prologue
NINE YEARS BEFORE LUNA'S RETURN
Welcome to the wonderful world of Equestria, the land of ponies of all kinds such as unicorn, Pegasus, earth pony, and the mighty Alicorn race. The land was ruled by the mighty Alicorn princess Celestia, the goddesses of day. For years they had lived peacefully without any problems in the world, everything was wonderful, but secretly she had recently dealt with a small, secret and very unusual relationship between a mare and a creature like no other.
As they got to know each other, the creature and the mare grew up and lived together as they grew to love each other with all their hearts, finally they were secretly wedded by Celestia herself, due to certain reasons, the creature could not be revealed to others. They lived as husband and wife for years and they couldn't be happier, but as time had passed the younger brother of the creature became resentful due to how they were treated by ponies in the first place.
But little did the ponies know, even Celestia herself did not foreseen, there had been activity of another type had happened and with it came a bundle of joy that warmed their hearts and made them a family, even with more disapproval of the brother. Why has no pony ever known this type of creature before? Because now only three of this special breed of creature currently existed to this day, two distant brothers, one older and married to the love of his life, the child they had given birth to and the younger and more negative brother, at least until one fateful day in a very dark place.
Deep within the very dark place known as the EverFreen forest, a place so dark and evil that only the most dangerous of creatures could survive. Activity slowly started to stir and grow to a bone chilling nightmare as cries and shrill screams sounded out and echoed through the forest as a mare with a dark yellow coat, a gray mane and tail, blue eyes, and a cutie mark of white circles on her flank was running through the forest as she was pursued by a creature that was lurking in the shadows as it stalked.
She was then cornered against a tree as she turned around to see the snarling bipedal beast still cloaked in the shadows of the forest. She shook and quivered with fear as she found herself covered in blood and was being stared down by the vicious beast while she carried a blue blanket bundle in her arms.
"What have you done to him...?! Tim...? NO TIM DON'T...!"The mare yelled out as her screams were then silenced by the loud roar of the beast and gruesome feeding activity.
Suddenly everything went silent and cold as deep into the forest a human man was now panting in great exhaustion and devastation while covered in blood. The man was medium built had messy short black hair, green emerald eyes, light skin, and was only wearing tattered overalls.
He was currently standing over the body of the earth pony mare as she laid dead with her throat completely ripped to pieces as a pool of blood surrounded them. He slowly began to shake and quiver like a child as he looked down and suddenly felt tears stinging his eyes as he felt sick with what he had done. Tears then slowly left his eyes and dropped on the mares face as he fell to his knees and brushed his fingers through her mane.
"Light wave...? No... no... NO...!"The man shouted as tears flowed from his eyes as he looked at his blood covered hands."Why...? LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO...! WHY!"
For several long minutes he cried uncontrollably as he brush the back of his hand on the cheeks of the dead mare, he then looked to see the mare holding something bundled up in a baby blue blanket. He slowly took up the bundle from the mares dead fore arms and held it as he slowly unwrapped the tip of the blanket to reveal a human baby boy with a small patch of blond hair on its head, and baby blue eyes. The baby cooed and gently kicked as it looked at the man with a small chuckle.
The mans heart broke and melted at the same time as he tried to stop his sobs and kissed the baby on the forehead, he then turned back to the mare and kissed her on the forehead as well.
"I'm sorry my love... I... Couldn't stop it, he... made me do it,"The man said as he stood tall with the baby in his left arm."I just... Couldn't control the hunger any more, But I swear to you... I will raise our child, and he will grow to be that beautiful child we always dreamed, and I will teach him love... Just as you had teached me."
With that said the man was about to walk away from his dead love with the baby in his arms when he suddenly felt something cold, hard, and sharp touch his neck. He slowly looked to the corner of his eye and he saw a slightly younger man holding a sword to his throat, he glared with seething hate as the baby began to cry. The young man looked a little like Tim, only his eyes were brown and his hair was a lighter shade of black, he was currently wearing tattered jeans, a small white t shirt and a leather coat.
"I'll be taking that baby now Tim..."The young man sound with a blank tone.
"Why... Why did you make me do it?"Tim asked the young man in a slight growl.
"I'm sorry... Brother... But it had to be done, better for you to end it sooner than later, it would have been much harder later on,"The mysterious young man said as he press the sword against Tim's neck.
"We had a whole family Tony, we could have been something more than monsters!"Tim yelled as he held his baby close to him.
"Ha! Something more...?! Tim... Look at us, we are monsters! Nothing more!"The man known as Tony yelled as he inched closer to his brothers ear."Do you really think that those pieces of meat out there could ever understand us!? They are nothing but food to us!"
"If Light Wave could understand me, and look pass the beast to find the true me... Why not?!"Tim said as he looked to his brother off the corner of his eye.
"Oh Tim... You really have lost it, believing that you could be something more than this!"Tony spat in anger and disgust."And let me guess, you plan on passing that crap down to that little piece of meat in your arms right?"
"Yes... I can tell that this boy will grow to be stronger than both of us, and I hope that he will find love as I have, and nobody is going to stop me from giving him the life he deserves,"Tim explained as the baby continued to cry.
"You fool... He is exactly like us, they will not accept him... Like they did not accept us, now give him here,"Tony demanded.
"What for...?"Tim questioned.
"If what you say is true... He must die! Its bad enough Equestria has two beast pillaging its land, I'm sure it can not stand a third beast, besides... It's bad enough that we had to share food, I don't want there to be a third mouth to feed.
"No... The only way you're taking my child is if you pry him from my cold dead mutilated limbs,"Tim growled in a very inhuman like growl as he slowly put the baby next to his dead mother.
"If that is the case... Then I guess tonight... I lose a nephew and a brother..."Tony said in a similar growl as he then swung the sword as fast as he could to kill his brother.
Suddenly Tim spun around with blinding speed and grabbed the blade with his left bare hand as he growled like a beast. He then looked at his brother to show a change in his eyes, his eyes had went from green to red and orange with wide slitted pupils, he growled as he reared his leg back and roared as he kicked Tony in the gut sending him flying thirty feet before landing in a nearby pond. Still holding the sword, Tim squeezed it and suddenly broke the sword in two, as it fell to the ground, Tim reared back his head roared at the sky in a very inhuman like roar that shook the entire forest as large sharp serrated teeth grew from his mouth. He then got on all fours as he then grew claws on his hands and feet, He then took off towards the pond, running at blinding speeds on all fours as he went after Tony.
Tony on the other hand had just immerged from the pond spitting out water as he then came face to face with three Timber wolves. The Timbure wolfs growled at him, but it only made him angry as his eyes and teeth changed as well, he then roared viciously at the wolves, making them suddenly jump back and run away with their wooden tails between their legs.
Tony slowly rise up from the water and stood up as he also began growing claws, he looked around only to not notice Tim standing right behind him growling. Tony slowly turned his head, then suddenly spun around slashing at Tim, he slashed at Tim with three fast swings of his claws, but Tim proved to be faster and dodged all three. Tony then tried to punch Tim, but Tim gripped Tony's fist and slashed at Tony, cutting two deep wounds across Tony's face and a large slice right across his chest.
Tony slowly turned his head back to Tim and growled as they suddenly locked arms and were wrestling in the water, catching the attention of many Everfree creatures. Ursa's, Timbure wolves, predator plants all gathered around the edge of the pond to watch the brawl, Cragadiles evacuated the large pond to escape the melee, one young Cragadile barley made it out as the monstrous men rolled around in the water.
As the two men struggled and wrestled in the water, Tony had pin Tim in the water and slashed at Tim's face, leaving deep bloody marks in his face. Tim then managed to grab Tony by his arms and tossed him into the air, Tony then came down hard on his back only to be pinned by Tim who began slashing at Tony. He slashed at Tony's chest, ripping off his jacket and shirt, slicing him deep as blood began pouring out of him, Tony swung a couple wild slashes only for Tim to suddenly bite down on Tony's right wrist. His razor sharp teeth tore into flesh as Tony roared in pain and desperately punched at Tim's head to get free.
Finally he managed to get his feet under Tim's belly and managed to hoist Tim into the air, ripping him off his wrist. As Tim came down, Tony rolled out of the way and got to his feet as Tim slammed face first into the water, but he managed to recover and stand back up to face down Tony.
"WHY CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT I SAW BROTHER...?! WE CAN BE MORE THAN JUST ANIMALS!"Tim shouted with a monstrous growl.
"AND WHO WOULD TRULY ACCEPT US TIM...?! NO PONY...! THERE CAN NEVER BE ACCEPTANCE FOR US!"Tony defiantly denied.
"Your wrong...! Light Wave accepted me!"Tim said in a more solemn voice.
"Yes... And look how that turned out! The minute you saw her covered in blood, you showed her our true nature! Face it...! We are monsters, and monsters CAN NEVER BE LOVED!"Tony shouted as he roared, making the woods itself tremble with fear.
"YOU ARE WRONG...!"Tim roared as he attacked again.
Tony then got into a defensive position, but his vision was fading as he looked down to see he was loosing too much blood. He knew that he couldn't last much longer, but he could not lose here, he then turned to the corner of his eyes and saw in the distance, the broken sword that Tim had broken at the start of the fight. Tony then smirked as he was suddenly punched in the jaw by Tim and was sent flying towards the body of the dead Light Wave, he slammed through two trees as he crashed into the ground right next to the mare and the baby, he then turned to see Tim charging right at him.
Tony quickly scrambled for the pointy sharp part of the sword as Tim leaped into the air to finish Tony right on the spot. Tony quickly summoned what strength he had left and finally managed to grab the sharp piece of the sword and plunged it right through Tim's chest. The sword went completely through Tim and appeared out his back as blood suddenly flowed from his chest and mouth, feeling the sharp pain of cold steel.
"Ugh... Why...Tony?"Tim asked as he spit out blood onto Tony's face.
Both brothers looked at each other solemnly as Tony lifted Tim high in the air. Tony then grunted and growled as he threw Tim away from him, laid on his back and breathed heavily as he slowly looked to his brother and saw him coughing up blood while pulling the sword out of his chest. He then suddenly changed back to normal, his claws and teeth retracted while his eyes the went back to being green as he laid there.
"Why...Tony?"Tim asked again with labored breathing.
"To prove that we are monsters... That... There is nothing for us, no love, no friends, just pain, hunger, and destruction,"Tony breathed out with a chuckle.
"Then It seems... That the only one... that is lost... Is you..."Tim breathed out as he suddenly began smiling."You are so conflicted that we are nothing more than monsters, that you have now led yourself... to your destruction... At the hand of the very thing you wanted to destroy."
"What...? What are you talking about?!"Tony spat as he saw Tim gesturing to Tony's right side.
Tony quickly turned to his right and widened his eyes as he saw none other than the baby crawling over to him in nothing but a diaper, it giggle as it crawled to Tony and suddenly showed off rows of small but razor sharp teeth, big red and orange slitted eyes and claws on its hands and feet.
"Oh no...!"Tony said as he panicked and just barely managed to roll onto his belly."No no no! Get away from me!"
He then tried to crawl away from the baby as he snarled at it, but that only encouraged the baby to follow him. Tim saw him trying to escape, and suddenly took the sword that was in his chest and plunged it right into Tony's leg, stopping him from moving.
"AH...! NO!"Tony shouted as he turned to see the baby less than a foot from him."No no no no! STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
The baby just giggled at him as it closed in on Tony's neck and started touching it with its tiny claws. Tony's eyes were wide as the baby giggled and suddenly started sniffing at him, it suddenly growled at him, Tony shook his head, and was sweating bullets as he saw the baby bare it's teeth. Then finally... The baby attacked.
"NOOOOOOOOO! NO PLEASE!"Tony shouted as the baby tore into the flesh of Tony's neck while Tim looked away.
Tony could barely struggle due to his injuries, but squirmed and screamed in pain as he felt the baby tearing his throat out and devouring flesh. He shook violently as the baby fed for the first time, and finally after a solid minute, Tony let out a dieing roar as he then suddenly went limp and died.
The baby slowly released its jaws from his dead uncle, let out a high pitched squealing roar that scared all the spectating creatures of the forest away, and reverted back to its normal self as it crawled away from Tony completely satisfied with what he ate. It then noticed its father laying motionless and slowly crawled towards the man while cooing and giggling at him, but as the baby made it to his father, he grabbed at him and shook him, but he did not stir.
The baby began to whimper and tear up as he shook at the man harder, and thankfully the man turned his head to see the baby whimpering at him. Tim smiled as he slowly lifted up his hand, tousled the baby's small blond hair and chuckled.
"Timmy... I'm sorry things had to turn out like this son..."Tim breathed out as he allowed a tear to escape his eye."No matter what happens son... Daddy loves you... And mommy loves you so much."
The baby cooed at his father as the tears streamed down Tim's face, he then kissed the baby on the head as he began to sob.
"No matter what has happened... No matter what you go through... Never call yourself a monster son... You can be more than that... I just know it...!"Tim said through sobs as he felt himself dieing, he then saw the baby tearing up."Shh... its okay Timmy, please don't cry... Everything... is going to be... alright..."
Suddenly Tim could feel the light fade from his eyes as the last thing he saw was the baby's face. He then felt his arm go limp and the lights fade forever as he died right at his wife and baby's side. The baby then began shake Tim again, but this time... He did not stir ever again, the baby then started cry as he laid there next to his parents as the baby cried itself to sleep.
A few hours later, princess Celestia herself had gone with two guards to check up on the strange couple she had come to like. Upon arriving at the seen she was horrified to find both Tim, Light Wave, and Tony all laying dead in a bloody mess, but she found nothing else. The bodies were given a secret burial and remained only known to the princess and her royal guards, but she never knew of the child that lived, and resides in the Everfree forest to this very day.
