3 … 2 … 1 … ACTION!
Chapter 1: Foal's Play
He was born with a gifted heart but the world itself was filled with madness. He was in the age of 7 years old. The little unicorn had been gone through so much cruelty ever since he was given birth to a happy family but the memories inside him was tightly seal with something more powerful than any pony could possess. But that didn't end his joyful heart by the world's wrath.
[Zeal's POV]
I saw a bright light from my eyelids in my sleep. After waking up, I found myself sleeping in an alley near the street. Slowly getting up from the side a large green trash can I can feel newspapers sliding down my fur. In front of me I saw an old earth pony was leaning on the brick wall while sleeping. I guess he's been taking care of me while I was sleeping. Someday I want to repay him.
Then I slowly sneak my way through the alleyway without making a sound. After a few minutes of walking away from the alleyway and as soon as I wandered around, reading some daily newspaper at the bookstore. I found out the name of the town and it's called Tall Tale. So far all the pony folks I met were all cranky and mean to me but not these two Pegasus ponies I yet meet. They're delivering newspapers this early morning. Then came to a stop by the time they saw me watching them and gets closer to my attention.
I met a male Pegasus first and he was a little taller than me but around the same age; he had a sky blue mane and tail, bluish-grey coat and dark marine eyes as he looks like a very tough colt. Despite his looks, he was flying with his little sister; she had a light pink mane and tail, light reddish-grey coat and red-rose eyes. They don't look like they're having trouble delivering in the streets and it looks like they know this place better than I do because I don't even know how I got here. The brother politely asked me.
As I told everything I knew from earlier today until now. It's hard to imagine how they're going through to believe me or not. Then the old pony from the alley came to us and he said that I wasn't even try to lie. He saw me got teleported near him last night while I was still unconscious. "Now you believe me? Because other ponies in this town, doesn't believe a word I said that I don't remember anything" I tried to speak as real as possible.
"So what you're saying is the truth. Then let me ask you something. Do you know who, what or where did you come from?" The older Pegasus started to show some believing. I was desperately thinking who I was then it came to me. Zeal, Zeal was the first name and Amethyst was the last. "Okay. I can barely remember who I am and my name is Zeal Amethyst and I'm a unicorn" they made an obvious look on their face, the fact that they could see my horn sticking out of my head.
"But that's just it and nothing more. I swear on Celestia's crown that I don't know where I came from" I really need somepony to believe in me. "So Blinkie. Would the two of you kindly help this here young pony? I'm just too old for this kind of stuff" said the old pony to them and the blue Pegasus told him this "Sure thing Mr. Walnut. We can't leave a pony like him alone and why not? It'll be fun" He smiled at Mr. Walnut after he thanks Blikie and went back to the alley.
Blinkie faced to his sister. "Winkie you wouldn't mind bringing him back to the clubhouse and told him to stay until we finish our morning deliveries". His sister looks like she's about to burst but brought a sigh instead. "Okay brother. You coming Zeal?" she stopped flying halfway to the park. "I… uh... Okay." I was nervous and afraid a little while she was silently guiding me to this clubhouse.
We arrived at a big tree in a park. The clubhouse they were talking about was hiding inside the bushy branches. A small lift was lower down from the bottom of the bush for me to get on it. It was spacious in here. There's two sealed window, a small table and a light bulb hanging at the centre of the room. Winkie told me to wait here after they finish they're job. It took them a half hour to finish their work.
After some interrogations and discussing later, and not too long ago we become friends as the Pegasus siblings took him in as their brother, well, somewhere in the middle of those two siblings because I could only remember my name but not my age. The brother could only think that I was younger than him but older than his sister so I was around 7-10 years old.
The twins told me how they end up living in this clubhouse. Before they got here, they lived in a normal house together with their parents but their family was not very well-known to this town. One year later their house was burnt down due to a mere accident. The twin somehow manages to survive in the fire. But the twins couldn't stop thinking that somepony did it.
About a month ago, they both found an abandoned clubhouse in a park. Blinkie Swirlwind and Winkie Swirlwind were the names of the two siblings. Living happily together, after day and night but no one seems to bother taking them into custody at least one day they're lives changed after I came to them. The three us played and worked all day and night to kill time as we were trying to fix my amnesia problem. But nothing was working in every way.
The siblings asked a particular question about my Cutie Mark. I don't have one yet like the siblings do. They got their Cutie Mark after they help many ponies around as they could in Tall Tale; both of them have the same heart-shaped clouds. They would gladly help any pony as they fly around the town.
Everyday, we all had a great time playing together, having launch and helping other ponies. Blinkie even help the Old cranky bakery mare so he can have bits as a return for helping her deliveries. Not to mention she's always cranky to everypony but somehow I could tell that she had a good heart from the inside. So everything went perfectly fine.
Until that night, we all slept in early from all the day's hard work. But something was out of the ordinary happened at that night. A dim light coming from the outside of the clubhouse's window and it was enough to break my sleep. "Blinkie…Blinkie! Wake Up!" I desperately waking up Blinkie whiles he was half asleep. "Huh? Wha-? Zeal? I thought we'd agreed working tomorrow morning?" Blinkie was half awake as he rubs his eyes. "No not that, I mean there's something coming right at us, Look!" I was holding his face with my left hoof as I point my right to the window.
It only took him a few seconds to see it clearly because he had very sharp eyes for a Pegasus. "Oh?" he yawns a little "That's just an ice…wait… an ice?" Blinkie was stunned after seeing it clearly as possible. It was coming right for us. Blinkie tries to wake his sleepy sister. But as soon as she was all awake, she realized it too what was going on in the sky.
Every seconds passed, the ice grew bigger and closer. We all panicked and tried to run out of the clubhouse. But it was too late, the massive ice made a direct hit from the roof. And simultaneously my horn starts to glow and work its magic. My eyes were glowing in light-magenta. In split second, my magic creates a large solid-magic above us. Closely resembles a hoof because we could see gears and bolts joining together from metal parts, all made by my magic into a gigantic hoof.
The robotic hoof then clashes with the massive chunk of ice which creates a large crashing sound upon impact. What I didn't realize, I was singing a lullaby and I could feel the hoof's strength was coming from my singing. It pierced thought the ice, scattering it to pieces. Now the clubhouse was falling apart from the impact. Making us fall straight to the ground. But the giant hoof made a quick turn, catching us from the side as it flew below before the scattered ice could squash us like bugs.
[Captain POV]
Then a few minutes after hearing that crash, my stallions arrived at the incident. All they could find was some busted woods and shattered pieces of ice lying near a fallen tree. Then, I came after their arrived. I was born with a fierce look and it was making my stalls gets serious and scared. None of them were brave enough to put up a fight with my glare except for one.
"What's the situation here?" I pointed out one of my stallions; the newbie stepped forward and answered bravely. "Sir, it seems that there has been a fallen mass of ice around this area" As the young blue Pegasus investigates the broken tree which where a clubhouse were suppose to be. "But the ice itself was somehow annihilated by something else, something more powerful than the ice", looking at his surroundings, chunks of ice were shattered all over the place.
"Good work Blast" I was amazed by his action as he salutes to me. "Yes Sir" Blast return their captain's appreciation. Blast is a newly graduated soldier from training camp he finished a month ago. He was the only Pegasus who can bear my looks. He doesn't look at other ponies differently and apparently he looks other ponies more equally, no matter how they look or act, he respects a pony for being hard-worker and has a great heart.
I took my time to think and observe the ice to where it's was fallen. Looking out at the mountains and I came to a conclusion. "These must been the works of those snow giants, but why would they do such a thing" I said it as my stallions made blank expressions. "Unless somepony must be an idiot or crazy enough to hike those mountains at this hour" there a little annoyed and anger tone as said to them which made them shivers in fear.
I called out Gash, my dragon partner with a whistle. "Gash, write down what am I going to say and send it to HQ. Got it?" Gash ready his quill to write on a piece of scroll. "I need a few stallions to investigate the Smokey Mountains if there's any trouble-making pony, anything or even a clue by tomorrow morning. Also, send a dragon or two for any report and bring some emergency packs too. From your Captain; Starlight Grumps". The white dragon takes a note on every word the captain spoke and burns the scroll with blue flames. Ashes from the scroll were then sent to HQ.
And … CUT!
