The Reveal

Previous Chapter

“My goodness, I think I know who you are talking about.” Colette said with fright and the others except Poppy looked at each other with the same look.

“What do you mean? What are you talking about?” Poppy asked with confusion, Hugo, Jordan, Duncan and Elena all had looks of worry and fright as well. Colette blew a soft sigh to calm herself as Jordan and Hugo did their best to calm her down with the latter trying to give her another cup of coffee but she smacked it away where it cracked into tiny pieces like a vase being smashed on the hard cold ground.

“I'll clean it up...” Colette responded with a sad sigh and she was about to use her magic to pick up the broken pieces but Jordan put a hoof to her shoulder and shook his head slightly.

“Don't, Colette, don't remember the bad things in the past you had before you came to us.” the dark purple pegasus stallion responded softly but the light blue mare shook her head with frustration.

“None of you have experience with cleaning up like I did when I was a teenager.”

“It was a bad experience for you.”

“I still know how to clean up, don't I?” Colette snapped at Jordan that his eyes widened a little. He had never seen her snap like that to anypony but she didn't like being judged because of her past before and when she came to Coltland those years ago or having her past mentioned in front of anypony else.

Colette used her magic to pick up the broken pieces of the cup and she got out of her chair to walk to the kitchen to put them into the bin. She strolled slowly back to the table and sat down back into her own seat as Poppy and Moonlight still stared at her with confused expressions. Colette gave a soft sigh and she looked at the two mares with sad eyes.

“You see, years before you mares were born, I had a history with a stallion that my dad was forcing me to be married to some time before my first year in Coltland, I refused to be with him and...” Colette took a shaky breath and sounded like she was going to start crying.

“At one point after I used my magic to get rid of his cutie mark for threatening me and he vowed to get revenge on me and he did. He came to Coltland to take over it but after he abducted me while I was sleeping, my late husband, Sven and the others came to get me. I managed to escape on my own and we had a battle with him, the queen of Coltland helped me out and I managed to destroy him and the magic he drained from other ponies from around the world, went back to them.”

“Now it appears that he wasn't destroyed after all?” Moonlight responded as her bright green eyes widened.

“I'm afraid so and if he's not been destroyed at all then we don't know how to defeat him for good. Apparently what the Queen had told me to do didn't work. I'm going to have get my head into the books and see if there's anything I can do.” Colette replied with a panic.

“I'll help you out.” Elena said with confidence and she gave a small smile.

“Would your aunt, Olga be able to help you as well?” Duncan asked, the slight elderly grey earth pony with greying black hair, giving a questioning look to Colette.

“I haven't heard from her in years so I don't think that she can even though she's also an alicorn and we are immortal once we reach the age of twenty. I know she's been an alicorn for so many years but I don't know if she wants to come back and fight him.” Colette replied with sadness in her voice and she gave a soft sigh.

Poppy and Moonlight looked at each other with concerned looks then the latter nodded at the red earth pony slightly.

“Is there any way I can help? All I can do is light my horn to see in the darkness which is also my special talent but I don't think that's very useful in a battle.” Moonlight responded at first with some confidence then her tone dropped to a defeated tone when she mentioned that maybe her magic wouldn't be so useful in a battle.

Colette looked at Elena with a questionable look and Elena gave a small smile.

“I'm pretty sure you'll be useful, you could be our signal, you light up your horn for that or a little spark of magic in the sky.” Elena replied happily and she grinned at Moonlight.

“But... won't that get me caught if I was spying and I sent a signal to say the coast was clear?”

“Sometimes, we have to take risks. Princess Golden Heart took risks to get every foal even her friends out of that horrible place two years ago. Sure she got caught many times but she never gave up on trying and she had the courage to fight the foalnappers and defeat them with a spell that takes a lot of time to learn.” Colette responded as she remembered the day that the young foals escaped and still remembered the day that she heard that they got foalnapped on their birthday.

“Colette had to risk her life to escape her captor and she managed even though she got herself a black eye and was tied to a chair with rope.” Duncan said with sadness and he gave a similar look to Poppy and Moonlight.

Colette nodded slowly and she looked down sadly.

“Let's get studying now, Elena, let's not waste time to make our magic more powerful.”

Elena gave a slight nod and the two alicorns walked out of the room while the stallions and the two mares looked at them until they left the room and closed the door.

Meanwhile, in the forest, a pair of bright green eyes looked from the shadows as he looked at one of the castles.

“I'm going to get my revenge on you, I know what I shall do.” the deep voice said and he gave a small chuckle.

Author's Note: Well there's the reveal of the villain and for the readers that read the series from the start, would've noticed how to and I believe this fan fic is now getting serious.
