Ponyville, it was still peaceful. For years have I kept watch over Ponyville, keeping her citizen's safe. Celestia knows who I am, Luna does, yet the citizens don't. I remember, all those years ago, when i was just your average Earth Pony stallion. I had volunteered to be a sheriff in Ponyville, back when it was still starting. I remember it now.......
Ponyville, circa 425. A group of brigands had just broken out of jail. I went in to stop them. I managed to buck one in the face, and knocked out the others. My suit had gotten dirty, but that was no problem, I could always get it cleaned later.
That is when It all began. I had taken a nightly stroll in the Everfree forest, back then It as much smaller. I had just passed by a large oak tree, when they came out of the bushes. Timber Wolves, about 50 of them. I could pick out the leader, he as taller, and had more scars to him. I was able to knock back most of them, but, it was no use. Their claws and teeth ripped at my skin and suit. Before long, they had left, and I lay there, battered, bruised, and bloody. My face had lost almost all of it's color. That is when a voice whispered to me. "Silver, I can save your life, if only you guard this city for all of time." I recognized the voice, Princess Celestia! Y-yes, please, an-anything." I sputtered out, weakly. "Very well, but the ponies must not know your face." Celestia said. Whithin seconds, a golden aura surronded me, as I lost consicousness. I awoke, an unknown amount of time later. I looked around, and saw Ponyville. I looked at my reflection in a nearby puddle of water. Where my face should have been, there was only a white head, my silver mane gone. My suit had been repaired, and i had tendrils growing out of my back. "Well, this should give me a hoof!" I laughed at my own joke, both wondering how i could speak or laugh if I had no mouth, and why i had made such a stupid joke. Though, i focused on my duty of overseeing Ponyville, as a silent, unkown, protector.
"FOCUS!" I mentaly yelled at myself, i must always have a constant vigilance. Looking around, everythign was normal. Doctor Whooves, the Gallopfreyan Time Pony Lord, was walking with his wives, yes wives, as Celestia decreed that, since the Doctor was not of Equestria, did not have to abide to marriage laws, Derpy and Ditzy, along with their children, Sparkler, adopted, and Dinky. Thankfully, they treated their kids alright, except a few attacks by interplanatery begings and the like, but that as just a typical morning for the Whooves.
I turned my head to find....her. Fluttershy, the calm and quite loving caretaker for Ponyville's animal population, and Element of Kindness.. I know it may sound weird, by I had grown fond of her. She and I were allot alike, we were both calm, level-headed, kind, a tad bit shy, and loved animals. I had followed her movements, as she had no defence, when she rounded a corner. All was quite, until I hear a scream coming from where Fluttershy had gone, and sped off in that direction.............
