Title: Eclipsed Truth
Chapter 81: The Battle Against Grogar

Silver Tart Hospitalized—Chrysalis Rushes to His Side

Canterlot buzzed with tension as news spread through the castle—Silver Tart had been critically injured.

Chrysalis burst through the hospital doors, her eyes blazing with worry. She didn’t care if ponies were watching—she stormed past the doctors, heading straight for Silver’s room.

When she entered, she found Silver Tart lying in bed, wrapped in bandages, his wings bruised, and his horn slightly cracked. Despite his rough state, he smirked at her like he always did.

“Hey, gorgeous,” he rasped. “Miss me?”

Chrysalis growled, marching up to him. “You absolute idiot. What happened?!”

Silver chuckled, wincing slightly. “Well… it’s a long story.”

Grogar’s Escape—Silver Tart’s Solo Battle

Silver took a deep breath and began explaining.

Two nights ago, a massive surge of dark magic erupted from Tartarus. Silver had been investigating strange magical disturbances when he discovered the source—

Grogar had escaped.

The ancient Father of Monsters, the one who once terrorized Equestria before even Celestia and Luna’s reign, had returned.

“I didn’t have time to call for backup,” Silver explained. “If I had left to get help, he would’ve had time to unleash his army.”

Chrysalis narrowed her eyes. “So you decided to fight him alone?”

Silver shrugged. “Yeah. And it worked, didn’t it?”

Chrysalis smacked him lightly on the head. “You’re lucky you’re still breathing, you reckless moron.”

Silver grinned. “I mean… yeah, but you love that about me.”

Chrysalis rolled her eyes but didn’t deny it.

How Silver Defeated Grogar

Silver described the battle, his voice serious now.

Grogar was far stronger than expected—his bell amplified his magic, allowing him to summon beasts of pure darkness.

Silver fought for hours, using every ounce of his alicorn strength to hold him back.

“He threw everything at me,” Silver admitted. “Magic, monsters, curses—you name it. But I wasn’t gonna let him win.”

Chrysalis could see the strain in his eyes, the weight of battle still fresh in his mind.

Silver unleashed everything he had, pushing beyond his limits.

The final blow came when he shattered Grogar’s bell with an all-or-nothing magical surge.

“Once his bell was destroyed, his power collapsed,” Silver explained. “I sealed him back in Tartarus myself.”

Chrysalis stared at him. “You sealed Grogar away… alone?”

Silver gave a tired grin. “What can I say? I’m awesome.”

Chrysalis sighed, then did something unexpected—she leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead.

“Never do that again, you reckless idiot.”

Silver chuckled, smirking up at her. “No promises.”

To Be Continued…

Grogar has been sealed away once more.
Silver Tart is recovering, but his battle left scars.
And Chrysalis? She might just love her reckless fool more than ever.
