The mare in the Everfree Forest

I had ended up down in the prisoner cells for a couple of hours which wasn’t bad I mean the cells were pretty large with crystals growing on walls which gave me time to practice some of my magic. I was brought up out of the cells to be brought in front of Celestia and Cadence, who were waiting for me in the throne room.  I could hear them chatting about something as I came up to the doors and they were still chatting about something as Rarity was sitting between them joining in on the conversation. I had slipped out of the cuffs that were around my hooves and I had notices two kinds of balconies one was a large one for maybe ceremonies and the other was a small one located on the other wall out of the limelight. I had slipped past them all as I walked out on to the smaller balcony looking at the city below. I curled up into a ball with my back against the conversation as I looked out towards the distance, with me being this close to the tree I could feel the magic draining from it.

“Where did she go?” I could hear one pony behind me yell out as I turned my head and it was Cadence as her wings were up in alert. I laid my head down on the balcony as I pulled out my small blue crystal and I started rolling it along the floor.

“What should I do?” I asked the crystal.

“Why not come and talk to us?” I looked up to see Celestia sitting in the door way.

“You’re going to lock me up I already know it” I sat up to look at her face to face, well I tried for her being so tall.

“What makes you think that?” she had moved from the door way letting me walk in as I saw guards running around like chickens with their heads cut off from a fox attack.

“I sent your nephew flying through another wall and into another.” I had walked over to where they were sitting earlier as Celestia sat in front of me.

“Auntie Tia we can’t” Cadence stops short as she notices I was sitting next to Celestia.

“Just wait until you hear what we half to say Lily” she had walked over towards a guard who saluted and left the room. He came back after a little bit with Cadence, Captain Armor and the others following him into the room.

“So what did you pick” my ears were half way down as the others came walking up to us two guards one an earth pony the other a unicorn came on either side of me causing me to back up a bit.

“We chose for you to be guarded and for at least one week you must stay here in the empire so we can better ready ourselves” Celestia had looked over at me as I kicked the ground.

“Fine but I want my armor and sword” I forced my ears up as I looked up at Celestia.

“We can deal with that and you must not change into a Pegasus and fly from the guards” she had caused the others to be a bit confused as I gave her a nod.

“Deal”

Twilight and the others told me they would be back in a couple of days to help Princess Cadence with some sort of games. I really didn’t understand since I was too busy looking over my armor which I suspect Rarity had changed something about. I didn’t spend much time in the castle as the guards would of like, I spent it half of it in the library reading books on the history and about the different spells that I had never seen or heard before. The other had spent kicking the guard’s flank and getting them in shape. I had to be pulled out of the arena by Twilight’s brother since I had sent the whole entire guard to the hospital. The day had come when Princess Celestia and Luna came back to the empire with a hoof full of guards had followed them from Canterlot. I was hanging out on the outskirts of town eating my last crystal apple as I see a bright pink pony running towards me. I took a few steps back as Pinkie went zooming by as I glanced towards the train station. I walked down the hill towards the mob of ponies noticing a few guards had spears.

“Aw Lily” Luna had spotted me as me fur goes up as the others turn around looking at me as a crystal shape apple is in my mouth.  I took one bite of my apple to finish it taking a few steps back as my eye starts twitching.

“We are not going to war” I shouted at them as Celestia and Luna pulled out some winter gear as Twilight came walking out smiling.

“Well it’s better to be prepared than not be prepared at all” she was walking over towards her brother as he came walking out with Cadence who was surrounded by guards of her own.  As I was pulling my armor from a pocket dimension the others were getting any of the gear they had with them ready. I had my helmet and my breastplate on but I left my leggings off so I could feel the ground when we got closer.

“ALRIGHT LET’S MOVE OUT!” I had shouted at them as I started walking north away from the train station causing a few of the guards to speak up.

“What about a train?”

“The tracks do not run up this far besides no pony knows this is even here beside me and a few others” I looked back to some of Cadence’s guards who looked away from me.  Twilight was speaking with Princess Celestia on a few notes she had taken while she was there the first time and Luna was walking close to me keeping a wing over my head as the snow started to fall down upon us, Rarity started to complain as Applejack pulled her along while Rainbow Dash had to be grounded as Discord carried Fluttershy behind Celestia and Pinkie was just bouncing along the snow not even slowing her down. It got to the point where I made them all stop as I casted a spell to move the heavy thick snow out of our way as we trudged along.

“HOW MUCH FATHER!” I heard Cadence yell and as I was about to yell back I flipped over a stone and smiled.

“We are here!” I removed the snow from the stone as I hung my head down to the stone getting weird looks until Twilight wrapped a leg around me.

“Hey at least his stone is still here right?” she smiled.

“Yep now let me open that door.” I turned towards the east as I continued on until I heat a large metal door. I pulled the crystal from my armor and placed it against the door as a large pink flower with crystals for pedals to appear on the door causing it to swing open as I fell through disappearing from their sight. I landed on the stairs again as I flared up my horn creating the same light spell as before while everypony else climbed through the door whistling at the sight of the town. I had walked down the stairs listing to the others as they wonder off into different directions as I walked over towards the tree noticing the stones on the outer skirts have been smashed or tossed from their resting places. I walked over towards the tree placing my hoof along the trunk I could feel something blocking the magic from the earth running up to the tree.

“Darlin this place had to look wonderful when it was in full bloom” Rarity was standing next to me as I gave her a nod.

“Oh yes it was” I walked back from the tree as I stepped into the circle taking a deep breath to calm myself as I glance up at the tree “I am Silver Sky Lily member of the clan of Lily decedent of the skies, and remaining clan member of magic, I ask of you tree to give me a sign of what is blocking your magical energy” I stated clearly causing everypony to glance at me as the circle started to glow as black lines appear on the ground causing me to panic and backing slowly out of the circle until they were wrapped around my legs and my body dragging me to the ground. My armor had turned to dust leaving only the gems that were encrusted in it lying on the ground as the lines touched my skin it caused a burning sensation that made me scream causing everypony to run over towards me but everypony besides Rarity was blocked by a barrier. Rarity ran over placing a hoof on my shoulder as I laid their breathing hard trying to stay on my hooves  but I’m forced to the ground again as I closed my eyes I could feel Rarity pulling me into  her lap.

I woke up in a large field of tall sweet grass as a large tree sat on top of a hill with a pure white pony lying underneath with a long pointed horn and a large pair of white wings. My legs felt like a sack of bricks but I got to my hooves and walked up the hill towards the pony. I could hear birds singing in the distance as I got closer to the pony I could tell that the mane and tail matched the coat as there was no cutie mark on the pony’s flank as well.

“It’s not nice to stare at somepony’s flank” the pony sat up as the voice sounded like something cross from a horror movie and magic mixed together.

“What’s going on?” I spoke frantically as I fell back on my hind legs as the white pony walked over towards me.

“I say the truth but you won’t find it here” the pony smiled at me and I couldn’t even tell if it was a mare or stallion since it had no identifying features.

“What truth!” I shouted as I got back up to my hooves staring at the pony in the face.

“you are not a pony” the white pony in front of me raised up one hoof and placed it against my chest and pushed me hard enough it caused me to fall backwards. I didn’t fall into the grass I fell off a cliff into darkness.  I didn’t know what happened but my snapped open as I could feel something trying to drain my magic from my horn. Rarity was still holding me in her lap as I could see Luna and Celestia standing there with guards holding their spears out towards the tree as a large dark figure came walking out. I felt my body going cold as I could see blood running from me onto Rarity staining her coat.

“I’m sorry Rarity” I tried to push off her lap as she held me down.

“No darling it’s okay. Twilight!” she yelled for Twilight who was standing on the other side with her nose in a book.

“She up!” she shouted with glee.

“Oh darn and I thought my magic had done the trick” the voice I knew it to well. I looked over at the tree as my grandfather came walking out with a twisted grin on his face.

“Grandfather? Wait one I didn’t think you spoke common?”  I tried getting up on my hooves as I fell against the barrier as his smile grew into a wicked evil smile.

“Why” I had tears rolling down my cheek as he came walking over towards me.

“Oh things were going so smoothly Silver, you see before these two came along” he pointed over towards Celestia and Luna with his wing I noticed Luna had dark full body armor on with a large sword out. “I was so lonely here in the frozen north and the Crystal Empire didn’t exist yet and the fighting that was happening between the three tribes was causing the land to be barren up here and it was so filled with hate that it took me years to get it to go away. I decided that ponies born from the land would cause destruction and chaos, so why not create ponies that were grown from the ground like flowers and trees that gave me earth ponies, I took clouds and created Pegasus and then I took pure magic” he stomped his hoof on the ground causing pure magic to leak from the ground in a dark liquid form “I made unicorns they were all living peacefully together and it was refreshing but after a while, it got stale and old to create ponies that way so I thought why not use the stars? So I took a star here and a star here but you” he had a hoof pointed towards me “you were the real prize. I made you from a star that sat peacefully between the sun and the moon apparently when I stole you that was the breaking point. After stealing you they sent these two earth or Equestria I thought they were here to kill me and to take you back so I killed everypony and blamed it on him” he was pointing a hoof at Discord who was now up in arms. The lines that were wrapped around my body started to glow as I felt like I was trapped in an eternal pit of fire as he started laughing. My mind felt like it had shattered as I lay there against the ground as I saw Luna’s fur turned black causing the guards to back off.

“Luna no!” I shouted holding my hoof up as she returned to normal turning her head towards me.

“It’s not worth getting mad ov..” I was cut short as the lines started to glow again causing me to black out again. I was in an eternal darkness and all I could think about was the family I had lost over the years as a Pegasus with a white coat and a dark blue mane drape his wing over me as I look up at him.

“Royal?” I asked as he gave me a weird look.

“Îmi pare rău că am folosit pentru a vorbi de bine ceea ce tocmai ai auzit.” (Sorry I'm used to speaking well what you just heard.) He smiled at me as he pulled me into a tight hug.

“Este Silver bine,” (It’s alright Silver) I looked up at him as kept his smile on “Ce este de argint greșit pari jos”( What is wrong Silver you seem down)

“Eu voi și mama și tata sunt în căutarea în jos la mine cu dezamăgire pariu.”( I bet you and mom and dad are looking down at me with disappointment.)

“Din cauza a ceea ce se întâmplă de argint ascultă-mă, ai crescut într-un ponei puternic chiar și atunci când mama, tata și chiar mi-ar trebui să fie acolo pentru a vă ajuta să crească. Ne-ați făcut doar.”( Because of what is going on Silver listen to me, you grew into a strong pony even when mom, dad and even me are supposed to be there for you to help you grow. You have only made us.) he stood up as he walked in front of me “Asculta atunci când vreodată vă simțiți în jos sau trist doar pentru a asculta stelele ei vor fi mereu acolo pentru tine bine și să dea o șansă Luna”( Listen when ever you feel down or sad just listen to the stars they will always be there for you okay and give Luna a chance)

My own brother had made me blush “Ce înseamnă asta!” (What does that mean!)

“Aceasta înseamnă că doar un ponei ca tine, care a blocat inima lor de dragoste nu-l va vedea, acum trebuie să plec.” (It means that only a pony like you who has blocked their heart from love will not see it, now I must go.) he kissed my forehead as he disappeared from my sight leaving me in an endless sea of darkness.
