Darksoul had been living his new life with Screwball for a few weeks now, and it seemed natural to each of them that they were siblings. And though Darksoul was obviously older then Screwball they commonly played childish games together during the night and slept in screwballs poorly created mess of a house....It was chaos she replied the first time Darksoul asked about it. Strangely enough it had

two beds, Screwball for what ever reason never seemed lacking of what she needed and usually found

it with ease he noticed.

Screwballs favorite game was tag, for in her own words "I never lose to you nya nya nya

nyyyaaaa naaaa"

holding out her tongue and wiggling it at him every time she said it. Sometimes Darksoul laughed, but most often he pointed out that she was cheating by flying into the air (somehow without wings).One night Darksoul just didn't feel like playing, secretly even before

he had died he'd always wished to fly. Screwballs normally impish gazes turned to sadness, she saw her brother was sad. Landing beside him she nuzzled her way under his foreleg into a hug and asked

"Why can't you fly brother?" Darksoul couldn't help himself, he laughed at such a ludicrous question.

"Screwy can't you see I have only one wing....and even that too is malformed." he replied softly, wistfully. "Well I have no wings at all!" she replied looking indignant  "So does that mean I shouldn't fly?" she pushed

"Well...ahhhh " Darksoul stammered caught off guard by a good question "Well are you a unicorn or a Pegasus?" she asked curiously. "A bit of both I suppose" he said thoughtfully looking at the stars. Then he shook his head and replied "and yet neither in the end."

"My mother was a Pegasus, and my father a unicorn, I remember that though the memories seem far away" he spoke to Screwball,

"Not your normal union I guess." he continued. "They had me, I don't remember my original name, but I remember my wings (if one could call a half wing such) were always this way, and my horn didn't used to be broken. I was lucky too for that I think....."

"Why" whispered Screwball. He chose his words carefully "Well...I think If I had only been a Pegasus I would have been discarded at birth, with only one wing and all.... But because my horn was proper and I showed the normal abilities of a unicorn I was put into magic school" it was hard for him to  fully remember at this point but he continued his explanation as best he could.

"My parents were wonderful to me even though the kids weren't. I remember that much, so as short as my life was it still taught me the love of family."

"Ummmmmmm...." Screwball said quietly fidgeting beneath Darksouls leg. "What is it Screwy?"he asked with a comforting smile.

"Ummmmm....brother......I don't want to make you sad but..." she said looking at the ground whilst nervously playing with her tail.

"Ahhhhh I think I see." Darksoul said drawing her gently closer in his hug.

"Your curious how you found me in the pile. "She simply nodded tears welling up in her eyes. He wiped them away with his other hove and simply replied "I failed."

"What do you mean brother?" she asked eyes still trembling near tears. Darksoul pressed his cheek to hers in comfort and spoke quietly.

"I failed magic school, and was sent to the factory."

"THATS HORRIBLE!" shouted out Screwball in sudden anger.

Darksoul put a  hove to Screwballs lips to quiet her and said with a smile  "What happened there was indeed horrible, but my fate was not. Others hated or were disgusted by me anyways. But in death I gained the greatest thing!"  he moved his hove away from her mouth seeing she had (an obvious) question...."What's that brother?"

"WHY YOU OF COURSE!" he shouted as he picked her up and in one fell swoop tossed her in the  air catching her as  fell laughing. "I gained my new family, and if my last life taught me anything, it's to put my family first!"
