Main Character: Soarin & Braeburn (M/M)
One-shot
The cyan pegasus looked ahead of him as he tended to look at his house for the last time. The pegasus had nothing with him but the Wonderbolt attire on his back, a stopwatch, and finally a picture of him, an amber colored mare, and his deceased brother, a white pegasus with a mane that was pure black and had a red streak going through it. One other thing he carried was a lighter, but he tend to leave that behind, but first...he lit the lighter and threw it in the house. All the memories that had build up inside that house was now burning up into a crisp.
"This is what you wanted, right brother? For me never to return home and live in misery?" He looked up into the sky, wishing that some kind of miracle can happen for his bother could come back. A tear left his eye and fell down on his cheek. Soon making its way to his chin and down to the floor. He was devastated, his mother died, his brother was murdered, his father was missing and his best friend left when his brother died.
The fire burned in front of the blue pegasus as he sat on his haunches and watched. In time of sadness he would always turned to his brother to look for help. Sure he could've went to everyone else but they didn't help him like his brother did. You can forget about his father, he didn't care for him in the least. For his mother, it was different, their relationship had gone from good, to bad terms every once in a while, and unfortunately, the time when she died, he and his mother was on bad terms, very bad terms.
He looked at his picture. Since the real thing wasn't here, he started talking to the image of his brother. "I wish you were here, You use to always tell me to leave the house, and never look back. I remember it so clearly, I always wanted to be a Wonderbolt when I was younger, and even though you were only a year older than me, you were always the wiser out of us. You told me to follow my dreams and work hard. I'll never forget the day when I got in trouble with father and you stood up for me, knowing that I was the one who broke the head board to the bed." The white pegasus continued for a little while longer, remembering almost everything eventful that happened to him and his brother in his life.
"I guess, this is the only thing that's holding me back." The stallion took one more inspiring look at the picture then throwing it in the fire. The image burned, slowly turning the picture into a black crumbled up piece of nothingness that had no more meaning to it. Watching the last thing burning, he stood up on his hooves and turned around facing the opposite way from the burning house. "Farewell Zero..." He walked off, not even daring to look back at that house.
"Us Saints are always looking for new things; new friends, new adventure, New HOPE...I'm Soarin Saint, co-captain of the Wonderbolts. Even when life puts me down, I remember that fateful day. I burned my house for a reason, to never return, and to always keep going to find that new hope, that Zero was trying to keep alive. I'm not going to let his dream die. He dreamed of a world full of happiness, even though Equestria hadn't fall under any disastrous situations...yet, he still felt like Equestria still needed a change, but not one of those extreme measures change, just small ones that you would never miss if they were changed. Ponies from all over who knew Zero was a major impact on him, either it was good or bad. Some became really good friends, for example, what every pony calls them, The Mane 6. Then theirs others like Prince Blueblood, who always bash Zero when we're invited to the Grand Galloping Gala. But that didn't get to him, and that's what I like about him. He never seemed phased about what other people thought of him. I look up to that, not only was he my brother, he was my predecessor. My brother never wanted me to be less than him. He wanted me to surpass him in every way possible. And so...the journey of a New Hope begins here. I won't let him down. I don't know where this road will lead or what this world have in store for me. But I do know one thing, I'm not only Zero's brother, I'm his successor. I just have to face this unknown world."
