Hello my name is Crystal Feather and I am sixteen equestrian years old. You all should've known that already, but just in case you didn't know, that's my name and age. I was born at the Crystal Empire, but I left home at the age of ten to find my "cutie mark destiny." Little did I know that my life would've been changed forever.
I went to Ponyville and met the mane six from your favorite TV show My Little Pony, which in our world we have My Little Human. I never knew that you all were real, and you all didn't know that we ourselves existed, I thought it was all a dream when I met Katie, the human that believes that we exist in another world along with her friends, and I didn't know that she did until I actually met her, face to face.
Anyways besides the whole fandom thing between Katie and I; to explain my life I have had, it was a hard life for me. When I first started school, all the fillies and colts made fun of me because of what I wanted to do, well, all except one filly named Krypton. She was the only pony that understood me back then and what I wanted. I was so happy that I had her as my best friend; I wished that it never would end! But, all good things must end at some point.
A few days after I had turned ten years old, King Sombra arrived for the second time to the Crystal Empire, that's what my parents had told me. That was the first time I had seen Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Spike. Krypton, my mom and dad, and I were out near the bubble having a picnic when this all happened.
When the bubble had disappeared my dad told Krypton and I to run away and not to look back. I obeyed his orders, so did Krypton; but, she wasn't fast enough. I lost her that day sadly. When he was defeated by the love we had left in our hearts to power up the crystal heart, I followed the mane six to Ponyville without them even knowing that I was there. They didn't even have a clue that I had followed them there.
When we all arrived to Ponyville, I ran all around Ponyville trying to find a place to stay until I felt like coming home. For days I had tried to find it, no pony wanted me; not even a crystal pony. Until, Rainbow Dash saw me and looked at me.
"Hey kid, what's wrong? Don't you live over in the Crystal Empire?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I did. But, I can't go back. Not after what has happened to me best friend. How could I face the Crystal Empire again?!" I answered with tears in my eyes.
"Hey, don't worry about it. There's always more ponies there that are young."
"NO THERE ISN'T! No pony likes me! I'm way too different!"
All she did was smile at me. Wrapping her wing around me and pulled me close to her body.
"You know kid, you and I aren't exactly different." Rainbow Dash told me.
"Really?" I asked.
That very day, Rainbow Dash and I became friends. I didn't even get a home, but I still got a friend. I even got more friends when I went to the school there. No pony was different. I met the Cutie Mark Crusaders! I even became one of them! It was awesome!
That was also the very same day I had met Firestar! When forth grade ended, I still didn't get my cutie mark. And Firestar left to Las Pegasus.
When I turned thirteen, I decided that it was time for me to go home. I left the mane six behind; I was sad to leave my friends that I made there behind. It was even worse for Rainbow, she was the first pony that I had met there.
"Be strong Feather. You are the best." Rainbow Dash told me wiping away my tears.
To this very day, I remember it all. But you should know that I never lost contact with her.
When I arrived back at the Crystal Empire, everything was different. Every pony sparkled and they were all happy. I went to my home where I had at once lived. My mom was there and I had a little brother then. My father and Krypton both were killed in the Sombra attack.
A few days after my return, I went to my father and Kryton's grave. I sat there for three days. Thankfully my mom came and always brought me food, but still I sat there.
When I came to the sense that they were going to be dead for the rest of eternity, I wanted to do the one thing that I could do to remember them. And give them one last thing that they could do the same for me as well.
I found a block of emerald crystal and a block of krypton; still sitting up at their graves, I pulled out one of my feathers from my wing, and started carving a emerald crystal feather and a krypton crystal feather.
When I finished them, I left the gifts in front of their graves, and I trotted home. Not even noticing that I got my cutie mark.
I went back to Ponyville when I turned fourteen, and that happened to be the day that Twilight Sparkle turned into an Alicorn. That was the first time I wrote a story about, well anything. This story was going to be about Twilight; what she thought would happen to her friends due to her becoming a princess.
It was a good story, but I knew that there was more out there to write about. Thus came the fact that I was a writer.
This happened when I was in the sixth grade, but it wasn't all that enjoyable. I had to make new friends, and I made them. It was great in the sense here in the Crystal Empire, but, I didn't have very many story ideas.
But, I wanted to come up with something! I attempted one with my friends, Black Ninja, Jewel, and Vivian. That story didn't last very long. I couldn't really think about what to do exactly. I was happy that I had made some friends that year. They were the best, and that friendship lasted for a long time.
Seventh grade came and that was the year that I had met Stardella, Dream, and Regina. I knew who Regina was last year but her and I only knew each other by face. Stardella was a lot like Krypton, the only difference was, was that Stardella was an Alicorn.
I know that it's odd that Stardella is an Alicorn, but she isn't short of a Princess, or even has her own castle! She would never tell me why she was an Alicorn but not a princess. I just accepted the fact that she was my friend and would always be.
I was Regina's test monkey, which I didn't mind at all. No pony else would help her out, as what she had told me. She was happy that I was always willing to take anything. I had received genetic mutations; which she gladly changed beck to normal for me; I had been through a lot of pain, some of that I wish would never happen again.
Eight grade was the flurry of friends. I still had Stardella, Black Ninja, Dream, Regina, Jewel, and Vivian. This was the best year of my life. So many writing ideas, wonderful and great new friends, and wonderful teachers; even two that I had last school year. It was the best, that was until the end of the school year came and many of us split up. Was that the end? No.
I managed to get a hold of their phone numbers, Little did I know that I was finally going to get a phone. All through summer I stayed in contact with the majority of them all.
Now that we are up to my 9th grade year of high school. You all know about my life before high school. I look back at it now and thinkWow, why did I run off? Why did I do all of these things in life? Well, just to say, I'm quiet proud of it all now that I got it out of my system.
Thank you all who read this... It means a lot to me.
