//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: Corr // Story: The New Line // by Prince Aeon //------------------------------// Aeon "So what happened with her?" There was a cold silence... I... I regretted the answer. "I've changed her as a unicorn, until she would be mature enough to know the truth, I couldn't let her sister discover her powers, I could have turned dangerous. I gave her to a unicorn family that brought her in the small village of Galloponia, but I fear of what happened." Emma gave me a scared look. "I am sorry, I should have told you this sooner." "Does that means that..." "...Yes... In some facts, Pisces is my daughter. As Celestia and Luna, but they do think that I killed their mother to gain her powers so they don't like me at all, and don't consider me as their father..." "But where can we find Raven now?" Pisces The unconscious mare was on my back, I hoped that he would be pleased even if I only was able to have one of them. I dropped the body on the ground. "Pisces... why is there only one of them?" I hesitated, I didn't knew who the pony that defended the fillies was. "Hum... Somepony got the other back..." A hoof out of the shadows, far from the glowing green eyes that were starring at me, hit me and knocked me down. I stood back up to see him moving closer. "Do you know why I asked you to have BOTH of them?" "...uh.... uhh..." I moved a little bit backwards. "Because with one of them Aeon will KNOW if they are still alive, and for that I can't get him to do what I want... but it's still a good thing that you have the Darkness one." He approached the mare on the ground with a creepy smile. "But I will need you to send a message to him, and a special way." Out of nowhere a dead zebra felt at my hooves, I looked at it with no emotions, like if I had no pity for it. "What do you want me to do Corr?" Aeon It was getting colder, even if I couldn't feel it, Emma's shivering was giving me a hint. "Are you okay Emma?" "I'm fine, all what matters is my daughter!" I think that she was kinda upset at me for hiding the truth. I had no choices, I couldn't risk Emma to try to meet Pisces. Suddently there was a movement in the bushes. I stopped but Emma ignored it. I whispered. "Emma! Stop!" "What's wrong? It's maybe just a squirrel" Emma froze and stepped back. A shape came out of the woods. It was her... Pisces. "Don't go any further Aeon or the safety of your daughter may go wrong." What did she meant? "What do you want Pisces?" She froze, maybe wondering why did I knew her. "He told me I could get answers from you." "Who told you that?" "He said he knew you and you could help me." "Why kidnapping our daughter?" "He requested them, and for the return, I would have answers!" "As long as I don't have Raven with me, I won't answer any of your questions." She looked at me like I did a crime. "Then others will die." A bright light came out and blinded us. When everything came back to normal. A dead Zebra was on the ground. Emma gasped and had a movement backwards. As I came closer to look at the dead mare. "This is the Zebra Princess Azure. She was crowned Princess five years ago." "What did she meant «Others will die»?" "She plans to kill another mare that lived the live she didn't, I think that she think that she should be royalty as an Alicorn. Azure lived something that Pisces didn't and I think that this is a clue of her next target..." I thought for a moment, Noponies were crowned Princess, not recently tho, there is no Monarchy for the Mules, and the Griffons... the griffons... Oh dear. I deployed my wings. "Emma, we have to leave, NOW!" "What is it?" "I have no doubt that Pisces next target is the Griffon Lulisha!" "Why are you so sure about it?" "She will be crowned Princess tomorrow."
