If others ask you why you are so close to me then please tell them you are my dearest son, I do not care what others think or do. All that matters to me is your happiness and well being. Say Delta Scorch do you know where Cloud Kicker is right now?” Luna asked. Delta Scorch tightened his hug on mother. “Oooh!” Luna’s back popped. “Oh my son I love you very much! Oooh!” The grip is getting tighter and Delta presses his head against her shoulder. “I glad you’re happy.” “My words fell on deaf ears.” Luna thought to herself. Contrary to her thought. “I think Cloud Kicker is in Cloudsdale right now mother. She’s working today and tomorrow but she will be taking the say off though the day after tomorrow. However, I will guess why you are asking me this. You want to spend time her before you give her your blessing. Right?” “Yes. And you can call what I plan a ladies night out also I got something for you to help you pay for the wedding ring.” Luna’s horn glowed to make something the dead Alicorn has given her a long time ago. “Here it is my son.” Delta who is still hugging mother does not the object Luna has brought. “What is it?” Luna smiled. “Well before I tell you I have to say these hard words. Ahem. If you want to see what it is how about you let go of me.” Delta sighed and after long seconds he regretfully let go of Luna to see what she has levitating in front of him. “Whooooooooooa, i-i-is that a di-di-diamond!” “Yes it’s a diamond, ok, a blood diamond but still a diamond I got as a gift.” Delta touched the diamond. “Who can give you this huge diamond as a gift! It looks so nice and I bet it’s worth a lot of shiny bits!” “It’s worth six lifetimes of wealth my son as for the pony who gave it to me, I…umm; I think you know who gave it to me because I can’t say his name.” Luna looked away so she can frown giving Delta a major clue. Delta Scorch gasped quietly. “It’s from the Alicorn you had us kill isn’t it?” “Yes my son…*sigh*…look I understand you will never forget that mission and I understand you will always tell me how much you hated it and it almost scarred you. But let me tell you something you deserve to know.” Luna will go in depth in her former relationship with the dead Alicorn. “The dead Alicorn is Celestia’s adopted son and my nephew. Please wait until I’m done speaking my son. He is Celestia’s only son and I killed him, however, before all of that. Ahem, after the return and scourge of the magical sentient Nightmare Moon he changed I don’t know what caused the change but he changed. He said he does not deserve to be Celestia’s son or even call her mother so he went back to calling her Guardian Aunt. As for me he asked not to be called nephew anymore so the relationship between me and him went from family to just friendship.” Luna’s magic released the diamond from her grip to allow Delta to hold it. “I killed my sister’s son and my nephew. I killed somepony of my own family knowing I will not blink to it nor initially feel any form of guilt. Please if you are going to continue denouncing the decision I made then do so in a good matter.” Delta nodded to his mother’s revelation. To kill family it takes courage to even think that option, an option that only took seconds for Luna to carry out. “Why will he call his mother Guardian Aunt if you’re his aunt?” “Celli and his birthmother were extremely close, almost sisterly close prompting that name.” Delta heard enough. To him even though the dead Alicorn is the adopted son of Celestia he felt he partook in the death of royalty. “Mother killed her own nephew. Should I be afraid of Princess Celestia who probably knows I’m mother’s son along with now being Princess Celestia's nephew too, I know I shouldn’t be having these thoughts but if Princess Celestia desires giving mother the pain of losing a son.” So Delta decided to ask. “Mother, should I be worried about Princess Celestia?” “Huh?” Luna tilted her head to the right. “What do you mean by that question son?” “You took away her son, a mother’s child, and more importantly her immortal child. I fear, oh man, now I’m starting to become afraid. She’s your sister and she might want you to feel her pain, I’m scared mother! I’m scared!” Truly. Delta is trembling in his silver armor just like he did when the Razor had its blade pointed at him. Luna covered Delta with her wing. “Delta you have nothing to be afrai…” The son interrupted. “NO!! If I am going to be the reason of conflict between you and Princess Celestia then I can’t be your son! I can’t be your son if you are willing to fight her majesty Celestia to protect me!” Luna shook her head to clear something. “My son you have nothing to fear. Though I took my sister’s son away she will not I mean never seek any form of vengeance against me much less against you, an innocent stallion in all of this.” “Wh-why!?” “Me, her, and Cadance are of the Pure Alicorn Trinity and as Pure Immortals we cannot be infected by the emotions mortals will normally have.” Luna nuzzled Delta Scorch to calm him down some more. “So I nothing to fear then?” “No my son.” “I can continue being your son and you can continue being my mother?” “You are always my son and I your mother no matter what.” However, the mortal son has somepony else to be worried about…someone who desires to have Luna feel the pain that is rightfully deserved given the point of view. Until then the mortal son is oblivious. Along with the Immortal Mother. *** “Ah, right here is the spot for the picnic! One part in the shade and another part in the warm sunlight!” Running Sun laughed to the happiness in the air. “Hold on Lyra, let me set the blanket and we can sit down to enjoy the goodies.” While the young stallion sets everything up, Lyra Heartstrings couldn’t help but study him with curious eyes. “Bon Bon’s little brother loves me even though we never had any sort of an established relationship until I and Bon Bon fell in love.” She titled her head while time around her slowed down. “This young stallion loves me very much because I love his sister, he accepts me and probably he cherishes me. Of course I’m sure he still thinks of me differently and I will not hold that against him also he’s so sweet. Just like Bon Bon my Bon Bon.” Running Sun turned to look at Lyra prompting the Unicorn to smile at him and so he smiles back at her. “He accepts me as a part of his family…I harmed his dearest sister so many times. I harmed the sister of this stallion who loves me; the mare he loves so dearly is the mare I love too. The mare who protected him, comforted him, helped him with homework, and the mare who enjoyed letting him sleep on her shoulder. His sister Bon Bon means the world to him.” *Sigh* “I will change. I will pay Big McIntosh a visit to get help also I will make him inflict the same pain I inflicted on Bon Bon onto me, it’s what I deserve!” Running Sun, finally asked Lyra to join him on the blanket. “Will you like some seven flash soda Lyra?” “Sure thanks.” Lyra’s magic held her form cup up so Running Sun can pour the cold soda in it. After taking a thirst quenching sip she reached for a slice of a delicious looking apple, peach pie. “Yum! This pie is good Running Sun! Did you make it?” Running Sun smiled to see how pleased Lyra is with the pie. “Apple Cobbler helped me with the pie and she made the rest of the food.” “Ah, well how nice of her to prepare the food for this picnic but how come she didn’t want to join us?” “I told her everything about you and Bon Bon, she was quite astounded and kind of curious about my outlook of it. After I was done telling her everything she saw that I love you very much so she came up with this idea in order for us to spend some time together. While on my part it was you who gave me the courage to ask Apple Cobbler out on a date. I’m glad to have met you Lyra.” Yes Running Sun is opening up to Lyra Heartstrings which in turn cause her to feel some guilt. And Running Sun opened up to Lyra. He points out how she is kind, beautiful from an admiration point of view, loving, caring, talented with the lyre, and so strong. Lyra nearly frowned to all of the kind words expressed from Running Sun; it must have been an act of Bon Bon to keep Running Sun in dark about the domestic violence otherwise this young stallion will not be so loving to her instead he’ll be…much worse and maybe add some physical attributes too. “You see all of that in me?” “Yes.” “But what if everything you said is just one side of the coin, what if the other side of the coin is the opposite of what you just said. I’m honored to hear of your high esteem for me but please don’t hold me in high esteem Running Sun or Runny Sunny. Hehehe, sorry, but I had to say that. Anyway just to let you in on something…not everyone is who you think they are Running Sun, sometimes to see the true colors of somepony they must be put in the most unfortunate situations.” Lyra will not tell Running Sun about the domestic violence. Oooh how it can ruin everything and make things much harder for the mare so against her conscience Lyra snapped her mouth shut. To do the right thing in this part will definitely end everything. “Oh, well I hope you’re never in a unfortunate situation Lyra!” Running Sun suddenly wrapped his arms around Lyra squeezing the living daylights out of her. “Thanks Running Sun.” Lyra doing what she can only do right now is just nuzzle him on the head. “I’m glad Bon Bon has a loving little brother like you.” A loving Little Brother indeed. A factor the angel of death detests. *** “In the most probable of ways it was through Celestia I met my mother after many years Twilight. Heh and then Celestia protected me from her when she tried to see me.” Twilight marveled to Octavia’s life story about Harmonic Breeze, now that Twilight finally thought about it Spike has two records of Harmonic Breeze’s music. “Octavia, Spike has two records of your mother’s music.” “Where did he get them from?” Asked the gray mare. “From a thrift store.” Laugh out loud. Octavia smirked. “Well in my opinion Spike has bad taste in music.” Twilight smiled in disagreement. “Oh don’t be so harsh on Harmonic Breeze, Octavia; she has a nice singing voice that sounds like an Angel and don’t tell me she never sang to you because chances are she did when she was your mother.” “She never sang to me Twilight, my father sang to me every night while he lies by me stroking my hair and kisses me on the head before I drifted off to sleep.” “How sweet.” Twilight remembered the loving moments she has spent with her father. Including the moment where her father didn’t want to let go of her when Twilight stood in front of Celestia’s school for gifted Unicorns. “It is and now you know everything about my mother Twilight. But why are you so curious about my mother?” Twilight who is a master of concealing her atrocities even from Princess Celestia performed her moves that she knows will just make the flow blend with innocence and deception. “I just can’t comprehend the incalculable collapse of the mother and child relationship between you two, I mean it’s mother and child! Mother and child!” Twilight can’t help but repeat the topic she’s now involved in. “I have read and seen a mother being forever there for her child from birth to the child’s departure through independence. The Mother is always the mother. Like you. A Mother who already loves her son so dearly. Nothing can take a mare away from her duty of being a mother!” For Twilight this is not theory. Octavia passed a hoof through her beautiful hair. “Yeah…I heard that before. Look let me tell you something I myself came up with; just because a mare can carry a child in her womb it does not automatically make her a mother, that mare chooses to be a mother or chooses not to be. How’s that for a theory.” *Two blinks from Twilight* “Hold on.” Twilight’s magic got a quill and small notebook to float before her allowing her to jolt down Octavia’s words. The words sound theoretical enough to require thorough research. “There!” Twilight teleported the small notebook back to her study. “Ahem, your theory if processed by an open mind is logically sound given the fact you emphasized how choice makes one who they are. Hmm, a mare chooses to be a mother…oh my, I nearly forgot about the mares who made the choice to put their child up for adoption or become surrogates.” “Or choose to abandon their child.” Octavia filled in. “That too.” Twilight cleared her throat to see now that she has been exposed to a rough theory it can be time to put an experimentation into motion. “Octavia you promised your mother you will see her tomorrow but I think you break that promise.” Octavia turned to Twilight to look upon her with a face expressing such profound confusion. “What!?” “You got all of your anger towards your mother out of your system and you show determination to reconnect with her so instead of waiting till tomorrow how about you go to her today.” “Ummmm.” Octavia’s confused profound face changed a nervous one and to follow the facial transformation along with interior emotion is her body heat going up allowing redness to be painted over her cheeks and Twilight to feel the warmth. “I don’t think I can go back to her today.” “In that case I will go with you to see her and I’ll be quiet as a mouse.” Twilight raised her hoof. “Scout’s honor!” Fun fact, Twilight was never in the adorable Filly Scouts. Octavia smiled weakly again. “You will accompany me? For real Twilight!?” “Of course.” Twilight got up and extended her right hoof placing it in front of the gray mare. “I gave you my word and what kind of a mare will I be if I don’t keep it.” Can’t argue there. Octavia looked at the nice extended hoof in front of her, inside her mind she thinks of what to decide. She truly does not have to do this alone after all she figured there are things that a friend can passively help with. “Celestia has really taught Twilight Sparkle well. Almost a near perfect reflection of Him.” She lifted up her hoof to rest it on Twilight’s waiting hoof. “I’ll hold you to your word Twilight and thank you. Thank you Twilight.” Octavia got up to all fours. “Let’s go Oct…say why did Rainbow Dash call you Octy?” Octavia’s ears dropped. “You heard that?” “Yes.” Octavia gently struck a large sunflower. “That is only between me and her Twilight so please don’t call me that name. Sorry about that, also why Octy well that’s the nick name my father had. Tavi on the other hoof, ehhhhh, I don’t like it. But for some reason everybody or some of everybody calls me that name, Pinkie Pie especially always calls me that even though I tell her not to but alas I have to cut her some slack for the sake she’s Pinkie Pie.” “Ah, I agree with you on the Pinkie part.” Both mares laughed. The Earth pony and the Wolf left the palace. Both of them cantered all the way back to Harmonic Breeze’s little humble dominion, Twilight with her violet eyes studies the anxiousness in Octavia’s grayish purple eyes. “At least I know the reason for the weakling to change his magic color from teal to grayish purple. More importantly Octavia is nervous to see her mother again, though she won’t do so under the shield of scorn but with the olive branch of acceptance. She’s quite the mare though she may have picked up some useful traits from the weakling nevertheless; the traits she picked up are useful.” “We’re here.” Octavia knocked without bothering to wait for Twi’s acknowledgement. Harmonic Breeze opened the door recreating the same surprised face she had the first time. Instantly Twilight told the old mare to focus simply on Octavia and not on her. Twilight went inside with Octavia sitting down to watch what she desires to be reconnection between the two. Consequently, before the ushering of a word Octavia looked to Twilight. “Good Luck Octavia.” Are the words Octavia received from the single nod. Octavia began speaking to her mother by talking about the complexness of a shooting star and the simplicity of creating a portrait with the finest oil paints. “Unrelated topics nor even surefire for establishing a connection but yet quant for some reason that reason will tell me why she starts off like this.” Not even Twilight can deduce if this little meet between mother and daughter can lead to anything but she will at least use her telepathy to a minor extent. If necessary. *** “Hey Big Macintosh, is this card good? It seems pretty lovy dovey to me.” Bon Bon suppressed a giggle in order for the red stallion to take a look at it. “Hmmm...” *Muttered gibberish because he’s reading the words out loud but below a whisper* “No not this one.” He gave the card back to Bon Bon. “What!? This card is really cute! C’mon I’ll give this card to Lyra Heartstrings if it’s good enough for her then it has to be good enough for Pinkie Pie.” Big Macintosh shook his head. “Difference between Pinkie Pie and Lyra Heartstrings is AH DON’T KNOW! AHHHH!” Big Mac screamed. “AHHH!” Bon Bon screamed too. “AHHHH!” Big Macintosh screamed back. “Are we done with the screaming?” “Yes.” Big Macintosh waved his hair. “Yeah Ah predict Pinkie Pie has higher standards than Lyra and please don’t compare the two of them ever again. It’s just plain wrong to compare them, so please don’t do it again in the future. Pinkie is party, party, party, while for the moment Lyra is hit, hit, hit.” Cheeky Macintosh. “You got me there. Hey how about that one!” Bon Bon got another card and showed it to Big Mac. *Ting!* “This is the perfect card! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Bon Bon!” He seized her with his mighty hugs squeezing the air out of her lungs and making the mare’s face turn blue. “I-I ca-can’t breathe!” Bon Bon rasped. The red stallion came back to his normal not so affectionate self. “Oh sorry bout that Bon Bon. Anyway Ah’ll be paying for this then we’ll going to the Sugarcube Corner so Ah!” A little move to put the head in a high position. “Can give it to Pinkie Pie! EEEEEY can’t wait!” Such a cute squeal of delight. “Me too.” Bon Bon did a squeal of delight too but ended up getting a strange look from the red stallion. “Oh it’s only cute when you do it eh.” After paying for the card the duo left the Hallpony store. “Big guy forgot his change.” Thought the clerk. As Bon Bon thinks about Big Macintosh acting all high and mighty now before becoming a nervous wreck in front of Pinkie Pie she allows her eyes wonder to whatever can attract them. There’s Roseluck selling her roses, Soarin watching Dinky Doo enjoy her sundae while he has a smile on his face, Zecora trading with what looks like a saddlebag made out of dragonskin, Fluttershy sitting on a bench giving the tree library some kind of a death stare, Fleet-Foot in the air above the park trying to break the sound barrier, and Running Sun giving Lyra Heartstrings a sweet big hug of his…wait, what!!? Bon Bon came to a complete halt to be seeing such a thing. “Is there something wrong Bon Bon?” Big Macintosh asked. Bon Bon pointed at the park. “My little brother Big Mac, he’s hugging the heck out of Lyra. I-I need to protect him.” “Wait.” The red stallion stopped the mare by grasping her shoulder. “Don’t.” “What do you mean don’t Big Macintosh!” When things are serious Bon Bon calls Big Macintosh by his full name. “I need to need to protect him! Wouldn’t you do the same for Apple Bloom!” Big Macintosh who still has his hoof on Bon Bon’s shoulder asked her to look at Running Sun’s happy face and then look at Lyra’s guilty plagued face. “Though Lyra is threat to you she knows her limits and Ah can tell she loves your little brother. While your little brother loves her too. Please think Bon Bon, this may disturb you but even you can tell that Lyra will not harm Running Sun.” Bon Bon looked down as she bites her lower lip. She has to admit Big Macintosh is very right; Lyra enjoys spending time with Running Sun and Bon Bon has not breathed a word to little brother about the domestic violence she knows it will hurt him to see how she’s been hurt and it will hurt him too because she has kept this from him. “You really think Lyra will not do anything to him?” Big Macintosh nodded. “If she does anything to him then she loses you.” Bon Bon sighed, took one last look at Runny Sunny hugging Lyra and continued walking with Big Macintosh to the Sugarcube corner. “Runny Sunny may have more integrity than me.” *Ting ting* The bell rang informing Pinkie Pie and the Cakes there’s a customer in the restaurant. Big Mac went in alone; he wants to test the amount of courage inside of him and be watched by Bon Bon who’s peering from the shop window along with giving the stallion a nice little wink for good luck. “Ok Big Maco, you’re going to give Pinkie Pie the card and ask her if she has any plans tomorrow evening.” Despite the wink Big Macintosh felt nimble tingle zig zag down his spine, hmm if he had a bit for every time that happened then he’ll only have one measly bit. Mr. Cake came up to show Big Mac to his table, upon sitting down and casting the menu aside he asked if he can speak to Pinkie Pie. Mr. Cake nearly tilted his head to the requested and asked Big Macintosh to repeat the request. So after a blink Big Macintosh said it again. Two times is better than one. “I’ll be getting her right now.” Big Macintosh did a shallow deep breath to the occurring waiting time, clearly he can feel drops of sweat run down the back of his neck only to disappear behind his yoke. It’s cute to see this side of him reemerge again since that little moment he had with Applejack when he had his sights on Lyra Heartstrings. “You can do this.” Pinkie Pie, came out of the kitchen hippity hopping eager to know what Big Macintosh wants to speak about with her. “Hey Big Mac!” Cue in some unnoticeable blushing. “H-hi Pinkie Pie, how are you doing today?” Pinkie took a seat even though she’s working. “I’m doing happity zappity ipity good Big Mac.” Zappity because she’s cooking with some zap apple jam. “Did it now you idiot! Don’t hesitate!” Big Macintosh reached for the card he has in his yoke. “Pinkie Pie, Ah came to give you something and to ask you a question.” “Ooooh what do you have, what do you have for me!” The Element of Laughter clapped her hooves together. “Here you go.” Big Mac slid the card across the table, pleading Pinkie will love it…he didn’t write anything in the card. Poetry isn’t a trait he has much experience in along with the stallion he goes to for writing poetry for him is dead though the card already has something sweet written inside. Pinkie Pie opened up the card to read the words. “Awww this is so sweet! Thank you Big Macintosh, I love it!!” She popped up in front to give him a bone squeezing hug. “How adorable.” Bon Bon said to herself. Big Macintosh’s heart exploded with joy to feel this loving affection from the mare he loves! Happily his heart feels like bursting out of his chest and run around the Sugarcube Corner jumping up and down, yelling at the top of its uhhh…pulmonary artery and jumping back into Big Mac’s chest before it goes into cardiac arrest. “Pinkie Pie, Ah wonder if you’re not busy tomorrow do you want to come to Sweet Apple acres for di-din-dinner?” “YES! Big Macintosh thanks for inviting me, oh! I have to get back to work, thanks for the card!” She squeezed him one more time before finally letting go. “Bye!” Big Macintosh, took the time to absorb everything that just transpired. “Oh my sweet apple bucking muscles!! Pinkie Pie is coming to dinner! SHE’S COMING TO DINNER!” If he spoke those words out loud his powerful yell could have destroyed everything around him along with providing deafness. Big Macintosh joined Bon Bon outside. “So how did it go Big Macintosh?” “Bon Bon, Pinkie Pie is coming to dinner tomorrow…We got work to do!!” Within the blink of an eye both Earth Ponies broke into a gallop to prepare the dinner of a lifetime. *** In Applejack’s room. “Applejack, think. Think about the potential for a good future free of lust, free of emptiness, and free of the loneliness when you desire the warmth of a loving partner.” Chero whispered with a comforting motherly voice. Applejack, searched her mind asking herself why did she allow herself to be taken over by lust and live such a shameful life. A life so full of quick euphoric thrills and then a slow life waking up to have nothing to lovingly hug and kiss. Meditating has its problems too. Applejack opened her eyes to cease the guilt. “Chero, this is going to be hard for me.” “I know Applejack; nothing is particular easy but if it was then life will be a lie because nothing can be obtained without any sort of labor. Even those with vast wealth may look like they have it easy but they labor hard to keep the vast wealth in their possession. Also if this comforts you Applejack, I am here with you. I am never going to leave no matter how grave of a mistake you do or how great of an achievement you perform. You have me. Always.” “Thanks Chero. Huh?” She noticed four shiny pieces of cardboard in her hat. “Oooh it’s the tickets and backstage passes Dj Pon 3 gave me so Ah can give them to Rarity and Rainbow Dash.” “Please hold them up so I can see them.” Applejack guessed Chero sees the world through her emerald colored eyes. “Here they are.” “You do realize giving the tickets and backstage passes to the both them is going to be a test in itself right?” Applejack titled her head to that. “Ah don’t want to face Rarity and Rainbow Dash. Rarity is hurt by me and Rainbow Dash is ashamed of me.” “But you have to Applejack. Besides guilt can sometimes serve as a motivation, just remember though. Don’t condemn yourself. Alright.” “Got it.” Applejack said out loud. “However, on the safe side let’s give them the tickets one day before the concert to allow more courage to accumulate inside.” There’s still two days before the performance. The Element of Honesty, sighed once more and closed her eyes. *** Twilight’s cute ears twitched in different directions, catching the few words about Celestia come out of Octavia’s mouth and then something about cello solo from Harmonic Breeze’s mouth. “I pushed this little meeting too soon. The point of reconnection between the two is still in its premature stages.” Octavia paused to think of something to say to mother and cautiously took a peek to Twilight hoping the Unicorn can give her anything but Twilight had nothing to give other than a nice shrug. “Anyway mother, thank you for offering me a place here in your house to stay but I will decline and in case you forgotten her name is Twilight Sparkle or Twilight as she prefers to be called…” A pause and wandering eyes. “I decided to come back today because I thought maybe we can start the rekindling right now.” Harmonic Breeze invisibly smiled to Octavia changing her mind to return. Though the time spent with her daughter is short at least the time is being used to reconnect. “Octavia, I can’t thank you enough for changing mind and I hope you can plan something for the both of us to do.” Octavia refrained herself from touching her mother’s hoof, such affection is not entitled but earned and so far Harmonic Breeze hasn’t earned it yet but it should be a matter of time if everything goes well. “We should call it a day.” Said the gray mare. “And maybe we can have uhm lunch yeah lunch sounds good at the Sugarcube Corner and if it’s alright with you my late husband’s sister can join us so she can meet a grea, err a singer.” The gray mare gave Harmonic Breeze a voice to decide. Harmonic Breeze of course accepted without objecting to being joined by the sister of the dead Alicorn. “Thank you.” Octavia took a look at Twilight signaling they’re leaving. “Mother, I’ll be going and I will contact you when we’ll going to have the lunch.” She got up from the chair. “Good bye mother.” The mother extended her arms out of impulse. Octavia gazed at Harmonic Breeze while she enlarges her nostrils a few times and shook her head. Harmonic Breeze silently gasped and lowered her arms. Too early to ask for a hug. Twilight went outside to wait for Octavia who at the moment stands at the entrance the same way she did earlier. “I love you mother.” And left. Twilight and Octavia began their trot back to the palace. Twilight knowing that she does not know when Rarity will be coming back along with Octavia also being in the dark about Rarity decided to take the upper hoof if by chance Rarity is here when Octavia decides to have the lunch with Harmonic Breeze. “Octavia.” “Yes Twilight.” “Is it alright if I can join you, Rarity, and your mother for that lunch?” Anything to be near Rarity. Octavia thought and then focused her grayish purple eyes on the violet eyes. “I’m sorry Twilight but I feel so much closer with Rarity so I trust her more with this sort of manner of course thank you for encouraging me to come see my mother and for also accompanying me. I don’t think I could have talked with her if you weren’t sitting in the shadows, again I’m sorry Twilight but this is hard for me you know. Reconnecting with the mare who abandoned me and father also destroyed the fidelity created by marriage, but through Father’s wise words and Gold Sky’s loving nature I knew both of them will encourage me to forgive her. Ooooh boy who would have ever figured that reconnecting with mother will be so emotionally taxing.” Luckily in the emotionally taxing part the massive hormonal equilibrium is not acting up so there will not be any angry outbursts, sudden crying episodes, weird moments of joy, joy happiness, and just long moments of thinking about anything most likely the future. Twilight patted Octavia on the shoulder. “I understand Octavia also I wish you the best of luck with your mother.” “Thanks Twilight…say I think I’ll come to you from now on with my mother issues instead of going to Celli, she provided wisdom and I want to keep it that way because I don’t want her to feel pain if she dives into her maternal instinct to provide anymore wisdom.” Octavia stopped to pick the right words. “Twilight, I can use every ounce of your wisdom.” “Wisdom??” To hear that word be used as a predominant trait she naturally possesses truly took her by surprise. “I’m smart not wise. Besides I think Rarity is older than me and maybe you too.” Octavia wiped away her smile to bring seriousness in this true vital praise Twilight Sparkle deserves. “Look Twilight just shut up and listen!” A bit of angry mood swing there. “I mean what I say Twilight, you are wise because you know what to do in the situations others do not know what to do. Practically, you know everything when you think you don’t along being humble about it too also I think you should be Celestia’s right hoof just Luna is her left hoof. Is what I’m saying starting to sound like flattery?” Twilight’s tongue pressed against her left cheek. Inside her superior advanced mind she contemplates whether she should feel some shame for shocking Octavia with electrical magic because Octavia judging from the sincere words always had an admiration for her. “Octavia has always admired me from afar and she sees my unseen potential the same way Celli saw in me. Oh man perhaps I should remake my plans in order Octavia will not be in them.” Twilight’s pure innocence briefly eclipsed the lust. “Octavia is innocent, just like the weakling, and the unborn child inside of her womb. I know I shouldn’t be thinking of using Octavia to find the weakling but she is the most probable asset.” The eclipse came to its end. “Rarity, also has plans, she is the most beautiful but her intelligence is perplexing. I never had the opportunity to analyze her just like I did with the others so I can’t underestimate her. She knows what I’m capable of. I made a mistake of delivering so much punishment to her. My strength has details for her to memorize and my magic can deflected by her now strong magic.” Twilight thought some more while the gray mare goes on being sincere. “I have to be patient; it is a virtue after all.” “And Twilight I wish I knew you better.” Octavia stopped prompting Twilight to also stop. “Thank you. Thank you for being so willing to share your wisdom with me.” Twilight closed her eyes and beamed a adorable smile. “You’re very welco, oh!” The gray mare wrapped her arms around the Wolf’s neck. Oh how sweet of the innocent being hugging the ravenous Wolf, such softness will be exploited when the time presents itself. “You’re very welcome Octavia.” Twilight hugged Octavia with a smile… A loving innocent smile. This Wolf is not just any wolf that can simply be hunted down by the Dire Wolf and little Fox. This Wolf has the whole world embedded in deception from the Pure Immortals to the three blind Elements (Loyalty, Honesty, Laughter) as it planned because it knows what cannot be seen will not be believed. Twilight is the Alpha Wolf. --- Chapter. 60- Departure from the Republic and the Queen...the night is dark and full of Terrors. My dearest readers let me first apologize for the length of this chapter. Its shortness does not excuse me for the time you waited and again I apologize. In the previous chapter as stated by Nightmare Moon, yes, I was watching season 3 of Game of Thrones and I'm done. Of course, as she happily predicted. I did...cry like a baby in episode 9 of season 3. If you're curious about that episode, I suggest you go to YouTube and type in The Red Wedding. I won't talk about it here because it's sad and more importantly don't want to ruin anybody's curiosity.
