//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Two lifes // Story: Pushing The Line // by Prince Aeon //------------------------------// This day Emma I stayed silent, never Aeon told me about anything of this. Neither this sister thing... do I have a sister too? I... don't even know... Flare was also Aeon's pupil and he saved her from Celestia too. Now we will team up together against a common enemy. "You and I are not enough Emma, we need more Alicorn to convince Celestia. We must find my sister... and I think that I know where she hid." We when out of the cave. The sun was rising. "Aaaah, so long since I've seen this... too long!" I looked at Flare and a tear was pearling on her eye, it's been so long since she saw a sunrise. I turned around and saw a little earth pony foal looking at us. He was seeing Two Alicorns, one on fire. He couldn't know if he should be afraid or not. He was shaking. Flare looked at the foal and said. "Dream, little pony, because it's the best thing that can happen to you." She jumped in the air and deployed her wings, I followed her. "So Flare, Where are we going?" I asked. "There is a waterfall, when we were foals, Aeon was bringing me and my sister to it. My sister loved this place, the splashing water create sparkles and shining glares. She called it the «NightFall»" Looking at Flare each time she talks about her sister, I could see that she miss her. We followed a watercourse, suddenly the water started to fall. There wasn't any visible landing of the water, only a hole in the ground where the water was falling into. Flare looked at me. "Follow me." She dashed towards the ground, like a fireball, she followed the path of the water without touching it. For my part, I did my best to try to not getting wet. Finally there was an underground lake. Flare landed like a feather. I followed her lead. I looked around and it was beautiful, the splashing water with the light from the hole we just came from, there was stars everywhere around us. Flare was looking at a rock on the ground, it was saying "Speak your name and see if you are worth it.". She didn't wait another second. "Flare!" What happened was impressive, close of the gravel where we were, the water formed a tunnel in the water itself. "Come on" We went inside the water, well, the tunnel. The way down was not long, the underground lake wasn't deep, the water was closing the way behind us. I noticed in the water that there was a light moving around us. "My sister is the kind of shy one as I am the confident. You know, she always cheered me up as I was doing the same for her." Suddenly, the light in the water went straight in the direction of Flare. Without warning, Flare turned around, she saw the light. She smile. "TIDE!!" At the moment that the light was going to come out of the water, the water bulged and formed a hoof that became real out of the liquid. After that there was legs first, then a head came out, the torso, the wings, the back legs and the end of the tail stayed as water. A beautiful blue mare Alicorn formed itself out of the water and jumped on Flare. "FLARE! You missed me so much sister! Where have you been! I was worried for thousands of years!" "You missed me too sister. I was also worried for you." Tears came out of Flare's eyes. Tide was already crying to see again her sister.¸ "You came back in one piece. Thanks Aeon for this miracle." Tide started to hug her sister harder. My heart was melting, I almost cried too from the beauty of the moment. "Tide, we are here... because of Aeon." "Oh! Yes, where are my manners, I forgot to introduce me to your friend." She turned in my direction, trying to hold her tears. "I am Tide, Princess of Water, and you are?" "Emma, Princess of Hope." "She is Aeon's bride" Flare added. "Really, how nice, this is wonderful actually." I told the whole story to Tide so she can understand what was going on. "Oh my... I hope that we will convince Celestia, also the fact that she doesn't really like us. Aftee escaping her I despite the idea of being separated from my sister even if that would be safer for us. I stayed here to train and meditate like Aeon told us. I sometimes go out of my hiding place to go see Draft." I was excited to hear his name. "Draft! The Prince of Air! You know where he is! This is amazing!" Flare was not enjoying the situation. "You came out of your hiding place! After the sacrifice that Aeon did to protect us! How do you want me to not be afraid to lose you sister if you just reveal yourself!" Flare was angry and in tears at the same time, scared for her sister. "Don't worry sister I am not that stupid, I did this camouflage skin spell that Aeon teached us to meet him disguised as a Pegasus." "Why did you left your hiding place anyway!" "I... love Draft, I couldn't fight it, I just needed to see him sometimes." Flare face changed, even with that she still had tears. "I... understand sis... I forgive you..." Tide hugged her sister. "I knew you would understand" "So, where are we aiming for?" I asked. Tide looked at me. "Cloudsdale"
