Chapter 1: Death of a Flower
	Skar could only watch is his mother's casket lowered into the ground. It seemed as if this was such a cruel fate for such a kind hearted mare. In the back of his head he was blaming his father for mother's death. His father was away on a trip for month while he left him to take care of her. But he also blamed himself. He thought to himself, her death could have been prevented if father was there taking care of her too, but then again why wasn't he able to save her himself. Thoughts clashed in his head of anger and sadness. His mother was the only one that truely loved him in his family. His father shunned him and didn't treat him like his son, and his brothers and sisters bullied and made fun of him because he wasn't a Unicorn. Skar watched as dirt filled the grave. She's really gone Skar thought to himself.
	"Heh, sad really." A deep and rough voice declared. Skar turned around to it. It was Skar's father, Red Diamond. "Too bad you couldn't do anything about it." Red Diamond was a full-grown pony. His fur was brown and mane was a dark red.  His eyes were black. His presence was very intimidating.
	"How dare you! She died because of your neglection. She loved you, and all you did was use her as a trophie wife. I'm ashamed to even call you my father!" Skar yelled. Everypony around them looked at them, hoping for a show.
	"Ha, I wouldn't have even made a difference. She was in your hands, and you let her die. This is your fault, Skar." Diamond decalred. Skar's eyes widened. "Yes go into denial. This is all your fault you filthy dog."
	"No... it's not my fault... I... I did all I could." Skar said unassured.
	"But I guess your efforts just weren't good enough." Diamond insulted. Skar finally snapped with anger, lunging at Diamond, but Diamond only smacked him to the ground. "Still weak as always. I'm the one ashamed to call you my son. You were a mistake and should have never been born. The only reason you stayed at the Diamond Manor is because of your mother." Skar got back to his hooves. "And now she's dead, so don't even bother coming back to the manor, the guards won't let you in." Skar stood there, but was too afraid to attack again.
	"We have to go honey, We've got a party to attend." A mare declared. It was a full grown white mare that approached Diamond. Her fur was pure white and mane was faint pink color. Her eyes were a bright blue. "What's keeping you?"
	"Just some family obligations, but I'm all finished. Let's get going." Diamond declared as he turned his back to Skar. He then trotted away. The mare giggled, as she followed behind Diamond.
	Skar sat at his mother's grave for hours. Everypony had already left. His life had just been broken. His mother was gone, he no longer had a home, and his heart had been torn. Skar looked up at the sky.
	"Why did this happen to me? Why does life have to be so cruel?" Skar asked. He got to his hooves. "Can't spend forever here, but I have no where to go to. Guess I should just head for Ponyville. Maybe Serenity can help me out." Skar turned away from the grave, but turned his head back to it. "I'll survive mother, don't worry about me. Just rest in peace." Skar looked up at the sky again. "Just look over me up there." Skar then headed down a path and left the graveyard.
