I had my ears lowered as I felt like I was being yelled at or scolded by an adult. I lowered myself to the ground before hiding behind the silver alicorn. I watched as he came closer huffing a bit. I watched as the silver one hold her wings out.
“Solis be nice” I looked up watching her turn her head towards me “Svilc meet Solis” I poked my head out noticing his eyes opened in shock.
“Selene you brought her here and did not tell me!”
“I didn’t bring her here Solis. She just appeared here” I blinked softly as I nodded.
“I just closed my eyes and found myself here. I was attacked recently or a month ago? A large black creature found its way to my heart” I rubbed my chest as I felt myself being pulled into a large hug.
“Oh, my poor dear”
“Selene it’s time you went to work” I watched as the silver alicorn smiled.
“Yes, I am sorry to make our time short” I felt her push me towards the golden alicorn. The scenery changed to a golden landscape with a yellow and red castle. Many dark-furred ponies were standing around staring.
“Am I in trouble?”
“Father! She is tainted!”
“Why is a tainted one here?” I could hear the others speak up.
“Silence! Yes, she is tainted and the law forbids tainted ones to ever appear in my or our mother’s castle. However, she is a special one. This is your sister Svilc” I felt his wing on my back as I stood frozen.
“Sister!”
“Sister came to visit!”
“The thief tainted sister” I could hear a mixture of sadness and cheering. I glanced up at him as his eyes were staring at my hoof.
“I see that you got our gift. You know I gave my wife that spell to talk to you, but I never thought this would happen”
“This is weird to me” I heard him chuckle as did the others.
“This is new to every pony my dear.” I watched as he was cut off. His head went up as he was staring off into space “But this is neither the time nor the place to talk really. I half to send you back for now” I felt his wing rest on my head before the darkness took over.
I felt as if I had fallen from a tall building. I let out a loud gasp as I tried to roll over coughing for air. I was panting as I rolled off the bed and onto the floor of the train. I could hear the others freaking out as I was staring at them. I felt myself being picked up and placed next to a dark blue wall of fur.
“Fluffy” I snickered as I leaned against it.
“I am not fat” my ears went up. I glanced up and noticed it was Luna. I needed to crawl into a hole and die.
“I said fluffy, your not fat” I huffed as I could feel her eyes roll in her head. I felt my hooves being pulled out from under me as a bright light entered my eyes.
“I don’t see anything wrong”
“Other than blinding my flank Red”
“Well, I need to make sure you're fine. You were out for a month!” I heard him shriek causing me to groan.
“Red I am fine. I’ll be in Canterlot where you can watch over me”
“Well, no. My sister is still instant you fill your house arrest”
“WHAT!”
“She told me if she pardons you then the other nobles could get a pardon as well. She doesn’t want the ponies to see were playing favorites” my eyesight started to clear causing me to turn and stare at her.
“I can name two ponies she is playing favorites with. One is on this train and to who she wants me to tell all my secrets. The other one is well, she dead” I moved my hoofs hearing Luna chuckle. I noticed Twilight was staring at me in shock.
“You know?”
“Honey, every pony knows. By the nines, I even know you and her doing the horizontal tango in her bed” I could see her face turning red. Her mouth was opening and closing like a fish. I could see her friends staring at her.
“You have a couple of white feathers in your mane Twilight. And from here I can tell they are down feathers that are closer to her body. I also know their hers since they carry her magic” I watched her stare at her hooves in shock.
“I was trying to keep a secret”
“Dear, you were broadcasting it all over. But since I exposed you to this room. I guess I can share some of her secrets” I had a grin on my face as I could hear a groan behind me.
“Silver”
“What! I was just going to say, she is scared of chickens. If you want on her good side then make a chocolate cake with raspberries in the middle with a light vanilla moose covering the whole cake. If you want a date idea, take her to the garden hidden from the nobles or a spa date. She also loves to hide as a normal pony to walk the town”
“Silver have you followed my sister?”
“Nah, Sweet Night, and Sweet tea the twins of my family works in the castle. Their family has been working in the castle for a long while. It also helps that I have a shadow in the castle” I smiled as I could see Luna shaking her head.
“Silver the last time you followed my sister you both ended up on the wrong end of a manticore”
“I won”
“You had the whole tail running through your body with a broken eye socket. You even had a couple of broken legs!”
“How did she heal!?” I turned towards Red before glancing back to Luna.
“I and Necro had to tie her to the bed”
“Kinky” I whipped my head back towards Pinke.
“That was your grandmother Surprise. I don’t want to think about how many poor stallions I found tied to the bed after a night with her. And your ancestor Sour Drop scared me and my Marefriend Sweet Drop at the time” I shuddered at the memory.
“Wait you knew Pinkie’s family?” I nodded. I moved my eyes towards Rarity as I sat up rolling my shoulders.
“Back in the day before Baltimare was named that, it was called Aqua Harbor for the clear blue water that ran into the harbor. Back then mares couldn’t marry each other so we were roommates. But yes I dated Sweet Drop one of her ancestors till she passed. Her grandmother Surprise was dropped off in my family as her parents died. She ran off to marry an earthen hoof.”
“Earthen Hoof?”
“Earth pony. Sorry in my village an earth pony was known as an earthen hoof. Unicorns were magic hooves, and Pegasus were known as Sky hooves. Unicorns would take care of the magic lay lines that ran under the village. They would move them to the area of the village that needed it. You see the fruit and the vegetables that grew in the village were crystal. “ I used my magic to open up my small pocket dimension. Poking my head in I noticed I had a jar of sliced apples. Pulling the jar out I popped the lid open holding it out.
“These are sliced apples.” I watched as Pinkie popped one into her mouth with a smile “I showed Pinkie what a lavender one was” I watched the others take a slice. Red pulled one out and slowly ate it.
“This is a crystal but dang it tastes like an apple” I heard Applejack spoke up. I could see the others were in shock.
“Now the earthen hooves would work on the houses and the farms. They would also work on the rivers. Sky hooves would move the clouds around while helping the earthen hooves to pick fruit from the trees. They would also help with the houses.” I watched as Applejack pulled out another.
“I wish ya had more”
“Oh, I have a small garden in Canterlot. But the majority of the fruit and vegetables I have I get from the village”
“Wait I thought you said Discord destroyed it?”
“No, I said he killed the ponies within it. The village is pretty much intact. It's hidden in the north behind the mountains that sit in the distance from the empire. My grandfather has a barrier over it, but I can pretty much open it and let us through” I felt myself being pressed into Luna as Twilight had her eyes sparkling.
“Can we go?”
