Nova's Past

This is told from Nova's perspective.
"You will probably find it difficult to believe, but I come from
a very long family line of unicorns. In fact, the only pegasus
in my entire family was one of my ancestors. He was born even
before Canterlot had been founded. My parents were very, very
proud unicorns and they highly valued the ability of having been
able to manipulate the physics of magic. When I was born
however, my mother was only capable of giving birth to one
child, myself, both my parents were utterly dumbfounded that I
was a pegasus. Seeing as at the time I was born, and grew up, we
lived in Canterlot, they were ashamed to bee seen with me. They
even cast a spell on me to look like I had a horn and hid away
my wings whenever we went out in public." *She paused and looked
at the other two emphasizing the following words, "Have you
noticed that in Canterlot there are absolutely no local pegasii
residing here? The only time you see a pegasus walking these
streets are during holidays seasons or if they are royal guards
- male guards only too."
"They were so desperate to convert me into a unicorn, or even an
alicorn if they couldn't get rid of my wings; so they exposed me
to highly dangerous situations which requires magic to get out
of safely. Their first test, was placing me in harms way of a
nesting mother dragon. When I was little, I everyday they would
put me near a nest full of dragons, from which I would interact
with the baby ones while their mother was gone. I got along with
them quite well, which surprised me. I remember that I used to
play a lot with the littlest blue dragon - as well as his black,
yellow and orange siblings. They only knew Dragon Tongue of
course, so that was when I started mimicking them. Eventually I
could string a few phrases together, without hurting my throat
of course. During this time, my parents would cast spells on me
to excel my learning of the ways of Dragon Tongue. They believed
that my exposure to creatures which radiate with magical energy
at such a young age that combined with my unicorn bloodline, as
well as their magic, that I would be able to change and grow a
horn."
"Unfortunately, one fateful day, after I had visited the dragon
nest for over two years, the mother had returned to the nest
early. She was not at all impressed and starting roaring at us.
I could understand her, but my parents couldn't. They didn't
listen to me when I said that all she wanted to know was why we
were there, but they thought she was ready to eat all of us. So
they attacked her, and during the process one of her babies got
hurt. In the commotion, and blinded by her rage, she killed my
parents, even ate them as a sign of her triumph and she cornered
me. She believed it was my fault, so just before she attacked me
I yelled at her, in Dragon Tongue, as loud as I could. So much
so that my cutie mark appeared. It earned her attention, but not
her respect, so I yelled at her, in the same way I did to Bolt
last night. She stopped, and she did everything I commanded her
to do and not do. I guess due to the extended exposure of magic
from both dragons and unicorns, even as a filly I had a fully
grown dragon wrapped around my hoof. Words are incredibly
powerful tools used against dragons, so much so that when said
in the correct way, certain words can leave them in a trance.
That is why I am able to calm rampaging dragons with my voice,
and whenever possible send them into a trance and do whatever it
is that I command. This only happens when my cutie mark glows."
*She looked at her hooves.* "I guess, in a small way, I have
finally become the unicorn my parents wanted, without actually
growing a horn or casting magic. It is, however, something I am
not proud of, and which is why I devoted my life to spreading
peace between dragons and ponies all over Equestria. I hate
magic because it is so manipulative, it changes ponies, for
example it send you in an out of control rage. My parents' pride
was put before my own life." she explained calmly, "I also hate
magic because it leaves a pony OP." she added to lighten up the
mood.
