Sacrifice

"Discord! I will not let you hurt my daughters!"

"Anything for Whisper and Breve."

       Breve jolted awake. She'd been hearing snippets of conversations in her dreams. She'd fallen asleep while reading a book in Twilight's library, waiting for a reply from Princess Celestia.

        "You looked like you were having a nightmare." Whisper sat next to her sister.

        "I heard Daddy's voice." Breve said timidly. Whisper hugged her sister.

        "Don't worry. Dad'll be back, I promise." Whisper said to her sister.

        "Good news. We found your father. He was in a cave just out of Ponyville." Twilight came in.

        "What do you mean it didn't work?" Whisper asked Twilight.

        "We tried the spell seven times. Something inside him is rejecting it." Twilight said.

        "So, Daddy's gone?" Breve asked.

        "I'm sorry." Twilight said.
