The Night She Fled

This was the story. It always happened. It always occurred, it never failed. Once you had the eyes, your fate was sealed. But Starlight went to another time. Involuntarily of course. She did what she could. Starlight did what she knew to do... And now that was wrong. Luna may have came to power, but that didn't explain things well enough. Why was she chosen to go back? Who was in the shadows? All the questions swarmed her now. And as for being reborn in her own body, a "miracle." Now she had to change her world. She had to do what she could for herself. Fate had no choice in the matter. A single breath was stolen. It was all it took. Starlight now must do what she can with what she knows now. The gift will finally not be in vain.

Finally waking up in the bed, Starlight yawned out. Not much seemed to made clear to the doctors who, simply put, were baffled. A pony basically dead, coming back? It was unheard of even to magic. But here Starlight stood. Or well laid. Stand being hypothetical of course. And to top it all off, Starlight of course had eyes not her own. They weren't pearl like normally a chosen one had. She had completely midnight blue eyes, with the added glow. She had eyes unlike her own in so many ways yet so simply deviated from the original that many just thought she was just stronger, with a new added sense of life. Even as true as that was, she still had her destiny to accomplish. She didn't face the great reaper himself in a trial of justice to be just Starlight. She had to find out who was killing off the pearl eyes. She had to find the next chosen one, and save them. This curse would be no-more.

"Starlight, how is this possible?" The doctor flat out asked. Without a word, Starlight walked out and headed home. She was tired. She longed for sleep that would take her away from the current problems.Longed for comfort, solitude, and her own thoughts and dreams. Sadly, however, she wouldn't find it. Luna herself decided amongst the matter to visit Starlight.

"Hello Starlight. Are you well?" The alicorn asked tenderly. Her only mustered strength allowed her but a moan. "I guess that means not so... I was wishing to speak to you, if that is alright." Sigh so much for a good night's sleep. "I assume you are silent because you are curious. I shall continue." Luna said nevertheless. It was hard to tell people that you didn't want their company, when they were royalty. Especially since Luna probably remembered her from back when.

"I wanted to thank you. If it was not for you that night-" That night... "-I wouldn't be the ruler I am today. I'm not sure how you accomplished it, but you did. I thank you greatly for this. I just want you to know that I personally watched over the doctors as they brought you to the hospital. I watched you slumber." Totally not creepy Luna. I was amazed and stunned when you were alive after the events that occurred. You were out for quite some time. I hoped you would recover quickly, as there was much we needed to talk about." Uh-oh...
