The solar shined very bright as it's light flare peeked through the curtains of Harmony's room, her hooves tightened on the blanket as she even dared to wake herself. Until a loud knock on the door made her eye-lid's slightly creek open.. She wouldn't move a inch, she was so very tired. Go away, go away.. She continued to stay still as the knocking seemed to stop after a few moments. The door slammed open in a fit of rage, there stood her brother Illusion with angry eye's that could tear through Harmony's eye's. He approached silently as he sat on the bed, Harmony peered over at him so very confused. Why is he acting like this? Her jaw opened but it closed as his gaze begun to linger over hers. She remembered that look.. she knew it.. It was the look he had when they left Celestia. She never called Celestia 'mother' because she never earned that title, but Illusion had a weird connection to her and he wouldn't let it go. Finally she had the guts to mumble a few words. "Uhh.. Illusion, are you alright? You seem u-upset.." Harmony seemed to mutter but only a hoof came over her shoulder and Illusion just smiled, a soft one.

He sighed as he begun to remove his hoof from the mare's shoulder. "H-harmony.. I heard mother and father speaking t-they are arguing, unlike before. F-father he.. he.." He halted in his word's he couldn't admit a word. Illusion bolted out of the room in fear, he couldn't handle the pressure of his parents anymore, the only light in his life was his aunts and sister. I can't.. This time he took it to far.. that beast wasn't my father.. He was different, he wasn't the one who smiled at me.. He wasn't the one who protected his family.. Nor was that prissy princess, Father always promised not to- His thoughts halted, he had to calm himself. He continued to bang his head on the wall until a hoof came to his shoulder, it wasn't Harmony, it wasn't Celestia, it wasn't Starburst, or Cadence.. But it was a welcoming feeling. A presence people forget at times, he would never forget that touch though. His eye's turned over, L-luna? But two mares stood behind her. Twilight and Fluttershy, Luna and Twilight seemed to know Celestia best but Fluttershy was so very close to Discord, she knew him like the back of her hoof. Luna's tense usual gaze was gone he could see the softness and care in her eye's, it reminded him of.. no... He wouldn't dare think about them right now. "Aunt Luna, Aunt Twilight, Fluttershy? W-whats going on? Can't you see I want to be alone! I can't deal with thinking of mother and father anymore, nor can Harmony. Why did we have to be pulled into this? Why can't father respect mother's work? Why can't mother take time for us, I'm so confused Aunt Luna..." Then suddenly hoof step's that hadn't been heard in a while approached, his brother, Pax.. Side-ruler of Equestria, who seemed to out-rank him. Before any pony could respond Illusion cut them off. "Oh isn't it my brother, mother's favorite, aye?" His voice at that time sounded like Discord's, Fluttershy couldn't help but smile as he seemed to remind her of Discord but frown at the rude remark he had made.

Pax stared down in a rude glare but then shifted to a soft smile, like Celestia's. "It's been many years since I've seen you like this brother.. Please stop neglecting me, I know mother took much fondness of me, but know this.. I'm still your brother.. Your ruler.. And will you accept me as your friend?" Pax looked down upon him, before a hoof reached down and helped Illusion up. "Now then little brother, can you inform us on what happened between mother and Discord?" Illusion hesitated, his head lowered in sadness. Fluttershy cupped his chin in a very soft manner.

"Do not be afraid to tell us, we are your family.. Your friends, we all care about Discord and Celestia very much.. Now Illusion please tell us.." Fluttershy seemed to speak in such a soft tone it even made Illusion make a faint smile, finally he nodded in pure despair. He should trust them.. It's not like he was telling some stranger.. This was some of the ponies he cared for most. His eye's inched toward's Twilight, for once she wasn't eagerly holding a pen and notepad, just looking.. Staring with worrying eye's. While Luna stared silently at Ilusion, he was the center of attention and they all waited for an answer. Illusion almost couldn't.. Until Fluttershy softly put a hoof on his shoulder. "Whatever happened you can tell us.." Illusion finally nodded.. And they looked at each other, not with eager eye's but hopeful eye's.

"Y-you see..." His voice was under his breathe.. Suddenly his eye's shifted to them in a dark manner. "Father..." He couldn't hold it any longer, he had to let his words free. "He hurt mother.. Yesterday after our family gathering I was walking through the halls.. I-I saw Discord and Celestia speaking, then it turned to yelling.. They where talking and yelling about a lot of things, but mainly about Harmony, Pax, and I.. How we couldn't leave her again, then it turned to trust problems.. Then out of pure rage he.. Didn't just hit her he...-" Illusion broke through them running with full force. Not away, towards his father's room. Where he heard Discord stomping around. The door slammed open and there stood a angry Illusion, eye's turning a furious way. Discord looked over in pure confusion.. Then the ponies ran after Illusion. "I can't believe you dare hurt mother! After all you've been through with us, with her! I always knew that you had something strange about you, but out right hurting someone? You couldn't even hurt a fly! I don't care if she wasn't there for a few years, the day I learned who she was I knew I wouldn't have her A attention since, I don't know shes RULER of all Equestria! But you can't respect that! Because you-" He halted his pitch as his gaze met Discord's. "Are a monster.." Discord stood in pure shock, then it all came back to Discord.. Yesterday, when Celestia stated 'I couldn't bare to see him in stone' He couldn't believe he hurt her, he was to busy stomping around to remember that moment.. Where everything he cared for was destroyed.. Yes he cares for Celestia, he couldn't reject it anymore . Yesterday he hurt her, not only a hit.. Emotionally and physically, he left a bruise on her and her heart..

Suddenly he slithered out of the room and ran out to find Celestia, most likely thinking about what happened yesterday.
