A Past That Haunts

The Morning

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Celestia stayed up most of the night, haunted by the past they shared. But she tried to remember the good times they all had. Sombra, Tirek, Discord, Chrysalis, Luna, the special filly and her were all friends at one point. She thought of the time when one of Discords 15 siblings gave them weapons to fend for themselves, and the first time they actually used it in a fight. Celestia had a huge shotgun that was in width and length bigger than her, even now when she's over a 1000 years old. Luna had power fist that went up to her elbow, so she could do some serious punches. Though she preferred to use her magic, she would combine the two making her at the same power level as Celestia. Discord already mastered his weapon before they got theirs, because it was Draconequss tradition for royalty to have a sacred weapon to symbolize that he was royalty. He had a yellow and black scythe much like a grim reaper. It symbolizes death, but he resorted to chaos which was another story. Chrysalis had a sorcerer staff, which summoned changelings if she needed too. Sombra had twin swords that matched his black hair, but with a flare of red at the tips to match his eyes. And finally, Tirek. He had a beserker axe that was taller than him in length. They used their weapons saving the special filly that was their friend.

Celestia finally caught some sleep when she began to think about the special filly. She was shy but adorable, they all agreed. She was light cyan blue who always wore a scarf, no matter winter or summer, and had white hair with streaks of the same cyan blue her skin is made of. She was always the reason they would stop fighting, she was the reason Discord was happy. She was blind, but Discord's siblings all came up with spell that only made her see in snow, because a spell to create sight was complicated, even just seeing in snow was hard. It was perfect, because she was the reason there was snow in the first place. Discord could summon a little cloud that rained tiny bits of snow, but she could see. It was all that mattered.

Celestia chuckled slightly, remembering the first time the filly saw in her life.

"IS THIS REAL!" she screamed, quietly with her soft voice, but it stilled showed excitement

"Snowy, if you can see, it's not joke," Tirek said with a soothing voice. Celestia loved it when he was kind, not that he wasn't kind to her. At the time.

"I can see..." She mumbled to herself, then screamed again for all to hear," I CAN SEE!" and everyone laughed at her optimism

For 14 years (Celestia was 16, Discord 16, Tirek 17, Sombra 15, Chrysalis 15, Luna 14) the special filly was blind, she could only recognize by voice. When Discord laughed, she ran immediately to Discord and hugged him, crying on his chest,"Thank you, Discord"

Celestia saw the warmth filling Discords soul, and she felt it too. She can't imagine what it would be like not to see anything, until she was 14. It was such a heart warming experience they were talking about it for months.

Remembering that event had eased the pain in her heart, and she could finally sleep in peace.

Luna woke up to a goofy faced Discord on top of her in an awkward position. Luna was about the scream, when Discord put a finger against her mouth,"Shhh! We need to wake Celly." He whispered

"Do you need to wake me up this way!?" She whispered harshly back,"This is an inappropriate postit-"

"Shut. Up," He started," and get. Up."

"Excuse me? I am a princess, and I demand respect!"

"Excuse me princess, but I'm also a prince myself, I'm prince of Engquss thank you."

"You told me not to make that joke.."

"Because your family isn't ignoring you are they!?" Discord now becoming more angry, but still whispering,"You aren't trapped in another man's land by a accidental spell are you? No, so you have no right to make a joke like that."

"Discord, I don't think they're ignoring you, I think they're-," Luna was cut off by a snarl from Discord, immediately shutting up.

"Just get your butt up," Discord said agitated, he didn't wish to speak about anything of Engquss, even though he brought the topic up.

Luna pushed Discord off her with her knees to his stomach, making him gasp a little, before he crawled to the opposite side of her bed,"How'd you even get in here?"

"Your guards are bad at their job, that's how."

"MY GUARDS, are amazing."

"That's how I got in," Discord said amused.

"What are we going to say to Celestia when we get there?" Luna said changing the subject.

"I actually didn't think of that"

Luna face palmed," are you telling me you made a big deal to talk about the past, when you haven't even thought how you're gonna bring it up!?"

"Me? You were co-signing that we should talk about it!"

"I thought you came up with a plan or something!"

"You, trust me, with a plan, Luna" Discord snorted," I am the physical meaning of chaos!"

"Why don't we start going instead of arguing," Luna jumped off the bed to change her clothes with her magic. She's not embarrassed to change in front of a man, because the spell she uses always covers her body. She changed back to her wrap dress she wore the day before, but only with a moon symbol much like her cutie mark in the center. She wore a simple black flats and walked out her bedroom door greeting her guards, and stationing them somewhere else. Discord followed behind Luna with his beige brown pajamas that he refuses to take off until he goes outside.

Luna leads Discord to Celestias chambers, which was on the opposite side of the castle. No matter how many times Discord visited this castle, Discord could swear there's always a new room.

When they arrived, Luna opened the door with her magic, to see an empty bed. Luna was confused, but then realized it was early in the morning, and she should've been up to raise the sun right now. Luna informed Discord that they're going to the back of the castle, and ignored his complaint about her being,"incompetent," and "forgetful".

Luna and Discord looked in awe as Celestia ever so gracefully raised the sun. Her sleeping garment was white lingerie which made Discord blush, and Luna feel ashamed she walked around the castle like that. Her horn lit, and wings spread to the maximum they can spread, she flew up as the sun followed her like a shadow. She looked like an angel Luna complimented, followed by a retort from Discord that made her roll her eyes," A fallen angel," he said.

When the sun was in position Celestia cast one final spell on the sun to keep it moving for the rest of the day, so she wouldn't have to worry about it. She looked behind to see the sun moving slowly, and smiled pleasingly at herself,"No matter how many times I do this," Celestia mumbled to herself,"It's still a beautiful as ever."

A memory of the past roamed her mind, making her smile. The first time she rose the sun in front of her parents and the gang. It was embarrassing and fun at the same time. The sun shook so badly everyone could already guess that it was their new princess raising it. Celestia remembered the cheering and encouragement when she was lifting it. Raising the sun was an important task, if it would fall down once, it will mess up the crops from all around the world cycles. The world was pretty much dependent on her. She remembered the jokes from Chrysalis saying that "What if they was a lovely date goin' on, and the sun was rising, they were going to kiss until the girl noticed the wobbly sun, ruining the moment," It made everyone laugh. Celestia kept that as a good memory. Celestias smile faded when she remembered what happened to Chrysalis. Chrysalis skin color was white genetically ,and so were the changelings. Throughout her childhood with Celestia and them she had white colored skin. But when Tirek got a hold, Celestia still wondering what spell he used, changed it genetically black, affecting the changelings to be black. Chrysalis was blasted from Equestria to the frozen north, they sent Sombra, Tirek and Discord as well. Celestia couldn't have predicted that would be a grave mistake, and would cause the end of so many lives. Especially Snowdrop.

Celestia shook her head to rid of the thought, as well as have a feeling she was being watched. She looked both ways to see Discord and Luna with blushing faces, Discords more visible. Celestia questioned why they would be blushing, but then realized it was the clothes she was wearing.

Discord coughed,"So uh, nice sun-raising."

Celestia made bedroom eyes,"I think something else raised."

Discord blushed harder than Celestia has ever seen,"Celestia! I have a girlfriend!"

"She doesn't have to know."

"Can you not!" Luna screamed at Celestia,"This is not appropriate for what we are here for."

"And that is...?"

"The past, Celestia," Luna finished.

"Oh," Celestia gulped,"yea."

"Princess Celestia!" A deep raspy voice came from the other side of the courtyard they were in.

Celestia looked towards the voice, to find three of her guards, all in their attack uniform, come rushing towards her. She noticed one slowed down because of what she was wearing, and blushed. The others unfazed. New guard obviously She thought. Her veteran guards are used to her dressing in exposing ways.

"Yes, Garrison?" Celestia also knew her veteran guards by name.

"A strong force has swept over ponyville, and has kidnapped Princess Twilight and another filly!" He reported,"Leaving all of her friends with a shaken mind!"

"WHAT!" The princesses and Discord scream, Discord asking a quick question,"Is Fluttershy..."

"It's alright, Discord," the second guard reassured,"She wasn't with them, but she is now. She's helping them with whatever they're screaming about."

"We must go immediately,"Celestia ordered, Putting her hand under her chin,"Send the forces Twilight and I share down to go find her. Report anything that's suspicious or anything to take note of. And QUICKLY!"

"Yes your majesty," the guards obeyed and ran towards the castle.

"Great thing first thing in the morning,"Discord joked,"I'm gonna change."

Discord snaps his fingers and left the scene to his guest room, leaving Luna and Celestia alone. Celestia was walking towards the castle, wondering who and what would've caused someone to kidnap Twilight, when Luna grabbed her hand.

"Celestia,"Luna started,"Don't forget. We'll talk about it later"

Celestia looked her in her eyes, her beautiful blue eyes that sparkled both day and night,"Later."

Celestia and Luna both walk into the castle, Celestia changing to more appropriate clothes, and Luna waiting at the carriage. Celestia and Luna had no idea what was going down in Ponyville, and are going to meet a rude awakening.
