Chapter Three: Rift Opener

Previous Chapter

After Sombra had met Breakup's parents, he wanted to be sure that Breakup would never have to think that he would leave him again. Instead of just making some random act of love, Sombra and the princesses all pitched in to make Breakup's Birthday one to never forget.

Meanwhile in the markets...

Breakup was having a tough decision on where he wanted to stay. He wanted to live like a normal pony, but he knew that royalty did not live in peasant houses. Breakup shook off the thought as his sister walked up to him.

"Hey big bro, want a few lessons on what you can do?" Breakup nodded and followed his sister to a abandoned courtyard. The courtyard was covered in vines and wildlife was all around as they entered the large garden. Breakup looked around more and found a tree that dropped rainbow apples. Without a warning, Breakup bucked the tree and knocked all the apples out of the tree. One apple bounced into Turquoise's paw as she was showing off the place. Turquoise glared in his direction, then dropped her jaw as he knock every apple out of the tree.

"You know, a simple thank you would suffice." He giggled and put the apple in her hand in her mouth. Turquoise just took a bit and glared at him. Breakup was about to pull a lever he found, till he had a question pop in his head. "So when did mom and dad have you?"

"I was created the day of your disappearance, your mom and dad really was happy when i told what had happened to you. When we got that letter that you were found, the entire hive cheered. We decided that i would teach you all that our kind can do."

Breakup smiled and looked in her direction as he pulled the lever. The ground started to shake as he walked over to Turquoise. Turquoise jumped, just as the floor gave way. Breakup was less fortunate as he fell through. Breakup tried to extend his wings, but something prevented them doing such a action.

This damn place has a flight spell, that means i can't even turn into a ball of fire. Breakup's thought were stopped as his face made contact with the stony floor of what appeared to be a tomb. Turquoise walked down a flight of stairs that revealed themselves right as Breakup plummeted to the bottom.

"Why is there a hidden tomb in a abandoned garden in Canterlot? And why was i the only one who knew how to open it!?!?" Breakup's loud rage was heard across the large room, resulting in a large group of wisps appearing out of no where. The small trail of blue ghosts made a path deeper into the tomb. "You know the rules Turquoise, we have to follow them. They will lead us to our fate."

As Breakup looked back to see Turquoise's response, he saw his parents and his coltfriend, looking behind Breakup at the trail of wisps.

"Um, Torch. He seems to be having a fate-changer. What do we do?" The changeling queen's sight ripped from her son's direction to her mate's direction. The Dracoris King kept his eyes on the wisps till his mate slapped him across the face.

"And why in the name of the current princess did you do that?" He said in a calm tone.

"Dad, you were staring out at the wisps, which i have to say look so cute." Turquoise was about to walk up to one, but Breakup stopped her. "What gives bro?"

"You get close to one, and we all will have to chase you to where the wisps are heading." Breakup pointed a claw at the trail, then traced it down the long tunnel. A long silence filled the tomb till the princesses and the main six arrived. As they walked of the stair to marvel at the site, they watched Breakup touch a statue then walk up to the two princesses as if he was giving battle instructions.

"This tomb was finished being built the day you were born Celestia. And was sealed off the day you were born Luna." The princesses looked at each other in disbelief. A tomb hiding Breakup's history was built and sealed off on their birthdays. As Breakup turned around, he motioned the others to follow him as he approached the wisps.

One by one, one wisp disappeared and reappeared at the back of the line. Breakup kept his entire focus on the wisp trail, ignoring any other distractions. As the dark, empty tomb walls got bigger, the wisps were more distant. After the long walk, they arrived to a alter holding a book. Breakup heard voices, but as he turned, they weren't coming from the group. He walked closer to the alter, resulting in him shivering as the voices grew louder.

"I hear...voices. But all that is here is a book." He walked up to the alter, and quickly regretted his decision. The book flew open, and the words started to glow. Lifting off the pages, they swarmed him like bees. As the words flew into his eyes, he only had one hope, use the spell so it would stop. Breakup did his best to understand the spell, when he completely knew the spell, he charged his horn and struck the center pedestal of the room.

With a crack of lightning and a gust of wind, cracks appeared around the room. As fast as they appeared, they burst open, releasing what ever was on the other side. Dragon eggs never seen before and a few items landed into Breakup's saddle bag. Then, gemstones started floating out of the other crack. Finally as the last gem floated to Breakup, the portals closed, the book closed, and Breakup collapsed from the overuse of magic.

"BABE!" Sombra and Rose rushed over to Breakup, carrying him to the castle's medical wing. The rest of the group ran close behind, being sure that nothing was going to stop them. As they reached the castle, the three princesses signaled for there to be a clear path to the medical ward.

As Breakup was set on a cot, nurses rushed in. Most holding water, others holding gauze. Sombra was taken back as he spotted a ton of scratches, bleeding across Breakup's body. As soon as he was patched up, it took a week before he finally woke up.

"Wha-what happened?"
