Chapter Nine

Nothing, which was all I heard and all I saw but pain, was the only thing I could feel as it. Lights small lights of different colors were starting to appear as a surface of dust with the color snow turning my light grey coat white.

“That’s it I’m dead!” I shouted as I fell backwards onto my back looking up into the night sky.

“You’re not dead!” the pony from before came walking from behind me as I look up at it rolling to my stomach as I got to my hooves.

“If I’m not dead then where am I?” I was staring at the same pony from before when I had come to that field.

“Well your back where you belong little one” another pony with large wings and a horn but this one was a bright yellow with an orange tint.

“And that is?” I was scratching my head as they stared at each other and then back to me.

“Well here” the white one pointed its wing towards the sky where the others stars were.

“So you’re saying that what my grandfather said was true?” I turned my head towards the sky looking at the stars as the two ponies walk over towards me.

“What did he tell you?” the yellow one sat down to my right as the left one to my left.

“That I was made from a star to long ago” I was cut short by two large wings blocking my vision.

“Yes you were a star and you still are” the white one looked down on me.

“Wait if I am still a star then… “my mind had snapped “ then then I am dead!” I shouted at them as I slowly backed up from them as my mind started racing with different thoughts.

“Listen you’re not dead, your body may be on Equestria but your soul or spirit is here on the moon at the current moment.”

“THEN I AM DEAD!” I shouted throwing my hooves over my head as tears roll down my eyes as the two larger ponies wrap one wing around my back.

“No you’re not please trust us Silver” they made me look up at them as I gave a slight nod. “Listen to us Silver, now we should start from the beginning before the princesses there were creatures called humans who lived along the land. After they died out they left the earth barren and torn after the years of war they caused with each other, so the gods decided to send one of their own down to help the land and create new creatures that would treat it right. Your grandfather Neptune was the one who was picked, he was doing so well until the three tribes started fighting. He left as soon as it happened leaving them on their own, went north and created the ponies that you knew and grew very much attached to. When he started stealing the stars from the other gods they had enough and sent Celestia and Luna to do the job.”

“But why did he use Discord?” I looked at them as they both kept their gazes on me.

“He wasn’t using Discord he was using an illusion spell a very old one, and he never said Discord he was yelling out Destruction”

“Oh I owe one god an apology if I get back” I looked down towards the ground as the yellow one removed its wing getting to its hooves as well as the white one.

“You will return”

“Okay so are you stallions or mares?” my question made them stop as the both looked towards each other.

“Well I guess I am a mare” the white one’s voice started to sound more famine.

“And I’m a stallion” the yellow one’s voice also changed to sound more masculine. They were both looking at me as the white pony signaled for me to follow, since I have nothing better to do then either freak out or something else I got to my hooves and started to follow them.

“So what would happen if I had died? Or any other ponies made from stars died?” I was walking with them as we head towards a large creator in the surface that held a large pool of black liquid.

“When a star pony dies they let out a large amount of power the will either destroy the land itself or destroy the lay lines that are in the earth itself causing the magic that the ponies use to become unusable, but with the right touch that power can be used to help things grow and to create new items from that magic plus it could boost a unicorn’s power to godlike for just a few years.” I was listening to them as my mind went back towards the tree.

“So since I was using my magic to help the tree”

“It grew with the magic being released from the ponies you buried.” The yellow one had completely changed into a stallion with wings and the white one a mare with a soft smile.

“But why is Neptune after the power if it’s all used in the tree?” I decided that he was no longer my grandfather at this point in time.

“Because the power you use is replaced by the magic from the ground. When you help the tree your hooves are always touching the ground so the power that is hidden under the tree comes up through your hooves helping your body and replenishing you magical pool. Now your grandfather knows this so he draining you power so it could be replaced by the reaming power that is left in the ground, if he does that, Celestia and Luna, not even you can defeat him.”

“So this is my fault? This is my fault that this is happening?” I had tears in my eyes as the mare wrapped her wings around me giving me a warm feeling.

“No it is not your fault at all, but since you left the forest on the day and Discord saw you along with the Princess he had to move his plans up a bit further, as he might have told you he killed the ponies you knew to keep them out of the hooves of the sun and the moon meaning the princesses. Even if you came alone Silver you will still be here but alone you might have died but since you came with others you have a fighting chance.” The stallion stood up as he flew into the sky.

“Where is he going?” I looked over towards the white mare.

“For now I am going to train you, he will train you later so he is going to go and give Celestia a boost of magic.” She stood up as she placed her hoof into the pool of black liquid. “This is called Liquid night only Luna is able to use this but since you belong to the night sky so can you.” She made a large floor mirror appear in front of me.

“You can create many things with it, this is one for instance” the mirror had finished coming together as I saw a pony with a black liquid coat with a snow white liquid mane as the eyes were a deep pool of blue. The pony also had no mouth and no cutie mark along its flank.

“The mirror will show you anyponies true form such as you.”

“where the chain?” I looked down towards my chest as the chain was gone as the mare laughed a bit.

“You do not need it anymore, I will teach you how to switch between a Pegasus, a unicorn, and an earth pony along with making armor and a sword.” The mirror had changed back into liquid night as she stuck her hoof back into the pool causing it to creep up her leg as the creator became empty. She walked over towards me as her whole left side was a moving black mass. Her hoof was placed on my shoulder as the liquid night creped down her hoof and around my body. Covering my chest and my legs like a set of ebony armor without any trimming and laches, as I watched it as it covered my vision and I started to panic.

“HOW FO I CONTROL IT OR AT LEAST MOVE IT!” I shouted as I tried to move but found myself glued to the ground kind of.

“Just relax and use your mind just think about, what you want to do with the liquid night.” I could hear the mare’s voice but I still couldn’t see her.

By my count it took a couple of hours to get my mind to relax as I thought of it as three small golden bracelets on my right hoof. My vision was free and yet it changed into gold bracelets.

“Wow” I was shocked as I looked at my leg. The mare smiled as she stomped her hoof on the dusty ground causing some dirt targets to pop out of the ground.

“Now let’s see if you can control it during battle or at least during target practice.” She walked behind me as my right eye twitched. I took some breathing exercises before trying to conjure up some armor which went well. It looked like my old armor but completely black with a white trim and my crest of arms on the middle of my breast plate. Conjuring up a weapon that was another story, I had conjured up a sword it became too wide causing me to fall over. The second try it became too long that it was poking me on the other side of my flank. The third try it became too short it wasn’t even a bloody dagger! The forth try was perfect I got a nice flat wide sword was the perfect weight for me to fling in my mouth and my magic. I went to got swing at some targets but my armor had glued me to the ground causing me to fall over with my flank up in the air. Fifth try got the sword down but my armor was being finicky! As parts of it was missing. The sixth try I had to make the sword a little less wide and a little less long in order for me to move in my armor with the sword. I took out the targets as the mare was smiling.

“Okay again but with a different weapon and a different body. In order for you to change you just need to relax again and think about the body you want the armor will change to fit that body.” She had stomped her hoof again creating new targets but this time they were lying down or in odd angles. I closed my eyes thinking about my Pegasus form as I shook my body my two large wings appeared as my body armor changed to fit the two new appendages. I took off into the air as I relaxed again focusing on a bow and a couple of arrows. First try all I got was a string. The second try I got a small arrow and no bow. Third try I got the bow right but the arrow was nothing but a stick. The forth try I had the bow down along with the arrow and quivers on my hip so I drew my bow and arrow and the bow snapped causing my hoof to smack me in the face. The fifth time was the lucky try I was able to create a large ebony bow with white marbling and a though string. The arrows were black ebony with white feathers and a blue string along the back. I took out my remaining targets on the ground.

“Good you got the basics down and they will work for now, so I’m going to let the sun take over.” She had disappeared from sight as I turned my head looking at the yellow stallion that was called the sun.

“Wait if you’re the sun”

“Yes she was the moon now I’m going to teach you some light spells that will help you in battle.”

“Why not teach me everything now?”

“Because by the time were done with you, you might not have a body to return to” my eyes widen as I land on the ground.

“Okay let’s get started” I looked at him as he smiled.
