//------------------------------// // The truth (part 2) // Story: Firestarter // by Northguard //------------------------------// A few minutes later Spike let out a loud belch as a scroll appeared in the flames that came out of his mouth. Twilight levitated the scroll with her magic, which was now had a red glow instead of purple. She opened the scroll and read a sentence before reading out loud. "Dear Twilight Sparkle. From what I understood of that rushed letter, you have stumbled over something that we need to further investigate. Your former teacher. Princess Celestia. P.S: When you read this sentence you and your new friend will be teleported to the throne room in Canterlot." *poof* *poof* Blaze and Twilight appeared in the middle of the Canterlot throne room facing the royal sisters. When Celestia saw Blaze she gave an expression that was unreadable to a normal pony, but quickly returned to her trademark smile. Once Blaze made eyecontact with Celestia she let out a gasp that was drowned by Twilight's voice greeting the princesses. "Twilight! What happened to you?!" Luna exclaimed. "Well.....she found out that an Alicorn had suppressed my magic and she removed it, crazy right? My new look is the result of my magic being freed I guess." Twilight explained and pointed at Blaze. "Very well then. Now, care to introduce us to your friend?" Celestia said in a soft voice. Though Blaze understood that Celestia already knew her. "Celestia and Luna, this is Blaze. Blaze Firestarter." Twilight said while gesturing towards Blaze. At mention of the name 'Firestarter' Celestia and Luna did a double take that went right over Twilight's head, but was seen by Blaze. "Well then. Blaze, what brought you to Ponyville?" Celestia asked with a curious look that Blaze recognized. The realization for Blaze was so much for her that she completely shut down and just stared at the sisters in silence. "Um....Blaze? They asked you a question.......hello?" Twilight said and waved a hoof in front of Blaze without getting a reaction. "Daybreaker?" Blaze whispered. "What was that? Speak up please." Celestia said. "Daybreaker and Luna? Is that you?" Blaze asked. Celestia got an uncertian look on her face that lasted for under a second as she stepped off her throne and walked up to Blaze with Luna behind her. "No. I'm sorry, but you must have confused us with someone else." Celestia said. "Why are you lying?" Blaze asked. Twilight was left speechless as the conversation continued. "I'm not lying. What would I gain from ly-" "Stop it." Blaze cut in. "Stop? Stop what?" Celestia asked as a sweat drop became visible on her forehead. "Stop lying." Blaze said as she held out a hoof and sent a shock wave of energy at the sisters. When it hit them Celestia's mane and tail bursted into flames (which quickly changed into a golden like orange mane and tail) and her eyes became draconic with yellow irises. Luna's fur turned jet black, her mane turned a light blue and her eyes became turquoise with slit pupils as well (no sharp teeth). "There, better now." Blaze said as a smile began to form on her face. "After two thousand years of searching I can finally see your faces again." she continued as she began walking towards them with Twilight just standing in the background with her jaw almost hitting the floor. "Is this where you've been the entire time?" Blaze continued as she drew closer. Celestia (or Daybreaker) took a nervous step back like she was afraid of the pegasus in front of her. She lowered her head slightly as she sat down with her head hanging in shame it seemed, but this quickly changed when Blaze flew up to head level and gave her a big hug. When this happened Celestia's face turned to shock. "You're...not mad at us?" she asked as her shock kept growing. Blaze released the hug as she looked at her with warm smile only a mother could do. "Of course not. That was only the first hundred years. If you came back then you would have been grounded." Blaze said half-jokingly as she landed on the floor again and turned to Luna. "I forgot my anger for you so long ago. All I ever wanted the last one thousand and five hundred years was to see you again." she said as she hugged Luna as well. When Blaze and Luna separated Twilight came walking up between the three. "Okay so you're their mother and they are your daughters, and you haven't seen each other for over 2000 years. And now we're just gonna take it like it's an everyday revelation? HAVE I MISSED SOMETHING?!?!" she ended with a shout of confusion. Blaze sat in silence before she let out a giggle. "Perhaps I should tell you everything from the beginning. Then maybe you'll understand better." Blaze said as she looked back at her daughters. "And maybe I'll get some answers myself."
