Hey Y'all! Back for more! Also a worthy of note, the person who helped me (and typed) the scenes for me and coming up with awesome and funny ideas is from my close friend, Spike's number one fan!
Chapter 10: Two Alicorns
Snowflake stood his ground as the female unicorn smiled at him. "I'm not going any were with you." Snowflake said sternly at her, but she just ended up chuckling her merry way.
"How cute. You think I'm giving you a choice." Sherry said as her horn began to glow and then daggers rose from her saddlebag and were in the air. She smiled even more as Snowflake readied himself, and she said, "Remember, you can dodge but your friend can't." Sherry then prepare to attack.
"SkyDaggers."
Snowflake eyes widened as he realized she was right.
Then he retreated into his thoughts. "Damn, she's right." Snowflake watch the daggers fly at him. Then he thought of something and begin to cast a spell to save him and Rex from what it could possibly be death.
"FLARE ARROW!" And with that, fire arrows flow down from the sky, destroying the daggers and some of the remaining arrows were getting close to Sherry.
"WindSteps!" She said as she just vanished from sight.
"What? Where did she..." Snowflake was asking, but was quickly cut off by a strong hind kick from Sherry to his side. Snowflake slid across the street and groaned in pain. He looked at a smiling Sherry and said, "How did you do that?"
"Oh, just a simple spell called WindSteps." she said with a smile as she took a step closer, and then turned her head to avoid a sword swing from Rex. He then fell to the ground in pain and Sherry shock her head. "Foolish. I was not even aming at you."
-Somewhere in the sky-
Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash was still flying around when suddenly, she heared something and when she turn around, she saw fire arrows soaring towards down to Canterlot.
"What's going on?" She wondered as she took off towards the arrows were going.
-Back at Canterlot-
Sherry walks up to the fallen stallion, and then she stumped on to Rex's burnet lag.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Rex cries out as Sherry began to grind her hoof deeper into the leg, and which got louder screams and she smiled.
"FLARE LANCE!" Snowflake shouted, combining the strength of several flare arrows, forming a spear of fire his hoof and he launches it toward Sherry. She jumps out of the way and dodged the spear.
"Hmmmm, that was close." Sherry said still smiling as she looked over them.
"Yeah but I won't miss next time. FLARE LANCE!" Snowflake said as he once again used the fire spell, but this time using the spear of fire as close combat weapon instead of a range weapon.
"WindSteps!" Sherry said as she once again moved, but this time she showed up behind Snowflake.
"You still can't even hold a candle to your family." Sherry whispered in his ear.
"Shut up!" Snowflake yelled as he turn with the lance still active, putting a few buildings on fire, but not Sherry. His mood started to darken a bit.
"Heh, see. You can't stop me." Sherry said with a smile as she pointed a hoof towards Rex.
-Meanwhile Elsewhere-
"Same here, I can't find anything. You Pinkie?" Applejack asked her party pony friend.
"Nope, oh wait." Pinkie said as she hind leg began to cramp.
"Pinkie Sense?" Applejack asked not sure what that one means.
"Yep, it means some pony I know is in real trouble." Once finished saying that, the two looked at each other to try to find Snowflake and Rex.
-Back At Canterlot-
Sherry smiles evilly as she points her hoof at the down Rex and said, "CycloneShot" and a vortex of wind formed around her hoof. Snowflake eyes widened as he looked on as she fired the attack. Just then, a rainbow blur zoomed by and made Rex vanished.
"Hey." Said a certain pony. Both Sherry and Snowflake looked up, and on a building near by Rainbow Dash helping Rex stand.
"Hey, now I don't have to worry." Snowflake said as he got ready for a fight.
"Oh, and it's still cute that you still think you can win." Sherry said smugly.
"Well let's see. FIREBALL!" Snowflake yelled as he pulled his hoof back, creating a ball of fire and launched it toward Sherry, which she just smiled in response and vanished, then reappeared.
"You'll have to do better." Sherry said smiling.
"Really? Well then try dodging this then. RUNE FLARE!" Snowflake said as spheres spears of fire formed around him and then launched all of them towards Sherry.
-Meanwhile in Ponyville-
Rarity and Fluttershy were just leaving the hospital.
"I really hope he pulls through." Fluttershy said in her sweet voice as the two mares walked.
"I feel you, deary." Rarity said in her normal tone. Just then the two saw large fire explosions.
"I-is that Rune Fire?" Fluttershy asked weakly as she took a few steps back.
"I think so. Lets go see." Rarity said.
"B-but Snowflake only used that when he h-had no choice." Fluttershy said as she tried to walk back into the hospital, but Rarity had other thoughts.
"No, darling." She said and with that, she grabbed Fluttershy by the tail and drag her towards the fiery explosion.
-Back In Canterlot-
When the smoke cleared, holes, small fires, and ash was all round the spot Snowflake attacked.
"Alright! You did it Snowflake!" Rainbow Dash cheered, but neither of the others think so.
"Well, that was even closer." said a familiar voice as all three looked and there was Sherry smiling as it seamed she didn't take any damage.
"But, how?" Snowflake was now dumbstruck as to how any pony could survive that attack, considering Rune Flare is, although not the strongest fire shamanistic spell since he knows spells much more powerful, but still recognized as the strongest spell that mainly used for a single target. Being able to dodge all those spears of fire is considered a praise indeed.
"Oh, simple. I used the spell known as TwisterWalking. Makes me move faster than the wind." Sherry said as she stepped closer and then asked, "Even with that spell, You still couldn't hit me? What a disappointment."
"Hey, how dare you." Snowflake said as he begin to get mad at this mare.
"You heard me." Sherry said still smiling.
"Oh, yeah. BAM ROD!" Snowflake shouted as a fire whip formed on his hoof. He then swung it towards Sherry, as she then vanished again and out of anger, Snowflake swings his whip again recklessly, nearly hitting Dash near the building.
"Hey, watch it!" She yelled as Snowflake's stable mind begin to deteriorate.
"You still need to work on them if you want to hurt me." Sherry said as she appears again. Snowflake began to swing at her, and she dodges them with ease. "See? You can't hit me." Sherry mocked Snowflake as he continued to attack, but then the whip vanished from him.
-Meanwhile inside Celestia's chamber-
"...And that's what we have so far princess. My friends are looking around." Twilight Sparkle said informed her teacher.
"What are the odds? An attack from some unknown attacker not even a week from the troll attack." Luna asked as the three sat there.
"Yeah, what are the odds?" Celestia chimed in as she began to think, but before anything could be done, a guard runs in.
"Your Majesty, I've got word that the pony named Snowflake is in battle with the attacker as we speak." The guard said.
"Really?" Twilight asked.
"Send reinforcements to subdued the attacker." Celestia said as she stood up and along with Luna and Twilight. And then the three of them left to find out what's up.
-Back outside in Canterlot-
"Take this, RUNE FLARE!" Snowflake shouted as he released more spears of fire towards Sherry, but she dodge them as if they were nothing.
"Please, you still can't touch me." Sherry said as she avoided the last wave of spells, and then she let out a smile as she begin to speak once more. "I think it's time to end this. DeathVision!" And a form of numerous shadows, come forth from her horn and begins head towards him in quick succession.
"What the hell...?" Snowflake mentally said as the shadows entered into his eyes. What he saw was pure horror and grotesque. Every pony he cares for; The main six, Valkerye, and even his sister. Stone up by chains, mutilated, and dead looks on each of their faces that sickened and killing him. He tried to speak, but no words came out of his mouth. As he looked, more and more dead bodies of his friends come around.
"Snowflake? Hey, Snowflake!" Dash yelled, but he just stood there, with a blank and somewhat lifeless look on his face.
"It's no use. He's mine." Sherry said as she took a few steps closer towards him.
"Now, don't get any closer!" Said a voice as Sherry looked over and saw Applejack and Pinkie Pie arriving at the scene.
"AWW, isn't that cute? CycloneShot!" Sherry said as she shot her wind attack towards the earth ponies.
"Girls look out!" Dash yelled from the top of the building. The two earth ponies jump out of the way.
"Oh boy, that was super duper close!" Pinkie Pie said as she landed back on the ground.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Every pony looked and saw a very mad Rarity with her mane a huge mess.
"Huh, is that it?" Sherry scoffed at Rarity. This only made her madder and she was ready to charge at her; That is, until she saw Snowflake still retaining his blank and lifeless expression on his face.
"What wrong with him?" Rarity asked as she looked at the unicorn.
"Nothing, now let me go, and ..." Sherry was saying but she was cut off.
"Stop right there." Yelled a guard as he and two others pointed there horns at Sherry. Sherry paid them no mind, but then she noticed two Alicorn princesses behind them.
"Oh, I was told to avoid you." Sherry said as she took some steps back. As she did that, Twilight noticed Snowflake and looked over him.
"Princess, what is wrong with him?" Twilight wondered what was wrong, but Luna knew.
"LifeVisions." Luna said as her horn glow white and Snowflake broke out of his trance.
"What happened?" Snowflake asked as he looked and saw everyone, even the royal sisters and Sherry.
"Nothing. We were just arresting that unicorn." Twilight said helping Snowflake up.
"Unicorn? Oh, no. I'm not an Unicorn." Sherry said as every pony gave her a confused look on their face. So Sherry, flexed her back and then the cloak fell off, revealing two large wings for everypony to see.
"She an Alicorn." Twilight said as she looked at the pony. She then look around to see how everypony thought about this new revelation, including the royal sisters.
"Oh, I'm not the only Alicorn. Isn't that right, Snowflake?" Sherry said as she got even more confused looks, all except Snowflake in which he had a scared look on his face.
"I have no idea of what she's saying. She's lying." Snowflake said sweating profusely.
"Lying? Oh, I never lie. In fact, Black Void Release." Sherry yelled as her horn began to cloak with black magic, and then released at the ponies around her. Everypony seemed to be unharmed, all except Snowflake as he fell over in pain.
"Snowflake you okay? What's wrong?" Twilight asked as she looked at him and before her very eyes, he began to grow a set of large wings. Everypony looked at him in awe and Sherry took her chance and said, "WindSteps." And with that very instant, she was gone.
"Guards, stop..."Celestia was about to give her guards an order, but stopped when she saw ponies coming and then looked at Snowflake who was trying to hide his wings. She thought for a moment and said, "FlashHome." And with that, her, Luna, the main six, Rex, Snowflake, and the guards were gone.
-Inside Canterlot-
The twelve ponies arrived in the large throne room of the castle. All of them fell to the ground, except for Celestia, as she landed on her hooves.
"Guards, watch the door and do not let any pony inside until I say." She said as her guards saluted her and went to their posts. She turned towards the young Alicorn.
"I,...I thought there were no male Alicorns left..." Twilight said with a confused look on her face, but then she got a smile on her face as she pulls a quill and paper and then said, "Oh, where do I began?"
"Uh, Twi. I think we should leave him alone for now." Applejack said as she saw Snowflake with a very nervous look on his face.
"Well, I think we should get answers as to why he didn't tell us he was an Alicorn in the first place." Rainbow Dash said sounding very hurt from Snowflake not telling his real identity.
"Now now. I think he has a real good reason. Right?" Rarity said in a calm tone. Snowflake looked scared as he looked away from the others.
"I'm nothing special everyone..." Snowflake said in a sad tone. This was something that made every pony look at him confused.
"Um, if it's alright... Why do you think your nothing special?" Fluttershy asked in her normal tone.
"Yeah. You being a male alicorn makes you super, duper special!" Pinkie Pie said as she bunced up and down.
"No, I'm not!" Snowflake yelled making the six and Rex looked confused, but the royal sisters knew where this conversation is going at from here. As Snowflake added, "I'm nothing but a filthy foal that doesn't and shouldn't deserve the honor of being an Alicorn let alone to be called as one. That is why I had this spell put on me." Snowflake then looked at everyone with tears forming in his eyes.
Before either of the main six or the royal sister could say anything, Snowflake quickly wiped his tears and straightened his facial expression. "Still... regardless of the matter, I can foresee that all of you have alot questions to ask me. Well, now would be a good time to ask then now since we're here."
Rainbow Dash was the first person to speak. "Dude, why didn't you show us that you were an Alicorn, because I really want to test you on speed." She then begin to flexed her leg.
"Rainbow Dash! Now is NOT to be thinking about testing you speed on other ponies." Twilight shouted in annoyance.
Snowflake couldn't help but to let out small chuckle. "It's because it would cause much unwanted attention. I didn't come here to Equestria with the intention of become popular solely from my appearance..."
"My sister and I can related that..." Celestia replied with a small chuckle.
Snowflake let a small smile. "Next Question."
Rarity went up for her question. "Darling, why on earth did you not show us these magnificent wings from the start?" Rarity asked in a sweet tone.
Snowflake couldn't help but feel strangely flattered from Rarity's complement. Snowflake then turned his head and looked at his eagle-like wings. "Uh...you think my wings are magnificent...?"
"Of course dear." Rarity replied.
"Thank you...?" Snowflake scratched the back of his head and then resumed back to business. "Anyway, moving on."
Next, it was Pinkie Pie that took the stand and as usual, she bounced up and down and was in Snowflake's face. "Oh, my gosh. What is your favorite food, animal, music,...," Pinkie went on a tangency of random questions.
Snowflake sweatdropped from the pink earth pony asking never ending questions. He knew that would take hours to answer all of her questions. "Erm... If it's okay that I can get back to you..."
Pinkie Pie happily nodded her head. "Okie dokie Flakey!"
Snowflake let out a sigh in relief. "Thank you Pinkie Pie. Anymore questions?"
Twilight begins to walk towards Snowflake with a very big grin on her face. "Oh, Wow. A male Alicorn. This could be a great study project." Twilight said as she got a quill and paper out in a mere moment.
Snowflake raised his eye a bit. "Am I some kind of experimental test subject to you?" He tried not to sound angry or offended but the royal sisters could noticed his slight tone of anger and annoyance in his voice.
"Twilight Sparkle, let Fluttershy and Applejack asked their questions." Celestia said.
"Alright Celestia." Twilight put up her quill and paper away.
Just then, A familiar voice was heard. "So, Snowflake is an Alicorn all along? Yes, I knew you were special. Mac owes me 10 bits." Rex said as he sat in a chair near the throne.
"You made a bet with your friend Max to see if I'm an Alicorn?" Snowflake asked feeling half shocked and half annoyed.
"Why yes I did Snowflake." Rex replied with a sly smile.
Snowflake then rolled his eyes and decided not to argue with Rex since it was not the time for it. He soon turned his attention to Flutteshy who have been awfully quiet the whole time. "Fluttershy? Is there something you want to ask me?"
Fluttershy shyly nodded her head. "I do... but can you get back to m-me?"
"It's totally fine Fluttershy." Snowflake replied with a smile. He then turn to the earth apple farm pony. "Applejack? Do you have anything to ask me?"
"Well sugar cube, I feel you owe us an explanation as to why you won't straight with us from the start?" Applejack asked concerned for an answer.
"Your right about owing everypony an explanation about why I didn't be honest with you all... but I had a VERY good reason to." Snowflake then took a deep breath as what he'll about to say would be reveal more part of his past but nevertheless muster the mental and emotional strength to speak.
"My name is Snowflake and I was born on Abion. I'm considered what you guys called a runaway pony. I left my family so I can get away from them and to escape the turmoil over there."
Applejack then decided to ask another question. "Turmoil?"
Snowflake nodded his head. "Yes." He then turned to Celestia and Luna expecting them to ask about their questions.
"Now, now. Snowflake, I feel I need to ask what is going on in Abion as of late?" Celestia asked in a concern tone.
"Yes, what's has happen to our good looking alicorn stallion over the year?' Luna asked with a smile.
"S-sister!" Celestia said as she begin to excused Luna for her attempts to flirt with the male alicorn.
Snowflake quietly excused Luna's flirts and resumed to answered both of the royal sisters's questions. "First to answer Celestia's question, the activities that has been going on the last time I left Abion were nothing but chaos and madness over there and I highly doubted that over the past year gap period while living here in Equestria that things would get better."
Celestia then begin to feel a bit caution and discomforted upon Snowflake answering her question. She begin to clear her throat to proceed on gaining more info. "Okay... next question. Care to elaborate the state over there? Like, what are the living conditions and such as that."
Snowflake's face begin to darken which caused every pony in the chamber to look at him and filled the air with a very bad omen. "The living conditions... are horrible... and I'll explained to you all in the best of my abilities. Abion is divided into 5 Abion citizens are divided into 5 different classes, and according to those classes, the places where you can enter, the place where you live and even who you can marry or how many foals you can have are severely restricted. The principle to divide ponies into those classes is determined that if ponies are born into either a magician, royal or noble family blood or not."
"WHAT?!" The main six shouted in unsion while Rex, Luna and Celestia was baffled from Snowflake answer.
Snowflake nodded his head. "I'm telling the truth and that's not the worst of it."
Just then, Twilight chimed into the conversation. "Earlier while we were on the train to Canterlot, you mentioned about Abion practiced and involved in drug trade and even slavery."
"That's right Twilight, thank you for bringing that up. I almost forgot about that topic. But first, I'll explain the five classes." Snowflake then use his magic to explained how the system works in Abion. "Okay, as I said before there are five different classes in Abion. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and finally the 5th level."
Snowflake continued on. "The 1st Level of Citizenship is where the king and the rest of the royal family in Abion resides and lives and for ponies who are World Nobles, which I'll explained that later. There are roughtly around 600 ponies reside there. Or at least that's the last time I checked before leaving."
"Wait... Abion has a king over there?!" Rarity asked.
"Yes. Now moving on is the 2nd Level of Citizenship, is where other nobles and all high level unicorn magicians lives. There are 4,000 ponies living there.
"Does Abion has a school that trained unicorns?" Luna then asked.
"They do. It's called the Sorcerer's Guild." Snowflake replied.
"I see... Continue on please." Luna said.
"Proceeding on then... the 3rd Level of Citizenship is where ponies where ponies lives that where most unicorns and his or her parents are full-fledge magicains that just graduated from the Sorcerer's guild. It also extended for ponies that are doctors or scholars or have some particular technical skills, to those belonging to the royal army or working for the monarchy government. Last time I've checked that there were about 30,000 ponies living on that level." Snowflake added.
"Really? This is interesting..." Twilight said as she listened the conversation.
"The 4th Level of Citizenship is where most ponies live or what people on level 3 and above called them commoners. So very glad I left... Anyway, there are about 90,000 ponies living on that level. And then..." Snowflake stopped as he begin to shake a little.
"T-then what Snowflake?" Fluttershy timidly ask knowing that the worse is coming around the corner given that she sees Snowflake is currently shaking.
Snowflake then sigh and prepare to speak. "...Then there the 5th Level of Citizenship. This is where ponies live who are unable to pay the tax liability and for unicorns who are unable to use magic. It's also for ponies who didn't do well or who failed at their business. Plus, it's where foals who are orphaned and for the poor as well. Long story short, the ponies living here are deemed worthless by the 4th Level Authorization District and above. It holds a population of 300,000 ponies which is consist two thirds of the population of Abion."
Every pony in the the whole chamber stood there in silence, totally in shock of how ponies in Abion could be so cruel, careless and vile and to have a system like that. With some effort of her part, Celestia begin to speak. "What about your family Snowflake? How were you treated over there and what class you were on?"
Snowflake tried to suppressed his emotions but ultimately, he couldn't and his tears were pouring down his face. He then lift his mane that covered his left side of his face. What every pony saw horrified them; Snowflake's left face have distinctive scar but perhaps the most noticeable feature is that his left eye was ruby red instead of his usual pale blue-white iris. Every pony saw that Snowflake has heterochromia, a pony of any kind of creature possessed a difference in coloration in his or her hair or skin, but it's mostly seen in one's iris.
A frightened Applejack begin to speak. "W-where in the world did ya get that?"
"This eye, was the result of my family abuse." Snowflake took a very large breath. "'I lived on the 1st level. I was physically, emotionally and mentally abuse at the hands of my mother and brother. My father and sister were the only two family members that loved me and cared for me. During my teenage years my father vanished. My mother and brother claimed that he was banished for committing vicious and treasonous things, but both of sister and I suspected that either one of both of them played a role in his disappearance. As each time year passes, the abuse only worsens and they became more sadistic. It was around a year ago when my sister finally couldn't stand the living conditions no longer. So my sister and I decided to leave Abion and live somewhere else."
"What happened?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"While we were escaping and arrived at the port, we encountered with my brother who discovered our plan to leave and wasn't going to let us leave. Then a fight occur between my sister and my brother and when my sister was wounded, she told me to get to the ship which I did. I managed to escape but my sister however, didn't and I had to leave her behind and then I arrived here in Equestria after 7 to 10 days of sailing." Snowflake concluded his story of how he came here.
"You lived in Equestria for a full year?!" Twilight asked in shock.
"Yes Twilight." Snowflake nodded his head. He then begin to yawn and feel a bit drowsy.
"Snowflake? Are you okay?" Luna asked in a worry tone.
"Yeah... I'm just so exhausted.. but I'll be oka-" Snowflake was then cut off from a quick but sharp pain inflicted on his left red eye. "Ahhh... Ahhh... AHHHHH!"
"Darling! Are you okay?!" Rarity asked but what happened next made everyone looked in shock; Snowflake's left red were begin leaking out blood and trickling down his face.
"Damnit... that last attack Sherry used somehow made my eye to experienced pain beyond imaginable..." Snowflake replied as he try to use a white magic spell to heal his red eye.
"A-are you gonna be okay?" Fluttershy asked.
"Yeah..." Snowflake replied as he healed his eye.
"How terrible..." Twilight mumbled under her breath.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Snowflake then took a glimpse outside and discovered that the sun is setting right now and begin to get dark. "It's getting late... Listen I should be get going. Thank you Celestia and Luna." Snowflake then begin to make his way towards the door.
"The train won't operate in this late hour. You guys can stay here for the night." Celestia said.
"Are you sure?" Snowflake asked, not to want to cause anymore trouble with his presence.
"Positive." Celestia replied.
"YAY! SLEEPOVER!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she happily bounced up and down.
"OH! How I wanted to stay here overnight!" Rarity chimed in as she currently feel excited for the privileged to stay at Celestia estate.
"Okay... didn't expected this to happen..." Snowflake thought in wonder.
And with that, The main six, Rex and Snowflake are currently standing in the throne room as the princesses have left to prepare their beds for the night, when suddenly the door opened and in walked a tall male handsome unicorn with long light amber mane and tail, light gray coat and light brilliant arctic blue eyes. He is wearing a black colored coat vest and his cutie mark is that of a compass rose.
"Hello, I'm here." Said Prince Blueblood as he walked in with a high appearance of himself. His mere presence earned a grown from most of the main six except for Rarity, for she was trying her hardest not to attack him.
"AH, what do you want?" Rainbow Dash asked as she did not want him here.
"Well, I came here to see my aunt's and not you commoners." Blueblood spat out coldly as he held his head up high.
"Hey, that's wasn't very nice." Applejack said as she too was getting mad.
"Well, now if it isn't the pony that tried to poison me with low brow food.'Blueblood said with a smile, but it vanished as the rest of the six, Rex, and Snowflake had to hold Applejack back as she marched towards him.
"Hey, what's your problem?" Snowflake said as the others held her back. The prince looked at him, and noticed that he was an Alicorn.
"Oh, and here I thought I was thought with all these new Alicorn with my cousin, Princess Candace." Blueblood said rudely.
"Hay, don't bad mouth my sister-in-law." Twilight said as she herself was about to lose her cool too.
"Yes, I still don't know what she saw in that lower, down guard." Blueblood once again stuck his hoof in his mouth as now Twilight was being held back.
"Another royal person who's arrogant and snobbish. A Typical baka." Snowflake said casually with a gruff.
"Baka?" Blueblood asked.
"It's a word in the native language back where I from means stupid or idiot." Snowflake replied. "Of course an arrogant snob like you wouldn't know what it means." Snowflake let out a smirk on his face, feeling proud of himself from mocking the blonde stallion prince.
Prince Blueblood grew angry from Snowflake calling him an idiot. "How dare you call me that! I'd shou-"
"Aero Bomb." Snowflake said casually as he released a ball of compressed air out of his left hoof and exploded on Blueblood upon contact, sending him flying a few inches and caused to whimpered in pain.
"Or what you snobbish brat..? I can see that your not the type of noble who fight for yourself unlike I am where I had fight everyday of my life since day one of coming into this world and treated like a slave at the hands of my family. You don't know madness or insanity unless you seen it, witness it or lived in it. I have and guess what, I survived it all." Snowflake said full of emotions and sure of himself to stand up for his friends and himself.
"Tch... I really don't all of that..." Blueblood said as he got up.
"Whatever. Believe me or not that's your choice. It's my life and my foalhood so I know what I saw and been through. Even though your mean and snobbish, your NOTHING compare to the nobles in Abion. They'll torture you inside out and abused you regardless who you are. Not only they participated it, they ENJOYED it. While most of them love to see or reveled in physical pain, there are some however that derived pleasure from emotional anguish aiming to set up scenarios in which their victim's mental state would be twisted inside out and loves seeing ponies torn apart by their own inner agony and emotional pain. Long story short, most nobles are described as sadistic psychopaths and sociopath people that are more focused on breaking you physically, emotionally, mentally and finally to some extent, psychotically." Snowflake added, leaving the entire room stunned and silent.
""Well, no matter what. You are nothing but below me." Blueblood said as he turned and walked out. Leaving every pony in the room pissed. All except Snowflake who was rubbing his head and sighed.
"I just hope at the very least for his sake that he doesn't go down this path... otherwise Celestia would be very sad of what he'll become in the future if he don't change."
"What do you mean Snowflake?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"It's a long story everyone... but lets just say that I have seen good ponies turn bad and bad ponies turn worse and worse ponies turned condemned..." Snowflake replied sadly.
Just then, Celestia and Luna came inside the throne room and informed them that they're beds are ready. Everypony bid each other good night and walked towards their room. The main six will be sleeping in the same room while Snowflake and Rex will be sleeping in the other room.
-In Princess Celestia's Chamber-
Princess Celestia is currently on her bed wondering about the male alicorn arriving at her land. Not that is was a bad thing of course. In fact, she thought that the Alicorn race were either a female only race or to make it look like a female only race due to never seeing a male alicorn before in her life, rending the alicorn race on near extinction. Although she tried to accepted it, Celestia couldn't help but to think about this grim fate hanging on her kind. She wants to know more about Snowflake and to see if his parents were alicorns themselves.
One thing is for certain though... Snowflake being an Alicorn coming her in Equestria is a sign that the Alicorn may have a chance to live on as a race after thousands of years of mystery and fear of extinction and to witness such an event only comes in a lifetime if not at all. This was huge... REAL huge.
There is one thing however that made Celestia can't help but to wonder though. Is that why Snowflake self-loathes himself? Did the ponies in Abion made him this way from treated him like a slave all his foalhood? Did Snowflake experienced madness and insanity that he just beginning to recover when his time of age? Or does he still deep down sees himself as a worthless pony with very self conflicted problems?
The sun princess decided to call it a night and slowly fell asleep hopefully that she'll find the answer in the days to come.
-At the same time in Princess Luna's Chambers-
From the balcony, Luna stared at the night sky retreating in her thoughts about Snowflake stumbled on Equestria. A male Alicorn appearing doesn't come out of nowhere for no reason... Whatever the case may be, this is exciting news for her as ever since from returning back to her normal self she desired a worthy mate and seeing Snowflake, a male alicorn appearing in front of her eyes, to her is her chance to have him as her mate and her mate alone.
And she'll make sure that her long dream of having Snowflake as her mate would come to fruition.
-Meanwhile elsewhere in one of the guest chambers-
The six mares sat and laid on their separate beds given to them by the royal sisters, but all the mares were still too bizarre to go to sleep and begin talking about the new Alicorn.
"Can you fillies believe that Snowflake is an Alicorn?" Twilight asked in a wondering tone.
"No, Ah, always thought there was three alicorns." Applejack said as she was worries as she added, "I just hope he didn't lie to us."
"W-well. I'm pretty sure he a reason to given the fact how Snowflake not accepting that he is one... I hope he'll be okay." Fluttershy said weakly as she looked at every pony talking.
"Even so. I don't think he should have and hiding such great wings should be a crime." Rarity said with a calm look on her face.
"Yeah, I mean how could he lie. But then again, he did came forward and saved every pony in Ponyville." Pinkie began to talk as only very few ponies could keep up with.
"Yeah and he just looks good with those wings and cute with the way he smiles." Rainbow Dash said out of nowhere as she was day dreaming and before she knew it, she spilled the beams. She turned and saw a mixture of both confusion and smile of joy in the room leaving Rainbow Dash blushing like a cherry.
-At Snowflake's and Rex's guest chambers-
"So, any female Alicorns waiting for you back home?" Rex asked as he laid down on the large bed.
"No, not really Rex... But I might..." Snowflake started, but he was cut off when Rex sat up in the bed.
"No way. You have a crush on one of the six down the hall. Don't you?" Rex asked as he smiled eagerly wanting to know.
"What? Of course not!" Snowflake yelled as he tried to hide his blushing cheeks.
"Dude, when you live on the outside looking in, then you can see things. So, who is it?" Rex asked again.
Snowflake then sighed as he facehoof. "Look, can we talk about this another time Rex please?"
"Whatever you say Snowflake. Night stallion!" Rex said as he begin to close his eyes.
"Night Rex..." Snowflake mumbled under his breathe as he too begin to close his eyes and fell asleep.
Spells used in this chapter: Flare Arrow, Aero Bomb, Rune Flare, Flare Lance, Fireball and Bam Rod.
Flare Lance
Flare is an offensive fire shamanistic spell.
Combining the strength of several Flare Arrows, the caster forms a spear of fire, which can be used to attack (ranged or close combat like any other or normal lance), light a fire, or even to heat up an object.
Bam Rod
Bam Rod is an offensive fire shamanistic spell.
After casting, a whip of fire appears in the caster's hooves, which can be used to attack the enemy just like any other weapon. It is far more deadly than normal whips, however, dealing damage equal to that of a Flare Lance with each hit. The spell continuously drains the caster's pool capacity while active, but an experienced magician can easily maintain it for a long period of time.
Aero Bomb
Aero Bomb is an air shamanistic spell.
It causes a ball of compressed air to explode in the desired location. This spell deals little damage (roughly equal to a single punch), and is mainly used to deflect projectiles or some offensive spells. Being very easy to cast, it is considered a useful beginners' spell.
Okay! That's it for chapter 10! See you in chapter 11 everyone! Caio!
