//------------------------------// // That fateful day // Story: Apollo // by LRGC carmine //------------------------------// 7 years ago the king of magic died his name was Apollo. Not a lot about him is known other than he brought the world to peace with his magic and ended all wars, but his body took the biggest toll. Death. His last words were. "My air will be born soon. He will rise to be better than me and save this cursed world!" Yeah right was all I could think. After the two princess took over war between the lands have been at full peek. I've seen more blood now then before Apollo died. "Well this book is crap too. Dammit I thought that this was the book I was looking for." "I'm so sorry sir is their anything else I can do for you?" "No but thank you anyways." "If you don't mind me asking what is you're name?" "Roka. But I must be going now thank you and have a good night." "Okay sir good night sir." As I walk in to the cool air of the night. I hear a sharp ringing sound around the corner. I look around and see a small sickly colt, looking for his next meal his ribs showing. "Hello their." The colt looks back at me scared. "I'm sorry please don't hurt me I did not mean to knock over the trash can." "I'm not gonna hurt you." "Then what are you gonna do then." "Well first I would like to ask you're name?" "Basil.Whats you're name?" "Roka. were are you're parents.?" "Both dead." "Were do you stay then?" "I live under a tree." A young colt about 7 or so father died this could be him the son of Apollo. "Do you know when you're father died?" "7 years ago my mother said he was a great man." "Do you know his name?" "Apollo." "And you're mothers?" "Amber." My heart skipped a beat! The son of Apollo! "Are you hungry?" "Yes I am!" Looks through bag find a sandwich. "Hear you go." He looks at me in a face of pure happiness. "Thank you sir thank you with all my heart!" "No need you are my nephew after all." "You're not my uncle!" "No i'm not but my wife is you're aunt." "What's her name?" "Anna." "Follow me I have a picture of her under my tree." As we walked along, I saw the place of ponyville were I have never been. "How in the hell did you live hear for 3 years?" "I call it luck other people call it magic." "You can do magic right?" "Yeah I can but not much." "What do you mean by that." "You see my cutie mark its a glass with chocolate milk right?" "Yes. I do but what dose it mean." "I can make anything into chocolate milk." "It's a fake it was placed their by magic to hide you." "You know this how?" "I placed it their at you're birth. To hide the one that you were born with" "That's a lie no-pony is born with a cutie mark." "Hold still and I will show you." "As the heavenly light cascades and the depths of hell rise and over take my magic, I will be stronger then even Apollo but it will cause a great power surge that will last for 10 seconds and then all will be normal." "What are you doing?" "Bolavad detox shanfoldia kono daid!" Blinding lights hit at all angles of the cutie mark, as it morphs into a picture of Stars the moon and the sun being combined in a super nova. "Wow you did not lie!" "Let's rest and I will tell you a story about you're father." 10 years ago I met your aunt. 10 years ago I met your father and mother. 7 years ago I was given a mission to make sure your rule is safe. I have spent years looking for you 5 years today. All the time you were under my nose. Now let's get to the story shall we? The day I and your father met. I was running a squad to give cover to Apollo. I was the only one to make it alive. I ran fast and hard, I missed swords and spears aiming right for me, using my magic to sink the ground below me making a bottle neck for my finale strike. I was gonna sink the battle field along with me but then Apollo did something amazing he split the nations with all his might and energy and the war ended. The famous last words are all bullshit they were to me and he said. "Roka. Take in my son and train him to fight and rule!" "I will. I will with all my life!" "I know you're 14 now but you will do great things in your life." "Thank you I will work with your son to be great like you!" "Greater than I!" "Okay I will do all I can!" "Good bye.... Roka." "Good bye old friend!" "I swore on my fallen brothers blood that I would do ask asked. As of now we grab all of your thing and go to my......Our house." "What are we waiting for then. An invite?" "That's the spirit let’s go!"
