//------------------------------// // Chapter 19 the realization of self // Story: The Luftwaffe man // by Godric The Radical //------------------------------// Keep on liking Chapter 19 the realization of self Fredrick’s eyes shot open and he saw that he was surrounded by large iron bars. Fredrick gripped his head because of the pain he was feeling. There was a guard outside his cell. Fredrick was gripping his head as he stood up. Fredrick stumbled and grabbed the bars as he fell. “Sir where am I and why am I here.” The gurad looked at Fredrick and then left the room. Fredrick then said “Wait come back why am I here, WHY AM I HERE?” The guard had left the room and Fredrick was there in the cell crying to himself. Fredrick sat there for several minutes or hours Fredrick did not know, the room only had an ever burning torch on the wall. Fredrick sat there with his head in his hands. Fredrick then finally heard the door to his cell open. Fredrick saw that Twilight had entered the room. Fredrick ran up to the bars and stuck out his hand “Twilight what has happened to me and why am I here?” Twilight was keeping her distance like Fredrick was infected with a disease or was totally different. “Fredrick you are here because…errr…you do not remember what happened to you?” “No the only thing I remembered is when we were in the drawing room then I was in this cell.” Twilight got closer to Fredrick and touched his head with her horn. Fredrick’s memories returned to him, Fredrick remember what had happened and what he did. Fredrick started crying and was gripping his face. Twilight was about to touch Fredrick’s shoulder but he said “Do not touch me, I am a monster and I deserve to be locked up.” “A monster does not be able to walk free.” Fredrick walked over to his bed and sat down with his back facing Fredrick. Twilight was going to say something but she held her tongue. Twilight totted to the door and left Fredrick alone in his thoughts. Fredrick was in a wallow of his thoughts, Fredrick was angry, sad, and hating himself at the same time. He could feel the transformation happening again Fredrick was screaming and bashing himself against the bars. The guards went into the room and tried to restrin him. He was too chaotic to be restrained. Fredrick was transforming again. Fredrick transformed into the dragon born and started bashing against the iron bars. The bars broke apart and the guards were through into the air. They screamed like the traditional scream. Fredrick broke through the door and the pieces flew everywhere. Fredrick then assaulted down the hall attacking everything in sight. Fredrick was destroying statues and books. His rage was uncontrollable. Fredrick broke the throne room door and the guards flew into air. Fluttershy was in the middle of the room. Fredrick ran up to Fluttershy and roared in her face. Fluttershy placed her hoof on his right cheek and Fredrick placed his clawed hand on her hoof. Fredrick felt a prick in his back. Fredrick turned around and saw a guard with a spear in his back. Fredrick hit the gurad and he flew through the air into a wall. More guards started to attack Fredrick. Fluttershy stepped in front of the door and blocked the guards and Fredrick. “Stop all of you I am trying to calm him down but you keep aggravating him. Fredrick was breathing very heavy while he was standing there. The guards backed off and Fluttershy turned to Fredrick. “Fredrick calm down shh… shh… shhhhhh.” Fluttershy placed her hoof on Fredrick’s mouth. Before Fredrick fell to the ground he said “Fluttershyyyy…” Fredrick was carried back to his cell and was placed into solitary confinement. Fredrick sat there day in and out waiting for the chance… the chance to escape from this horrible place. Fredrick waited for that day, for 7 days Fredrick sat there waiting in his cell. On the seventh night Fredrick transformed into his other self. Fredrick burst through the bars this time. Fredrick walked along the corridors listening for any guards that would be coming. Fredrick crept down the hall to princess Celestia’s room. Fredrick chocked the guards and they fell down without a sound. Fredrick then walked through the doors into the princess’s room. Fredrick stood over her; Fredrick placed a note on her bed side table and crept out of the room. Fredrick then opened a window and shimmied down the windows. The air was cold and threatening, like it wanted Fredrick to fall. Fredrick hung on to each of the balconies until he reached the ground. When Fredrick reached the ground the alarm bells went off. Fredrick could see guards scrambling everywhere. Fredrick hid in a blacksmith shop nearby. Fredrick opened the door to the blacksmith shop and closed the door behind him. Fredrick proceeded into the middle of the room and started looking for things of interest. Fredrick then felt a sharp point be pushed into his back and he heard a low deep voice say “Well…well…well looks like I have a Dragonborn in my blacksmith shop.” Fredrick put up his hand for mercy and said “Please let me go I would like to be away from everybody so I do not hurt them.” Fredrick felt the point be removed from his back and Fredrick turned around. The figure was a Minotaur he said “I feel you before I was a mindless brute, but since I trained myself into controlling myself I have been able to live in Canterlot.” “I will help you on your quest, take this, this, and this.” The Minotaur handed Fredrick a black cloak, a map, and a short sword. “Be safe my friend” “You too dragonborn.” Fredrick walked out of the blacksmith and placed on the cloak. Fredrick put up the hood and started for the wall. o.O.o Princess Celestia’s room When the bell went off Celestia awoke with a start. She opened her door and she saw that the guards were on the ground unmoving. She turned around and she saw the note. She picked up the note and started reading it. Dear Princess Celestia If you are reading this note that means that I am long gone by now and will not be returning for a while. I want you to talk to the main 6 about what has happened and my requests. My first request is that they all know that they will never find me, so tell them not to look for me. Second request is that you will take custody for my country while I am away. My third and final request is that tell Fluttershy that she was the one that kept me going and that because of her I will be back. This decision was very painful for me, more painful than you could imagine, but it had to be done. Give them my farewells From a dragonborn Fredrick Princess Celestia finished the note and a guard said “Your highness what do you want us to do.” Celestia turned to the guard and said “I want you to bring the main 6 to me and to find Fredrick, bring him back safely.” The guard saluted and galloped out the door. Princess Luna landed next to Celestia and said “what happens now sister.” “Change… Luna change.”
