Secrets Revealed, Pasts Unconcealed

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The veteran, Tower Shield, calmly watched as the two soldiers under his command fell into slumber. Namely to ensure that his son-in-law would be safe for his daughter. In the meantime he needed to find an escape so he could protect his soldiers and get them home. Currently that entailed messing with the screws over the vent grate for the air ducts. He didn't even notice the door opening until after Peregrine rolled him over.

The pegasus offered the veteran a glass while taking a seat.
"Mead, I find it calms the nerves. Oh, and before you bother asking, I am the Skeleton Jack, but this is how I sound when not in the field. You may recognize me? High up noblepony in her majesty's court?"

Tower blinked a couple of times before recognizing that the younger stallion was telling the truth.
"What makes a loyal pony like you turn against Celestia and the law?"

Nodding for the soldier to drink, Peregrine took a large swig of his mead before sighing.
"I wish to regale to you a tale of how I have come to be the double-life-leading swashbuckler you see before you. I...have not spoken of this to anypony else save for my love Lula, or Lulianna if you will. That is, if you care to hear it. You see, I don't like what I have to do. and that look on your face when you thought your son-in-law was dead. Truly horrendous. He told me, actually, that he was okay with dying provided I let you get back to your pregnant daughter. He felt he couldn't do better by them as opposed to you. Ah, but I'm getting carried away, first, introduce yourself."

The soldier gave a slight smile at the refined and cultured attitude of Peregrine Tower conceded.
"Tower Shield, unicorn defender of Celestia's army."

"Charming," Peregrine replied, shaking the soldiers hoof, "I am Peregrine Pie, bastard son to Pinkie Pie, Element of Harmony-Laughter. Now, let me tell you why I do what I do."

^~^~^~^

Spike booted in the door, immediately bringing his rifle to bear against the darkest figure in the room, despite the four other ponies in the room immediately taking defensive postures.
"YOU! You owe me a fucking answer! You said that I couldn't get her back, that I couldn't rescue her! You told me my mother was dead! But then who the flying fuck did I just rescue three days ago? Goddesses damnit Luna, you have things to answer for!"

The Lunar Diarch stared coolly down the barrel of the rare minotaurian made weapon.
"I do."

"Then fucking answer me!"

Eyes narrowing, Spike suddenly found his rifle gone as Luna trotted up to stare him down.
"You have yet to ask any proper questions, young one."

"Fine," Spike growled back, "What is going on?!"

At this Luna motioned for him to follow her. The dragon got about three steps in before Sombre Winds blocked his path, hoof lifted in a salute.

"Sir, I would like to formally thank you for my rescue from the mind control spell I had been ensnared with in the Crystal Kingdom. You did an amazing job for a child!"

This statement caused Spike to look at the other three ponies, immediately recognizing each of them, even Icene.
"You should all be dead, there is no way..."

"I kept them alive, well, with the exception of Icene Myst. Spike, meet Starswirl, Clover and Sombre Winds, vice versa. Now come Spike." Luna almost commanded.

As the dragon followed, Luna began her tale.
"Years ago, back when my sister and I first took power she left to take care of something. Upon her return she asked to 'scan' me and cast a spell I did not understand at the time. It wasn't until centuries later would I stumble upon my real sister in the form of a unicorn named Sunny Skies locked in the dungeon. At this point Starswirl had disappeared, and I myself had already locked 'Sombra' away and sealed Clover in stone for 'blasphemous' claims about Celestia being an imposter. How they discovered it was beyond my understanding at the time. Following clues, I discovered that the imposter had repeatedly been turning my real sister into a young unicorn and attempted to sequester her away as a student before her untimely death in the service of the crown."

Luna watched as recognition dawned on Spike.

"This time, my sister has come to form as the unicorn, now alicorn, known by us all as Princess Twilight Sparkle. Every adventure, every accident, every little time Twilight got into any trouble at all whatsoever was an attempt to kill her friends so the imposter could restart the cycle. But there was one thing the imposter didn't expect, and that was for 'Twilight' to connect with the Elements. You see, the imposters expected me to kill the occupants of Ponyville, she hadn't expected me to mellow during my time on the moon. Instead Twilight successfully made friends and conquered me, and I, while still under a mind control spell, my previous memories of the truth locked away, went right along with it."

"So, you're telling me that Twilight is actually Celestia?!"

Luna just shook her head somberly.
"No, Twilight might have been Celestia for a time, but for the amount of time this has been happening? No, Celestia is long since been dead. Twilight is who Twilight claims to be, and I will not force her to play the part of an older sister from a life she can't remember. What I can do, though, is find a way to fully unlock her powers again, and for that I need you. We'll be journeying to the dragon lands, Spike, and you will be needed for this venture."

Claw drifting up to the scar again Spike's eyes lowered shamefully.
"My primary heart was killed Luna, you know this, you saved me. But, I can't fight anymore on my secondary heart. I can't pump that much blood..."

Wrapping the young drake in a hug, Luna smiled warmly.
"No, but you have your rifle, and you have us. We will return, and the mare you saved, she is your real mother, that was no fake like the Priestess. But to make them all safe, to save the whole of Equestria as we know it, we need you."

"For my mother?"

"For your mother."

Spike grinned predatorily as his rifle appeared before him.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

^~^~^~^

"Which, in turn, led to my mother doing her best to make the lost stallion happy again. Keep in mind she was but nine years old and did not understand what coitus was, or what unprotected coitus led to. As such she had me at ten, and to protect their daughter, Pinkie's parents sent her to Ponyville while claiming that Grannies...portliness...hid the pregnancy. I lived with my grandparents and aunts." Peregrine explained tactfully.

"Ah, makes much more sense," Tower replied, "With all due respect to your Poppy, I was beginning to think of him as one of those kinds of stallions..."

Peregrine just waved a hoof.
"Oh pish and posh and all that. It's an understandable conclusion to draw, what with a ten year old filly getting pregnant on a rock farm with but one male. Regardless, back to the story. My mother was supposed to pick me up, and I was to be living with her, what with her successful business and stable living conditions. I must say, it was something I'd looked forward to for years. To finally live with my real mum. Well, as I was saying, she came right on in, huffing and puffing like she just ran a marathon. I ran up to her, and she immediately grabbed both Aunt Blinky and I and shoved us in the closet. Not two seconds later did the door burst in and I heard mother's friend Twilight start screaming things about being traitors and such. Ten minutes later when Aunt Blinky and I stepped out, everypony was turned to stone. After hearing about Priestess Twilight Sparkle, my aunt and I began climbing the social ladder while leading double lives. Aunt Blinky lives in a garden maze with our house in the middle. She cleans and cares for our stony relatives everyday. I run a successful trading business, most successful in the country for being only seventeen might I add, while running the piracy company, usually raiding my own caravans to cause as little damage as possible whilst still supplying the resistance."

"And that is why you refused to harm my son-in-law and I, because we have family, something you have been denied?"

"Precisely sir."

"But, now that I know, you can't let us go, can you?"

Again waving a hoof in the air, Peregrine let out a laugh.
"And what, keep you prisoner on this ship? No, we make land fall soon, and when we do you are all free to go where you please. I myself, along with Lula, will be returning to Canterlot ourselves. Though I will warn you, I have the majority of all the lawyers in Canterlot in my pocket, and ponies that have tried to oust me before are now the laughing stocks of the country."

Tower sat, mulling things over for a bit before deciding on what to do.
"I need a disguise, a good one. Sorry kid, but I'm sticking with you. You got real lucky that you snuck up on us before, but that won't happen again. You see, her Majesty has heard of a dread floating ship before, but it got dismissed as ptsd ravings. But you see, I'm the Defense Specialist for the whole military. First, I can help you, and second, when they hear I'm gone via giant floating boat, they will start taking things more seriously."

"And this is you, just swapping sides?" Peregrine countered skeptically.

"Yes," started Tower, "And no. I have a whole file of inconsistencies and other issues tucked away in my desk regarding the Crown's Army. You just...provide a way to investigate further before I finalize leaving the Army. I won't fight, but I will work with you as a faux business partner while I do more digging."

"Sounds good, I'll have Lulianna make you a false name, a glamour and false business records."

"And Peregrine."

"Yes?"

"Thank you...for sparing my family the loss."

Peregrine just smiled kindly and turned, looking back but once before exiting the room.
"You aren't the only one that would have lost something had I killed you three..."

^~^~^~^

"Seriously?"

"Yes."

"But..."

"I know."

"Your eyes..."

"True, but irrelevant."

"If you fall?"

"Well then," Mavis countered with a saucy tone, "Go down to catch me. Maybe I like it when you save me."

"Every time I save you, you damn nearly die!" Jubilee countered back.

"And then?"

"And then what? We go get you checked on, one of us gets upset or mad, then...oh."

"Exactly. We have wild crazy make up sex." Mavis giggled, "So I jump and fly, we have congratulatory sex. I jump and almost die, we have make up sex."

Jubilee thought about it for a moment before shrugging.
"Fine, but if you jump before I'm down there I'll kill you."

Mavis couldn't help but let out a giggle as she heard Jubilee scamper off in the direction of the door. It had been two days since the night everypony found out the true story of what happened to "Twilight Sparkle" and how Mavis had fought off the evil clone/replica/imposter. It had taken some doing but when Fluttershy of all ponies had threatened to kill the first pony to raise a hoof against Mavis that had settled things. It was a well known fact that Fluttershy didn't kill anypony unless she was absolutely certain that they were guilty of something. Long story short, the assassin Eepy Squeak's word carried more authority for the rebels than the Element of Honesty herself.

At the moment though, all Mavis cared about was trying to relearn how to fly. She did have wings after all.

"Ready to catch you down here Mavis!"

Maivs grinned and launched herself up, casting a low frequency echolocation spell. The felt her wings power through the air. She felt weightless. She felt free. She felt unstoppable. She felt the clothing wire her low frequency echolocation spell didn't pick up halt her immediately.

Minutes later Mavis was standing next to Jubilee who was rubbing her mane humourously.
"There was a dress there silly."

In return Mavis just stuck her tongue out.
"I know that now."

All of a sudden Mavis felt herself get pulled into an alley way by Jubilee whose breathing and heartbeat had spiked dramatically. The unicorn was shaking slightly and after an advanced echolocation spell Mavis could 'see' she was crying.

"Hey, Jubilee, what's wrong?"

"I...I saw him, again..."

Hugging the crying unicorn close, Mavis nuzzled her briefly.
"Who? I swear if they hurt you I'll take care of it."

Jubilee shook her head and hugged Mavis tighter.
"My dad, I saw him this morning, sort of...I thought I was okay, you know? I didn't mean to!"

"Mean to do what?" asked Mavis carefully, "What happened this morning?"

"I...He...came up behind me...put his hooves over my eyes and said guess who...but all I could think was that it was a stallion...I panicked and threw him into a wall and ran." Jubilee sobbed, "I thought I was over this...I thought I didn't care, because I saved you...I just..."

Mavis just started running a hoof calmingly through Jubilee's mane.
"Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey...it's not your fault. Goddesses do I know that it isn't your fault. You have every right to be scared, to be worried and confused. You were forced into a situation nopony should every be forced into, and what happened to you is both unforgivable and unforgettable, even if all you want to do is pretend it never happened. I know it hurts...hell, if I know a stallion is approaching me I have to remind myself I'm not chained down or I don't have a magical suppressor on me."

"B..but...he...he is my...d...dad..."

"I know, I know Jubes, and you want to trust him, I know. When my brother first encountered me...I...my body shut down...I expected to be raped...I'm not proud of it either, I hate it. It's a burden only ponies that have suffered like we have understand." Mavis cried, tears of her own running down her face, "But we need to tell him, and your mother. You can't fix this by keeping it to yourself. I mean, fuck, I had therapy sessions with the floor for the moons sake. But you have to talk about it to something, keeping it to yourself won't help. Okay? So how about it. I'll get you cleaned up, then we'll go find your mom and dad."

After a few moments of sniffling, Jubilee nodded slowly.
"Only as long as your their. I don't want to go alone."

"Always and forever. I am an alicorn after all."

^~^~^~^

Jubilee shuffled nervously at the door, but Mavis draped a wing over her back, almost immediately calming her. Yet even with the soothing presence of what had to be one of the strongest mares, if not the strongest pony she had ever met or known, at her side, Jubilee couldn't help gut wince at the both shocked and somewhat worried look on Doctor Whooves features. After all, it wasn't every day that your adopted daughter threw you through a cabbage cart, not to mention severely upsetting the vendor, whose cart apparently had a poor track record for avoiding accidents.

The cabbage stuff aside the situation was extremely tense, especially with the fact that General Derpy Whooves, complete with her sword sheathed at her side, had not stopped glaring at Mavis with her uncovered 'proper' eye.

"Well, dear, it seems that the rumours are true, explains why we received the letter we did this morning." Derpy stated too flatly, as if purposefully detracting all emotion from her voice.

The Doctor, for his part, just sighed and cast a worried, yet loving, look to his daughter.
"Sparkler, I see you're doing well, er...why don't you come in? Sit down and such?"

Jubilee nodded and moved to the furthest seat from her mother before attempting to help Mavis sit down. It was then that Derpy's cold, harsh tone rang out.

"She can stand!"

In response Mavis just smiled politely before teleporting a mass of cloud under her and allowing the natural cloud walking abilities she possessed take over. Jubilee, none to happy with how things were going, sat silently on the couch next to her fillyfriend. Derpy's forced 'calm' breathing was audible to all.

"Ah yes, so dear, Derpy informed me of why you had your outburst this morning. I...I wish terribly to hold you tight and tell you you'll be okay, and you will, it's just I believe I would be safe in assuming that you probably don't want...a pony of my...gender, a stallion that is...er...Oh Muffin, I'm so sorry..."

Jubilee watched as her father quickly reduced to tears before her.

"Go head. Move at your own pace though." Mavis reassured with a whisper.

Swallowing her fear, and swallowing in an attempt to get the fear induced lump out of her throat, Jubilee moved slowly towards her father, hesitantly putting her forelegs lightly around his neck in an awkward hug.
"I'm okay daddy. I just...I...I just need to, uh, work on a few things. I love you daddy."

It didn't take long for the awkward hug to evolve into that of a loving daughter and devoted father. The two cried into each other, the Doctor for all his fears and worries about his daughter, Jubilee for all the pain since her one day in captivity. Mavis watched the scene with a sad smile, both hope for the future, and sorrow for what was lost tugging at her mind. The alicorn also knew that Derpy was 'sneaking' up to stand behind her.

Keeping her voice low, Mavis vocally regarded the changed mare that stood behind her.
"Killing me won't bring Dinky back. Killing me won't even be true revenge. It will be a facade, a hollow victory. Sure, you've killed 'Twilight Sparkle', but not the one that took your youngest. My brother holds you in high regard Derpy. Lead your soldiers, and when I march against the mare that has been framing me, I'd better see your form with hooves grinding against her esophagus."

A noncommittal grunt coupled with the sound of saliva striking the floor told Mavis that Derpy understood.

"I don't like you. Change your colours all you want, but everything that makes you Twilight Sparkle is still there. You can't change who you are."

With a half smirk Mavis 'looked' over her shoulder as if she still had eyes.
"Twilight is dead Derpy, and if you can't change who you are, where is my mail from since my imprisonment?"

When Derpy's hoof falls left the room Mavis realised that she'd at least partially gotten through to the general. Regardless it was clear that death wasn't nearly the biggest threat of Equestrians. It was apathy and pain. 'Looking' back up, Mavis moved to the still embracing father and daughter with a smile.
"So, ice cream anypony?"

The Doctor and Jubilee both gave a slight smile and moved apart, their bond, if not fixed already, was on it's way to being whole again. Mavis just smiled, turning to head to the kitchen to invite Derpy on principle. The alicorn moved silently through to the kitchen, her ears picking up on the Doctor asking Jubilee exactly what was going on between Mavis and herself. And that Jubilee was exuberantly diving into the relationship they shared, despite the uniqueness of it.

Upon seeing Mavis enter the kitchen Derpy's grip on the kitchen knife she was using to cut carrots tightened, but nothing else beyond that.

"There are ponies I can talk to, thought I would let you know."

Derpy simply shrugged and resumed cutting the carrots.

"And all of this, I never wanted it to happen..."

"Which part..."

Mavis shook her head, surprised that Derpy had replied to her.
"Excuse me?"

"Which part did you not wish for?!" the grey pegasus snapped, "The death of my birth daughter? The deaths of over half of Ponyville? Ha, I remember being so happy to see you as an alicorn. The Alicorn of Friendship they called you, and expected you to bring in a new era of peace! What did you do instead?! Hid while the whole world burned. And escaping from Celestia? Really? Either your aren't really blind and faking it, or you are blind but faking friendship! Why should I believe that you simply escaped? If it was so easy, why did it take so long?! Celestia was like a mother to you, yet you expect me to believe that you were tortured? Raped? Beaten?"

Mavis attempted to get in a word, but both the sounds of the Doctor and Jubilee entering the room as well as Derpy's continuation of her tirade stopped the alicorn.

"Ah, and my other daughter! I love you Sparkler, I love you more than you could possibly understand. That is why I wish to kill this wretch. Her and her whole submissive complex!"

"Excuse me?!"
"Mother!"

"Jubilee, silence, Twilight, shut the fuck up." Derpy snapped cruelly, "What, you thought I wasn't keeping tabs on you? That necklace of your sends me back all the information I need to keep you safe Sparkler. And as for you Twilight. You sit there, you claim to have been raped. to have hated every moment of it, yet you like when my daughter ties you down, or gets a little rough. I'll bet you loved your stay in the castle."

"Mom, please, stop!" an embarrassed Jubilee begged as Mavis shuffled uncomfortably with a large blush and the beginnings of two wet spots on her eye shawl.

"Stop what? The truth? The fact that Twilight here likes when you spank her hard? Or when you bite her, get pushy, forceful even?!" sneered the death-honed and battle hardened general, "No, I refuse to believe that you were forced, I'll bet you spent all that time lifting your tail to every stallion that walked by. You probably moaned so loud for so many soldiers-"

"Shut up..."

"-Cried out for them to use you. Couldn't wait to feel their thick cocks in your snatch and your ass, or wrapped your tongue around their balls as you took them throat deep!"

"Shut up!"

"You screamed when they came I'm sure, and then begged for more! You are a whore, Twilight Sparkle! A cum dumpster, a slut, a sheath and nothing more! I would call your skank ass a murderess as well, but I believe I might insult a few ponies that way! And now you bend over and beg a plead from my family? What-"

"Please..."

"-are you going to do next, ask my husband to bury his dick in your ass for you, or-"

"Just...please..."

"-beg me to whip you until you have an orgasm? Or do you want the whole family in on the dea-"

"Shut. The. Fuck. Up!" Mavis screamed, tears pouring through her shawl with an odd mixture of red and green due to her shared embarrassment and disgust. Wrapping the general in her magic, Mavis lunged forward and started pummeling the immobilised pegasus, punctuating each word with a scream for Derpy to shut her mouth. It wasn't until Jubilee bodily pulled the alicorn from Derpy that anypony could see the damage.

Rolling to her side, Derpy spat out a wad of saliva, blood and teeth before coughing up some more blood. The mare's entire body was covered in bruises, dark spots on her torso showing were some ribs had broken and caused internal bleeding. Both wings also appeared broken as well as one of Derpy's forelegs. There were splashes of blood across the front of Mavis as Jubilee shoved her backwards.

For Mavis, it was nothing. She was panting from the exertion, crying from a mixture of anger, shame and humiliation. She could tell there was a lot wrong with Derpy as Sparkler lifted her up onto her father's back. The group then took off towards the hospital, Mavis keeping to the rear of the group.

All she could hope for was that Derpy would be okay.

Three hours later only the Whooves family were present. And Jubilee was fairly certain that Mavis would not be returning to her. After all, she had told the mare to leave.

All Jubilee had now were regrets.

^~^~^~^

"So, Spike, was it? Anyway, what's your story, the Princess seemed fairly dead set on having you along. You got some personal connection to Luna or something?" Myst probed innocently as she walked alongside the bipedal reptilian.

Shrugging, Spike swapped his rifle to his left shoulder so it wasn't between him and the icy mare.
"Luna saved me years ago after my primary heart was punctured. All dragons have two hearts, the primary used for a lot of the tougher activities such as flying, fighting and fire breathing while the secondary heart is there to make sure that everything gets oxygen. I use this rifle due to the primary not functioning."

Myst nodded and continued trotting silently for a time before looking back up at Spike.
"Luna saved me too. I was captured and put in a cell with Starswirl over there. Before meeting Starswirl I haven't gotten to meet any other nice living things in a long time."

"What about the other Wendigos?" asked Spike.

"I don't know. The last thing I ever remembered was two chilling red eyes before I was isolated in a cave until the soldiers came and captured me." replied a sombre Icene Myst.

"Red eyes, like ones that star into your soul? Pretty much froze your heart?"

Myst gave a chuckle at Spike's wording, nudging him playfully.
"My heart already is frozen. But yeah, a lot like that."

It was about time that the pair realised everypony had stopped walking and Luna had turned to face them.
"Alright, we have two more ponies to 'recruit'. First is Chrysalis. Now, you have been talking amongst yourselves, and so far you have all deduced that a pair of red eyes is the last thing you saw. That is because one being, older than myself or my sister, is behind all of this. In fact, that being is behind every single villain known to Equestria. Now, as we all know, Discord is dead, having given his life for his lover and unborn foal. So, after rescuing Chrysalis and gaining the Changelings to our cause, we have to rescue my own sister. That task, my friends, is going to be the hardest of all. After all this, my little ponies, we have to find, rescue, and liberate the mind of Princess Twilight Sparkle, long since forgotten as Princess Celestia Solare, sister to myself. That, my friends, will be the real challenge I'm sure."

At the back of the group a grunt could be heard as Myst did her best to catch a fainting Spike.

^~^~^~^

Jubilee laid alone in what had been hers and Mavis' room. She sighed as her hoof circled the bare sheets next to her.
"I'm sorry Mavis...I didn't mean it..."
As tears slipped down her cheeks, Jubilee hugged the nearest pillow to her chest.
"I do want to see you again, please come back..."

^~^~^~^

"All Nobles of Canterlot rise. This meeting has been called to discuss the fates of Fluer de Lis and the former 'Sir' Fancypants. Both ponies have been brought here on claims of seditious acts against the nation. Both have plead guilty. There is no denying the truth, so the task of discerning their fate comes down to us. Let us begin." called Prince Blueblood from his raised pulpit.

The next few hours were used by the many nobles in Canterlot to discuss when, where and how the pairs execution would take place. Yet Blueblood, having become far more useful as of late, couldn't help but notice the youngest noble in the room had not said a thing, but instead had been staring at the accused pair with an obscure look on his face.

"Order, please, it has come to my attention, Sir Peregrine, that you have yet to say anything to us about your thoughts. Would you mind sharing what you have been contemplating?" questioned the prince.

The young stallion looked about before clearing his throat.
"Ahem, yes, I do apologise, as you all know, yet another caravan of mine was hit recently. And, yet again, many of the captured workers were executed. True, it was hanging, magical sedation and beheading, much like what we do ourselves, but it had me thinking. Are we, the Nobles of Canterlot, the most elite ponies in the whole of Equestria with only set below Her Highness herself, better than our enemy? Our enemy wants to say that we murder the innocent, viewing themselves as the innocent party. As such, mayhaps it is not the best of ideas to execute them. While I am far from agreeing with their ideas, speaking openly against her Highness and such, if my employees are killed for working for us, then would we not be labelled just as bad, if not worse, for killing a pair who simply spoke up against Princess Celestia? Feel free to disagree with me however you like, but it is simply my own opinion."

Blueblood narrowed his eyes as he seemingly scrutinised Peregrine before leaning back with a smile.
"Ah, how I wish all of today's young were that wise. I can't help but agree, needless violence begets needless violence, and we are all better than the scum out there, are we not? I see a lot of me in you young Sir Peregrine, and as such I will relinquish this pair for you to do with as you see fit, I'm sure a bright up and coming mind like yours can find a just punishment. Oh, and may I ask who your friend is behind you?"

Peregrine just bowed and smiled.
"White-gold Concordat. He is here discussing mineral trading deals with me between the Zebricans and I."

"Well, best of luck in your venture then, Sir Peregrine, best of luck in-"

Anything the Prince meant to say was cut off as a thunderous explosion tore through the entry way doors, scattering the guards inside. Walking steadily and coolly out of the debris was a grey alicorn that nopony recognised, where her eyes should have been instead were two hollow holes. She wore a cocky and sure grin on her face as she hauled the nearest pegasi guard to her.

"Well, the hell are you waiting for? Bring me the queen bitch, Tia and I have business to attend to."


Author's Note

So, riddle me this.

Should I continue balancing the three arcs in one chapter, or should I do separate chapters for separate arcs?

Separate Chapters would prolly be shorter, but less jumbled, and if I continue with all in one, you can expect the chapters to start getting a bit bigger.

Ya'lls choice.

Oh, and yeah, love to hear the opinions on Tia Sparkle.

Finally, getting laptop back on 19th(provided there are no issues) so writing will pick up again.

Next Chapter
