My Little Pony: Magical Meaning
Prologue
Our World
There are many worlds in all the known dimensions. But few share the magic of Equestria.
Equestria: a world inhabited by mythical beings. But one animal remains the dominant species.
In a word Ponies.
In this world there are three main category of Pony:
Pegasi: winged ponies with the ability to manipulate the clouds
Unicorns: horned ponies with magic, magic that comes from within.
Earth Ponies: regular ponies that share a very special connection with the land.
All animals in this world have a marking often called a Cutie Mark which depicts talents the skill they are good at.
These talents give a Pony purpose but the path for it can be taken quite a few different ways.
This is one such story.
Our tale starts long ago near the very edge of Equestria. A small village resides here.
The place is pretty peaceful, serene. The harvest is good the weather always perfect. The reason for that: all its obscene amount of rules.
Half the young ones here can barely set down a hoof without being jumped on for "trouble-making."
So often the young ones sneak away to the Forest. They knew it was forbidden but they didn't care. Most of the things they did was play Tag as loud as possible. Though lately they've kept the noise down but not for a pleasant reason.
"Tag you're it!"
"No you're it!"
"I'm it!"
The Earth Ponies and Pegasi were running around yelling in whispers, and no I did not get the description wrong there is not a single Unicorn playing here that's part of the reason they were so quiet.
Suddenly a brown Colt speaks up.
"SHUSH! Do you want IT to hear us?"
The ponies shake their heads.
"No way!" They whisper in unison.
They continue to play happily but in the shade of a tree nearby they fail to notice glittering sparkles gathering into a single point which glows with dim light in its fading place was a young purple colt with brown hair a spiral horn sticking up from his forehead.
A Unicorn.
As he watches them play sadly he clears his throat causing them to face him in surprise. They calm down though when they see its him.
At the back of the group a mare mutters "great IT is here."
The Unicorn winced slightly.
"Uh so guys you must have forgot to invite me huh? Well its okay I'm here now what are we playing?"
The ponies share a look.
"Actually Comet we are heading back to the Village now. Cya!" The lead Pony said as they walked past him some jostling him roughly.
The purple Colt, Comet stares sadly after them.
Comet's origins are a mystery. One day at the schoolhouse a teacher opened the door and found him in a basket outside it. Unicorns are... shall we say rare in these parts, and magic even rarer.
So naturally when he grew old enough, he was sent to live alone and forbidden to use his powers due to their customs.
But using magic was a part of who he was so secretly he practiced and... He didn't get anywhere with it. There was only one trick he could manage "winking" in and out for short distances.
Comet looks after the ponies and thinks mournfully why can't they accept me?
He sighs to himself then gets up and focuses causing his horn to shimmer then a burst of sparkles he vanishes.
2. Chapter 1
Here's another one of my short chapters. But I am still setting the story. I hope you like. I do not own My Little Pony.
My Little Pony: Magical Meaning
Chapter 1
Tearful Legacy
Comet winked into existence behind the school barn walking around it he headed inside for dinner. The other ponies all rambled inside freezing at the sight of him before sitting down. Once again wondering how he beat them here... again?!
Staring at the Ponies all talking happily he wished for their acceptance. But then the teacher came out and putting down their meals he stomped off.
Now the reason all the youngsters eat together is because a rule says until they reach a certain age they must do so.
Comet ate quickly then walked upstairs to his small, VERY small bedroom and sat down listeningas the Ponies walked home.
Comet reviewed his life and tears glittering at the corner of his eyes he started to cry.
The whole time he thought in his head one single word applying to most of his life.
Why?
Why did his parents abandon him?
Why did the villagers hate him?
Why did he have no one to be there for him?
"Why? Why? Why?" Comet yowled bursting into a fresh round of tears.
Night fell the moon rose and Comet's crying changed into quiet sniffles.
Comet used a hoof to wipe his tears and with the other front hoof he reached under his pillow.
He pulled out a paper thin rectangular object. A card
The backside was a solid black but on the front was what appeared to be a illustration of a discolored Pony surrounded by five balls and over him there was one big one.
Now you might wonder what this is? This card is all Comet has of his family.
When he was sent to live along Comet found out his parents had left something in the basket when they abandoned him.
Of course they didn't know he knew this so when he add the chance he sneaked into the Mayor's office and took it.
What he didn't know was that the card wasn't the only thing they left him.
Staring at the card Comet looks up the the silver-white moon and whispers that one word.
"Why?"

Chapter 2
The Deep Forest
Comet blearily open one eye only to shut it again as a ray of light hit it dead on. The light meant one thing.
It's morning.
So getting up shakily he crawled out of bed splashed water on his face and ate from his stock of withered apples and browning hay.
Hoofs clopping on the floor out he went.
It had been a few hours since then and Comet along with many other fillies were all standing at long tables in rows going threw what nearly every youngster thinks of as torture.
School.
The teacher was just droning on and on and Comet's mind was beginning to focus less on the lesson and more on his misery.
That is until he felt something lash at his rump from his side. Yelping he reared up for a second drawing everyone's attention to him.
The teacher blinked slow eyes and said "yes" in his drawling way.
Comet felt the eyes on him blushed and settled down lowering his head and managed to eek out a "nothing."
The teacher blinked for a moment before turning to back to the lesson at hand.
Comet glanced out of the corner of his eye and looked at his hitter, next to him "playing innocent" was a black colt with a red mane. This was Shadow, the leader of his peers and the biggest bully around here. He was the first to get his Cutie Mark, the oldest of them all, and he did NOT let anyone forget it least of all Comet.
Him and his inner circle of friends loved to torment the poor unicorn. Comet's misery was probably about one fourths their fault.
Comet sighed and tried to focus on the lesson.
Roughly two hours later the fillies all trotted outside the day was half over and class was now too.
Comet was the last to leave after gathering everything in his pack.
Slowly trotting out he was knocked sideways scattering the things from his pack. Looking up he found Shadow standing over him grinning evilly.
Comet whimpered fearing what was coming next.
But the bullies merely just laughed at him so getting up quickly he tried to run away but they cut him off.
He considered using his magic but that would just make things worse.
So for awhile Comet just sat on the ground and listened to them make fun of him and call him vile names.
But then Shadow took things a step too far.
"Its no wonder your parents didn't want you you horned beast!"
Comets eyes welled up with tears sadness overflowing in his heart, for about a second.
Then rage bubbled up and Comet finally had had enough.
Horn starting to shimmer, he got up on his legs and stomping his way over, a wind beginning to swirl he said "that is enough! Every day since I got smart enough to think you have been torturing me. Well enough is enough! What do I have to do to either get you to leave me alone or accept me?!" He said finishing his rant leaving him huffing.
Shadow taken back by both the magic in the air (not that he knew it) and Comet's bravery actually froze for a moment.
Then he frowned thinking.
There is NO WAY this little brat will be one of us, but his horn... somethings not right here! What can I do to solve this problem? OH I know!
Shadow smirked. Walking past Comet brushing his shoulder gently he steered Comet towards the end of town pointing at the forest and said "okay Comet you want to be a part of the group here's what you do. You know the "forbidden" forest" he gets a slow nod. "Well the stories say that at its center lies a supposedly "cursed" castle with a treasure inside. You manage to get there, get the the treasure back here and we'll let you into the group. Okay?"
Comet lowers his head thinking and then sighing he realized that to even get a step closer to possible happiness he had to do it.
He looks at Shadow and nods stunning the Colt, Leaving the black pony blinking he walks to the forest leaving behind a group of Ponies and Pegasi about to panic.
Well this isn't like anything I expected. Comet thinks to himself.
Comet had gone deep into the forest WAY past the area where the others tend to sneak off to and play.
This area... there was light but it was mixed with shadow and filtered as a green color. The trees were spacious enough but the forest floor was littered with bramble Comet must have stepped on a thorn twice by now.
He was thinking that there may have been an actual reason for keeping them out of here other than superstition and stories.
Comet continued to proceed through the forest in what he thought was the right direction.
It wasn't long before the forest grew more darker and fog swirled among the tree roots.
The tree began to get humongous and the roots at thick as a full grown colts leg, and twice as long.
Pretty soon Comet reached a chasm and peering around he found that the chasm encircled a piece of land. It was like a moat without the water.
Looking into the darkness below Comet could see no bottom.
Taking a closer look at the area Comet found a blog of gray to be seen in the distance.
His eyes brightened and in his head and aloud he said "the ruins!"
Comet smiled with luck I'll be home soon. He thinks.
Comet backed up and broke into a gallop and went around the chasm looking for a way to cross.
There was none.
Comet frowned thinking then casting a glance up at his horn he decides there is no choice.
He'd have to blink across.
Comet focused and felt for that fizzy feeling he'd always get when using his powers. Bringing it up to his head he let the power surge as he felt it swirl about him he pictured himself he here one moment... and ALL the way over there the next.
There was burst of light Comet opened his eyes and shook his head to clear the dizzy feeling and found himself closer to the gray shapes in the distance and across the chasm.
Grinning Comet took one step and felt himself picked up by an unseen force and flung across the chasm landing on the other side.
Comet just lay where he landed blinking. And taking deep breaths then getting up he faced the chasm thinking what in the name of the stars was that?
As he thought about the force that just tossed him he realized that there may have been more to the "curse" then he thought...

Chapter 3
Shadows
Comet regarded the "island" across the chasm. Some strange power was keeping him out. If he wanted any chance at being accepted by the others he HAD to get over there.
Staring at the strange place he needed to reach he through of an idea.
Standing up the colt closed his eyes and focused. He felt it, that strange feeling that pulsed over him when as he used his as the other ponies called it "curse", to be honest he never understood why they called it that. Whenever he used the light in him he felt fine, even better that normal.
Bringing the light he felt inside him to the horn on his forehead he felt the energy focus on a single point, he felt that point take hold, and then.. he let loose.
A huge beam of light shot from his horn right at the island upon crossing the ground over on the other side there was huge flash of light.
Back at the village the youngsters who had told the adults about what had happened and were working with them to panic saw the flash of light even from afar and grew concerned.
Comet shook his head to clear the spots from his eyes, he looked across the chasm... and gaped.
There was wall after wall of rippling light over there like layers of curtains or blankets.
Looking at that light he knew that force was what he used now though on a grander scale.
It was magic.
Comet closed his eyes he felt those walls of lights were there with good reason but still he needed to get across so he focused.
But this time he felt something in him change.
He felt the sadness over his lack of family,the fear over not completing this and being accepted, and financially the hatred he felt for this wall.
As these emotions bubbled up his formed changed somewhat his horn which till now had been sparkling began to emit shadows rather than light, and his eyes were emitting shadows from the corner of his eyes too.
It was darkness.
His eyes opened wide, which were reveled to glow with gray, purple, and green and he let loose one more time.
The dark beam hit the walls of light crashed into it ad kept on going. Each breaking and making a sound like shattering glass.
Comet took in deep breaths and looked at the island and gave a widen grin happiness now flooding his being at the sigh of the walls gone and only a few sparkles dancing in the air left.
Gathering the light within once more port he winked out of that spot and across the chasm.
Strolling across the grass he deeper into the heart of the darkness, never noticing the moving shadow which had slunk from the nearby tree and now followed him but not before it turned glowing red eyes to look back the way the Unicorn had come and laugh to itself.
