//------------------------------// // The Missing PMs // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Mom, I’m worried about Dark. She’s gotten herself deep in trouble this time and I’m not sure she could get herself out of it. Whatever she did when chasing the Windigo changed her. Five times she blubbered out about Earth on the site. Good thing she’s not the first so everyone thought she was roleplaying or something, but the way this is going someone will pick it up. And somehow I think that’s the least of our troubles. LightSparkle I know. Just because I’m calm and reserved doesn’t mean I don’t see the danger. And I’m perfectly aware of what Twilight has done. I definitely don’t approve, but at this point there’s nothing we could do. Yes, I want to make this very clear. You are not to do anything on the matter. Things are complicated as they are and if I were to share what I know they would become far more complicated. Celestia Here we go again :/ And here I naively thought things had changed. Things are dangerously scary and each time you randomly keep secrets that could change everything. Come to think of it is there any danger you’d actively helped out with? I keep reading about all the stuff you did centuries ago... were they even true? LightSparkle Sunshine, I know you’re upset, but this isn’t going to resolve anything. I could tell you everything and more and it would only make you shut yourself in a cave for a few years. At least trust me on this. I have tried and the results are always the same. Even with everything the girls have been through, you are still not prepared. Please think logically, as I taught you. How many things have happened in the last ten years? Dangers that would destroy Equestria pop up once per year sometimes even more often. Why do you think it’s been different in the past? Celestia Oh, really? Well, I know of a few instances, but you can’t make me believe that you’ve been secretly protecting Equestria all this time! I remember the calm when you raised me, or failed to do so. Who protected everything then? LightSparkle Cadence did. Trust me. In a few decades you’ll be ready to start learning more about the balance of things. But that is for another time. I have gone through my old diaries and can’t find anything significant. Sadly, I must admit that a few things were destroyed during our disagreement with Luna. She’s tried to learn more from the dreamscape, but so far it hasn’t helped. Celestia Yes, she told me about it. :/ Apparently there are a few years missing, whatever that means. And Simile’s father wasn’t of any help either. (I swear he’s worse than you!) I never thought that sirens would be more helpful with this problem. LightSparkle I can’t say I approve of you spending so much time with them. Even if they have changed they still have... certain character flaws. And furthermore, I doubt they’d be much help on the matter. I suspect you’ve also attempted to talk to Discord? Celestia You quite confident about everything. And they are fine! You’re right about Discord. He just keeps going on about the Windigo begin own of those, and that Sombra had something to do with things... I really don’t know. So little things make sense! If the Windigo was so powerful why doesn’t he just conquer Equestria? Why hasn’t he done so in the past? The only thing I managed to pry out of Twilight was that he “woke up” when Flurry Heart was born. He also claims that you were responsible for the death of his family. Actually no, that you know who was responsible. Twilight doesn’t make much sense, but neither did the Windigo. Are you sure he isn’t one of the ancient enemies that you locked away somehow and forgot all about it? :/ LightSparkle Sunny, despite what you think I don’t have legions of enemies. Chrysalis, for example, wasn’t an issue until recently. Actually that was something that Cadence was dealing with for a few decades. I still think the wedding made her put down her guard. No matter, she deserved finding a nice stallion to be with. On that note, don’t worry about not finding anyone suitable, dear. You have lots of time. Don’t rush things and you’ll be happy. :) Celestia I’ve gotten used to you changing the topic constantly. And don’t bother shocking me. I’ve lived with guilt for years so you can’t say anything I haven’t thought of. LightSparkle I know. And I’m honestly sorry about that. I won’t pretend that I have a good reason to banish you. It was more a problem of me than anything you ever did. But I’m so glad we can talk like this now. You’re the second child I had and are very dear to me. Celestia Is it possible that the Windigo is another child you’d forgotten you had banished? LightSparkle *chuckle* Wouldn’t that be the best cliche to attack Equestria? No, it’s not. And Luna never had children because of her tastes. No, this is something completely new. Or old and forgotten. Celestia Do you think Sombra had anything to do with it? He caused some serious issues back in the day. The crystal ponies still trembled at his mention. LightSparkle Doubtful. Sombra was a cute stallion who slept his way to power then messed with something he couldn’t control. Not the first, I might add, but him being a unicorn made matters worse. I doubt he’s connected in any way. Celestia Next you’ll tell me you sent him to the Crystal Empire as an envoy or something. :/ LightSparkle Lol. No :) He was born in the Crystal Empire. Well, rather in the outpost that became it. Because of the effects of the frozen north the original tribe lived underground. The caves everypony came to fear were initially the original city. It was called the Crystal Empire because they covered the cave walls. Celestia Wait! If he’s of the original tribe, where did the crystal ponies come from? They are entirely different from any of the other pony tribes. LightSparkle I’m so proud of you, sweetie. And also so sorry. :( Celestia ? LightSparkle FORGET! DELETE EVERYTHING UP TO THIS POINT! Celestia Hey, Sunny. I know you don’t like to be disturbed, but was wondering how you’re doing. Exams going fine? Celestia Yes, Mom... Exams are going fine, because that’s more important that a crazy indestructible Windigo! I’m worried about Dark. She’s gotten herself deep in trouble this time and I’m not sure she could get herself out of it. Whatever she did when chasing the Windigo changed her. Five times she blubbered out about Earth on the site. Good thing she’s not the first so everyone thought she was roleplaying or something, but the way this is going someone will pick it up. Were you able to find any information regarding it, by chance maybe? LightSparkle Sorry, sweetie. :( There’s not much I’ve found in my diaries, and Luna hasn’t managed to learn anything from the dreamscape. Celestia Yeah, Simile told me about that. :/ This makes so little sense! Argh! LightSparkle Don’t worry, I believe in you :) Just don’t do anything rash, okay? I care about you. Celestia I know. And I care about you, but this really has me worried. We’re working on something with True and Simile. I can’t say more, but I think it might be the key to our problem. LightSparkle So secretive :) You really are my daughter. Celestia Don’t remind me. As much s I hate myself for it, I think it’s better this way. And don’t try any spells on me! I’ve locked my mind. LightSparkle I won’t :) Take care, Sunny. Celestia Thanks for writing, Mom. Later. LightSparkle
