Creativity for the win!

Long ago, before the time of Discord or Princess Celestia's rule, all of Equestria was split up into city-states. Every town looked for itself. They all fought over the lush land and it's valuable resources. It was thousands of years before six powerful unicorns came together and planned to stop all this selfishness and hostility. Their solution was the Elements of Peace. Resolve, courage, morality, maturity, freedom, and amity. Armed with these elements, the unicorns stopped the corruption that plagued the land and unified Equestria. After their accomplishment they gave these powerful jewels to a near extinct race called wolves. They called themselves The Pact and lived in the high mountain range called Worlds Edge, resting on the edge of pony known territory to the southeast. But, after that, they had been lost forever and their tale had died along with the ponies that lived though the ordeal. Today, they are still hidden somewhere below the surface of Equestria, waiting for a new band of heroes to reclaim them.

Brother looked in the mirror, making sure he looked good. He never knew if a pretty filly might notice him. His black mane and dark brown coat looked good. And with the help of his jet black glasses and goatee, he looked damn handsome. "Hey Mom," Brother Brave yelled over his shoulder, "I'm going to hang out with Eli!"
"Ok, be sure to come back before dark."
"Alright." He quickly opened the door and closed it. He stepped out into the apartment hallway where he lived. He turned to the staircase and saw one of the elderly of the complex. "Hello Mr. Coins," he said with a nod, continuing to walk to the staircase. The old pony looked at him and gave a warm smile.
"Why, if it isn't Brother Brave. It's been quite a while since I heard you sonny. How have you and your mother been? You been behaving well for her?" Brother chuckled and nodded.
"We've been well sir and yes, I have been good for my mom." Mr. Coins nodded in approval, content with his answer.
"That's good. I was worried I had to give you a lesson in respect." Brother chuckled once again and reached the door to the staircase.
"Alright, alright. Well, anyway, I have to get going. Meeting a friend at the park."
"You behave yourself and live up to your cutie mark." Brother nodded and went though the door. He looked to his flank and saw his light grey and yellow cutie mark. It was a shield and a cross within it. It stood out like a sore hoof against his coat. He pushed up his glasses and started down the staircase. The story of how he got his cutie mark began to seep back into his mind. He was around six when he received it.
