Hello young fillies and colts. I'm sure you are all here to hear a story? Well, I happen to have a story just for you. This story is a story that I repeated for years. This story is older than me, older than your parents. Generations older than you all, I can tell you that. This was way before Princess Luna was banished to the moon. This story here, is the ballad of the young half-demon, Haxx...
He was only ten years old. The young half-demon, his coat of red and his mane of a white-ish color, with a pair of horns on his head, had to go to school. His mother was really hoping for her child to get an education, despite his difference. Ten years ago, Haxx's mother worked at a club at night. She knew that bad things could happen at a club. With everybody drinking and taking strange substances, there was always a chance that somebody might go a little bit crazy. What she didn't expect, however, was that she would find a demon in disguise trying to charm her. After one night, it worked. Demons just have that suave and seductive personality that nopony could resist.
Nine months later, Haxx was born. His mother kept him sheltered for the first couple years of his life, but eventually, she let go of her protectiveness to let Haxx become one with society. Otherwise, he will never make any friends. That's something that almost every mother feared, especially this one.
"You stay safe," the mother told her young half-demon child as she helped him put his saddlebag on. The young demon didn't like wearing it, but his mother made him for he had to go to school. "I packed you lunch, and remember to ask Miss Blossom if you need anything. Alright, hun?"
The young half-demon looked up at his mother. He was slightly larger than a normal colt, but he has yet to outgrow his mother. "Are you sure the other kids won't make fun of me?" He asked her, his beady yellow eyes staring up at her. The mother stared into his eyes, sighing deeply. His eyes were just like a normal pony's eyes, but, when he gets angry, they change in a way that disturbed the mother. Luckily, he rarely gets angry.
"You'll be fine, hun. Make sure to treat others with respect, and make as many friends as you can. Alright?" She asked, messing with the young half-demon's mane. The young colt let out a cute giggle, and nodded.
"Yes mama," he answered. He turned and walked out the door, marching towards the schoolhouse with a smile. He had a few sharp teeth, which was normal for a demon. He had a pair of wings, which were menacing-looking for such a bright and young child. They were black, bat-like wings with holes scattering across them. On the underside, they were a green-ish color. Hopefully, he won't get teased for having these fangs, wings, and horns at school.
The schoolhouse was a single classroom building. A chalkboard was at the front of the room, with the teacher's desk sitting between the board and the sea of desks that filled the classroom. Haxx was, of course, a late starter to school. His mother had taught him everything he knew up to this point. Despite the setback, however, Haxx was to be put into a classroom of kids his age, so that he can get along with those like him and learn to act like a normal pony.
"Alright, little ones. Today, we have a new student," Miss Blossom announced to the classroom. She motioned with one hoof to the young half-demon who stood by her side. "I would like you all to meet young mister Haxx. Now, he's new to school. And he's a bit shy, so please, show him some warm welcomes and care." She patted the colt on the head, and Haxx gave a small smile.
A student raised her hand. The young unicorn filly's plea for attention was answered by Miss Blossom. "What's with your horns?" She asked him, curious.
Haxx took a deep breath and answered. "W-well, m-my dad was a demon," he answered, gulping. The young half-demon was a bit nervous saying this out loud, for demons were not very welcome in Pony culture, as he has heard from his mother.
"A demon?" Another colt piped up. "Your mother fell in love with a demon?" With that, the class broke out into laughter. Haxx frowned, but the teacher gave a look, and cleared her throat. This got the classroom to quiet down, and everything went silent.
"Now children," she began. "I want you to not tease or pick on Haxx for being different. He's a pony, just like you. Show him that we accept anypony in here, right children?" The class nodded silently in agreement, and Miss Blossom showed Haxx to his seat.
After class, the fillies and colts were called to recess. When all the kids ran off to their friends to have fun, Haxx was all alone. Quietly, Haxx went over to the sandbox and sat down in it, sighing. He began to play with a collection of pony dolls, obviously bored. After a couple of minutes, Haxx had gotten quite into this little play he was having. He had given each doll their own name, and started his own little family.
"Hey, Kraken. What do you want to do today?" Haxx said in a false deep voice as he moved the purple doll.
"I don't know. How about we go play a board game?" He said in a higher pitched voice as he moved the yellow doll.
"I don't like board games. How about we go exploring?" He said in the deep voice once again.
He moved the yellow doll up and down, as if it was bouncing. "But I want to play a board game!"
The purple doll let out a groan of distress. "We're never going to agree on what to do. We need somepony else to help!"
Haxx then moved the red doll towards them. "Hello there, ponies! Do you need any help with anything?" He asked in his normal tone.
"Oh, hello there Haxx," the yellow doll greeted. "Me and Corruption can't agree on what we want to do today. I want to play a board game, but she wants to go explore!"
"Well, you two just need to agree to disagree," Haxx said, looking between them. "How about this? You two take turns doing both your ideas, so that you both get to do something you want. The thing about friends is that they will never be exactly like you. That's what my mother told me."
"Oh, thank you, Haxx!" The purple doll exclaimed. "What would we ever do without your advice? You're the nicest pony ever." With that, Haxx smiled to himself as he stared down at the dolls.
Haxx was caught off guard when he heard a voice behind him. "Hey, freakshow. Whatcha doin?" Haxx turned around to see three colts standing near him. The one who insulted him gave him a look of disgust.
"I'm just playing with these dolls," Haxx answered, looking between them and the dolls.
The colts laughed. "Playing with dolls? What are you, a girl?" The lead colt kicked some sand at Haxx. Haxx let out a small scream of surprise. The sand got into his eyes, and the young half-demon began to whip the sand from his eyes.
"Aww, look at the little foal. Is he going to cry?" The colt laughed, taking the dolls. "Guess you don't need these., he said.
Haxx let out a soft growl as he stood up, tears in his eyes as he looked at the colts. "Give me the dolls back," he asked defensively, glaring at them.
"Oh, now he's mad?" The colts laughed. "What is little crybaby demon going to do? Call his daddy?" The colt laughed. "Or did your daddy leave you? Demons don't have time for little crybabies like you." The colts laughed as the lead colt pushed the young half-demon back. Haxx stumbled back a bit, letting out a soft growl of anger. "Give me the dolls now," he demanded. His eyes had changed from the normal pony-like eyes to a menacing black-ish color with yellow and green around the pupil. "Do it."
The colt snickered. "You think you can get what you want, loser?" He asked. The colt reared up a hoof, swinging it to hit Haxx directly in the face. But, he found his hoof stopping in motion, being held back by some force. Haxx's eyes were glowing, as he used his demon magic to hold the colt's hoof in place. The colt began to panic.
Haxx said nothing as he turned around to lift a spade from the sandbox. He twirled it around, and looked back at the colt. Haxx let out a snarl as he took the spade and rammed it into the kid's skull. The colt's screams were cut short as his body fell limp, dead. The other two colts screamed at the top of their lungs as they ran, the entire playground of kids joining them in the terror.
Now, I understand, this story may not be for children. That's because, it's not. This is a story to tell stallions. Because trust me, you all will grow up nice and strong knowing this. Anyways, after killing that young colt that was teasing him on the playground, Haxx went on a rampage. He went into the school, killed everypony in his sight. Including Miss Blossom. He then went through town, killing everything he could as he made his way to his own home.
Haxx opened the door to his house, breathing heavily. His eyes glowed as if they were on fire, his fangs bared as if he were about to attack the next thing that moved. His mother stopped to look at him, shocked. "Haxx! Darling! Oh, you're alright! What's happening out there?!"
Haxx snorted. "You lied to me, mama," he said angrily. "You told me they weren't going to pick on me!"
The mother stopped for a second, her eyes widening in shock. "Haxx...what did you do?" She asked slowly, backing up. Haxx continued to move forward towards her. "Haxx, sweetie, I'm your mother...stop this!" Haxx turned to pick up a kitchen knife, slowly bringing it towards his mother. "Haxx! Don't do this! Haxx!"
Meanwhile, word of the rampage got to Canterlot. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were immediately sent out to contain the young pony. They did so quite easily, for he was young and not adept in magic. Since his mother had been killed by his own hooves, they had to call up his father in order to run a trial for him.
The older demon stepped into the room. His disguised form was of a suave, handsome pony. But, he was not disguised here. He showed his demonic form, which was about the size of Luna, with full grown horns and a nice collection of sharp teeth. "What is the meaning of this?"
Celestia turned to face the demon. At her side was Haxx, who was put into a magic-bound cage so that he could not harm anypony. "Your son has murdered several ponies. Including a schoolhouse full of children and his own mother," she told him, taking a deep sigh.
"Oh, yeah?" The demon growled. "And what caused this nonsense?"
"They said mean things about you, daddy..." Haxx said softly, not daring to look up from the floor as he sat in the middle of the cage, his face stained with tears.
"Why control my son, then?" The demon snapped. "Control those ponies. Those xenophobic self-centered ponies are the reason why bad things happen in Equestria! Not my fault, not his fault! He's ten, he doesn't know better!"
"You seem to be missing the point here!" Celestia barked back. "He massacred over thirty ponies! He's a danger to society!" Celestia took a deep breath, continuing with a soft tone. "We see it fit to send him to Tartarus."
"Tartarus? Because he's a demon? That's right. Equestria, full of racism," the demon continued angrily.
"Learn to speak less or we shall send you to Tartarus with him!" Luna began, stepping forward with a growl. Celestia reached out one hoof to hold Luna back. Luna took a deep sigh and backed up a bit, keeping herself from starting any more unnecessary arguing.
The father, however, sighed and looked at Haxx. "Be strong, my son," he said softly.
Haxx looked up at his father with beady eyes. "You're going to let them send me away?"
"There's nothing I can do about it, son," the demon told him. "How long will he be in Tartarus?"
"As long as we see fit," Celestia told him, picking up the cage. "Now, return to your home. We will inform you of his release when it comes. But don't expect it soon..."
Haxx was banished to Tartarus. He has yet to be released, and the whole thing is now just a story that ponies like me could tell ponies like you for entertainment. The thing is, Haxx was banished forever. Many things have happened since then. Royalty has evolved, heroes have risen, villains have fallen, and generations were made. Now, here we are. Nopony has seen Haxx since he was banished. And we will never see him again. That's bound to happen when you're banished to Tartarus...
