Prologue

 * "Mommy? Am I different?"
 * The beautiful creamy-brown mare's somber green eyes shimmered with nothing but sorrow. Before her, a small baby-blue filly crouched, tears streaming down from her stunned pale purple eyes. Bruises lined the filly's back, flank, and basically everywhere but her face. This was not the first occasion of bullying for Blue Raven, but definitely was a new form. Frosted Dawn had been fighting the public school system in Trotundra for three years now, struggling to protect her daughter from the severe aggression from young ponies. However, their cruelty only intensified.
 * "Blu, honey-"
 * "Don't lie to me, Mom, please," Blue Raven murmured quietly. "I know that nopony likes me. I just don't want this. I don't know what is so wrong with me that I deserved this."
 * Frosted Dawn could only gaze at her daughter as her heart shattered into a million pieces. The birth of Blue Raven had most certainly been difficult, but that was only a small portion compared to the challenges she was dealing with. Her husband, Stormy Night, was never quite understanding of the social issues Blue Raven dealt with- primarily because he was just as awkward as she. Meanwhile, money was running out to take Blue Raven to her multiple therapies on a weekly basis. Somehow, she questioned if everything would be okay.
 * "I'm sick of this, Mom. I'm tired of other ponies treating me like I'm worthless," Blue Raven suddenly snarled. "I'm just going to look out for me now. Nopony else. That way, I can get by without having to cry. Ever. I'll be the strongest pony around."
 * And so she was.
