//------------------------------// // Prophecy, Messages, And Gifts // Story: Rose's Broken Soul // by MorningRose //------------------------------// “Rose, Twilight there is something you should know. My husband foresaw that a powerful enemy will come through the portal and attack us. The enemy will come from earth and is called Kailomar. He will absorb Luna and my magic that it will change him from a pony into a creature we have never heard of. He will have the strength of a hundred thousand bears, the speed of a thousand cheetahs, the combined intelligence of a hundred gods, the hearing of a hundred owls and the smell of a thousand dogs. His body will have the claws of a griffon, eagle wings, a unicorn horn, a snake for a tail, ears like a pony, nose of a wolf and teeth like a shark.” said Celestia taking a break. Luna taking over said “My brother also said that both of you are the only ones to eat him. How we do not know. However, it will happen exactly three years from today at four in the afternoon. We don’t know for sure but there is a good chance you will both die. I wish Celestia and I could help but by the time you get here we will already have our magic and strength absorbed by him. Star Swirl also foresaw that you will have two two-year-old foals when you fight him. One will be a colt and the other a filly. Your colt will be jealous of his sister for he will want to be a filly. Mainly because he will never remember you and never feel comfortable as a colt. Most of his friends will be fillies. His friends will realize how he feels and will never say anything until he does. Since you both will most likely be dead there won’t be anypony capable of casting the spell you created Rose. He will be sad all his life because he will never be his true self or know his mothers.” Twilight shocked at this revelation asked “Celestia, what are the chances we will die? We need to know so we can make the proper preparations for them. We will need to set aside sixteen years worth of bits, along with special gifts for each of them.” Celestia with tears in her eyes answered “My dearest Twilight and Rose, I’m sorry to say that the percentage of you dying is ninety-nine percent. In other words, there is only a one percent chance you will survive. Also, Rose, there is an inheritance left by your Grandfather for you and Twilight. Or to be more precise your foals. The inheritance is a total of fifty million bits to ensure that they will have a life without worries for money. But they will only have access to it after they learn the lesson to treat others as equals and the true value of a bit.” This time it was Rose’s turn to be shocked as she said “ In other words, Twilight and I will only have two years with our foals. Grandma why is destiny so cruel to our family.I mean your husband my Grandfather was hunted down and killed, I was almost killed by my father, my mother has had to live without knowing her heritage, my brother is going to lose his sister and Twilight and my foals will never get to meet their mothers. Do you see what I mean by cruel?” Luna looking solemn said while handing over a rose quartz crystal “We don’t know why destiny is cruel to our family. However, I can show you how to store a spell in a gem and bind it so it lasts for twenty years and can only be used once. I can teach you this Rose and Twilight because your magic surpasses mine and Celestia’s. You can use this technique to store the gender change spell you created so that your colt could be the filly she truly is without fear. You can also use this technique to store a message for your foals. I know because your grandfather used it to leave you both a message. To begin the message say your name.” Rose takes the stone in her hoof and said “My name is Morning Rose. I’m the granddaughter of Celestia and Starswirl the Bearded.” The moment Rose finished speaking there is a surge of magic from the stone. As the magic got stronger an image of Rose’s grandfather appeared. The image looked right at Rose and said “Since the spell has been activated I assume my granddaughter Rose and her mare are in front of me and has just been married. My dearest granddaughter congratulations on marrying Twilight Sparkle. I am so proud of you both. Now that the pleasantries are over it is time for me to tell you something important. Twilight, Rose, I want you to know that even though you will die fighting Kailomar your children will be taken care of by your friends. Mainly Rainbow Dash will teach them to be loyal to their friends, Applejack will raise them to be honest with others and especially to themselves, Fluttershy will show them the benefits of being kind, Rarity will teach them to always help those who need it and finally Pinkie Pie will show them how to always have fun. Even though they won’t know you your friends will take them to your graves every Sunday and tell them about you. So don’t worry about your children because their magic, when used together, is stronger than all the princesses combined including yours. Anyways that’s all I have time for. Goodbye, my granddaughter and her mare. I’ll see you on the Elysian Plains.” As the magic faded both Twilight and Rose broke out crying. While crying Rose looked at everypony and said “Grandfather truly knew how to set our hearts at ease about leaving behind our children. I don’t know about my mare but I say we do what we can for our children. I also would like to leave the transgender spell contained and ready to be cast by our son. All he will have to do to cast the spell is wish upon the stone on his and his sisters eighth birthday.” Twilight sobbing said “I agree with Rose. However, I also say we should leave them a private message. I also think we should leave the day of luck spell contained in the stone for our daughter. It will activate the moment she touches it on her seventh birthday. This way they both have a special spell from both of us.” Rose nodded in agreement with Twilight as Luna said “ Okay everypony I need you to leave. What I’m going to teach Twilight and Rose is dangerous and could endanger everypony around them if it goes wrong. I’m able to protect myself but not others if it goes wrong. So please leave as soon as possible.” Once everypony was gone Luna turned to Twilight and Rose and said “Okay you two to record a message like Star Swirl did you have to take a gem that is pure like the rose quartz crystal that was given to Rose and hold it in your magic. Let the magic build all the way till it starts to pain you slightly. Then focus on what you want them to know then release the magic. The stone will then record everything you say afterward. To store a spell you must take a diamond and cast the spell you want it to store. However, you then direct it at the diamond and set the requirements upon it so it doesn’t accidentally activate. Do you understand what you must do? If you do here are a ruby and sapphire. The ruby is for the message to your daughter and the sapphire is for your son.” Twilight and Rose nod. They then take the sapphire and did what Luna said. As soon as it glowed Rose and Twilight knew it was recording. Rose said “My dearest son or should I say, daughter. That’s right I know you are transgender. There is no need to be afraid of these feelings for your mother Twilight and I love you for who you are. I don't have much time left for I want to let your mother talk to you. Just know that the diamond necklace that we leave you will have a spell ready to be released that will change you into a filly on your eighth birthday if you wish upon it out loud. Follow your heart and trust in your sister for your magic is stronger when it is used together. But now I‘m going to let your mother speak to you.” Twilight stepped forward and said” Your mother Rose is right. Follow your heart and trust in your sister and our friends. I also want you to know that we will always be with you in your heart.we love you our beautiful daughter. Be happy and live a full life with your family and friends. Goodbye, my beautiful Icy Mist Rose.” As soon as they finished speaking the magic ended. Once it was done they gave they sapphire to Luna and took the ruby from her. Once more they cast the spell. Once it was recording Twilight said “” My dearest Twilight Rose, I’m your mother Twilight Sparkle and this is your mother Morning Rose. We are recording this so you can at least see us once. I also want to say support your brother for he may be born a colt but in his heart, he is a filly. Because of this, he will need your support more than ever. Just know that even though we will die know that we love you and your brother with all our hearts.” Rose stepped forward and said ”As your mother said family should always be there for each other.your sister will need your support. Know that we will always be with you in your heart my daughter. For though our bodies are dead our souls live on in you and your sister. Goodbye, my daughter, we love you and please live a full and happy life with family and friends.” Once she finished the recording stopped and Luna looked at them with pride in her eyes. Luna after recovering from the pride she felt said “The messages you left for your children are absolutely perfect. Now it is time to prepare the spells for them. If you will take these diamonds and cast the spells you want them to contain. While casting the spells you must also think about the conditions you want them to have. That is all there is to it but be careful for if you lose your concentration you will die.” As Luna finished speaking she pulled out two diamond necklaces. One was a pink diamond and the other was a blue diamond. Rose took the pink diamond necklace in her magic and drawing upon the magic she had stored cast the spell she created while thinking of the conditions for it to activate. There is a bright flash of magic and the necklace took on a slight purple hue. Rose exhausted collapses to the ground exhausted for the spell took a lot of her magic. Twilight having seen Rose this weak once before goes over to Rose and gives her a hug while quietly checking her pulse. Once she was sure Rose was okay she took the blue diamond necklace and cast the luck for a day spell upon it. Just like with Rose’s spell there is a bright flash of magic. However, unlike Rose’s Twilight’s necklace took on a red hue making the diamond the same color as her coat. Twilight magic's both necklaces to Luna before falling asleep right next to her mare.
