Chapter 2
Trust
“Help” said a young filly whose coat was pure as white and mane the color of blue. Right behind her was a timberwolf chasing her through the forest. “Somepony please help ME!” she kept screaming while backing up against a rock wall. As the timberwolf came closer to the mare, a spear came right in front of the timberwolf. Right behind the timberwolf was a green unicorn stallion with a red mane and metal on each of his hoofs. Next to him was a young unicorn colt with a red coat and red mane with a streak of blue in the middle.
“You might want to leave her alone” said the stallion with his eyes closed as the timberwolf looked at him. Then the timberwolf rushed to the stallion to attack him. Then the stallion open his eyes, his iris were the color of green and it looked like flowers. The spear that was thrown started to grow vines from it and grabbed the timberwolf before it’s claw got to the stallion's face. The timberwolf now was unable to move and the two ponies went to the filly who was now behind a rock near the wall. “Are you alright”
The filly stood there for a few seconds until she finally spoke “Y-yes, I’m find now, thank you for saving me if you ha-” but was stopped when the stallion slapped the filly in the face.
“What were you doing in the middle of the forest without any adults with you!” yelled the stallion.
“I did not have anypony with me because my mom and dad were killed by that timberwolf” she pointed to the timberwolf who was still in the vines from the spear “and that is why I was running in the middle of the forest” she said with tears forming in her eyes.
“I see” the stallion said while putting his hoof to his chin “Well, you can come with us for now, the name is Gre-” but stopped when the young colt next to him coughed “Right sorry son, my name is Bright star and this is my son Blaze peak”
“Thank you Mr. Bright star for saving me well since I am going to be with you, my name is Snow” she said putting her hoof out to Blaze.
Blaze stood still as the world around him turned black and started to feel something around his neck, and each of his hoofs. He tried to move but found out he couldn’t and now his world started to turn red.
Blaze woke up and felt chains on him. He looked around to see two unicorns in gold armor looking at him. In the middle of them he saw that their was another unicorn in purple armor. Looking right past him he could see bars and he now knew that he was in a cage or something like that. His train of thought was broken by the unicorn in the middle who spoke "Ah I see that you are finally awake, how are you feeling?"
"I’m doing fine Snow"
"Snow? My name is Shining Armor and who is this Snow you are talking about, Anyway I am the captain of the royal guard in canterlot and the crystal empire and you are?"
"Blaze peak sir, Ex guard" Blaze said with a smirk.
"Wait, so you are saying that you were a guard, okay who were with, the solar, night, or crystal guard?" Said Shining.
Blaze let out a sigh and said "It's classified"
"Classified, ok then why do you have metal on each of your hoofs?" Shining said raising an eyebrow.
"Family tradition"
Shining' eyes widen when he heard that "Family tradition! Who puts metal on their own flesh and blood for a stupid tradition, I will find those who did this to you, so where are they-" but was interrupted by one single word that made the world froze for him.
"Dead"
"D-dead?! What do you mean by dead? How were they killed?" Shining asked.
"You want to know, come closer"
Shining come a little closer so he can hear Blaze say "It's classified"
"Agh! Is everything with you is classified! So I will ask you one question, what is not classified about you! Shining said placing his hoof down and making the ground crack a little from his rage and outburst.
Blaze let out sigh "I will tell you about my eyes if you would ask nicely" he said with a smile.
“Find, can you tell me why do you have that red bandanna covering your eyes and why can we not take it off?” Shining said rolling his eyes in annoyance.
“This bandanna helps me from seeing the one pony that I despise the most when I was young” he let out a sigh “and the reason why you can’t take it off is because it is enchanted”
Shining raised his eyebrow “Enchanted, by what spell”
Blaze raised his head and now was eye level with Shining “A spell that my ancestors made and only my family knows how to perform it”
Shining was about to say something but was interrupted by Blaze “If you wish to remove it, you can’t only my family and the creator of the spell can remove it”
“Well then I still have more questions for you and” but was interrupted by Blaze who is now laughing. “Why are you laughing”
“Because my time with you is almost done Shining, my bail should be here any minute now” Blaze said with a smirk.
“What do you mean you are getting out of here! No one in their right mind will get you out of this pri-” but then he heard a voice that made him cringe.
“SHINING ARMOR”
Shining turn his head as well as the other guards to see a a very pissed off pink alicorn whose belly is slightly big for she is two months pregnant. “What are you doing!”
“C-cadence?! W-what are you doing here?” Shining said who was now backed up on a wall.
“What am I doing here, what are you doing here!” Cadence said while pointing her hoof to Shining.
“I’m here to interrogate this crazy pony who almost killed one of my sisters friends and what are you doing here!” Shining said.
“I’m here to get one of my friends out of prison and I had to found that my husband is interrogating him”
“Wait? You know him?” Shining said and his eyes went wide.
“Yes I do, now can you leave me and my friend some alone time and also, talk to Twilight for a while” Cadence said while using her magic to unlock the chains from Blaze.
“Fine Cadence I will go but please be careful ok” Shining said as he kissed her on her check.
“Don't worry I will be fine” she said as she waved her hoof to Shining and the two guards who are now leaving.
"You alright Cri-" Cadence was going to say something but was stopped by Blaze's hoof on her mouth.
"Don't ever say that name, he is dead to me! Okay Cadence" Blaze said
Normally Cadence won't let anypony call her by her name except for family and to Cadence Blaze was his adopted brother that she never told anypony. "Ok Blaze, I'm sorry for almost calling you that, I forgot that you hate that name. Well anyway did you see her again" Cadence said.
All Blaze did was nod at question. "She tried to make me her friend again and please let me speak to the mare that I thought was her"
"Alright we will go and meet her with her friends under one condition" Cadence said with a soft smile.
"What would that be Cadence?"
"Talk to this one pony I know" said Cadence with a smirk.
OUTSIDE
Shining Armor was sitting on the ground with his head low while talking to 5 mares. “And now I'm here talking to you Twilight”
Twilight had her mouth open when her brother finished the story “Okay so somehow Cadence knows that pony in that room and” but she stopped when she heard the door to the other room open to see Cadence and the pony that was imprisoned behind her.
"Cadence, how do you know that pony" said Twilight who pointed her hoof to Blaze.
Cadence was just smiling to Twilight "Well Twilight I know him because he is my brother"
Everypony in the room just had their mouths hung open when hearing those words "BROTHER"
Cadence was about to say something but was stopped by Blaze who then spoke "Well adopted brother to be exact and also allow me to introduce myself." Blaze took some steps to be in front of the mares and Shining "My name is Blaze Peak and please just call me Blaze" he said with smirk.
Everypony was silent until Shining broke it "Uh Cady, your family tradition is to infuse metal to the hooves stallions and if our kid is a colt are you going to do it to him?" Shining said with a raised eyebrow.
Cadence now was shocked to hear those words from her husband no less. She was going to say something but Blaze turn his head to her and nodded "Shining armor, I am please to tell you again that I'm her adopted brother, it is my family tradition and not hers."
Blaze then took a few steps to the group and was face to face to Rarity who was shaking a little. "Hello Rarity, Cadence has informed me who you are and I just wasn't to say I'm sorry for almost killing you. I have a thing for white color ponies and it cause me to see them as one pony that has me scared for life and without this" he pointed to his red bandanna covering his eyes "I see everypony else as that pony too but for some reason I still see white ponies with this on. So all I want to say I’m sorry for almost killing”
Rarity still was shaking when she heard him talk but then slapped Blaze in the face. “I almost got killed and all you have is this stupid excuse to” but was stopped by Cadence who now stood in between her and Blaze with fire in her eyes.
“It is the truth Rarity I know him best but not his whole story, so I made him promise to tell his backstory to this one pony I know who might get the truth out of him” Cadence said who pointed a hoof to Rarity.
“Ok so who is this pony?” Rarity said with a raised eyebrow.
Blaze walked around the room until he spoke to Twilight “Princess Twilight, I don’t see her anywhere, I'm looking for Fluttershy?”
Ponyville
“La La La La La” said a yellow pegasus mare with a pink mane and three butterflies for a cutie mark. She was passing food to her animals that were near her home near the Everfree forest. Her name was Fluttershy and she was doing her usually for her animals that she had to take care of. While feeding her pet Angel, a bright flash of green appeared before her.
“Ahh” she scream and flew behind a tree. She looked to see what it was until she notice it was a letter. “Oh my, I wonder who sent me this letter?” she thought as she picked it up.
When she read it she was surprised to see what is said. “Dear, Fluttershy, WE NEED YOU HERE AT CANTERLOT RIGHT NOW!” Fluttershy dropped the letter and rushed into her home. She came out with a saddle bag on her. “Angel honey, I’m going somewhere for a couple of days so please take care ok” Fluttershy said while hovering above Angel.
Fluttershy now was flying to the ponyville train station but unknown to her there was a pony behind a tree in the forest looking at her. “Finally, after all these years I have finally found you” after the pony said that he went backed up to the shadows in the forest.
