Mystery of the Hateful Heart

Long ago...4 years before Nightmare Moon...

"Roar!" Salas flew into Lucky, laughing as he tackled her father onto thud. "Got you dad!"

Lucky laughed as he held Salas into the air. "How are bud?" He sat up, holding his son in his hooves.

"I'm volkey-er..O-k-ay, I'm okay!"

"I was worried you couldn't learn at first, but your getting so much better!" Lucky rubbed his stomach. "Are you okay now? Does it hurt?"

"Not anymore...dad, it sorta tickles now." Salas flew backwards landing on his back legs and hands in the air. "My fire is voxin!"

"Violet? Really?" He asked, his left ear fell back. "What a strange color..."

"Violet! It sunise meh tra!"

"No, Salas, it is really cool dude." Lucky chuckled. "Today I need to fly to the castle to see princess Celestia. She would like to see you there someday." He rubbed his chin. "Would like to see her?"

Salas shook his head slowly. "I hurt around her...I see...." He tried hiding behind his tail. "Mihign soetol..."

"Okay, I'll tell her you said not yet." He frowned a little. "She'll be sadder if you don't come though."

"Noooogn! I want to stay home!" Salas flew into the air, flapping his tiny wings like a humming bird.

Lucky sighed in defeat, waving his hoof before flying off. He rubbed his eyes, and sniffed. He hasn't known why, but Salas was afraid of Celestia. He told him the story of his near death experience, and how Celestia help him survive his injuries. To no avail, Salas continued to hate, and fear her.

Salas, however at his young age he knew Celestia was a walking nuclear bomb's worth of energy wipping like failing snakes. Her eyes could burn metal, melting into air. Standing this far from her, which was six miles, her energy was like that from this far to him. He could sense magic in a much larger scale, and was extremely sensitive to it. No way in Tartarus he was getting near he would get any closer than he had to. He slept in the back portion of his bedroom closet to get away. He was drowning under her power.

[hh

However, now Salas has gained the ability to block his magic senses, and only feels what is right by how hot they are. He like being cold, it allowed him to stay cool with his high body temperature.

He woke up once again in his cave of warm light over a cold night. It was nearing fall soon, it had been rather nice to walk, and its been over a month since he woke up. Already Spike had confessed his love to Rarity, she said they could go eat when she was free.

That was the day Spike had grew his new stubby little wings. He completed his dream, and earned his wings. He got them by getting Rarity to have dinner with him, a not so simple task, but it worked out fine. Spike came to Salas teaching him a few things like reading, and the two became best friends, almost...brothers.

Standing up, he looked around, something smelt like fresh meat. He smiled, his eyes falling back in ecstasy. He rushed out looking about furiously. Standing on top of the cliff was Celestia motioned him to follow her. He nodded, his wings opening wide before he used them to go upwards.

When he landed on the top, he was caught by suprise to see a pink alicorn. Oh boy, he could feel harm in his heart, staring into the kind smile of a lovely pink alicorn. Her magic was pink and swirled with a rosey color. Passionate love... He thought falling on his knees, he nearly passed out from the love just from her glaze, however Celestia had panned it was going to happen after remembering a conversation she had with Salas.


1 Week 4 Days ago..

Celestia cleared her throat, catching Salas's attention. "Salas, if you could explain your, fear, and why you acted like that day when you saw me?" She asked. "Could, please explain why?"

Salas sighed. "When I was little, I couldn't control how I sensed magic-" Celestia gasped. "-I was being burned, by your magic. I felt like I was standing next to your beautiful sun." He waved his arm towards the sun watching Celestia blush. "I wanted to die...it hurt to see you, and so....I thought....I thought when I saw you there, I hadn't gained my powers back yet. I still feel you, but I only just learned how to handle your magic. Your sister's magic was easy to replicate at a much colder magic."

Celestia took her hoof away from her mouth, exhaling deeply. "If I had known, I would've helped you over come." She looked at him, right through his eyes to his very soul. "And how do you feel now?"

"Like a warm hug!" He said in a county tone, similar to Apple Jack's accent. He giggled with Celestia.

"Also my sister, and my student??" She hid her smile, looking away.

"Luna...hmmmm....Like a winter night...cool....crisp...Twilight on the other hoof-" He turned about-face looking away from Celestia. "She's on my hit list, until she has repaid her family dept of two lives and a childhood."

"I suppose there is nothing I can do to say you can hate her, but I will not hear of you hurting her." She huffed. "I also think that dept can't easily repaid."

"Damn straight!" Salas slammed his fist. "I'm still mad at you and Luna not finding me in time. I spent two weeks!-" He paused hid sentence to grunt, punching a hole through the marble wall. "In a cell, and a thousand years in a BUCKING CAVE!!" His voice roared angerly, shaking the tower as of it were a earthquake.He turned around nodding, waving his hands to the side. "So yeah, that's me being mad at you and your sister...imagine Twilight..." He rolled his eyes with a evil chuckle.


Salas caught the meat, and began to devour it like a monster. Cadence, continued to smile like a angle, and Salas's eye grew wide.

"Oh buck!" He shouted throwing his breakfast to the side. "I did it again....didn't I?" He facepalmed.

"Celestia you were right, he has it." Cadence said. "Excuse me, " She bowed to him. "I'm Princess Cadence, and you have a thing for spreading love!" She giggled. "Oh not only did you get two completely opposite mares, MARES to fall in love as you have, and you got Spike his wings..." She hugged him, Salas felt a bit of his life snap away from the assault of a 'hug'. His back popped sixteen times in a instance, and nearly had a orgasm of pleasure from his joints in his back. However it still hurt like a bitch.

One she let go he chuckled, feeling his heart race. "Oh, um...my name...my name is....Salas, Salas Strike Wings..." He said softly. "And uh...yeah, it just happened. I felt like I had to help him get her. His love was strong for her, so strong he got in a tie with me! Fluttershy and RD, that just happened..."

Cadence nodded. "As princess of love, you look like a bridge between waring  sides. YOU are the keystone, without you this She turned a 360° looking around lowly. "None of this love has happened. Because you're impossible, impossible things happen!" She giggled. "Except for Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash....that was long over due..." Looked at him longer, a frown slowly turned her smile down across her beautiful face. "Oh...."

Salas turned away, grabbing the meat. "I know, and nothing will change." He flew back down in the cave with a thud.

Cadence sat down, shaking her head slowly. "What is wrong Cadence?"

"His mind is clouded by hate. He thinks of his life as a living Tartarus, and he wants to stop burning." She sat down with her ears laid back on her head.

"Out of one look you got that from him?" Celestia joked.

"I can see love, and there the lack of it." She looked down the cliff into the glowing cave. Blinking she looked away. "Why does he sleep in that cave? He has a much safer place in Twilight's castle, or a guest room in your castle."

Celestia shrugged. "I'm not sure really, it's the first place he goes to when the sun sets." She replied looking away from Cadence. "I could try talking to him, but...he's already mad."

She nodded, stepping up to Celestia. "Let's get going aunty..."


"Please everypony!" Twilight yelled stomping her hoof on the chair. Her friends and Spike all sat around a room in a big circle. "Now, Celestia says we need to help him adapt to our life." She looked at Rainbow Dash. "He's already made it clear he is much like how Luna is. Rules were different a thousand years ago, he still thought mares couldn't love mares. Not to mention his occasional rant..."

Rarity nodded. "Yes the last one....was quite...extreme." She tried putting the right words in place. Shivering she remembered his last rant which was only a few days ago. "Wouldn't you say, he's much like Discord too?

"You called?" Chimed the disembodied voice of Discord. He snapped, flashing into existence in the center of the room. "Who's like me?"

"Oh, there's this new...creature."

Discord smiled, locking his hands to together. "The Vikrin? I've heard Celestia talk about him, what is he like?"

"His brain is like you!" Pinkie laughed. "All loko in da coco!"

The God drew closer to Twilight. "And pray tell me about his function." Discord said slyly.

"He insists of balance, it's all I know. A good deed can't go unrewarded, and same for bad deeds." Her ears dropped behind her head. "He even hates me for why my ancestor did to him and his parents."

He backed away, looking around the room. "Is this...true?"

"Hazel Sparkle, she was going to be Celestia's first student, but Salas's stepmother was first." Twilight further explained. "I haven't seen a grudge like that since Tirek."

Discord nodded, stroking his chin while in deep thought. "And, where does he stay?" He asked.

"In the cave near the Tree of Harmony." Twilight replied.

"I'll take my leave then. Perhaps, I could be of some service." Discord walked around. "I want to help him, if is like me, then he'll listen to me, or at least hear me." He snapped his fingers, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

"Now, while Discord is handling Salas, we should move onto our last topic." Twilight sat forward. "Who's going to go first?" Next Chapter: Bonus: DISHarmony Comedy Estimated time remaining: 38 Minutes
