//------------------------------// // Chapter 11: Spilling It // Story: Silver's New Beginning // by Silver The Hedgepony //------------------------------// "Th-the truth....? I-I mean... Wh-what do you mean by that?" Silver somehow squeaked out. He felt the magic around his body squeezing him tight. But it gave him a strange tingly feeling. "You know what we mean." Celestia said setting Silver back down. "I think all three of us know you aren't from around here. My sister Luna and myself are the only two alicorns left. And not to mention no other pony in all of Equestria has a horn such as yourself. So explain." Silver felt his heart sink. Things were running so smooth for him. Somehow the Princesses had seen through him. Now what? He couldn't possible tell them that he came from another universe. They would probably have him killed. Or at least sent somewhere for crazy people. "Sister. Maybe he is a changeling! He must be!" Luna said to her sister. "Actually. It was me!" Said a strangely familiar voice. "I sent him here. He wished for it! He wanted a new life. And I granted it for him." A strange glowing ball of energy was floating from one of the windows. "Frack!" Silver shouted quickly and covered his mouth. "Oh? You know who this is?" Celestia said looking at the ball. "Why yes. I am a cosmic being after all! I opened a portal that went from Silvers destroyed world. To here." Celestia and Luna exchanged a glance of interest as the sat down and looked at Frack. Silver was also a little intrigued as he sat down to listen to Fracks tale. "You see." He started. "I traveled the universe far and wide. Every now and again I tried to meet a being who was miserable. Alone. I thought I would be able to help them. Now I normally wouldn't be able to make a portal by myself. But after traveling for almost 3 centuries I found Silver here. He was powerful. I managed to borrow some of his power to open a portal here! To Equestria! Hoping I could help him start this 'New Life' he craved so much." He finished. "So..." Silver said as he walked closer to the small little blue ball. "You grant... Wishes for people who have.. Problem like I did?... But... Why me?" Silver asked. "Kid. You got a lot of talent. Remember those spells Twilight wanted you to read? The reason you were able to learn them so quickly was because of how used to it you are. That horn of yours. Has tremendous power. It's so powerful you can actually see the greenish glow coming from it. Not to mention the white looks quite amazing." Frack finished. The princesses were speechless. Never before had they seen or heard of this before. "So... Tell us...." Celestia finally spoke up as the two were talking. "Who.. Or rather WHAT were you before you came here?" Silver sighed. "Ok look.... If I tell you two.... I want you to promise... This is staying between all of us... This will never leave the room..." They all nodded. Silver soon began telling them about his adventures as a hedgehog. How he tried saving the future from Iblis. How he had nearly killed one of the greatest hero's as he was tricked by a foul shadow created called Mephiles. And how he had lost his best friend Blaze as she sacrificed herself to save the future. The princesses were quiet. They gave an immense sigh as Silver finished his tale. "Well this is certainly strange day." Luna said. "I never expected it to happen... But... Well... Strange... Is all I can say...." Celestia stayed quiet. "I hope... I didn't do anything to mess this up... I really was hoping nothing bad would happen but... I suppose that didn't work out to well." Silver said. Both Luna and Celestia only nodded. "We understand." They said. Celestia continued. "Please. This new life you want created. Stay where you would like here. But we want to keep you here at the castle for a few weeks. We would personally like to train you to see the full extent of your abilities." Silver felt a small smile spread across his face. "Oh thank you! Thank you!" He shouted as he ran up to them and hugged them both. "Yes well. Please settle down." Luna said with a smile as her and her sister turned to walk back to their quarters. "Please go find Twilight and the others. Your rooms should be ready so rest up should you feel the need." Celestia said. Silver nodded as he turned to look at Frack. "Well where have you been mister?" He said trying to sound stern. "I was watching over you the whole time Silvs. You never left my sight heh." At this Silvers eyes shot open as he felt his face turn a little red. "Oh well that's just great to know..." He said sarcastically. "Well I hope you won't let that stop you from having fun. Hahaha! I'll be off Silvs! Ill see you again soon!" He said as he flew off to one of the windows and disappeared. Silver shook his head and smiled a little. He was glad now he was able to spill his secret to at least some one who can keep it. "Maybe.... Things won't be so bad after all..." Silver said as he opened the door leading to the main courtyard as he left to his room. And as he was leaving there was a familiar figure who stayed behind. Somone who was flying high in the corner just listening to private conversation the 4 had. "This.... Is just insane.... No way." She said as she flew off quickly and quietly behind Silver to confront him in his room.
