Chapter 4: An Ancient Love Reunited

Brock had unlocked Starfire's true power as a gift from him and he had been able to control it. everyone was happy about this and went home later in the evening happy as could be. Brock was proud of his son's power and carrie him home on his back when they went home. Silver went to bed when they got home and Brock got Starfire into bed. "good night dad. good night Star." Brock said and kissed his son's forehead and walked out of the room. he walked into his room and laid down next to Silver and went to sleep. Luna had returned to Canterlot Castle and written a note for Celestia and stuck the note to the door of her room. when Celestia woke up she got dressed and walked toward the door when she noticed the note sitting there. she picked it up and read it. "Dearest sister, i located Discord and spoke to him about our discussion and told him what you said." Celestia Flinched at reading this but continued to read anyway. "i told him that you said you still loved him and he was surprises to hear this. i asked him if he would like to stop by Canterlot Castle later today and he said he would be honored to join us for a while." Celestia nearly cried after reading this as she dropped the note and ran straight to her sister's room. she threw open the door and jumped into her sister's bed and hugged her as she woke up. "thank you, thank you, thank you Luna!" Celestia said as she squeezed her sister. "i see you got my note then. and your welcome it really wasn't that hard to find him, all i did was use a locator spell on the teeth Brock knocked out of his mouth and found him in a cave a very long distance from here. i spoke to him and used a healing spell on him to fix his injuries after i saw how badly his condition was. his eyes were red and his mouth was bleeding along with his head and shoulder and his chest." Luna said to her sister. "well thank you again sister for doing all that for me. so when will he be arriving then?" Celestia asked happily. "in about..... now." Luna said as a flash came from outside the door and the door opened slowly. "hello Celestia, Luna." Discord said calmly with a blank expression on his face as he walked into the room escorted by four guards. "hello Discord, it's been a long time since we last spoke to each other without anger in our voices, hasn't it?" Celestia said mimicking his expression. "hello Luna, nice to see you again so soon." Discord said and smiled. "nice to see you to Discord." Luna replied. "you may leave sirs we have this under control." both princess's said together. "yes your highnesses." the guards replied and walked out of the room. "so Discord how have you been?" Celestia asked calmly. "oh fine, thank you for asking. although being encased in stone isn't the most fun i've had but no less fine." Discord said as Celestia looked down to the floor. "yes i am truly sorry about that, i let my anger get the better of me and allowed myself to use the elements of harmony on you. and i sincerely apologize to you." Celestia said sadly. "oh Celestia don't be sorry, if anything it was my fault for turning your parent's to stone." Discord replied sadly. "well all of that is in the past now, let's just focus on the recent past and present." Luna said. "yes sister, so Discord what do you think of me after all that's happened in the past few years. has your opinion changed or is it still the same as it used to be?" Celestia asked him truthfully. "i think i should leave you two alone." Luna said and walked out of the room. "well Celestia in spite of all that's happened i would have to say that i still love you." Discord replied bluntly. "even after all i've done to you?" Celestia asked. "yes, Celestia and even though you imprisoned me in stone for eons to pass i still love you. everything i've done was for you to be happy." Discord said and looked down as a tear escaped his eye and dropped onto his pants. "all i've ever wanted was for you to be happy Celestia. that's all i've ever truly wanted. not eternal chaos, not to rule equestria nothing. just for you to be happy." Discord said and looked down and closed his eye's. he nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt a pair of arms rap around him and the chair nearly fall backwards. he opened his eyes and saw Celestia hugging him. he hugged her back. "that's all i need to hear, Discord. that's all i need to hear." she continued to hug him tightly for maybe two minutes. she then stood up with discord and walked into the throne room and Celestia sent a message to Twilight to gather all of her friends and come to the castle immediately. Celestia sat in the main throne with Luna to her right and Discord to her left when everyone arrived. "Princess Celestia we came as soon as we-" Twilight stopped and gasped. everyone stopped gasped behind her. Brock then flew through the air and was about to knock Discord from his chair when Celestia grabbed him with her magic and placed him on the ground at the base of the throne. "Celestia what is wrong with you?!" Brock nearly screamed. "BE SILENT!" Celestia shouted. everyone looked at her, amazed at the way she responded. the princess never yelled at anyone, ever. "i invited you all here to inform you that Discord is going to be staying in Canterlot Castle until further notice." Celestia said and turned to face him and smiled. "but Celestia-" Brock was cut off by Celestia's voice. "brock calm down, it's fine i've taken care of it. Discord has changed i assure you. you of all people should believe in change of heart especially since your married to nightmare moon." Silver and Brock both flinched at hearing this. Brock sighed. "yes princess." Brock said. and turned to face everyone else. they just shrugged at him and he looked back at Celestia. "so Celestia is there any specific reason for this supposed "change of heart"?" Brock asked her suspiciously. "other than the fact that we still love each other, no not really. Celestia said happily. Brock was dumbstruck at her reply. "yes Brock it's true, these two still love each other, despite all that's happened. and i for one believe it." Luna said to Brock calmly. "well if you believe it, then so do i." Brock said and smiled. he stood up and walked towards Discord. "i'm sorry for what i did to you last time we met Discord. no hard feeling?" Brock asked and held out his hand. "oh, Brock everyone deserves some forgiveness." Discord said with a smile and shook his hand. "friends? friends. "the two said and hugged. when they finished Brock walked down by his other friends. "So Discord, what will you be doing while your staying here?" Silver asked him. Celestia whispered something into his ear and he smiled and then laughed loudly along with Celestia. "oh Celestia always the funny one." Discord said and wiped a tear from his eye. "what's so funny?" Brock asked as everyone else started laughing to. "what? what's so funny?!" Brock asked a little aggravated. Discord snapped and a mirror appeared in front of Brock he saw that there was a hat on his head that was about four feet tall. he sighed and took the hat off and looked at Celestia. "very funny Celestia, very funny." Brock said sarcastically. "oh now THAT was priceless Celestia, just PRICELESS!" Discord said and continued laughing on the floor by the throne. "well well, i guess we have a little prankster in the castle now don't we?" Brock asked happily. "WHAT? you mean you don't know?!" Celestia shouted. "don't know what?" Brock asked a bit confused. "Celestia and i have had a prank war going on for about six years now!" Luna said and started laughing. "aah, that would explain it then." Brock said and laughed. they all sat there and talked for maybe a half an hour before everyone went home and continued their day normally. Discord had gone to bed early that night to rest up some. Luna had gone into the library to continue studying. and Celestia had gone to attend some important business from another kingdom. Brock had gone home and continued his Research into the spell that he had begun studying before he got married. he still hadn't been able to perfect the spell enough to be used on his friends and their families. he was almost at the verge of a breakthrough when Twilight came calling for him and Silver. he had lost where he was and had to start over again from where he last left off. it had only taken him about an hour before he had been able to learn everything about the spell and exactly how to cast it. it had only taken him another half hour before he could perfect the spell. Brock had called Twilight, her boyfriend and all of both of their friends and their families out into the field he had resurrected Silver in. "so Brock why is it you called all of us here so late at night?" Twilight asked. "i would like to give you all a gift for being my first real friends in over seven hundred years." Brock replied. "and what would that be exactly?" Applejack asked. "alright everyone listen carefully, for the past eleven years i have been working on a spell with a very wide radius that, when used, will grant those closest to me, and those closest to them, immortality." Brock said with a very serious expression on his face. "you mean that your going to give all of us immortality?" Rainbow dash asked excitedly. "yes Dash that's exactly what i mean." Brock said and smiled at them all. "so do any of you decline my offer? once the spell is activated there is NO going back. but the best part is that the spell's effect's will rub off onto anyone you ever become close friends with or if you develop closer relationship's it will do the same." Brock said calmly now. "so wait lemme' get this straight. your givin' us all immortality and your sayin' that any friends we ever make will also become immortal?" applejack asked. "yes AJ but the effects will only work on your friends so if your friends are immortal and they make friends they will not become immortal." Brock said and everyone huddled up and started whispering to each other as Brock stood there and waited patiently. everyone broke the huddle and stood side by side and stared at Brock with a blank expression. "so, is there anyone who declines my offer?" Brock asked one final time. everyone looked at each other and looked back at him silently. "Nope." Big Macintosh finally Broke the silence. "is that your final decision's then?" Brock asked with a very serious expression on his face. everyone shook their head's up and down. "then everyone stand in a circle around me and hold hands." Brock said and painted a white circle around them all and then painted some arcane lines inside the circle and he placed five lightning rods in a star pointed position around the circle and then stood in the center of the circle. he looked up to the sky and started chanting in an ancient language. "Kein Maferock Dormar Korol Sulyek Ill Tokera Pein No Kalovnera Pal Dinok Arck Dein Sontaros Colock Morah Suum Graan Fos Pock Arnilos Delonaros Mahenos Coneck Amletoras!" Brock shouted the last few words into the sky as five bolts of lightning shot down and hit the lightning rods and shot out into the other rods into a pentagon shape and then shot upward then back down straight into Brock and everyone gasped. "DO NOT BREAK FORMATION!" Brock screamed. they all stayed in the exact same positions as the lightning shot out of his body into the wight lines around him and the people around him absorbed the electricity and it disappeared inside of them causing them absolutely no pain and everything stopped in an instant. Brock had fallen over and fainted after the whole ordeal, as lightning coursed through his body. he took in the electric power of the lightning and gave the body of the lightning to everyone else. he took the dangerous part of the lightning inside of himself and gave the rest to everyone else. they rushed him to the hospital in Ponyville as soon as he had fallen over. he had awaken two days later in a hospital bed. "where....... where am i?" Brock asked as he woke up. "oh thank Celestia your awake! EVERYONE HE'S AWAKE!" Silver screamed into the hallway and a bunch of people had come running into the room. "oh Brock we thought we'd lost ya! you've been out for two whole days!" applejack said as she hugged him. "where am i? who are you people?....... who am i?"
