The Epic of Clearia

The knocking was what awoke me, as I wondered to myself who that could be, a faint noise, a whine then I knew that Faria was awake. With a sigh I pick her up and we both went to the door to see who it could be at this hour.

In the chilling night of November, I open the door and brace myself for the cold wind, but luckily for me and Faria we opened to  a windless night the streetlights and road aglow, not a single pony is awake at this hour of Twilight, but still I can't find a better reason to be awake than to answer knock on my door.

"A note",I said.I pick it up and begin to read

My Dear Friend,

I hope that the family is doing well with the death of your husband recently, I pray for him and you both everyday.But that is not what I was writing to you about, I am changing, yes, I can tell I see darkness, raging fires, blood, death, and destruction. That I can not help but the way I act to counter them is strong, not strong enough to last forever but a year or two,maybe. But the main reason I was writing to you was to ask a favor of you, my dear you may think its bad now with your husband's recent death but it can only get better from here and I know things seem hard, hell this is hard for me but I need you to protect something prized to me something that I'm afraid I would destroy If i kept it for to much longer. All that I ask is that you protect it for me with all your heart I have sent a few thousand bits to help you in exchange of this, but don't stay in Ponyville, it will be the first that's turned and soon others but if you leave soon you may leave before it gets to much worse. Sweetie-Belle my most beautiful and most cherished prize is in the basket along with the money just please, please leave and change your names if you have to but you need to leave and take everything with you. You have made me so proud how much you have grown from the CMC to a loving mother and grieving widow, I only wish i could say the same about myself.

Your dear friend, mentor, and princess

-Twilight

As I look at the letter, the tears are already forming in my eyes. I then look at the basket, my magical golden glow appearing over

the lid and as it is removed I see a small baby unicorn, only weeks old, I gasp to realize that this was Princess Twilight's daughter, her name it slips my mind, but I quickly pull the basket inside. Shocked by what I just read looked over it again, this time though I saw on the back

P.S. Her name is Clearia

I just fall back onto my easy chair and think about how, or should I say why, the princess decided to ask me to do this?

Was it a test? Or something really important like Twilight has to learn to be a mother? But why change towns and names?

I wish that i had at least one answer to my question and then I thought to myself, why not a spying spell,I mean maybe Twilight can shed some light on this.

As I walk to my mirror I whisper the spell so the babies won't wake up. But what I saw was horrifying as the picture zoomed in i could see Twilight standing above a bloody Luna and I could see Celestia in the distance yelling with tears rolling down her face. Twilight looks up and a beam of blackness shoots from here horn hitting Celestia. with what looks like a cry of pain she hits the floor and doesn't move.

I have already started crying at this point.

As she looks around at the room she then teleports herself out into her room where she lays down in bed and she waits for the sound that she will have been expecting and will act as if she wants to find the assassin, to take and to kill them herself as she would probably say.

I then realize that this is  what she meant by that she is changing.But so soon that's what I didn't realize.

I quickly start to gather my things then stop and rush to get the kids awake.

"Hey! Kids wake up!" I yell.

Landy asks "What time is it?"

"2:30 in the morning," Candy replies.

"Come on guys, I need to talk to you real quick." I yelled and before they knew it I doused them in ice water.

"MOM"! They said in unison.

"Come on we are leaving",I say.

"This is because dad died, isn't it." He cried.

"You shut your mouth,he will be back, he will be you wait and see!" I screamed.

"Mom, he's gone, he dead!" He yelled, I started crying again and he noticed and softened up.

"Hey, hey its okay, it will be okay,"he said while we hugged and Candy was quiet thinking very hard about something.

"Hey, why did you need us up anyways?" She asked after a second.

My eyes widen, and so did theirs when I told them the whole story.

"So let me get this straight Twilight gave you her baby and three-thousand bits to watch over while she turns evil and kills Celestia and Luna?" Landy asked.

"Yep, so that is why we have to get out of here,"I replied."So grab what you can and we will run while we still have a chance."

We gathered our things, and started out on our journey, only stopping on the hill outside of Ponyville

"Goodbye, my home, my town, my friends, my old life. Time to begin Anew." I said with courage and we trudged on through the cold to get to our new life.
