It Is Always Best Forgotten

He ran the side of his head across the soft pillow that held up his head, yawning towards the sunlight that shown over the horizon across the glided windows of a room designed as the night sky itself. He had awoken earlier than yesterday, since Luna was still asleep next to him he looked over to her, her face towards his chest, the face of an angel both cute and subtle, her small, warm paced breath fogged against him. Being able to entrust both heart and body to him, he knew now that she was the one, no one else could fit what she had become to him.

Luna had made him realize just exactly what he wanted to do in life, he would protect her, protect everyone, with his life. He didn't think of it much, but he knew his life was forfeit, he'd gladly give it away to protect someone. There wasn't anything else that could make him happier than seeing his friends and Luna safe and joyful. When Princess Celestia had started to cry... he had to do something about it. Its too much for one pony to be burden with. No one could understand them just like he did.

He brushed the rumbled messy hair of yesterday's events from Luna's face with his nose, viewing in a more clear light the true beauty and cuteness of the mare. He closed his eyes and loomed over to kiss her forehead, when he opened his eyes, he was kissing her lips directly her cheeks in a light shade of pink.

"Oh I'm sorry I..."

"You were awake" he whispered into her ear gently, making her blush even more.

"I didn't feel like doing anything today, or at least anything without you." she said shyly trying to break away from his gaze as the two stared into each others eyes.

"Shall we go meet the others then?"

"Okay but before then..." she said as she quickly gave him an even longer kiss, taking him off guard. "I want to show you something." she tugged at him to follow and he slowly proceeded to get off bed and walk with her.

"What time is it?" yawning as he said it.

"Its a little over noon, near sun down and I wanted to show you something before it turns dark." she said, excitement in her voice clearly striking her vocals.

Illuminous laughed warmly, remembering how his little sister would do nearly the same. How she had shown them not even a week ago her brand new and well decorated garden she tried so hard to make for him and his father.

Thoughts came crashing into him every time he took priority on those types of thoughts, there were many things that he wanted to do, many things he still wanted to know. The whole reason he was doing all of this in the first place was to save his little sister. Having to fight till his last breath, to make everyone around him happy at the cost of his own, it was all for the single cause. Many things had changed though. He no longer sought it that way, so many unexplained things still were left uncertain that it questioned the very motive he bargained for. What was he really chasing after? Even what happened to his father all seemed... strange, he just couldn't describe the feeling.

He shook his head and entered back into reality, where he was being led by the mare of his dreams to show him something, anything, that might be worth viewing.

She took a pause at a T-shaped ending with two halls leading somewhere else, the wall before them seemingly empty except for a picture of a big moon. She stood aside so Illuminous could take a look.

"Who painted it? It looks awesome!" he said as he prospected the picture carefully.

"I did, back when I was a little filly." she said proudly and then her horn began to glow. "But that's not what I wanted to show you."

The picture vanished and a mahogany brown door glided in gold at its edges appeared from empty space of the delicately light blue marble wall. He started to wonder if this was like a family tradition or something. Hiding secret rooms behind magically hidden doors along the walls, yeah I guess the regal sisters aren't very confiding when it comes to entrusting others to keep a secret, why else would they need this sort of method?

Luna laughed as she could guess what he was thinking. "I'm only keeping it hidden since it was supposed to be a surprise for Tia, but I found someone else who I rather show it to." she said as she clearly meant Illuminous.

He blushed and looked backwards trying to hide his embarrassment from taking things out of content and assuming such things. "I knew that." he said innocently causing Luna to giggle even more.

Her horn began to glow again and multiple clicks could be heard. It didn't have a door knob, just a bit more extra protection for the secrets of this Alicorn. She stepped into the dark doorway before her, there was no light, just a pure passage of darkness, but as soon as he stepped in, a small warm and light glow began to appear around him. I guess it was just a natural light he would emit now.

They entered into a dark circular room that had lines running down to the center connecting into one single central point, elevated slabs acting as seats. In the middle, a strangely patterned pike from the roof curved downwards pointing towards the center.

"What is this place?"

"I don't even know, I found this room one day after I had returned. I might have known of this room since I was oddly attracted to it but any memory of it, if any, had been completely erased. This room holds unusual magical properties. After I had spent day after day here, I managed to work with it and create something, something I'd like to show Tia as a surprise."

Luna stepped into the center of the room. Slabs under her hoofs began to shift and turn and even change in appearance as they turned completely black, it had felt like being in a complete void of pure darkness. The room was even darker than it had been a bit ago. Without warning, thousands of small dots of all colors and sizes in patterns of spirals and other oddities began to form along the entire walls as they began to illuminate the darkness with their brilliance. It was truly a breath-taking marvel to behold. Illuminous couldn't think clearly as he started into the magnificence of the chamber.

Stars began to form in a shape of a pony, and Luna suddenly materialized before him, exhausted from her efforts as it had become clear that this was her work. It was stunningly beautiful. It was like staring into the secret ends of the night sky. He only looked in silence of pure awe.

"This... is amazing Luna. I can't even find the right words for this..." he began to mutter.

"Thanks." she said flushing from his praise.

The room turned back into its regular self again in an instance as the Alicorn had tired herself out. What on earth could take up so much magic as to weaken someone like Luna?

He stepped closer to her and helped her to up towards a small slab to act as a seat.

"What happened?" he asked.

"It leaves me drained every time I do that, but this room is able to be melded to magic, anything can be done here." She explained. "How about you try?"

Illuminous was hesitant but he couldn't really deny an offer from Luna.

"Alright here I go." He said as he stepped closer to the center.

He felt a small warmth that he recognized as Luna's magic and closed his eyes to imagine. Lines of pure white began to encase him as they ran down the gaps between the seats and making a pattern as they got closer to the center. A circle took in the lines that lay around him and the roof began to do the same. Suddenly, flowing white shards surrounded him and left him without an escape.

"What's going on?!" Illuminous asked alarmed as the shards began to spin faster.

"I don't know! The room is supposed to take what emotions you have deep inside you and it forms into whatever you imagine." she said.

And like from before, an unnatural force hit him unconscious as the shards made an impassible wall before him.

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

An angered voice echoed through the darkness.

A white stallion stood in the void, staring at him.

Illuminous could not speak, but he knew that his thoughts could be heard.

This was a dark and unholy presence...

This time, I shall be victorious.

I've spent an eternity waiting for this.

You... will carry out my plan flawlessly.

A new reign of rule approaches.

All will bow to me.

Another sudden voice screamed out in a horrifying roar that echoed through the darkness. It was his father...

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

A piercing blast of a white wave ran through the room as he was finally out of it, the shattered white shards that lay as a reminder of the sudden release of energy began to vanish. He lied down on the floor weary and tired. He broke out into a cold sweat from the scene before. Those words... that pony... It was his voice... It was him...

He found Luna quickly as his side. He had no energy, now he knew what Luna had to feel like when she did hers.

Before Luna could even ask what that had been, Princess Celestia appeared out of the dark doorway, her expression grave and serious.

"Tia?" Luna turned back at her.

"This room... it shouldn't be a surprise you found it Luna... I should've warned you sooner..." Celestia spoke lowly. "This is the room where I had cast the spell to your father... This was the room we had spent our time practicing. Your father built is a learning haven. A magical archive to learn and live. I had thought the magic was all gone... ever since he..."

"Wait... so you mean Illuminous activated whatever power was still in it? But Tia... I was able to use way before he had even been on it."

"That's what I don't understand." Celestia said as she lowered her head to think.

"Well whatever the case, I've found out something very vital to the Luminesciant race." Celestia turned towards Illuminous. "The Lumineciants were only a bloodline species back in the Elven Rule, they were the royalty and rulers of the land. Their power was evenly matched against an army of thousands, they were the archangels of the world... but... they weren't good. The Book of Elven tells of the last ruler King Sol."

Illuminous flinched back at the name.

"King Sol was a godly figure, represented by the sign of death. His rule on the throne caused many lives to suffer and perish, and many of the rulers before them as well. Luminesciants would kill their own fathers to gain power to the throne. King Sol however grew bored of the pony race and began to destroy every pony. He was considered a weapon. The Apocalyptic Horse Astaroth. Only the Alicorn race was powerful to be a challenge against him alone. Everyone rebelled against him but in the end, he had destroyed everything and everyone. Elven had been completely eradicated. He had been defeated by the leader of the rebellion group. A powerful Alicorn that held the power of darkness, Nyx herself aided him in the final battle. The Timeless Rivals."

Illuminous sank back into the wall he was no held upon. He... was a monster... a weapon of destruction... it had all been true... that vision... King Sol against that Alicorn... it was him...

He was the reincarnation of King Sol.

Sorry guys it took so long. I lost all good morale to finish this story when it had gotten a complete "fail" sign from a reviewer. I had meant for everything to fall into place in later parts of the story but I guess he had been to disgusted by the beginning chapters to even read the ending. Anyways I'm really sorry guys. :( I'll finish it no doubt but don't expect it any time soon. I'm still having serious heart conditions which has also kept me back for a while since occasionally I fear having to go to the hospital from sharp pains at my chest and shortness of breath. I'm constantly awoken in the middle of the night and I got to my classes sleepy and tired from the sleepless night of pain and the teachers don't care to understand my problem and they get after me for that. I'm fighting a battle of my own. So guys, be patient.

Also, I'd appreciate it if everyone would care to take a look at a new story of mine that will be called "The Stars That Shine Bright." I haven't released it yet so wait for it. I'll probably send it out today. I feel the story will be grand compared to this one. This was only a starting curve to my love for writing. Also. Thanks LunaInSocks. I wouldn't have had the morale to finish the story if you hadn't asked me to. This story will be finished soon and will not be changed from any grammatical error or bad literature language since its my landmark of a new beginning. Thanks again guys. Thank you all.
