Prologue
Ten years has gone by since Silver had sacrificed himself to save Luna. Silver passed away after giving his speech to Equestria about self-sacrifice. Before Silver's moment of passing, he and Luna created new life together. Aegis was born, a small grey-coated colt. He was recruited into the Royal Guard at a very early age, expected to be one of the best and live up to his bloodline's reputation. Unlike his father, he has a horn and capabilities to cast magic.
Over the years, Aegis' and Luna's frequent visits to see the citizens of Canterlot and Ponyville began to slowly cease. Luna, depressed about the loss of her lover, due to her own choices, is starting to lose the battle against her depression. In addition, Aegis, who is now a grown stallion, has vowed to protect his mother no matter the cost. Luna mainly stays inside the castle walls and watches her son train daily. After he is done with training, she teaches him about control over his magic and new magical abilities. Everyday, Aegis is usually training and studying, he has not seen the group of mares his father traveled with for a few years. Due to his daily regime of training most of the day, Aegis has yet to discover his cutey mark.
When a new villain begins to cause a lot of trouble for Canterlot and Ponyville, Aegis sets out with the Royal Guard to put a stop to it. Feeling this is the chance he has been waiting for to earn his cutey mark and respect his blood carries. Over the course of the missions, Aegis makes decisions based on what he believes his father would do, in hopes of becoming the renowned legend his father has become.
However, will that be the right choice of action judging how he is not an earth pony like his father? How will Luna fare with the possibility she could lose her son as well? Will Aegis' non-social life influence his choices? Can Aegis live up to his father's legacy? Will Aegis ever discover his cutey mark and his meaning of existence? Will he encorporate help from the mares that assisted his father?
We will have to find out…
