Toxic's Story: Chapter One

As a child, my parents' advice was often confusing and contradictory. On one hand, they preached the importance of treating everyone with kindness, but on the other hand, they warned me to never trust anyone, not even family. Despite my initial skepticism, I now recognize the profound impact their words have had on my life. I may have scoffed at their advice in the past, but my parents meant everything to me, and their words have shaped my personality and influenced the way I interact with others. Looking back, it's clear that the key to success in life is to strike a balance between kindness and caution, even when it comes to those closest to us.

I dream of them often, ing the good memories and fun times we had. However, sometimes I have nightmares about them; sadness, and anger overcame me during those moments. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, another day of being this; a monster full of rage and hate. I am so tired of sleeping in the forest, the only place where I am welcomed, but as the top predator. I wouldn't say I was welcomed by the animals and creatures but by the forest itself.

I wasn't always this way. I used to be a strong, capable, and successful bachelor in Canterlot. However, this also came with a price. I was always being hunted or cheated by friends and strangers alike; well, until I met 'her'. She was the absolute most beautiful mare I had ever seen, with pink and white flowing curly hair, a gorgeous off-white coat, and sparkling gray-blue eyes. She was graceful, having long legs and a fit, but slender body. I was conflicted every time I saw her, my heart longed to be with her, but my distrust of others kept getting in the way.

Her name was Diamond Heron. She was a member of the royals and one of the kindest mares he had ever met, which was surprising seeing as though royals were usually snobbish and too good for others. He had never felt this way for anyone, for him it was love at first sight. She would catch his eye from time to time and teasingly wink at him with a giggle. He knew she had to feel some way for him, even just a little.

It took him a long time to overcome his distrust and allow these feelings to show, finally gathering the courage to speak to her. He could it like it was yesterday.

"That's it. I'm just..." He let out a nervous sigh, "I'm just going to say how I feel. If she doesn't like it, I'll just accept it and move on." He straightened up his bow tie and approached her. "HI there um, Miss?"

She would turn to face him, giving a warm smile, and spoke softly, "Oh hello. Diamond Heron. Whom do I have the pleasure of speaking to?"
