-----Eclipse (2:38 PM) -----
I hadn’t encountered Luna in the castle; I wasn’t too upset about that. She is one of those few people that can read me extremely well. Well enough to the point that I can’t hide when I’m annoyed. I made it home and out back without much trouble. Little Luna still being towed behind me on a small cloud I had crafted. I still don’t understand her. She can walk on clouds, but she can’t eat, it’s just weird.
I walked to about the halfway point between my and Rainbow dash’s house. This gave me a good… Quarter mile to blow shit up. So that’s something. I spent a good few hours here. Eventually I had made myself a cloud chair, and was still sitting there, trying to create one of discords. Eventually I just gave up and started trying to guide a flame on my hand. Guide it. Not control. Ull seems like a smart cookie. But really. This is just…I don’t know, it’s just stupid trying to figure this shit out with everything going on.
I may, just MAY, be discord. If I’m right? Then I’m pretty damn sure I’m gonna start remembering everything he did. Most likely start hearing him too. If there’s one thing I’ve noticed over years of anime, it’s that the main character ALWAYS has psychological issues.
“This would be so much easier if I wasn’t so fucking confused!” I extinguished the flame and tried spawning another cloud, it came out stormy. I grabbed it and squeezed it in my hands, molding it into a ball. Which I then threw at the floor. It disappeared in a flash of light, leaving a small scorch on the grass.
“Well, maybe you’re angry as well?” Moon mist walked up, I don’t know how I didn’t see her.
“Maybe.” This is just depressing at this point.
“Eclipse, how are you sitting on those clouds? You’re not a Pegasus.” I could be. I may be able to sprout wings right fucking here. If I’m not mistaken, reality is my bitch. Which means I can alter my body to…Whatever.
“Uh… I don’t really know. Why don’t you try?” She stared a moment before shrugging and walking over. She tried placing a hoof on a bit of cloud off the side, her hoof passed through. She just shrugged…How the HELL do they do that… I then reached over and picked her up. Laying her on on my lap as I leaned back. Making the clouds push me into a laying position. This way she as lying on my chest.
“You’re in a foul mood… What’s up?” I just smiled as another stormy cloud appeared over her, I just waved it away.
“Just…Can’t figure out my own magic. How messed up is that.” She laid her head down across my shoulder and started rubbing the side of my face.
“You know most unicorns go their adolescent life without ever using magic?” Yea, cool. Unicorns, adolescent. Two things I’m not!
“Yea, I know you’re trying to help mist… I just… I’m sorry. Just in a foul mood in general today I guess.”
Yea, because after all, I just discovered I’m the god of chaos’s reincarnation. I think I have a few emo points I can cash somewhere.
“Oh eclipse… Fine.” She gave me a quick kiss and hopped off of my chest. When she hit the ground she turned to look at me.
“If you decide to stop being in whatever funk you’re in and want to get…Entertained. Then feel free to come inside. And yes, that is an innuendo.” She laughed and turned to walk back to the house.
“Yea… Get `er dog.” I mumbled as another failed storm cloud appeared. I brushed it away and continued.
------Rainbow dash (6:43 PM) -------
“Did it work?” I whispered as moon mist returned to the house. She just gave me a sad smile and shook her head. Light and I sighed as she walked to the back. We were all watching eclipse through the window. He looked down. He kept making clouds, I don’t know how but they almost always ended up stormy, he would bat them away after creating the stormy ones. The white fluffy ones he added to his chair. Which was now looking very comfortable in a laid back position.
“Why is dad acting like this rainbow?” I shook my head at light. I didn’t know what was making eclipse so… Blah, whatever it was though, I hoped it wasn’t contagious.
“Well light, I think humans are just sensitive to the feelings of the ponies close to them. So maybe you should go say hello and laugh a bit with him?” Moon mist… She was a great mom. Almost wish I knew my mom that well!
“Yea, your right! He will definitely cheer up after I go jump on him!” He laughed and bounded out of the room. Mist and I watched eagerly as he ran to eclipse. Eclipse turned to greet him and was tackled. After a moment they sat up. Eclipse was faking a smile.
“Didn’t work.” I sighed. A flash filled the air and every pony looked a little confused. We all shrugged it off and went back to spying on eclipse, or talking to him. Depends on your current position.
“I just don’t get it. Light jumping on him like that should have been an instant pick-me-up! It’s always worked!” Mist was going a little crazy. Loses him for two days because he almost dies, then he spends another night melting unnaturally cold ice. Now he’s all… Not eclipse!
“I don’t know… It’s a pretty weird situation though. Here comes the squirt. My turn?” I looked at mist who gave me a quick confirming nod. I flew out the door as fast as I could.
------Eclipse (6:54) ------
Light… Cute kid. I love the hell outta that boy. Don’t know what that flash was but whatever, I just need some alone time. I’m sure his mother sent him out here to ambush me like that. I shook my head and spawned another cloud. This one popped out in the shape of a circle. The edges were even smooth. I just broke it, and then rubbed my face. Something I hadn’t done in a while.
“So…Whatcha up to?” I looked up to see a smiley rainbow dash. The dots were now connected.
“So after you who’s gonna try and cheer me up?” She landed and kicked at the dirt.
“No one, I’m the last of us.” Hmmm.
“From Gallopfrey perhaps? The last of the time lords.” She looked at me like I was stupid.
“Seriously? No, I’m the last of the people trying to cheer you up.” I just nodded.
“Well… Yea, so stop being all sad and junk! It’s dumb!” I laughed.
“Well, I must say, I feel as though I’ve been cured, your actions have saved me dr.dash. How can I ever repay you?” I laid back on my cloud bed and spawned another cloud. This one came out blue. I grabbed it excitedly. And then got sad when I realized that it wasn’t cotton candy. It was just blue.
“You can stop being a jerk.” She offered. That’s what counts.
“Eh…. Too high on my priority list right now.” I added it directly under my head and continued.
“Man eclipse…What is up with you right now?” I laughed.
“Just a lot of shit on my mind dash. I’m sure it will all blow over eventually.” I hope.
“Well I’m not really sure if it will or won’t. But you know that we are always here if you wanna talk right?” I just nodded. She ended up sitting there...Waiting. So, why not make her uncomfortable.
“What did you think of discord?” She looked at me a moment and sighed.
“Since when did you know we were the elements of harmony?” Seriously?
“Let’s see… Right about the time I met you, I’m not gonna treat you differently dash. That’s not the kind of man I was…Am.” She nodded and looked up.
“Discord… He was… Interesting, I can’t say I hated him, I mean, yea he was a jerk, yea he almost destroyed everything. But to be honest… I think he was just lonely.” Wow… Very good observation.
“Lonely enough to almost kill ponies?” She laughed.
“He wouldn’t kill… Not on purpose. He gave us all we needed to survive, we just had to get used to the unusual delivery.” I suppose that IS true.
“I don’t know, you’re pretty much saying he was the nicest bad guy you’ve ever met.” She smiled and nodded.
“He was. Nightmare moon was…Terrifying, eventually crops would die and we would all suffer, sure discord would change the crops but most of them still provided food. Nightmare moon promised eternal night, he promised a few giggles!” I shook my head. She had points, but he was still dangerous.
“What about his ability to affect your minds? He was able to destroy your friendships.” She stared at me.
“How do you know about that?” Fuck… Right, I suppose that isn’t something they would tell everypony. Think think think…
“Fuck it, I’m not gonna lie. But you have to keep it a secret.” She eyed me a moment before nodding suspiciously.
“I may be discord.” And she’s staring at me.
“Right and I’m Celestia. What’s really wrong?” I just looked at her and smiled.
“I can see why you like these clouds so much, very plush.” She turned pale.
“Put`em up?” She offered, almost sadly.
“Hey, I’m here to deliver a message.” She was silent. I had seen the episode more than my fair share of times.
“I…” I just turned back to trying to create clouds.
“A weighty choice is yours to make rainbow…” I knew she would be scared, confused, and most likely angry. But… It’s not like I’m going to tell them that they are a TV show. Buck that noise.
She sat there for almost a full minute before taking off and flying to her house. I expected as much.
“Sorry dash.” I watched as another cloud appeared. This one immediately started raining on little Luna, she just looked at me like I was a dick. I swatted it away and watched as she shook off.
“Sorry Luna.” She huffed and laid back on the cloud. This time though she just watched me.
I turned away and tried another cloud. This one came out pink, but no moving of its own accord or raining chocolate milk. It didn’t even taste like cotton candy. At least it was the right color. That’s a step in the right direction.
