By.FoxofRarity Chapter.4 Disclaimer- My Little Pony Friendship is Magic belongs to Hasbro and Lauren Faust. “Ok here we go. Time to see if I mastered this shape-shifting spell. If I can turn into Rarity and prank Spike then that proves I’ve fully mastered the art of shape shifting.” The horn of Twilight glows. It is not long before a white aura engulfs her. When the glow of the aura dies down she immediately looks in the mirror. "Let's see." “Incredible! I look just like Rarity…even to the slightest detail of her sky blue eye shadow.” Twilight lips start to form a very devilish smirk as she stepped out of her bathroom and calls out in perfect imitation of Rarity's voice. "Spike I need your help…” *** In the Carousel Boutique the unknown Alicorn is showing the history of his parents to Rarity and Rainbow Dash, telepathically that is. He shows them what they want to know…especially the source of the memory. “Silver Wind we will help you, Sylva and I will change you into the kind Pegasus you're meant to be.” Princess Celestia says in her motherly tone. “How huh!? My own mother can’t help me so what can you do?” “Only time can tell Silver Wind…only time can tell.” Rarity taps Gold Sky on the shoulder to ask him something but forgot about her question when she saw the memory being sped up. "Huh?" Both Rarity and Rainbow Dash saw Gold Sky’s face turn into worry as he fast forward the memories. “You are afraid that whoever was knocking earlier will be back.” Rarity whispers to Gold Sky Gold Sky just nodded. “Anyway here is when Sylvia and Silver Wind start to bond.” The setting around the trio shifts to a restaurant. After some time it up the form of a donut shop, known as Pony Stars. “Silver Wind if you don't mind me asking but can you please tell every detail of your colthood, you don’t have too if you don’t want to.” Sylvia managed to speak through a mouthful of glazed donuts. Silver Wind sighs because in whole truth he never had a colthood in the first place. “Not much to explain.” “Oh…I’m sorry if…” “No Sylvia, I don’t mean it like that. I mean I never had a colthood…basically you could say I came into this world to become an Elite Commando guard and nothing else.” "Oh dear me." Sylvia reaches over to touch his hoof. “How about your parents, can we talk about them?” Silver Wind turns his head around so Sylvia wouldn’t see him take a deep breath, after a few seconds of pushing himself he turns back to face Sylvia. “I only visit my mother during my off time…my father passed away when I was still a very young colt. Before he died I tried to spend as much time with him. He told me everything I needed to know, but not as a colt but as a stallion and I had to leave behind my childlike mind to become strong stallion for my mother.” Silver Wind trembles slightly as he continued his story “I felt cold after he stroked my mane for the last time, seeing him die before my eyes was something I had to bear for a long time…especially his last words. The son becomes the father and the father the son. He basically told me to be a better stallion than him. Now at least I can try to be a better Pegasus.” Sylvia smiles warmly at him as a way to thank him for opening up to her. But more surprisingly for the first time ever Silver Wind smiles back. “So you really do smile!? I knew it!” The Unicorn exclaimes happily. “Hehe enjoy it while it lasts. Uhhh…I really enjoy spending this time with you. Even though I’m always going to be by your side at all times but its moments like these that I wish we can have more often. And uhhhh… well if you don’t mind me saying?” Silver Wind starts to become a little bashful. “What is it Silver Wind?” Sylvia asks. “Uhh it’s… OH! I almost forgot to mention my mother. She got remarried during my years in training under the master of the guard, I never paid any sort of attention to my mother’s new husband because he’ll never be my father in the first place. I think that’s all for now I guess.” Unfortunately this is not what Silver Wind wanted to say to Sylvia, but since this is the first time he starts to talk about his feelings he did not know how to tell her his opinion he has of her. “Sylvia, I think we should call it a night. Isn’t it near you bedtime? Hehe.” Silver Wind teases. Sylvia gave her personal guard a soft jab on the withers before leaving the donut ship with him to head back to the palace. “Good night, Silver Wind.” Yawns Sylvia. “Sweet dreams, Sylvia. Wake me if you need me.” Silver Wind assures Sylvia before giving her a small bow and heading to his room across from her’s. Before he fell into deep sleep Silver Wind took one last look at his silver armor he placed on a mannequin. “Guess being her personal guard is a blessing in disguise. Thank you Princess Celestia.” *** “Strange I thought I heard Rarity upstairs. Was she here all this time instead at her boutique?” Thought the young dragon. When he went upstairs to find out if that was really Rarity…his jaw ends up hitting the floor. “Spike? Why are looking at me like you’ve never seen me before? It’s me Rarity, uh Spiko-Wako.” Twilight or in this case Rarity tells Spike. “Oh my, I just want to laugh my head off right now, I can’t believe he’s falling for this. But keep your cool Twilight don’t laugh just yet.” Spike’s pupils turns into pink hearts and for some unexplained reason he starts to float over to Rarity. “W-what can I help you with mi lady! I’ll do anything you ask oh fair and beautiful Rarity.” Swoons Spike. “That’s it… I can’t hold it much longer!” Twili…err Rarity starts to walk slowly around Spike. She decides to play the stakes of this prank by brushing Spike’s chin with her tail, causing the baby dragon to blush into the brightest shade of red she ever saw. "Ok that's it!Rarity just fell on the ground laughing hysterically. “Spike can’t believe you fell for this prank! You’re so gullible! But it was so cute how you acted!” “What do you mean Rarity?” Asked the confused dragon who is no longer floating. “I am not R-R-Rarity! Ahahhahahahha…!” “What?” “Sp-Spike it’s me Twilight… I’m using a shape-shifting spell and shifted into Rarity. So I can prank you. Ahahahhahaha AND YOU FELL FOR IT!! YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR FACE!” Spike then saw the white horn glow and an aura surrounds Rarity. After a bright flash Spike sees Twilight rolling on the floor laughing. *Gasp*“Eww and you brushed my chin seductively with your tail! Why will you trick me like this Twi? This is so uncalled for." Spike angrily yells at Twilight. “C’mon Spike don’t be party pooper. You gotta admit it was funny after all and also its the first the prank I ever pull off.” Twilight said to Spike as she composed herself. The baby dragon looks at Twilight while uncrossing his arms, he slowly starts to smile as he shook his head realizing Twilight is right. “All right fine, I admit it was funny and you got me good Twi.” Spike then found himself being pulled towards Twilight’s arms that wrap around him created a big hug. “How about we go to the Sugarcube Corner for lunch and then check up on Rarity, sounds good no?” Spike just grins. “Yeah it does sound good.” *** The morning sun shines through the window of Silver Wind’s room. Its light did not wake the gray Pegasus from his sleep, he is a heavy sleeper after all and he forgot to set his alarm clock. Sylva on the other hand or hoof decides to do a nice gesture for her personal Elite Commando guard because she has never done anything nice for him. So she brings him breakfast in bed. When she enters his room, she places the tray on his desk and went over nudge him awake. “Silver Wind it’s time to wake up and to rise and shine. Hello? Are you dreaming?” When she places her hoof on his shoulder his eyes shot open wide as his right hoof grabs her hoof that she placed on his shoulder, and raises his left hoof which has a silver horseshoe along a blade extended to her wind pipe. Sylvia just froze…she forgot Silver Wind has extraordinary reflexes and also sleeps with his horseshoes on which also happen to have blades in them. “Oh…ooooooh I am so sorry Sylvia!!” Silver Wind snaps the blade back into his horseshoe and quickly got off his bed to bow low before her. “Please Sylvia forgive me! I didn’t mean to do that to you! Please don’t hurt me with your magic!” Begs Silver Wind. Sylvia gently places her hoof on his shoulder causing him to look up at her. “It’s alright Silver Wind. I just realized it’s my fault anyway. First I should of knocked and second if that didn’t work I'd throw a bucket of cold water on you. Look just get up and we’ll forget this ever happened all right.” Sylvia seriously said to Silver Wind, who only nods in return. So the Pegasus got up to his hooves and starts to eat breakfast while Sylvia held on to his horseshoes for safekeeping. “Whoa! Do all Elite Commando guards have those horseshoes with blades in them?” Rainbow Dash ecstatically asks. “Shh! Less talk, more quiet. I'll answer your question later.” Gold Sky snaps at Rainbow Dash. A few days later Silver Wind is looking for Sylvia in the palace gardens, because she told him she wants some privacy so she can study, but in reality Sylvia is mourning the loss of her mother who died of a stroke. After walking through endless bushes of flowers he finally found her sitting on a bench crying while holding a letter. “Why is she crying? Did I do something wrong? Maybe I should leave her as she is and come back later when she’s done crying.” The commando turns around to walk back to the palace, but after taking a few steps he stops. A thought in the back of his mind tells him to go back… and do the right thing. “No…she needs me. I will try helping her just like she helped me.” Silver Wind slowly made his way to the grieving Sylvia, but before approaching her he spots a beautiful red rose so he quickly picks it hoping this will help. "Alright here it goes. The Pegasus sits next to Sylvia who stops crying to look at him. He gives her the rose before saying the words that will change everything. “I’m here for you…if you need a shoulder to cry on then please cry on mine. I won’t leave your side until you feel better.” The commando’s voice conveys compassion. Sylvia’s horn glows in taking the rose. A small smile forms on her lips. "Silver WInd..." She is no longer alone. She embraces Silver Wind and Silver Wind did the same. “Thank you, Silver Wind.” “For you…mi lady.” The Unicorn and Pegasus have mutual thoughts running through their heads, all while Princess Celestia watches from her balcony and smiles at seeing her former personal guard changing into a better stallion. The trio watching this memory saw the days turn into weeks and then weeks into months. Silver Wind stood behind Sylvia as she sat at a meeting of the Royal court. The mare in any form or way is not part of the Royal court but since she has a curiosity to see its function, so Princess Celestia saves her a seat so she can sit next to her. While the ever present Elite Commando guard of Sylvia stood by. Meanwhile the Pegasus couldn’t help but lay his eyes on Sylvia and not look away. He notices how her mane shines in the sun, along with how her eyes sparkle whenever she spoke. “How can I not notice how beautiful she looks… wait!? Why am I thinking of this? She is really intelligent, iron willed, and probably powerful in magic. She is too good for me.” Silver Wind starts to frown when the thoughts flow through his mind creating realizations and revelations. “Just because she smiles at me, just because she hugs me every morning, just because she talks softly to me, and just because she is helping me become a better stallion… does not mean she thinks more of me then just her personal commando guard. That’s all I am to her. A commando… a Razor.” The gray Pegasus lets out a long sigh as he took these thoughts to heart. Allowing one tear ran down his right cheek. Sylvia on the other hoof looks at a mirror that stood parallel to Silver Wind’s right side to check if her mane is not messed up. That is when she saw the one tear running down his right cheek. She quickly looks at the at the mirror that stood parallel to Silver Wind’s left side, but she saw not a single tear running down. “Something is troubling him. Perhaps I should ask him what is hurting him before I get some shut eye. Hope it’s not the death of his father bothering him again.” Once the meeting of the Royal court came to its end. Sylvia and Silver Wind head to their quarters. “Silver Wind, wait!” Sylvia calls out. “I noticed today at the Royal court meeting a tear running down your right cheek…can you please tell me if something is bothering you, I’m here for you just like you were there for me back at the palace gardens.” She looks directly into his eyes to see what emotion runs through him. Knowing she took his kind act to heart touched the stallion. In fact he just wants to tell her how her feels about her. But at the same time he’s new to these sort of feelings developing inside him. “I-I-I just had some dust in my eye. Good night Sylvia.” He didn’t make any eye contact with her because he knew his eyes will betray him. Silver Wind quickly dashes into his room and shuts the door. Sylvia just stood in the hallway. “I guess that one emotion that always been with him might be doing it’s job. Good night my dear Silver Wind…” The setting went pitch black. “Now Rainbow Dash do you have any questions?” “Yeah, do all commandos have blades in their horseshoes?” Rainbow Dash asks impatiently. “Uhh…I think so. How about you Rarity do you have any questions?” Rarity just shook her head. “All right lets continue. Oh…I will be skipping parts… yeah. ” His horn glows taking the trio back into his memories. Silver Wind takes himself to the library. He comes to the conclusion that if he wants to tell Sylvia how he feels then the best way to do so will be through poetry. “Bookkeeper! I need your help in finding a book.” Silver Wind in high voice demands. “I’m a librarian! A librarian not a bookkeeper!” The old aggravated unicorn corrects Silver Wind. “Potato. Patata. Librarian. Bookkeeper. All mean the same thing, so are you going to help me or not? Because I don’t have time to waste, you old unicorn.” The old unicorn just sighs as he went to get a book from a cart behind him and hands Silver Wind the book he needs. “Thank you, sir. Have fun with your arthritis.” Silver Wind yells as he left. “Punk.” Whispers the old unicorn. Once back in his room, the Pegasus read whole book and took out a quill and sheets of paper. “Ok, ok, ok. This poem is my one shot. I better make sure it is not flawed.” Silver Wing starts to write. It was not long before numerous paper balls litters the floor of his room. His mind just thought of Sylvia… its weird how a couple of minutes spent with her telling her his past, caused him to develop feelings for her. “Finally…it may be kind of short. But it will do perfectly.” Silver Wind proudly tells himself Suddenly somepony knocks on his door causing him to quickly fold up the poem and place it in his helmet. “C-come in.” Sylvia walks into the room which made the pegasus blush lightly. “Hey Silver Wind we’re going to take a long stroll, so c’mon it’ll be fun.” Silver Wind just nods and walks with Sylvia. As both them walked through Ponyville Silver Wind thanks the Great Spirit, for giving him the perfect chance and setting in which he can give Sylvia the poem. Sylvia on the other side of the coin kept taking many glances at Silver Wind, she to has feelings for Silver Wind but not even her intelligence can give her the courage to tell him how she feels. “He is so handsome, strong, hard yet with a heart of gold. I want to hug him and never let go…but I’m sure he has no emotions for me. He is still a Razor.” After some time, dusk makes its presence known by the color of the sky. The Elite Commando guard however notices how close to the Everfree forest they were. “Sylvia we're awfully close to the Everfree forest and its dusk we should go back.” Silver Wind suggests. “You’re right, Silver Wind. Let’s go back to the palace…it should be near supper time.” Sylvia admits. So the duo change their direction to walk back home. That is until a Griffon land in front of them and a second one behind them. “Ho, ho. Lookie here, we got ourselves a pair of ponies.” Gloats one of griffons with a voice of great satisfaction. “Oh no!! Griffon Assassins!” Silver Wind yells in his mind. “What do you want Griffons?” Sylvia asks. “What do we want? Simple my dear little pony. We just want to kill you and your guy friend too, for fun of course.” Sylvia’s eyes got wide while Silver Wind gathers all the strength within him to fight. “You can’t kill us. Princess Celestia made a treaty with your nation, and you have the armor of a griffon soldier. Meaning if you kill us, it will start a war!” The unicorn mare declares to the griffon. “Last time we checked both us are not soldiers and we are not wearing the bronze armor the soldiers wear…we are assassins! Who’ve been low on business for the past few weeks. So we decided to kill time by killing ponies who come through this path and both of you happen to be the lucky couple.” The assassin starts to cackle manically. Silver Wind grabs Sylvia so she can look at him. “Sylvia look at me. LOOK AT ME! I want you to promise me that you will do whatever I say, all right!” Sylvia only nods while trying desperately to blink away any tears forming in her eyes. Silver Wind closes his eyes and breathes deeply before opening them. “I want you run… but don’t stop all right. Run, until you reach safety or get tired. Whatever you hear do not look back but keep running. Is that clear!” “B-b-but what about you Silver Wind!?” The commando just gave her a small smile and nuzzles her gently on the cheek. “I’m doing what I’m trained to do and that is protecting you…with my life. Here, take this.” Silver Wind quickly took off his helmet and gave her the folded up poem. "Once you get to safety read it. The last three words shall speak for themselves. NOW RUN SYLVIA RUN!!!” He roars. She starts to run but quickly stops to look at him with eyes filled with fear. Silver Wind smiles at her and gave her nod before turning to face the griffon assassins. She ran and never looked back. “I will not leave you. I will be back Sylvia … I promise.” “What are your names assassins?" Silver Wind barks. The leader of the two clears his throat before talking. “My name is Rommel and my partner’s name is Lee. And what’s your name pony?” Silver Wind snorts out his breath, to intimidate Lee since he looks more skittish. “My name is Silver Wind. Elite Commando guard of Equestria.” Silver Wind holds his head high to show he has no fear. Lee’s jaw suddenly drops when he hears that name. “Th-th-the Silver Wind! Rommel we should…” Lee grabsd Rommel and brought him close so he talk to him and not worry about Silver Wind hearing them. “Rommel this Pegasus here is the cold killer Silver Wind! Remember how he killed those three assassins sent to either kill or capture Princess Celestia with such ease, we have to leave while we got the chance! He will kill us or torture us!” Lee’s voice displays text book fear without even being engaged. “You coward! So what, if he is Silver Wind! I will kill him and have the glory of being the griffon who killed the legendary guard of Celestia. I will be the most famous Griffon Assassin!” Declared Rommel to Lee. Both of them then return facimg the lone commando. “How about we have ourselves a friendly fight to the death eh and then I will hunt down that mare.” Rommel taunts. Silver Wind smiles a devilish smile. “I like the sound of that…lets dance” Silver Wind replies as his wings spread open. “Don’t worry Sylvia. Knowing that your up and running gives me strength.” The two assassins lunge forward. And Silver Wind charges forward to the griffons. One Elite Commando guard against two Griffon Assassins… only one will be left standing. *** Sylvia ran despite her legs screaming in pain because physical activity is not a good attribute of her’s. But she kept on running… she made a promise to Silver Wind to run and live. Unfortunately she was not paying attention to objects lying around on her path. "Uh oh!" She trips over a exposed tree root. She tries to get up but her body will not comply for it feels good lying on the ground. And her heart is beating so fast it freaks her out. So she drags herself to a big bush to hide and so her body can rest as well. Her horn glows in retrieving the note Silver Wind gave her. Oh Sylvia… my beautiful Sylvia. A day does not pass in which I don’t think of you. Your beauty always captivates me and your intelligence amazes me in every way that my mind can interpret. I always thought you were the reason the sun rose every morning. But you give me reason to be a better stallion…to wake up every morning to see your eyes that shine brightly as the stars in the night sky. Your voice sings of flawless magnificence that brings me to peace. I’m lucky to be your personal guard and I wish I can be more than that for you. I always wanted to tell you these words but I’m afraid you will ignore me and replace me… but nothing ventured is nothing gained. You are the definition of unfathomed beauty. Sylvia… I love you. Sylvia’s heart melts. The stallion she has feelings for feels the same for her. “Silver Wind loves me. He loves me!!! I need to find him so I to can tell him how I…” She just remembers Silver Wind staying behind to protect her. Tears start to form in her eyes and she feels her body go cold. “Silver Wind please don’t die.” *** Silver Wind ducks in time to avoid a claw swipe from Rommel, which also gave him three milliseconds to deliver a powerful blow to the griffon’s stomach causing Rommel to fall on his knees and cough up blood. Silver Wind hears the noisy flapping of Lee who tries to attack him from behind. The commando is able to dodge the attack from Lee but also grabs him and use the momentum of the griffon to spin him and slam him to the ground. Silver Wind mustering up all his strength punches Lee in the chest shattering his ribcage. A piece of shattered rib pierces the left lung of Lee, giving him only four minutes of life. “Ooh it looks like you are, ahem, dead!” Sarcastic sadism is the last thing Lee will ever hear. But this distraction gave Rommel a chance to kick Silver Wind from behind, sending the commando to the ground. "Got him for now." Rommel wipes the blood off his bottom lip and whips out a sabre that was slung on his back. The assassin then dashes forward at Silver Wind with his sabre. Silver Wind immediately extends the blades from both his horseshoes to block the sabre, then pushes the griffon back giving him some distance. Rommel raises his saber above his head while Silver Wind flaps his wings rapidly to help him stay upright on his hind legs. Both charge at each other and the sound of metal striking metal fills the Everfree forest. Rommel struck Silver Wind with the pommel of his sabre causing the pegasus to fall down on his back. Quickly Silver Wind tosses some dirt into Rommel’s eyes. But Rommel covers his eyes and saw in between his fingers that the commando is coming at him, so he swung his sabre at the left hoof of the commando. The sabre hits the horseshoe with enough force to making it come off. “Oh hell…” Silver Wind frets when he sees his left hoof is without a horseshoe. Suddenly he gets tackled down by Rommel. Rommel holds down Silver Wind’s right hoof which still had a silver horseshoe, with his left eagle arm and points the tip of his sabre at Silver Wind’s face. “Any last words Silver Wind? The once legendary guard of Celestia.” Rommel asks. Silver Wind just smiles… “Yeah. Three blades are better than two.” Snickers Silver Wind. Rommel tilts his head until he felt a sharp pain in his right hip causing him to roar in pain. Silver Wind has another blade concealed in the horseshoe of his left hind leg. Rommel drops his sabre. "Get off me damn it!" The pegasus throws the griffon off of him. "Oh this is glorious." Silver Wind slowly walks over to Rommel who is now dragging himself on the ground. "Ah yes." He then breathes in a deep breath and strikes Rommel on the right shoulder dislocated it. “You see Rommel I don’t need room to give you a powerful blow to the shoulder,I just need air and strength. I will be the last thing you see before you die. HA! You will have no glory and everybody will remember you as the assassin who failed in trying to kill me, but look at the bright side at least you are lucky number five of assassins I kill. And one more thing Rommel… I’m not the guard of Princess Celestia but the guard of Sylvia the mare who has my heart!” Silver Wind finishes his speech by slitting Rommel’s throat. “*Sigh.* It is done. Humph for such an overzealous Assassin I would of thought he’ll put up more of a fight. I got to find Sylvia and see if she is okay.” *** Sylvia senses her body is now well rested, so she starts to get up on her hoofs until she hears a stick snap. *gasp* She instantly covers her mouth, closes her eyes and stays perfectly still. “Sylvia its me. Where are you?” Silver Wind calls out. The mare opens her eyes and let's out a sigh of relive, she came out of the bush she was hiding in and took Silver Wind into a tight embrace. Silver Wind starts to smile when he felt how tight Sylvia held him. "Oh she holds me tight!" After what seems like hours both of them finally let go of each other. “Sylvia I just want to sa…” The mare places her hoof over his mouth to silence him. “Silver Wind that poem you wrote for me its… I also feel the same for you!” Silver Wind’s eyes widen upon hearing this. “I love you Sylvia.” “I love you too, Silver Wind.” Both of them once again hug each other as if they were living their last days. *** The memory fades away, soon Rarity and Rainbow Dash find themselves back at the boutique with Gold Sky. “Ok that’s enough of showing you stuff.” Gold Sky tells the two mares. “What!? Darling you can’t be serious. Your memories were only getting better!” Rarity started to use her begging face, which made Gold Sky feel a bit guilty. ‘C’mon man it was getting so good, please Gold Sky. Pleasssssssssssse…” Begs Rainbow Dash. “Look I showed both of you a lot of my origins… Ok maybe not MY origins. But both of you never specified that you wanted to hear about my origins and not my parents. So in keeping the bargain, I will place the charm in your minds so you can’t tell anypony about my true form and what I’ve showed you.” The horn of the Alicorn glows in placing mental chains in they’re minds. Once done, a thought passes through him. “Ok fine, I will tell both of you one thing about myself.” Gold Sky in defeat groans to both mares. The ears of Rarity and Rainbow Dash perk forward with glee. Until suddenly they drop when they see one tear running down Gold Sky’s right cheek. “I-I cut off my horn once … no twice. When they died I hated myself for being an Alicorn. Why did they have to die while I live, huh!!! I never wanted to be an Alicorn. I wanted to be a Pegasus, like you Rainbow Dash. I wanted to have a set number of days in which in my last day, I will die peacefully. But instead I have an unlimited number of days. I even cut off my wings too because if I couldn’t an Pegasus then I’ll be an Unicorn…but after three years my wings fully grew back. With feathers shiner than ever.” Gold Sky turns his back to both mares. “I soon realized that I have tissue regeneration which explains why my horn and wings grew back because I’m not a pure Alicorn like Celestia... Anyway I’ll be on my way. WAIT! Rarity is my cloak patched up?” Rarity had to shake her head in order to get back into focus. “That old piece of cloth? Ugh! No darling I made you something better. A white all silk cloak that will so look good on you, dear.” Rarity beams in delight. Her magic retrieves from her closest the beautiful white cloak and places it upon the alicorn. "There you are darling." Gold Sky feels how fine the cloak is, it feels much better than the one he previously had before. “How much do I owe you for this exquisite cloak?” Inquires Gold Sky. “Oh that will be five bits.” Gold Sky raises an eyebrow. He has no bits, but he had some gold nuggets and shiny gems he acquired during his journey. “Ok I don’t have any bits but will accept this gold nugget the size of a grape? It’s pretty dense for it’s size.” Rarity gasps when her magic took hold of it! She can feel how much it weighs and truly it's really was dense for it's size. Rainbow Dash closely studies the nugget with awe. “Where did you get that?” She asks. Gold Sky shrugged. “I forgot, but here you can have one too.” Gold Sky levitates a gold nugget to give to Rainbow Dash, who squeals with joy. “Oh my gosh! Thanks!” Yells the mare as dashes towards the Alicorn and gave him a quick hug.” “Say Rarity one more thing.” Asks Gold Sky. “Yes, Gold Sky.” “Will you mind if I trade you a nice gem for that ruby in your gem chest.” Gold Sky then took out a pink unpolished diamond from his saddle bag that was given to him by the chieftain of the United Zebra Clans for helping them put down a rebellion in a rouge clan. A major jaw drop appears in the faces of both mares. Gold Sky took Rarity’s expression as a yes that she wouldn’t mind, so he left the diamond in front of her and took the ruby. "The color of Octavia's beautiful eyes. Such a beauty." Gold happily said to himself. “Good bye and thank you for listening.” His words fell on deaf ears because both mares became mesmerized by the pink diamond. When Gold Sky opens the door he found that a lavender colored unicorn mare stood there with her right hoof raised to knock on the door. “Oh hello there. If please excuse me I will lik….” Next to the unicorn stood a baby purple dragon. Gold Sky's heartbeat accelerates, fear grips him, and slowly his body starts to tremble violently. “Retribution…descendent of the fallen dragon.” Fearfully the alicorn backs away from the young purple dragon standing next to Twilight Sparkle. "Huh?" Twilight was about to ask the cloaked Unicorn why he’s afraid of the baby dragon but she got cut off by the unicorn who speaks with a tremble in his voice. “Rar-Rar-Rarity sorry about the broken window…here have t-t-t-two more diamonds.” With that Gold Sky drops two more diamonds in front of Rarity and jumps out breaking through the large front window of her shop and runs away. After some time of running he stops to check if the purple dragon is not after him. Upon seeing that nothing is chasing him, he lets out a sigh of relive. “Ok good I’m safe now. Great, its dusk already. Hmm I could see Canterlot from here, perhaps I could fly there since there is heavy cloud cover. So nopony should see my true form. Time to visit Guardian Aunt. I miss her so much.” Gold Sky took off his cloak, folds it up, and places it in his saddlebag. He unfolded his wings but pauses to take a good look at them. “Damn wings…” He growls. The Alicorn flapps his wings and flew to see the mare who raised him after the memory was born in his mind. --- I am sorry for making all of you wait so long for chapter four. But I really got sidetracked by Joy of hidden Love and the Wrath of Lust, I never knew that Fan Fic will be so liked. But just so all of you will know, Octavia and the Alicorn's Peace is my crown jewel compared to the other fan fic I'm writing.
