//------------------------------// // Chapter 16: confession // Story: Twilight sparkle lord of death // by Dark1777 //------------------------------// Outside the Canterlot Castle Main Five, Princess Celestia, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor and Spike are sitting tired and tired, all showing mixed emotions on their faces: sadness, anger, disappointment... This is because of the disappearance of a lavender unicorn pony called Twilight Sparkle from their life. The door of the throne room opens and reveals Princess Luna enters with questions and confusion on her face as she sees Twilight's friends, Shining Armor, her sister Celestia, her niece Cadence, and their little dragon Spike sitting desponsely together with the tears on their faces and their eyes swollen for hours. Princess Luna is amazed at the scene where she is witnessing, and they do not even realize her step into the room, as if they were deep in their thoughts. "Sis?" Princess Luna gently called her sister to pull her away from any thought she had, and Luna succeeded in attracting the attention of the other ponies in her room. "Luna? How long have you been here? "Celestia startled herself from thinking when she was called by her sister. "I've just arrived, sis... But it seems that you and others ponies...... were busy thinking about something and didn't pay attention to me when i walked in... Well... Is everything all right, sis? And where's Twilight? "Princess Luna asked while looking around for her first friend since she returned from Nightmare. Twilight's friends, Shining Armor and Spike, bend their heads in shame to be asked about their friend and sister with whom they had turned and walked. "Well... That... "Princess Celestia hesitated, and she don't know how to respond to her sister. She is know that Twilight is Luna's first friend since her return from Nightmare, and that she also knows Twilight has helped her to reconcile with her fellow subject, Twilight has helped her sister to adapt to the present Esquestria after a thousand years. 'How can I ever doubt Twilight after all she has done for me... She took back my little sister I lost to hoof of Nightmare and helped my little sister make friends... What I couldn't do for my sister... How can I explain to Luna what happened,... For what I've told Twilight at the wedding rehearsal, About how I left her and let darkness consume her heart... Same the way I let it happen to Luna a thousand years ago... ' Celestia thinks in regret... Once again she failed... It was a defeat for her sister... And now to her loyal student. Princess Luna noticed the anomaly in their expression: "Why sister? What happened to Twilight Sparkle? I heard your pony guards say there was an attack against Canterlot by Changeling and their leader Chysalis, how could they break through Captain Shining Armor's shield to enter into Canterlot? When we asked your pony guards, they said it was better to hear from you... Sister, do not hide it from us, you know we can find the truth if we want to, and we have no intention of ignoring this, that having a break in a safety squad is a very serious matter that will make our enemies threat to us and our subjects at any time, "Princess Luna said on a serious face, she was always concerned about military matters even though Esquestria was in a thousand years of peace. She never lets her guard down, for it is dangerous to go to their subjects and their kingdoms at any time. After hearing Princess Luna mention a loophole in the security squad that caused the Captain Shining Armor worry about how Princess Luna would react to how he discovered how he allowed the changeling opportunities to cross his hedge, the way he ignored Twilight's warning about counterfeit Cadence and put his own wedding up against the danger that threatened Canterlot in particular and Esquestria in general. "Your Majesty... T... The truth is..." Shining Armor slowly retells things to Princess Luna, from how Chrysalis posing as Cadence, was brainwashed by the queen Chysalis, how Twilight warned her friends and him of Cadence's unusual behavior, of how he saved pseudo-Cadence and put his sister away from his own marriage, and how Twilight's friends left her to comfort pseudo-cadence, who treats them so ill. And Princess Celestia's statement, 'you have so much to think' then left her. "And then real Princess Cadence appeared at wedding, and a forfester revealed her identity Queen Changeling Chysalis together with a plan to draw Twilight's brother's love to Cadence in order to undermine his shield magic so that the Changeling troops could break up the shield, enter into Canterlot and absorb the pony's love and take over Esquestria. Celestia fought Chrysalis but failed, and we fled to find Twilight and retrieve elements of harmony that failed and were captured by Changeling forces... And then..." Applejack resumes story before stopping as she does not have the courage to tell what goes on. Princess Luna asked, "then what?" with her cold voice and angry face, to hear what Twilight's friends, Spike, Shining Armor and her sister were doing in the wedding rehearsal. At that point she was so eager to curse them and slap them because they had said at the wedding rehearsal with her first friend, Pony first befriended her and helped her befriend with other pony on her first Nightmare Night since she had been released from Nightmare, though she had attacked Twilight and her friends while she was Nightmares Moon, yet Twilight considered her friend and friend so often... However, the warm and kind Pony has been abandoned and betrayed so she is angry, but she decides to hear their story and gives them something about her thoughts. All the pony in the room except Princess Cadence felt That Princess Luna was heading directly toward each pony, as they could not stop themselves shudder at hearing her cold voices, even though Princess Celestia was no exception since her sister straddled Nightmares. All the ponies in this room except Cadence feel they are in big trouble for what they are going to say next. "After all we lost and Chysalis nearly seized Canterlot... T... Twilight has appeared... She's defeated entire Changeling army... W... With her new powers, magic and her eyes are black grey... She fought Queen Chrysalis... A... And then... Her shape changed. She was wearing a black suit, black wing grew around her, and her horns were curled up, pointed and black... Her magic is very dark and cold. Then she attacks Chrysalis with dark magic and uses her wings as weapons and defeats the Emperor Changeling... "Princess Celestia restates Twilight's struggle and shudder to recall Twilight's form and magic, even though the cold and fearful feeling is engraved in her mind. Princess Luna's eyes wide open in horror upon hearing what her close friend has become, she had been immersed in that dark power and knew how it would destroy user, unable to imagine what her best friend Twilight Sparkle has gone through. By this time the flames of her anger had reached their zenith and threatened to erupt at any time, she had assumed that nothing could be worse than this... But she was wrong, as what she was about to hear next would lead her to the chasm of despair, something she had never experienced since she was Nightmare Moon and was imprisoned on the Moon prison. They all felt that Princess Luna's rage was about to burst out any time, And they also knew with what was soon to follow that would be the key to releasing that outburst, but they could not stop, as Princess Luna also found the truth and that following her lies only made them more troubled as it would be very bad if Princess Luna were again transforming into Nightmare Moon. Spike swallows the saliva before he gives up on "A... And then... We stop Twilight from killing the Queen... P... Princess Cadence has used her magic to enter Twilight's heart and tries to repair her heart and save her from dark magic that possessed her, for we all think she is too hurt and angry with us all except Princess Cadence who is consumed by Dark Magic... B... But... When Princess Cadence comes to her heart... Well..." Spike doesn't dare to keep him afraid he won't be able to hold back his tears from what he's about to say. "Continue!" Princess Luna knew she would not like what she was going to hear, but she decided she would not avoid it. All ponies in this room bowed their heads, some of them started to weep, and no one had the courage to say what followed, and they were all afraid to tell that painful truth, and it shattered their hearts to remember what their friend, sister, student has paid for their stupid mistakes... The throne room was now silent, with only the cries of some ponies. Luna began to feel impatient for waiting their response, when she was about to use the Royal Canterlot Voice to request her answer, then princess Cadence looked up to tell Luna about what she had seen in Twilight's heart, her eyes were swollen and red, and her body weary of what had happened, since her fight with Queen Chrysalis to this day, she hadn't yet to receive medical attention, her body filled with wounds when she tried to find the way to escape under Crystal cave. Despite the fact that her body is praying for rest and care, she has no interest in the pain she endured compared to the experience of her younger sister Twilight Sparkle now. "When I use my magic to enter her heart... I... I... I... I couldn't feel any of her feelings... Hic..."Her tears began to fall when she said" No one emotion: love, hate, sadness, happy... To exist in her heart... It's totally empty... Hic... All her feelings disappeared as they never existed... Hic... Her heart is not like the heart of any pony I have ever seen. T... There's only emdless of darkness and cold in her heart... Huhu... I... I don't really want to believe all I see is the truth. But Twilight has told us that everything is real... Both her soul and her heart are now empty... huhu..." finaly Princess Cadence falls to the floor crying in her impower. Shining Armor walked back to his fiance and rubbed her back to comfort her and went on to say what was going on. "Twily said she was not under any dark magic and that she had no intention of killing queen Chysalis, then she turned to warn queen not to come near Esquestria again and let the queen and her troops out of Canterlot... Although she spared the Queen,... She still doesn't forgive us, even though we're sorry and beseech her, but she just left, a... And we don't know where she went, we went to Ponyville to search for her and try to beg her to stay with us, we asked Ponyville's developers and search in the library but we still didn't find her or even a little hint about where she would go... That's all... Majesty" Shining Armor shed tears in his defeat, not only did he fail to protect Canterlot but also failed to fladered his little sister he had sworn to be at her side and to protect. After hearing all of what had happened when she absence, Princess Luna's face is now a mixture of anger, disappointment, grief but mainly anger. She could not believe that her sister made the same mistake, which one thousand years earlier she had, in the meantime, caused their to endure loneliness and suffering for one thousand years, and if not because of Twilight Sparkle and her friends, she would not have been able to reunite with her sister... A... And it was only recently that her sister forgot all what had happened, forgot the suffering for one thousand years, and made that mistake again... And this mistake had an even worse effect than before. This mistake led to pony's support for not only her and her sister, but also Esquestria, without Twilight Sparkle and her friends, Esquestria would now be either buried in the darkness or buried in the chaos of mental instability and she and her sister would never be reunited. 'H... How did... Why... After everything Twilight Sparkle did for me and Tia... N... Not after everything she did for the Esquestria... How could she treat her like that... How could she leave her admirer and loyal with her and bring her under such a terrible curse? Did she learn any lessons after I had dark consumption and transform Nightmares Moon then finally forcing the two to be apart for one thousand years?... If so, how could she let this happen, how could she make a mistake and made her royal student must pay cost with her heart and soul?...'Princess Luna bowed her head and sank in her own thoughts with the many mixed emotions evident on her face, signaling a bad omen to the rest of the room with the exception of Princess Cadence. The room was sheltered in silence, as all the ponies in this room observed feelings on Princess Luna's face while she was thinking, except for Cadence, all other ponies know that they are about to receive the Moon Princess's wrath, but that is what they deserve. They all want the one thing only for Twilight to return to them, ready for her to curse them, much less so than to lose her forever.
