Chapter 32

Luna walks outside followed by her daughter Amaris, enjoying the breeze of the cool morning air. Tiberius walks over to his Aunt Luna, who smiles at her nephew. “Ah, good morning Tib-” Luna said, but Celestia cuts her off.

“You told him about her?” Celestia questions, her tone slightly strict. Luna’s eyes and expression went from calm to slightly worried. “I knew Tia was going to kill me.” She thought to herself.

“Well he was bound to find out one way or another.” Luna shot back, her tone defensive.

Tension can be sense between the two. “All I am wanting is a straight answer.” Said Tiberius, his tone blunt.

Luna and Celestia finally broke their eye contact from each other to turn their attention to the draconequus. “So you both are saying that this Harmonia character is another draconequus, like me?” Tiberius said, slowly coming to a conclusion.

Celestia and Luna, both looked at each other with worrisome expressions. Celestia was the first to sighs. “Yes, but-”

Celestia got cut of by Tiberius's laughter as if somepony was pulling a prank. “You must be joking.” Tiberius said, still continue to laugh.

Amaris and Luna looked at each other, before looking at Tiberius. “You have to be pulling my hoof.” Tiberius said, still laughing, but stopped short when he realized that nopony was laughing.

“Nopony is joking, Tibby.” Amaris said, giving Tiberius his old nickname that she used when she was only three.

Tiberius shook his head, trying his best to not believe anything that they were saying. “You’ve got to be lying.” He scoffs.

“If anypony was lying, don’t you think all of us would be laughing.” Amaris said, her tone serious.

Tiberius looked between the three, his expression soured slightly. “I think I have to go.” Tiberius said, his tone icy.

They watched as Tiberius runs off. “Tiberius wait!” Celestia calls out. Luna turned to her daughter. “Go after him, make sure he doesn’t do anything chaotic.” Luna said, giving her daughter orders.

Amaris nods, and follows after him.

“Why are we here?” Twilight said, her tone leaked with sarcasm and boredom.

“I just have to make a quick stop before we go to our final destination.” Sombra said, smirking at her.

Twilight rolled her eyes, slightly annoyed. “Well this pitstop better be worth it.” She said.

“Don’t worry it will be. Now, come with me.” Sombra said, putting his hoof out before him letting Twilight go first.

Twilight goes in, followed by Sombra. Both making idly chat as they were making their way to though the entrance. “Are you sure Stormy will be okay with the sitter we provided for her? You know what happened to the last several sitters she had.” Twilight said, her tone slightly worried.

Sombra chuckled at his wife’s worried expression. “You simply worry too much, dear. Besides, our daughter is nine now, she has control over her powers. I am pretty sure she’s was only three when she accidently sent her fourth sitter to Taurus.”

Twilight’s eyes widen at the thought. “And she’s probably still there.” Twilight explains, her tone mixed with worry and sarcasm.

Sombra only laughed at his wife’s sarcasm. “We are here.” Sombra said, his tone nonchalant.

The two enter the dingy and dark cavern, the only source of light were made in the cracks of the tops and sides of the cave.

A voice, who was all too familiar echoes through the dark cave. “Ah Somba, back so soon?” she coos, her tone nonchalant.

“Yes, and I just came by to check over the plan once more.” Sombra explains.

“Don’t tell me you forgot already. Well to be fair you are over a thousand years old.” Chrysalis appear from the shadows, her eyes went from calm to curious and almost threatening like.

“What is she doing here?” Chrysalis asks, looking at the dark purple mare.

Sombra smirks at the changeling. “Don’t worry she’s with us.” Sombra said, his tone remained casual.

“So when you said wife you actual meant The Princess of Friendship?” Chrysalis said, slowly coming to terms with what was happening.

“Yeah, what’s it to you?” Twilight asks, her tone was snarky and rather unpleasant.

“A feisty one huh?” Chrysalis asks, her tone playful.

Twilight just rolled her eyes at Chrysalis obviously annoyed at her lame attempt to make conversation.

“Look, I don’t have time for a round of fifty questions, where on a schedule you know.” Twilight said, narrowing her eyes at the two.

“Of course.” Sombra said, nodding at his wife. “It was nice meeting you Chrysalis.” Sombra gave a smirk, before leaving to go to their next destination.

Twilight and Sombra made their way through the dingy cave, and back into the Everfree. “Now onto our next visitor.” Sombra said, going forth, Twilight following close by.

“Twilight…” A voice whispers, it was faint, but Twilight was the only one who could hear it, but she brushed off the thought thinking nothing of it.

“Twilight…” The voice whispers, this time more haunting than ever.

A sharp pain pierce through Twilight’s head, making her wince in pain. “Ahh!” she screams, her eyes squeezed shut.

Sombra stops and turns to Twilight, who notice that she was in pain. “Twilight, are you okay?” He asks, slightly concerned for the young mare.

Twilight eyes snapped open to reveal white iris.

“Why am I back here again?” snears Twilight, who was annoyed.

“It’s about time I got your attention.” snarks Evil Twilight.

“Well did you have to go that route?” Asks Twilight.

Evil Twilight just smirks at her. “What do you mean? Pain is fun!” the Evil Twilight teases.

Twilight just rolls her eyes. “Wait… it’s their suppose to be a good version of my subconscious?”

“Eh, she’s running late.” Shrugs Evil Twilight.

“Twilight, wait!” Twilight said, galloping before them.

“Oh look here’s goody-two-hooves now.” Evil Twilight said, her tone sarcastic.

“Don’t do this!” Twilight said.

“Wait, how can there be two of you? The last time I was here there was only you.” Twilight said, pointing a hoof at Evil Twilight.

“That’s because I was you. You know before you got corrupted, now I’m just buried in the back of your subconscious. Oh and I’m Twily by the way, nice to meet you. ” smiles Twily.

“But, Twilight please just listen to me.” Twily said, looking between the two, but mostly looking at Evil Twilight.

“Nah ah ah, you may call me Eclipsa for now on.” Smirks Evil Twilight.

“Seriously, it took you that long to come up with your own identity.” Twily asked, her tone deadpanned.

“Hey I was doing some planning.” snaps Eclipsa, her tone sarcastic.

Twilight rolled her eyes. “Please… don’t do this Eclipsa, let me show you that there is another way.” Twily begs, her tone pleading.

Twily grabs Twilight and Eclipsa hooves, as well as her own, she put them together, and from the three intimated a bright white light.

***

Twilight races back to Ponyville, obviously tired and out of breath. From an ahead of her was the Castle of Friendship. She smiled as it came into view. “I’m almost home.” she thought to herself.

She throws the castle door open and rushes inside, Her breath rapid and slightly out of breath. Twilight slides her back down the cold bare surface of the door. She sighs, as she caught her breath.

“Mom?!” Harmonia questions, her tone sounding surprised and shocked by her mother’s sudden appearance.

Twilight opens her eyes at the sound of where the voice was coming from, she was slightly startled when the creature came up and hugged her.

She carefully hugged the creature back. “It’s me, Harmonia remember your daughter.” Harmonia said, her voice was slightly excited.

“Of course I remember you, my little fuzzball.” Twilight said.

Three mares came into the hallway of the castle, slightly confused by Harmonia’s excitement.

“Harmonia what is it?” Tempest questions.

“Look Mom’s back!” Harmonia said, still excited.

Trixie, Starlight and Tempest all looked at the young purple alicorn with a bewilderment look on their faces. “Twilight?!” They said in unison.

Twilight looked from Harmonia to the mares, more specifically Starlight. “Hehe, I’m back!” Twilight announced, her tone slightly bashful.
