Of Bats and Sparrows

1000 Years Ago,

Ash Sparrow waited for something to do, he was bored.

Being a guard could be a bit boring sometimes, not to mention all the hate that he received for being a… well… bat pony.

He hated that there was so much hate against them even though all they really did was to protect Princess Luna, that was it, nothing more, nothing less.

He didn't understand the reason why there was any hate at all, to start with.

Just because they were different didn't mean that they should be treated any less than any other pony. He deserved to be treated with just as much respect, but they weren't, his race was still hated and despised, he just wished that it could get better. He sighed, that was his wish, but it was not one that was going to come true anytime soon…
