Sentinel of the Everfree
Chapter 2.5 (Rewrite)
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“When I agreed to help you again I did not think you would want me to help enforce and give credit to her delusions. What we are doing is wrong, we should be getting her help.” Turning to her sister Celestia sighs. The floating portal leading to Gaia’s dream gradually shrinks as the two sisters walk along the floor of the dream realm.
“We are getting her help Lulu, but I can’t just throw her at a therapist right away. As much as I hate to say it, they are just as much of a danger to themselves right now as they are anypony else. I cannot in good conscience put anypony in such a dangerous position.” Luna groans in exasperation.
“Tia.” Celestia manages a weak chuckle when she hears the blatant anger in Luna’s voice.
“Please don’t start Luna. I’m not blind, but I am trying my best. Would you rather I wake her up and then lock her in a room with a terrified psychiatrist? How much can we help her if the ponies that are specialized to care for patients with such trama are too scared to be in the same room as her?” Both sisters stop in front of another dream portal. The edges of the sphere shimmer and distort at random until Luna lights her horn and gently touches it to the edge of the sphere. Almost instantly the sphere settles and Luna sighs while turning to look at her sister.
“I know sister I just… I wish there was a better way to make things right. I just feel as though I should be walking away from our old friend's dream while cackling madly. This is the same thing I used to do while possessed by the parasite that made me turn against you. I would dive into the dreams of the innocent and either corrupt them or fill them with so many lies they would simply go insane.” Wrapping a wing over her sister's back Celestia pulls Luna tightly into her side.
“That wasn’t your fault Lulu, you know that. What happened to you was horrible, what the elements did to punish us both even more so… But we are together again. It didn’t seem right then, but it led us back to one another in the end. We are helping Fenrir. I promise.”
