Chapter 3: Finding answers and making more questions/Nyx Side

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Nyx could not have had a worse day in all of her life Not even the time were she did Equestria wrong and the growing pain that lasted for months that would insure. This type of pain was unfamiliar to Nyx but it hurt. It hurt so much that she couldn't move all she could ponder was why she wasn't with her when she died and why she couldn't get a final goodbye. The sound of doors opening went into her mind, but she still couldn't see anything after what had just happened. She had also had a glowing sound in her head, the pain kept her from finding out what it was. All she could do at the moment while she was there was fall asleep from the pain that was in her head and her heart.


Night was in the sky when Nyx awoke and still having the pain of her mothers loss fresh in her heart and mind. She looked across her room looking at a familiar brother dragon and looking at the only thing she could call family. She looked around it was her room nothing much had changed. Nyx lunged out of her bed, grabbed the gems Celestia and Luna gave her and Spike, and descended out of the window using her wings and ran towards a place were she never wanted to go again but had go. As pain led her towards the Everfree forest.

Nyx wondered into the forest and felt the fear in her heart wash over with anger as she went to go to the castle of the two sisters. She traversed every obstacle the dangerous forest with either avoiding it or just using magic to handle it. She did eventually make it to the castle, But didn't go towards it, instead she went towards the cause of her mothers loss.

The Tree of Harmony

She approached the slowly dying tree with a angry glare. The tree was still blue with magic, but it wouldn't be like that if they didn't find the elements. Nyx kept glaring at it for a couple of minutes until she sat up and put the most hateful glare she had ever put on someone.

"What did you do to her because I know you did something to her didn't you?!" Nyx screamed at the tree. She continued, "Magic only happens for a reason and at the end of the yellow crystals recording I heard a magical well.. pop and you were the only thing powerful enough to do something to them! so... I will ask again only one time... WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!" Nyx's mane changed from dark purple to the glow of the dark sky. If you were to compare it to the night it would look at its finest.

The tree didn't respond. This only made Nyx more angry as she continued to stomp her hoof and blast a few rocks with her horn all the while threatening the tree. After a hour of this she glared and the tree one last time as she began to.... cry. She began to cry and was releasing everything all the while her mane slowly changed back to its normal self and she became less angry ,but began to feel more pain and more fear of everything that had happened in the past day and began to release.

Nyx cried out "Please.. just let me find my mommy." the filly was sobbing her heart out wave after wave after wave she couldn't stop. She didn't know how long she was crying, but she didn't care all she cared about right know was the thing that she loved most of all more than anything else in the world... her mother Twilight Sparkle. On and on this went until something happened... but it wasn't the tree. Gigantic vines that came from the tree were know going after Nyx. She realized this, but it was two late before one of them got to her and grabbed her tangling her up until there was no more of her face or body there. She tried to brake free of the vines using her magic or wings she gave a good fight but the vines cut off her magic and broke her wings. She screamed in agony at her broken wings and still tried to flail around but it was no use the vines had her completely at her mercy. The vines held her tight by her hooves, neck, and wings. The vines charged back and began to jab directly at her heart.

"NOT AGAIN!" Shouted a voice burning the vines out and freeing Nyx. Landing on her belly and was hurt, refused  to faint. It took a few tries to see who it was it looked like Twilight, but then the person began to decrease in size until there was a familiar dragon that was her family. Nyx tried to get up with her broken wings. cracked horn, and aching body only to soon drop again but accompanied by a certain dragon catching her. She wouldn't let herself slip not now.

"W-wha-what are y-you doing here S-spike?" Nyx stuttered up. Spike turned his head towards Nyx.

"To save you from dying which I barely did with Chase's help... listen I know how torn up you are about mom but right know we need to focus and try to figure out what happened with mom." Nyx looked up at Spike and he just grinned. "Hey you're not the only one curious about what happened are you?" Nyx just laughed a bit before coughing rapidly.

Spike frowned at the sight Nyx hurt and turned to the pony behind him that was Chase. Spike looked at Chase as well as he did the same.

"Do you think you two will be able to find out?" He said. Nyx thought for a moment and looked up at the cave ceiling. Nyx thought about the question in her head and debated weather or not they would. With each moment in the cave thinking, as well as catching her relaxing trying not to think of the pain in her forehead and back, she began to think.

Can we figure it out? Will we ever find out? And if we even do find out, how will we find mom? Were is she anyway? Why not just figure it out instead of sitting here and worrying about it?

The last question caught her off guard, but still pondered at the sudden thought. Why was she worrying so much about that could happen when she should be worried about whats happening now?

'I should find mom no matter what happens and if something does happen then either i let it happen or we try to fix it no matter what'

Nyx looked up at Chase in a determined smile and also noticed Spike smiling in determination, but either way it made Chase smile as well

"I don't know, maybe we will never find out, but should at least try to find something we have a right to." Spike said. Nyx nodded and Chase lowered his horn to Nyx and began to cast a spell. Nyx screamed a little as she felt something in her whole body. but the pain dimmed down a little and Nyx was set down on the ground. She got up and felt her horn was repaired and her wings were slightly healed.

"That was a healing spell for your injured horn and some minor scrapes, but the bones on your wings will have to heal on there own." She sighed in relief knowing that her wings weren't anything else but broken. Nyx looked at the tree and were the elements used to be at... nothing came to mind... but with every passing moment she wanted to find Twilight even more, but with everything she could think of and even looking at the castle library above them from the tree. after several hours of finding nothing.... They still found nothing... nothing but thoughts and theories about the elements.

"UGH, were getting nowhere and were nowhere closer than we starter!" Spike said obvious frustrated about the whole situation.

'okay let's think this through starting from the beginning' Nyx said to herself. ' Twilight disappeared from the dying tree because the tree was trying to save them from something from the forest.. but what could it be aside from the forest unless it is the forest...' Nyx stopped to ponder at that moment. Although she could here Spike and Chase talking, she focused on her thoughts 'so the tree was trying to protect them from the growing threat of the forest so that eventually they would wake up and.... save us.' Nyx checked her head if she was hearing herself correctly. Obviously the tree was smarter than the group thought, but the question still remained were the mane 6?

Nyx began to think again 'The tree did a spell but what kind i mean if they were sent somewhere that would make sense but even if that were the case they would be out of Equestria and out of reach the rest of us ponies here... so it wasn't out of country.' Nyx began to get a little aggravated but did start to think of possibilities again. 'it would also have to be somewhere safe, somewhere were most magic would be useless in and .... probably out, and would be hidden from the rest of the world, but if the entirety of Equestria would sucome to the vines... or worse even in cloudsdale and even were the diamond dogs lived.' the more Nyx found answers the more it didn't make sense to Nyx. the more she found answers to one riddle more riddles popped up.

'Ok just think Nyx if it didn't send them to a PLACE thennnnn.....' Nyx stopped herself right there.. No there was no way... but it was possible you would have to have a insane amount of magic to do that though.. but then again it is the Tree Of Harmony... there was just one question left in the filly's mind know

WHAT object was the mane six sent in?

Nyx began to look around for anything to catch her eye the tree itself looked like a suitable place.. The tree itself caught her eye. 'But if the tree died then they would die too.' Nyx's heart began to pound faster and faster as she looked around in hope of were it they could be. she still began too look around and the tree caught her eye again, but this time it was the something on the tree that used to be there. "The elements maybe?.....'

Nyx mind clicked in her thoughts, It made sense if the elements were sent to a place far across Equestria in a safe haven then they would eventually save the day, she collected the Purple gems that Celestia gave her and took it to the tree but nothing happened. she looked at the gem and looked at the gem and re-arranged it and it indeed was the element of magic, but then why was it not reacting to it? Nyx looked at it and thought if they aren't in the elements then were are they? Nyx started the train of thought again 'okay if it is something connected to the tree of harmony then lets think... the elements are connected to mom and the rest.. the elements are connected to the tree the and  the tree is connected to the chest that used to be there with the...!!' Nyx's head had just clicked again in her head and went towards spike and Chase.

"Guys! i know what happened to mom and the others!" spike and Chase stared at her dumbfounded at Nyx not believing her for a second. she sheepishly scratched her head "Ok i will have to explain."


After Nyx explained to Chase and Spike looked baffled at Nyx for this.

Chase was the first to recover and ask "Ok I get that there trapped inside the castle, but how are we get them out?" Nyx paused at this and looked distraught. She didn't think of a way for them to get out of there and recover them back to the real world... if they even could.

"I think I can think of one idea." a voice said that made everypony stop in there tracks.

Just then a magical door appeared beside the tree and with a bang the door popped open with confetti and came out with a familiar draconequus popping out of the door.

"Honestly Celestia you should have a big opening for you whenever you go somewhere it is really fun." With that everypony turned at entrance of the cave where Celestia and Luna came out "And you two Luna I imagine yours would be like the moon rising behind you." Luna rolled her eyes at what Discord said along with Celestia chuckling to herself at that statement. Nyx, Spike, and Chase all looked shocked at the princess and almost immediately tensed at the sight of the three except Chase who stood still.

"Princesses..." Chase said and thought to himself for a second "You knew we would be here so you wanted us to figure out what happened to them and since Nyx is a lot like Twilight and is as smart as her she would be able to figure out what happened to them." It was Celestia's and Luna's turn to be startled by something unexpected. Celestia recovered quickly as fast as Chase and spoke.

"Yes we did, but we did not think you three knew what we were doing." Chase looked serious "We thought if anything you three would find out the truth before any of us did." Nyx looked at Spike and he did the same and then looked back at the two princesses.

Nyx confused beyond all comprehension looked at Luna and Celestia. 'Why would they want us to do that its not like they couldn't do it....right?'

Luna spoke in a very serious manner almost in a Canterlot voice. "We could not enter the this area.. and in turn not figure out what had happened to them." Nyx stood shocked and turned to the tree. She knew what this had meant but why her and.. Nyx turned to Spike as he did the same.

"Upon trying to enter the area we were met with a barrier that blocked us and gave us a vision of you three and us at the time." Celestia said in a calm manner but still the seriousness in her eyes kept the group focused. "And shortly outside the area we find the...lifeless bodies of the mane six..." Celestia was reluctant to say that as she looked away from the three in front of her, as if bracing herself for something.

Nyx closed her eyes from the lingering pain inside her chest and began the pain cycle all over again. before closing her know pain filled eyes she did catch a glimpse of Spike having the same problem she did only he looked down and tears began to wash over while she was almost bending over with her hoof on her chest. Why was that? Why was she always so emotional and with that every time she did why would her magic react to it? and what more importantly is Celestia doing?. The thoughts raced around in Nyx's head and continued two until a voice interrupted.

"But I do not lose hope that we can bring those lifeless bodies back to life." Nyx and Spike both raised their heads up to Princess Celestia in hope following her words.

Luna stepped forward "We found the bodies of the bodies of the mane six but we didn't think they were dead.. We even brought it to some of the best doctors in canterlot and they also confirmed death on several magical instances, But we knew otherwise because of the tree so we were going to ask you three to see if there was a problem while we had to deal with the growing urge of the ponies wondering what had happened." At that point Nyx got furious and stomped in front of the two sisters.

"SO YOU LIED TO US ABOUT THEM BEING DEAD?!" Nyx held no rage behind as she furiously stomped her hoof and was even ready to blast a spell at them.

"No we didn't. We were going to tell you but... the looks on your faces, the tragedy and both the pain and sorrow that struck you, were to much for our hearts to handle. After all we never said they were dead." Nyx immediately stopped after that and looked at the Princesses in horror. how could that elude her and how could that be?,,, At this point Nyx felt stupidity itself hit her head and hoof planted her face many times. After this they continued

"We are sorry we didn't tell you earlier but you two needed to recover because you either got lost in a trance or just went into your head and you were to traumatized and you... lost your senses. " Celestia said. Nyx again felt like she made a huge mistake for both her sake, Spikes, and Twilight's.

But Spike spoke beside her "Well with that aside if Nyx found out what had happened and that there trapped in the castle how do we get them out?" Everypony paused for a second that all had not occurred to them.

Nyx was trying to come up with something in her head but only found one conclusion. "Well if we can't find out a problem here then lets find out at my house!".
