I Just Walk Away
Chapter 65
Previous Chapter Next ChapterLyra looks around as she taps her I-glasses that are recording everything that she's seeing. She had discovered a portal that lead to wherever this place is, at the base of the horse statue in front of the school. Now she's recording everything that she's seeing, which is some kind of fancy building from the looks of things.
"Bon Bon you hear me?" Lyra ask.
"Yes, I can," Bon Bon said back on the other side of the portal.
"Good. Don't make any calls or anything to me. I don't want to end up like that guy in that alien movie where someone called him and got the monster's attention," Lyra said as she began exploring the chamber.
The first thing that Lyra noticed was how big everything is compared to her. There was a massive wooden chair in the chamber with her, it reminded her of how as a young child everything was just so much bigger. The chamber looks to be a storage room with several things covered in dust, but the mirror looked like it was new to the room from the lack of dust on it.
She found a massive door that while is in the shape of a door, like the chair and other items in the room, is much bigger than she's use to. Standing in front of the door brought back memories when she was younger and smaller where she had to reach up to reach the door handle. Opening the door Lyra found herself on an upper balcony overlooking a long hallway. She saw at one end of the balcony is a door and walk down to it.
Opening the door Lyra found herself in a throne room. Before she could get a good look of the room a scream caught her attention. Looking down to where the scream came from she saw Sunset who she hadn’t seen since she disappeared over a year ago. Even from where she’s at Lyra could tell that Sunset body size now matches the size of everything in the building, showing that it’s not that everything is bigger in this place, but Lyra is just small for what is normal here. Sunset is wearing what looks like a blue toga or tunic that is backless. Allowing her wings growing out of her back free movement. She also has a red gemstone embedded on the middle of her forehead.
And she’s torturing a man who is being suspended in the air by chains wrapping around each of his limb, coming out what looks like portals floating in the air. Sunset is using a whip that left deep cuts on the man’s back, only to stop as she throws handfuls of salt onto his wounds causing him to scream in pain. There are several others in the room, soldiers dress in dark color armor and have bat wings coming from their backs. There is also a statue that looks like Celestia coming out of the wall above the throne. That has the wings and gemstone on her forehead like Sunset.
“Sunset what is this?” someone who looks like Luna but has black skin instead of dark blue ask as she enters the throne room.
“Another teacher who thought that by teaching me his way I would learn. Another fly or die type, I would think after the public execution of the last teacher. They would learn, that I hate that, especially when he didn’t even bother to listen to me in what I wanted to learn and what he taught I knew already,” Sunset said.
“Oh so that’s what happen,” Luna said looking over the former teacher. “Guards toss him out onto the street and send some soldiers to his home. I want everything taken seeing how he already received payment for his mentoring of my daughter and likely have already been spent.” (1)
“As you will our queen,” two soldiers said as they walk to the former teacher who is released from the chains holding him up in the air. They pick him up by his arms and drag him away.
“I really should just teach you myself,” Luna said.
“Mom you have a kingdom to run,” Sunset said.
“You’re scaring away all the possible teachers,” Luna said.
“The ponies anyways. If I’m going to be learning new magic, I’m going to have to look elsewhere to learn. Time to seek teachers from the other races and learn their brand of magic,” Sunset said.
“But remember unlike what you been doing with the pony teachers, doing the same to a Yak shaman will cause issues,” Luna said.
“Yes mom,” Sunset said taking her leave followed by the guards that were in the room with her.
Once alone Luna looks up at the statue of Celestia. While Lyra still hiding watching and getting it all on her I-glasses.
“Sunset is proving to have the drive to take my place once she’s ready to lead. I don’t understand why you replaced her with that Twilight girl. She’s a nervous wreck who is so eager to please you. While Sunset went and took her down along with those ponies that went with her to gather the elements. You left so much to chance, banishing the student who had the skills, smarts and just plain being competent. Unlike you I made her into not only an alicorn but my daughter as well, and now I have a daughter who is not only shaping to be more powerful than me or you once she reaches her peak. But she’s also helping me advance and improve the kingdom that hasn’t changed much since we ruled together,” Luna said to the statue.
Lyra eyes widen as she figures out that the statue isn’t a statue.
“But seeing how you’re now a decor for the castle. You can only watch and listen as the pony who could had been your daughter, blooms as my daughter instead,” Luna mocks that frozen form of her sister.

“Another world where Luna made my counterpart her daughter instead of Celestia,” Sunset said.
“Come on get ready we’re almost there,” Trixie said.
“So who is going to be fighting Izuku?” Sunset ask turning off the screen.
“I am of course,” Trixie said.
“Which robot are you going to be using?” Sunset ask.
“The omnidroid,” Trixie said.
