Pisces

4980 years ago

I knew I was different. I was smarter, taller, better in quite all the domains. Ponies taught me something and I cannot forget it. A perfect note in all my exams... But that's not what was strange. Everypony seemed like they didn't cared, like if I was normal, I knew I wasn't a normal unicorn, the look on their faces, not impressed almost if I disgusted them, even my parents.
But one pony was standing higher than all of them. Lige Sandhed. He is the only one in all of them that understood how I felt, the only that treated me as a pony. He loved me more than anypony else in this foresaken city. I wanted to die but he was holding me by his presence, he was happiness in a body. I could pass days sitting to his sides. He was the only thing that matters for me.
I woke up one day. It felt different... I looked outside, a dark black cloud was in the sky, it almost felt like it was still night. What was going on? I rammed open the door outside. Black stripes were striking ponies, killing them on impact, the visions of the horror was in front of my eyes, was it a nightmare? I went back inside and hid from the apocalypse.
When the clouds went away, I ran to search for Lige. I ran for about ten minutes, looking at all the corpses, hoping to not see his.
"Piiisces.."
I turned my head, I screamed, his lung was pierced and the hole was pure darkness.
"It's going to be alright Lige, I am going to save you!"
I tried to heal him with the basic healing spell. Something was holding the magic back.
"I don't understand. Why doesn't work!!"
I casted the magic harder and harder, using all my inner energy, everything that I've got. Then I felt something, a bigger energy, it was burning, then I exploded, I became bigger, my horn grew in size and when I looked back, I had wings. I was an Alicorn.
The truth froze me, why in Equestria was I, Pisces, an Alicorn, a Princess.
"Lige... I... I am an Alicorn."
"Of course you are, please help me."
"You... knew about it?"
"Everypony in town knew about it, that's why they all feared you, but I love you. Please... the pain..."

My head was burning, like if I was losing consciousness, a single word was repeating in my head.
"Gemini, Gemini, Gemini, Gemini..."

I could see, hear, smell, feel but I could not talk, I wasn't me. I was somepony else.
"Pisces, help me... please..."
I laughed, quite madly.
"You pathetic unicorn fooled me, you hid me from my destiny, the faith that you face, you deserve it."
I turned around and slowly walked away from him, a smile on my face. Satisfied.
"Pisces.... Piiiiiscesss.... Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiisceeeeesssssssss.........."
His voice faded away. I turned around.
"This place needs a final touch."
I casted the flame spell and lit all the hay on sight. The fire rapidly spread from a building to another, soon enought, the whole town was burning. I was in the middle, laughing, scaring myself. I was not Pisces.
"Gemini"

Aeon
I cut the memory spell, shcked by the reality, discovering what happened in the village of Galloponia. When me and my broder and sister went there. All we found was ashes, no memories, nothing.
Pisces was looking down, ashamed.
"Don't worry Pisces, you are not the one responsible for all this."
I was referring to her sister, but her answer was worse.
"You're right, he is."
She pointed something behind me. I looked...
"That's impossible..."
Emma slowly walked close of me.
The black and green pegasus was too much familiar. He was exactly how my memory remembered him. 
General Corr.

"You remember me Aeon? I am really suprised."
"Tell me how and I shall answer your snake questions."
"You see, when I killed... you... you gave a big part of your powers to him, but with the physical contact I had with you, I too had some powers, but not enough to be immortal, so I had to find a way. Being a pegasus wasn't easy to use them. So after few years, I ran into a friend of yours. Does the name «Paradoxus» tells you something?"
I hated to hear that he had something to do with this.
"So that means that I never had all my powers."
"Indeed, your friend knew my ineer power. I needed to be immortal, he taught me, without a horn, to manipulate shadows and souls. He showed me that every souls I get, I was increasing my lifetime. But I had to find a lot of souls at the same time. I found a town named Galloponia."
Pisces froze when she heard the name of the town. Me, I was thinking, Millions of questions gathering around one question, what really happened in my life? Emma was shaking, I put my wing around her.
"But I recently found something, if I absorb the soul of an Alicorn, my power will grow stronger. Paradoxus merged with me, and now we are one..."
"Where is my daughter Corr."
He pointed his head with an evil smile.
"In here."
A tear came out of Emma's eye.
Corr looked at Pisces.
"I won't need you anymore, actually, I will..."
He opened his mouth, a black stripe came out and pierced Pisces chest. She gasped and collapsed. The stripe tore out two light balls. Pisces soul and Gemini's. The stripe pulled back and Corr crushed the souls in his mouth.
Astonished I watched in horror, trying to calm Emma. Corr laughed.
"Hahaha... six alicorn souls are mine."
"Six?"
"Mine, Paradoxus, Raven, Pisces, Gemini and a mare that I crossed, her name is Flare..."
The ground started to shake.
"Oh yes... I feel the power..."
Corr's body started to grow, he slowly started to have the shape of an Alicorn. This was bad... He was alread powerfull enough, now he have a horn. He slowly opened his eyes...
"Now, join me..."
