The Bliss of Alex - Final Mix

Chapter 2 - The Enigma

The scene changes from the conversation with Alex and Sareena, to the home of our not so fortunate unicorn, Silver.

(PoV: Silver)

Why is it that whenever I try to help somepony, they just get angry with me? Look, I know that I'm not perfect at stuff but that doesn't give you a reason to be a bully to others. I've been living my whole life in fear and sadness, waiting for some miracle to come and sweep my troubles away. I've seen this happen to a couple of other ponies, but for some reason or another, it never happens to me. Is my existence really not that important? Do I actually serve a purpose here on this world? These kinds of questions keep lingering in my head, but for whatever reason, I keep going, regardless of the situation. I'm in my house right now, clueless on what I should do next. I simply just head to my bedroom and lay on my bed, staring into the ceiling. "What I wouldn't give to have a friend to comfort me...*sniff*...what I wouldn't give..." I said as I slowly started sobbing, remembering the awful things the others said to me.

"Is that all you got?"

"You're so pathetic."

"Like I'd be friends with you, loser."

Nopony would understand how much suffering I've gone through in my life...All I need is a friend...just one...is that too much to ask for? Just give me one and it will show me that there is somepony out there who is actually listening to me, showing that they care for me, and most of all...they will be at my side...forever.

"Your wish is my command..." A voice called out. I looked around my room but there was nopony in here besides me. Then a flash of light appeared blinding me for a bit. When it cleared, there was a ball of gold light flying in front of me. "Greetings, Silver..." I was in absolute shock to see this appear.

"Who...What are you?" I asked the light.

"Do not be afraid. My name is Alex, the guardian of your world...I've been watching you for 15 years now and have seen the unfortunate events you've experienced. I have had enough of it and decided to defy my peoples' orders so that I can help you." Wow.....after all this time, somepony WAS actually watching me...wait a minute!

"If you've been watching me for all this time, then how come you didn't step in sooner?" I asked Alex

"I can't come down to the world with my physical body, it breaks the rules of my world and I could banished for that. If I am banished, I have no physical body to control, so I will end up dead." He responded as I now understood his situation. "Silver...will come with me to join our organization? This experience is only for gifted individuals...you will be a true hero."

"What if I refuse?"

"Then you will continue to live this terrible lifestyle and my efforts of trying to help you will prove to be useless."

"NO! I don't want to live this way anymore! Take me with you!" I demanded.

"As I said before...your wish is my command." Then from there everything became really bright, which also caused me to have a splitting headache.

(Song End)

(PoV: Alex)

What I expected to be nothing more than a simple teleport spell actually turned out to be something much greater. Not only did I have to bring Silver along with me, but I also had to quickly change back into my physical form. When we arrived at the Eternity Realm he was out cold, probably due to all that power within that teleportation spell.

Well...I did it.

It took me my whole 15 years as an organization member to have the guts to pull it off, but none the less I managed to succeed in bringing Silver here. Now all I got to do is wait for him to wake up...but how will I pass the time now?...Perhaps I should see what Sareena has in store for him. After all, she is the most forgiving person I know. She can't possibly turn down helping a pony like Silver.

The scene changes from Alex looking over at Silver to two figures watching them closely through the taller of the two's magic. They were both organization members due to them wearing the dark robes with both of their hoods on cloaking their faces. Analyzing their body structure, one was male and the other was female with the male being the taller of them. The man then stopped his magic, thus fading the scene with Alex and Silver. He then looks over to the woman.

"So he has finally done it..." the man said with a deep voice, "After all these years of me telling him how foolish it is to help the helpless, he still has learned nothing..."

"It's like you told me father..." the woman said, "One who knows nothing...can understand...nothing." You couldn't tell but the man was smiling under his hood at how her daughter had grown to understand one of the organizations lessons about certain enigmas such as themselves and Alex.

"It is good to see that you understand how certain individuals may not be trustworthy towards our group.....Sareena." The man responded to his daughter's knowledge. "Since you have brought me this information, we must cast him out of the organization...and you will be my only child." The woman was excited to hear this news, but she also wondered how would they go about banishing him with Silver at his side now.

"But father," Sareena began to ask, "what of the unicorn? What shall become of him now that Alex his befriended him?" The man simply gave out a small evil laugh, then said...

"It is simple...we trick them both into thinking their going through the initiation phase of the group, and we send them to the Forest of Dismemberment where they shall no doubt be killed. Number 10 is simply to inexperienced in combat to survive the monster that awaits him." This still brought worry to Sareena.

"There is still a chance of him surviving though...what if he makes it out alive?" Sareena asked in a troubled voice.

"Then we shall send him to the planet below and have the other personally take care of him...I only told that fool to never release himself to that world so he wouldn't foil our true plan of absorbing the power of the Elements of Harmony by means of surprise." The man said, which also reassured Sareena. "The princesses know not of the true power that the Enigmas of the Eternity Organization hold! We will be victorious in our conquest! Not even the elements with the other 3 princesses' power COMBINED will be enough to stop us!....Sareena, I need you to initiate the plan now." He than summons a dark portal. "Take number 10 to the forest along with his unicorn companion."

"As you command.....Ryota." The woman says before taking off her hood to reveal Sareena with her long blonde hair with black eyes. She slowly walks inside the portal and it fades away when she fully enters.

"Get ready Equestria..." Ryota says to himself, "Your new and ultimate leader is approaching..."
