Eclipse Rises

by Demon Killer


3.Time for an Explanation

After a long silence Twilight broke it by asking Celestia why he doesn't act like a brother to Celestia.

"He believes I took his friends away," Celestia sighed and the others could see tears forming in the alicorn's eyes, "I don't know what made him believe that."

"Maybe because you told him to make friends and he made friends like me then you "took" them away."Discord decided to butt in and try to make a good reason for Eclipse's thoughts.

"But you were a bad influence for him at the time," Celestia shot an angry look at Discord for his words, "and you almost drove Equestria intto chaos."

"I know i just wanted to bring that up because that's when he started thinking that." Discord was confident that this was when it started and he felt like Celestia needed to know that information.

"Ok but how does he know Sunset?" Twilight asked this was bugging her since he arrived.

"Unlike Luna when she was Nightmare Moon he wasn't technically banished so he had the freedom to come back and visit and eventually over the years he met Sunset in the middle of her studies." Celestia free explaining let out a sigh and walked to a door that was locked away

"What's that princess?" Applejack asked in a true confusion, "I don't think we've noticed that room before." The other ponies nodded including Discord he also hasn't noticed this room before even after he was reformed. Celestia unlocked the door and a room with the sun and moon on opposite sides of the room and there were some foal toys lied on the floor just there to gather dust and webs.

"This was his room when we first came here but nopony knew him except me, Luna , and Discord. He was a newborn when me and Luna found him he was and this room was brought from the Castle of the Two Sisters only Luna and I are allowed in here and we only came in here when we needed to think of what he needs to do in his future when he returned." Discord walked in the room and looked at the toys and memories came rushing back to him and he began to laugh playfully.

"I still remember the day when we played that prank that day he got his Cutie Mark." Discord said to himself and was almost in tears of the fact that his little friend is a full grown stallion even though he still watched him grow when he was in his stone prison.

"He was a good colt and then he started playing pranks with Discord, but they weren't dangerous except for that one," Celestia was explaining the his story to the six mares and after she was done she took everypony out and locked the door once again never knowing when that door shall be open again. "Once Eclipse comes back you should spend time to get to know him better."

"Ok Princess, but what if he doesn't want to know us he didn't really seem that enthused about us?" Twilight wasn't really excited to know him either after how he treated them earlier, and all the others wasn't excited either except Rarity because she wanted to see if she could get him to be a little bit nicer.

"Come on darling we must at least try if we can get to know him he might act a little different." Rarity was trying her best to persuade her friends to do what she wants to see if her plan actually works

"I would also not to mention Nightmare Forces cause he's become a keeper for them and they stay in his head and he's had a problem with one that he doesn't like mentioning." Celestia's warning came a shock to everypony they didn't know that anypony could be a keeper of Nightmare Forces and even saying them brought back awful memories to Rarity.

"Why is that one trouble?" Twilight asked her former teacher. Rarity was getting nervous about him now, but she still wanted to know him it was just saying one was giving him trouble made her a little scared.

"He says he's still out there but I don't know if he really is, but just don't mention it please." Celestia was also nervous because she thought they'd ignore her warning.

"Okey Dokey Lokey," Pinkie said with a little excitement in her voice, "We cross our hearts hope to fly stick a cupcake in our eye." Pinkie did the motions as she made the promised and the others waited a while before they did the same. The six mares left the room and looked for Eclipse when they ran into Luna.

"Luna can you tell us where Eclipse's room is?" Twilight asked liked she was in a hurry even though she wasn't.

"His room is down the hall, but he's at the barracks to see the guards, and he wanted to see your brother since Shining Armor and Cadence are here." Luna told the six ponies this and they were confused

"Why's he talking to Shining Armor?" Twilight asked, and Luna looked at them for a while then smiled and told them

"Eclipse is going to be in charge of the guards and he wanted to get to know his new right hoof pony. " Luna had to think for a bit then she left l, and the six went to the barracks.
