I found myself laying in a creator in pain on my side. Rolling to my hooves I got up and climbed over the wall noticing both Selene and Solis staring down at me, my ears laid down as I pulled myself up. I was shaking till I felt them pull me into a hug.
“Shhhh it's okay we have you” I felt their hooves on my back rubbing it slowly.
“I don’t know what is happening and. I was walking and heard his voice causing me to fall asleep. I could see them but I couldn’t speak” I looked up at them.
“That gem on your neck is attached to him. He knew you were close so he took advantage of it” I looked over at Solis blinking scared.
“Why am I just now seeing you?”
“Your horn was broken making your magic unstable. You see stars have no real shape as Solis said. You have a permanent form which is a unicorn. that is how you can control your magic. Yes, you can change between the three tribes. since you were not able to focus your magic and it was locked you could not see or hear us” I felt Selene’s hoof on my head. I noticed her ear twitching as she turned her head.
“What should I do if he can control me like that?”
“Listen Silvc while you were healing he came here and tried to steal some liquid night. He was trying to make another pony. However, it tasted his blood and is now part of him. I am not sure what it will do if it touches you or your liquid night is hidden in your bracelets. I do know that the liquid night that he stole has taken over. This is a new territory for us” I could see he was trying to explain the situation the best he could. I sighed as I felt his hoof on my head.
“We need to send you back. Listen remember the liquid night will turn into anything you need” I watched as Selene pushed me back into the creator.
I sat up coughing for air. I could feel that my dress was open with my belt missing. I noticed my breastplate was sitting in front of Luna. She was sipping on some tea with breakfast in front of her. I looked at her as I walked closer.
“Luna?” I started to put the breastplate on.
“Red looked you over. He found out that you were pregnant” I dropped my breastplate and I sighed. I watched as she pushed the tray of food in front of me.
“So it is true” I sighed as I shook my head “I knew something was wrong with that spell they gave you” I huffed.
“You cheated”
“How could I have cheated Luna! I have been with you I wore a collar with your cutie mark on it for a week. You acted on impulse on some days and nights! Why would I cheat on a pony who said she was the only thing I needed? Hell, the maids found us in the bathroom with me under you.” I looked at her and shook my head.
“I know about the spell, Cadence and Red put the pieces together when they saw the vitamins with the name of Pumpkin Hallow on the bottle. Why didn’t you tell me?” her eyes were glaring at me as I pulled the breastplate placing it on.
“From what I found out. I am not leaving that village alive, and why would I give you this knowledge when I am going to be dead” I looked at her. I could see her staring at me in shock. I fixed my mane and dress. I closed the collar before walking to the door feeling pissed as I wanted this hidden. Looking up I noticed the door was sealed by her magic. I glanced over and noticed something was off. Moving to the side I noticed she was see-through causing me to stare at her.
“LUNA! what did you do!” I growled walking to the spell.”
“I am not having you enter the village. You are with a foal! my foal and I am not about to have you put your life on the line” she disappeared leaving me a bit irritated. checking the door she was using a new spell that I did not recognize causing me to curse my head off. a smirk appeared on my face as I jumped up and landed within my shadow. Jumping along the pieces of land I came out near the barrier. Looking around I could spot the sight of the guards moving towards the village. Taking a deep breath in I changed forms. My armor shifted to an armored collar and bracers with some armor on my wings.
I tapped my hooves before taking off. I tilted my side while arching my back a bit so I could fly around. I could my wings touching the snow as I zipped past them. I slid to a halt in front of the rulers with a trail of snow following me.
“I told you that spell wouldn’t stop her” Jr spoke up as I was panting staring at them. I kept quiet before shaking my head and bolting into the air. I flew up over the mountain before diving in landing near my brother’s gravestone. I returned to normal as I pulled the crystal I use to have off of my neck. The ceiling was gone and the walls that were holding the barrier crystals were gone. I was glancing around the village noticing everything was still the same. I used my magic to create a pack of wolves sending them down silently.
I was looking around noticing everything was normal. Till I turned one of the wolves around. he was behind me with his sword at the ready. I drop the spell allowing me to doge. I was panting heavily as I noticed he was holding his famous green-scaled sword. I pulled mine out but he dogged into the village as the other guards and royals came in. I grabbed my sword into my muzzle but I was stopped from jumping in.
“Mother! if you jump in then we can’t enter” Jr spoke up as the others rushed in. I was held back till Jr was the last one in. I growled as I ran and entered the village. I allowed myself to fall before using my magic to bounce from house to house. While I was in the air I held my sword ready to drive it into him. I wanted this done as fast as I can.
“Oh, holy crystal” I heard the empress as I missed. My sword had slammed into the ground creating a hole where I landed. I picked up my sword in my muzzle holding it out.
“Now do you believe me, Empress?” I waited and watched the shadows as he walked out from behind the tree. his tail was moving behind him as half his face was covered in eyes.
“Still have that old sword do you?” I shook my head as I lowered myself to the ground watching him. my eyes were narrowed as I could see his sword in his magic. He twirled it around before moving toward me. I quickly stabbed the sword into the ground holding my ground as he bounced off the sword. Once he was off my sword I jumped over it and ran after him. I could see the guards moving through the streets behind the houses. I slide myself under my grandfather and into the river bed. I made sure to keep his attention on me as I chuckled a few crystals at him.
“You are annoying right?”
“You taught me how to be annoying right?” I smiled at him holding a few crystals in my magic. I watched as the guards tackled him as the elements were in position. Oh, so that is what they were doing first. I bolted from my current position and ducked between the fruit trees. I closed my eyes and waited while I hear screaming. I felt my eye twitch as the screaming turned into laughter. Popping my head out I could see he was still standing. Luna and Celestia were now standing in front of them. I took a deep breath in and then dived into the shadows. Moving along the pieces of land I jumped up.
“Hey, ass hat!” I shouted as I landed on him dragging him into the shadows with me. Once he was in the shadows I bolted along the dirt before climbing out along the river bed.
“Silver?” I could hear Luna shouting but I stayed quiet. I moved along the river hearing the crystals crunching under my hooves. As I was walking I felt something wrapping around my back hoof crushing and ripping it from my body. I bit down on my lip as I fell to my side. I glanced back at him kicking him off with the other leg. He backed off as I stood up panting. I could feel something moving from my hoof to where my hind leg used to be. I noticed the liquid night had created a body part causing me to smile.
“They have been in contact!” he growled. I leaned down and bit my leg picking it up in my muzzle. I quickly climbed out of the river bed running as I dropped the leg near Jr.
“That’s my leg keep it! Red is going to kill me!”
“MOTHER!” I bolted back grabbing my sword with my muzzle and swinging it at him. I could hear him growl as I chopped his wing off. Dropping my sword I jumped from the ground to the top of the houses. I looked down at him as I huffed.
“What? I’m fine, but I got him good” I smiled as I looked over at him. I watched closely as he stole one of the gems from the headstones chomping on it. His wing returned to normal causing me to freeze.
“yeah? mother!” I blinked as I chucked a piece of stone at him.
“Jr smash all those crystals in the headstones and tree now. I will keep him busy” I growled as I noticed his eyes were watching me.
“Like you can keep me busy?” he growled as I looked down at him.
“Like you can kill me right?” I gave him a smirk “You no for good grandfather! but then again YOU ARE NOT MY GRANDFATHER! YOU ARE A MONSTER THAT KILLED HIM!” I shouted causing the crystals around the top edges to shake. I could feel my eyes glowing as the crystals around the top as I let out a huff. I could hear him laughing before falling on his back.
“You could never master that magic” he growled as I took a deep breath in and let out a slow puff of light blue smoke. his laughter stopped as the crystals broke free before landing on the houses behind me. One changed into a large dragon while the other two turned into wolves howling. I let out a slow huff. I clicked my tongue against my teeth sending the wolves after him.
“Okay Star I owe you” I could hear the empress speaking as Star was nodding. I noticed the guards that were brave enough started breaking crystals while the others were covering the elements far away from the main fight. I turned and noticed the princesses were trying to use their magic to push him away from the tree. I noticed the monster would slink away before disappearing into the river bed. I clicked my teeth causing the wolves to stalk the river bed as I could see a black spot moving to the tree. I pointed to the tree and sent out another click causing the dragon to move from behind me.
“Got you” I turned my head as something wrapped around my neck dragging me down to the ground. Looking up at him I could see black ooze dripping from his mouth.
“You are the last one left” he growled as I felt claws trying to rip into my neck but the fabric of my armor stopped him. I looked to the side and laughed at him which made him angry. I felt myself being picked up and tossed to the other side of the village. I crashed into a group of trees passing out for a moment.
“Silver wake up!”
“SILVER WAKE UP!” my eye opened up noticing Luna had blood running down her side as Celestia’s armor was cracked. she had a few bruises as I pushed myself up panting hard. Looking to my left I was missing my leg as I felt a hoof on my back. He was laughing causing me to glance up. I took a deep breath in and out as I felt my coat growing hot. my eye started to twitch as I let out a growl pushing myself up. I could feel the metal breaking off as I turned to face the monster.
“I guess all that training did work” his voice was twisted as I clicked my teeth. the ground under my hooves started to grow creating crystal golems around me. I pulled out a long golden blade sword with a white star sitting at the base near the hilt. I let out a breath causing the day to end and the night begin. I watched as the crystals started to glow as I heard whispers behind me.
“Glowing cleric” Star snickered as I kept my sword out to the side staring at him. I clicked my teeth causing the golems to run at him. I swung my sword as I could see the other guards tackling him with the golems.
“BACK OFF! you don’t have the damn armor to attack him now!” I shouted knowing full well that they would be killed. I clicked my teeth again causing the golems to pull the guards off as I felt myself being hit in my chest. I was sent flying backward toward the wall. I crashed into the wall behind the elements and the empress.
“Cleric!” I pushed myself out of the hole huffing.
“Trust me Empress this is nothing. His training was a lot worse” I growled as I got to my hooves. I shook my coat allowing my magic to change. I spread my wings open before taking off. I pushed myself off the ground sending myself flying towards him crashing into his chest getting him away from the Princesses. I heard a roar as the village was tossed into full darkness.
“This is getting out of hoof. Mother, what should we do now?” I could hear Jr causing me to growl.
“If you can hear me this would be a good time to appear for us. I need to see to fight him for good” I shouted hoping the crystals would hear me.
“What is she doing?”
“I don’t know! I don’t speak music”
“Your just training” I could hear the crystals finally talk to me.
“No I am ending this! I know the truth now! I know he killed you all! I know he made us with his hooves! I need to end him, I even have help from the princesses and other rulers to end him” I was hoping this would work.
“So they are not here to harm us?”
“No they were with me to see this place. To see where I lived and where I was born or made. They do not harm ponies, heck they have a whole kingdom larger than this” I was watching as the crystals around the tree and the homes start to glow. I noticed the spirits walking out of their hiding spots watching. I heard a growl holding my sword up.
“Silver you need to break us”
“What” I turned and looked at the spirits. I noticed my father walking toward me placing his hoof on my shoulder.
“You need to break us. he can use us to regenerate” my eyes widen as I looked at my hooves.
“Mother?”
“Jr you and the other guards start smashing all the crystals that are glowing”
“Wait the ones on the headstones!”
“Yes now get moving!”
“But mother?”
“Jr for fucking once just listen to me. We need them gone!” I had tears in my eyes as I picked up my sword. I returned to normal allowing me to hold my sword and click my teeth. I still had the dragon flying about acting as my eyes. I could see where he was going as he would glow for my eyesight.
“Heads up it's going to be bright!” I snapped as I used my magic to cause the crystals to glow. I was panting because I never had to fight like this in a long time. I should have fucking waited and practiced. I spotted the black spot causing me to run after him with my sword at the ready. he left my field of vision but he soon came back when he appeared on a house. black ooze was falling from his mouth as he let out a loud scream. I could hear the crystals being smashed. Taking a deep breath I jumped up onto the fallen houses holding my sword out. He could only look at me as he slowly moved towards me. I kept my sword up slashing through him causing him to scream and backing off. I kept my eye on him as I made a barrier around us.
“Mother we got all the crystals!”
“Take the others and get out of here now!”
“Mother we can’t”
“I SAID MOVE!” I kept my eyes on the monster keeping my sword out on him. I watched as the others grabbed the injured and moved from the area. I took my eyes off of him and he bounced into the barrier I had set up. I chuckled as I put the barrier down and bolted from him teasing him. I chased him through the streets jumping from ruble to rubble and flinging my sword towards him. I pushed him to the other side of the village away from the others. I slid to a halt when I came to a wall noticing he was missing. I moved my eye around looking for a zipping shadow. looking around I heard screaming not from the group but from him. Glancing back I could see him rushing towards me.
I moved causing him to crash behind me. I could see the others had made it through the ice allowing me to put my attention on him. I spun my sword in my magic holding it up to use it as a shield. If it hurt him once it can hurt him again. He split himself in front of the sword causing me to drop it. I felt a sharp pain in my chest causing me to look down. He had stabbed me where my heart was. Whenever he moved his sword I could feel cracking and pain running through my body. I grabbed the sword as he held me up in the air. I was able to see that they had all disappeared through the wall. he tossed me off of his sword and into a house. I glanced towards the tree because I saw one crystal that Jr had missed. It was the one I kept in my hidden base. Taking a few deep breaths I pushed myself up.
I bolted from the house causing him to growl as I ran to the tree. I used my sword to help me climb the trunk towards the secret hideout. I panted as this was a lot and I could feel myself running out of steam, I grabbed the crystal from the lamp and shattered it. What followed was a good awful scream or screech. I closed my ears as I laid against the pillows looking up. my eye could see the ceiling falling allowing the snow from above to fall in for the first time in centuries.
“Poate ca ai castigat lupta dar am castigat razboiul. Ti am spus ca vei muri aici si acum vei muir (You may have won the fight. But I have won the war. I told you that you would die here and now you will)” His laughed echoed through the village.
“Deci Vei Muri aici (So your going to die here to)”
“Chiar crezi ca am spus adevarul atunci? Draga mea am planuri mai mari (Do you really think that I was telling the truth Then? My dear I have bigger plans) His voice went silent as I was left looking at the tree as parts of it started to change. I could feel the snow on my face. It was getting harder to breathe. I could feel my magic acting weird as I closed my eyes.
“Uncle discord? Uncle Order tell Luna I am sorry” I spoke out loud as those would be my last words. I had tears forming in my eyes as my last words would be to the air and sky.
“SILVC!”
