young humans how to ride horses and sells horses to the palace and other people. 'What in the name of Ra is going on?' I think. 'Our owner already sold some horses to the Pharaoh, this year. Why would there be a royal procession coming here?'
When the royal procession arrives, I look at it curiously and see a tall man with gray hair and eyes, a royal purple robe covered his white tunic, a white head cover with a cobra covering the brow of his head, signifying him as the Pharaoh, climb down and ask some servants to find our owner. He comes out looking a little nervous and I can't blame him. My interest is skyrockets when I hear the Pharaoh ask, "I have heard rumors that a rare and legendary half shadow creature lives here, may I see it?"
'Why would the Pharaoh want to see me, and for that matter how does he know about me?' I think to myself as my owner nods and calls me and my mother over. My mom tells me to follow her and don't look directly at the him as we walk on over to the Pharaoh.
He then says, "You may look at me and please show me what your human form looks like, young one." I nod and transform before I look up at him. He then asks, "The rumors are true, you are quite beautiful. Do you have a name?" "Yes. My name is Hashira. I am the daughter of Cynthias, and my father is a FireWing Pegasus. I am 15 human years old for I age the same way as a human." For some reason, me talking surprises him, but he recovers and says, "I didn't know you can talk." "I can talk, my magic allows me to speak the human language as well as speak the language of horses, and when I'm in horse and shadow creature form, I can talk to humans telepathically. My father told me that it is my duty to protect you and your family, my Pharaoh." "Please, you may call me by name, Aknamkanon, when we are alone, all other times you have to call me by title, but until you get comfortable, you may call me by title if you wish." "Okay, my king." I reply.
The Pharaoh then says, "Now to get to the point, my son, the prince, is nearing his 17th birthday and I was hoping to get you as his early birthday present. You can be his pet/bodyguard and friend, he is having major trouble with all the women that want to get in bed with him. Plus, when he gets older, he can ride you into battle and use you in our shadow duels. So would you be willing to come to the palace and take on this task?"
I look at my mother, asking for permission and then say, "I don't know, I should probably ask my father for permission." I focus my energy and a bright light appears above me and floats to the ground. When the light fades a black stallion with flames for a mane, tail, and wings appears before us, my father. I ask, "Father, would you allow it if I go to the palace to work for the prince?" My father neighs and I say to the Pharaoh, "My king, my father says that he will allow me to go as long as no harm befalls me. So yes, I would be honored to serve you and the prince."
The Pharaoh puts on a smile and then pays our owner 1,000 gold coins to help our home. I say goodbye to my mother, and then to my father as he goes back to where good shadow creatures live, the Domain of the Beasts. I follow the Pharaoh to his carriage and look back at my home for the last time before climbing up and looking towards the palace and my new future.
Author's notes: So you have gotten a little bit of insight into Hashira, I hope you all like that her personality will be based off of me a little. In a later chapter, you will get a little more insight. Please review.
