Lonely Generosity - Chapter 12 - Confusion

Confusion
____________

The soft sprinkle of the winter precipitation continually rained down across the land of Skyfell, the Northern and Western Districts feeling much brighter and its citizens more friendlier than before.

Between the two towers was an incredible park with a enormous statue of a unicorn named Shimmer that stood in the center of the area. Engraved was the time she dissappeared from Skyfell and the acts that she's done to improve the independent nation for the greater good.

One phrase stood out from her positive actions, 'Planned and created the towers', which greatly had revealed that it was her exceptional scientific ability and knowledge that created the incredible towers the stood in and held up the city structure.

There was hardly any pony that ever walked on the actual ground level of Skyfell because of the amount of distance from the top to the bottom as well as how they were used to their elevated distance above ground.

"Come on, Motion!" shouted the female unicorn as she forcefully dragged a male pegasus along the pavement with her magic in the park named 'Glisten Park' that stood between the Northern and Western towers. She huffed, "I want to show you something!"

He looked towards her and gave a rough sigh, he hadn't had much sleep ever since figuring out that he talked an incredible amount in his sleep. His eyelids suddenly flew open as he had a sudden realization.

If he had always been talking in his sleep like that... does that mean Rainbow Dash would've heard him when he was living with her for those few months when they were younger...?

He shook his head and told himself that maybe he just began talking in his sleep because of recent events and being homesick. Motion Reflux glared in front of him to see the unicorn who was dragging him; as well as getting a nice view of her behind...

He hid a blush that almost crawled onto his cheeks and gave off a gentle smirk instead. "Alright Alright, Discovery." he calmly said, "Could you just let me go from your tight magical grip first, then I'll follow behind you?"

She gave off a hardy laugh and stopped, looking behind her. "What? Do you not like getting a good look at my nice plot?" she wiggled her behind at his face, "Or is it just uncomfortable for a stallion like yourself to be dragged against your will?" she cocked her head back to look at him, giving off an evil smirk.

He let his head fall in defeat; "Fine, carry me if you have to, Discovery." he snarled lightly and let his muscles loosen up. She smiled at him and returned her vision forward, walking along the path and carrying the strangely light stallion.

Once they had finally reached the destination that the insistent mare was pulling her friend to she finally let him drop onto the ground with a THUMP!

"Ack!" was all he could get out as his face planted against the hard concrete pathing. He took a moment and finally got up, shaking his head left and right and making a strange sound, "Wubububu"

Discovery looked over at him and giggled, covering her lips with her forehoof; then she turned back towards what stood in front of them both, a giant statue of a unicorn mare that stood strong on all four of her legs.

She hesitated a bit but finally said to her friend, "This is my 'mother'..."
"Your mother..?" he repeated back to her in a phrase of a question.
"...yeah, She was an incredibly bright unicorn in Skyfell during her time, she planned and helped create these magnificent towers that stand here now." she said to him.

A tear ran down her cheek and she turned towards Motion Reflux, quickly wrapping her forehooves around his neck and hugging him tightly, her face buried into his neck as she began to cry.

"I miss her..." she murmured gently.

Her eyes began to glow gently yet unnoticeably, her horn emitting electrical pulses and glowing as she finished her phrase, "...so much."

____

She was her only friend
A friend in a world that wouldn't understand
No pony would understand her creation
She was raised like a normal foal
Her secret hidden from mostly every pony
Her creators death festered guilt within her
It created fear.
It created thoughts.
It created loneliness.
It birthed generosity.
