This mare seemed to be trying to befriend me as she kept speaking in weird "booboo" mannerisms. She tried to shove a plushy of Celestia at me, because, as I look at the surrounding foals, I could see that they were all hugging, playing, or...eating...a stuffed version of Celestia. I swatted it away and puffed up my face to show my disregard to such things. Berryngton jolted back in horror that I would swat away their "beloved" Celestia. I simply hid an evil smirk. She just stared at the pushie and tried levitating it towards me again. I'll never get used to that. As it floated in front of me, with that demonic smile, I turned my back and walked away. She seem flabbergasted. Instead, I grabbed an abandoned plushie of Luna with...my mouth, and walked back towards her with it. This thing was underneath one of the plastic play sets, in the hollow area.
Berryngton scratched the back of her head and shrugged.
"Ooookaaaay. Be...nice now."
Yeah. I scared her. Heh heh.
"Well, well. You were put here too?"a voiced asked behind me.
"The rat?"
"I'd prefer if you called me Scabby instead. Not the best of names, but, then again, my new mom is a complete and utter dumbass. Who is yours in this new life?"
"You didn't hear her?"
"No. Who?"
"Princess Luna is my mother."
His jaw dropped."Then who fornicated with that?"
"Noone. Apparently, I just flew into her room through the window."
His gaze set to a more serious wavelength."Ah. You were abandoned. Seeing how you flew through a window, I'm assuming that your parents were pegasi. Hmmm."
"Yes...well...I don't do too well with this whole thing."
"I'm doing perfectly fine. Apparently, my new father is a guard of your 'mother'."
"You mean those creepy bat guys that I always see snooping about."
Scabby's ears lowered in shame."Yes..."
(Narrator transition)
Berryngton had a hard time understanding the two foals. They were actually conversing with eachother. How? They were both barely a few days old. Not only that, but they displayed emotional spectrums normally unreachable by minds of that age. The most bizarre thing that she noticed was that they went to the bathroom by themselves. They didn't need to wear diapers. Scabby's mother simply saw this as a sign that her son was simply a gifted, super intelligent colt. Princess Luna, on the other hoof, simply considered it a source of her influence, despite him only being with her for, what...A few hours per day?
Then there was that situation she had heard about. They were already fighting when they met eachother, then they became best friends. That would require mature minds. She didn't know what was going on, but she had ears everywhere. Rose Milk had an idea of what was going on, but Berryngton didn't know what she was doing today. After all, Rose was randomly given tasks to do, tasks which she performed without end. Another superviser of the children, a black stallion with black eye-liner and anything gothic etched on him, walked into the entrance of the playground.
"Ah. Sunsu, how are you?" Berryngton asked, a smile carved on her face.
Sunsu's face was ever-frowning and unhappy, but this is what he showed to everypony that wasn't a foal. "Fine. I guess." he shrugged, his white lipstick cracking.
"Mmmm. I need to take over for a second. I have some information to obtain." Berryngton hopped off her chair and went halfway through the door.
"What kind of information?"
"Important information. Don't mind the two without diapers. They are...special." and with that, she was gone.
"Special?" Sunsu thought to himself.
The stallion's eye widened in horror as he looked at the scene. The two without diapers had reached the top of the biggest plastic playground and were shoving off all the others and boasting in victory. They did it in a manner that the ones who fell weren't hurt, but a few cried anyways.
"Just the day I chose to work at the castle's nursery."
Berryngton had run around everywhere, but she just couldn't find the silent mare. She stopped in the halls for a quick breather and some deep thinking. When a guard passed by, she put her thoughts into action.
"Excuse me. Guard?"
"Yes?"
"Do you know where Rose Milk is?"
"Yes. She has been tasked with cleaning the royal grave chambers."
Berryngton shivered."Wonderful. Thank you. I'll...I'll hurry up then."
The guard nodded and continued his patrol through the castle. The mare galopped quickly through the castle, down the stairs, then through the entrance, nearly knocking over a few invitees. Berryngton continued her rampage until she slid to a halt right in front of a gray dome of ancient architecture. It seemed Romanesque in appearance, but it had damaged gargoyles on the edges of the square the round dome rested upon. Berry took a deep gulp, opened the door, then went inside and closed the door right behind her. It was very dark, but a single weak source of blue light was coming from the ceiling. It was a used up Blom crystal, and it hung from a chandelier. Berryngton began to shake tremendously and looked around quickly and nervously.
"R-R-Rose? Where are you?"
As the scared pony walked around, her tiny hoof-steps causing the loudest noise ever in such a confined room, two, evily glowing pink eyes appeared on the ceiling. It gently hovered to the ground and quietly approached Berry from behind. When the mare turned around to see where that noise came from, the eyes moved as well. This continued for a few seconds until the creature slammed onto Berryngtom, making her scream like crazy and light her horn. She hadn't thought of that because of her fears. In front of her was a changeling baring its teeth and drooling slightly. The frightened mare was still trembling and seeing what caused her fright After awhile, Berryngton frowned and lashed at the changeling:
"This isn't funny, Rose."
"Heh. Atleast let me be happy for awhile. I've been stuck here for a few hours and cleaning this place isn't easy."
"Yeahhhhh. Listen. I know you know something about those two weird foals, especially the one Princess Luna has adopted."
"You're right, in one way. I only know about her son, but I think she already learned about his Volf Magic."
"Volf Magic?"
"Yes."
"What's that?"
"Not important."
"I see...Look, I know you KNOW something."
"Maybe. Maybe I know that they have a powerful magic lock on their souls that is cleansing them."
"Already, the lock is confusing enough, but cleansing their souls? Of what?"
"Of their memories. They don't know it yet, but when it is finished picking away, and breaks, their minds will be lost as well."
"Oh no." Berryngton's rear fell to the ground."How awful."
"There IS something strange going on, however."
Berry's ears perked up."Strange how?"
"Well, seeing how powerful such a thing is, they should have both lost their memories already, especially Luna's foal. I think that Volf Magic has something to do with it."
"What about it?
"I don't know! It's not because I spend my days reading in the restricted library that I can know everything about unknown magics. "
"Okay. Just keep out of sight when you're yourself."
"I know. I know."
Berryngton walked slowly towards the door, but put her hoof to her chin.
"You've never told any of us what happened to your child, and you've never told me how you got it in the first place."
"...That's for me to know only."
"Suit yourself."
As the visiting mare left, Rose Milk became more depressed than usualy, but continued on with her important task.
Celestia, while checking her calender, realized a small error she had committed.
"Oops. I mistakenly thought that there were two more days until Pumpkin's Dining. I best tell Luna so she can prepare in advance." Celestia thought aloud with a DIABOLICAL smile. Simply. Diabolical.
