Pushing The Line

by Prince Aeon


Chapter 1: A year in a life

Emma

For now a year, Aeon is teaching me my powers, in my dreams. Strangely when I wake up, I remember everything he taught me. I need him back, for now a year I waited every night for his return, I've waited enough. I sat on the couch and sighed.
"Anything wrong Princess?"
The voice was Sharpe's, one of my two guardians, she is special... She is a blind pegasus, but her others senses are better than any other living ponies.
"It's okay Sharpe, I was just thinking about something..."
"You want him back don't you Emma?"
"How can you tell?"
"I can feel it..."
She will always surprise me.
"...maybe I can give you a tip, you will maybe find informations about Aeon in the Canterlot's Archives..."
"Sharpe, Aeon told me that nopody but Alicorns knew that he existed before we've met."
"Princess, I meant Celestia's restricted archives, nopony ever knew what was in there, maybe you could find something."

She was right, I could possibly discover something in Canterlot. I cannot use teleportation like Aeon, but with magic, I can move faster than if I would fly with my wings. The sun was setting down and I cast the transportation spell, turning me into a purple ball of light dashing through the sky.

I entered the castle of Canterlot into a room from the window, two ponies we're in the bed, they didn't heard me, I was silent like the wind. I rushed outside and ran into the corridors, I was not welcome here, even if I am an Alicorn, Celestia still don't considerate me as one of them. For her, I am a simple pony that is now breaking in the castle. I ran downstairs, no guards? That's weird... I entered the archives without problems, there were scrolls everywhere. I went to the restricted door of Celestia private archive. It's was locked. I simply unlocked it with magic, but I felt magic, coming out of the lock, it was a trap, Celestia knew that I was here.
I search the scrolls, Aeon, Aeon, Aeon, where is he? I spotted a scroll that was talking about other Alicorns, Princess Flare, Princess Tide, Prince Draft and Princess Nucleus. All betrayed by Celestia... I memorised their names. I finally found an old scroll, there were only four words on it: "Aeon Temple Everfree Time".
Aeon have a temple in the everfree forest? I heard a noise behind me I turned around, ten guards were pointing their spears at me and behind them, SHE was there... Celestia...
"Late night reading Emma?"

Come ride with me, Through the veins of history, I'll show you how god, Falls asleep on the job
And how can we win, When fools can be kings, Don't waste your time, Or time will waste you...
