//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Lulisha // Story: The New Line // by Prince Aeon //------------------------------// Lulisha It was a beautiful morning, today was the big day, the one that made my heart pump loudly each seconds I was getting closer from it. I don't know if I had to be scared or happy to be here right now. I looked at the distance throught the window. I could saw the Pony kingdom, my peoples were really intolerant against them. Griffons hates Alicorns more than anything, they dislikes everything about magic. Even Pegasus are only a little bit of tolerance. "Very funny that you are thinking about us my dear!" I jumped and turned around to see the shadow looking at me, I stepped back. He was so mighty compared to me. "Wha... What are you doing here! GUAR..." Suddently, my mouth couldn't create any sound... I was scared. He removed his hood, his pale blue eyes were like sparkling diamonds, his thin pupils was absorbing all my thought, he was an Alicorn. "Don't worry Lulisha, I am not here to harm you, au contraire, I know the fact that somepony wants to." The spell on my mouth got released. "What's the business of somepony against me." "The pony that wants to end your life wants to make pay the ones that had a life that she didn't. Also, the pony manipulating her knows that your death may cause a war between Griffons and Ponies. To do so, it have to be obvious that it's a pony that took you life and everypony have to witness it. That is why you will need to do exactly what I tell you to do." King Galliroy Today was a great day, my daughter was growing in the steps of her father. I was so proud of her. The griffons will all gather to see the big day of my little Lulisha. I stepped on the stage. "Dear Griffons, We are gather here for the coronation of my lovely daughter Lulisha, that will be from this day forth, Princess" The crowd went crazy from screams of joy, to cheers and claw clapping. I raised my wing to present my daughter to the audience. She came out smiling, she had a dazzling outfit, from a diamond necklace to golden seams on her blue dress. I raised her crown in the airs like the tradition wanted to. It was shining the colors of emeralds and sapphire. The gold ornaments on the crown had the shape of a humming bird. "This is your big day Luli." I looked at her, she was looking around for something, I don't exactly know what. "Luli?" She popped out of her dreams. "Oh, of course daddy." I slowly dropped the crown on her head. There was a big, cold silence. When the crown touched the feather of her head, The worst happened. A purple beam pierced her innocent body, her eyes went wide as a small stray of blood came out of her beak. Her body fainted on the ground like if she felt asleep. The only sound that was heard was the impact of the crown that broke on the ground. "Why crying the death of some, when the others doesn't matter." I looked up to see a white Alicorn coming towards her body. "What have you done!" "She deserved what happened to her, She gained something that was taken from me. Anyway, she will be back from the dead in few seconds now, well, in some way." I could have called the guards, but there's nothing that they could do against an Alicorn, I didn't wanted an more wounded of my peoples. She approached her horn from Lulisha's lifeless head. When it was at one feet from it. Lulisha's claw grabbed the horn of her attackers. The crowd was crazy, wondering what was going on. I looked at Lulisha's wound and there was nothing. "Now Pisces, There is no escape." The orange eyes of the mare went wide. Aeon The plan worked perfectly, and Pisces felt right into it, Lulisha never moved from her room, and she have a good protection. I slowly took back my original shape. Now Pisces was checkmate and scared, I could saw the King wondering about his daughter. "Don't worry Galliroy, your daughter is safe, but to keep her safety, it should be better that I keep her location a secret." Pisces was scared. I could see it, she looked at me like if I was a ghost that haunted her dreams. "...And you are coming with me." I used a teleportation spell. The bright light brought us far beyond the lands ponies know, or griffons or any other race. We were at the Battlefield sanctuary, where it all begun. Emma was here, I brought her with the spell. Three Alicorns at the same time drain a little of my energy. Pisces seemed scared, like if she knew the place. I turned my head to see Aeon's Grave. "Here lies all your answers Pisces, so go, ask away. There is nothing to fear from me as long as you stay calm." She was holding back, like something... or somepony was holding her. "I... I want to know... Why... Why I was not raised as the pony I should have been, Why my mother left me as a unicorn, why did she abandoned me..." She was looking sad and angry, I couldn't really tell her real feelings... I sighed. "You were the most important thing at your mothers eyes, at my eyes, your mother was killed here, and in her last words, she wanted me to save you. Than she passed Aeon to his next host that was me... In some facts Pisces, you are my daugther." She froze, stunned by the reality, she couldn't believe her ears. "Me and my sister found weird that you didn't had yourself a sister at your birth but... we felt two lifes in you. I couldn't risk that your sister would be evil or not so I hid your powers from her. Then I wanted to wait until you were ready to know the truth before I revealed your true self. But you somehow discovered and in your rage, your sister took over and I couldn't take the chance to reason with you until you accepted the reality, so I've waited, but you never stopped to hunt the truth." A tear came out of her thin pupil like mine, I knew I was talking to Pisces and not her sister. She regretted all her crimes. Suddently, something happened... "He's lying, there is no doubt, he cannot be our mother. He just want you to believe his lies." "No! I trust him, he wants to help me and I see that he is honest!" "You are so pathetic Pisces, you will never find the truth, you only need to make the world pay" "Shut up Gemini!" Emma looked at me "Is she talking to herself?" "No... she is talking to her sister, she called her Gemini."
