Screaming. It was all screaming. The sound of hooves clopping rang out across the entire area. Ponies were screaming and frantically running away to the safest place possible. A lone pony stood on a cliff. This was no normal pony. He had holes in his hooves and his wings were almost insect-like. He was a changeling. But he was not the average changeling. This one was particularly special, his dark blue mane flowing in the wind. His hooves pawed at the ground. His bright red eyes blazed at the destruction around him. Suddenly a harsh voice rang through his ears like water does through a hole. "UMBRA!!!!!" an icy blue she-changeling landed next to him. She glared at him.

"WHY AREN'T YOU OUT THERE, WELL FIGHTING?!"
Umbra glared at her. "All this fighting, and for what? We are hurting these-"

He ducked out of the way just in time as Glacier shot a beam of ice at him.

"SOFT HEARTED! AS USUAL! WHY CAN'T YOU ACT LIKE A REAL BIG BROTHER FOR ONCE?!"
Umbra gritted his teeth. Glacier rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I don't know how to change you...I've always thought of you as the best big brother out there. But now.."

Umbra put a holey hoof around his little sister's neck. "I'm sorry. I didn't know how much it hurt you. But I just...well....I was born like this. And I can't change my personality,"he whinnied softly. Glacier smiled a little, then wriggled out of reach.

"I'll go check on the troops then."

" And with that she flew off, leaving Umbra alone. Six siblings, but he was the oldest; and the softest. How on earth was he going to live up to his younger siblings?
