Assalve

"...Funny what these past years did to us, isn't it?"

After beeing exhiled from his hometown for beeing an aberration as a foal, Assalve was taken in as a pupil by a powerfull mage with another outcast pony, an unicorn called Catalyss. This mage often compared the two, creating a rivaltry between them that lasted until their adulthood. When they were old enough, the mage set them off into the world for the first time, telling them to go and explore their habilities, and only come back when they've become more powerfull than him or became an alicorn.

During their travel, Assalve found the remains of an ancient pony that were just bones by now, but despite his physical state, the pony managed to communicate with them, for he was still alive. His name was Gaze, and he was cursed with immortality and wanted desperatly to get out of this eternal state of coma. They made a deal, in wich Assalve would take all of his magic in order to take the curse away and allow him to rest. Having the magic of an ancient pony would make him significantly powerfull, however he would contract the curse once he had it. Focused on his mission, Assalve accepted, and went home flying with their new pair of wings, getting there first and winning the aproval of their mentor that they seeked all their life as well as the possession of his castle.

When Catalyss came back, corrupted by crystals of dark magic, he got furious to know he had lost, killing the old man and parcially destroying the castle. Left alone, with no friends or family, Assalve now wallows in guilt while testing the wonders and horrors of their new habilities.
