//------------------------------// // Reseraction of Siblings // Story: A Filly and Her Wolf // by Teotle //------------------------------// In the wolf fortress arena, Teotle stood over his mother, who lay dead from Smoke's dagger. Every pony and wolf watched him as he stared at her body. He was gripped his paws and clenched his teeth. "Teotle?" Nyx asked, hoping for a response. Teotle said nothing. He looked at Smoke, who was still restrained by the other sisters of the shadow. His eyes began to glow red as he stared down at her. "MURDERER!" He yelled, picking up his sword and charging at Smoke. The mothers quickly stepped back, knowing that Teotle meant to attack no matter what. His wrath took him. He was going to make a swing at Smokes neck when Fracture jumped in front of him and socked him in the face. "Snap out of it!" Fracture demanded. "I know your upset, brother, but your doing exactly what she wants." "What?" Teotle growled. "She want's you to lose control of your power so that you will go on a killing spree." Fracture said. The more of father's power you have, the more likely you lose control. What if you went and killed Twilight during your outburst? If that happened, there would be no stopping him from being reborn. Teotle looked back at Twilight. Nyx was hiding behind her with her ears flat and her body shaking. She was afraid of him. He knew that Fracture was right, so he took a deep breath and put his sword away. "Thanks, sister." He said. "It's ok, Teotle." Said Fracture. "I think we both know what to do now." "Yes, I think we do. "Teotle replied. "Its time to bring back the other siblings." "What?" Asked Twilight. "What do you mean?" Teotle turned to her and answered, "The power of Shadowflame can't be destroyed by the Elements of Harmony. It can only be changed or passed on. When we were babies, Shadowflame's power passed onto us after the princesses killed him, to preserve his life. Now we need to keep that power separated among the seven of us, his children, and make sure he never comes back." "How?" Asked Rainbowdash, pointing at Brimstone's corps. "Aren't your other siblings dead?" "Yes, they are." Replied Deathkiss. "But they have a way to fix that." With that, Teotle walked over to Brimstone and put a paw on his body. Brimstone then began to ignite from Teotle's blue flames. his head was reatached to his neck and with in seconds, he sprung to life, gasping and holding his paw around his neck. Brimstone looked around and asked, "What happened, why am i still alive?" He looked at Teotle and said, "You killed me!" "Yes, I did." Teotle commented. "But right now, we need you and the others alive." Brimstone looked back at his mother and said, "What does he mean?" "They intend to keep our master dead." Smoke answered. "They are disrupting the ritual." Brimstone looked back at Teotle and screamed, "How can you betray us for the second time!" Teotle scowled at him and replied, "Shut up, idiot. I never served you. So, in fact, I betrayed no one. Besides, If he came back, It would mean the end for the seven of us. Be grateful I didn't leave you decapitated." Brimstone growled and looked at Fracture. "This is your fault. If you hadn't submitted your power to him, I could have brought our father back." "Yeah, and you'd be dead anyway." Fracture said with a mocking chuckle. "Why are you on their side now anyway?" Brimstone asked. "Because, Teotle saved my life after you hit me in the skull." Fracture answered. "It's time to give back what Shadowflame stole from our brothers and sisters, their freedom." Said Teotle. "You two killed them, so where are there bodies?" "There bodies are in the mausoleum." Said sister Desiree. Teotle concealed his sword and said, "Show me." The sisters showed him and the others the way to the place where his siblings were buried. There were six stone coffins lined up on the walls of the tomb. two were empty, while four had been sealed shut. One by one, Teotle pulled the bodies out of the coffins and gave them the breath of life, repairing their injuries as he went. He brought back Ulcer, Cut Throat's son. He brought back Emptyheart and Illheart, Desiree's twin daughters. And finally, he brought back Coma, Eveningstar's son. He brought them all back to life. It took some time, but he explained to them what the new game plan was for them. They were to get to know each other as siblings and make friends. Just as they should have from the beginning.
