Queen Nova galloped swiftly through the forest carrying her newborn in her glowing magic. The dark fog chased her and the evil laughing became louder.

“JUST STOP RUNNING ALREADY!! IN YOUR HEAD YOU ALREADY KNOW YOUR FATE! GIVE ME THE BABY AND I’LL LEAVE YOUR KINGDOM ALONE!” said the sinister voice in the distance.

“NO! I WILL NEVER STOP RUNNING! YOU WILL NEVER HAVE MY CHILD!” said the frightened queen who was already running out of breath.

The dark fog started moving faster and faster. Practically wisping away at the queen’s back hooves.

“AGGGHHHH!” The queen cried out in pain. She didn’t know the fog would contain acid to burn her. After thirty more seconds the Queen Nova couldn’t take it anymore. She tripped over her front legs and laid there on the grassy floor. Crying out she said,

“YOU WILL NEVER TAKE MY CHILD OR MY KINGDOM!.”

The queen cried then let out one more scream of pain, then the forest became silent. The little fawn dropped to the ground. Softly breathing and staring into the black fog. Suddenly the black fog lowered. Revealing the monstrosity behind killing Queen Nova.

“Oh, hi sweetie…” she said to the small deer. “I’m Twilight, your new mother.”

Twilight picked up the filly and cackled. She then mumbled a complex spell and placed her horn on the fawn’s head. The small deer cried and Twilight put her in her bag. She whispered to herself. “I finally have her, I did it. I can’t believe…” The current leader of equestria jumped as sirens screamed throughout the land. Breaking the silence even more was what it seemed to be thousands of hoofs galloping towards Twilight. The first pony to step into the moon lit floor was King Blomin, the leader of Lochgate Kingdom. He took his sword from out of his bag and spread his wings.

“FOLLOW MY LEAD!” The mighty alicorn buck yelled. The entire army behind him flew and retrieved their swords. Queen Twilight Sparkle quickly rose her black fog again and with that the baby rolled out of the bag with the sudden change of force. Twilight then flew away not knowing the fawn was not in her possession. The king and his army quickly stopped.
“Wait a second, I think she’s gone.” said the king. In the silence they heard a soft cry. King Blomin galloped through the disappearing fog and discovered his daughter laying on the ground with noticeable injuries to her face and who knows where else.

“IVORY! Go get the medics, we need to save my daughter. I believe she’s been cursed!”

The entire army gasped.

“Yes sir!!”

The ivory colored buck galloped back towards the castle. King Blomin then walked over to his fallen wife. He then let out soft tears. Sadness and grief flooded his body. He then sat on the ground in front of her and more tears came out. He thought to himself that now he was the new and only ruler of his kingdom. He wiped away his tears and stood up.

“Everyone. The queen is dead. Queen Nova is dead.”

King Blomin then fell to the ground and tears ran down his cheeks.

The ivory colored buck then came galloping back with the medic deer and ponies ready with their emergency carriage. 2 ponies galloped over to the small fawn and carefully picked her up and placed her in a small rolling stretcher and rolled her into the large carriage. The strong buck attached to the carriage then galloped away with the two medic ponies and baby inside. King Blomin was still grieving over Queen Nova. Ivory Beam (the ivory colored buck) came over and sat next to King Blomin.

“It will all be ok Blomin, we are all grieving over the loss of Nova. But we all need to stay strong and carry on the news to the entire kingdom.”

“I know Ivory. Thank you.”

King Blomin stood up and said “EVERYONE, follow me.”

The army split apart for King Blomin to pass through. He slowly walked. He had a droopy feeling within him. He looked around at all the sad faces around him. Some bucks and stallions were crying. Teardrops were running down their golden armour and purple chest plates. King Blomin then looked behind seeing the medic ponies carefully placing Queen Nova on a stretcher. He had never felt the feeling of loss in his life. He then felt a spark of anger develop deep down in his gut. He needed to know who did this to his family. He needed to know who killed his beloved wife. He needed to know who injured his newborn daughter. He then perked up and started to sprint to the castle. With confused looks, the army raced behind him, as they knew they were always to follow the king unless told not to. But there was one pony staring back at him with a confused look on his face. Ivory then blinked a couple times then followed the rest of the army. When they all reached the castle Ivory went up to Blomin and talked.

“Blomin, I don’t think we'll be able to catch whoever did this. There must be millions of ponies to question.”

“I know Ivory, but we must catch the criminal who did this! It’s not fair to me or my family!”

“Ok, I guess..”

“Good.”

King Blomin then patted Ivory Beam on the back and trotted forward. Ivory Beam took a second to contemplate, then followed King Blomin.

**********************************************************************************

Twilight sparkle flew as fast as she could back to Canterlot. After Celestia and Luna’s death, she was the one to take over Equestria. Equestria was pretty much a wreck as soon as Twilight took reign. Twilight split equestria into seven districts including the capitol. She assigned one pony to rule each district because she was not able to rule them all herself. After assigning her loyal assistant Spike to rule over District 6, she was lonely and wanted another to look after. That’s the reason why she went to go take Blomin’s and Nova’s newborn daughter. As Twilight kept flying she ran into Cadence, flying to District 4 to talk to the leader there.

“Twilight! How are you? I haven’t seen you since Celestia and Luna’s funeral.”

“Uhmmm, I’m ok.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Why are you in such a hurry?”

“Ummmmm I..I...I’m coming back from District 6. I needed to talk to Spike.”

“Ohhh, how is he doing?”

“Uhhh ummmm… he’s doing alright.”

“Ok then. I gotta keep going. See you later.”

“Ok. Bye Cadence.”

“Bye.”

During the entire conversation Twilight’s heart was beating hard and fast. She didn’t want to tell anyone about what happened in Lochgate earlier that night. She didn’t feel one bit bad about what she’d done. She deserved someone to look after. Then she realized there was no warmth against her side, no breathing, no crying, no nothing. She then thought, ‘Did I kill the freaking baby too?’. Twilight looked in her bag and realized that nothing was there. ‘Did I drop the baby?’. Twilight then went sprinting back to her castle in Canterlot. The depression inside of her deepened even more.

*************************************************************************************

Beep…. Beep…. Beep….

Went the heart monitor at the hospital inside the Lochgate castle. King Blomin watched his daughter in the bed. He wished this never would have happened. He should have been there for the outing to Carnation Park. But he knew that he had important meetings in the castle to meet up to. King Blomin sat in a chair next to the small hospital bed. He needed a break from walking all day.

“It will all be ok my little belle. I will always be here for you. I promise.”

The little fawn carefully looked over to her father. She knew that what he said was important but she couldn’t make out what he meant. She was annoyed by all the bandages around her head, but she didn’t cry. King Blomin took a second to look into his daughter’s eyes. He noticed something different. Instead of two aquamarine colored eyes, he noticed the right eye was a different color. Was that gold he saw? Panic then started to develop within him. His heart started beating out of his chest. If there were monitors connected to him his monitor would be screaming. He quickly stood up and trotted out of the room nervously. He walked over to the desk where a kind looking light blue pony was sitting.

“Um, excuse me ma’am, can I see Flora Belle’s doctor please.” he said with a slight shake in his voice.

“Yes your honor, straight away.”

“Thank you”

He then cleared his voice and started to pace in front of his daughter's hospital room door. He was so overwhelmed about the fact that his wife just died and his daughter is seriously injured. But he knew that Nova would have wanted him to take care of the baby and not worry about her. He just wanted the best for his family. Seconds later the tall dark colored buck in a white coat came in his direction.

“What do you need your honor?” said the tall buck.

“Uhhh… Can you check belle’s eyes one more time please, I believe there is something wrong with her right eye.”

“I will check, but I think you need some rest. You’ve had a long night. Let me get your assistant to lead you to your room.”

“No, no. I’m good.”

“Ok.”

They both walked into the room. The doctor unraveled some of the bandage to reveal stitches from some of the deeper cuts. He then took out a otoscope and shown a bright light into her eyes. Belle blinked her eyes as she was confused why he was doing this. Why did she need a bright light in her eyes? The doctor's eyes widened and he backed away. He then said,

“One second your honor, I need to check with a specialist to see if my suspicions about your daughter is correct. Please wait a moment.”

King Blomin’s stress level went up about 100% when he heard the doctor say that. He didn’t want his baby to be in serious pain or live a unliveable life. He watched the doctor as he casually walked out. KIng Blomin just sat there. He then started to cry even more. He didn’t want a life for his daughter where she just grew up with her father. She needed a motherly figure. He then remembered the pendant he took that was around Nova’s neck before she died. The amulet possessed strange power that no pony has understood before. It did different things with each pony that ever wore it. King Blomin placed it around Flora Belle’s head and placed the gem part on her chest. The amulet looked quite big on her, but he knew that one day she would grow into it. Belle then looked over to her father and smiled. She was quite intelligent for a young baby. Minutes later King Blomin was fast asleep in his chair. He was so tired after his long day. The doctor and the specialist came in. The tall doctor walked over to King Blomin and slightly shook him.

“Your Highness, I am back with the specialist.” he said calmly.

King Blomin then quickly perked up.

“Oh! I must have fallen asleep. I am very sorry.”

“It’s fine your highness. So I have Dr. Kloutta here. She is a specialist in curses and spells here at the clinic.”

King Blomin stood up and said,

“Nice to meet you Dr. Kloutta.”

“Nice to meet you as well your highness.” She said with a sure voice.

Dr. Kloutta walked over to the fawn and used the same tool to look into her eyes.

“Oh deer.”

“What is it?”

“I believe she has Grimoire Curse.”

“What is that doctor?”

“There isn’t enough research on it. So I am not sure if there are any antidotes or treatments to stop the effects from happening,” She then looked Blomin in the eyes. “ Your daughter has one pure golden eye. And there has only been one documented case of this.”

“What does it do to her?”

“Again your highness, I am not sure. Not enough research. But we can keep her here to do more tests.”

King Blomin stared into the doctors eyes then into Flora Belle’s eyes. Flora Belle’s big eyes sparkled and gave a begging look. She didn’t want any more tests or pain. She’s been thorough enough. Even if she didn’t know her mother was dead yet. ‘What would Nova want?’ thought King Blomin.

“I think we should stop treatment here,” he said. “If anything strange happens I’ll let you know.” He said with a slight raise in his voice.

“Ok your highness. I’ll leave you two be and get you checked out.”

“Thank you doctor.”

**********************************************************************************************************

Twilight sat in her castle signing important documents. Each one was a request or law requested by one of the district leaders. She wished that she had a filly to look after. She didn’t want to sign papers the rest of her life. She felt that when Celestia and Luna died, her life went downhill. She didn’t have her mentor anymore. No pony was quite as powerful as those two princesses. Well Queen and princess. Twilight didn’t know why Discord didn’t take over equestria after Celestia’s death. He was the King of Equestria for a while. Twilight was always worrying about the other districts. Did she pick the right ponies to rule each one? Was Spike too young to rule? ‘No, Spike is almost 100 years old! Still young for a dragon but he's old enough to go on on his own.’ She thought. She always regretted putting Apple Bloom to rule over District 3. Even though she was a good leader, she was always sad and made farming the main occupation. ‘I wonder what Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are doing now? Are they still friends?’ she thought. Twilight did a lot of thinking to herself in the castle. She had almost gone back to her old self after Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, and Pinkie Pie had passed. She wished that they could be with her, but she knew that some day they would all die. Twilight threw her quill across the room in anger then slammed her head on the table. She didn’t want it to be this way! Why was she such a terrible leader! She wanted to bring her country back to peace! Why didn’t Cadence and Shining Armour take over equestria? She had so many questions she wanted answered. She hated being Queen Twilight Sparkle. She got up out of her chair and trotted out to a balcony. She looked into the sunrise that the leader of District 2 was making. She put Sunset Shimmer in charge of raising and setting the sun and moon. Celestia died before Sunset Shimmer came back to equestria. No pony in equestria knew that she was an alicorn, but after a while Sunset Shimmer wondered why she wasn’t aging as fast as her friends. But Twilight decided not to make her a princess because she wasn’t worthy enough. She didn’t want her going back to her old ways. Twilight didn’t want to rule anymore. She wanted to go back in time and be with her friends. But she knew that wasn’t possible. Well it was but she couldn’t risk messing it up like Starlight Glimmer did. Twilight enjoyed the sunrise. It made her forget for a while that she had killed the noble queen on Lochgate.
