“STOP!” shouted Fluttershy her eyes snapping open as they glowed a barrier appearing in front of her. “Sans this is not you.”
“you sure about that sweet cheeks?” the darker Sans asked lifting his hand again, Fluttershy frowned. “you know nothing about me.”
Familiar options appeared in front of Fluttershy and she pressed the ‘Check’ option.
Fallen ‘Fell’ Sans
? Atk 1 Def
Run
“No.” Fluttershy said as the next attack launched towards her as her SOUL appeared. Her hoof shot out wrapping around it as she spoke softly. “I will not fight you like this.”
“you don’t really have a choice.” the sharp teeth widen into a smirk as the Fallen Sans launched more attacks. Fluttershy kept her barrier up tears welling up in her eyes.
“I don’t want to fight my friends.” Fluttershy whispered her feathers starting to pulling away from her wings. “I would give up everything to save you.”
Old wounds opened as Fluttershy felt familiar appendages, she fell to her knees holding her SOUL close. Her eyes opened as the tears dropped in front of her as she realized that she was no longer in front of the Fallen Sans. Her teal eyes looked around seeing a garden in front of her, the air was warm. Humming filled the air as a blue Earth Pony bustled past.
“Come on now honey, time to wake up.” she spoke ignoring the pegasi there. Among all the flowers were each of the Monsters, familiar ponies, Princess Luna, and humans. They seemed to be resting peacefully. the pony turned her head revealing a yellow bird like mask with blue stripes look towards her.
“Wake up.”
Feathers brush pass Fluttershy causing her to look up seeing the hallway. The dark Sans still standing in front of her the bones having been blocked by thick vines. Fluttershy grabbed onto her heavily damaged SOUL. She closed her eyes a green aura shining around her as she felt deep pain within the Sans in front of her. Yet she knew he wasn’t ready to be saved.
“I’m sorry.” she whispered before tapping her hoof against the ground the vines shooting forward to block the hall as she ran away.
Fell cursed as the vines blocked his view from the pony. He was going to get in trouble if he lost sight of her. He backed away teleporting to the other side of the vines. She had already gone, though her path was marked by blood and feathers. He grinned before following the path given to him taking quick note that the castle was changing. The walls were shifting leading to different halls. ‘well something doesn’t want us getting out.’ he thought as he continued to follow the feathers.
Fluttershy slowed her pace down feeling weakened, looking back she saw her wings gone. ‘I have to save them. Deep inside they are hurting.’ she thought as she moved forward to the last location she saw Toriel. She staggered moving to lean against a nearby wall panting, she took a deep breath as she pushed off of it. Walking to the closest door she pushed it open and walked a bright light shining around her as she vanished.
Fluttershy walked through a meadow at night, a cool breeze drifting through the air. Her teal eyes taking in everything. A shooting star flashed above her as she took in everything before hearing a quiet sobbing. Moving towards the noise she saw a familiar figure. It was the Night Elf form that Luna took.
“Princess Luna?” Fluttershy spoke quietly causing the Night Elf to raise her head. She looked shocked and began to ask. “How do you know who I am?”
“It’s me, Fluttershy.” Fluttershy told her quietly and Luna tilted her head to the side. “You don’t remember me?”
Luna tilted her head to the side before shaking it. Fluttershy sat next to her before saying. “I know the truth about Degmur and you dreamwalking to Azeroth. I know about Illidan.”
Luna’s eyes widened as she spoke quietly. “How do you know?”
“I met him.” Fluttershy replied and Luna looked away hurt. “Why didn’t you tell your sister?”
“Our worlds were never supposed to meet.” Luna uttered looking up at the sky. “Azeroth and our own, if it wasn’t for that Imp trying to corrupt my sister… I would have never discovered the world they were trying to destroy. But I pushed my family away for an adventure.”
Fluttershy tilted her head to the side before looking up seeing that the moon was instead a deep purple heart with a large crack through the center. A wound that Luna kept within herself. Something she did not want to tell even them, even after all they did with the Tantabus she did not want anyone to find out.
“I wanted to be like her, not afraid to bend the rules.” Luna said looking up at the sky with white eyes. “Yet because of what I did….”
Shadows wrapped around Luna and Fluttershy tried to place a hoof on her shoulder only to be thrown back.
“I began to see things the way Illidan did, I grew jealous of Celestia. She was always favored. I wanted what she had, the attention, the adoration, I craved it. I CRAVE IT!”
“Princess Luna!” Fluttershy called as the shadows sank into the ground. She looked around before taking off to find the princess.
Rainbow’s eyes opened up as golden strands returned to her, Twilight walking to her side asking. “Anything?”
“Fluttershy is in the castle, but I can’t get anything. It’s like something is wrong in the castle itself.” Rainbow replied looking over at Rarity. “Anything?”
“I can’t get connected to her, it’s like static.” Rarity spoke her eyes opening as well. “Fluttershy is alone on this one.”
“We need to find Discord.” Twilight told them her eyes looking around a pony vanishing around the corner. Her violet eyes focused on the castle narrowing. ‘What is your game Dawning Gloom?’
“Princess Luna!” Fluttershy called looking as she searched for her as the scenery began to change. “Please, I want to talk!”
“Why?” Luna’s voice whispered all around her. “Why do you want to talk to someone like me?”
“You’re my friend.” answered Fluttershy looking around. “Do you think I will not like you because of this?”
“Because of what I did, I longed for Azeroth so much so that I began to compare our lives.” Luna spoke a form of her appearing out of the shadows. “I longed for a sibling like Malfurion, I couldn’t even see how wonderful my own sister is.”
“That happens, that is what being family is about.” Fluttershy started moving towards her only to get blasted out by the shadows.
Fluttershy let out a groan as she landed outside the door. Panting she swallowed harshly looking next to it. Glowing hash marks were on the wall, swiping her hoof another one appeared. ‘Almost three months have passed and still haven’t made any progress with her.’ Fluttershy thought tilting her head forward and closing her eyes. ‘What can I do?’
“Time to wake up honey.”
An image of a mask flashed in her eyes and her head snapped open. She took off towards her hiding place. It was the kitchen, someplace Fluttershy was glad to have found during her first week there. What did catch her interest was that she wasn’t hungry for the most part despite having been there for over three months. One meal had satisfied her. ‘That isn’t my focus.’ she thought moving over to the table. Placing her hoof on the surface she closed her eyes and focused her mind on creating an image. The surface of the table warped presenting a mask of Celestia in front of her.
“I just hope this works.” Fluttershy mumbled taking the mask watching as a vine grew from it to help the mask secure into place. “I hope you don’t mind Princess Celestia, this is to help your sister.”
Placing the mask on her head Fluttershy ran back to the room, not before grabbing her saddlebag. She looked at the window waiting for the sun to set. ‘Isn’t it odd how a trip to the kitchen takes a day?’ a voice in the back of her mind whispered. Fluttershy shook her head again before placing her hoof against the door knob and pulled open the door entering the room.
Fluttershy moved through the meadow looking around calling out. “Princess Luna?”
“Why have you returned?” Luna’s voice questioned sounding dull and almost lifeless. Fluttershy moved towards the sound finding Luna looking tired staring at the sky.
“You do not belong here.” Luna continued, Fluttershy frowned before responding. “I want to help you Princess Luna.”
“Nobody can help me.” Fluttershy bit tears back at the response, taking a deep breath she spoke. “She can.”
Taking the mask Fluttershy pulled it over her face. At first nothing happened until a presence entered Fluttershy’s mind and her body changed.
“Luna.” Celestia’s voice called out causing Luna to turn around. “I forgive you Luna. I forgave you long ago.”
“Celie.” Luna sobbed before rushing forward. “I’m so sorry. For everything I’ve done, even the things I can’t tell you about!”
“Please listen to me Luna, I am sorry too. I am sorry for banishing you to the moon for all those years.” Celestia replied wrapping her wings around her sister. “For not paying attention like a sister should.”
“You were the best sister I could ask for.” Luna felt a warmth shoot through her body. “I was jealous of all the attention that you received and all the attention you gave. I thought I wasn’t needed and when I found a place all for my own I thought I didn’t need you anymore! I thought I could take your place and nothing would change. I wanted my own light to shine without you!”
Celestia smiled as she whispered into Luna’s ear. “I will always love you Luna and that will never change.”
Luna smiled before laughing as she hugged her sister. The purple heart’s crack healing into a thin scar. The mask shattered as the area around them faded.
“Princess Luna?” Fluttershy called out and Luna’s eyes snapped open as she sat up. “You’re awake!”
“Fluttershy?” asked Luna looking at the pegasus pony with confusion. “What is going on? Where are your wings?”
“I… I’m not sure.” Fluttershy answered looking at the deep scars. “I’m just glad you are awake perhaps you can… Princess Luna? Why are you fading?”
Luna looked down at her own hooves watching as they began to vanish. She looked at Fluttershy as the area darkened around her. Looking around she called out for Fluttershy until she heard a voice ask. “Luna?”
The light came back and she found herself in her old room in the Castle of the Two Sisters. Turning around she saw Celestia standing there, that was when she knew that Fluttershy was in trouble.
Fluttershy swallowed when Luna vanished, looking towards the door she headed out only to find that the area had changed. She blinked before turning around only to find the room gone as well. She felt irritation rise within her glad that she had her pack on her with food inside. She felt the are shift and knew she was by the training room that had been built for the Spartans. Moving towards it she pushed open the door poking her head inside. Standing there was a tall creature with horns like a bull.
“Hello?” she called out causing him to turn with wild eyes. “Who are you?”
The male let out a roar charging towards her and Fluttershy jerked her head out slamming the door shut. There was a loud thud on the other side as the door strained under the weight. Taking a deep breath she heard the roaring fade. She blinked opening her eyes before letting out the breath. The area shifted as the mysterious mare’s voice.
“Ah come on sweetheart, you look like you’re having a nightmare.”
Fluttershy looked at the door behind her breathing deeply. She looked back at the door before opening it. The strange creature looked at her before a light erupted from him engulfing the entire room and Fluttershy vanished.
