A massive burst of water erupted into the sky. Within the epicenter of a massive lake, two figures were sparring. One was hovering above the water swinging his arms sending waves of water rushing toward the other figure. With a clap of his hands, the water separated into small droplets and shifted into jagged shards of ice. The other figure was also floating above the water. With her horn aglow, her magic forced water to shoot up and solidify, stopping the ice shards in their tracks.
Behind the horned figure, an ice copy of the other figure emerged from the water. Shooting it hands out, it attempted to grab the horned figure, only fo her to spread her wings and rush into the sky. Hovering in front of the moon, the Alicorns wings shined under the soft glow of the moonlight.
The Alicorn rushed down to the water and dove in. Looking for the Alicorn, the bipedal figure scanned the water. Immediately, he saw something coming for him, he raced away from the water. Unfortunately, he wasn’t fast enough. Water shot like a rocket towards him and latched onto him. Solidifying, it completely trapped him. Eventually he gave up and stopped his struggle.
“I must say, you’ve greatly improved. Although, there are still things you’ll have to work on My Child.” The Alicorn said as she flew in front of him.
“I know, Mother. Not even my transformation could help me against you.” Said the biped.
The biped was a Saiyan. Currently he was transformed, resting in his super Saiyan form. His ssj was, different. Instead of the usual golden hair and tail with turquoise eyes, his hair and tail were silver and his eyes were yellow. De-transforming revealed his hair and tail are naturally Snow White and his eyes were bright blue.
The Alicorn the Saiyan called his mother was giant. Her mane and tail flowed like water and had sparkles within it that resembled snowflakes. Her horn was curved and looked as though it was made of ice. It even held a few cracks and chips. Her wings were huge. Her wingspan completely dwarfed her Saiyan son. Her eyes were pure white that glowed brightly. They came off as eerie if you saw them at night. She even had a giant halo over her head which looked like a massive snowflake in the middle of two rings. The rings even held different symbols within it. The giant Alicorn well and truly looked like a goddess.
==========**********==========
Getting a bit into the twos history, The Alicorn, named Glacious, was a very old Alicorn. She existed before Celestia and Luna, she even existed before the Alicorn parents of the two sisters. Glacious was the Queen of Water and Ice. She held no subject nor siblings, so she was always alone. While the reclusive Queen didn’t really mind being alone, over time, she did soon gain the desire to have a companion at her side. As many millennia passed, she roamed the land. Debating whether or not to go out into the crowds of ponies she’d see. Unfortunately, every group of ponies she ever came across viewed the Queen a monster and hid from her. While it was bad, it only got worse after a certain event.
One night, Queen Glacious had noticed something off. The moon held a new marking on it. Not knowing what it was she never bothered to question it really. After that, the fear of the ponies she would see only got worse. She never knew why that was. Ponies young and old would throw food at her, shout at her, bellowing for her to leave. Eventually she had begun to keep to herself again, giving up on the idea of gaining a new companion. After another millennia had passed, something interesting happened.
Roaming a dense forest, which had become covered in snow due to her magic coating it in snow and ice despite it being the middle of spring, Glacious had seen something unusual. The sky had been covered in a massive array of colors. Then shortly after purple bursts of light appeared. Glacious couldn’t understand what had happened, so she ignored it. Then, a few moments later, she heard a low crying. Choosing to investigate, she saw a small strange baby sitting in the snow. The small baby slowly opened his eyes and looked up to the Alicorn. With a smile, the baby began to reach up to her, giggling as he did it. After that, things had pretty much become history.
Over the years, the two would travel around together. Glacious underwent the trials of parenthood, given she had decided to adopt the young Saiyan. As he grew, he revealed he remembered what he was, a Saiyan, and that was all. Glacious had decided to give the young Saiyan a name. Arctic. She had also begun training him once she found out he could use magic, which was a surprise to Arctic. While he didn’t remember much, he did know saiyans couldn’t use magic. As they trained, Arctic had grown more skilled with magic as well as his own power, which he discovered after becoming a ssj for the first time,pushing himself to the limit while sparring with his mother.
As the years passed, that brought us to today. The two had been exploring a dense forest when the stumbled upon a giant lake and decided to start sparring once again.
==========**********==========
“Your power seems to grow exponentially everyday My Child. I do believe, given enough time, you may be able to hold your own against me when I go all out.” Glacious said as she chuckled slightly.
“Mother, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to become as strong as you.” Arctic said as Glacious removed the ice keeping him trapped.
“Never say never My Child. Someday you could become as powerful as any Alicorn.” Replied Glacious.
“I suppose I could. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.” Arctic said.
The two had gotten onto solid ground and Arctic picked up his cloak and slipped it on and Glacious did the same.
“Mother?” Arctic said as he looked up to Glacious. “Are we ever gonna meet anymore ponies again?”
“I don’t believe that that is something we should do My Child. For other ponies most likely will shun us again.” Glacious said.
Giving a confused look, Arctic said, “Mother, what if they actually accept me this time?”
“My child, from what I can see, many of these ponies will always fear the two of us. Do you remember the time we stumbled upon that little village many years ago?”
Arctic started thinking back, he was quite young back then but he did vaguely remember that day. It was winter. The two had been roaming around when they had settled down to rest. Eventually, they realized the two of them were near a small village. A young Arctic wanted to go to meet the ponies who lived there as he had never seen any other ponies. Glacious, remembering all of the times ponies had shunned her and feared her, she had an inkling that the ponies would feel the same with Arctic. Not wanting her son to experience that, she tried her best to keep Arctic away from other ponies. Doing his best, Arctic managed to convince her to let them both go to the village to see the ponies there. Moments later, the two were rushing away from the village covered in food with ponies shouting and running them out of the village.
Arctic, while he does have a bit of a resentment towards ponies after that, he does want to give it a second try. He believes that maybe the ponies will be able to accept him and he often asks his mother if they can go find a group of ponies to try befriending. Glacious also doesn’t try to befriend other ponies as she knows they are also afraid of her. Arctic, does not know this yet, so he believes that it’s only him that they fear right now.
“I remember Mother. But maybe things could be different this time.” Arctic said.
“I suppose my child. Though, we shouldn’t risk it. Glacious said.
Suddenly a loud shout rang out. The two perked up and looked to each other. Knowing someone needs help, and despite knowing the one screaming may run away from them, the two races into the forest. Tracking the scream, the two ended up spotting a pony getting chased by a pack of wooden wolves. Arctic jumping in got between the pony and the wooden wolves.
The wolves all stared and growled, angry that some creature had interrupted and got in the way of them. The pony stopped and looked back to see Arctic. As the wolves began attacking, Arctic attacked back. After taking down five of the wolves, there was only one left. Lunging toward the wolf he dodged it’s strike with it’s left paw and with one swift kick, destroyed its head. After the quick squabble he relaxed and turned around.
“Well done My Child.” Glacious said as she walked up to Arctic. “Your strength truly is remarkable.”
“Thank you Mother.” Arctic said as he smiled at her.
The two looked back to the pony. It was an earth pony. She had a light harlequin coat, two tone mane which seemed to be in a dreadlock style. Her eyes were a light grayish purple and had a cutie mark that looked like a tree with a potion bottle resting in its tangled branches. She had on a cloak and golden bracelets and big golden hoop earring. The mare was also bleeding quite profusely which Arctic and Glacious noticed.
“Young one, would you like some help with your hoof?” Glacious said pointing to the mares bleeding foreleg.
She just stared at them. It was obvious she was scared of the two, but she did need some help and didn’t want to be alone, so she shook her head slowly. Arctic and Glacious stood on either side of the mare as they walked.
Looking down to the mare, Glacious asked, “Please young one, could you tell us your name?”
“Oh Uh, it’s Tree Hugger.” She said clearly still very unease and scared.
“It’s nice to meet you Young Tree Hugger. My name is Glacious and this is my son, Arctic.” Glacious said pointing to Arctic with her wing.
Tree hugger noticed the giant wing and flinched. She hadn’t noticed Glacious was an Alicorn. Glacious had used magic to hide her wings and halo as well as give her normal looking eyes. So, right now, she just looks like a giant Pegasus.
“Radical to meet you too. Uh, thanks for helping me, man.” Tree Hugger said.
“If you don’t mind my asking, what were you doing all the way out here?” Glacious asked.
“Oh, I was out looking for some herbs for my teacher. She sent me out to get them for a new brew she wants to try making.” Tree Hugger said as she lifted the cloak and revealed her saddlebags.
Arctic perked up. “What kind of brew is she trying to make?” He asked. He had never seen anypony make and use potions. He had been a bit interested in it and so hearing this got him a bit excited.
“I don’t know.” Tree hugger said, “she never told me what it was she was going to try making.”
Arctic and Tree Hugger had begun talking to each other more. Tree Hugger very slowly started to become more comfortable and her fear slowly started to slip away. Soon, they got to a big house. After Tree Hugger pointed it out, Arctic and even Glacious were taken aback. The house was big and seemed to be made out of a hollowed out tree. There were masks and vials strung up around the outside and glasses filled with fireflies flying around within.
“Here’s my teachers home. Come on, I’ll introduce you.” Tree Hugger said as she stummbled up to the door.
Arctic and Glacious walked up behind her as Tree Hugger opened the door and announced that she had returned.
