The Reason We Love

"Come on Simon!" Fast Flame yelled to her half brother. "We are gonna be late for dinner!" The two ponies giggled as they ran through the crystal halls. Nearing the dinning room the two stopped. Crowding around the door, were many guards and servants. More then usual. The two teenage ponies examied the the large crowd, looking at the great marble doors Fast Flame gasped as she saw that blood splattered them. She began shaking, making her brother vibrate next to her. Following Flame's eyes, Simon spotted the blood to.

       Looking at his sister he noticed tears in her eyes. "Fast Flame? Ar-are you alright?" Simon asked.

  Fast Flame looked into his eyes making him tear up to. "They're back..." She wispered. One of the servants turned around only to see the Prince and Princess crying quietly. The servant (who's name was Sofie) came over and draped a wing over Fast Flame. Flame nuzzled into Sofie crying softly.

"Do you care to explain what happened?" Simon asked sternly. "And who is 'they?'"

"Many years ago there was a fued between the Chaos Bringers and the ponies of Equestria. Our people made the Bringers mad and they promised to bring war upon our land. Fast Flame's great grandfather laughed not bothering to take the warning seriously. The Chaos Bringers left never to be seen again, until today that is... Some how a Chaos Bringer broke into palace killing both of your parents." Sofie explained. The story though, only made Fast Flame cry harder. "Simon you are to be sent back to your homeland. Fast Flame, I'm afraid you have to stay here."

      "HOLD UP! O-our parents are dead?! And I have to return to the safety of my homeland only to let Fast Flame die here!? I will not let it be this way!" Simon yelled turning all heads toward him.

"Simon," Flame croaked. "I'll be fine."

Simon reached over and pulled his sister into a hug. Simon wispered to his sister before letting her go:

"I will not let you die."
