//------------------------------// // The consequences of twilight sparkles action // Story: Brother To The Crown // by Thunder_Chaser_ //------------------------------// Meanwhile back in the Luna and Celstias castle. "TWILIGHT SPARKLE, explain yourself!!!" Celestia barked in her royal canterlot voice. "Chrysalis returned to take over equestria again...?" Twilight started realizing she might've mis-calculated a mistake Celestias thoughts ran through her mind, she valued her younger brother, however twilight's voice had a sound of guilt and a touch of confusion. She was at a checkmate with her own mind, she couldn't just banish her student to the moon-- She had lost her sister that way, she didn't wan to lose her student either. As celestias mind countered every single thought she had Luna felt Celestias mind stutter, she stepped in. "Twilight sparkle, chrysalis has been banished to a land of which she can't return from, we have ensured it--" "But she might've--" rainbow dash started "Neigh, she wouldn't dare think such a notion at the thought of herself being destroyed, you however have jumped to conclusions when if you had thought out you plan, we would not be in such a predicament right now-- would we?" The six ponies in front of her sighed in unison "B-b-but how???" Twilight stuttered "Meleniums ago, a colt heir was born to the throne, just years after myself" Luna said as she got up from her chair "As tradition for all royalty is to take to arms if their kingdom needs them, our parents before us fought in many wars to keep the peace in equestria, when we stepped up to rule, our kingdom was threatened by terrorists and ponies who'd wish to stoke us down and enslave us. "We however could not let this happen, before me or Celestia had a chance out brother was already on the frontline's, he had asked that we stay to keep the peace of the kingdom, while he fought for it overseas, he won the battle for our kingdom, but the threat was still large, he remained overseas to train and defend us. Many a time has he almost died, but he put his soldiers and kingdom before his own life. When ever he did visit, it was for short times. He rushed over here when he heard about nightmare moon--" Luna paused as the horrible name rolled off he tongue, she shuddered slightly, before she could continue Celestia cut her off. "He came to help save Luna from herself, but he came to late, the battle had been fought and won at a horrible cost, of our castle and our sister" she turned to Luna, who hung he head slightly, but perked up when she heard to the last part " he stayed for as long as he could, but war beckoned him as a terrorist group rose up and attacked manehatten, before anything could be done he was there saving life's, very few ponies and the guard knew who he was, and eventually he faded from history... Only a few pieces of literature remain that note his existence-- all are kept here under lock and key in the royal library."Celestia finished "And that's the history of our brother Eclipse up until a few years ago." Luna added "I-I-I n-never kn-knew" twilight said as she slowly started retreating backwards "As for your punishment twilight sparkle"Celestia started as she took a step foreword, Luna stuck out her fore hoof stopping her sister, she looked at her and nodded, and celestia stepped away, Luna began "As for your punishment twilight sparkle-" Luna was cut off twilight fell to her knees. "I-I surrender myself for my actions as an apology, I-I am deeply sorry, I never knew he was your brother or hat you had a brother,-- I-I-I-I'm sorry..." Twilight said, as a tear started to well in her eye "As for your punishment twilight sparkle, You shall not be punished, I believe and have faith in your apology, you and the other elements however shall apologize to Eclipse, he will probably accept it, I believe that it was a complete accident and that you jumped to conclusions before you had your true evidence... You have been excused, But twilight please don't have to make me or my brother or sister need to punish you..." Luna said with a smile MEANWHILE Eclipse felt his body began to warm, it was warming very rapidly. He started to feel the slight summer breeze wash over his body. Feeling was restored to his body, he knew it as he fell from the podium down to the ground. Ashe opened his eyes he noticed he was in the canterlot gardens, he saw three young fillies of orange, white, and yellow state at him, he also sensed nearby magical powers that were close to his own. He ignored the nearby magic and focused and the fillies in front of him. "Um... Hello?" Was all he could think of, the three fillies were dumbstruck, he'd been in this circumstance before when he was on a mountainous assault when he fell and woke up in a village and had to speak with the ponies there. He sat up and brushed the dirt of his combat uniform, he turned to the fillies who were now shocked even more by his size and that he was an alicorn. "Hello, my names Eclipse, If you would mind helping me, I would honour it." "H-Hi m-my names applebloom, this is sweetie belle and scootaloo" the yellow filly spoke up as she motioned to the other two fillies beside her "Well well well, little ponies, if it isn't my arch nemesis, Eclipse" discord said as he leaned on the podium "Discord-- if it isn't the devil himself... I thought you were imprisoned in stone?" Eclipse questioned as he looked his friend in the eye "No, a thank you would be fine- you were the one in stone." "Yeah I noticed that... So what have I missed?" "Nothin' " applebloom said "Really-- discord how long have I been in stone for?" "Well... I'd say about maybe an hour at most..." Discord said as he pretended to write up some fake math equation on a chalkboard while he was wearing a lab coat and goggles "Hmm okay then, I think we should head to the castle and uh, sort this "being imprisoned in stone for no reason" problem , would you like to accompany us, applebloom, scootaloo, and sweetiebelle?" He asked The trio were confused how he had memorized there names so quick, they shrugged it off and walked to the castle. During the trip Eclipse would be pelted with questions about who he was. But another magic noticed his energy signature suddenly pop up... BUT it was not of miniature horse proportions...
