Return of the Lost

Lux POV

I decided to go out in search of Stygian, the pony who had taken a small part of my darkness, I needed to free him from the confines of my own darkness, Stein as always accompanied me, my loyal friend, I still don't know what he sees in me, but I’m glad he's with me. Stygian's location was not a problem, from the cave I could feel the darkness calling me, like a son to his father, once I got an exact idea of where Stygian was, I teleported with Stein to the place, I couldn't teleport to the exact location, the darkness covered a somewhat wide range, which wouldn't let me know exactly where Stygian was, so we ended up in a weird forest. The good news is that we were close to it, as we went deep into the forest I began to remember my reunion with my sisters, my little princesses had grown up, I wanted to hug them so bad.

After a few minutes we arrived, the darkness was throbbing, calling me. We found some pillars apparently each pillar had a meaning, and they were the ones that kept Stygian sealed along with my darkness.

Looking closer I noticed that six ponies had sacrificed themselves to seal Stygian, I could feel the magical energies inside each pillar, without waiting any longer I decided to break the seal, an innocent pony had suffered a lot thanks to my own power, and others had to sacrifice themselves to stop it.

With a magic pulse I broke the seal, the resistance of the seal was equivalent to that of a paper, it was not very difficult to break it, a couple of seconds then ponies began to appear, one for each pillar. Star Swirl was among them, Stein was in shock and so was I.

While pony that took care for my sisters insulted me, for breaking the seal, I was waiting for Stygian to come out, every second that passed I felt the darkness getting closer and closer, after about ten seconds Stygian came out, the darkness covered him, he looked like an Alicorn made out of shadows, Stygian began to threaten the newly released ponies, but when he saw me he stopped, he stared at me, and after a second the darkness left Stygian and came back to me, it felt as if a drop of water fell into an ocean.

The ponies were surprised, especially Star Swirl, none of them could see that I was an Alicorn, I covered my wings with a robe. With Stein I teleported back to the cave, I had already finished my main mission, but the doubt remained in my head, did I corrupted more innocent creatures these thousands of years in confinement?, when Stygian came to the cave I was awake, but maybe I corrupted other creatures over time, in the end my seal was a failure, like a tumor I expanded corrupting everything I laid a hoof on, one more reason to stay away from my sisters.

Star Swirl POV

A mysterious pony had broken the seal, he broke the seal without any difficulties like a colt opening a birthday present, and that was not the most impressive thing, the mysterious pony absorbed the pony of the shadows, and immediately left, leaving Stygian unconscious on the floor, with no trace of darkness in him, just how powerful was the mysterious pony.

“Celestia and Luna need to know this..” I said sighing.

Discord POV

I still remembered that monster, how could I forget, how I could be so stupid!!, his magic was overwhelming, and the darkness inside of him almost made me drown, why didn't I notice that before? What am I supposed to do now? This is the first time anyone has outdone me at everything, should I run or stay for Fluttershy.

“This is more chaos that I can possibly handle.” I said trying to think of a solution to all this.

Celestia POV

Who was that mysterious pony, I was puzzled, Discord was behaving seriously and worried, that's something you do not expect from him, Discord recommended me to investigate a weapon with more power than the elements, and I agreed with him, if this pony was an enemy the elements would not be able to stop him, what I do not understand is why his magic felt so familiar, who is this pony...

“I wonder if I’ll be able to protect my little ponies this time” I said to myself.

Luna POV

Discord was terrified of the mysterious pony, and with a good reason, his magic was overwhelming, but still it didn't scare me, instead it brought me a familiar feeling which for some reason I couldn't remember, I hope he's not an enemy.

“I won’t give up! I will find a way!” I shouted in my room, trying to lift my own mood.

Stein POV

My master and I went out looking for Stygian, my opinions about seeking Stygian was simply to let him die, my master should not be over exercising his magic, the darkness within him could wake up again, but my master assure me that a drop of water would not start a tsunami, my master teleported us to the area where the imbecile was sealed. after walking a couple of minutes we found the place of the seal, six pillars keeping the seal, my master broke the seal with incredible ease, but it was to be expected, my master is the one who stands above all! , when the seal broke, I was surprised to see Star Swirl, but I dissimulated the surprise along with my master, after my dear master absorbed the darkness out that imbecile we teleported to the cave.

“I will always be on your side either saving the world or destroying it, for I am nothing but tool to be used.” I said looking at my master eyes.

“Stein, please find a hobby.” My dear master replied.
