//------------------------------// // Family // Story: King of Equestria // by Neroson40 //------------------------------// Even before he became the immortal King of Equestria, Wayvern was having a crummy life. Before waking up in the middle of a field Wayvern could only remember was his name. He also remembered that he had a very crummy nap before he woke up without his memory, but that did little to alleviate his fears. “Twi’, we’ve gotta do somethin’!” Wayvern heard voices as he woke up. “What do you propose we do Applejack?” “I dunno!” when Wayvern did wake up he saw two mares. One was a purple alicorn with a pink streak in her mane and tail and a star on her flank, and the other was an orange earthling with a cowgirl hat and blond mane and tail with three apples on her flank. Whatever those pictures were, Wayvern couldn’t remember what it was called if he ever knew it. “You’re awake!” the one called Applejack said. “There are better places to sleep than on the ground you know,” Twi said. They helped Wayvern up. “Thank you both,” Wayvern said ignoring the ringing in his ears and pounding in his head. “Might I ask where we are?” “Just outside the Everfree Forest,” Applejack said. “I’m Applejack by the way.” “Twilight Sparkle’s my name,” Twi’ said. “Who are you?” “I’m Wayvern…” He said before flinching, then, “that’s all I remember.” They looked at him with skeptical expressions. “I’m serious, I don’t remember anything else.” Twilight Sparkle seemed to get it. Nodding, she offered a solution that Wayvern did not understand. “Maybe the princesses would know you better. After all, it’s not every day you see a male Alicorn in Equestria, or anywhere for that matter.” Applejack went back to her place when Twilight said that she could take it from there. He kept the attention of everypony in the small town they were in. they got on a train and the attention was still on him. Wayvern wanted to shrink away. The attention was making him very uncomfortable. First thing they did when they reached their stop, they bought a coat to cover Wayvern’s wings. Wayvern saw two incredible princesses when Twilight took him to the throne room of Castle Canterlot. The older one looked in shock at the doorway when Wayvern walked in and took off his coat. He didn’t expect Celestia to so much as bow to him, but he certainly didn’t expect a hug from her. “It’s been so long, Brother.” At this, Wayvern, Luna and Twilight’s jaws practically hit the dirt. “Tell me, how was your journey!? I want to know every detail!” “That makes two of us.” Wayvern said. Celestia looked confused. Twilight approached them and cleared her throat. “He doesn’t remember anything,” Twilight said. “Which is why we came here, we thought you would know him… we were right apparently.” “Celestia… Why have I not heard of a brother before now?” Luna asked when her jaw came up off the floor. She looked at Wayvern, who in turn looked at her for anything to tickle the memory. He didn’t find anything. “Wayvern wanted to meet you after his journey,” Celestia said. “He didn’t want me to mention him to you, to anypony, until he got back. You were born weeks before he left.” “But if I’m your brother…” Wayvern put two and two together. “That makes me the…” The “four” he got, he didn’t really like. “King of Equestria,” Celestia finished for him. The weight of having someone else say it was multiplied.
