A Haze Onwards: A Seed Grown
Chapter 6: Chapter 1: 11 years later
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe song birds of the everfree sounded like they did every other morning. They were the wake-up call for a young Haze jr. and Silvie.
Haze jr. woke up with the sound of the familiar song birds, and and took a dee breath. Quickly he got up, and his whole body racked with waved of soreness and he layed back down with a wince, once more he tried again but more slowly. This is was not an uncommon thing, for yesterday (and pretty much every other day of the week) they trained in the verfree. They had been going like this since they were chased into the everfree 11 years ago by celestia’s guards. Seldom did they ever leave the everfree, and even more seldom did they not see a guard blocking their way out.
Although they did manage to get a proper bed, they still havn’t left the forest properly.
Haze jr. stretched out his sides and limbs until his pain had diminished to a level where we could work. He left the house, wich in the 11 years had been improved further on, and the whole were now nearly unoticable, and there wasn’t a draft anymore. He went to the stream at the edge of the clearing and drank his morning water. Silvie soon woke up and did the same.
“you know what today is, did?” Haze jr. said
“what is it?” replied silvie
“it’s the anniversary of when we left Ponyville” said Haze jr.
Silvie frowned, not liking to talk about that day.
“sorry for having to remind you, but I think we’ve trained enough that we can leave the forest and get to the bottom of it” said Haze jr. and he had a point, they had trained for eleven year, they were strong, ajile and stealthy, they could take on quite a few guards.
After a while of thinking, silvie spoke up “I think you may be right… it’s time to go home” said silvie.
The next few ohurs were used prepair. They got a backpack they found, and stuffed it with tools they made and could use as wepons, as well as some medical supplies they accumulated over the years from quick visits to the edge of the everfree. They were finally ready to go after about an hour.
They began by stepping into the everfree forest, and heading to Ponyville. Silvie and haze jr. felt nostalgia about when they first entered the evefree, they pointed oujt how much the path had changed, yet still somehow stayed the same. After a long treck they reached the edge of the forest, where pony was. The town was a wreck, the streets were dirty, the houses were recked, and there was no one in the streets, just like the last time visiting.
“hide, there’s a guard coming” said silvie, and they both went into a bush. A few seconds later two guards walked right by, and haze jr. took this oportinuty to attack. Haze jumped out and hit the guards in the back of the head and knocked them out. Silver grabed one fo their armour suits and out it on. “come on silvie, these can be out disquises. Silvie did the same.
After grabing their wepons, they walked into Ponyville, passing other guards. After a while of looking around, another guard approached them “aren’t you supposed to be guardiong the everfree?” he asked
Haze jr. paniced and turned to silvie, who looked rather confident “our shift is over, I believe it was your time to take over, so I should be asking YOU that question, why aren’t you guarding the everfree”
The other guard look slightly afraid “oh, no, you’re right, celestia would have my head if she knew I was slacking, who knows they might be escaping now! Thank you comrade, enjoy your break” said the guard, rushing back to the forest. “and that’s how it’s done” silvie grinned.
The two continued to walk, but haze had a question buring in his mind “silvie, did you notice the guard said something about celestia having his head”
“yeah I remember that”
“doesn’t that make you think? That’s not something the celestia we knew would do”
“the celestia we knew wouldn’t have came to take us away” said silvie with bitterness in her voice.
“that’s true, but I think the world’s changed in those eleven year… I mean, the town is in ruins, the library has lost all it’s leaves, and our mother could be dead for all-“
“shut up, haze” said silvie, clearly angered.
“s-sorry…” haze jr. was quiet the rest of thw way.
After a walk around the town, the finally sat down. “the town is heavily guarded for some reason… do you think it’s for us?” said haze jr.
“maybe celestia’s changed, I mean it’s no secret that celestia hated our father, so maybe he wants to end our lives, and get rid of the haze family” said silvie.
Suddenly, a piece of paper flew into haze jr. face “off” silvie grabbed the paper off his face and read it “lord celestia decrees that anyone who find the children of silver haze will be rewarded with infinite wealth. They may be brought dead or alive”
The two were silent for a while, and the silence was broken when the guard from before shout “There they are, those are the imposters!” suddenly, they were swarmed y guards.
