Light’s story

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I froze all of our belongings so that they would teleport with us to our new house in Ponyville. Chrysalis walks up to me and says. “Are you sure you can do this much magic after yesterday.”

“Dearest, teleporting is the second easiest magic I know. It won’t even use a fiftieth of my power.” I tell her as I freeze the last item, the chest that contained objects my father gave to me before he died. I took care to blanket this item in snow before I stepped away from it. A tear from my memories of dad escaped and I immediately evaporated it.

I hear a knock on the door and Chrysalis go’s to answer. She opens the door and Full wing is there with a couple of guards.

“My queen it is time for us to speak with the Princess.” said Full wing. She nodded her thanks and walked away with them. I make my armor and freeze it to me as I get ready for another training session with Light. He said that I need to relearn his rules and I thought that he was being ridiculous. I sigh as I teleport to the training grounds. I land and light is waiting there for me. He smiles as I walk up to him. When Light smiles it usually means that I am going to go through Hells training course. He walks towards me and I brace myself for training to begin. He keeps walking towards me and he is so close when he stops that I am wondering what he is going to do. I am caught off guard when he sweeps into a hug. I’m now confused as hell and wondering if this is a changeling taking Light’s form.

“You finally grew up little brother.” says Light as he pulled away.

“What? I thought you got me out here to train?” I ask dumbfounded. He laughs and I see something I hadn’t seen in a long time, the gleam of love in his eyes that I had only seen when dad was alive.

“No, I brought you out here to give you something that dad told me to give to you when you were ready. You’re ready now Icy.” said Light. He never calls me Icy anymore. My eyes start to tear up as he pulls out a gun from his light storage spell.

“Dad gave two of these to me the day before he died; he said that when the time comes you will give this one to Ice cube. After he died I locked them away in this spell thinking we would never need them. But I am going to hold to my promise I made with him. Icy, its time you know why I never told you how father died.” He continued. He put the gun on a platform he just created.

“Our dad died because he never used his power, he never wanted to use his power after he killed mom. Dad was the only living element left from his time. After Mom had us his power left his control and it vaporized Mom. Dad decided then that he would never use magic again. Those pains he got at night, that was his power trying to be used, but Dad stuck to his promise and kept it under control until that one day where his power was too much for him to handle as it absorbed him into his death. He always said he would die early but I never listened. If I had known he wasn’t using his power I could have saved him. Water, I could have saved dad. I was there when it happened I watched as his power consumed his body. I could have helped but I was too scared.” Light had tears running down his face. I was no better. I embraced him and we silently wept for a couple moments.

“It’s not our fault, it’s not your, or my fault.” I told him after we pulled apart. He nodded and picked up the gun again. He held it out towards me and I took it, and gave it a closer look. I then recognized the gun as a modified desert eagle.The gun was made to fire rifle bullets. It was engraved. The engraving said ‘love few, trust less, and kill the rest’ Dad’s motto. I felt one last tear fall as I read the words below the motto ‘To my son of the ice winds’ I then froze a holster onto my armor and put the pistol in it. I then looked at light and he had a look in his eye that meant one thing. I was the going to be given the day off. I gave him one last hug then turned and walked back to my room with the thoughts of my Dad floating in my head.

I found myself in front of the door to my room. I opened it and walked in. I leave the door open but shut off the lights. I needed to be alone for a moment. I froze a dome of ice around me and wept into my hands. After about three minutes I stop and gather myself together. I evaporate the tears I had shed and the dome after that. Chrysalis is in a chair. She looks at me with a look of concern as she stands and walks to me. She places a hoof on my shoulder and I teleports us to my secret corner of Equestria. I look up to her and she is in wonder as she looks around at the beautiful seen of ice that I had created. She looks back to me and asks, “Where are we?” I just stay quiet until I was ready to speak. I still needed a couple moments to compose myself. I finally had enough emotional strength to answer as I say, “This is the elemental room of water for this realm. This is where my power comes from. It reflects me and the emotions I have inside of me. Like over there is my love for you.” I say as I gesture to a room that is filled with ice flowers. I then gesture to another room that is raining inside and she looks back to me with a sad look in her eyes.

“That is my love for my father. I just got a gift from him.” I tell her as she looks confusedly at the raining room. I walk up next to her and say, “He’s dead. He has been dead since I was eight.” She looks back at me with her jade eyes and says, “I thought living elements never die.”

“You’re right we don’t, unless we don’t use our power for extended periods of time. My dad never used his power when we were born. I don’t even know which element he was.” I tell Chrysalis.

“He was the best of the best wasn't he?” She asked. I nodded my head as more tears start to flow from my eyes. I embrace Chrysalis as the rain in the other room grew harder. She hugged me for as long as I needed. I teleport us back to our room and say, “I need to take my mind off of things so I’m going to start teleporting our things to our house.” She nods and watches as I teleport object after object to our house in Ponyville. Once everything was there I walked over to Chrysalis and said, “Ready to see our new home?” she nodded and I teleported us to our new house.
