//------------------------------// // You Again! // Story: Story Of An Alicorn // by Applepip //------------------------------// I walked alongside Twilight and Celestia, Always thinking about what happend in my dream, I side glance at Luna, If she showed any emotion from last night, She was good at hiding it, Almost as if she could sense me her ears picked up and looked at me, Suddenly realising she was stareing my way i raised my head high and gave her a cheeky grin, Luna giggled, "Prince Valder," Celestia started, "This is a great day for you as you take your place in Equestrian royalty," She stops turns to me and smiles, "And is also a great day for you and my former student," Twilight blushes, But i notice Luna's head lowers, "Luna, We must prepare the crowd," Celestia and Luna unfold their wings and walk through a set of gold curtains to a balcony, Where Princess Celestia starts to address the crowd, "People of Canterlot, Today we celebrate a momentous occasion, Today a new face is added to our royal family," Celestia turns to the curtain and i notice a small nod my way, I walk forward, But just before i reach the curtain, Twilight stops me and gestures with her wings, "Hold your wings up," She says, "Why?" I reply "It's makes you more regal," I nod and unfold my wings, My wingspan equally as big as Celestias, With one small gulp of air, I walk out onto the balcony, Celestia carries on, "Today we mark the rise of a new prince, Prince Valder of Equestria," The crowd goes wild, It was the greatest thing i've ever seen, Thousands of Caterlot and Surrounding town's citizens line the castle grounds, I give them a wave, "Oh, Your good!" I freeze, I look around trying to understand who said that, "Close, But not warmer," The voice lets out a laugh, "Who are you?" I think to myself, "Oh, Are you really that naive, The great Prince Valder," Another laugh is heard, "With all that time i spent in your head, The least you could do was remember me!" I now start to panic, "Darkside, But how?" I now start to notice the princessess looking at me, "Valder is everything alright?" Celestia asks, "I'm fine, It's just alot for me to take in," Celestia nods, "Then perhaps you would like to rest awhile, Me and Luna can finish here," I nod and bow as i take my leave, I notice Luna not taking her eye's off me until i walked out of sight, "Maybe it was not a good idea," Luna turns back to her sister, Seeing confusion on her face Luna continues, "I mean giving him a princehood, It seems it hasn't quite sunk in yet," Celestia nods, "But it was the right thing to do given his past with us," Celestia lowers her head and a tear forms, "Then maybe we should tell him, Atleast let him know who he is," "And what then? Do you think he will believe us? That armour was the last piece to the puzzle, If he didn't react to it, Then what he was is lost," Luna walks back to the curtain, "I just don't believe that, I really don't, I want to tell him more than anything," "I know you do sister, But we have no idea what that will do, It could tear his mind asunder," Celestia gives the crowd one final verbal send off before turning to Luna, "We will know when it is the right time, And only then will we truly find out, It's him!" Luna rubs her head against Celestias wing, "Thank you, Sister," And they both re-enter the castle, I walk along a small hallway the seems out of the way before i confront the voice again, "How did you do it?" "Well contrary to popular belief, I am not stupid, I knew your precious Twilight would see the flaw in my spell, So i kept just enough of me back to annoy you, And it seems like i was succesful," I frown, Then why now, And not after the battle," There's a long pause, "Darkside," Another pause, "You know, You have a wonderful mind, Even i havn't seen it all, But there's a place i can't go, Curious," I start to wonder what he means, "How so?" "It seems there is an area in your mind sealed by magic, I cannot bypass it," I hear the tension in his voice, "Maybe it was sealed for a reason?" "Hmm, Just makes me wonder, The memories contained within date back to when the princessess were born," I stop, "Really?" Stupid question of course it's true, I have felt it sometimes, That missing part of my memories, The time about 1200 years ago, Nothing just blankness, 100 years gone, After that i can remember everything, I rub my head, "Oh, Whats wrong my tampering giving you a headache?," "It's been a long night, I'm just, Still tired," The voice chuckles, "Yes, The dream with Luna was so interesting," I panic, "You saw that?" "Of course i did, I'm not blind, I can see everything you can, Just i am not strong enough to interact....Yet!" I frown again, "You will never take me over again!" All i heard after that was laughter, Strange maniacal laughter, I thought to myself, Who had the only magic back in my past to hide an entire set of memories?, I sat and thought looking out over Canterlot, Until i suddenly realised something, I was the only pony powerful enough to do it, either that or Discord, But he would see no fun in it, The only one who seems to know, Though i didn't tell her, Was Luna, But it seems like she always knew, I have to know, And the only one who will tell me is her, I stand up and run towards Luna's quarters, Just as i arrive Luna is entering through the huge double doors to her bedroom, "Luna!" I shout, She turns smiling to see me, I stop just as i get to her, Panting heavily i demand, "You know something of my past, Why i have 100 years gone from my memories," I notice her two guards approch me, "Tell your guards to stand down Luna or i swear it will be the last thing they do!" Luna see's a small red glow come over my eye's but it passes quickly, Luna waves off her guards and sighs, "Maybe you should come in," She turns and gestures me to follow, Then as i pass she talks to her guards, "Please, We do not wish to be disturbed, The guards nod, After closing the door she looks at me, The anger still present in my face, "You better sit down," she gestures to a cusioned area by the fire, "Because you won't like what you hear!"
