After some time I finally managed to let go of Bon Bon, she still wore that friendly and kind smile on her though. “Thanks… I feel better now.” I said to her.

“Any time AJ.” She replied softly, “What will you do now?” She continued resting an hand on my shoulder.

“I will return to Jackie’s place and prepare for the incoming hit at the bank.” I replied.

“Wasn’t that do for the day-” She looked at the hour. “-For tomorrow?” She corrected herself.

“True but I don’t really have anything else to do.” I shrugged.

“That’s not true, we do have something to do to pass the time. Truth or dare?” She asked.

“What?” I replied not knowing what that was.

“Never played it? That’s fine. Basically the whole game revolve around one question, truth or dare. If you chose truth you must answer a question truthfully, if you chose dare then you need to do what the one that asked you tells you to do.” She explained.

“I dunno... There aren’t a lot of secrets with me and-” She shushed me with a hand.

“Yes or no?” She asked.

“Fine.” I conceded.

“Yay, I’ll go first. Truth or dare?” She asked.

‘Let’s go with an easy one.’ “Dare.”

“I dare you revert to your baby form to make me snuggle you.” She said with a smirk.

“Wut.” I asked. “Fine I guess.” I returned to my child form and she immediately pulled me into a hug squeezing me.

“You are soooo cuuuute.” She said with glee.

“Happy to know that.” I said in her hair. “Truth or dare?”

“Truth.” She replied.

I had to think for a moment to know what to ask but I went with an easy one. “What’s your favorite food?” I asked.

“Really?” She asked unamused. “That’s the best you could do?” I shrugged at that. “Fine. My favourite food is cream pie. My turn now! Truth or dare?”

“Truth.” I replied.

“What’s YOUR favourite food?” She asked.

“Uhm, errr I don’t know? I never really tasted anything yet?” I said.

“WHAT?! I must give you my special cream pie then wait here!” She ordered rather forcefully. I complied and waited her return in her room and waited.

She came back with a freshly cooked cream pie. It was good.

‘Why. Why aren’t you charging fast enough!?’ I thought angrily at the portal in front of me.

“Darling if you continue with that frown you will get permanent wrinkles.” Rarity said stroking her mane.

“Shush I’m thinking.” I hissed. I watched over my calculation and analisis once again but I couldn’t find the culprit, I was going crazy. We had to rebuild the laboratory after the incident and now it’s completely made out of biomass hard enough to withstand a good beating so it came to no surprise that when my punch hit my desk I only dented it instead of completely shatter it.

“Why do you not work!” I screamed. The hit though made the item that was covered by stacks of paper jump out. It was the Alicorn amulet, dad said I couldn’t take it without him knowing but I’ll show him I can work and study a dangerous item without a worry. I then noticed, when I picked it up that the gem was glowing.

“Uh… Wait. YES Hahahaha YES!” I shouted happily. ”I got it!”

“You got what darling?” Rarity asked.

“I figured out why the portal isn’t charging fast enough, the magic you are pouring is leaking through the runes of the portal, it requires an incredible amount of power to activate because of that. I just need to find something to cover the leak, but what?” I pondered. I looked once more at the amulet, ‘I wonder…’ I grabbed the central gem and yanked it out of the amulet, the gem immediately got destabilized and started to flash an angry red. I opened the floor of the lab and threw the gem in it waiting. After a second the gem exploded with a thunderous sound that echoed in the entire castel. The floor held true though but the damage was done.

“Fuck.” I said.

“Twilight what was that?” Rarity shouted still pouring magic in the portal.

“Nothing!” I said quickly.

“TWILIGHT!” I heard my dad shout.

“Fuck.”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ FLUTTERSHY POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

“TWILIGHT!” I heard my father shout from the castle.

“Twilight… what happened this time?” I muttered to myself shaking my head.

“Hey sis catch!” Rainbow shouted throwing the ball to me, I reacted just in time but the shout distracted me so I threw the ball away from the others.

“Fluttershy you need to remain focused you silly you.” Pinkie said. “Otherwise this whole volleyball match will be lost.” She said in her usual tone bouncing up and down. “Am I right gummy?” She asked to her cragadile pet, who just nodded lazily before returning at his sunbath.

“I’m sorry girls the shout distracted me.” I apologized.

“Yeah seems like dad is angry with Twilight, who knows what she did this time?” Rainbow mused. “But that’s not our problem now come on Flutter.” She said holding the ball.

“No thank you I think I will go checking on Angel and then Derpy.” I said.

Rainbow rolled her eyes. “Fine, come on Pinkie.”

“Awww.” The children said, they were so happy to play with us but I had to go.

“I’m sorry little ones but I really, really need to go.” I said apologetically.

“Ok.” They said all together.

“How about this when I’ll come back I’ll bring you some present is that ok?” I proposed.

“YAY!” “You are the best Fluttershy!” “No Rainbow is more awesome!” “Pinkie is funnier.” “Rarity is the best!” “NO” “NO.” They argued, I held my hand up.

“Now, now there is no need to argue. Every one of us is special in some way, there is no real best between us.” I said.

“What? I’m the best!” Rainbow boasted doing a loop de loop in the air.

“Children please do not boast Rainbow’s ego or it will block out the sun.” I said smirking.

“Yeah because I’m the best.” She said hovering in midair.

“Oh no the sun it’s gone!” Pinkie shouted.

“No that’s the ball in front of your face.” A children said.

“Oh right.” She said laughing, she took the ball and tossed it to the children where all laughed with her and I finally departed. I walked into the forest and called for Angel, the little bunny replied to my call and arrived from a nearby bush.

“Hello Angel.” I said.

“Hello Fluttershy.” He replied.

“Come with me, we are going to visit Derpy.” I said,

“Do we? That place is strange.” He complained.

“Oh Angel there is nothing wrong with the Heart.” I replied softly and motioned for him to jump over my hand.

He did so and we started moving. “How are you faring in the forest? Are the animals good?” I asked.

“Well after that show with the chimera only a fool would go against your laws.” He replied.

“I’m happy to hear that.” I said. “The forest is a wild place but at least near the roads and the city I don’t want any problems.”

“I understand, could we hurry then?” He asked with hurry.

“Why is that?” I asked.

“Ehm, it’s...Private?” He said sheepishly.

I smirked to him. “A little bunny found some, company?”

He flushed a bright red sputtering excuses and apologies. I just laughed at his expenses. “Don’t worry I won’t pry Angel, then we must hurry or you will be late.” I claimed and ran towards the Heart.

We arrived after some minutes of running and entered the now called Derpy’s room cause she remains here most of the times to talk to the heart. “Derpyyy?” I called.

“Over here Flutter.” She replied from the Heart waving at me.

“Hello Derpy, how are you?” I asked. “We didn’t hear anything from you for a day, dad was worried.” I said sitting down and motioning to her to do the same.

“Well, I was pretty busy with the Heart. You see when we found it it was almost dead so a lot of its functions were down. I was repairing it so to say. The repairs are going smoothly too and I think I’m ready to re-align the internal nexus to bring the Heart back to its former glory-”

“Wait.” I stopped her. “How do you know so much about the Heart? Surely you weren’t studying it while in Ponyville.” I said curious.

“I-I don’t really have an answer for you. I just know that I know how to do what I do you know?” She said.

“Ok… Sooo you just know what to do?” I asked.

“Well yes.” She replied calmly. “Now then I as telling you how I would re-align the nexus so I can put the Heart back to 100%”

“What does that entail?” I asked.

“With the Heart at full capability it can do it’s old tasks such as defending its inhabitant and keeping strangers away, but the best thing it’s a powerful teleporting capability inside the forest, special trees will grow and with those you can travel to all corners of the forest. There is another feature but that one is useless without all the other Hearts active.” She explained.

“Well, I’m glad you’re okay, don’t stress yourself over it too much ok?” I said.

“Yeah Flutter, don’t worry I’ll be fine.” She said and hopped off. “Now I have to return in the Heart see ya later.” She said cheerfully.

“Ok, bye.” I said, with that she walked away and re-entered the Heart.

“Well that was something, now can we go?” Angel chipped in.

“Yeah lover boy, we can go now.”

A day passed after my encounter with Bon Bon and I went around town enjoying the view of a such different city. But the time for me to head back to prepare for the hit has come thus I headed back to Jackie. I just landed in front of the observatory in time to find Twilight in front of it.

“Twilight I-” I started.

“Monster.” She said interrupting me, with a coldness in her voice of the which I never heard before.

“I’m sorry.” I said truthfully.

“Sorry won’t make him return back.” She said emotionlessly.

“I don’t understand Twi, he tried to kill you.” I tried to reason.

“That alone doesn’t give you the ability to judge.” She said sternly and walked away dismissing me with her hand. “I don’t want to see you ever again.” She said and disappeared from view.

I admit that I was considering going back to Bon Bon, seeing my sister face and hearing her voice, her venom inside those words... it hurted.

Alas I contained my emotions and entered the observatory. I found Jackie at his desk going with a phone.

“Yes, I understand that but you see.” “Now there is no need for this.” “Calm down will you?”

I grew tired of hearing a one way conversation so I modified my ear to hear the other voice too.

“You don’t understand Jackie you idiot! The hit is bound to happen in broad daylight you cannot go out there like that, you will die.” A feminine voice said, a voice that I recognized as Octavia.

“We cannot stay here and just let them waltz in there, we need those money, even more if to get them we take them from the Lightbringer.” Jackie said calmly.

“But not in the middle of the city and in the middle of the day!” She shouted enraged.

“I will think of something I-” He finally noticed me. “I have to go I’ll call you later.” He put the phone down and shot a smile to me. “Hello Appolonia what brings you here?”

I didn’t say anything I just watched him with a flat look.

“You heard the whole thing did you not?” A few moments of silence passed. “Fuck. Alright then if you have any idea I’m here to hear them, though I would prefer if those ideas didn’t involve Twilight and her friends. The stunt you pulled yesterday hit heavily on them all especially Twilight. Her friends are backing her so you are alone this time.” He said not letting me reading his emotions.

“I already said sorry to Twilight, please don’t bring the conversation up again.” I said putting a hand in my hair. “About the idea though we could just follow them, see where the money will go.” I proposed.

“We can’t, they will see us from a mile away.” He countered.

“What if I go first and follow them and you follow me? I can stay hidden and you will find their hideouts anyway.” I said.

Jackie thought about this for a bit before answering. “The idea is possible but how exactly are you going to pull it off?” He asked.

“Simple, I will follow them from the roofs in the city and then-” I morphed into a pitch black wolf high enough to reach Jackie waist. “-I will use this form for the woods if they actually exit from the city itself. What do you think?” I asked morphing back in my Appolonia disguise.

“I think we have a plan.” He said with a giant smirk on his face.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PHILIP POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

“Twilight I want to know what happened in there.” I said sternly.

“Well, you see… I was trying to understand why the mirror was taking so much to charge up and then I noticed that the Amulet was pulsating with magic so I deduced-”

“The amulet. You mean the Alicorn amulet, the very Amulet I told you not to play with and to not touch without me knowing about it, that Amulet.” I said as a matter of fact.

“Well…” She said with a hand behind her head.

“I’m very disappointed.” I said. “I clearly told you to not use it so why did you take it from the vault?”

“Oh come on dad!” She shouted catching me by surprise. “I’m not some child or baby, I’m a near invincible mass of virus! I know what I’m doing and I don’t need you there every single second of my life to tell me what to do or what not to do.” She finished with an exasperated sigh.

“Did you know what the amulet could have done?” I asked, masking my surprise at her outburst.

“I-”

“The Alicorn Amulet is called that way because it grants the magical power of an alicorn on the user. To do so though the amulet will twist and corrupt the mind of the user as well. Furthemore the amulet is impossible to remove unless the wearer do so.” I explained.

“I didn’t need to wear it to study it.” Twilight rebutted.

“May it be that it doesn’t change the fact that what you did was extremely dangerous, you could have got hurt or you could have got corrupted, what then? I would have to save you from that accursed thing, and I don’t know how I would have done so!” I finished shouting. “With a normal person I would have just obliged they to take it off but how could I do the same to you, and would that even be possible with your kind of body?” I said. Then added. “I could have lost you Twilight, we all could have lost you.”

“I... I’m sorry…” She said finally looking down.

I sighed. “It’s okay. You are fine that’s what matters.” I stood up from the throne and hugged her. “It doesn’t matter anymore the past is in the past. Just next time at least tell me, ok?” I received a nod as an answer. “So, what did you find out? If what you found is really important then I might give you enough trust to let you handle dangerous and cursed artifact. Ok?” I started to let her distract from this whole thing.

“Well, the mirror is leaking off sixty percent of the magic it absorb, maybe it’s because it’s so old so the runes are deteriorating or the design is flawed somewhere but in the end we need some kind of insulator.” She explained with her normal brightness that only she has when explaining something. From there she rocketed off with some more details about how the matrix could be at fault and where to find the perfect material to repair the leak, and I listened to all of it.

“Very interesting, I admit it I don’t have the slightest clue on how to actually repair something like that.” I said honestly. “But I know this, you are the perfect person to find a way to do it.” I said with a big smile crossing my arms.

“Thanks dad. I will go and find a way, I have to! Applejack’s counting on me.” She said determined and started walking out of the room.

“Oh one last thing.” I said, she looked back. “While I am sad you didn’t tell me about the amulet I am also proud of hearing you standing your ground against me. I will not always be right, you will probably be more than me so don’t be fearful, if what you want to say it’s important say so, ok?” I asked.

She smiled and nodded before running out of the throne room.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ APPLEJACK POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I was standing on the roof of a skyscraper right in front of the bank where the Lightbringer were supposed to be. I waited for them until after an hour the showed up, they arrived in a big, black truck and five of them exited it armed with guns. I saw them enter the bank and shouting then after half an hour they exited with a lot of bags supposedly filled with money then they ran off at full speed away from the bank just in time for the police to arrive on the scene.

I stood up and started to run on the roofs following it along the whole city, they were headed to the forest just out of town. Unfortunately the buildings were starting to finish so I had to drop onto the ground and morph into a wolf to follow them. After another half an hour passed they finally stopped and exited the truck then waited there probably for someone to get the money.

I used the little device Jackie gave me to give him my position, I activated it and then I waited for them to show up. No longer than a few minutes later they in fact arrived to my position, Jackie was the first to arrive by exiting from a shadow then the brothers showed up and Octavia too. “Where are they?” Jackie asked. I pointed him to the direction where they stopped, it was a small clearing covered by the foliage of the trees making the whole thing covered in a light shadow.

“Let’s go then we have money to take.” Jackie said and so we moved forward, he put a hand on the ground and ten little thing crawled from the shadows.

“Hey Jackie! Ready for a good ol massacre?” The little brown thing asked, it was very small with long arms and sharp teeth.

“Yep. Go.” He ordered them and they happily obliged launching themselves to the ignorant soldiers of the Lightbringers. Or so we thought.

“NOW!” A voice shouted and immediately the truck opened revealing a strange device inside of it which then turned on flashing us all with a very powerful light, then I heard some more little device being launched on the ground, they all exploded keeping us all blind with a tremendous light.

The little things of before screamed, and so did Jackie. I on the other hand shutted off my eyes and used sound instead to find out where the enemies where, I counted a total of six of them two in front of us ad four on the back near the truck. I was ready t go there and kill them all when I heard the sound of beating wings over me then a powerful arm grabbed me and pulled me in the air, then it threw me away in the forest where I collided with several trees breaking them. I opened my eyes once more and saw a seemingly human figure, he was clearly a male and was sporting a well toned body with a pair of big white wings on his back. His attire was a simple one with just a simple kilt to cover him, in his hand rested a long, golden halabard.

“Who the fuck are you?” I shouted to him.

“I am the Angelus.” he said in a monotone voice. “I knew you were here all along, something like you couldn’t hope to remain hidden for long in this world. Your existence is a blight, a disease very much like the Darkness. I will put you both down and the universe shall live in eternal light!” The Angelus said and charged at me with his weapon in front of him I sidestepped the first assault but he quickly spun around and hit me with his weapon drawing blood from my chest. ‘So this one can actually hurt me? This will be a real pain in the ass.’ I thought.

I healed my wound and charged at him ducking his incoming attack and punching him straight in the guts noticing how hard his body was, I managed to threw him in the air with my punch but he quickly recovered and pronounced some kind of words rotating his halabard in the air. Then on top of him a big lance made out of light shot out towards me, I quickly sidestepped it but it exploded blinding me with a powerful light.

I recovered from the blindness just in time to see him charging at me, this time he actually hit me and impaled me with his halabard. I screamed from the pain of it, but grabbed his halabard trying to get myself off of it. He noticed it and promptly threw me away against a tree.

“That one hurt you bastard.” I said through my teeth, I then covered my body with my armor and empowered my fists with a large amount of biomass. “You just want to die don’t you?”

I charged at him and jumped in the air then I slammed my fists on the ground breaking it and making several har spikes of biomass come out from the ground trying to impale him. He flew away from the spikes and intoned the same kind of words he used before. This time though I was ready, I grabbed a tree and after eradicating it, I threw it at him. The tree hit true and the Angelus fell to the ground, I didn’t waste my opportunity and jumped in the air, then I plummeted fists first right onto him destroying the ground around him.

He wasn’t finished though cause I felt his halabard piercing my armor on my flank and then he threw me off of him, he stood up at the same time as me and so I saw that even with all that I did nothing major to him, he readied his halabard and charged again. I ducked then I moved backwards to avoid his second hit, seeing an aperture I struck him in the ribs and then in the face throwing him on the ground. I then grabbed his legs and started to smash him on the ground several times before finally making him bounce the last time where I hit him directly in the face while he was mid air.

He was sent straight up with a bloodied face, though his expression didn’t change at all. He recovered and started to attack me once again, his halebard shined and he slashed the air in front of him generating a pulsating wave of golden light that cut through the air. The wave was too fast and big to avoid so I braced myself for the impact, the wave hit me and slashed my forearms completely severing them, then the wave continued and slashed my chest almost cutting it in half. Fortunately my armor and flesh blocked the fury of the wave.

I screamed in pain for losing my forearms and dropped on one knee, the Angelus landed on the ground and was walking towards me, as if he thought he was done and he had already won.

“Don’t you dare thinking ah’m down you fucking chicken!” I shouted. I stomped the ground and raised a big cloud of dust, then with the cover I created I rushed him and hit him in the face with my head throwing him away against a tree in the distance. I then used my left biomass to regenerate my arms and went to absorb back my cut off arms. With that done I grabbed a nearby tree and absorbed it to gain more biomass, with my reserves refilled I moved to face my opponent once more.

“You really pissed me off now!” I shouted to him when I saw him standing up, he readied another slash attack and so I jumped on the air to avoid it, I fell back to the ground charging at him. When I got my hands on him I created four more arms, with four of them I kept him still grabbing his legs and arms, while with my other two I pounded his body until it broke.

‘Harder, Faster!’ I redoubled my efforts, my fists were almost a blur. Finally I let him go and smashed all of my fists on him while he was down on the ground, his body was basically destroyed, multiple bones were pointing out of his chest and his arms were broken his face was battered and hardly recognizable. But he was still moving.

“Time for you tah die varmint!” I shouted. I grabbed his legs with three of my arms and with the other three I grabbed his midsection, then I started to pull. After a bit his body finally gave up and so it opened up with a terrible sound of ripping flesh and broken bones. I was expecting a shower of blood but instead only light escaped from his broken body, I threw the parts away and witnessed them starting to increase in brightness until they disappeared in a cloud of light.

“Fuck this shit. Without magic everything is harder… I almost died, stupid chicken.” I muttered. “Fuck, Jackie!” I remembered and sprinted to the ambush.

“Any final words Jackie?” A woman said, who I assumed was Velvet, pointing a gun to a defeated Jackie on his knees.

I jumped in the air and slammed my fists on the truck destroying it completely and killing for of the seven ambushers in the explosion. With the light gone Jackied grabbed Velvet’s gun and threw it away, then he stood up and punched her in the guts making her fly against a tree. “Where are the others?” I asked walking towards Jackie.

“Hey boss we are done here!” Dawn shouted from nearby.

“That answer my question. Jackie I think I killed the Angelus.” I said happily.

“I would like to believe you but… the Angelus cannot be killed only her host can. What you fought was probably a manifestation of the Angelus.” He said destroying my good mood.

“Well shucks.” I replied. “What do we do with her?” I asked pointing to Velvet.

“You… You are not going to do anything to me… The light will win and it will burn you all in its infinite power!” she shouted.

“You think I have to torture you to make you talk? I don’t need to do that.” I pointed out to her.

“Oh I know… The Goddess already told us of what you and your kind can do.” She said pointing another gun that she took from her waist at her head. “Too bad for you isn’t it?” She said smirking pulling the trigger. Her body fell on the ground a large pool of blood already was forming.

“Fuck!” I shouted. “Fuck now I can’t see her memories.” I said angrily. “What do we do now?”

“I don’t know. But it’s not like we don’t have time right?” Jackie said and right on clue the ground trembled. From the city an almighty pillar of light shot out to the sky clearing the clouds and leaving only the sun.

“...” I looked at him.

“Well shit.” He said.

“I have to go. I need to enter Celestia’s secret door one way or another even if I have to destroy the entire school to do it. There must be clues in there to take her down” I said then walked to Velvet’s body, I searched in her pockets to find anything useful and miraculously I found something. A picture of her and another woman, this one with pink hair and an ornate white wedding dress, the picture was taken in a church and at her right there was a tall boy with blue hair, probably the groom. I showed the picture to Jackie. “Who is this woman?” I asked.

“That’s Cadence. Their babysitter when Twilight was little, she always talked about her and how great she was. Why?” He asked.

“We need to find her. She might have the answer we are seeking.” I answered. “All of this is too connected to be just a coincidence. She is probably Velvet’s daughter in law, she has to know something.” I said.

“She works at the Crystal Prep School. You can find her there, but please do not kill her on sight.” Jackie said.

“There’s no time Jackie.” I said. “Or did you miss the giant pillar in the center of the city?” I continued pointing at it.

“I see that and that’s not good news but you cannot go around killing people just because you had a hunch!” He shouted pointing at me.

“I don’t have to kill her. I just need to make her talk…” I looked at Velvet’s body. “...and I know exactly how.”

“You were saying darling? Before dad called you to the throne room.” Rarity asked me, I was a little lost in my thoughts so I completely forgot to tell her the whole thing.

“Yeah,sorry. As I was saying I found out why the portal is so slow and-” An immense amount of magic came out from the portal, a blinding light coated the whole room and made the whole castle tremble. Then as quickly as it came it went away.

“What was that?” Rarity asked shocked.

“I don’t know, let me-” I checked the portal and my eyes widened. ‘The values are all over the place! The portal is going mad and soon it will collapse, I can’t let it happen but what can I do? The amulet is not big enough to cover the entire portal and at this rate it will completely shut down in under a minute!’ I was furiously searching for a solution any solution.

“Darling I don’t think I can keep this portal stable for much longer please tell me you have something in mind.” Rarity said in a strained tone.

I was so stressed and frustrated about this whole situation, everything was going straight to hell and I couldn’t do anything to stop it.

“Twilight…” Rarity said again.

“STOP!” I shouted with all my force towards the portal. As if the portal actually heard me the magic started to return back to normal.
“W-what?” I asked in bewilderment.

“Good job sister, I don’t know what you have done but it worked.” Rarity said happily hugging me.

“But I don’t know what happened.” I said.

“You channeled your element.” The voice of mom said from behind us, she walked towards us and sat down on a chair nearby. “You were born when Philip was hit by a powerful artifact called the Elements of Harmony, you six were born from those and from his flesh, you all inherited their powers each shard is inside of you.” She explained.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“It’s simple really. The elements of harmony were six. Laughter, Honesty, Loyalty, Kindness, Generosity and Magic. You my dear Twilight, you possess the element of Magic, but you do not just control and wield its power, you are that power. An incarnation if you want. It seems that your desire to stop the portal from collapsing and save your sister was strong enough to let you tap into your true self.” She finished.

“This, this is so confusing. Aren’t you my mom?” I asked with a heavy heart.

“Yes, I am.” She said. “But not in the traditional way. You see when I fled with your father away from Canterlot he asked me to keep an eye on you and to be your motherly figure, I was skeptical at the beginning you must understand. I barely knew this stranger and he asked me to be the mother of his daughters, weird, but I didn’t have a choice back there and so I accepted. Unfortunately I was attacked by the creature of the forest and I was almost killed. He saved me though, he made me in what you see right now. I was a pony before, a unicorn, the personal student of Celestia herself.” She said with a shadow in her eyes, those memories still hurt her. “Until she decided to make me into the first of many living weapons for her army… When I almost died your father saved me, from there we decided to become a couple, a bit rushed yes but I had a feeling that he was the perfect one for me, after all we already had kids so why not right?” She said winking at us then continued. “After that we went down into the basement of our first house to check on you, that was when I noticed that by touching you I gave you a bit of myself.” She said pointing at my red streak in my hair. “So even if I wasn’t the one that gave birth to you, you are still technically my daughters, and you will always be.” She said with a loving smile.

The story while a strange one was not unwelcome, knowing where I come from and what kind of dangers my parents traversed to protect us was very heartwarming. Not only I now knew how I was born I had also the possibility of studying a new form of power, one that resided inside the most powerful artifact in existence.

‘Oh I will enjoy studying this power, the possibilities are endless. If I can control magic like I did before, where’s the limit, and what kind of power did the others have? I must find out! For science of course.’
