It had been weeks since Divi had met Hymm. The two had become friends almost instantly. Hymm would visit regularly, despite tthe fact that Divi lived so far in the Everfree Forest. Divi loved whenever Hymm came to visit, she kept herself alone for so long, hoping none would discover her secret. Being close to anypony could be disastrous. Both to herself and all of equetria. Divi pressed her hooves deeply into her temples, trying to dispell the dispairing thoughts clouding her mind.
No, I'm not that anymore. I'm a pony now, and gosh darn it I'm gonna stay that way! She remembered all the years she spent alone, silently watching over everything. Sort of like how the Princesses act now, except they still maintain contact with other ponies. No, leave my mind, foul thoughts!
Now was not a time for reminiscing, she had to get ready. She was going to go to town today to visit Hymm. She quickly brushed her short mane and donned her saddlebags before heading for town in a brisk trot.
The next few hours were bliss. The mares went everywhere. Divi had never taken the time to truly look through Ponyville. Hymm was showing Divi all her favorite shops and restaurants, simply ecstatic to find a pony that shared her interests. Divi simply trailed behind the mare, drinking her image and bathing in her voice. Her soft eyes, elegant smile, and graceful movements as she seemingly danced through the crowds.
"Divi? Are you all right?" The question startled Divi when she realized that she was starring. "I'm fine, just a little tired." "Here, let's go sit down.", Hymm responded cheerfully.
The cool breeze was refreshing as it blew over the hill they were sitting on. "I don't think I've ever met a friend as great as you, Divi." Divi turned to the mare that now gazed at her. Divi just looked at the mare before her, thinking When did I ever create such beauty?"Your probably the best friend I've ever had. I just.... feel safe with you." Hymm said as she inched closer. "Me too, Hymm. It's like you being near me brightens the world." Divi said as she returned Hymm's advance.
Soon they were pressed tightly together, starring as the sun started to set over Ponyville. She was basking in the feeling of Hymm's wings pressing into her side when Hymm said,"Why do you always wear those strange bands on your legs and horn?"
The question jarred Divi back to reality when she head it. How? HOW!? My seals shouldn't be visible to anypony! How can she see them? Unless... The facts hit her as if she had been hit directly with a sonic rainboom. She's in love with me. Divi's heart sank when she realized this. No, I've let it happen again. Why, WHY did I ever lay eyes on her? WHY did I keep visiting her? WHY did I let myself fall for her? I let my heart open and now, once again, I must rip myself away from everything I care about.
"Divi? What's wrong?" asked Hymm. Divi just turned away, trying to hide the tears now streaming her face. Hymm reached for her but her hoof was quickly smacked away. Divi could feel her seals losing their strength, she was losing control of them. If this kept up they would break.
"Leave, Hymm.", Divi said weakly.
The sorrow in her voice stabbed Hymm. "What's wrong, Divi? Let me help."
"NO! Leave, you stupid mare! Just...." screamed Divi before she caught herself. Her voice cracking, she said,"...just go." Divi was using all her might to keep her seals from breaking. Hymm Stood there, a hoof over her mouth. She let a single tear fall before running down the hill. Divi fell into to the grass and waited until she was sure Hymm was gone before she let out a wail that would make a star cry.
Storm clouds gathered over her and unleashed their torrent as she wept herself to sleep, alone, on the hill.
