Memories Of Days Past

Chapter Eight

         I can see my former ally and friend start to raise the moon and lower the sun. Memories of old are hard to eliminate, I know that they don’t raise the sun or moon, but “old” habits die hard. They didn’t even care about Twilight Sparkle, I have been gone for nearly a month now and not even a search party or anything. You would maybe think if two of the saviors of the world disappear, some people would be worried, or at least cause some suspicion. Deep down I had some amount that they were just using me but I really didn’t want that to be true.

        Planeswalkers really lose a sense of time, a decade is nothing more than a tiny sliver of our lives, it’s so insignificant that when he said we have to hurry it really meant we have a year or two to enact The Grand Design, now fast forward a year and we are where we changed the world and caused a end to false order.

~~One Year Later~~

        You could feel the tension in the air, I was at the eve of a new generation of progress and advancement. The Twilight Sparkle in me was shouting at me to stop this and how horrible the way of doing this was, but that part of me was a falsity so I shut it up.

        This moment only came from hard work, and sacrifices made for the greater good. We lost many that day, but their sacrifices were not made in vain. The beginning of the end as the oppressors called it, but really it was the beginning of a new era of freedom.

I remember that day we actually succeeded, he wasn’t smiling, no celebrations, he just said one thing, “Those who sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither.”

We got everything we worked for, Celestia on her knees about to pay for her crimes, next to her was Luna. We were all waiting for them to face judgement.

I raise my sword and steel myself for the action I am about to commit, “Any last words.”

“Why, why are you doing all this Twilight?”

“That’s not my name anymore, and as to why, oh I’m sure if you really think, you already know that answer.”

“Don’t do anything you’ll regret Twilight.”

“How many times do I have to tell you Twilight is gone!”

I stab the sword into the ground next to her face and she looks up in fear, I glare at her, turn around and start to walk away. Behind me I hear movement from Sara and the planeswalker, looking back I see them release the two alicorns and say something to them. They look back in sheer shock and agree with whatever they were told to.

“You might not have killed them, but The Grand Design is complete, we have succeeded in our goals. I am are ready for my departure on this plane leaving this in the good hands of Sara and you, do not worry I will be back soon.”

“Wait, you're leaving us, why we need you!”

“Sorry kiddo, trust me I’ll be back as soon as possible, just take care of the place for me.”

He smiles and gives each of us a hug and slowly starts to dissipate into the air around us. Silently Sara and I grab our gear and move out towards the remains of Canterlot.

~~One Year Later~~

        Time, what a beautiful thing, it dulls pains, erases ill, and promises a tomorrow. It’s been a year since he left, we keep our word and take care of Equs for him, it’s hard a times and wish we could go back to the days of causing mischief and fun.

        Celestia and Luna tried to regain power when they heard he left, it didn’t work completely, but they did gather some support and now we have a stupid resistance to deal with. Sara later told me what they had told Celestia and Luna, something about run and never come back. Well, they kept their word pretty well, so next time I have the chance they are going to die.

        The door slams open and there Sara is walking in after doing whatever she does nowadays. She slumps on the couch next to me and sighs.

        “We don’t have much time left before we have to act, Celestia and Luna are gaining more and more support as we speak. We need to start our contingency plan, you know as well as I do we can’t let them win.”

        “I know, but what is there left to protect our forces are being decimated, our army of ten thousand is now less than a thousand strong. You also know the contingency plan will only work if he gets here in time, and who knows when that’ll be.”

        “While you were sitting here, I did go out and try to make a few allies from around the multiverse and I got a few friends.”

        “You know I could have helped you if you told me what you were doing.”

        “I know, but I had to do this alone, don’t ask why either, I just had to.”

        “Fine, whatever, so you got the allies right?”

        “Yeah, other planeswalkers three of them to be precise, there’s Nyx Mykelios, Valkyr Hussar, and of course Kyra Mykolos.”

        “What, you found him and you didn’t tell me?”

        “No, I didn’t find him Valkyr told me he would be coming to help when the time is right, the others will be arriving soon to quell this damnable uprising.”

        I walk out a bit and walk around for a bit, the walls around here make it look pretty terrifying at night, kinda like an evil fortress or castle for a fairy tale villain. The camp looks like a cobbled up mess, but then again only have twenty or thirty people actually here makes it like that. The only people who actually live here are Sara and I, and even we don’t stay here that long.

        The alarms start ringing, I hear shouts from the eastern wall, they wouldn’t attack now, or would they...
