Isaiah 30:21New International Version (NIV)
21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
"I don't remember my mother nor my father or even if i had siblings. My earliest memory is a basket and water rocking me to sleep along with a gentle lullaby then nothing.
I was raised by Paul the Earth Pony. Paul he was different: he was......will I don't really know. I know that some called him crazy, others a mad pony and most possessed. Personally I think it was because they were scared of him when they said those things. For all that Paul was, and what the pony feared, will it was like something in Paul that they missed out on or feared which was silly because Paul was kind.
Paul said that he found me in a basket on the riverbed hiding in the reeds, He says that he wouldn't have found me if I wasn't crying or as he like to say wailing my lungs out. From that day onward Paul raised me up from a hatching to will a hatching +. Paul named me, no it wasn't Discord that name was give to me, he named me Moses because he said that are begins where the same. And I think also he wanted to add a little luck to me from that name, not that it work.
Paul told me that he wasn't always a prophet; that he was once a pony that was in a high positions and that he give it up because of a vision he saw. He never told me what the vision ... he just smiled at him. I don't remember if it was painful smile.
Paul taught all that he knew to me from reading to math even how to speak different languages and how to speak court or nobles. He also told me about his God.
I remember that listening to him, soaking all the tales of this Almighty God. I remember very clearly that if Paul's God was all powerful as he says then maybe just maybe... he could change to look normal. I told this to Paul, it took him a minute or two to answer me. That smile he give me though was painful smile as he told me that God might not do as i wish. That i was perfect to God eyes. That to God nothing need to fix or changed... I cried that night.
Whenever we went into town Paul would Preach to all he saw. Some ponies laugh and walked on, other they reacted very violate. It was during this attacks that I discovered my magic. Thanks to the chaos of my magic it distracted them long enough for us to get way. We run as fast as we could.... will Paul did I rode in the saddle bags shivering in fear. Paul would laugh off these attacks and continue of to the next town. For the most part I remained in the saddle bags whenever we went into town. Ponies didn't take will to my looks.
For all the time I was with him we were never without food and not because we both ate plants but because for some reason our money bag never ran out. When I came into my magic I felt the magic replenish the bag. So being a curious child I empty the coins on the ground and wait for the bag to refill itself. It didn't happen instead I got ask why I did such a thing by Paul who later laughed when I told him, I pouted for all that I was worth. After he was finished laughing at me, he told me how the money bag never ran out of money for it was God's magic replenishing the bag.
As the years went by I was still was able to ride in the saddle bag but i didn't for it hurt Paul's back. He was much older and soon he stop playing game with me or even pranking me. I was sadden by this but I didn't let him know.... to be honest I do believe he knew. How I don't know but Paul knew everything.
We soon came upon a forest which Paul named the Everfree Forest; that where we settle down and will that's were he died. He told me before he left me, that I need to stay in the Everfree Forest, that it would my sanctuary and to not forget his teaching, to read the word everyday. He said that he was sorry for leaving me so young but he had to go. That God would take care of me so long as I didn't forsake him and to tell others about him and to help others in need.
I buried him under his favorite apple tree. After that i keep his final wishes. I read the word everyday till the book was no longer read able. And prayed everyday and like he said i was taken care of. Don't get me wrong i was mad at this God for taking Paul away from me but I loved Paul too much to not listen to his final wishes.
As the years went by i learned to hunt animals and learn to look for plants that wouldn't kill me or do something else to me. I also i lean to have how to better control my magic during this alone time. And Paul's God became my only companion and friend.
I guess my reward for doing as Paul said was a friend. She was strange pony thought but very kind hearted and caring. Still strange though, you see she had this blue-green chitinous over her midsection and black fur. Her legs and mane, tail had holes in them which i confused me how she could even walk but uh meh anyways she also had a pair of cute fangs and dark green eyes with elongated oval pupils. Her mane and tail was also teal color which i found pretty. She didn't stay long though but it was nice when she was there.
I later met two young foals. The youngest found her way into the Everfree Forest and got herself lost. I couldn't leave her there so i took her to the edge of the forest and gentle pushed her out. Her older sister notice and came running to her but i hid before she could spot me. I can tell she was worry for the little foal from the way she was crying and so where her parents.
The little filly enter the forest again but this time with her sister to look for me. They looked for me to thanked me though they never found me it wasn't till there parents started to look that thinks got close. There Father was scared me, the mother not so much. But i think that was do the fur color and the way they held themselves. The father was as black as the night with no moon or stars and held himself like he kill people without hesitation. The Mother on the other hand was brown as the Earth itself, and held that caring motherly attitude. Like she take you in if you give her the chance or that she can protect you from the world dangers.
Believe it or not they end up chasing me into the tree where i got stuck on a branch. How i don't know I twisted myself on the branch even to this day it remains a mystery. It was the father that got me done then again he did have the wings so that may it easy i suppose. Once they got me down they ask me question which i meekly answered. They took me to their home that day. It took some time but they became my family.
Things change though and not for the better. The oldest sister started to have feeling for me and i didn't feel the same. She was just my little sister......she didn't like my answer. She did keep to herself though. Soon we had another sister from mother but she was mainly pink. Her other color had not come in like most foals, not that I would see it happen.
We were a happy family at least till the Mother and Father were killed. It had happen when we weren't there, I had take my little sibling out to meet Paul and will we came back to house that longer held the warmth. I didn't keep them there no it was too dangers I just gather little foals supplies and take them into the night of the Everfree Forest where i created the castle. They were not use to the forest like I. And the castle allow them to relax a little bit. I taught them what i knew of what to eat and not.
She blamed me I knew it, said those things and did those things because of her pain. But it still hurt coming from her. Not that it to excuse the things i did but it still hurts. I could have do something different but i didn't i became the Monster she thought i was. But i suppose the only good thing I did was put are littlest sister into a sleep not would not age her. She remain small and innocence till they waken her. Which I got to see not they know or even the fact she visit me and talked to me. It was nice to see littlest one grow up, even thought it was sad to see the other sister to fall like I did.
I was latter in was imprison in the stone. I still was aware what was going on around me. I took naps when things got boring. But i was always awake when my little sister visit. How she would cry to me that the ponies don't like her night or that are sister wasn't pay attention to her or even cared. It was to my great pain that she fall like I had. Her sentence was much harsh then mines at least i got some companion she had no-one. It wasn't till are littlest sister was awaken that i had decided to stay up to watch her grown. She didn't know why she visited me but she did. She told me of all her troubles and her hopes. She told me what she would not tell the others. And it was because of this that i saw the little purple filly with magic so strong it seem to be like the distance stars. Or the fact my little sister return and the fact one of first thing she did was visit me and tell me everything. Or how she came back to tell me how the ponies distrusted her or she missed me.
It was those lovely things that keep me from return the favor they did to me when the little fillies broken me free. Despite what she thought i wasn't going to take over. I like to see her control her magic complete after being imprison in stone. No i was simple playing an game to show those ponies a hard listen in life.
Not that it matter I suppose. For now you see my dear reader I'm FREE once more.
