Fallout Equestria: Isle of the lost.
Chapter Twentyfive: A name a word.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCliffSide was a town founded before the war. Most were told it was founded when Bulk landed. But a town already existed. It was run by strange creatures that were killed by the Zebras and ponies that landed here. It used to be a town that brought fish into the island. So long ago it was used to bring all the food that many creatures would eat. It would gather what it could for the castle. All food would have been shifted to the castle. So it could be cleaned and given to the Citizens of the island. A long time ago before all this even started. The Queen was loved. But when the war started the Equestrian war. It brought many from the mainlands to get away from the war itself. These creatures of the mainland loved the idea of living with freedom. What happens is the idea of freedom without the Queen looking over your shoulder. At first, it didn't upset the queen. She still was loved in her castle. But down the line, she started to become more and more like a tyrant. She felt that since the creatures outside her town. It made her very upset. When Bulk and the Commander of the Zebras that made it here. No one even got his name. They always thought he was just named Commander.
But when they came she started to start some strange plans that could make Cliffside from a small town of fishing. Into a town of sex slaving raping and many other things. But down the line, the island was already known to the outside world. They wished to leave the war as quickly as they could. The next ship that landed. Brought in Mimic a yellow mare along with a Griffin named Glendo. An earth pony mare named Rose. A diamond dog named Roof. A Pegasus pony stallion named Sun Rise. Then twin unicorn brown mares named Chocolate. As well as Milk Chocolate. When they came to the island. The creatures Cliffside who named it and all. Who didn't even need ships to go fishing? They looked to be mutated Brown bears. But they never gave themselves a name. They told the group that they're the heroes of legend. Mimic and her friends allowed that to get to their pride. What's interesting these bears creatures started to teach that landed here about the Legend. Because something was killing these creatures off. Most think the Queen did it herself. But the final one that died from a very harsh sickness. The sickness came from the fish. The Queen did something to the fish when they sent them back to Cliffside.
All the creatures of the island already knew the legend. The Salamanders all the lizard-like creatures on the island. But when the new souls came to the island. They learned the legend. But sadly things were becoming bad for the island. After the creatures of the cliffside died from the sickness. Only the creatures in the castle didn't buy it. This was way before the magic eaters were created by her. At this moment everything was peaceful. Till she learned in the castle was the hero herself. Because back then the castle was always opened for many. They went in when they did, they noticed how bad the slums were. The slums are the home of the weaker creatures of the island. It’s also used as a sewer for the upper crust to give the slums their shit for existing. That’s most of the reason why the rebellion started because the queen never gave a shit for the slums.
Many never understood the reason for the rebellion. But they started riots in the city. They even caused an issue that made the entire island standstill. The island hasn't healed from anything these heroes of legend did. The heroes were meant to save the island. But they destroyed how it worked. They shattered the economic structure of the island. All the food that went to many places on the island started to fail. But after a while, they learned how to live without Queens food. They had to find new ways to live. It caused the Queen to lose her temper. That the magic she used to spread her temper at the rebellion caused the raw magic to spread all over the island. The magic during this time was pure and raw. But it got to the point using it too much. Caused the magic to spread allowing more of the creatures to form on the island. Salamanders already happened. But most of the creatures died from the exposed creatures that used the magic. She tried to counter this. But magically creating the magic eaters. But before that a few months went on she made the Beatles. But they didn't work at all.
She created the magic eaters by grabbing many of the bugs that are normally found on the island. She used Dragonflies to make the magic eaters that looked like Mix and others. But only those were made at first. Some learned how to speak through teachings that some gave them when they got captured. But the other species were created when it didn't work and caused more. The Queens started to form. Majesty didn't even understand what she was causing. It got to the point that she met up with the hero and her friends. She said to her. " I can give you a ship to take you back to your homeland. But you need to give me your friends as the price of what you did to my lands." Mimic didn't think she had a choice. But when she learned what she did. She did worse than what is happening in Equestria right now. She knew she wasn't a hero.
They learned later the legend is not only fake but futile. But she gave up her friends. She watched them be killed in front of her by Majesty herself. When she went back to Cliffside and she asked Bulk if a room just for her could be made. He did agree. At this time the Manson was still being built. But the room that was made. Was enchanted by her to only let the hero of a legend inside. She stole one of the gems forced into the wall that showed the big threat that would happen if the warden was removed. She used it to place the hero of legend enchantment. When she got into the room she created a hidden room. Placing the memory orb and little lady.
She got on a ship heading back to Equestria but when she got close to Equestria she knew she was home. But she noticed contrails heading towards many parts of Equestria she got the docks in the hoof. But that was a bad idea even for her. The balefire bomb hit and she was burned alive. So she not only went back to face her fate. She paid for all the sins that she did to the island and did to her friends. Many don't even remember that hero. Only that some pretender showed up with friends of hers. It's why the Minions of the Queen called Star Shooter a fake. But hope won in the long run. Causing what is happening now to happen again. Maybe this time this hero will do it, right? Who knows, in the long run, no pony knows.
Cliffside the battle has taken a toll on the poor town. Half the buildings were half burnt. The inn was one of the few buildings not even burning. But in the middle of the very town is a tower. When the young dragon walks into the town. With the army, there is no one here for them to fight. But hanging on the tower tied above what is left of Mix. The watch is still repairing slowly. But he hangs there with no eyes half his body gone. Just there as a message. With a message hanging around his broken neck. The dragon gasped reading the message. 'Hello, minions of the Queen. Thank you for the fun. Now it's time for you to die.' She blinked the tower broke apart. Hawk coming out of it. Along with the rest of us coming out of many of the hidden parts of the cavern. All our army even the Clockwork ponies joining in. We armor weapons. Surrounding the large army from front to behind. I walk in front of the army standing in front of the dragon.
" Look around you dragon. These creatures have had enough of your Queen. So if you do we will allow you to live." The Dragon rolled her eyes and clicked her claws together. Strange magic formed forcing me and her into a strange spell that made me and her frozen in time. I blinked as time around me stayed frozen.
" Now we can speak freely." I blinked staring at the Dragon. " I for one mean you no harm hero. I have had enough of Majesty. She may have hatched me so long ago. But she accuses Celestia and Luna of being here. But she is here because of what she did in the past. She has forgotten her past. If she knew who she was. She would never be like this. She wishes to go to Equestria. But she is forced to stay here. Because of her spell, she cast it so long ago. But now I can explain that Cliffside used to be in control of another race."
I nod listening. I didn't know what to think now. " But what about the rest of the army you brought?" The dragon sighed softly, shaking her head.
" The army is here to be killed. Some of the ponies in the armor gave up their lives. So they could weaken the castle more. I didn't wish to do it. But It was the only choice. The former hero of legend caused a lot of problems. She used to be so loved. That everyday ponies would bow to her. As well as the rest of the land. Now no pony bows to her at all." She sighs, shaking her head.
" You know that...you might die here.." She nods looking away.
" I was never given a name. I am just called a dragon by her. Could you give me a name before you kill me?" I stare at the little dragon. My heart broke at the fact she wants me to kill her. Closing my eyes tightly I didn't know what to think. " Just aim after you name me a hero. I am too close to Majesty if you don't do this. I will have to fight you. I don't wish to be that hero, a killer like Majesty. I just wish this to end. It won't end if I just surrender. The army is going to fight you no matter what."
I sigh, not sure what to do. Closing my eyes tightly thinking still. Looking to see the dragon. She is blue scaled. With bright green eyes and green spikes. I am not sure but I think I had a name for her. I would have to say it before I shoot her but. I have questions.
" Why was this island made the way it is? Why didn't she allow the zebras to leave or the ponies to leave? If she allowed them to leave. Why was this island made, to begin with?" She sighed looking at me a moment and then back to the frozen land. Looking back at me.
" The island was created to house prisoners. One of the prisoners is stuck on the island. She knows he is there. But he won't help her remember who she is or why she is not loved. She even recently blamed him for her not being loved at all. But when you release the Warden from his prison. The creature will escape not sure really. But please name me Child." I sighed closing my eyes.
" I got you a name. I will tell you before I fire." The Dragon smiled softly nodding as she clicked her claws making time go forward.
I was standing in front of the dragon. I lifted my gun in my magic and aimed it at her. " Goodbye Gentle wave." The dragon smiles, closing her eyes. I fired right into her head and it blew up into many chunks. But even so, that happens. The suits of armor that are shaped like magic ponies. They pulled their weapons and attacked us. I was pushed back into the crowd while we spread out. I rushed away from Hawk firing on whoever stayed there. The Clockwork ponies fought the armored ponies. I slowly backed up further the battle going on quickly. I placed the hood over my head and slowly walked away from the battle to sit on the edge of the cliff watching the battle below.
Blaze used her flames along with her tail to burn many of the armored ponies. They kept streaming into the town. I heard some of the Zebras backing up as well to let the Minotaurs. The Griffins and the scaled hides take care of the battle now. The rest of the army stayed behind to rest and take care of their wounded. The Magic ghouls were far away from protecting the docks. I think for now they did so much for the creatures of this town. While I watched I removed my hood. I heard a large body land beside me.
" Amazing ain't it?" Looking to the battle then follow the voice with my eyes. Giving a weak smile to Balk. Then I looked back down to the battle. I should be in there but after I killed that dragon. I doubt it is wise to be in there. "You can hear a song being played through the battle. But I doubt you wish to hear a song through a battle child. You seem to have questions for me."
I look back to Balk, a moment then back down to the battle. It was getting worse. But the Minotaurs, Griffins, Clockwork ponies, and the Scaled hides did what they could to fight off the army that the Queen sent. I closed my eyes tightly and then opened them again looking back to Bulk. I wanted to speak to him. I wanted to know more about the past.
" Bulk. What was it like before the war?" Bulk looks to me. He gave a weak smile on his ghoul-like face. He looks back down to the battle. Then back up to the sun going down.
" It was like this.. beautiful wonderful. But thanks to our leaders our world ended because of them. Some never understood why the war started. I never did either at the start. Then I thought about it. It was greed. Greed is all that can happen to some. What would you do if ponies start fighting you because they want something you have. But society needs to work. The only way for it to work is to get the coal we need. Too many ponies forgot the old ways."
I sigh thinking of words that Bulk just spoke. The old ways maybe it was the time before we got weapons like guns. Before we even had to use these strange computers that seem to still be working after the end of the world. Tears fall from my eyes and drip down to the ground. I felt that my heart was broken. I stare down at the battle. While the battle goes on more of the army is being taken down only armor is being left behind. I am starting to wonder why I bring the war to this land? Why did I bring guns to this land? How could I be the hero?
" I feel I ruined the peace of this island Bulk. I am sure I am the reason for what happened to the Queen. I just murdered the Queen’s pet. I even named her. She asked me to end her life. But do you know how to remove this feeling? I feel I brought the war to a land. That was about to go to war itself, of course. But I brought guns and found Hawk." Looking down, I saw a Hawk stomp on a few of those ghostly ponies in the strange armor. While the magic armor ponies kept fighting. Did she send her entire army just to get me? Why get me what have I done to cause all this?
"I don't know Child. I am sorry I can't tell you this myself. It's something you will have to understand yourself down the road. It could have happened because well it could have been happening before you even showed up. Maybe you showed up and started the path of this war. Sometimes sadly you have to accept it. You're the leader of these creatures Star Shooter. They're going to follow you to hell and back. Are you willing to have them follow you?"
Looking back down at the battle it was getting harsher. Most of the army was now in the town. But these creatures seemed to be wanting to die. Maybe it's their only way to get back at the queen for what she did to them. I know it's not going to be simple for me. I stood on my hooves. I spoke out loudly.
"Army of the Queen!! Listen!" I said yelling hoping to get them to stop. For the moment they seemed to stop along with the rest of the battle. But just for now. " I am the hero..yes. But why are you doing this for the Queen?" I look at the creatures. They just had forms of ponies in the armor. I notice them looking up at me then back at each other. The one looking up to me. It's armor forming wings to the sides flying up staring at me with its empty eyes. I could make out a mouth that tried to speak to me. Then the pony forces itself inside me. I scream in pain feeling my world go black falling off the cliff.
I open my eyes to a bright white world. I stood on my hooves looking around. Standing in front of me. It is a mare Pegasus. I blinked at her as she walked closer staring down at me. she sat in front of me for a moment. I just stared back at her. Not sure what to think. I felt unsure of what to do or what to think.
" You have her gun child. So you must have known my Mimic." I blinked staring at her. "I used to be an earth pony before I was given these wings and well I don't remember the rest. All I remember is Mimic giving us up so she could return home. Of course, she wanted me to be able to go with her." Blinking I felt something very wrong. She stood in front of me more looking into my eyes. " You must be the hero that took her spot. She never really wished to be a hero. She just wanted to get away from the war." She blinked a moment. " How did it end, child?" Blinking, she grabs me with her hooves shaking me a moment.
" How did it end?"
Closing my eyes looking away a moment. Looking back up to the mare. " It ended in fire. Both sides fired mega spells and it ended in fire and death. But the world is healing slowly. Equestria is slowly healing. Thanks to a light-bringer. Sadly the rest of the world will take a lot longer to heal. It's not going to be easy though." I sighed closing my eyes a bit looking back up to the mare. " So she went back.. and burned to death. I am sure she didn't even get to become a ghoul as some have become." The mare’s eyes filled with tears. It's getting to the point. I know I will break more hearts from what I tell them about the world ending.
"She was a fool. A fool that I loved. She wanted to buy a lovely home on this island if we never could go back. She just wanted to get away from Equestria. But she was told that she was some hero. So it went to her head. Then she gave me and the others up. Of course, sadly I am the only one of our friends still alive. I was the lucky one..you could say the armor keeps me alive. If I take it off now...I will grow old and die. Right away little one. I know you wish to free some of them in the armor. But you can get through to us to make sure we can help you. All you have to do is this word child." She leans in to whisper to me.
' victoria Concordia crescit ' She calmly said. I listen in a tongue that is old and leads. I closed my eyes and said it to myself many times. But I didn't know what it meant. I just needed to say it when I woke up. I looked at her with a gentle smile. It's time to wake up I felt.
" I shall say these words "
She sighs and smiles. " Remember child it will only work once and it will free those that are attacking you, folks. Then ...we will be free. But it will not work again. So use the word once and that is protecting Cliff Side. In the castle itself. The very castle itself will rise to fight you. Are you willing to allow that?" I gave a nod. It was never going to be easy to fight them off. I felt maybe it's wise to get this battle started. The world around me slowly dimmed as I felt the world around me fade.
My eyes open. I was held by the armored pony that I spoke to. She then set me back up. Bowing her head I had to say the world. I didn't know if it was wise to say the word. I stood there looking to Bulk and the others who looked up at me worried. I could tell it would be soon that the creatures started attacking us again. I closed my eyes tightly. I shouted the word out from my voice loudly.
" victoria Concordia Crescit" I yelled the world. Then the army of the magic armored ponies looked at each other and the magic runes on the armor vanished, their bodies turning back to normal. The armor falling off but.. then I saw the horror of that word. I watched right after the earth pony mare I spoke to land in front of me. I held her hoof as she lilies on her side. She slowly starts turning old. She gave me a very gentle smile.
" Thank you hero....you freed me...I will get to see the one I love again." Tears stream down my face. I used a word that killed so many ponies and creatures I looked down the cliff to see more forming. Some of them seemed young in the mind. One even started screaming for her mother. Covering her head. Another yelled for his wife. But he slowly turned to dust. Some got lucky but..some were very young when they got captured turned into these creatures I looked back at the earth pony. She was getting older.
" I didn't want this...didn't want this!!" I said sobbing softly. I held the mare’s hoof as it slowly turned to dust. But all she did was an ale. Showing a gentle motherly smile. I held her with my hooves staring calmly at her. I looked into her eyes. I felt my heartbeat from this pain.
" No...pony...wishes to harm...to others. Child...But you freed me... offered the rest of us freedom. I know it's not a pleasant freedom child...But don't forget about me or my friends. Don't forget about Mimic...Please remember." I closed my eyes, nodding she turned to pure dust while the dust blew in the wind. I looked down at the remaining living. I barely remember the number they had when only thirty are left alive. Most of them are very young or some were taken many days ago. They looked up to me. Some smiled, some had frowns But they knew what I had to do. I had to protect my friends. My home….Equestria.
I slowly walk away from the town locking myself in my room in the Mansion. I looked down at my Pip buck not sure what to think. Look through my music. I blinked seeing some old music that I haven't seen before. But Maybe it was recorded a long time ago from the pony who had it way before. Maybe it will help me feel better. It took a while for the music to start. It just had a strange horn playing now and then. I felt that the music was going to make me even sadder. The music had calm horns playing slowly. The music slowly had words starting to come from it.
'Empty hearts. Empty lives. How can we move on? It's sadly all we have left. To become what shall fully end in the second way..our hearts filled with our brains.' I heard a gentle knock on the door as the song went on. I heard the voice of Jonon softly speak. " Hero.. are you alright?" I closed my eyes, tears falling from them. ' Bring down your lifeline too. Oh please bring it down to sing with us.' Blaze opened the door and I looked at all my friends. They could tell my heart was broken. I turned off the pip buck turning to them. My eyes filled with tears
" I...killed them. I didn't wish to kill them. " Blaze turned to the others then wrapped her tail around me. She tried to pull me out of the Manson but with my magic, I grabbed on part of the wall. " No Blaze. I don't wish to leave this place. I just wish to sit here and brood." Blaze turned to look at me and kept her tail wrapped around me.
" Star Shooter, you need to come out and stop feeling sorry for yourself. You killed some folks because of a word. You can't just allow yourself to stay locked in a room forever crying." She drops me turning around and slapping my face with her clawed webbed foot. Her claws didn't dig into me. But it did hurt. I just stare at her. I wanted to sob but I felt like I needed it. " Listen I am sure other heroes have had these times of breaking down and crying and crying. But you don't need to cry, my love."
I just stared at her not sure what to think. Looking up at my other friends. I gave a weak smile. Slowly standing up walking out of the Mansion like they wanted me to.
It's been a few hours watching the Zebras from the cliff above. They were digging graves for all who died. It was going to be a large graveyard. I slowly walked down the path to watch the families cry. Some even carried the bodies of the dead. They wanted me to speak before all of them were buried. All the wounded walked out of the hospital following me up the hill. Blaze left to check on her home. I stood near the road on each left to right. There are many graves of the dead from both sides. I removed part of the ground placing the body of the baby dragon down into it. I sighed I wish I didn't have to kill her. But she asked me to name her and kill her. Slowly lifting her down with my magic into the hole. Lifting the dirt to place her in it. Lifting the stone it had her name on it. But that’s all I added.
Slowly watching all the eyes staring at me. But most went back to burying the dead. I looked up seeing the magic eaters that are free from Majesties will. Looking towards Ruby Glide who seems to have made a group of friends. That will start to follow her. I sigh but heard slow-walking behind me. Turning to see Blaze she had tears streaming down her face.
" Blaze?" I said very softly. She looked up to me with a weak smile.
"My home everyone knew and grew up with..re dead...I left it behind to just let it stay there. I can't think of sending the young back there. For a long time. But we won...the the first battle."
" But at what cost Blaze? At what Cost...all the towns are now under the control of the Majesties army. They have magic eater Queens there. I don't know what to do." Blaze smiled turning my head with her tail to look at the army I have formed over six months.
" Look at the Cost, my love... You may have been broken. But even so, you saved half of these creatures. You even gave them hope. I know we have lost so many to this battle. But with the battle, you will always lose so many. You can't just allow it to break you, my love." Sighing softly I looked back at the group starting to stare at me. All the bodies have been placed in their graves. I looked at them all the Magic ghouls. The magic eaters no longer under the control of Majesty. Looking to see Doc, Zrannth, and all the leaders of each army. I looked to Bulk for just a moment. I didn't know what to think about this. I closed my eyes and softly spoke loudly.
" The battle is over, for now, my friends. But many lost their lives for nothing. A Queen tried to kill us because we refused to give her the love that she wanted. We refused to bow to her. We refused to tell her. Oh, you may lead us however you want. She pushed so many away from herself. I learned back then she used to be a wonderful leader. But she lost her way. Most always lose their ways. I know I will sooner or later. But we must stay strong. Look at all the dead. That was in the name of the Queen. She sent so many Magic eaters. With the mind and they know how to live. She killed children and kidnapped them turning them into those armored monsters." I closed my eyes and was not sure what to think. But before I could end my speech a strange spell came from the castle and the face of the Warden forms.
" To all that can hear me. I have been watching the battle. Good job hero. You have done wonders. But now Majesty is locking down the entire castle. She is trying to purge it now. Sadly the legend said this would happen. Please, a hero a year from now, please. I will do my best to keep those alive inside the castle. Take back the towns. Kill her minions. Destroy Mix. Kill Mouse and end Cricket’s life. This is the last time you will hear anything from me. I am sorry my friends. Warden radio is dead for now." After the face vanished. The tower transmitter exploded causing it to fall inside the castle. I sigh not sure if I am the right one for this fight. I turn to look at all the eyes staring at me. I turn to my friends and then look at my wife to be. I know sooner or later I will marry Blaze. I see her want in her eyes for me to be the hero. So many voices are telling me I can’t be the hero. But I must..
" Listen to every pony." They all looked at me. I had a gentle smile on my face. "Let’s rest, rebuild get ready for the final battle. But that will be in a few months. I for one...will take time to relax and rest." I looked at the grave of the dragon. Put my hoof on her name. Smiling softly to myself. Then looking back to Blaze.
" Come let's go to the inn with the others and rest." Blaze nodded.
An hour later. The in was silent. Many Zebras and ponies were inside it. But most of them stayed outside. I could hear hammers and before I came inside. Most were fishing. I sat at a table with my friends. Even so, he couldn't sit in the booth with us. Dr. Slice hovered right beside it. The rest of us sat at the booth. I sat right near Blaze who wrapped around me very tightly. No way I was going to be moved from her. Jonon stroked her wounded hoof. The other two just sat there.
"I feel bad for what I did. But Maybe it was wise." Looking at the pip buck noticing that the radio is no longer able to be selected. " But at least we won the battle. But the war is just starting." leaned into Blaze closing my eyes. Her tail wrapped tightly around me to keep me very close to her. Nuzzling along her back gently. Speckled scale walked to us ready to get our order. I smiled at her.
"I will have some fish and magic juice." She nodded with a smile. The others ordered what they wanted but the oddest order was from Dr. Slice.
"Could you bring me some oil? Well, I think oil is what I drink now? Maybe Not sure at all." He would try to shrug. She nodded heading back to the kitchen. Laying my head on the table closing my eyes. Looking to Blaze who is hiding her pain. I smiled softly knowing that she will never be whole again. But maybe it will be time for her to move on.
" Now let’s remove ourselves from the want of battle. A few months and the year will hit. Till then I feel we should rest and get ready for the final battle. But we do it in our ways." I gave Blaze a gentle smile kissing her deeply feeling like this is right. The others near us just watched this. Jonon, of course, rolled her eyes. I broke it gently and Blaze stares at me laughing.
"I agree..." Jonon calmly said. " I feel maybe it's best to get all the army ready. Then get you back home child." Smiling softly, closing my eyes laying my head on the table again. Our drink finally came. There were many different drinks. But I didn't even know what to call them. lifting the drink in my magic taking a drink. Feeling the magic fill me gently. It helped me feel happy. I felt a bit drunk from the magic even though It just hit me. But how did they mix magic into a drink? I always felt it's impressive. But it made me happy, is that not a good thing? Black Feather and Skull crusher drank their drinks. But Jonon just sipped her water.
Blaze drank some strange fluid that made steam come from her mouth and nose. Closing my eyes, feeling the magic filling into me. The core of my magic is filled with magic. Drinking more of the drink to let my core fill me. Drinking more of the magic. Blaze wrapped her tail around the glass pulling it from me for a moment. Looking to Blaze I blinked.
"Slower my love. We don't need you to get drunk from this drink." I frowned, sighing a bit. The food finally came as well. We all had fish on the table it was a way to honor us. It's oddly one of the only things you can eat here. Since it's a fishing town and more of the food is very hard to grow. The garden in the Mansion kind of died during the battle. Lifting the fork eating a few bites. Feeling every bite and flavor of the food. Sighing again, closing my eyes. But I heard screaming outside. Rushing outside quickly.
When I got outside Hawk and the others were aiming their weapons at Mix who was starting to break through his bonds. We left him hanging in the same spot he was in for the past few hours and slowly walked to him, breaking the rope to let him down from the rope. He flew above half is a body was still missing but his eyes grew back. Thanks to the Stopwatch finally repairs he looked to the rest of us then to me. His anger was very easy to see.
" Listen, hero...We will meet again in a year...The final battle will start and then we will either die together or you will die." He vanishes from the stopwatch. I sighed, I went back to the inn going back inside to eat and enjoy my time with my friends. it was time to enjoy our lives before the battles begin again I walk up to the cliff near the Mansion. Sitting down I watch the world of the broken town slowly going back to normal. Blaze sat right beside me.
“I was asked a question just recently. The question was why do I love such a weak mare?” I don’t blame her for getting that question. I tend to look weak and broken most of the time. I could either be stronger for her or maybe someday I will.
“What did you say to the question?”
“I said that makes me love you more. I love that you’re not some strong powerful mare. That you have your limits that you easily have a broken heart. I watch you fight, you try so hard not to harm anyone. Even if it’s MIx or Cricket or even that robotic Mouse. My love for you will never change even if you become a heartless mare. I look at you and I see the heart you have. It makes me feel deeply for you. Just to see you sit here crying. It’s not only proof that you’re the hero of legend. But the mare I want to spend my entire life with. Take those words to heart.” She stood up and went back down the road into town to do her best to help.
She is right. Laying down near the edge watching the rest of the town. I had been lucky to meet someone like her. If I kept looking at it through her view. It’s alright to be strong but also show weakness.
