Chapter 2: Pisces

Emma

The noise of the entrance door slamming open woke me up. I went ouside my bedroom, I saw Aeon fling up the stairs in a hurry, the second after he open the girls room and froze, something or somepony was in there. I slowly walked toward the room. I looked inside, a big mare, an Alicorn was standing in the black night light. Gleam and Raven didn't noticed her and both had their eyes shut. Not knowing what was going on. I couldn't really see perfectly the mare, but Aeon was staring at her, like if he knew who this pony was. I couldn't really see the Mare because of the dark. But I knew that she was staring at him.
"Do you know her?"
Aeon looked at me during a second.
*Boom*
The wall of the room exploded, the moonlight revealed the gray coat of the mare, her magenta mane and tail were glowing like crystals, I couldn't really recognize her cutiemark, but what was most intriguing was her orange eyes, her pupils were like cats, like Aeon.

The noise of the breaking wall woke up both of the girls and the mysterious mare grabbed them, she revealed her big wings. In a single swing she blasted off, Aeon didn't waited a single instant and chased the intruder.

I followed them as fast as I could, their shapes were like lights. Suddently Aeon had a boost and hit the Alicorn. Then he felt straight into the woods.
I landed on the ground. I saw a long crater on the ground, Aeon crashed. I followed the line that ended up against a tree. Aeon was laying on the floor, his wings covering his chest.
"AEON!!"
I ran to him to see if he was okay. My heart was beating so fast, I was hoping that he was okay.
"Are you alright?"
He opened his eyes.
"I'm fine"
He slowly opened his wings.

Gleam was holding the body of his father like if she was over a cliff, without any wings. I was so happy to see that my daughter was okay, a tear came out. I hugged her as much as I could.
"Mommy? Where is Raven?"
I looked at Aeon. At this moment, Sharpe and Sarah landed behind us.
"Sarah, Sharpe. Can you please escort Gleam to the house... Raven is still missing. Sarah asked.
"But can't I come with you guys?"
"No Sarah, I need you to protect our daugther."
"Very well Aeon..."
She sign Gleam to follow her, Sharpe followed them.

We started to walk in the direction that the mare went.
"I didn't forgot your question Emma" I looked at him "I need to tell you something that I should have told you long ago. I never always was Aeon, I was a normal unicorn first..."

5000 years ago

It is the great war. All races are fighting eachother in disharmony. Pegasus against Unicorns against Earth ponies. I am against this war, but as a unicorn and General of this army. It is my duty to protect my peoples, even if the enemies are my friends. But the unicorn forces are known to be the strongest one, so the pegasus and the earth ponies made a temporar alliance to exterminate us. The time was critic, we pulled back as much as we could and hid the civilians in the barracks.
"General, the enemy forces are approaching, should I give the signal to fire?"
"No! I am tired of this, I will go negociate, even if it will kill me!"
"General! Are you sure?!"
"No questions."

I walked slowly in the direction of the two colored armies that would just kill each other when we will be all eradicated.
Their leaders understood the message and imitated me. We walked until we were at 10 feets of each others.
"This Massacre is useless, you won, now go back home."
The Pegasus leader didn't agreed.
"There should be only one living race and there's no doubt that the Pegasus are the most worthy."
The Earth Pony disagreed.
"You said that if we helped you, we would both live in peace"
I tried myself.
"I say we all live in peace!"
The rage in the Pegasus eyes was burning he took his spear and dashed in my direction. I walked back but something stopped his movement.
A giant alicorn in an armor was holding his spear, her helmet had the shape of an hawk. I bowed in front of the goddess without hesitation, the earth pony did the same but the pegasus didn't had the same mind. I recognize the mare, she was the mother of Celestia.
"Ponies! Stop this nonsense! I am Aeon! Princess of Time and protector of this land! I have seen enough of you ponies killing eachothers for the reason of your race! Nopony chose his race and nopony wants to be the victim of others judgement!"
Foolish of the Princess, thinking that she reasoned with them, she releases her grip on the spear.
But Vicious were the pegasus at this time.
"Why don't you mind your own business Princess!"
Without warning, the Pegasus stabbed the Princess, piercing her heart.

The time stopped, everything around me went white. The Princess body was on the ground. I went to her help.
"Princess! Are you alright?!"
"It's to late General, I am dead, what you see of me is the sprit of Aeon."
I tried to understand...
"You see... Aeon is a spirit and it needs a host. When this host die, Aeon need to change of host, or the world will end."
"So what's going on then?"
"I saw you, I know I can trust you. I chose... you."
"Me? Why Me?"
"Because, you have something most of the ponies in this world doesn't have. You care more about the others than yourself. Aeon's spirit will give you the knowledge and his memories, will be your memories."
"What do I have to do?"
"Touch my horn with yours."
I obey and I slowly approached my horn towards the Princess. At the impact a bright light came out. I heard a voice.
"One last thing... Save my baby."
"Wait what!"
*Black Out*

When I opened my eyes, I was standing in front of the Princess dead corpse. The pegasus looked at me, then he moved back wards. I looked at myself, I was different, I was bigger, lighter, I had wings and my coat was a lighter blue. But... in my head everything was normal, I knew everything.
Two Alicorns were behind me. A mare and a Stallion. I knew who these were, they were my brother and sister Aera and Wit.
"She asked me to save her baby."
"Don't worry brother, let us take care of it."
Aera's horn started to glow, I looked at the corpse and the baby magically popped out in the airs.
"She is alive..."
I looked at Wit.
"Something is off"
"Indeed, She doesn't have a physical sister, but I feel two lifes inside her."
"Her sister may be dangerous, for her safety and the safety of the others, her sister, nor her should know that she is an Alicorn."
My horn started to glow and I casted a camouflage spell. And the baby's wings magically dissapeared.
"Only a powerful Alicorn will be able to remove this spell."
"Should we name her?"
I thought for a second.
