Forest Frolic had happily agreed to accompany Shadow and Light Fire home from the Hearts and Hooves festival at Sweet Apple Acres. She didn't go into town often, so she felt it would be a nice excuse to visit ponyville as well as talk a little more with her new-found friends.It just so happened, however, that another pony new to Ponyville came across their path. An elderly but robust vermillion unicorn wearing somewhat formal gentlecolt garb apporached them, his brow deeply furrowed. His gold gaze peered through square spectacles at Shadow Fire's unique wings. When he spoke, it was in a deep, gravelly voice that seemed unused to being kind. "You, there," he called to Shadow, nodding toward the purple stallion. "What manner of wings are those? I've never seen the like."

 Shadow glanced at the unicorn and looked down. "these are..." he paused not sure how to answer as he looked to forest. "uh, there prostatic wings, sir." he smirked nerously. "my perents made them for me, cause, my wings don't have feathers.." he trailed of not caring about what he said, turning to light fire he smiled. "im sure you can find your way home lil light." he said ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________  light looked at Shadow. "please, don't let anypony push you around big brother." light said as she began to walk off looking back at her brother with worry

"...'Prostatic'?" the unicorn repeated with a raised brow. "I think you mean 'prosthetic'," he corrected the other impatiently. "And what do you mean your wings don't have feathers? Are they leather or something?" he wanted to know.Forest Frolic frowned a bit, unsure of what the big deal was, but looked over as Light Fire began to head home. "Wait, Light! I'm not sure you should be going alone," she called. "Um...why don't I go with you? Shadow, is that okay? You and I can meet up later." Maybe he would be done talking to the rather rude unicorn by then.

Shadow smiled at forest. "that will be fine..." he said going up to forests ear to whisper. "I plan to be far away from him soon anyway." shadow said as he turned his attention to the rude unicorn." you want to see, fine, ill show you what I mean." shadow said as he undid his straps and took off the wings stretching his featherless wings out as he placed the contraption down. "there, you see, featherless wings, a condition I was born with." he said glaring at the unicorn, thinking rolling his eyes he looked at the unicorn. "is there any other questions you want to ask, or any more witty remarks, cause frankly im not in the mood to be made fun of right now." he said harshly, obviously not understanding the unicorns true intent.

"A-alright..." Forest acknowledged, sounding a little uncertain."Hmph! What in Equestria's name did you do to make them like that?" the unicorn demanded. "'Born with', huh? And just what condition is that? I've never heard of such a thing. And what in the world possessed your parents to make you wings of metal? As if one could fly with metal wings!"
The older pony raised a brow. "'Made fun of'?" he repeated. "Ridiculous! If I were making fun of you, you impudent little upstart, you would know it. Are you in the habit of talking back to your elders?! Is this how ponies raise their young these days? Shameful!"

Shadow's pupils went small as he stepped back. "How dare you, if had to take care of my little sister, by my self if I might add, after my parents vanished several years ago." he said stomping a hoof in the ground. and besides I don't know how They made them, but I can still fly like any other Pegasus out there." shadow said as he placed it back on. "you have no idea what it is like to take care of a little sister on your own after your parents are dragon napped, do you?" shadow said walking up to the unicorn and taping his chest with a hoof, as if making a point. "life isn't always fair, as you can plainly see, now if you don't mind, if got things to do." shadow said as he turned and began to walk away, waiting for his response, which he was expecting a witty remark.

"How dare I?!" The unicorn snorted. "Your past doesn't excuse your behavior, youngster. Tch, obviously those parents of yours were good for nothing if they didn't teach you manners before they left. What kind of pony leaves their youngsters to fend for themselves, anyway? Absolutely abhorrent..."
Making a face, the elder pony raised a brow and regarded the wings. "Doubt it. Metal weighs quite a bit. It would take some miracle or magic for those things to fly, so unless your parents imbued them with such, I don't see how you could get airborne."
"No, not really; and I wouldn't care to, either," he answered in response to Shadow's comment about taking care of sisters. "Wait...'dragon-napped'? What on earth does that mean? They abducted a dragon?" His face contorted in annoyance and confusion. When the pegasus came up to him and tapped his chest, however, his gold eyes narrowed behind his spectacles.
"...Don't. Touch. Me." he warned in low tones. "If you try that again, youngster, I promise you I will make you regret it." The unicorn's body tensed as he grumbled. "Turning your back on someone who's talking to you...the nerve of equine these days..."

Shadow looked back at the unicorn. "by dragon napped I mean they were most likely killed by dragons, though I refuse to believe this." shadow said as he turned back to the unicorn. "I've had a hard life, most ponys, if not all, only confront me to tease me, im sorry if I misjudged you, but you have no right to question my mothers enchantments." he said as he jumped into the air his wings flapping as if they were the real thing, and he was hovering at least 6 feet off the ground. he glided closer to the unicorn, flapping effortlessly, as he looked at him. "I maybe a Pegasus, but you won't find a finer blacksmith in town, though I never got to do what I wanted to." he said looking angrily at the unicorn as he tossed a newspaper clipping from several years ago about a stallion and mare vanishing shortly after the dragon migration. "now is there any other questions you have for me, or am I free to leave your lordship." he said rhetorically as he landed and began to walk away again, fed up. ((ooc: XD cant wait to see were this goes))

"Firstly, that wouldn't be 'dragon-napped', that would be 'pony-napped', as the ones in question are ponies," the vermillion unicorn stated crossly. "Secondly, abduction doesn't mean murder, so next time, be more specific. If you refuse to believe they were killed by dragons, then why even suggest it? Unless you mean you think that's what happened but you'd hate to admit it."
He rolled his eyes. "Everyone thinks they've had a hard life, hot-head. Boo-hoo for you. No one cares. I can question whatever I want; it's how I learn things." Watching as Shadow took to the air, the older stallion studied his false wings closley. "Hmm...interesting. Is that so?" he muttered, in response to Shadow's claim of his work as a blacksmith. "And what was it you wanted to do?"
Frowning as the newspaper was tossed his way, the elder pony stomped a hoof to the ground in order to keep said paper steady enough for him to read and so it didn't blow away. "This is ludicrous. So just because your parents went to go see dragons migrate, you automatically think said dragons decided to murder them? As if they wouldn't have anything better to do," he growled. "Maybe those parents of yours just got lost. Ever think of that?"

Shadow rolled his eyes. "the, official story that the guards of canterlot decided on was they were killed..." he said not looking back as a single tear rooled down his cheek. "and I don't care what its really called." he said when he asked what he wanted to do he let out a sigh as he lowered his head looking to his left he saw an open flame, blinking, the flame leapt off the torch and hovered next to shadow. "I've always wanted to be a firefighter, ever sense I discovered my talent and cutie mark." he said as the fire floated over to the unicorns face, it didn't feel hot though, it was luke warm, but just like that the fire fizzled and died. "you see, I can control fire with my mind, like it was a physical object." he said turning to look at the unicorn. "you can tell how useful that would be for containing forest and house fires, but I could never get the chance to train, because I had a sister to take care of, and the family business to run..." he laughed at his misery as he sat down, for the first time his feelings was surfacing." all the other ponys get to do what they love, but me, I'd might as well be a blank flank." he said, telling himself to never give up. ((ooc: XD cant wait to see were this goes))

"Well they weren't there, were they? So what do they matter?" the unicorn asked in reference to the guards.
He blinked at the little bit of flame, drawing back a bit when it floated in his face. "Pyrokinesis," he answered. "I thought only unicorns could do magic like that. But whatever," he grumbled. "If you want to be a fire fighter, then you should be. Simple as that. Have someone else look after your sister if you're so worried about her, but I don't know what could possibly happen to her in a town like this. And I don't know what obligation you feel you have to your 'family business', as your family obviously didn't feel any obligation to you, running off on you like that."

Shadow sighed. "they were only suppose to be gone for 3 days." he said as he shook his head, closing his eyes. "and im not going to stoop to there level, im going to take care of her, as simple as that." he said his ears suddenly perked up when he heard the word pyrokinesis. "only unicorns can make fire out of thin air, I can only control fire that already exists." he said as he got up, and turned to the unicorn. "so is there anything else?" he asked. as he put a hoof on his leg (like the picture)and smiled. "im sorry for yelling at you, if it means anything." he said as he let his wings fold onto his body

"Stoop to...whose level? Your parents?" he asked. "Well I don't see why you can't bring her with you. It never hurts to have a second set of eyes when you're looking for something. Or, in this case, someone." Shrugging at the mention of the fire abilities, the unicorn still seemed doubtful, but didn't question it. "It's fine," he stated. "But you shouldn't complain to others about what you want to do when you're the only one who has the power to do them. If you want to do something, do it. You always have a choice."
