Spark

Chapter 3

"THEN WHAT KIND OF FATHER ARE YOU?!" I screamed while struggling against the countless guards that avoided my movement.

"Passion" he screamed again

"What?!"

"Passion!" I noticed something strange, his voice was sounding slightly... feminine...

"WHAT?!" I was loosing patience

"PASSION!" the voice became definitely feminine, in fact, it even became familiar.

"WHAT IN THE SEVEN UNIVERSES DO YOU FREAKING WANT?!" I exploded in rage breathing heavily. Then I noticed my surroundings. It was still dark. I was sitting on a bed and I had a startled purple unicorn next to me. the name is TWILIGHT!

"...Um... to wake you up..." her voice was even lower than a whisper.

"S-sorry! I didn't mean to..."

"Don't worry, it must have been a nightmare" she gave me a reassuring smile.

"For how long was I asleep?" I said while scratching my head with one hoof.

"For 2 hours, though you actually fainted" she said while walking to a small pile of books and sitting next to them. "In the meantime I was trying to find more things about the supposed king Princess Celestia mentioned in the letter"

"Can you tell me about what you found out?" I climbed off bed to sit next to the purple... next to Twilight.

"Of course, but before" a small glow came from Twilight's horn, levitating a cup in front of me "here is your hot... now cold... chocolate" I grabbed it with my own magic, which was of an intense golden color.

"Thanks..." I said again, after a countless times of saying the same word over and over again

"Ok I'll start" she cleared her throat "when Celestia mentioned about the evil pony and the king I started to think that, if the king knew about the pony, it couldn't have been originally from Equestria, but from another kingdom, and there is only one kingdom asides from Equestria that is populated by ponies. Little is known about this kingdom; it is the only one in the whole world who doesn't have any friendly relationship with Equestria. It is rumored that its ruler is an unknown relative of Celestia and Luna..." as soon as Twilight mentioned the name, a chill ran down through my spine, making my wings half extend "in other words, that he is an Alicorn too. It is also mentioned that he married another Alicorn and supposedly had children."

"...Twilight..." I whispered

"Yes?"

"...I've had strange memories returning to me in the past days... in one of them... they mentioned a name of a kingdom... Nicardia..."

"...Keep going" she said with sudden interest

"Well... it was actually me. I appeared screaming around saying I was going to overthrow my father, the king of Nicardia. At first I thought that I indeed was evil and such, until I had another one... I saw him physically and we were discussing about an older sister of mine and about his ideals of what I said it was slavery and then he said he was going to conquer Equestria and then he sent me into a dungeon." I sighted, feeling depressed about the memory.

"I see... can you describe him?" she said while scratching her chin.

"He was a little taller than Celestia... had blowing black mane, it looked like a void... and his fur was gold... and yes he was an alicorn, oh and the beard, it was like his mane... and..." the sudden sound of opening windows startled both of us, making us look into the direction almost instantaneously.

She was there, standing tall and elegant, the soft light of the giant orb adorning her night sky shining behind her, marking her perfect feminine silhouette.

...I wonder how can she manage to make me pull off those poems so naturally...

"Passion!" Luna said, her voice was like music to my ears "I feared the worst!" I noticed her eyes, she had been crying.

"Luna!" I stood up and approached her "have you been...crying?" I was feeling even more guilty, she was crying because of me.

"I'm sorry about what happened! I tried to convince my sister but..."

"...Don't worry" I did something I didn't know I would regret or I would end thanking my stupid brain about... I was nuzzling her chest. Million thoughts were running through my mind.

Oh you foalish bastard! You barely know her! you don't even know if she is into mares! You don't even know yourself! She is going to call Celestia, she is going to call Celestia!... or perhaps she will do it herself... oh and I'm still not used living in the moon! Worst case scenario, being burned alive in the surface of the sun! or... a warm feeling against my back literally changed the route of my train of thought ...I should visualize our wedding... Luna was nuzzling back, in that moment, I couldn't have been happier... and relieved.

...I'm making myself too many illusions...

"Luna" I broke the contact "I have to ask you a question..."

"Anything" she said in a soft tone which made my heart flutter.

"Have you ever heard of Nicardia?" after I asked the question, nothing more was said. Luna had a surprised look in her face. where is Twilight? she hasn't said a word since... I looked behind me, at the pile of books, Twilight wasn't there anymore. Then, I heard sobs coming from outside of the window, they sounded each time more and more distant

"What do you think happened to her?" I asked Luna while we were walking under her starry sky looking for Twilight.

"...There are many possibilities" she sighted "one of them, that she has developed feelings for me"

"O-oh..." I WILL DESTROY HER!! I thought "are you... you know..."

"Gender is not something I care too much about in a pony" she said, her eyes were fixed on the path ahead. We were already outside of Ponyville.

"I see..." a part of me claimed that I didn't care, another part of me celebrated the little hope.

...Hope... so... it seems I feel the same... I thought but, I just met her a few days ago!... perhaps it is because she saved me and such things?... no... there must be more... then, I remembered Luna's reaction when I mentioned Nicarida maybe she knows the place and has visited before... she's royalty after all... Then, we heard the same sobs. It was Twilight. Just when I tried to go further Luna extended her wing to block the path. Then, I heard a muttering from Twilight.

"...oh great Luna... oh great Princess of the Night... I will forever be yours..."

"...but you will never be mine..." I muttered, continuing Twilight's poem. I suddenly felt a hit of nostalgia in my chest like if...

I have spoken those words before

I was sitting in a hidden corner of the throne room when a younger version of my supposed father was talking with a younger version of Princess Celestia, another mare was besides her... she was slightly different but I could recognize her.

"Mom... who is... she?" a younger version of myself asked a tall female Alicorn with purple coat and blowing dark red mane who sat next to me, embracing me with her wing.

"Oh, she is Princess Luna, she rules the night and created all those constellations you love so much" she pointed the mare. I felt a drawn to her... I felt admiration...

"...She... did?" I said more to myself than to my mother, admiring the beautiful young mare that was slightly older than me with awe.

A slightly older version of me sat in front of a desk, full of tears. The desk had an open book and a quill submerged in ink next to it. I took the quill with my magic and wrote a phrase in the middle of the blank page.

...Oh Great Luna...
Oh Great Princess of the Night...
I will forever be yours...
But you will never be mine....
