//------------------------------// // DarkSparkle’s Open PMs // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// I know you’re here. I knew you’d join. I would have done. It wasn’t difficult to track your connection. Actually, it was terribly easy. I kept monitoring the site to make sure I was the one who caught it first. Don’t worry, I changed it before anyone else found out. I think it worked. I mean, I know it worked. They are so obsessed in finding me that they won’t even think of looking for you. And since I’ll be back soon, I expect for them to stop looking. I hope they do. DarkSparkle I know you didn’t join to read stories. I know how confusing it must be for you now, and I know you’re searching for a way to try and find out. You can’t, you know. The site is protected. Even I can’t find anything without help. I know I said I covered for you, but there’s a difference between hiding and finding. If somepony wants to hide a secret here they will. That’s even if they share the secret here on the first place. The aethernet has developed a lot in the last few years, but not to that point. Please stop what you’re doing. I know how much it must hurt, but there’s no point. The only pony who might have known is Sombra and he went insane. I’ve tried to talk to Starswirl, but he wasn’t interested. That’s one of the things about idols—they are only interested in their work. Princess Celestia, and everypony else, can’t remember because of the Amnesia Spell, and I don’t th8nk I can find anything more. I’ve already gone through a quarter of Sombra’s library. Chances of me suddenly finding something are small. I know I’m asking a lot, but can you accept what you have and move on? Even if we don’t have all the pieces we see the general idea. Please? DarkSparkle Thank you for not harming Spike. I know you could have. I mean I know you had the ability and strength to. Even if he’s a dragon, he’s still a baby dragon. I’m not sure the flame would have been enough if you’d have... I think the two of you would have gotten along. He became friend with a changeling before they became reformed. Did I tell you that? Everypony thought he was brainwashed, myself included, but he still did it. I’ll have a word with him when I get back. He had no business going there in the first place! And I know he won’t learn from his mistake, he never does. Or maybe he just does this to spite me? I guess that’s what little brothers do. DarkSparkle I know you’ve read my messages. Well, technically, I don’t, but I know that you have opened them. I only hope you’ve read them. At some point I’m sure you will, but... Why do you keep on doing this? I know you’re not evil. The friendship rainbow wouldn’t have allowed to do that. I also know it’s easy asking forgiveness when you’re the one who got hurt. In the past it was us who forgave... Nightmare Moon, Discord, Trixie, Sunset, Starlight... with you, we’re the ones who were in the wrong and it... it hurts. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry :( I held you heart for a minute and I know exactly how much it hurt. All this time I didn’t know, I couldn’t even suspect and I should have. We all should have! Everypony though it was stupid for me to give you my heart, even myself. Now I know it was the best thing I could have done. DarkSparkle I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! It never should have happened. Even if I can’t see what it was, even if I don’t think I’ll ever find out I know it was wrong. We were wrong. I just... I feared you when all this began. For a moment I even hated you. That time you went to Ponyville, I was terrified and I wanted to protect my friends. For a moment I almost lost myself. I haven’t told anypony this, and I don’t think I will. I know that my friends and Princess Celestia would forgive me, and Starswirl wouldn’t even care, but I’m know sure I can forgive myself. Only you can. I’m not saying this because I’m asking you to, it’s just that not everypony is like me. They are good ponies, and dragons, and griffins, changelings, and so on... Please give them a chance. Don’t let what happened to you happen to others. DarkSparkle I went to see your tribe yesterday. I just approached from a distance to take a look. They let me. I think they felt I had been touched by your heart. I thought if I should say something, but... what can I say? What would be suitable? Based on my research I’m not sure they even remember what happened. Part of me wishes they did, but I’m also glad they don’t. They have truly become a different species from what they were. You might be the last of your kind... A siren told me there used to be other, smaller tribes beyond the west ocean, but there just as well might not be. If there were would you go search for them? Or would you stay here? I find myself wondering if I should do the same. DarkSparkle I spoke to Starlight today, she’s still worried. Spike keeps insisting he has things under control and she won’t go searching for me like last time. Hopefully Sunset won’t either. I’m sorry they hurt you. If I had my heart back then I would have told them what the situation was, I would have explained, but you were using it. You know I’m glad. (Not that they hurt you, but that you had my heart.) It made you change even if for a moment. I know that you’ve changed even more now. I hope it’s what you were hoping for. Sometimes I’m still not sure whether I made a huge mistake or not. I know returning your heart wasn’t a mistake, but everything I did before that... Please tell me. Is it too late for us to do the right thing? Is it too late for me to do the right thing? DarkSparkle
