Already A Problem

This’ll be the first entry in a while. I was never planning to leave the guard once I joined but I did then I never planned to make contact with them again but I did then I swore up and down that I would never rejoin now here I am a member of the guard again. I don’t have my own group anymore. I'm part of Shinings but that's ok I wasn’t a great guy anyways. I want to end my brother's reign in a way that won’t get anyone hurt but it’s not easy, ponies will get hurt and ponies will die. I won’t let their death be in vain.

“Twilight leave me alone!”

“I only want to help flash!” I heard yelling as I walked in with Blue and Shining Shield laid across his back

“Is this a common occurrence?”

“Yeah they stop in a minute or two, they're like an old couple.”

“You know I can't rebuild your wing, only Celestia can and you won’t ask her!” I heard Twilight's voice echo through the halls.

“Nice to see Twilight and Flash are still friends.”

“Far from it I feel.” More yelling ensued from the two.

“I haven’t even been in the castle for 5 minutes and I'm already regretting it. Come with me Blue, you'll be better at explaining what’s happening.” Finding where they were was easy; making them understand what was about to happen is another thing entirely.

“I can fix your wing but you both better shut up when I'm done.”

“That’s one way to say it.”

“Shadow?”

“Yes and I'd like to sleep for the first time in a while but I can't do it while you're bickering.”

“Go away, you screwed us over in the end and that’s not what a guard does.”

“Flash if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t be here today you and twilight wouldn’t be at each other's throats for no good reason.”

“Shut up Blue, you don’t know what happened!” I got in Flash’s face. I did screw them over but Blue had nothing to do with it. Flash wasn’t ever afraid of me but I think my changed appearance made him nervous.

“And no good guard will yell at another for no good reason. He may be lower than you in the ranks but he deserves the same amount of respect as you do and I'm not seeing it coming from you right now.” Flash stood up pinning me to the wall on our left causing my prosthetic to fall off. Twilight’s jaw dropped and Flash visibly got weak at the sight.

“You screwed us over, you got countless ponies killed because you decided to fight your brother now he’s had it out for us”

“You don’t understand Flash! You and Shining ever understood! I cared too much to let the guard get mangled by him. He doesn't go after any one target, he goes after everyone starting with those who have the most power!”

“You’re right I don't understand because so far that doesn’t pertain to us.”

“If I stayed he would have killed you all just because. Me leaving only had him trying to hold you back!” I pushed him away.

“It’s because of you I can’t fly, they wanted to kick me out of the guard Shadow!”

“You’re not the only one that was hurt by my brother.” Dropping my jacket so my back was visible when my brother threw me to the ground my wings were destroyed and they had to be removed.

“I lost parts of me Flash, I lost guards and I lost my son!”

“You had a son?”

“The quiet one that was covered for Chase when I quit.”

“Dark Winds?”

“Yeah he joined before I did, matter of fact he joined as soon as he could.”

“That’s why he moved to your group when you arrived.”

“My Brother killed my son with his bare hooves the same way he hurt Shield.” Flash grit his teeth.

“Shield’s a good kid and Winds was a good kid too. I’ll be next to you the whole time as we fight your brother because I’ll be damned if I let you go after your brother alone." He gave me a hug. This is something that caught me off guard as he never did this to anypony.

“I didn’t want to leave but I was taken captive by my brother. All communication with the guard was done in a way so he didn't know.”

“You’re safe here.”

“My safety, I don't care about. It’s your guy's safety.”

“You matter too.”

“Can you do me a favor Flash?”

“Sure Shadow.”

“Will you shut up if I fix your wing?”

“I will but you don’t need to fix it. I can't ask that of you.”

“You never did ask that’s why I'm now telling you that I'm doing it.”

“Go fix your own, not mine.”

“If I wanted to fix mine I would've a long time ago but I don't care. I could fix everything that’s wrong with me but I don't care.”

“How can you do it with a broken horn?”

“Simple, I'll fix it.” after saying that i just built it back up. Magic comes out of the horn which means that you can rebuild the horn using any regular healing spell.

“What the buck?”

“Yeah don’t move too much.”

“I fixed your eye; that was a freebie.”

“Wow this is what sight is like?”

“How long have you not been able to see out of that eye?”

“Too long.”

“Twilight, don't tell Spike I was here tonight, I want to surprise him.”

“He won’t be surprised, he'll just be mad. You seriously hurt him. He liked you even though you didn’t think so.”

“Is he awake?”

“Yeah he stays up late most nights but he’ll go to bed at some point.”

“I should go see him then.”

“Get to sleep first, talk to him in the morning.”

“Well I have to talk to Luna first.”

“She already knows you’re here, don't worry about it.”

“Yeah, you're right.” i headed to shinings barracks hoping he had an extra bed.

“Shining. Do you have an extra bed?”

“Yeah, next to Shield on the other side.”

“How is he doing?

“He’s awake, go ask.” I turned around as he grit his teeth and grabbed his head.

“Still in pain.”

“Yep.”

“He’ll get better, I promise.”

“He’s not getting better fast enough.”

“No one ever gets better fast enough. Be happy knowing that this will go away and he’ll be back to normal.”

“Yeah sure.” I let out a sigh and walked over to Shield

“So you’re Shield, it's nice to finally meet you.”

“That’s the same thing Rusty said.”

“Don’t let him get into your head, kid.”

“Easier said than done.”

“Isn’t everything? He’s a piece of crap but anything can be beat.”

“How is your brother ok with what he does?”

“He doesn’t feel the way we do his emotions are twisted things we find sad and hateful he finds happy and exciting.”

“He needs help.”

“He’s past the point of helping.”

“Hah.”

“Do you need anything?”

“Yeah, my pain to go away.”

“Give it time. Does it hurt when touched?”

“No it just happens.”

“Ease up, I won't hurt you.” reluctantly he relaxed slightly uncovering the scar on his chest

“Damn kid I didn’t know all he did to you but this is bad.” I looked at it closer causing him to tense up again. I looked up at shining who was standing across the room he lifted a hoof and slowly lowered telling me to take it slow

“My brother has no scars; he's never been brave enough to get any. You are brave enough to go against him head on.” I usually keep my scars covered as they make others scared of me and this was one of those times where I felt having them covered was a good idea.

“You’re certainly one to talk to, you've clearly never seen one.” Shining snorted

“You might as well show him Shadow he won’t believe a word you say otherwise.” I unhid my scars his eyes went wide and he jolted away

“I wasn’t showing them as I didn't want to scare you but I've seen my fair share of damage. Scars don't mean you're weak, they mean you fight hard and don’t give up.”

“Your wings.”

“Yeah, that was my brother. He didn’t hurt yours, did he?”

“No mine are fine.”

“Good, not to say I didn’t care about what he’s done before but when I heard what happened to you it reminded me of… uh nevermind.” I rubbed my eyes trying to push the memory back.

“Pushing back what haunts you doesn’t help

“When we went out to fit one time against changelings my son got hurt. I had the group go ahead and get back while I tended to his injuries. At some point I was knocked out and my brother had us tied to chairs looking for my journal. My son was persuasion for him to get the journal. I finally gave him the journal on the agreement he would leave us alone and not hurt my son. He betrayed the agreement and killed my son right there right as I gave him the journal. You remind me of my son and I won't let you die.” I got up and walked over to Shining

“I realize I just dumped a lot on him. I didn't mean to do that.”

“It’s ok, he asked. Besides, he likes to try and make others feel better. That was his way for you.” I went to the bed on the other side of Shield where Shining said I could sleep and crashed Well until I heard something. Sitting up I saw figure so I got up

“Hey kid you alright?” I didn't hear anything but i think it shook its head so i got up

“Where are you hurt?” there was no response but it sounded like there was a gurgle.

“Let’s get into the light.” I helped the figure out into the light it was Blue and he grasped his neck with all his strength

“Oh shit kid hang in there. Nevermind.” I scooped him onto my back and ran as fast as I could to Doc’s.

“Just hang in there kid.” not having wings made it much harder to hold onto him but i managed to get him there without dropping him.

“Doc! This is an emergency!”

““It better be a damn good one! Oh crap where did you take him that got him this hurt!”

“I didn’t take him anywhere. It was in the barracks.”

“Yeah sure! Get him in here!”

“Whatever it is got him in the throat, real good Doc.”

“Clearly! Was it Aboori?”

“I don't know it was gone by the time I saw him.”

“He won’t talk again ever.” I looked at Doc.

“They’ll kick him out of the guard for this.”

“It would be for the best. He can’t call for help without a voice.”

“How can I help?”

“By getting out!”

“You can hate me for the rest of eternity but I can't try and fix my mistakes if you won’t allow it.” I walked out slamming the door behind me.

“Shadow!”

“What!”

“If you want to help get in here!” walking back I opened the door and peeked in.

“Wash your hooves and grab the morphine.”

“On it.” I washed up and grabbed the stuff. He injected a small amount of morphine to the side of the injury.

“In the drawer behind me you’ll find a bag labeled breathing tube, grab it and open it.” I did what he said, sliding behind him and grabbing the bag.

“What do I do with it?”

“His airway is closed, that needs to go in it or he won't be able to breathe.”

“Uh… ok… how?” he opened Blue’s mouth which was stained red.

“It goes in there. Hurry up or he’s going to die.” I followed his instructions doing my best to get the tube where it belonged. It sort of fell into place and when it did it started a low whistle.

“There he can breathe now. All we have to do is get this covered and protected and clean him up.” me and doc made quick work of the job after that doc did so paperwork and went to bed. I stayed in the room with Blue as he slept only getting up when he woke up.

“You alright? Nevermind you can’t talk. You’ll be ok, just relax, try to go back to sleep.” He squirmed in the bed trying to get comfortable. His breathing was heavy and labored. I put a hoof on him and he calmed down.

“Relax Blue, get rest you need it.” something closely resembling whine came out of him, his face changing to helplessness and fear.

“I’m not leaving. I've been here the whole time and I'll be here until morning when doc comes in.” He eased up and closed his eyes. I stood there with my hoof still on him until his breathing slowed then I sat back down for the night.

“Shadow.” I raised my head, the events of the night clearly showing in my face.

“Huh?”

“Did you get any sleep last night?” it was Doc. I rubbed my eyes.

“Yeah I slept.”

“Did he wake up at all?”

“Yeah once. He just couldn’t get comfortable.”

“That’s understandable.” We both looked up at him and he slept peacefully I thought. The tubes and sensors everywhere leading off of him to various things.

“Shining requested you. I’ll take care of things here.”

“Thanks doc.” I headed back to the barracks. There were only a few ponies in the small lobby. Two I've never seen and Rainbow Dash.

“Shining, you wanted to see me.”

“The events last night.”

“Don’t ask, I don't know, I woke up only to see he was hurt and that was it.”

“I believe you. How is he?”

“Can’t talk, his throat was crushed.”

“That’s what doc said. Luna knows and so does Celestia; they're thinking about having him put on medical leave.”

“They’re booting him?”

“Thinking about it.”

“I won’t let that happen.”

“I told them the same thing but I don't have any say in it.”

“My ass!”

“What’s wrong with your ass?” I whipped around being met with Celestia and Luna.

“Before I say anything, did you guys make a decision?” I had to stay calm to ask this question or they wouldn’t give an answer, something I didn't want to do but had to do.

“He’s being put on medical leave.”Luna said. Her face said she felt bad.

“What does that mean Luna?”

“We’re basically retiring him early.”

“I don’t get mad easily but I won't stand for this.”

“It’s for the best Shadow.”

“He may not be able to talk but that doesn’t mean he’s unfit. Look at me, how am I fit to do the job?”

“He can’t call for help, Shadow.” Celestia said, her voice carrying a heated tone.

“You know I keep my promises and I made a promise to that kid. I won’t let it break because you don’t know the difference between unfit and disabled.”

“Fine, then I'll put you on medical leave too!”

“Oh so I’m not a guard anymore! Fine then works for me! Have fun with my brother cause I'm just gonna watch and laugh!”

“Celestia hold on now you know we need him he can’t defeat his brother on his own what makes you think we can on our own. He knows his brother and how he fights. With all of us we can defeat him.”

“It’s too late to try and make her back out Luna. I won't fight for a stuck up princess!” I walked out of the barracks.

“What about your promise to Shield?”

“What is this Celestia? What do you want from me! You want me gone, I'll go but I won’t stay for someone who will use my words against me!”

“I want somepony who keeps their promises and knows what is best for those around them!” speaking in an ancient tongue that i wasn’t sure either of them understood i said

“The old may be wiser than the young but the young always know how to handle the modern day.” her eyes widened she went to say something but was stopped by Luna

“It’s not worth it don’t. Shadow stay we will reconsider our choice and allow others into the matter but it won’t be you or shining. We already know your opinions on the matter.”

“Your choice will determine if I stay when this is all over.” i left but i heard hooves coming closer from behind me

“Shadow wait!”

“Shining, do they still sell alcohol?”

“I’m not letting you get blackout drunk at 9am.”

“I’m not going to do that.”

“Promise?”

“Yes. you should get one with me.”

“I can't, I promised Cadence I’d drink less.”

“When was the last time you drank?”

“Our anniversary 3 weeks ago.”

“Oh! Happy late anniversary. Come on, you're getting one with me.”

“Fine but only one!”

“Works with me i'm only getting one, but I get to pick.”

“The bartender is the same as before you left. I doubt he’ll remember you though.” We made our way over to this small restaurant. Nothing much, just a hole in the wall really. It was a brick building with a solid wooden door that I’m sure nothing could get through when it was locked.

“Shadow?”

“Flask! How have you been?”

“Great, how about yourself?”

“Eh, staying vertical really.” his eyes locked onto something behind me.

“Something wrong?”

“That looks like Govend.” I turned around to see a griffon looking aimlessly in the courtyard.

“Too skinny.”

“Oh well, what can I get you?”

“Do you still remember my Special?”

“Yep, and you’ll find this cool.” he handed me one of the menus flipping it over to the back he pointed out a drink called The Shadow with a description of ‘smooth and deadly.’

“That’s cool, I like it.”

“What are you getting Shining?”

“Shadow’s picking for me.” I shot Flask a look and he nodded.

“You have fun with this Shining.” he handed him one shot glass only half full.

“This is it? Shadow are you making fun of me?”

“Nope.” I said as I took a drink from my normal sized glass trying not to laugh.

“Yeah, ok sure.” he picked up the drink and downed it quickly.

“Holy Buck what is this?”

“Dead head.” I said it’s a really fun drink.

“I wish I was dead.” He hacked and coughed. I thought he was going to puke.

“What’s in it?”

“I don’t know its Flask’s secret.”

“Shadow?” I turned around to see a copper colored pony right behind.

“Yes?”

“Oh you’re both here Blue wanted to talk to both of you.”

“He’s talking?”

“Hmm.. write to both of you.”

“Oh that makes sense. Who are you?”

“He’s Copper Blade, pretty sturdy, and can get just about any job done.” Shining rather proudly stated.

“Oh nice to meet you Copper.” With this information I eagerly headed to Blue

“You’re eager to do something.” I didn't realize it but a different pony was walking with me.

“Raider leave the poor guy alone.” Shining stated flatly

“So you're Raider?”

“Yep, I’ve had that name my whole life although Sky Raider is my full name.”

“Keep those wings protected. A lot of things out there want to take them.” I wiggled my wing stubs directing his attention to them.

“You lost your’s. How?”

“My brother happened.”

“I’m sorry.” he slowed down and followed me now, keeping silent.

“Shadow, I think you broke him.”

“What do you mean Copper?”

“Normally he doesn’t shut up. He always has questions.”

“He’ll be alright.” We made it into Doc’s office and I saw Rainbow Dash as she was walking out of Blue’s room. Well that was until she bolted. I tried to stop her but decided not to. Copper on the other hand had all intentions to stop her. Sticking a hoof out she ran into it with a snap.

“Copper are you ok?”

“No!” I took a few steps towards him and leaned down. Rainbow Dash had stopped to see what happened.

“I-I-I’m sorry I-I wasn't trying t-to hurt anyone.” Giving Doc room to see Copper I got up and walked over to Dash.

“It’s ok he got in your way.”

“I-I-I-” I wrapped her in a hug.

“What happened there?”

“I-It’s j-just-”

“Calm down, it's ok no pony’s mad at you.” She took a deep breath and wiped her eyes.

“It’s just he’s so uncomfortable and there’s nothing I can do!”

“I understand but it’s only for a little bit. He’ll be better and ready to go soon enough.”

“He can’t even close his mouth.”

“Yeah that sucks. All we can do is make him comfortable.”

“I guess. Oh my!” I stepped back startled.

“What is it?”

“Your wings… they're gone!”

“That’s not all that was taken from me but I don’t think you want to see the other thing.”

“What is it?” I shook my back leg causing the prosthetic to fall off

“Shadow! Why don’t you go to Celestia?”

“We don’t get along. I won't ask her for anything.”

“What about Luna could she do it?”

“I’ve never asked and I don't much care to.”

“Why?”

“You won’t understand and I don't want to talk about it. Blue wanted to see me so I should go.”

“If you ever just want to talk, I'm around.” I said thanks and made my way to Blue’s room. They had gotten Copper up and Doc was wrapping his arm in a cast. I knocked on the door to the room before peeking my head in.

“How ya doin?” his head moved a little but it was held in place by the breathing tube.

“Making it.”

“I wish I could’ve helped you more.”

“Are you planning on walking in?”

“You want me to?” I wasn't going to walk in. I didn't feel right about coming in. I knew I caused his pain and I didn't deserve to be in there anymore than I had to.

“Yeah, I'm not mad at you.”

“I didn’t want to. I brought all of this on you guys.”

“Your brother brought it on us.”

“Yeah I know but I had the chance to stop it and I didn’t.” i sat down in one of the chairs and buried my face in my Hooves

“Whatever you’re thinking isn’t a good idea.” He was right I had come up with an idea but it was one that at most would weaken my brother to the point where the guard could finish him but I would certainly die in the process.

“But it may be the only good one!” I got up and made my way towards the door. I wanted to tell Luna before it slipped my mind. As i reached for the door I heard a pained squeak.

“Why kid?” I turned around to look at him. He tried to say something else struggling to get anything together and make noise

“Stop, stop, stop, stop! You’re going to hurt yourself worse than you already are.” I picked up the pad and handed it to him

“Use this kid, save your voice, let it heal. I know that hurt throw something, don't hurt yourself. I’ll go get Doc to see if he can help you out here.” He rushed to write on the pad so I waited to move.

“What happened between you and Doc the day you came back?”

“It’s too long of a story for right now. Ask when you’re not hurt.” He started to rush yet another question.

“Slow down kid. Look, I have to go try and talk to Luna to get some rest. I'll be back later.” tears welled up in his eyes. I knew he was uncomfortable, his mouth opened and closed on the tube as he tried to get comfortable.

“I wish it was me, you don’t deserve this.” tears rolled down his face.

“Are you in more pain than you were when I walked in?” he shook his head yes bringing his hoof to his throat when it made contact with the bandages he flipped. He bit down on the tube and his body jumped in the bed.

“Whoa! Whoa! Take it easy.” I ran over to the bedside. He had calmed down but he still squeezed his eyes shut, biting the tube hard and breathing heavily.

“Ease up, kid ease up. The pain will subside soon and you’ll be good again.” I rested a hoof on his chest making him flinch. I never spent any time around kids much less around Blue. I had only really just met him.

“I don’t know how to help Blue, you need to tell me what to do.” he coughed, it sounded strained it seemed to stop before it should have when it started happening more I grew overwhelmingly concerned.

“Breathe slow deep breaths.” doing his best to follow suit he took a deep breath it sounded like he was sucking on an empty drink through a straw. A cough the tube now speckled red on the inside.

“Deep slow breaths Blue I’ll be right back I promise.” I walked out calmly so as not to scare him anymore than he already was. Shutting the door behind me I picked up the pace to tell Doc.

“What is it now, Shadow?”

“Come look for yourself it's not ok.” I walked back to the room opening the door for Doc he saw and ran in. Blue was able to keep up with the slow breathing which was good.

“You're going to need to remove the tube, it's no good anymore.”

“While he’s awake.”

“It’s the only option.” Against what I thought was right I started to remove the thing but Blue bit down on it keeping me from doing anything.

“Blue, we're trying to help you. You have to let us work.” Doc was growing both worried and frustrated.

“Blue, look at me, you need to look at me.” He opened his eyes. I've never seen so much pain and fear in one pony. The tears streamed down his face as he looked at me.

“I’m trying to help you but I can't if you bite down on it.”

“Don’t do anything, I'll get help.” he opened the door to the room but no pony was there.

“Nevermind I guess.”

“You have to let me do this, Blue, we're trying to save you.” slowly he opened his mouth

“You're going to have to just pull it out, don't be slow with it he’ll only latch down on it again.” I followed Doc's orders pulling it out in one semi-smooth motion. He kicked hard, gritting his teeth. He rolled over away from us and curled up into a ball. Well as close to one as he could.

“I’ve never had a case like this. That thing was so old I never thought I'd use it. You can throw it out over there.” I tossed it in the can on the other side of the room.

“This is horrible. There has to be a better way to do this next time.”

“Next time I’ll have him asleep but next time will be the last time.”

“We have to put another one in?”

“Yeah I’m trying to keep his throat from collapsing on itself.”

“We gotta have him asleep this time.”

“I can only put him to sleep with gas. I don't know if he can breathe without that tube.” I walked over to the other side of the bed. His muzzle was red with blood.

“Blue?” He looked at me, his eyes weren't filled with fear or pain but with anger.

“Can you breathe?” A simple shake of his head was all I needed.

“Apparently he can doc.”

“Ok i’ll make it happen.” We did this process again, this time he was asleep. I feel bad for what I’ve brought on the Guard. I know that thing was my brothers and I eagerly await the day I kill him.

“Twilight?”

“Oh hey shadow looking for Spike?”

“Yeah, have you seen him?”

“He’s asleep in here but you can wake him up, he needs to get up anyways.”

“I’ll let him sleep but you can if you want.”

“It’s fine he’ll wake up here soon I bet.”

“Learn anything in 21 years?” This was the worst mistake of my life. She talked for 3 hours straight.

“Shouldn’t Spike be up by now Twilight?”

“Yeah probably.” she picked up on of the pillows on the bed with her magic and started hitting him with it

“Twilight. Twilight!”

“Are you up yet?”

“Yes I'm up!”

“There’s somepony you should see?” he looked over at us

“Is that Shadow?

“Yeah.”

“So what brings you back?”

“Same thing that brought me back the first time my brother only he’s stronger he’s targeting Shining and his family”

“Twilight too?”

“Yeah her too.”

“As much as I really hate you-”

“Spike!” twilight exclaimed, hitting him with the pillow again.

“No, he's got the right to hate me. I got up and left then came back only to make you guys think I was dead a day later.”

“As I was saying you’ve got my support.”

“It’s nice to know not all is broken between us. I never hated you its just that… the last time I was friends with a dragon I got them killed”

“Um… how?”

“Out hunting we were trapped in a cave by timberwolves. He came up with a distraction plan and ran out. He ran into a river and got swept away never to be seen again.”

“What river?”

“I don’t know, I don't think it ever had a name, it was just some small, very fast moving river.”

“Maybe ten feet wide?”

“Back then it was much smaller, maybe 3 feet wide. A very skinny, very tall tree sat on one side. The thing looked like swiss cheese with the amount of holes in it.” He pulled out a map of Equestria and the surrounding forests. As he opened it I noticed the date and initials of the map maker.

“Wait! Those initials.”

“I don’t know whose they are. I found the map in a wooden box.”

“Where?” opening the map further he pointed to a circle drawn on the map.

“Right here. There wasn’t much left of whatever was around it.”

“The initials are Ash Burns, a cartographer that me and my friend hung out with.”

“Wait, I think I have info on him.” Twilight said while digging through a file drawer.

“I do! Here he has a shop in Ponyville although he’s old as dirt.”

“I should go then he might die tomorrow.”

“Go then.” Spike said as he rolled up the map handing it to me.

“I can’t go on a wild goose chase right now besides he was swept away by a river.”

“Do it for yourself, maybe it’ll help you.”

“I’ll go but I won’t go alone.”

“Have shining go he could use a break.

“That's a good idea. I’ll ask him in the morning. I can't start today.”

“Go get a nap, you look like crap.”

“Thanks Spike.” I shot him a smile and walked out. He was right, I needed sleep and now was the best time.

“Hey Shadow! What are you up to?”

“Nothing much. Gonna try to get some sleep.”

“Did you get to see Blue?”

“Yeah.”

“How is he?” I don’t remember the events that happened after this but Shining seems to be avoiding me and Shield gets really tense when I get near him. The last letter I got from my father read ‘there will be a day when the wheat is separated from the chaff until then you have time, time to determine who is the wheat and who is the chaff. Your best friends are those you find weak and your greatest enemies are those you find strong. Stay strong and make others think they can’t overpower you because as soon as they think they can they will.’ He was right and now my brother has control.
