Humble Hymn

Right, the awkward idea of a love duet between two stallions....I will have to admit that is...maybe just a little bit...awkward for me.. Nevertheless I shall try what I can to make a song for you. Though I will need to know a few things: You gave me some information of the two ponies, is there any more I should know of? Is there any information of the relationship between them I should put in the song, or do I make that part up? Is there anything else specific you wanted in the song? I already did a request for you, but you still made a second one before the two others who requested, so I'm conflicted between who's request I should work on first. Does it matter if I work with the other requests first if their song might be easier for me to make, or would you rather I work on yours since I did try to put it off? I'll ask for more if I think of anything else.

@@sonicdashie, I should probably say that you're the most contributing requester I had so far. Like with your drawing for the music background, the updates you wanted on the song, and the music ides we went back and forth with, so sorry in advance if all the hard work you're putting into this song goes to waste because of the terrible work I might put into this song.... sure. Is there anything specific you want added or anything important that I should know of? Something Hawaiian? jk (unless that's what you want and I could attempt at)

Well I'm not an artist, but I think it looks very good so far

"oh no, really?" Humble replied sadly, "I sure hope Kaymen is okay." he started to worry, "You don't think that the shadows could've...no,no I'm sure he's fine. He'll be found once this is all over. Though he has been through enough. He did suffer that concussion of his earlier, which looked pretty bad. I didn't happen to cause any problems when I helped wake him out of it, did I?."

Well...I haven't exactly started on it yet, as I'm still waiting on more information about LS through your RP. Though I could have at least thought of something for how the song goes by now...sorry, I'll be sure to find a way to make it work out.

@@Littlecandylulu903, "And you..." Humble said happily in response, "You're selfless and brave. I feel like you're somepony I can learn from, with not being afraid to look more at myself and what's around me, inspiring myself to push my limits, and many more lessons that would take too long for me to tell you all of. That's something that is hard for me to do, as I tend to believe I'm the only one I need to learn from, but you shown me to look past that, just by looking at you." "As for you...When you had your "moment of darkness" that kept you from seeing the light and I shown you the way back, and when you were in trouble when you overused your magic and I went beyond my limits to insure you were safe...it gave me strength to know I could look out for another. It was as if....I had a duty towards you, one that involves proving you can be better than what you believe yourself to be. "And don't say that none of what I said about you is true, or else I'll say the same thing with what you said about me, and we'll start this conversation all over again. As much as I like talking with you, for everypony else's sake we probably shouldn't." Humble said smiling as he gave a slight chuckle.

@@Littlecandylulu903, Humble listened to what Spellbind said, as his heart dropped a little. She had an...interesting response...to the actions of family and how she's affected by it, but it was one he didn't want her to win with. "Maybe we are brainwashed to treat our family better than others, but it's only natural we care for our own blood instead of others'. We put everything we have into those we care for, blood sweat and tears, all of which make our life greater, because it is now apart of another's. From the first moment we see our child, we see nothing but the good of them, for a new future that will we take part in, and with the bad, we see nothing but a obstacle that we are to face and triumph over. With everything that happens as a family, there will never be anything to tear apart, cause there will always be a family. That why it is considered to treat others not as your neighbors, or your friends, but as your family as well. We learn so much from those in our homes that we spread that knowledge to others. We come so close to others that they become our blood sweat and tears. We look for those special, because we're always looking to add to our family. That is why all of the friends we met today, and you Spellbind, this beautiful you, have become my family. "As with your parents needing to ignore their feelings, and see you as a failure, that's not something that's possible, and you gotta learn to except that. They put so much of their life into yours, and that's not something that can just be taken back. Even if somehow they managed to only see you as a failure, I'm sure they'd treat you just like any other pony, part of the family they'd be lucky to have, even if they don't know it yet." "Sorry if once again my thoughts aren't as they should be. I tend to hide and be scared from the truth, worried that it'll change me the wrong way. So when I want to try to explain what I believe is true, all that comes up is my emotions telling me to go back into hiding. But it seems you're not afraid of the truth, while you have a strange way to say it. So it seems I need to push myself into unknown territory, to help more than what I can, for your sake as well as mine."

Following Red into the fight that Storm was in, Humble ran as fast as he could, then flew with his flute in hooves when they came up to Storm. Humble saw he was low on health, so he quickly played a song of healing over time (hot). Yellow notes danced from the flute to around Storm, restoring his health little by little. That was to keep him from dying, next humble played a long healing song to help with the much needed health. More notes came out of the flute towards Storm, and when Humble was done, Storm's health became almost full, thanks to the hot song as well. To finish off, Humble played a short song to fill in the last of storms health. Notes once again went towards Storm, and quickly healed him. The hot song was finished and Storm was fully healed, though healing that quick drained a lot of Humble's energy.

Seeing the message, Humble knew he had to do something. He was otherwise distracted to help caramel with her timberwolf problem, but knew he had to help a fellow guild member. Humble made his way out of the shop and went on his way with the others who were heading to the dungeon.

@@Littlecandylulu903, "Spellbind" Humble said with with as much confidence as he could, "Sure it's good to move out at some point in your life, let you live your own life, and let your parents enjoy a new. But that does not mean that you are burden during the time you are there. I may not know what your parents are like or what they would say now, but I do know this, the best thing that ever happened to them is you. They raised you, they looked out for, they always wanted the best for you. They were happy knowing you were there. You take all that away from them by acting like none of that mattered at all. They are your parents, and you are their daughter. Nothing is more important to them than that. They do not want you out of their lives, cause it's impossible to let you go, no matter where you may go. If they are happy you're out of their lives, it's because you're continuing your own, then one they're glad to have helped make. They don't, and never will, deserve better than you....but they do, in fact, deserve a better you." "Though I am glad to see you're willing to let your parents live a new life. That's not something i'd be capable of. In fact I would still be living with my mother and requiring her to look after me as a burden if she was......" Humble fell silent and looked to the side.

@@Littlecandylulu903, Talking about futures, houses and parents weren't something Humble was comfortable with, but knew he couldn't avoid."Well....I don't want to rush you with moving out of anywhere, and I don't mind at all that you're living with your parents or if I'd have to meet them. I'm sure they're great ponies, and that where you live now is a much better place to be than the lonely place live at..." "As with coming up with better ideas, I'm sorry to say I'm not good when it comes to planning my future, as it should be important since you might be in it. I'm sure none of this is what you want to hear me say, but I'm not really good at saying anything..."

@@Littlecandylulu903, "Don't worry, they were fine." Humble replied, with a smile. "Just know that I'm comfortable with it all and if you want to do anything like that again with me, you can...that was probably an awkward thing for me to say and for you to hear..." Humble said while rubbing the back of his head.

@@Littlecandylulu903, "Well...I think that's something I could relate to. All the time I was foolishly attracted to others, I always wondered in the off chance if somepony were attracted to me that I'd be eternally grateful and be sure they wouldn't let that go. Maybe it was a little awkward when you nuzzled me and commented about my facial hair, being that it never happened before, and that I thought your affection was misplaced, for a pathetic pony like me. Though I think those feelings were to hide the truth, with like you said, that I was truly glad somepony actually cared about me." Humble gave a smile to Spellbind. "That was something I'm glad you did, and something I don't know how to thank you for."

@@Littlecandylulu903, "Well, let me first say that my...preferences...are that of what is usually expected from a stallion like me. But I don't want to make this weird between us, as I share that same affection with you. To be honest though, this "interest" of genders that you have, is not something that I'm use to and is a subject that is kinda...awkward...for me. Although it's something I'm willing to get used to if we are giving all this a shot." "With the subject of crushes, I kinda have this problem with mares of my age. Whenever I would meet a mare, I would always have this stupid idea that I would have a chance with her, looking at sides of her I see, and thinking how that would be a part of my life. Maybe it's because I'm a love struck fool who knows nothing of the opposite gender, or that maybe I'm just a jerk thinking of ways to...I should probably stop talking......" Humble looks at the ground. "I'm sure I would have, or maybe I have, been thinking of ways to manipulate you into my life, if I wasn't so scared out my wits with the shadows and everything...."

@@Littlecandylulu903, "Y-Yeah...I,uh, I guess" That last part of what Spellbind said caught Humble off guard. Hopefully he understood her correctly, and didn't get the wrong idea. He has a decent knowledge of ponies who have a different "interest" in genders. Though he never was exposed to any such ponies, he always accepted them and their own "ways", at least that's what he tells himself. While he never believed he would ever meet such a pony, never has he expected to meet one who he had a "special" relationship with. He didn't want this to come out the wrong way but he had to be sure. "When you say you "like" both mares and stallions....."

@@Littlecandylulu903, "Well" Humble replied "I guess that makes two of us with emotional messes trying to do some good." "Also, I don't want to say your wrong on your opinions, but I think that your mother's saying is more of that those traits aren't something that can just be given to you, but something you need to choose to find within yourself and let out. Even if you need help from others to guide you to it. Nobody can teach you to change, as you already have all the tools you need, you just need to choose to change....sorry....just....I'm sorry...can't get my mind to work right."

@@Littlecandylulu903, Humble had to say something else to Spellbind. It seems she's been traveling to a dark and terrible place, a place that she didn't want to get out of. A place he knew too well of. "Well, I don't say this to others, maybe it's not as big a deal as what you're saying, but here goes....I wasn't always this pony you see in front of you. Maybe I was kinda shy around strangers and had to hold my parent's hooves, but that didn't stop me from being a real jerk. All the time I thought life was a game I could play forever. I was cruel to others, said or did what ever was on my mind and only cared about myself. In school I would get in trouble with my fellow students, maybe I would laugh at them, hurt them in some way, or run away from trouble, leaving my friends to blame. Whatever happened, if I made a fool of myself, if I made sure things went my way, if tried to make others seem smaller than me, I would only care about myself and made sure I was better than others. All the time I was in my own world, and everything else was a plaything, didn't matter what happened to them, just as long as it made me happy." "But we both know no pony can truly live like that without life catching up to you. If there were times my actions went to far, and I couldn't get out of it, I'd put myself in the worst of places. Blaming others, believing nothing I did was wrong, ignoring life itself and it's lessons, many things I'd do, all to make sure I was the one on top of it all." "But life went on. Too many factors happened, I guess I began to grow up, karma came back at me, and I started to look back for once. Before, all the time that I did something wrong, or I was told I did something wrong, I just pushed it away and carried on with my "happy life". But then, I had no one to turn to, no one to make me happy, I looked at the only thing I had....myself. What I saw was terrible. All the times I made a fool of myself, all the times I hurt others, all the dark places I went, they all finally came to light. I was disgusted with myself, hated everything that I did, and for once, blamed myself. I tried to forget everything I did, tried to run away from that version of me, I never wanted to look back at what I was." "Though I might of helped others by running, but I stopped trying help myself. I wish i was smart enough then as I am now. Cause we all know you can't run away from your problems. Trying to forget just brings back bad memories, and forgets the good ones. When ever something terrible happens, I remember myself being just as bad. When something good happens, I'm too foolish to try to believe I can be just as good. But now all I can do is run, from what I was, and now what I might be. Because I always have, and always will be, caring only about myself." "What I'm really trying to say here is, while I'm trying to believe my kindness and everything is who I really am, I'm afraid that I just do it to hide the truth. I'm worried that I only do all these good acts to try to make up for all the terrible ones I did. I'm worried that I'm not a good pony, just one who's trying to get others to like him and feel sorry for. Though what I'm truly worried about, is that the young, stupid, selfish colt I once was, is who I truly am." "Sorry if I'm not as clear as I should be with my thoughts, i did say I try to run and hide from it all, so it all becomes so....fuzzy, when trying to put them back together."

@@Littlecandylulu903, "You wouldn't be a wreck, you never were. You focused on insuring life would be better for others, rather than focusing it on yourself. With a trait like that, how can your life be wrong? Though with that definition, I guess my life isn't so wrong either, with looking back at what you said about me." "It's a shame though,it's only natural that we fight, and we all do our own kind of fighting. The bad creatures of our world fight with others, while the good ones like us end up fighting with ourselves."

@@Littlecandylulu903, "Well that's not what I've seen. You've leaped into fights without hesitation. Against that one shadow you went at, before you even used magic on it. Not to mention the way you handled yourself against all those shadows we faced at the hut, and we didn't even know about you and your magic then. I said you were great at being a pony of heart, but not yet have i said how you are a great fighter as well." "If anypony is being a coward at fighting, it'd be me. All I do is just get scared at the thought of fighting. I tried to keep a shadow away from one of our friends, but I just let it get out of my hooves and become more of a threat. I also kept Skylar from beating a shadow, just so it could get away. Yeah I have this flute as a weapon, but all it does is let me avoid fights. I played it so the others could fight, and kept myself out of harm's way. I couldn't even beat that weakened shadow you faced, just made it run away. I didn't think if it just came back angry and wanted to hurt you. I just can't handle violence, not even to protect those I care about, like you. If what you do is considered cowardly, I don't want to know what it is I'm considered to be..."

@@Littlecandylulu903, "Whoa! Whoa!....You get it?" Humble looked at the aftermath of the blast, expecting to see one of the shadows again. He then realized what it was. "oh...well....it's good to see you're ready for trouble.....You know, I'm glad you're more comfortable with using your magic after everything that happened, it's not something I'd see myself able to do. That and...your will to actually fight...."

The door to the shop opened again, and in walked Humble. He recognized the ponies already there from the other day, but couldn't remember their names. "So...uh...we're hunting as a guild today...correct?...As well as the other objectives that were planned..." he said as he walked to the side wall, trying not to get in the way. Looking around the shop he knew there would be more guild members joining, but how many more? "You...um....wouldn't happen to know the total amount of ponies joining us, would you? If you'd rather just have me count on my own....I can do that..." Humble wanted to get a good idea of the number of those he may or may not need to watch the health of. The smaller the group, the less worried he'd be of his healing capabilities. Then again, the bigger the crowd, the less likely he'll be noticed. But how would that help if he's the only healer (that he knows of). Part of him is glad so that he could feel more important to others, though more responsibility for him....Why was it again I wanted to play this game....?

Humble went off to find a new place to sleep. Sure he could see if there's still a room available in the inn along with the members of his guild, but he's not quite ready to be sleeping that close to others. Well Humble you took a big leap today....Not only agreeing to become close to random strangers, but to help some of them face some kind of horrific monster tomorrow....Don't worry, it's a good thing, you can prove to yourself and others that you can actually be useful. If it's not with your healing or whatever, you can use yourself as a meat shield....sure there's worse ways to go in this prison of a game....With that, he looked to find a vacant spot to rest for the night.

aw....he's so sad .....I love him, thx.....kinda reminds me of me. If you'd let me repay you, I can try to make a short song about an OC of yours or anything else you may want

"Yeah...well..." Humble looked down at his hooves "Brave isn't the word I would use..." Humble sat there for moment processing everything. "Sure I might have helped you Spellbind, but I panicked all the way through it. My mind was somewhere else when it should have been focused on you. If anything were to happen along the way, I'd have no chance of reacting properly. I could have placed both of you in danger. If it were anypony else it would have been better. We may have got here fine, but I just happened to be lucky..."

not really sure how computers and drawings work together, as I'm barely able to combine computers with music, so whatever you think will work out
