Chapter One

The secent of cherries filled the air, as light pink cherry blossoms fall from the sky. All seems fine, peaceful almost until the sky turns a dark blue as the blossoms turn to fallen ash. My eyes shoot open causing me to stare at the darkness that fulled my room. My horn flared up making a large candle to light, filling the room with a soft  orange warm glow. The candle was housed in a lantern hanging from the ceiling so it could light up every square inch of the house. My hoof pushed back my covers as I sat up a bit in my own bed. My mane was a mess it looked like Pinkie Pie had gotten a hold of it. Sighing slightly I got to my hooves trudging over to my mirror which was sitting on the top of my dresser "Well it's more of a table than a dresser" I thought to myself.

Now let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Lily and depending on whether it is day or night I change my first part of my name. During the day I got by Sun Lily a unicorn who's magic is weak but makes up with upper body strength that you could only find on an earth pony. During the night I go by Moon Lily a physically weak unicorn, but I had extremely powerful magic. It may seem like I'm running from something, or somepony but I'm running from my past. My mane was finally fixed where if I stepped out into town I wouldn't get stopped by Rarity. She was a snow white unicorn with dark purple mane and tail who worked in the local boutique. She didn't like my mane since it was a light blue at the roots and faded to a dark blue to the ends, and my tail was a solid blue. I moved from the mirror to a small black box that sat at the end of my bed.

Using my magic I in-cased the lid in a light grey magic field, as I moved it to the left pulling out a pair of saddle bags that matched my coat. It was also a light grey in color. These didn't have my cutie mark on them since it makes a few ponies feel uneasy around me. I don't have that problem now though since I moved near the small town of Ponyvile. I placed a pair of small reading glasses on muzzle along with the bags on my back. I looked up towards the lantern hanging from the ceiling pulling it down keeping the candle lit. Like I said I live near Ponyvile, I pushed my door open staring dead center at a thick patch of trees blacking out the sun and moon. I live in the middle in the Everfree Forest so when I need to hide, or move from the area I could do it in secret without ponies asking questions. The lies I've created have become my life now. Walking along a dirt path with the lantern floating in front of me lighting my way. The Everfree is a safe place for me since I have no pony to talk to well except Zecora. Every now and then I would kick a stray rock off the path and into the darkness.

The path soon came to an end as the rays of sun light hit my eyes, causing me to squint. Celestia's sun almost seemed like a warden looking down at his prisoners. Blowing out the candle in the lantern before I hid it behind a tree. I adjusted my glasses with my magic before stepping out into the open. The sounds of birds singing hit my ears from a nearby cottage.

"They sound lovely Fluttershy." I spoke softly hoping not to scare the sunflower yellow pegasus with light pink mane and tail as she jumped at my voice. She hid behind her mane and tail as I placed a hoof on her shoulder. Her eyes glanced up at me and she calmed down enough to talk.

"Sorry Sun Lily I didn't know it was you." her voice was soft just barely above a whisper. "Their getting better just not their." she was standing up looking at the birds as I smiled. It was good seeing Fluttershy getting out of her shell, when I first meet her she wouldn't even get off the dirt and her pet bunny had to shove me away.

"That's good to hear your birds sing lovely in the mornings and the afternoons." I grinned as the sound of a stamped reached our ears as we both turned out heads towards the sound.

"FLUTTERSHY!!" a southern voice called out as a orange mare came into view. She had bright blond mane hidden under a brown worn out stetson that rested on top of her head.

"Hello Applejack." Fluttershy squeaked out as I stepped aside.

"I need ya help shy beavers are building up damns again on me farm!" she was out of breath running from the northern most part of the farm to Fluttershy's cottage which was at the southern part of the fields.

"I'll leave you to help out Fluttershy." I smiled as she gave me a slight nod. I started walking down the paved road towards the daily market. "Well I guess apples will have to wait" I thought to myself remembering that if the farm had problems all the Apples would have all hooves on deck. As I entered the busy market place I put up the lie I had made, as I put on a show making it seem like the bag of bits were to heavy for my magic so I gave up and ended up carrying it. I walked up to my first stall buying some roses and water lilies, then to another for some candy and so on and so forth. As the afternoon rolled around I stopped by the town hall seeing if any pony had posted up any jobs I could do for some spare bits. I don't have a special talent or a steady job. For instance my cutie mark is a pentagram that I earned a long time ago, and two If I held a normal job all my lies would come shattering down. Seeing nothing was posted up I went back to shopping that is until I saw a mix match creature floating down the road with the Princess of the Sun and Twilight and her friends following behind him.

He had the same laugh he did all those years ago when I first saw him, but his demeanor has changed extremely! I hid behind some creates keeping watch on the creature. The Princess had stepped up on the water fountain with her wings spread out wide causing everypony to stop what they were doing and pay attention to her.

"Attention My little ponies as of today the villain or creature known as Discord has been set free, but he will be placed in the hands of the elements to try and reform him. If that doesn't work I'm sadly to say he will be turned to stone." As she went on Discord had moved up behind me.

"I knew I've seen your flank before." his voice was low as he had a toothy grin. My eyes move to meet his.

"OH! I have meet you before." he kept his grin up as I keep my eyes on him.

"Sunt șocat că m-ai uitat tu ceva josnic" (I'm shocked that you have forgotten me you vile thing) I gave him a low growl in my native tongue that have been lost to the ages, erased by time. When I said that his eyes widen in what I had said to him.

"Let's talk somewhere else." his happy demeanor had changed as he snapped his lion's paw causing a flash making Twilight and her friends and the Princess go up in alert. We both appeared in a meadow not far from town.

"I didn't think you survived all this time." he circled me as I placed my bags on the ground.

"You know bucking well I have survived all this time!" I have switched back to common since we were both alone in a field.

"OH I thought the little princesses would have locked you up in the castle since you are a walking history book!" he flicked my horn as my magic flared up while I kept a deadly glare at him.

"I did well enough to keep out of their line sight sort of speak." I kept my magic up as he gazed towards moving object that came out of the distance. I turned my head causing my magic to disparate as I noticed Twilight with her light purple coat and dark navt mane and tail was running at the head of her friends with the Princess in tow.

"Alergi mințit! ce le-a spus nu-i așa! Nu-i așa!"(You bucking lied! you told them didn't you! Didn't you!!) I shouted at him switching back to my native tongue again as my magic was creating sparks in my horn causing me to shake my head. I took a minuet to take a few deep breathes as I flared my horn up again.

"nope I didn't" he floated off towards the shock ponies that I thought I could call friends. My magic died again as I could tell by their faces what they were thinking of me.

"Discord you can't steal ponies anymore" her voice was stern yet gentle at the same time.

"Oh Celestia I was just wanting to speak to an old friend." he had a pout to his face as I gave him a lock that could kill him.

"Să nu îndrăznești să-mi spui tu prietenul CREATURĂ VILE"(Don't you dare call me friend you VILE CREATURE!!) I screamed out forgetting that I wasn't speaking common as my eyes widen and my ears flatten against my head as I looked towards the ground. My heart had sunk in my chest. The princess walked over towars me as I had tears forming in my eyes which I wipe away with my hoof. She laid on the grass looking at me eye to eye.

"My little pony what is your name?" her voice reminded me of my mother who I so did miss.

"Lily." was all I could get out.

"May I ask how do you know the old language that was common around my youth?" she had made Twilight jump in shock as my ear pressed harder against my head.

"I read it in a book" my eyes darted back and forth as the Princess stood up as a random guard came up to her.

"Princess your needed back at the castle the nobles are not liking your sister on the throne at the moment." he looked up at the Sun Princess who nodded.

"For now I must go I will leave Discord in your hooves Fluttershy" she looked towards the shy pegasus "And for miss Lily I will leave you in my Student's hooves I wish to know what book you've read" she gave me a chilling glare as Twilight was bowing.

"My life is over." I thought as the chariot pulled away. Fluttershy and Discord had left leaving me with Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie since Rainbow Dash had went to look after Fluttershy.

"So is their anything you need from your home I mean I have a spare room and other stuff" I had stop listening by then since she was going off on a rant as her mane started to spring to life.

"Books, I need my books." I simply said as Applejack walked up to me.

"Well sug lets go get your books." she smiled as Twilight returned to normal.

"Oh yes!"

"Now darling where do you live?" Rarity had walked up now.

"The Everfree." I walked past them after pulling my saddle bags back onto my back as I stepped on to a dirt road walking towards the forest leaving everyone in shock.
