How Pterus got his cutie mark.
He and his sisters were outside playing with their parents taking care of some business just a bit away, thinking their kids would be safe in one of Canterlot Castle’s inner gardens. They were wrong. An extremist nutjob, who viewed Twilight and Luna’s marriage very disfavorably, saw them having biological foals together as a violation of the very laws of nature, a sign of degeneracy in the highest office of the land and believed it was a conspiracy to eradicate males from Equestria. So he tried to kidnap the two girls and hold them for ransom.
Little Pterus, who had been trying to sneak up and scare his sisters, saw the menacing stallion approaching them. While yelling for his moms, guards, anypony who help, he jumped from his hiding place to get in between the stranger and his sisters. It spooked the stallion for a moment and delayed him in his plans just long enough for the adults to run, fly and teleport in to subdue the stallion before he could run too far or hurt any of the foals.
In saving his little sisters, Pterus realized he rather liked the feeling of protecting somepony who couldn’t protect themselves. It felt right. He felt a purpose for himself. It wasn’t until the stallion was being hauled off and Twilight was frantically checking over the three foals to make sure they weren’t hurt that any of them noticed Pterus’ newly formed cutie mark. It was an extra special cuteceneara.

Twilight is looking like ‘Please don’t hurt my babies!’
And Luna is like ‘I WILL TEAR YOUR HEAD OFF AND FEED YOUR BODY TO CERBERUS!’

No but the way society treats men is ridiculous and sexist

Mares==Women. Besides, not even the most Radical Feminazi is gonna eliminate heterosexuality.
My point is that I don’t get what he expected to get out of a ransom. PonyPon mentioned the research for the spell…but that assumes it’s not already public, and in any case there would be nothing to stop them from recreating it later. Likewise, anything else besides money that he could extract from them could just be undone when they got the fillies back, and money doesn’t make sense for his motivations. Killing them, though, would seem to be a stronger ‘victory’ for his cause, in his mind at least.
Last time I checked, normal people don’t kidnap people and hold them for ransom. It’s actually quite extreme to do so.
Saying that kidnapping someone’s children and taking them hostage doesn’t sound extreme seems very odd to me. Perhaps you should reconsider some things.
Maybe if the ransom were her research for the spell.
Then again, I can’t imagine her hiding that.
“Hold them for ransom”
Honestly the latter seems kinda tame for the former. It seems more likely that he would have been out to kill Eventide and her sister (who STILL has no name), since I can’t really see what he would think to get out of holding them for ransom.
I have to agree. Some very good friends of mine have done the same, but they’ve reconsidered now.
Already gone to therapy because of abuse by women
Go get therapy, please.
Agreed. It was more than a little disconcerting.
