Day 298-Damages
As I was walking down the hallway, I saw Queen Chrysalis with Discord, and I know it mustn't be good.
"Wait, WHAT!?" asked Discord. Based off of his emphasis, he must be surprised.
"You know something must be done, now that Solaris encountered the mare in the black coat," said the Queen. When she saw me approaching, she just left, leaving me with Discord.
"Discord, what's going on?" I asked. He looked to his side, giving a concerned look on his face before leaving me as well. I don't know what's going on, so I followed him to the Grey Area, where Chrysalis was expecting us again.
"Solaris has betrayed us," said the Queen.
"What!?" I was confused over how my own best friend would betray me, or rather, our Organization.
"You two witnessed that thing accompanying the impostor. What else?" My horn briefly flashed when she said "that thing," but there must be more to this situation.
"That's not proof enough! There must be a reason why she was with her." I turned to Discord in the hopes that he'll come up with another logical reason to back me up, but he lowered his head, still with a look of concern written on his face.
"Maybe we know, but maybe you don't want to accept it."
"She must have been forced to." That was a lame opinion.
"Puh-lease! I don't have time to hear some sympathetic remarks from you." It sounds like she's wrapping up the argument, but I refuse to give up.
"They aren't sympathetic! Why don't you understand my doubts?" Discord came to my side and shook his head, meaning I should give up reasoning with her. Oh well, I was running out of inspiring comments to throw at her.
"The impostor has reappeared in Twilight Town. You are to find and destroy her--like I asked you to do yesterday." I accepted my mission with doubts still in my mind. "Discord, you are to retrieve Solaris. Hopefully, she won't be much trouble for you to handle. But if she is, you can use an effective way to stop her." My heart jumped a beat when she said that. I didn't want my best friend to harm another. I thought about talking to her about it, but because of my previous performance, I just backed out as she walked away.
"This is quite the doozy, eh?" asked Discord.
"You're not going to follow what she said, are you?" I asked, wanting to make sure Solaris is returned safe and sound.
"No worries. I'll think of something when I find her. Just worry about the impostor, because it looks as though she won't go down without a fight."
"Alright."
***
I walked around Twilight Town, hunting for the impostor, while thinking about what I know was Solaris yesterday, and who the other mare was with her. I just don't understand why she didn't get away from her. Suddenly, I saw a figure in a black coat, which I believe is the impostor. I chased her all over the town square, until finally finding her in an empty lot. I saw her remove her hood to reveal herself as Solaris, and I was lucky not to kill her.
"Where were you?" I asked her. "Discord and I were looking all over trying to find you."
"You were?" she asked, trying to sound surprised, but depressed instead. "Sorry about that."
"Let's just RTC. If you return voluntarily, Queen Chrysalis will drop this matter. She must." She didn't cheer up when I told her how I thought the Queen would handle it. "Look, I don't care what she said about you. I'll be with you the entire time. Me and Discord will ensure that--" I was cut off when I reached out for her and both of her right legs skidded back, as if she's trying to avoid me.
"I can't right now." I came all this way of finding her, so why is she saying that she doesn't want to go home.
"Why? It'll be all right, I swear." She then started to walk away, but I was desperate. "Don't go!" I used my magic to get a hold of her tail, but when she summoned her Keyblade, my magical grip faded away. She then held its tip straight at my face, like the Keyblade would fire a magical spell at me. It moved away from me when it deflected another Keyblade that stuck to the ground. I recognized the features of this particular type of Keyblade and turned to see Discord approach us.
"Nice to see you again, Solaris," he casually said. I know he was supposed to find Solaris, but how could the search lead him to our current position. However, before I could ask him, Solaris ran at him, her Keyblade trailing behind. Discord teleported his Keyblade to him and both engaged each other in a heart-breaking Keyblade Duel, with me only watching, trying to find a place to tell them to stop it. When both were a great distance apart, Solaris began to charge at him, when I decided that this must stop now.
"STOP IT!" My shout was enough to distract Solaris with a passing glance to me when I saw Discord teleport behind her and slap her on her neck, knocking her out and her Keyblade disappearing. Solaris was now being held by Discord and carried on her shoulder. I ran for her, but Discord gave me a sad glance and snapped his fingers, causing a Corridor of Darkness to swallow them up and fade away. I was worried about Solaris and angry with Discord, so I used my own Corridor to return to the Castle to find Discord in the Grey Area. "Discord!" He heard me and turned around to face me.
"Hey, Moondancer," said Discord, sounding like everything is alright when I know it's not.
"Where's Solaris?"
"She's alright, don't worry about it." That's not a place, it's a condition, and even though I know she's okay, I still wasn't finished with him.
"Why'd you do that?"
"I've done nothing." Some fancy clothing appeared on him with a flash of light. "Why, I'm not as harmful as you think." That act didn't fool me.
"There was no reason to use force."
"Wasn't there?"
"Of course there wasn't! We're supposed to be friends. You know that." His calm expression fell as his fancy clothing teleported away.
"It's not about friendship." I was about to say something else, but how was I supposed to compete with that statement? He should know that friendship is being civil to one another, not with violence. "Well, I gotta go." He then walked off, leaving me with unanswered questions and comments. I don't know if I should continue my friendship with Discord or I shouldn't. Either way, I hope he never harms Solaris, or to a lesser extent, me ever again.
