Chapter 10: Rarity Fun Facts - Ep 3 Vinyl Edition
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSup everyone, I know Rarity normally does these little lessons with you guys, but this is one of those times where Rare-bear is in the dark. I've never told this shit to anyone, not even The Knights. Heh, I'm sure Bossman knows though, that bastard knows everything.
Anyway, its only fair you all know whats going on. And yea, I get that, to you guys, I'm not real. I'm just some story to all of you. But in that story, I am real. I bleed, life goes on, even when you aren't readin'. So now that we've got that out of the way, let's move on to the important shit.
JADE FILIGREE
My mother was one of the most badass Hunters on the planet. You think me and the Knights have seen some shit? We're nothin compared to her. Sure, I'm a biased party, but holy shit was mom amazing. I uh, couldn't have figured this stuff out without The Knights, or Tavi, heh. She spent a few years under the Princess, learning how to read all the junk my mom wrote.
That book of hers says everything. All of her hunts, how she quit being a Hunter, it even leads up to how she died.
But it stops there. And I'm sure all of you wanna know, with all her protection, how'd she become a vamp?
Well, that kind of magic works really well, when you're alive. But there's another piece of the puzzle. Her wards and charms and everything kept Vampires away. So how were her an pops a thing? Pops was a Pure-Blooded Vampire. One of the Sun-Cursed Kings for fucks sake.
So how'd he even get near her? How'd they have THREE kids?
Magic.
And no, I'm not bullshitting here, it was literally magic. Mom was in deep, she was on the edge, gonna die, all nine yards end of days type shit.
And Pops risks EVERYTHING for her. Just because of some love at first sight kind of shit. She was pretty skeptical, til she saw his injuries from saving her. Her skin was like pure silver, just touching her was like being dropped into a fucking bucket of the stuff.
But Pops STILL carried her all the way to his home. He helped her get back on her feet, kept her hidden, did anything and everything to prove he meant no harm to her. And then one night, Magic.
Mom feels bad for him, he was tossing away everything he had for her, even his own health. Just being near her was killing him, but he didn't care.
"If I can die in your presence, then I've lived a good life"
And that's all she wrote, not literally, I mean, holy hell did she go into detail. I still gag thinkin about it. I mean, come on, do you find your parents fucking like rabbits to be exciting? No? Didn't think so.
But anyway, Magic is this crazy living breathing thing, and when mom fell for pops, her wards shifted, all of her protection peeled away, just so they could be together.
Annnd then Mom was pregnant with me. Fun Fact, I almost died! For real!
So, her wards no longer affected pops, but she didn't even know I was a thing at the time, so all of that Vampire be-gone shit in her system was tearing me apart. Luckily for me, Mom decided to check after puking her brains out.
At the time, she had no idea what to do. So she asked Pops. He was pretty damn excited to be a dad, but with me dying...well, they took some drastic measures. My mom rewrote her spells. From the ground up. So, whenever she was pregnant, her wards and everything vanished. So for nine months she was helpless and Pops had to make sure no one got a hold of her.
Hey, they pulled it off three times. The fourth was the charm though.
I guess it was early on, but, mom was having another kid. She probably didn't know yet and niether did pops, but her Diary knew. It had this whole weird enchantment on it, writing out details of her life even without her adding to it.
That cost her in the long run. Big Boss found it. He was visiting my Pops, offering him a business plan. Bastard went digging for anything to turn my Pops to his side and found moms book. Of course, Pops found him out and sent him packing, but by then it was too late.
They ambushed her, without her wards, without her weapons, there wasn't much she could do. Bein a human with a vampire growing in you? Not the easiest thing to handle. She barely stood a chance against em. And when all was said and done, that bastard took her and made her into a fucking Ghoul.
As for the kid...well, that's a different story.
