//------------------------------// // Prophecy // Story: Knight of Steel // by Alpha777 //------------------------------// I sat there, exclaiming to the Princesses about my world, my order, and other things that I have already explained to the others about, like about Heaven, God, Angels, and as well as my origins, events, and my order. As I finished, Celestia was staring at the BOS emblem on my chest and she asks, "What is that emblem there on your chest?" "It is the symbol of the Brotherhood of Steel." I answered but then realizes why she asked. "You know something about it, don't you?" I asked. Celestia and Luna looked at each other for a moment, then looked at me and said, "It is best to show all of you. Come." Me and the Mane 6 followed them into the forest and later came upon an old ruins of sorts. http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/1/1c/Castle_of_the_Two_Sisters_S4E03.png/revision/latest?cb=20131202132605 We went into the ruins and Celestia and Luna stopped and Luna pulled on a lever of sorts that was a torch as well, revealing a secret doorway. I've noticed that the Mane 6 were surprised at this and ask Twilight, "Let me guess, You and your friends never knew about this, right?" She nodded and we continued onward down a flight of stairs. We came upon a chamber and Celestia lit up the entire place, revealing a shocking surprise. A tanned glass window showing the very symbol of the Brotherhood and below it was....wait, me? The image of me facing some sort of dark entities and with me are the Mane 6. I even saw that the Mane 6 was more shocked than I am. I looked at both Luna and Celestia and asked, "Wha-what is all this?" Celestia sighed and answered, "A prophecy, Paladin." Twilight asks, "Of what?" Celestia replied, "In our early years, When we were fillies, our parents had told us a story about a prophesied hero known as the 'Knight of Steel.' It foretells that when Equestria is being threaten by a powerful darkness, this hero appears from a gate to his home world and defends the innocence of all. A darkness so powerful, that even the Elements of Harmony may fail to succeed. But with the hero's aid and the Elements, together they would defeat the coming darkness that stalks upon the helpless." I knew where this was going, but still could not believe it. I then asked, "Are you saying that I'm the very hero who will saves your kingdom?" Luna answers, "Not just our kingdom, but the entire world of Equis, sir knight." The Mane 6 and I had our jaws dropped from that what Luna said. 'Saving the world of harmony from a powerful darkness, I thought that was the Vault Dweller's job.' I thought. We stood there, staring at the the 'prophecy' window of sorts until Celestia asks, "Paladin Knight Vaughn, will you be able to stay here and protect all of us?" Everyone was looking upon me, waiting for an answer. I thought for a moment, then finally answered, "Where do I begin?" To be continued.....
