The Home That You Made

Fayth was slowly floating through the timeverse, as Spark and her allies didn't know she'd been hiding out here. She healed her arm and needed a place to rest. She could see the dead universe. She entered it and saw a dead planet. She landed in the ruin of a shrine. She sat down, not caring where she would rest.

As she rested, she could hear something. She raised her hand, making her book to pull whatever was hiding in the dead bush. She was shocked to see a naked black anthro filly unicorn. She set the child down and went to rest. The child ran away, keeping her distance but still watching her.

When Fayth woke up and looked down, she saw painted rocks. She picked one up, looked at it, tossed it away, and went back to sleep.

She opened her eyes and saw another weird gift—a drawn picture of her. She knew the child was doing this, but she didn't care. She went back to sleep.

She woke up again, seeing more gifts...

This went on for days...until one day, Fayth opened her eyes and saw nothing. She stood up and searched for the child. She could see the ruined shrine and sense something deep below it. She entered it and went down the stairs. She soon found the bedrooms of dead children. She saw the black unicorn filly holding a dead and burned cyan Pegasus. Fayth got closer and could tell the filly was dying from hunger and seemed to want to die next to this Pegasus.

The filly opened her eyes and was shocked to see food before her. She could see Fayth sitting far from her, sleeping. The filly picked up an apple and placed it on Fayth's lap. Fayth opened her eyes and glared at her...but smiled, seeing the filly glaring back at her with dark rage, like she was trying to match her dark aura to hers.

"You are...strong," Fayth whispered.

She could see the filly smiling.

Fayth opened her eyes and could feel the cold air. She looked down, seeing the filly shaking with cold. Fayth wondered why the filly hadn't used her cloak as a blanket.

"Too stubborn..."

Fayth picked up the filly and wrapped her up, keeping her warm.

The filly opened her eyes and yawned. She rubbed her eyes but noticed the cloak around her body. She became mad and tried to toss it off.

"Hey, stop being a brat and put it on!" snapped Fayth, who was behind her, holding food for her.

The filly looked up, glaring at her, trying to be as scary as her.

"No. It's yours. You can have it."

Fayth huffed, not caring. She sat down and set the food in front of her.

"What's your name?"

The child said nothing but stared at the food.

"No name? Fine, I'll call you Void NightShade."

Void kept glaring. Fayth could see the child's eyes turning red and her horn glowing.

"I'll give you the chance to leave me alone and let you live," Void warned.

Fayth pulled the filly's ear, making it cry. She then placed her on her lap, grabbed an apple, and force-fed her.

"If you want to be a real threat, then you need to be stronger than that! Come with me, and I'll help you become powerful enough to take what you want!"

Void looked up, curious.

"Become powerful? Like you?"

Fayth shrugged. "If you keep at it, then yeah. Sure, I guess."

"Promise?"

"Yeah. Yeah. Promise."

Void became excited, but her anger returned. She pushed the food away, "Then don't feed me! I'm not some foal!" void did cute mad laughter, making Fayth...smile.

A few months later

Fayth fully recovered and was about to head out, but she turned to her filly, wrapped up in the black cloak she gave her.

"Ready to leave?"

Void nodded, rushing to her side. She eyed Fayth's hand, wanting to hold it. But she didn't need to think about it anymore as Fayth grabbed her hand and took off with her.

Void was amazed by Fayth's ability to fly and soon leave the universe. She turned to her, smiling with a blush.
"I want to be like you, strong!" she blushed even more as she whispered something.

"...mother."

Fayth looked at her, sensing the opposite of a spark.
