Torture, hate, death and a little friendship

I can't waste time, god how did i forget Miranda there? Man, fear really makes you do stupid things, ok, focus, open the suitcase, a nice view on my opinion, several pegasus master feathers, and just below the pen a small cutie mark drawing of the pony owner of the pen, if if it is a griffin it will have, well, a drawing of a griffin. But this is not what I want, I pull the support that keeps them as carefully as I can, the last thing I want is to mess up these feathers... Again, well, now there are the mane or tail threads of the normal ponies, seriously why did I put the horns in the bottom? I repeat the process and see my biggest trophies, several horns in a row, each with a rune underneath representing the last magic that the horn owner used, well, before I stole it.

it's blue, a moon cutie mark with a wand, I remember it, arrogant and calling itself the savior of Canterlot, pathetic, at least it was a powerful unicorn that left me a spell of illusions, maybe I use, I look for others, that of Luna, useless, serious as I hate her, she made a point of making her horn useless, I mean, it can be useful, but not now.

Ahhhh there it is, another blue horn, cutie mark a swirl with some stars, this si was a challenge, he enters a top 3 of the most difficult fights easy, and the magic missile he left me only makes the situation even better!

Ok, Cadence's horn ... Yes, maybe in fact, a love spell is not the most attractive of the weapons but it is very useful in fact, ok now my biggest prize is the Celestia horn---

It's empty, yes, I was using ...

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

How the fuck did I miss him ?! Shit, shit shit shit, god, this is going to be a tough fight, maybe I have to use my magic (shakes,) NO, no fear, this is for Miranda! I will use every last drop of mana I have if necessary!

I sigh, I look at my coat, the horn of Tw --- her horn, for some reason I never feel fear or anxiety using it, I think it’s because it reminds me of that day, the day I broke free, besides I have one another white horn, very useful for shields, well, her brother was very annoying to kill, full of shields, but one time he missed, and I got it right.

I feel my stomach growling, I haven't eaten anything all day, and it's already dark outside, the Everfree forest is dangerous at night, and hunger---

Wait... If the princesses are alive... That means... They are ALIVE !!! God I can already taste the meat of alicorn in my mouth! Simply the best meat, without discussion, as simple as that! Man... Dude!!! I forgot a little in New Canterlot !!! I was saving it as a birthday present for Miranda! If I had known that... THIS was going to happen I would have eaten that beauty earlier, damn it.

If I am not mistaken in the basement of this castle have some preserved foods, man, I hate vegetables and greens, but it is what I have for today, why tomorrow ... Tomorrow they will see, hang on there Miranda, dad is coming, and she is very pissed!

"Mr Speenceeeeer ..."

Glup, and a little scared, but I'm going, hang on dear!!!

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------- // ------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

I raise the morning sun admiring the beauty that only my sun can show, and of course the pair of wings behind me reveals my sister, although it does not seem, she is upset.

"Did you find him?"

"I don't know, I mean I saw his dream door, but ... He didn't dream."

"And when did that stop you?"

"No, you didn’t understand sister, I couldn’t get in not because he didn’t dream, but because he was drunk!"

"Drunk? Ahh yes, Drunk's can't even dream or something like that right?"

"Yes, what if ... It wasn't a coincidence?"

"How would he know? This is not in any book that I know Luna, and I read all the books published in the kingdom."

"Don't act like a fool Celestia, he had his horn, he's not just anybody, did you see that suitcase ?! There were so many, not to mention the feathers and threads, maybe he's a bounty hunter or something."

I couldn't help but laugh "a bounty hunter killed me? Luna, how soft do you think I am?"

Her look, my little sister, was so cute, "I would never judge you like that, but ... I'm scared celestia, did you see it? In that suitcase, down there was ... Was ..."

Sigh, she was right, "yes ... We have a problem with our hands, has Discordia already answered the letters?"

"No, but he still gets the letters, damn it, if he were here it would be so much easier."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After removing everyone from the room, only my sister, Cadence and Crepusculo and I were in the room, and in front of us was a suitcase, and in it there were several things that seemed to have come out of a horror movie, the feathers were at least, strange , there are pegasus that collect feathers, but it is a little practiced hobby and it is almost a taboos, the mane threads were, well threads, if they do not have a cutie mark drawing underneath I could even confuse them with normal fabric threads, and that one yellow thread with a cutie mark apple ... Twilight did not take it well, and even went out to get some air, however ... What scared me the most, which makes my heart freeze with fear, which made Cadence tremble and Luna sweat cold was that crooked blue horn and the caribou horn together, that pair of horns ... They were ... They were ...

"Discord..."

"Twilight? When did you come back?"

"He, he killed Discord ?!"

"Calm down Twilight, may not be him!"

"IT'S LITERALLY WRITTEN HIS NAME OVER THERE !!!"

She was right, there was no denying it, Discord died... Whatever that thing is, it’s out there, and we have to find it immediately!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That memory still sends a chill down my spine, it killed Discord... It killed me... How many more? Luna? Cadence? I hope not.

With a heavy breath I prepare for the day, many nobles, banal problems, and embarrassing situations await me ... Is it too much to ask for a day off? A day without a monster threatening my kingdom ... (sigh) the burdens of being a princess.

"What face is this sister? Worried about the monster?"

"A little bit, what about the dragon?"

"She tried to leave a few times, but the bubble prevented it, I increased the guard and dismissed candence, she spoke to the dragon for a while, now she is locked in her room and doesn’t leave, I tried to talk to her but... Well , if you want to try."

I nod and see my sister go to her tower, I will take an hour of my time to see her, now, the court awaits me...

Heavens when the court got so annoying? I think I've been really stressed out lately, well, Cadence.

This very pretty door, decorated with blue crystals and hearts, her old room... For her to enter here... What did that dragon say to her?

"Cadence? Can I come in?"

"Yea."

"What? Speak louder please."

"Yes Celestia, you can come in."

I hear the lock opening and revealing an old pink room, with several countertops and mane brushes, and a small bed where an alicornio resided.

"How are you, Cadence? Luna told me that you talked to the dragon and--"

"Dragoness."

"What?"

"She prefers to be called that, or Miranda."

"I understand, well, I think I was very clear when I said that I didn't want anyone talking to her until tonight."

"I know auntie, it's just that, it was the Crystal Heart! How should I act? What do you think Twilight would do if it were the element of magic?"

She has a point, but two mistakes don't make a right, "what did she tell you? I need to know."

"She ... She knows a lot of things aunt, she knows about Sombra, she knows where Chrysalis is! But at the same time, she doesn't seem to know anything, she says we were supposed to be dead ..."

"Who?"

"All of us! You, me, Luna ... Until... UNTIL MY BABY !!!"

And with that she cries, leaning on me, heaven ... Even a baby, they have to be stopped, I will advance the interrogation, I send a spell warning my assistant to postpone all the day's appointments, Blueblood will go crazy , but I have to have priorities, and now my priority is Cadence!

It is now, I am in a cell, in the lowest cell in Canterlot, in front of me this copy, this Crystal Heart, and inside it, a drag--- dragoness, on my side is my sister and twilight, I dismissed Cadence, it is she better stay in the Crystal Empire for now.

"Are you there?"

Laughter sounds from the heart "nope, nobody here!"

Heaven, what am i looking at? A child? "Enough tricks and jokes, I want to talk to you."

"Then talk, I have nowhere to go."

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Don't play idiot Celestia, you know the answer to both questions."

"How would i know your name?"

"Cadence."

She is smart, very smart, how to proceed ... For so many years that I have not dealt with horn users, dangerous and cunning beings, "who was your partner ---"

"WAS YOUR THAT BEAST WITHOUT HAIR !!!

Luna, have tact.

"What? DAMIAN! Where is he! What have you done to him!"

I can feel the crystal heart fluttering, she is trying to get out, while Luna holds the spell, it will not happen.

"Calm down Miranda, I guarantee I didn't hurt Damian, I just want to understand the situation better."

"Really? So let me out, it's so boring to talk from the heart."

"Boring? It was you who came in there, silly dragon!"

"Ahhh Luna, creator of the nights, really, a beautiful spell, has a flaw here and there, but a beautiful spell!"

"Ah! Failure? My spells have no failures!"

"You say princess."

This conversation is going nowhere "Twilight my faithful stude--- friend, didn't you have any questions for this dragoness?"

Almost as if awakening from a trance, Twlilight stops writing on that notebook and clarifies her voice, "ok ahmmm, hmmm so ... You, no ... Maybe ... How old are you?"

(laughs) really? Is this the big question? Sometimes I forget what my ex student is like.

"Ahah ... Ahahahahhaahahahhahahahaha !!!"

It took me by surprise, I even felt my wings flexing by reflex. "Seriously ... Of all the questions i expected to hear from the infamous Twilight Sparkle, the last thing i thought would be this, ahahah, Jesus ..."

"This Jesus, is another horn user!?"

"What? No, no, he is ... He is a good man, that's all."

"Dragon?"

"No, human."

"Human? Like your partner?"

"Precisely."

"And what does this good man think of horn thieves?"

"Ahah ... You never cease to surprise me, he ... I think he wouldn't like us very much."

"And still call out his name, can I know why?"

"Why do you say Celestia name sometimes?"

"I understand, so he is a deity ... Hmmm ..."

It's amazing to see how twilight manages to ask questions while writing another question, we could certainly take away a lot of important facts if we leave them alone, now you see, then we have another deity in their world, this can get complicated and is escalating to a war too fast .

"Ok ... I see, going back to the original question, how old are you?"

"I'm almost seven."

"Seven ?! What do you mean seven ?! Seven thousand!?"

"No, seven, you know, like ponies, I'm almost seven."

"I'm pretty sure that you looked older than seven years."

"Swear? How old would, Sparkle, give me?"

For some reason, I felt a hint of poison in her voice, I wonder why ...

"Hmmmm, considering what I know about the biology of sapphire dragons? Between 40 and 120."

"ONE HUNDRED TWENTY YEARS !!! I WILL KILL YOU YOUR DIRTY BITCH---"

"ENOUGH OF THESE LOW WORDS MIRANDA, let us have decency here." I hate to have to use Canterlot's real voice, but I thought it was necessary, I have to remember to talk to Twilight after this interrogation.

"You have a little acid vocabulary for a child."

"Uff ... Next question Sparkle ..."

"Sorry but why this explosion? I'm almost sure that your appearance fits the proposed age."

"Sparkle, how old would you give that dragon baby?"

"Spike? He's fourteen."

"What? No jokes please."

"I'm not kidding, I grew up with him and I'm seven years older than him, Spike is fourteen years old."

"My god... What---"

"Who is this god? Jesus?"

"What? No, it's his father and --- look, that dragon baby can't be fourteen! He would be twice my age!"

"I can guarantee that this is his age, Miss Miranda, by the way, is a very peculiar name for a dragon, isn't it?"

"Isn't spike a flower that smells right?"

"I see, was it Damian who gave you that name?"

A yep was all we got, twilight looked in his notebook, pondering which question to ask now, seriously, two deities, this could end up really bad, damn Discord where are you?

"How many of you are out there?"

"Be more specific miss interrogation"

"Ok ... You know, horn users."

"Well ... This is a difficult question, I don't really like to use horns, I prefer to solve the things in the claw, you know? But if I have to kick ... Maybe ... Maybe a hundred, yes, something like that, at least it was like that two years ago. "

ONE HUNDRED USERS OF HORNS, my Faust, the situation got out of control, heaven ... How many dead, I can feel the sadness invade my heart, why, why my counterpart was so weak! And those deities! "AND THESE DEITIES DID NOTHING TO STOP THIS INSANITY"

"God, look at the tone Celestia, it will hurt your little princesses' ears."

"ANSWER!!!"

"Hemmm ... Jesus is a radical passifist, and God, from what Damian told me, he took a vacation of about two thousand years."

A deity that doesn't fight and another lazy and probably dead, my Faust, think Celestia, ok, maybe that doesn't lead to war, but, a hundred horn users are too many, I can see twilight preparing another question, but Luna interrupts it.

"Tell me, dragoness, where do you think you are?"

"Oh I don't think, I know, cell number 560 of canterlot, the darkest cell in this castle."

"Don't talk nonsense, the cells only go up to five hundre---"

"You better not play dumb, I'm talking about the secret cells, the cell of the worst of the worst, and it goes up to six hundred."

"HOW YOU--"

"Shhhhh ... Calm luna, it doesn't have to be like this, I like it here, it's calm and everything, the problem is the spiders, but other than that it's a really cool place."

"Cool? Here are trapped the worst beings that ever dared to step on Equestria, beings tha---"

"Bla-bla-bla I know, believe, and about the prisoners, we let them go!"

What? I think I heard wrong, it seems that she said she released all the prisoners of the lower level, I clean my ear slightly and I beg her: "Sorry, you said you released who?"

"Duhh! The prisoners."

"WHY DID YOU MAKE SUCH BARBARIANITY !?"

"It looked cool at the time, I think, and Damian just wouldn't feed them, so you know, he added the useful to the nice."

"Wait ... Are you telling me that you invaded the palace, passed the guards, entered the dungeon, and found the passage to the lower floors just to release them?!?!"

"No, I didn't even know Damian at the time, he just killed you and took canterlot for him."

That was it, I was in shock, Luna too and twilight seemed a few shades more green, she just said that he killed me in the greatest tranquility possible!

"What happened princess? Did the cat eat your tongue? God how did i want to meet you, but you know, you are not all that, unless you have flames in your eyes, that was cool, i mean, it would have been if that anger didn't was for me. "

"Can you answer me one more question ..."

"Say it."

"Discord, how?"

"I don't know, it was Damian who killed the god of chaos, in fact it was he who killed almost all the big fish, I arrived too late at the party."

"So... Is he dead?"

"Did I speak Portuguese? Obviously he is."

That's what I wanted to hear, I have to find Discord now! I turn around and start to leave, "come on, we're done for today!"

"What? Now that the conversation was getting good!"

"Princess, I can stay here, I have a few more questions."

"NO, don't leave me with the miss interrogation please!"

I look quickly at Luna, her slight nod was the answer, "ok Twilight, but follow the safety instructions ok?"

"Yes Princess!"

"Noooooo!"

It was staggering monumentally, someone. Killed. Discord! I know that Luna realized my concerns, she always does, as I wish I could read her as well as she reads me.

"Sister, I know your heart is full of anguish, but we will go through this together!"

"I know Luna, it's just that, of all the threats that hit Equestria, how many of them, Discord could end with a claw crack?"

"Hmm, there was--"

"The one with the Tirek is not worth it, of course."

"I ... All i think."

"That's why! Discord is very powerful, even turned into stone it was still impossible to kill him, and that's what scares me, not that he kills me, or heaven! Kills you! But killing Discord! Is unprecedented!"

"I understand, but let's g----"

In all my years of life, few times have I seen luna widen her eyes like that, but that look accompanies one thing, problem, big problem!

"What happened sister? HE IS HERE?!"

"The spell ... It's gone ..."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Twilight... no!!!"
