Three Steps to Rebuilding a Relationship: Step Two (Re-Edited)

Solar sat in the royal Canterlot library. He had a few books open on the desk. He had completed most of his plan. He had done all the jobs he needed to do to get the money to help the Sparkle family. But he still hadn't been able to complete his spell, but he was close. Solar knew today was the first day he would see the Sparkles after the incident. He just hoped that he could get past the fact of what he did, to get their forgiveness.

Soon Stonewall entered the library. He looked around for the young prince. He once again found him with his head in a book. He sighed as he thought what Solar was doing was crazy. He was happy that he had calmed down with the jobs. But he knew Solar was still pushing his body in training. He stepped forward and placed the note down that he had been asked to write. It was tell everything that Solar had been doing. Solar had told Stonewall to write it because he knew it was easier for Night Light to trust the words of Stonewall than him.

"Here you are Solar." Said Stonewall

"Thank you, captain." Said Solar

"So how much longer will you keep this up." Said Stonewall

"Keep what up." Said Solar

"You know what I mean." Said Stonewall

"I know, but I can't. A prince is a pony who all other ponies look up too. If I don't have everypony behind me, then I can't lead them. Plus how can I be a prince if I act on my emotions? A leader can't act on every feeling they have. If they see me like that, then I can't help them. I must see past my feelings and lead with my mind. So I'm training not to act on every emotion and let a few pass over me. But that comes in time. But right now, I have to get the forgiveness of the Sparkle family." Said Solar

Stonewall sighed as he knew the boy was stubborn as an ox. He thinks he can't be the prince as long as the Sparkles aren't behind him. Well, he does have a point. But I wish he would calm down. Stonewall was brought out his thoughts when he heard books being closed shut. He watched as Solar took the paper and began to fold it. He slipped it into the bit bag with the letter. Solar then strapped the bag to his waist. He got up and gave a salute to Stonewall.

"Captain, tell my mommy, I will be out for a while." Said Solar

"Where exactly are going?" Asked Stonewall with a raised eyebrow

"I'm going to the Sparkle household." Said Solar

"No, you can't Solar. That is outside this castle, and you aren't known yet." Said Stonewall

"I'm not going to walk there." Said Solar

"Then how?" Asked Stonewall

"I'm going to teleport. I studied a map of Canterlot and found that the Sparkle household is on outskirts of the city. I can teleport there and not be in any danger." Said Solar

"You sure about this?" Asked Stonewall

"Yes, I have to do this alone. I do thank you and mommy for trying to help. But to be a prince, I have to do this on my own." Said Solar

Solar concentrated his magic around his body and then with an orange flash he disappeared. Stonewall blinked a few times to get his eyes settled into the light. He saw Solar was gone. He sighed as he hoped everything would go fine. I just hope the young prince is going to be ok. It is the first time he has been outside the castle. Though I do thank Night Light for wanting to live in a remote area of Canterlot. But I should tell the princess about Solar. I sure don't want her going into a panic attack. He left the library, but stopped next to a window and looked outside. Stay safe young prince. He continued his walk towards Princess's Celestia's study.

***

Solar slowly popped out of his teleportation. But the second he touched the ground, he went down to his hands and knees. He began to spit up. He quickly took in some nice big breaths to focus his body back to normal. He hadn't teleported long distances before, and it was feeling like the first time he teleported. Though that time, he threw up. But he was much better with it, but long range teleportation, well it wasn't as good. Note to self, try more long range teleportation. He slowly got up and looked at the house.

He found the mailbox and read the name on the side. It read, 'Sparkles.' He gave himself a mental high five. He had done it.Yes I did it. Mommy would be so proud of me, but I'm sure I'm going to get grounded for this. But I have to do this alone. He began to walk up to the front door of the house. He stopped at the front door and gave it a firm knock. He stood waiting patiently for somepony to open the door.

After a minute he heard the door knob turn and Solar saw it was Night Light. Solar could see all the damage he had taken from the fight, were all healed up. Night Light soon turned his attention down, and his eyes widened. He couldn't believe who was standing at his front door. He felt his anger rise.

"You got a lot of nerve coming here after the stunt you pulled. Do you know what you did to my daughter?" Said Light

"Yes I do, I was told by my mother." Said Solar

"So what are you doing here. I know for a fact you aren't supposed to be out of the castle yet. You're taking a big risk being here." Said Light

"Yes I know sir, but I had to come. I needed to give you something." Said Solar

"That would be?" Asked Light

"This." Solar pulled the large bag of bits off his waist. He presented it to Night Light. "I want you to have this sir. I can assure you that this is my work and not my mommy's."

Night Light raised an eyebrow to him. He sighed as he took the bag. He shook it in his hand. He could feel it was full of bits. He looked down at the kid. Even though he had a bag of bits, his anger wasn't lowering.

"You know this won't make this family forgive you for what you have done." Said Light

"I know sir, but that is to help you with the bills. I know money can never buy an apology. So I wish to say I'm sorry for everything that I've done. I don't care what my mommy or Captain Stonewall says. I am at fault for everything. So I wish you to forgive me. I know it might take you time to fully forgive me, but I won't ask for your forgiveness. I only hope that you will forgive me, in time. Now I should get going. Again I am truly sorry for what I have caused to you and your family. I never had the right to attack your daughter. I've taken enough of your time, sir. I hope to see you and your family again." Said Solar

Night Light watched as Solar walked away from the front door. Solar stopped when he was far enough away from their property. Night Light watched as he teleported away. When he was sure that the young prince was away, he closed the door. He walked into the kitchen. He set down the bag and went over to a set of bills. He pulled out all the medical bills from his daughter's visit. He set then down on the table.

I might as well see what he gave me. But something was off with him. He was acting like a true guard and gentle colt. I have no idea if it was a game, but he did seem sincere about what he said. Though could this family ever forgive him. Sure Cadance looks like she has, but Solar is family. I guess that is a family decision. He pulled open the bit bag and began to pour out the bits. As the bits continued to come out, two sheets of paper appeared. He shrugged them off and placed them at the end of the table.

He began to sort the bits to each bill. But soon he started to realize that he had more than he would ever need. He knew the princess could get her daughter's medical records, but this was more than what they needed to cover Twilight's bills. After he had each bill paid, he kept stacking bits. He started to disbelieve that Solar had made this much in bits. When it was over, he had over ten thousand bits extra. He ran his hand through his mane and got up from the table. He quickly put some tobacco into his pipe. He grabbed a match and light up the tobacco. He waved the match flame away and blew out some of his smoke. He then began to look at the bits. He moved his eyes over to the papers that were in the bag.

He walked over and opened the first one. He saw that it was a spell. It wasn't named, but he quickly saw it was a combo spell. He looked to see healing magic, but advance to boot. Another part was Theoretical Magic, advance as well. He then found a small note at the bottom. 'Use to heal Twilight.' That has to be the young prince's handwriting. But he made this spell just to help Twilight. My wife may have been a Theoretical Magic professor, but this goes past her. There is no doubt that this is more advanced than anypony could understand. Well, at least my wife or Cadance might be able to comprehend and use it. But is it worth testing on Twilight. It looks to rare to be a spell that he tested. But if I understand it, it will heal her of all wounds. It would be like nothing had ever happened to her.

He put down that paper and then picked up the other. He opened it up and found that it was Stonewall's writing. He began to read the letter that was in his hands.

Dear Night Light,

I know this is strange to have a letter written to you when I could have easily talked to you in person. But the young prince asked me to write you this letter. I guess I have a good idea why he wanted me to write this. He is finally going to ask for your forgiveness for what he did. I' m not too sure how to even explain what has been going on after Solar attacked Twilight. But I will tell you this. He has changed. After the assault, he dropped being a prince and began to be a guard. He believes that he has failed to be a prince. He even came to me asking me to forgive him. Of course, I did. But he then came, even more, determined. He began to do jobs around the castle. Some days, he would go from job to job. The staff would always say that were happy to do it, but Solar declined and worked. He would do everything in the castle. If you remember your days at the castle, then you know what I mean. He would even take the place of guards to help them out. He would even take night shifts. The boy would only get maybe up to five hours of sleep before he was off. But most days only about two. But when he isn't working jobs, his head is in books. He has been trying to discover a way to heal Twilight's wounds. You should have seen his room. It was a mess of papers. I know he is smart, well beyond smart, but he is doing the impossible. Last, is that he is always training. Non-stop training. I'm not sure why, but when I asked him why, all he gave me was a simple answer. 'He wanted to train.' I don't know what this letter is going to tell you, but I might as well say something to help you see him better. Everything he has been making has been going in one sack. I bet you have it all. I'm not sure if you can forgive him but know this. He feels like he can't be the prince unless he has everypony behind him. You got to give the kid credit, though he is determined. Reminds me of you when you were in boot camp. I just hope you find it in your heart to forgive him. He is a good kid and one that will surprise you some days. But it is your choice to use the spell or even to forgive him. I just hope you and your family see him as your prince again. Also, he wanted me to put this at the end of the letter. He has asked everypony the same question. Do you see him as a monster? Well, see you around Night Light. Captain Stonewall, signing off.

Night Light looked over the letter in his hand. He read it over again. He then looked at the paper and the bits. He then turned his eyes down to the letter down in his hands. He slowly took a seat at the table. His mind was heavy with thought. He kept looking at the letter in his hand. He chewed the end of his pipe. He set down the paper and got back up. He then looked out his window at the jungle gym his kids used to play on when they were younger. He took the pipe from his mouth and breathed out the smoke from his lips. This is one interesting thing I have gotten myself into this time. Do I forgive the boy, who attacked my daughter, or do I hold a grudge for life? The answer can never be that easy to find. I guess that's why the truth is never easy to find.

After a while, his family began to come home. Night Light still sat at the table smoking his pipe. His wife Twilight Velvet came in with their son, Shining Armor. He had a white coat with a sapphire blue mane with cerulean and phthalo blue streaks in his mane. He was also another unicorn and Twilight's sister. He had cerulean colored eyes. His cutie mark was a shield with three stars above it. He was wearing a plain t-shirt and a pair of jeans on.

"Hi, honey." Said Velvet.

Night Light didn't respond. His mind was teeming with thoughts about what Stonewall had written. But his son was able to snap him out of his mind trance.

"Man dad, where did you get all these bits." Said Shining

"Yes honey, I'm sure the princess didn't pay you this much for that case. And why do you have our daughter's medical bills too." She said

"There not from the princess, but the prince. He came today while you were all out and deliver it himself." Said Light

"Wait, the colt that attacked my sister. He gave you this!" Said Shining

Night Light knew his son was a little over protective of his sister. He was aware that he was that way because of his cutie mark. He was in the ROTC program at his school as he was working his way to becoming a guard and captain. But he knew his son sometimes reacted to much. He, at times, had to settle down his son.

"Now must I remind you who Twilight's father is." Said Light

"But father." Said Shining

"Please Shining, just because he gave us some money, doesn't mean I want to forgive him. But I know he gave us this money to use in any way we wish. Plus we have plenty left over," said Light pointing to the extra bits.

"What should we do with them?" Asked Velvet

"Well, the young prince worked for all this money. I believe it should go back to him, but I think he won't accept it. But honey I do have something for you. Do you think you could understand this," said Light handing his wife the paper.

She looked it over, and her eyes widen. She couldn't believe what she was reading. This can't be possible, whoever wrote this was able to fully connect advanced medical magic to highly advanced Theoretical Magic. She looked back at her husband as she looked back done at the spell. She still couldn't believe her eyes.

"What is it, mom?" Asked Shining

"A spell that can heal Twilight of all of her problems. But who wrote it." Said Velvet

"The young prince." Said Night Light

"What?!" Said Velvet

"Well, it seems that magic from Celestia has made him smarter than the average pony though I'm not too sure how smart. All of his past is in Doctor Heart Pulse's file on him, and the princess protects its." Said Light

Then the front door opened, and a sweet female voice came through the halls of the house.

"We're home."

They all knew it was Twilight and Cadance. Cadance had taken her to get some of her medication. They both entered the kitchen. Both Cadance and Twilight were amazed at all the bits that stacked on the table. Cadance more than Twilight, she couldn't believe that Solar had made that all on his own.

"Wow, dad, where did you get all this money." Said Twilight

"The young prince gave it to us." Said Light

Twilight bowed her head and rubbed her brace. She sighed as she wondered if she had pushed him a little far. She knew that he had just lost a friend. She felt a lone tear run down her eye. Light raised his eyebrow to his daughter. Even Shining was strange to his sister's actions.

"What's wrong honey?" Asked Velvet

"Does he hate me?" Asked Twilight

"Who?" Asked Cadance

"Solar, I know he hates me. I was the reason that he attacked me." Said Twilight

"Don't be crazy Twilight. He just wanted to prove his strength." Said Shining

"No!" Said Twilight

Shining took a step back at his sister's rage. He couldn't believe his sister would snap at him. She clenched her fists tight as tears ran down her face.

"No, I was the reason I am this way. I pushed him too far. I just couldn't believe that he was driving me away from the best thing that had ever happened to me. I had a chance to be the princess's personal student, and he was going to take it away. But I had to let my mouth end it. I know that I had listened to you mom and stopped, none of this would have happened. Solar wouldn't hate me. He wouldn't hate this family. He would have been our friend. He could have been my friend. But instead, I have to live with the guilt. I just wish I could do something." Said Twilight

"Twilight dear, Solar doesn't hate you or us. He believes he was the reason this all happened. He did all this for you and your family. He wants to regain their trust again. He doesn't hate anypony." Said Cadance

"But still, wouldn't have happened if I hadn't talked back. Maybe if we left, Solar could have calmed down. But instead, Solar is trying to gain back our forgiveness." Said Twilight

"Please, he's just trying to pull a cloak over our eyes." Said Shining

"No, Shining! Solar is doing all of this to show that he can lead this country. But you are so blind with rage that you can't see it. He is my family, and I saw who he was. But you still think he should be locked up. I would saw yes to a monster, but he isn't. He is a colt acting like he is a stallion. He had been spending the week trying to gather that money. He never slept much the whole time. He would also train to make sure he could fight back. But most of the time he was in books. Trying to make a spell to heal Twilight. If that isn't a monster, then I'm not sure what is." Said Cadance

"Cadance has a point. Solar came today and stood firm in front of me. I could see the bags under his eyes. The strain on his body. For just being seven, he has shown more of being a stallion than most stallions. He even personally gave me the bag and never asked for our forgiveness. He said that he hopes we forgive him, in time. The kid impressed me with that. But it was Stonewall's letter that made me think. Everything I have seen can never be unseen. But that boy is helping. There's something in him that just brings out the good in ponies. I'm not sure what, but he is a worthy heir to the Equestrian throne," said Light leaning back in his chair.

"Seeing this spell, it has made me wonder about the real him. Twilight, do you want me to perform this spell on you. It should heal you right up." Said Velvet

"Wait, mom," said Shining, but was stopped by his father.

"Enough Shining, you had your say. I don't know why, but you just want revenge. But revenge will never get you far in the academy. If you want to be the captain, you have to trust those you can't. Solar is one of those cases. I have seen the boy's file, and it shows something else. So I'm not afraid that he would turn against everything he has. Stonewall seemed to pound that into his head." Said Light

Shining only murmured under his breath. He then watched as his mother slowly started to charge her horn. Twilight then was engulfed in the spell. Then with a flash of light, it was over. The family blinked their eyes and saw that Twilight was all right. Twilight looked to see the scorch mark was gone. The pain from her broken ribs was gone.

"Mom, I'm healed."Said Twilight

"Then Solar did do something amazing." Said Velvet

Cadance watched as Twilight and Velvet hugged. Light felt a lone tear run down his face. Shining still couldn't believe his eyes. Cadance just clapped. Twilight then broke from her embrace and went over to her father.

"Dad, you have to forgive Solar. If he did all of this, then he can't be the monster that attacked me." Said Twilight

He blew out his smoke and looked at his daughter. He looked at the paper and bits. He smiled that a young prince would do all this for them. He knew it was wrong to keep blaming him for what happened. It seems the problems were on both sides. But while we stayed in anger, Solar moved forward. He worked day and night to help us. He can't be something that wishes to harm us if he spends a week working to help us. Maybe we judged him too fast. I guess that is pretty accurate for us ponies. But I think it's time we set the record straight. I believe it is time to turn over a new leaf.

"Twilight you're right. Honey, me and Shining are going to head down to the castle. I think it's time we give him our forgiveness and move on. Time for the Sparkle family to turn over a new leaf." Said Light

"Oh thank you, dad." Said Twilight

Light hugged his newly healed daughter and pushed Shining towards the door. He waved back at his family and Cadance. He closed the door, and the two began to walk towards the castle. But Shining didn't understand why he had to come, but Night Light had his reasons. I think a fight between my son and Solar is in order. I would like to see what Stonewall has taught him. Plus maybe it will help my son. All I do know is, Shining has a lot to learn before taking the mantle as a guard.

***

Stonewall walked with Night Light and Shining Armor. He was leading them to the training hall where Solar was. Stonewall walked right beside Night Light, while Shining walked in the back. The two were having a pleasant chat.

"So I guess you want to forgive the prince." Said Stonewall.

"Yes, our family has seen what he truly can do. I also think that both sides are at fault here." Said Light

"How so?" Asked Stonewall

"It seems that my daughter believes that she was the reason Solar attacked her. She thought that the young prince hates her and our family for that. But on this side, Solar blames himself and doesn't see himself as the prince. It seems that each side had its opinion on the matter." Said Light

"So, what's with you son," said Stonewall looking back at Shining

"As you know Stonewall, he's seeking to become a guard. He isn't as thrilled that we forgive the Prince for what he did. So I decided to see what the young prince can do. Plus it might help him blow some steam. But I will do it only if Solar is up for it." Said Night Light

"Well as far as it goes around here, it could be a good match. Solar has been beating every guard I've been throwing at him. Even a ten-year veteran couldn't beat him. I still think he does have an unfair advantage with his heightened senses. But I believe that it comes with time. I have pitted Solar against these guards before, and I think he's learning them as he fights. But I'm not too sure." Said Stonewall

"Either way, it should be an exciting fight." Said Night Light

The group soon reached the training hall and saw Solar practicing on a test dummy. He swung his wooden sword in an exact manner. He was striking perfect points to kill his enemy. The group went down to Solar. Stonewall cleared his throat. Solar then turned around and saluted the captain.

"Sir." He said

"At ease, you have few guests." Said Light

Soon Night Light and Shining Armor approached. Solar knew Light but didn't know the stallion next to him. He shrugged and went up to shake Light's hand. Light exchanged the handshake with him.

"How can I help you, sir?" Asked Solar

"Well, we're here to tell you that your spell was a success. We thank you for that. Also, you seemed to give us a little more bits than we needed." Said Light

"I may have sir, but they are yours. I worked so that I could help your family. I know no amount of money can change what happened, but all of it is yours. I want you to use it in any way you wish." Said Solar

"Well thank you, now I would like to introduce you to my son, Shining Armor. He's Twilight's older brother and my son." Said Light

"Nice to meet you." Solar bowed to Shining. "I am sorry for what I have put your sister through."

"Yeah, you should be," said Shining crossing his arms.

"Shining please." Said Light

"It's alright sir. He is every right to hate me. I was the pony that hurt his sister." Said Solar

"Now about that, our family has decided together to forgive you." Said Light

Solar's eyes widen, and he quickly bowed to Night Light. He then rose back up.

"I thank you, sir." Said Solar

"Now I am also here because I would like to ask you something." Said Light

"That would be?" Asked Solar

"I would like you to fight my son in combat. I want to see how well my teaching goes against the teaching of Stonewall. How about it Solar?" Said Light

"I would be honored, sir." Said Solar

"How about it son?" Asked Light

"I think that's a great idea dad." Said Shining

"Then it is settled, Solar Flare will fight Shining Armor in a combat battle." Said Stonewall

***

Shining stood on one side of the arena, while Solar stood on the other side. Stonewall stood in the middle. Solar had his sword and shield in his hand. They were metal now since Stonewall thought it was time to move forward with his combat training. Shining also held a sword and shield. Stonewall then entered the middle of the area.

"This fight will be between Solar Ignition Flare and Shining Armor. The winner will be determined by the first one who pins the other. Magic is allowed in this fight, but illegal combat magic will not be allowed. Now boys give me a fair and clean fight. May the match begin," said Stonewall bring his hand down. He then went off to join Night Light.

"You ready to lose." Said Shining

"Bring it." Said Solar

The two ran forward, and the sound of metal on metal echoed throughout. The two kept pushing against each other. Soon they broke off. Shining growled as he rushed Solar again. Solar watched as Shining came against him. He quickly processed what Shining was doing. But Solar wasn't ready for Shining.

Solar moved to attack, but Shining quickly used a spell. He charged up his horn and then came a blast of magic around him. Solar wasn't ready for it. He has pushed away. He landed hard on the ground.

"Ha, I guess you don't understand my magic's ability. I can perform defensive spells. So don't think of come close to me." Said Shining

"Well, I never faced somepony who can deflect me off. I think you will finally be a challenge for me." Said Solar

Solar quickly got up and charged Shining. Shining summoned his shield and Solar grinned. I knew he would protect himself. But I should watch myself. I have no idea how powerful his defense magic can go. Solar then began to charge his magic. He summoned his sphere into his hand.

"Fire Ball Strike." Said Solar

The attack easily struck Shining shield and exploded on impact. Shining was sent tumbling across the ground. He slowly got up and looked at Solar smiling at him.

"Well, it seems your defenses are no match for my attacks. So you are going to bring it on now." Said Solar

Shining got back up and brushed his body off. This prince is powerful. My defensive magic isn't easy to break. But with one attack, he was able to bust down my shield. I'll have to watch his attacks. But if I can make him lose his weapons, then I can pin him. He seems to know more about attack magic. Shining threw off his shield and levitated over another sword. But I will have to keep him from getting weapons. So I'll have to attack straight at him. Though I can use my magic to zap him. Shining then rushed Solar again, and Solar stood ready.

Soon the sounds of swords clanking together filled the room. Solar and Shining were pushing each other back and forth. Solar was trying to gain the upper hand, while Shining wanted to make him defenseless. Soon Shining was able to get his wish.

Solar went for another attack at his back. Shining charged another wave, but Solar jumped out of the way. Shining smiled and turned to Solar. He released the spell, and it hit Solar straight into the chest. He landed hard on his back. Shining then zapped his hand. Solar quickly got up, but when he went for his weapons, he got a shock.

"What the?!" Said Solar

"I placed a shock spell on your hands. Anytime you go for a weapon. You'll be shocked. So now I think it is time to finish this." Said Shining

Shining rushed Solar and Solar began to dodge his attacks. He wasn't sure how to even to attack. Solar just kept dodging and trying to summon his magic. But Shining stayed close to him. Solar wasn't able to get his magic attacks off. Solar growled under his breath.

This isn't good, I can't do anything. Shining's got me unable to use weapons, and Shining's staying close to me for me to use my magic. Darn, this isn't good. Well, I think it is about time I try something. Though I have no idea what it will do, though it's better than being defenseless. Solar quickly brought his fire back to his hands.

"Sorry, but you won't be able to do that." Said Shining

Solar quickly jumped out of the way and then placed his hands on the ground.

"Ground Blast." Said Solar

The ground started to explode around Shining, filling the area with orange smoke. Shining coughed as he tried to find his way in the dust. He then charged his horn and blasted it out. The smoke was gone, and Solar was standing on the other side of the arena. Shining growled that he had lost Solar, but he was surprised he hadn't charged an attack yet. Shining stood ready as he saw Solar's aura around his hands.

"So what are you waiting for?" Asked Shining

"I can't attack you from long range. You'll easily find a way to get close to me again. No, I need to use weapons against you. I know that you have cursed my hands, but I think I have a way around that." Said Solar

He quickly charged his aura, but it started to cover his hands. He took one of his arms and brushed it across his hand. He began to charge up the magic around his arms. It started to condense into a solid mass around his arm. Solar began to move it out the solid material. It then began to harden and become orange. He did it with his other hand. Now Solar had a large blade hooked to each of his hands.

"Strike Blades". Said Solar

"How the?!" Asked Shining

"Now I think it's time we finish this fight." Said Solar

Solar rushed forward with the blades attached to his arms. He used his magic and launched himself into the air. He placed his blades together as he came down. Shining put his swords together, and they blocked Solar's attack. Shining was pushed back by Solar's attack. Solar then ran forward with his desire to defeat him. Shining stood ready and the two bashed together. Shining couldn't believe how powerful his blades were.

Darn, I thought I had the chance to beat him, but somehow he created those things. I need to be careful now. Shining soon charged his horn and blasted it at Solar. Solar quickly blocked the attack, and his blades began to glow. He pointed one at Shining. As he pointed it out, it started to open up. Electricity began to charge in the middle of the blade. Solar closed one eye and pointed it directly at Shining.

"Reject Blast." Said Solar

Soon the area began to glow brightly. Solar released the magic built up inside the blade. A beam of energy that was released from the blade. Shining quickly formed a shield, but it was useless. The magic blasted right through the shield and Shining rose his swords in defense. Shining was pushed back by the attack. Then when it was over, Shining's swords fell to the ground. He couldn't believe what had just happened. Solar grinned and broke the blades. They feel to the ground, and he charged another sphere in his hands.

"Fire Ball Strike." Solar ran forward with the sphere in his hands.

Shining began to shoot off attack spell at him. Solar was able to dodge them. He placed one hand on the ground.

"Ground Burst." Said Solar

Orange smoke began to fill the area. Shining quickly cleared the area, but Solar wasn't in front of him. He looked from side to side. But Solar was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are you?" Asked Shining

"Coming down." Said Solar

Shining looked up to see Solar coming down. He moved, but Solar impacted on the ground only a few inches from him. The aftershock sent Shining tumbling across the ground. He moaned as he tried to get up. But saw Solar holding a sword down at him.

"Match, you lost. If you're wondering how I used your magic to counter your first spell. Sorry, but Solar Flare takes this one." Said Solar

Shining sighed as it was over. Solar gave him a hand, and Shining saw it. He took it, and Solar helped him up. Shining sighed and shook his hand.

"I will give you credit. You were amazing. I was sure that I would be able to defeat you. I guess I should say I'm sorry." Said Shining

"For what?" Asked Solar

"I wanted this fight to hurt you like you hurt my sister. But through the fight, you never hurt me like you did her. I guess I can see that you never meant to hurt my sister." Said Shining

"Well, now that was a battle." Said Stonewall

"Yes, it was sir." Said Solar

"Now I think it seems that my whole family has forgiven you. But I believe that it should be official. How about you come to over to our place. I think you and Twilight should reconcile." Said Night Light

Solar eyes went wide, and he quickly bowed to him. Night Light smiled at the young prince Solar quickly rose and smiled at Night Light. The two said their goodbyes, leaving Solar and Stonewall. Solar looked up to Stonewall. He smiled down at Solar. He then began to ruffle his hair. After that, Solar left to see his mother.

He walked the halls of the castle. He looked outside and saw the beauty of the outside. He finally reached his mother's study and opened the door. He saw his mom and ran forward to her. He quickly brought her into a hug. She was surprised by it but accepted her son's hug. They held each other tight as the moonlight shined into the room. They moved over to her couch and sat laid down. Solar left his eyes start to become heavy with sleep. He closed his eyes, and his mother followed suit. They sat there in the hug together, as one happy family.
