//------------------------------// // Chapter 13 // Story: A past that I did not see coming // by sakuralovelight //------------------------------// ~~~ Last Time ~~~ … So Solarium decided to explain. "That only been because, Twilight had a panic attack and you went and took her into my room. While knowing for a fact that if I calm her down she would end up falling asleep. And we couldn't risk we cannot afford her going back in her panic attack now could we?" At hearing this their parents looked back towards Luna who was now blushing and embarrassed. So after they all continue eating their supper and recited to bed. ~~~ And now Hearth's Warming Day! ~~~ The next day was Hearth's Warming and everyone was surrounding the Hearth's Warming tree. They had been exchanging presents for some time until they came to Solarium's present that he had made for Twilight. It was the last gift to be, opened and Solarium had wanted it that way. "Here Twilight I hope you like it." At this point Twilight took the present and began unwrapping it. Only to find reveal book cover. The book was decorated with a very beautiful design. It was white and on each corner was a purple five pointed star. This made a total of four on the front cover and four on back and on the spine itself it had five of them in a row. In the center of the top cover, it had Solarium's cutie Mark. But what shocked Twilight was in the center of Solarium's Cutie Mark. It was a magenta six pointed star! She began to wonder if Solarium knew what her real cutie Mark looked liked or if it was just a weird coincidence, so she decided to ask. "I understand the five pointed stars and your cutie Mark. But what is with the six pointed star?" Hearing the question Solarium blushed. "In all honesty I don't really know why I did that, it just felt right for some strange reason." Twilight nodded her head, and looked back to the book. She opened it up wondering if there was something she was missing that would explain why the book had no pages. Seeing this Solarium knew what she was thinking and was sorry that he did not tell her what the book was for beforehand. "Oh Twilight it's something on a unique that my parents developed some time ago. It's an infinity book, you can take any book and tap the spine of the book to the inner spine of the infinity book and it will attach itself to the infinity book. You can even make the book to go in alphabetical order or based off what type of book it is by channeling your magic. Normally the infinity book will only work for the one who created it. But there are exceptions that I used so that both you and I can place any book into the infinity book whenever one of us wants to. As soon as you place your own magic into the book, you won't need to use up bookshelf to carry all your books you pretty much will have a library in one book. So what do you think do you like it?" At hearing this Twilight was, shocked she never heard of such a book and for Solarium to make something like this and the fact that he was willing to give it to her. It showed just how much he really would go for her. She looked up to them with tears in her eyes. "Like it. I love it!" And at that moment Twilight jumped towards Solarium. Wrapped her front four legs around Solarium's neck and kept on crying. With tears of joy. For a moment Solarium was shocked at this. But then reciprocated the hug from Twilight, glad that she liked it. ~~~ Meanwhile, back in Twilight's real time... ~~~ Celestia was looking at a book not just any book. It was the infinity book she gave Twilight back when she was Solarium in a past Hearth's Warming Day. The day after they started going out. Over the time that they spent together before that unicorn killed Twilight. She would place many inside the infinity book but after Twilight's death. Celestia started putting books in the infinity book that had stopped being made. Books that have now ceased to exist. Especially when the Canterlot Castle library wanted to get rid of old books. To make room for new ones. In fact, when the Castle of the two sisters was destroyed, Celestia got a copy of every single book from the castle of the Two Sisters. And she placed them inside Twilight's Infinity Book. Except those that had dark magic in it. Doing this helped Celestia feel as if Twilight was still with her. At the moment Celestia was placing more books in to the infinity book. But this time she was placing the books that Twilight Sparkle had read during her time staying at the Castle as her student, as well as a copy of every Daring Do book in the series while eating a slice of chocolate cake. All the while tears were streaming down Celestia's face. Celestia did not believe that Twilight survived from that attack all those years ago. She did not believe twilight would return to this timeframe at the moment she was hit. She had no hope. "I failed you again Twilight Sparkle. First I failed you with trusting you when Queen Chrysalis was pretending to be Candace. Then there was the time when I didn't trust you to handle Tirek and had Discord go after him. Only for him to get tricked into joining forces with Tirek then. As soon as that happens, I tell you to take all of our all Alicorn magic and make a run for it and to hide, not trusting that you could handle him at that time. But the biggest day there I have for you was really good in the past all along. I field from making certain that you would not go back in time. If only I could've figured out that you and Twilight Shimmer were one of the same. I would've done everything in my power keep you from falling victim to that gem again. I would've gone so far as even sending some Royal guards. To watch over you and make certain that you stayed safe so I would not lose you again. Sure in doing so I would not remember you as Twilight Shimmer and we would have never fallen in love. But at least you be safe and alive. I'm so sorry Twilight please forgive me." At this Celestia cried even harder than she had before. Just then a scroll appeared in front of her. Seeing this came to Celestia as a shock. Wondering what Luna wanted to say, she opened the scroll and began to read it. As soon as she read that Discord knew what that gem was and that he had something that could tell him how the gem work. And maybe even how to reverse it. Celestia's heart began to fill up with hope. "We might still have a chance on saving Twilight." At that moment Celestia just wanted to rush to Discords house to help search for the device. But it said that she should stay at the Castle and that the two would meet her there. As soon as she was, done reading it. She decided to make herself more presentable for when the two came back to the Castle. She also debated whether or not she should do something on a certain topic. ~~~ Meanwhile, With Discord and Luna... ~~~ The two finally made it to Discords hose and Luna was getting prepared to deal with a chaotic mess in the attic. She knew that attics can be very messy and unorganized in normal homes. And she was certain that Discords would be far worse than any attic anyone would ever see. When the two made it up to the attic, Luna's mouth went agape. She couldn't believe her eyes! The attic was not messy at all! It was well organized, almost as if Twilight paid a visit and organized Discords attic for him. She slowly turned her head towards Discord before asking. "How is it that the spirit of chaos has an organized attic? When other places than home normally have attics little chaotic and messed?" At hearing this Discord showed a little bit of embarrassment. "To tell you the truth it used to be that way. But over the years it just became so hard for me to find anything. And when a lot of my magical items and such are super sensitive to my chaos magic. I have to be careful, so I at least keep my attic organized. So I made attic rooms that go by the last year I used it. I do this because the closer it is to the attic entrance, the more recently I used it. And the more recently I used it, the more likely I am to use it again sometime soon. But the father back. It is the more likelihood it will never be used again. But I keep it just in case. So since I last time used the device was 3000 years before I met you and now it has been 1000 years since then... That would mean it would be in my 4000 years ago section. But once we enter the 4000 years ago section of my attic. That's when it's gonna be chaotic and disorganized." At hearing this Luna nodded her head and the two started heading off to that section of the attic. ~~~ End of chapter 13 ~~~
