//------------------------------// // I getting tired of naming chapters for this dream scape arc so this is the rest ...(part 1)..... yeah, I'm cruel. // Story: Undisclosed Desire // by Dark Enigma //------------------------------// Wind blows, but even the dust on the ground refuses to move. Silver is at a lost for for words--everypony is. Suddenly, Silver's face scrunches up into a scowl. "I don't believe you." Eve responds, "The Doctor didn't go back in time to get me. He went forward." "That's a lie." "My mother, your wife, was named Twilight Crimson." "Stop it! Stop lying!" Evening stomps the ground, "I'm your daughter! Whether you accept it or not, it IS true." "It's impossible! Crimson is dead. And my real daughter--" "Is suspended in a magical space Crimson created as she died in your hooves... pregnant. Surprised I know that? I know much more. Care to test me?" Silver stays silent. His eyes droop down and stays silent. After a few moments, his head shoots up. "Trixie! I wish the gate key was here." Trixie stands. "As you wish master." And she makes it so. A twinkling appears before Silver in the shape of a ring and out of the gleam materializes the key to the city, round and red hot. At that, Silver turns to Evening Glimmer. "Now can you dig me out?" "But--" "I got you a way back into the city. Losing a wish makes my mission much much harder, but... I owe you that much." Silver's tone isn't acidic as it was. He took a kinder tone--almost fatherly... almost. "Silver... I can help. I want to help you." "No! I've had enough heart break to put you in any danger. If you die, I don't want to live knowing my daughter to going to be swiped away by some Doctor in the future only to never return home. Get out of here. And let me do what I have to do." "Silver," Evening whispers. She nods and teleports him out of the ground. "You... be careful out there." Silver grunts. "Come on, Trixie." With that, he gallops off. Trixie scoffs. "Are you really going to let him go? He didn't tell you what you wanted," she says to Evening. "I can go back to the city now. It's all I really wanted. And there's nothing I can do to change his mind. He'll weasel himself out of any situation to avoid letting anypony into his heart. And this was his final test to see if he would change, and finally let me in. He failed like he always does. Trixie?" Evening turns to her. "Take care of him. You're the closest he'll ever get to trusting somepony." Evening lights her horn in preparation of a spell. "Make his last few moments happy." Without another word, Evening along with Serbie vanish in a flash. As she left, Trixie swears she saw the Princess's eyes watering up. His last moments... Trixie thinks to herself. He's going to die...
