2: Knighthood
The time had come all the training all the sweat all
the pain had led to this one point in time he, had passed all the training all
the test’s with flying colors he was a perfect as far as the training officers
could tell. He was not alone he was in a
group of 20 other pony cadets all including him were Pegasus
he was top of his class in all categories fitness, brains, flying, basic weapon
training, the last one he was most proud of never held a weapon in his life but
he was a natural his training officers
had told him. Now the time had come for him to end his time as cadet and
become soldier funny to think just a year ago he was running on the foreshore
now he was to become soldier and because he was a Pegasus he would become a
Knight of Equestria most pony’s wished they had magic not him unicorns
can keep their magic there was not a thing in the world that could compare to
the trill of flying, the group of 20 ponies were standing on a parade ground in
front of their friends and family members. Standing shoulder to shoulder as
there head training officer said a small speech when that was all done there
were dismissed and aloud to see their friends and family, he was happy to see
his mum and dad they were so proud of him for doing so well in his training and
now he was going to be Knighted his mum was crying tears of pride. Then the
head training officer call out lifting his voice over the crown so that all
could hear him “OK you have said hello now get back over here!” He made his way
back into formation and followed the
group into the building behind the parade ground when the doors shut the head
officer said “Now you have graduated there is one more thing you must do you
must choose one of the following the roles become one of princess Celestia’s
royal guards and thus the day guard or…” Just then he was cut off by a voice
from the shadow in the corner, from that shadow out came a lone pony he was
different from the others. His coat was a dark grey and the Armour he wore was
not the golden plate worn by the other officers his was one of dark purples, and
was not as smooth as the others his Armour ended in sharp spikes. The crest on
his helmet was not made of horse hair it was one solid piece and looked like a
crest of a sea serpent, as he cut off the other pony and began to speak. “Or
you can join Princess Luna’s royal guard and thus become the night guard” The
thing that court him out about this new pony was not his Armour but his eyes,
ears and wings they were different than the other pony’s in the room more like
a bats. He just looked at them eyes wide then the order came to stand in a line
the one in the golden Armour began to speak again “You all must make a choice
all those that wish to join the day guard step forward and all that wish to
join the night guard step back choose now!” In one motion the whole line
stepped forward all but one most of the line looked back at the pony that had
stepped back. The bat pony smiled to himself and walked pasted the others to him
standing face to face with the young Pegasus and said “You
think your good enough to be part of Luna’s guard it’s not as glamorous as the
day guard people treat you differently to the rest, and you will have to change
in more whys then one to join out ranks seen your report the best this group
has to offer still what to join”. He had done it without thinking he did not
know why he had done it but it felt rite to do it what would mum and dad say, he
shook the thoughts out of his mind and said “I want to join the night guard
sir!” The bat pony smiled again and looked at the line of ponies saying aloud
so all could hear him “Only the best fill our ranks many aspire few attain” and
with that he led the young stallion away so that he could tell his family.
As
they were walking the bat pony said “You will have to change you know hope you
like having fuzzy ears” The younger pony just looked at him with a puzzled look
for a second, when he had told his parents they were shocked and asked why he
just said he did not know just that it felt rite and said goodbye to them
giving them a kiss before he left. The place he was brought to was Canterlot
castle the sun was setting by the time they got there as they both landing on a
balcony the bat pony looked at stallion with him and said “when you go in bow
and only speak when spoken to are we clear on that” he nodded, and they entered
the room as soon as they walked in they were greeted by no other then Princess
Luna herself. They both bowed she bowed back and began to speak “So this is the
one that wishes to accompany us as our royal guard is he not?” Her tone was
soft yet it carried unmatched authority with it the bat pony gave him push so
that we was in front, he was feeling as if some pony had punched him in the
chest but he managed to say “y..yes your
royal highness” in a somewhat low voice. She smiled as she said “What joy that
another pony wishes to be become a guardian of our person and of the night come
step closer to us and we will begin.” He stepped closer to Princess Luna and
she move to him her horn began to glow before anything happened she said “This
may hurt for that we are sorry” and she began, her blue magic covering his body
then he felt it, it was was like a thousand knives were been driven into him. As
his coat darkened and his body began to change his wings became like a bat’s his
ears grew tuffs of hair on top of them his eyes changed to a golden yellow the
pupil of his eye became like a cat’s, but the most painful part was when his
two upper teeth and two lower teeth began to grow they looked like a dogs canine
teeth but longer and sharper. His mane and tail became a dark rich purple Luna
seeing that he was in pain and holding back the urge to scream she moved in
closer and tried to calm him knowing that this was painful by saying in a soft
voice “It will only hurt for a moment out loyal subject.” A few moments later
it was done he felt weak thought he was going to be sick pain was all the he
could feel in his mussels, as he tried to stand his legs gave out and he fell back
to the ground Luna said that this was normal and that you should rest and that
she would Knight him tomorrow. Just as she was going to leave she heard a noise
she turned around to see her new guard he gritted his teeth and forced himself
to stand pushing through the pain till he was standing legs shaking, she moved
to him a surprised look on her face “Dose that not hurt?” She said to him he
just looked at her sweat coming off his forehead knowing he could not stand for
much longer, the pain increasing second by second he managed to say through his gritted teeth “Please your highness
do it.” She looked at him up and down for a second before saying the words “We princess
Luna grant you the honor of knighthood and we welcome you to our royal guard,
you are now a knight of Equestria your new life starts here our loyal subject.”
Placing a hoof on his shoulder as the last words left her mouth a soft smile crested
his face he did not even feel her hoof on his skin he was numb, as she took her
hoof off and walked away he said in a low voice “Thank you” she looked over her
shoulder and said with a smile “Your welcome” as she left the room and only
when he was shore she was gone did he give himself the luxury of passing out
from the pain.
