Chapter 4: The Old Life

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It took me some time to finally find Cloudsdale and landing near a massive Cloud House. The only thing I was able to remember was that I had a Family before... but there was no other memory of how they looked like, so I searched for the address that was given to me and landed in front of the house. Well there was I... standing in front of a wooden door... unsure if I should really knock or just fly away abandoning my old life... I took a deep breath before knocking on the door. I waited for about a minute before a Pegasus Mare with dark Violet fur opened the door.

"Yes? Can I..."

She wanted to ask something but quickly noticed who was standing in front of her. I tilted my head while she teared up.

"Excuse me, I'm searching the 'Flame' Family. Do you know where I can find them?"

I asked ignoring the tears, what I now regret. The Pegasus wiped away her tears and suddenly hugged me.

"You just found them..."

She lost her control and began to cry. I gently pushed her back to take a closer look.

"M-mom?... Is that you?..."

My memory slowly returned as I teared up as well. She turned around before calling somepony.

"Darian! You won't believe who came home!"

I heard a Foal trotting through the halls before standing shocked in front of me. I was surprised as well because I didn't expect a Unicorn in Cloudsdale, or in my Family to be more exact.

"Uhm... Hello?"

I tilted my head and stared at the little Unicorn. The little Colt jumped excited at me and hugged my front hooves.

"Lucky! I missed you so much!"

I looked at Viollette confused. She frowned and wiped away some tears again.

"Is there something wrong Lucky? aren't you happy to be back?"

She asked me with a small frown on her face. I sighed and looked down at Darian before answering with a trembling voice.

"I can't remember anything anymore... It's... It faded all away..."

I looked at the Mare and sighed. I somehow regret that I couldn't remember anything, even though it wasn't my fault.

"And I'm afraid your name is gone as well... I only remember that you're my Mom..."

She smiled kindly. It looked like she wasn't mad but I felt so bad inside.

"It's Viollette Sweety."

My head sunk down and even before I could ask she answered my question.

"And that's Darian, your little brother... and yes he's a Unicorn instead of a Pegasus"

Viollette waved me in and dragged Darian away from me with a smile. I sat down on a sofa and looked around.

"I don't remember anything..."

I mumbled and tried to resurrect my memories. Viollette walked up to me and dragged me out of my thoughts.

"Do you want something to drink?"

My eyes focused on her and I smiled a bit, after all those years I was able to smile again.

"Uhm... s-sure I'd just like a cider"

Viollette nodded and walked to the kitchen after sending Darian upstairs. After a while she came out with a mug of cider for me and a tea for her. She gave me the cider and sat down on the sofa. She talked with me about all the things I've done while living here, filling my memories again. She let me sleep in my old room and I was very thankful for that.
