//------------------------------// // Prologue - A legend is born // Story: The Legend of Sunflare Knight // by SunFlare Knight //------------------------------// Millinocket, Maine. (Year, 2009.) “I am going to beat you.” I am going to beat my cousin in a Nascar racing video game. He always beat me in this game but not for long. “Ha, not a chance.” we are playing in final lap of grand prix, and we are so neck and neck. It was going amazing until the last second, he uses his last boost to finish first place. “Aww come on man.” I was so close to beat him, I totally forgot about his last turbo boost. And once again my cousin beat me in a race. “You did good Hunter; you did become better than the last time. But still you can’t beat the master racer.” he said with a smirk on his face. To me I just sat down with my arms crossed. “Sometimes I hate you so much.” I said while my cousin just laughing his ass off. His laughter died down when my aunt walks right in our room. “You boys having fun?” she said holding a basket of clean laundry. “I hope you guys aren't fighting.” My aunt said while My cousin pauses the game. “No, I was just showing him, that he can never beat me, since I am a master racer.” “Only because you had one last boost that I totally forgot about, and even if you didn’t I could of win.” My cousin rolled his eyes from the comment. “True, but still you did become better than the last time.” He said with a proud smile. Ok so your probably wonder who I am and about my life, well let me tell you. My name is Hunter Knight, I am a 17-Year-old white male with an average built body, and a black faded haircut. For Clothes I wear a gray short sleeve t-shirt with a sunset beach picture on the front, blue jeans, white socks, and Brown outdoor shoes. Over on my right is my cousin Nick, he is 15 years old, he is also a white male who is a little skinny then what I have, and he is a little shorter than me. He also has a brown spiky haircut with a little of blond on the edges. For his clothing he wears a short sleeve red t-shirt, a black hoodie with a gaming controller symbol that is cut to half when you unzip the hoodie. Blue jeans, white socks, and red and black sneakers. He also has a white pair of headsets rap around his neck, with a cord going down to his right hoodie pocket. “Yeah, whatever man, keep telling yourself that, I going to beat you in the next round.” I said with a confident look. “Oh yeah” “Yeah” “Boys…” My aunt said, both of us look at her. “don’t forget you guys got to pick up jasmine Today.” Oh, right we almost forgot about that. Your probably wonder who jasmine is, well she is my sister. We basically grew up together, before our parents died. In our life we been staying at our aunt Stacy and uncle Sam’ place for a while. I guess you could say there are like our second mother and father. They been taking care of us since our parents died in an accident by a deer in the road. Yeah, I know right, talk about a bad way to die in a common scenario. “Sure thing, Auntie, come on Nick lets grab my sister and bring her home, so I can beat you this time.” My aunt and cousin just rolled their eyes from my comment. “Will see about that Hunter.” Nick said. I grab my black zip hooded sweatshirt while he grab my keys. “Also, Hunter, don’t forget to grab some Milk after you grab your sister, ok?” my aunt said. “Sure, thing Auntie.” “Also, your uncle will be home after his shift, so can you grab him a Newspaper while your there as well.” My uncle works as a policeman, but he usually does late night shifts if some of the crews were sick or an emergency with their family. “I got you covered mom.” Nick said. “Thanks boys, be back soon we are having chilly tonight.” Oh no, not my aunts chilly. She makes them too spicy, like way too spicy. After a 30 minute drive, we arrive at the middle school, where I can see my sister, stand on the sidewalk where the school entrance will be. She is a 11 year old, who has long brown hair, a pick shirt with a alicorn picture in the middle, purple skirt, and a yellow Skecher sneakers. She also has a blue backpack with her own art design on them. As we got out of the car, she came running tours us with a great big hug. “Hi Nick, Hi Brother.” She said in an excited toon. “Hi sis, how was school.” As I said that she doesn’t look to thrilled about out. “what’s wrong sis, did something happen?” God, I hope no one bullied my sister. Middle school was shit when I first went there. “Can I tell you in the car Hunter, I don’t want people hear me cry.” Must be serious. “Sure, get in you can tell me about when go to the shop to grab milk and a newspaper for Uncle Same.” After about 15 minutes of the drive, she was finishing her story when we pulled in to hanndford. Apparently, a bully did come up to her, asking for lunch money, then calling her names, then he try to steal a neckless, that our mother gave to her before she died. Bully was laugh about her mother not around. I was not happy about that. “Nick, can you go grab the Milk and the newspaper please, I need a word with my sister.” Nick nodded his head in agreement, but before he leave, I whispered in his ear to grab something for my sister as a treat to make her feel better. He nodded his head again as he got out of the car and went inside. I turned around and look at my jasmine. “Hey, you alright?” she looks up at me and… oh my god those eyes and tears. It just hurt me so much about that. To think someone so low go straight up to a little girl telling her about our parents, it makes me sick. “Look jasmine don’t let those guys tell you about our parents, I know they died from what happen, and I miss them too. but don’t forget our mother and father will always be with us, in here.” I said while pointing at my center chest where my heart is. “…Sniff… I know… …Sniff… …It’s… …sniff… …just that, it’s been so long, that… …sniff… I just miss them so much.” Now I was getting sad. I decided to get out of the car come to her door unhooked her seat belt and pick her up for a lovable bear hug to calm her down. “I know their jasmine, I know. Things will be tough, but everything will turn out alright.” I said to jasmine while she hugs me tighter and crying on my shoulder, and whispering “how” over my shoulder. That’s when an idea come to my mind. “You know there is a saying that, when there are things that get rough, you got to look at the bright side to see a clear picture, and to know that you are never alone. Because know matter where you are, there will always be someone out there to be by your side, big or small.” That got Jasmine to brighten up, and what’s that I see, is that smile there. “And guess what, Nick is going to buy you some Ice cream for you.” Jasmine was now shocked with excitement. “Really, really?” She spoke. “Yeah.” I said in a calm happy tone. “thankyouthankyouthankyou.” She said as she was hugging me tight. “you’re welcome, now go in there and grab whatever you want.” I said while going the other direction. “aren’t you coming with me?” she asked with a confused look. “In a little bit I am going to just take a little walk to get some fresh air ok, Nick will be in there waiting for you, I will join you in there when I am done.” Jasmine nodded and headed inside to find Nick. Today is a beautiful day for a walk, its sunny, it’s not too hot, not even a single cloud in the sky. I got to admit it such a beautiful day that nothing can ruin it, excepted maybe that dark cloud forming above me, Wait what. I stop and look up the cloud, it was forming in a circle like a small hurricane. Lightning starts flashing all around. Everyone is freaking out and confused as to why did this cloud form out of nowhere. My cousin and sister came out, they saw what going on, but when they saw me under it, they were shocked. When the cloud start spinning faster and faster its starts forming a tornado with me in middle. Jasmine and Nick scream my name, but after about a minute or two the storm died down, and the tornado is gone. When they went to see if Hunter was all right, only problem is when they reach it, Hunter was not there, only one of his shoes was there. Jasmine was now scared and crying wondering where her brother is. “Nick where is my brother?” she asked while she is scared. “I don’t know?” Equestria over 3000 years in the past. In the land of Equestria we see a castle in the center of the Everfree jungle, in the castle through a small window we see a young 16 year old White fur alicorn mare with a flowing pink mane and tail, with golden crown and golden shoes, she also has a Sun logo on her flank. Her name was Princess Celestia. In her room we see Celestia running around. It looks like she is preparing for something or looking for something. In the corner of her room, we see another alicorn who is 15 years old. but instead of white and pink, we see a blue fur alicorn with a flowing cyan mane and tail. She was also wearing a dark crown on her head, and she wear light blue shoes. She also has a moon crest logo surrounded in black fur on her flank. Her name was princess Luna. “Tia, thou are worried too much, I know thou is trying to find our mother’s earring, but couldn’t she just buy another one at the market?” Luna asked from her sister panic attack. “No lulu, that earring was much more than that. It was from our great grandmother. It meant so much to her and if I don’t find it, mom is going to kill me.” Celestia said while still panicking. Then another thing pop in her head. “What if she banished me, or puts me in a dungeon, or banished me and put in a dungeon, what if.” ..SLAP.. “ow Luna why did you do that?” Luna slaps her sister in her left cheek. “thou need to calm down sister.” Luna said as she took a deep breath to continue. “I will help you look for it.” Celestia look at her sister with hope. “Really Lulu, thank you.” Luna nodded. “No problem sister, if we could think really hard from where we start to where we place it back I am sure we will find mothers earring in no time.” Luna said. “what’s this I hear about my daughters losing my grandmothers earring.” A voice called out. Celestia and Luna froze with fear knowing whose voice was that. There in a doorway was a tall golden alicorn with a sparkle mane and tail that starts from gold to midnight purple. Same thing on her ankles and shoes as well. She also wears a golden crown with red rubies on them. Same thing on her golden collar. For her mark on her flank, she has a swirling galaxy. Her name was queen Galaxia. “Mother, its not what it looks like.” Celestia said in fear. “Really, because it looks like you were trying to find my other earring from my grandmother that she gave me on my birthday when I was few years older than you.” She said in a not so thrilled voice. “Well... you see… I …sigh… I’m sorry mother, I know how much they mean to you but, they were so pretty I just want to see how I look like with great grandma earrings. I sorry I lost one of them, I hope you not mad at me.” Celestia said “Well, I am a little disappointed, but I understand where you’re coming from.” Galaxia said. “Wait you do?” Celestia asked. Galaxia nodded her head in agreement. “Yes sweetie, I did the same thing when I was a little younger than you.” Galaxia said. Celestia was surprised to see her mother did the same thing when she was young. “However, if you want to wear my grandmother’s earring all you got to do was ask ok. Do you understand Sweetheart?” Celestia nooded “Good in the meantime.” Galaxia said while using her horn to grab the earring that was under Celestia nightstand by her bed. Celestia and Luna were surprised when both there mouths dropped. “How did you, when did you.” Celestia couldn’t find the right words, while there mother giggled. “Like I said, I did the same thing when I was little, my grandmother put a tracking spell on it so me, or in this case YOU, doesn’t lose it again.” Galaxia said Celestia and Luna both sigh of relief and smiled. “I am glad that you have found it, and I am so sorry for losing it mom” Celestia said apologizing her mother. “It’s ok Tia, I know my grandmother would be happy for you to wear her earrings, and I know how much you want to look your best, especially my two beautiful princesses.” Galaxia said as she come over to her daughter and give them a big hug. “Thanks mom.” Both Celestia and Luna said. “You’re Welcome, Girls.” Galaxia said with a smile. Suddenly the moment stops when they heard thunder in the sky, when they look at Celestia window they see a swirling cloud above the market area. Celestia was about ask her mother what was going on, until she sees a figure coming out of the cloud and onto the ground hard. “Guards” Galaxia ordered her personal guards to see what’s the commotion. “Yes, your Majesty, what’s wrong?” one of the male guards asked. “Tell my husband that a storm appear above the market and a figure fell from it. Also get the others guards to grab Starswirl and a doctor. We don’t know what creature that fell from the sky, but it could be also injured.” The guard Saluted and left to find the two. “Mom, can we come, we want to make sure it isn’t hurt.” Celestia said worry for the creature. “Yeah, mother please, we promise we won’t be in the way.” Luna said who is also worried about that creature. Galaxia sigh “Alright, but you are to stay right next to me ok.” The teen girls nodded in agreement from their mother decision. then they took off to the market. Who ever this creature is I hope he or she is not a threat?
