Epilogue: Death of the Twilight Tradition

Fro many years, ever since Twilight was a filly, she had been intimidated by her mother and that icy cold glare she always gave her but no longer. For the first time in her life, Twilight stood up to Velvet and it felt good, very good. What Twilight had planned next would feel even better, reversing that fertility spell and ensuring the death of what she considered an immoral, unethical and downright disgusting family tradition.

As they headed into the library Twilight headed to the section involving fertility spells. She knew that the book she took to her bedroom may have had a reversal spell in it but with the way her mother had been behaving, she had no desire to retrieve it. She continued to go through the books until she found one titled, "Fertility, Infertility and Reversal Spells."

She levitated it to herself and first checked the table of contents so that she would not have to spend so much time searching for it. She whispered to herself, "Pages 53-58, now to find the right one."

Velvet heard her whispering and snapped, "What were you saying little filly?"

Twilight ignored her and began to read through all the reversal spells. The first one she found involved reversing a penis enlargement spell for stallions, the next involved reversing a futa spell for mares and then she found what she was looking for, fertility reversal spells for horns.

She began to memorize the spell when the book was grabbed away by Velvet. Velvet stood there holding the book in her aura and snapped, "Oh no you don't little filly!" She intensified her hold and continued, "Unless you let mama do what she wants, I'll destroy this book and you won't be able to reverse the spell."

Twilight attempted to grab the book away from Velvet and ordered, "Give me my book or else!"

Velvet mocked, "Oooh, give me my book back or else!" She began to laugh, "Or what? What are you going to do, haul your poor mother to Tartarus, have your lover banish me to the moon, have your lover's sister banish me to the sun?"

Twilight approached her mother, bit down on her horn and snapped, "No, I'll remove this thing and take ALL of your magic away!"

Velvet screamed out in agony when Twilight clamped down on her horn. She was able to break free from Twilight and yelled, "Fine, you win! You can go ahead and kill a wonderful tradition!"

Twilight laughed, "I plan on it!" She again grabbed the aura in her book and ordered, "Stand still."

Despite being incredibly angry that Twilight was going to do this, she did as ordered. Once Twilight had focused on the spell enough, she felt that she was ready. She grabbed Velvet in her aura and recited,

"While the mare enjoys spreading the seed of life
by doing this she has caused much strife
normal this is not
it is despised by a lot
this ability can no longer be
free from the father's role she shall now be."

As she finished reciting the spell, a powerful bolt of energy shot out from Twilight's horn and struck her mother. While the fertility spell did not cause her any pain, the reversal spell hurt her quite a bit. Once it was finished Velvet yelled, "Twilight, that hurt! How could you do that to your poor mother?"

Given everything that Velvet had done to her that day, Twilight was in no mood to hear it. She snapped, "Spare me your whining Velvet, I don't want to hear it." Velvet began to say something but Twilight wouldn't give her the chance. She interrupted, "Spare me your whining mom. With what you wanted to do to me today, a little headache is the least of your problems."

Velvet gave her daughter a glare and sneered, "Well Twily, how does it feel to have killed a centuries old tradition? How does it feel to have killed the very fabric of the maternal side of our family?"

Twilight was both irritated and amused by the question. She gave her mother a huge smile and proudly stated, "It feels liberating, that's what. I feel like I've done the moral thing and killed this disgusting tradition off."

Velvet began to stomp her hoof on the floor and pout. Twilight saw this and continued, "Oh quite your pouting Velvet, you're acting worse than a spoiled little foal."

Velvet continued to pout and yelled, "You know what Twilight, the fact that you did this is basically spitting on your family, spitting on your heritage and spitting on our traditions."

Twilight glared at her mother and asked, "No Velvet, it is me improving our family, it is me ridding our lineage of this filth!"

Velvet glared back at her and mocked, "Oooh, I'm improving the family, I'm ridding our lineage of this filth!" She broke down into a sarcastic laugh, "What does it matter to you anyway? I'm pretty sure that Celestia and Rarity aren't going to know any spells to get you pregnant." Her voice became more snide, "But I could see you using it to knock up Rarity or Fluttershy just to spite me."

Twilight was quickly becoming sick and tired of her mother's behavior. She grabbed her in her aura and ordered, "Velvet, I think it would be best if you got out of here before I do something I regret."

Velvet yelled, "Oh and what....."

Twilight intensified her hold on her mother again, leaving her unable to speak as she pushed her towards the exit. She opened the door and shoved Velvet outside. She pointed her hoof off towards the train station and ordered, "You need to go Velvet and after today, you are no longer welcome in my castle."

Velvet gave her a glare before taking off. Twilight closed the door and felt two different emotions. She felt liberation because she was finally able to get over the fear she had had of her mother's temper but at the time she felt sadness. She never once imagined that Velvet would do something that would warrant her having to forbid her from her home.
