Hellfire is tired of his life and thus shall ditch his title king of rock and begin again.
A pony awakes one moring in the realisation that he has ruined his life.
New tides
Hellfire sleeps dreamless in his bed, exhausted from the night before. The suns light crept over his eyes slowly burning them open. The pitch black unicorn groaned in discomfort. He slowly opened his eyes returning to the waking world. He scanned his room, through blurrly eyes we could make various expensive objects and tinkrets. He looked over to his clock.
2:30
He mubled under his breath before rising for under his sheets and heading down stairs. He slowly walked to his kitchen where his servants had had prepeared his lunch. He had always been grateful of his servant's and their hard work as he knew how much of a trainwreck his life would be with out them. As he sat down at his table his head servant Shiny Shoes, a blue earth pony wearing a white overcoat unfiorm walked in. Most ponys desiped Hellfire's very existance but not Shiny Shoes, he had worked under his master for a long time and saw past the lie that the press had drowned his life in.
"Today's paper Sir"
"Oh yes, I might as well see what they have wrote about me, not that it will be anything good"
The paper contain a rather negative article concerning Hellfire's actions including a statement that he had punched Prince Blueblood in the Jaw and sent him to the Emergancy room.
"Master hellfire may I-"
before he could finish hellfire interupted
"Please use my real name when adressing me directing me directly"
"Sorry master Ryan, I just wished to inform you that your mother sent you a letter today"
"Oh, did she now"
Ryan hated his family. He was born into the most high class family in equestria only transcended by the royal family. He had been chosen as the heir however as a filly realised that was not the life he wanted or would ever want. However there is one thing that he took with him; his name King in accient equestrian. To prove to himself that he could be who ever he wanted to be. Hellfire was just a stage name to accomidate his posstion as equestria's king of rock.
"No doubt the letter will just be expressing my mothers feeling's of disapointment and how she wished that I would rejoin the family?"
"yes sir"
"well maybe she's right?"
This came as a shock to shiny shoes his master had never doubted his own views due to his mothers.
"Calm your fears, I don't want anything to do with my family no, but maybe it is time to start again?"
Shiny shoes realised the theart to his job.
"But master you can't just go and start again, I mean your famous all across equestria"
"yes but only as Hellfire, look Shony Shoes I can understand your concern for your job but I cannot live life like this"
As much as Shiny Shoes wanted to disagree with his master, he knew his master was right not only that but his master was his friend and treated him with respect. It would be wrong to have him carry on his life.
"So what will you do Sir?"
"well i'm not the most organised of ponys however I think i'll goto some small town where no one will ever find me ever but first and foremost I think I will write a big cheque for my staff"
Shiny Shoes had to use all his professional training to stop himself bursting out into a laughing fit.
"Why thank you Sir i'll inform my college's"
The giddy pony hastly left the room to spread the good news leaving Ryan alone with his thoughts. Though he tried to think of what he would need to get done but inventably his mind wandered off trail into daydreams. Eventually he was interupted by Shiny Shoes returning to the room.
"Oh your back, was the news meet with... oh what shall I say mixed results"?
"actually no, They where all quite happy oh I forgot to mension would you like to prepear a statement to the press"
Ryan lifted his head up
"yes, tell them they can all go Buck themselfs, and can you throw my red contact lense's in the bin I would be needing them anymore"
"yes, but would ponys not recognise you anyway"?
Ryan's gave a glare as a answer
"Do you really think I have'nt thought that through"?
Editor notes:
Firstly I would like thank you for reading this and would also like to to assure you that later chapters will be longer and that chapter will contain some non-oc ponys.
King nothing
Twilight Sparkle had finished one her most intense study marathon's that she had ever endured. She looked around her libary, their where books she had left lying around; even though she was extremly obsesive pony and despite being advised upon the matter multiple times on the subject she had never been able to read one book at time. She looked at the mess overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of the mess that surounded her. "Why does spike have to be out"?
The more she looked at the mess the more it seemed to get worse, however her trail of thought was distracted by her stomach moaning. "looks like this will have to wait, cuz I know I can't think straight I'm hungry"
"Twilight you should'nt talk to yourself, it's just wierd" Twilight turned around to see a short purple dragon standing in her doorway holding a bunch of scrolls and quils in his claws. Twilight immediatly turn her head shying a way from rhe dragon.
Spike looked around at the mess "um...Twilight what happened in here" At that moment turned her head back towards Spike with a wolfish grin." Well Spike, since you find it wierd that it talk to myself I'm going out for lunch, which unfortunatly that means you have tidy this up mess,oh well see ya later" She then gleafully trotted passed the stunned dragon
.
Ryan had just finished his last press conference "well that could of gone better" He had just stood up to a painfully long press conference and toturous questions of repoters, but in his mind he could'nt be more glad which it was over; he thought of how this was the begining of his new life, a better life. He was no longer bound by chains of the past free to strive for glory that dreamed of. To most ponys this sounded like deluded dreams of a mad pony howver he just thought what ever floats your boat. Why should he think depressing thoughts that would drag him down? He then rolled over on ground delighting in the soothing warmth of the sun."hmm...I better find a place to live" with that remark, he lifted himself up off the ground and headed off towards caterlot estate agents to go buy a house.
As he walked he mind still lingered upon the same knowledge he had know all his life, why had only know decided to use it. This thought was met with the same arguement that he had with himself all day. So he decided that to stop himself from driving himself insane with a pendulum that was currently his mind that on way to Canterlot Estate Agents he would get himself some "Ice cream". He acidently blurted this out loud causing multiple pony's to stare at him which in turn caused him quickly leave the scene.
Twilight Sparkle stepped into Sugar Cube Connor only to be immedatly called for by her friends. Pinkie pie was serving blueberry muffins to the ravenous ponys immeditaly they gobbled up the muffins expect for Rarity retaining her manners despite her apitite. Twilight sat down at the table .All of them with mixed looks of distain and happiness upon their faces. A breif moment of silence Rarity spoke:
"Oh twilight you'll never guess what somepony has gone and done"
Though twilight was no gossip pony she was interested by what might of happened to cause her friend to act so strangely.
"Well you'll have to tell me then"
Twilight said with a smile upon her face amussed by her own logic.
"Hellfire has annouced his retirement, it good to know that ruffian" The word rolled off her toungue in disgust "will stop making that trash that he call's music"
Applejack was quick to contradict her friend " That maybe so, but hes gonna always be more of an um... what' d'you ma' call it aristcat than you. Rarity gave Applejack a scornful look however it was ture, but then apple jack was'nt the element of honesty for nothing.
"yes but still dosen't it seem wierd that such a well... I don't quite know what to say to describe him, well is it not a tad wierd that he would just drop everything for no reason" though rainbowdash had a valid point the rest of the ponys at the table where to surpised at seemly overly intellgent coment from rainbowdash
"I mean would give up such a super duper party life for no reason, thats just silly" Pinkie Pie then drunk a litre bottle of lemonnaide. "hmm... needs more sugar" Instantly Pinkie Pie sprint out of the room.
Ryan had just finshed a trip from the spa. Now with a pristine white coat that was his natural colour and also he had changed his mane from black to red, he sighed
"who changed knew changing your colours could take so long now what else is their to do" He stressed his mind for things that he needs to do, he knew that he'd forgotten something however had no idea what. For a moment he resented that he had fired Shiny Shoes before rembering that he needed to inderpendant.
He looked at his watch. The time on it confirmed to him, that whatever it was that he'd forgotten was now neglible. The train was leaving in half an hour his new life was waiting...
