05/11/12(Fri)08:57 No.1863563Epic's memory of where he comes from is hazy due to time, he cannot even remember the name of the town, country or kingdom he came from, accept that it was a pony settlement far away from Equestria. All he remember of his previous life before Everfree Forest is that he had a loving mother, however he never knew his father. It was just him and his mother until the day he was taken.
The ForestEdit
When he was just a young foal, he was abducted from his mother by stratadons to be taken to Tirek at Midnight Castle, the dark centaur and self-proclaimed lord of midnight. As Scorpan and his stratadons were flying over Everfree Forest, Epic wasn't secured properly and got loose, falling into the forest. The foliage broke his fall and he survived but without any knowledge of where he was (and as an earth pony, no magic or flight to help him), the forest was like a whole new world to him. He was away from his mother, his home and other ponies.
He survived by foraging for food. He learnt the hard way that crying attracted monsters which he flees from when ever in trouble.
He eventually found another pony (first time since falling into the forest) who was going to be killed by a manticore and decided instead of running for his life, this pony needed help and it was time to stop fleeing and fight back. However he was just a little colt and the manticore would certainly kill him, but despite the odds Epic dashed to protect the pony and lunged at the monster. As if from nowhere there was a blast of colour which made Epic's attack powerful to knock the manticore down (due to the shock wave of the blast pushing Epic forwards and the Manticore down backwards). It was this victory that his cutie mark appeared, a metal shield. Since then he vowed to help all ponies who need him. |
