“You did what?” Twilight asked, presumably for the second time.
“I let her escape.” Derpibra said blankly.
“Listen, if someone finds out you let her go, you’re toast.”
“You don’t say?” He said sarcastically. He got up and walked towards a nearby window of their royal train cart, courtesy of Twilight’s rank as princess. “But I couldn’t bring myself to kill her or even bring her in. She had her reasons, and we all know the EO are a bad bunch. They took her parents and drove her crazy.” He turned back around, and approached the listening ponies. “You know what she told me? She had no friends before us. She lived in constant fear, in dirt and garbage. She was paranoid, and never seemed quite normal. That probably explains why she always stinked of whiskey.”
“That’s what she said?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Geez, there really was a lot more to her than sailor talk and alcohol. I wouldn’t have ever guessed it.”
“She told me one last thing that was kinda disturbing. She said her real home was on the battlefield, with death and destruction and being able to decide whether or not someone lives, that the power she has is “Bucking delicious”. That’s some sadistic stuff.”
“Indeed.” Rarity replied. “To think she would have suffered so much in the past years. Poor darling. Where do you think she has gone?”
“I wouldn’t know, but if the magic that Magnus gave me remains true, maybe one day we’ll get lucky.”
The pegasus sat down only slightly further away from his group.
I had to send you off, like you did when you left behind your sister. Neither of had a choice in how we leave behind the ones we love. But, we’ll meet again Optix, wherever to may be…
One day.
