Previous Chapter Next Chapter

The medics carefully moved Selene from the bed to the couch in the lower portion of the library. They were looking over the pictures that her mother had sent. Celestia and Rainbow were snickering as they were staring at a picture of Twilight wearing a coconut bra with a grass skirt and a rainbow mane. She was on her back hooves swinging around her face was flushed as she was holding a drink in her hooves. The next few pictures then progress showing Selene picking up a grilled fish on a stick and placing it in her mouth. The last few pictures had her falling back into the sand with her hooves in the air as Selene is looking down at her. After that, they had a few more pictures where Twilight was lying under the shade holding her head as Selene was laying in front of her staring till they flipped a few more pictures. Selene used her tail and made a wave go over her and landed on Twilight. Once the wave was gone Twilight was glaring at Selene with kelp covering her mane and a starfish was on her muzzle while a crab stood on her back. Rainbow fell over laughing as Celestia couldn’t keep a straight face anymore.

“Oh my gosh!” Rainbow was on the floor as Shining Armor was writing his mother back sheepishly. Twilight was doing her best to keep from freaking out. Luna watched as the purple unicorn was rocking herself back and forth. Her eyes glanced towards the sleeping merpony noticing the bags under her eyes.

“Twilight my friend. Why did the medics move Selene downstairs?” Luna tilted her head as Twilight snapped out of her thoughts.

“They wanted her near the tank in case we couldn’t keep her tail wet why?”

“She needs sleep heavily. I do not think a couch will provide much support for her” Luna moved her wing over Selene’s head as she watched her gills move a bit.

“True but this does allow us to keep a better eye on her while the medics are out” Twilight glanced back towards Selene noticing her moving her head into a pillow as her tail was giving her fits. Selene suddenly sat up and looked towards the kitchen quickly moving to the sink. The ponies turned and watched her lose her stomach in the sink.

“I think the meds hate me” Selene wined out as she kept her head resting on the sink.

“Well, when the medics come back we can see if they can give you something different” Twilight spoke up as Selene shook her head. She put her head back into the sink losing her stomach again. As she reached up to turn the sink on a light brown stingray dropped on her head causing her to sigh.

“Toooka letter!” Selene moved the Stingray from her head holding it out towards Twilight. The unicorn picked up the stingray in her magic holding it out in front. The stingray smiled allowing her to see the grey seal on its head. The wings folded up towards its stomach causing the body to square out. The tail of the stingray turned into a long dark greyish blue ribbon wrapping around the letter. Twilight flipped it over noticing the letters were staying in place as they spelled out Selene’s name.

“It’s for you Selene” Twilight looked towards the merpony hanging on the sink.

“Can you read it please” she wined out as Twilight opened up the letter.

Dear Selene,

I am writing to you to let you know me and Ra will be coming to Equestria sooner than expected. Your father has sent a letter towards Celestia with details for her but I wanted to inform you myself. First off Maremuda was in the middle of a civil war with each other. The reason the peace treaty your father wants to sign with your aunts.

Second the nobles have requested him to do a few things to end the civil war. Those things are one to exile you and to cut all times you and your child or children you may have to the throne. (They wanted to be executed but you know how that goes) Your father has given me and Ra to Celestia and Luna as a gift for them but to let you have ponies from home that you know. You will not be exiled until the peace treaty is signed.

Third…I hope this reaches you in time. Run your brothers along with Stratus have packed up a chariot with gifts after hearing Saluki’s story. They are on their way along with us. Me and Ra are leaving early hoping to throw them off as your father is sending them to Canterlot. May the sea gods have mercy on Celestia and Luna.”

Love Za”

Selene sighed as she rested her head on the sink listening to Twilight read the letter out loud. She heard a couple of gasp from the ponies in the room nearby as Selene started to laugh. Her laughter could be heard throughout the treehouse causing them to stare at her in a worried look. Her laughter soon turned to crying and shouting. Selene banged her hooves on the sink causing the faucet to break off and hit the ceiling as water started to shoot everywhere.

“Oh, boy” Applejack spoke as the others were staring shock. Celestia leaned over an picked up the pictures as the room started to flood causing Twilight to panic. She ran around the room picking up all the books from the low level. Luna stood up as she walked towards the crying merpony. She picked up Selene from the floor as the water started to flow to a small trickle. Luna took her up to the second floor where she could calm herself down peacefully. She placed Selene down on the carpet noticing her blankness stare.

“Feel better?” she spoke up as she kept her eyes on Selene.

“I knew they wanted him to exile me. They never hid that from me when I was around my parents. I never thought he would do it. I thought that was the one thing he would stop them” Selene placed her face into her hooves as Luna glance down at her.

“So?” Luna spoke up causing Selene to sit up looking at her aunt.

“But they're my family”

“I know but think about this. The nobles are scared of you Selene. They know they can use your brothers and your father. I am shocked my sister is one of them however you are not. Let them be scared of you it means you can go elsewhere to share the knowledge you carry with those who are willing to hear and to learn” Luna sat beside her as she draped a wing around her. As Selene was nestling up to Luna the bedroom door opened up as a medical pony walked in with Mistwing. As the medical pony was talking about the test results Twilight was downstairs moping up the water. Spike was busy helping with Rainbow placing tape around the broken faucet.

“I never thought that would happen” Fluttershy was helping clean up the water.

“I knew she could get angry but only if Star was out” Twilight looked towards her friends as Celestia was helping with the books.

“Well, it's nice to know she can get angry without the creepy curse hanging around” Applejack shivered. As they were cleaning the water in the library they heard a loud “What!” roared through the library causing Twilight to jump.

“Was that Luna or was that Selene?” Rarity looked towards the others.

“Could be either one. The medic went up” Celestia looked towards the stairs as Spike and Rainbow were shot off of the faucet. Water was rushing into the library causing Twilight to run into overdrive.

“I’m guessing that was Selene” Fluttershy watched as the medic ran out of the room “You are Lying!” they all heard Star shouting her voice full of worry and anger.

“Oh no, you don’t!” Luna shouted back.

“Unhand me you moon pony!” Star shouted again as they heard some commotion upstairs before Mistwing walked down the stairs looking towards Shining Armor.

“I am requiring assistance with Princess Selene” she looked towards the other guard as they heard a loud thud.

“oh no…no…no…no” Luna started to panic.

“What is going on?” Twilight looked towards the guard as Mistwing looked away.

“Well, Princess Selene blood results showed she had a high acid content and was anemic. They gave her meds for the issues and retested her blood. It was showing the same results hours later. We consulted a marine biologist and well its common in fish to have these two things when they're pregnant. That test came back positive and he broke it to Selene” Mistwing looked upstairs as Twilight’s eyes rolled back into her eyes before falling into the water. Celestia used her magic to catch the books she was holding in her hooves.

“Okay, so two modes of transport” Mistwing looked up the stairs. Celestia shook her head as Rarity walked over to the purple unicorn.

“Oh, darling we can keep her and Selene in town. I can keep Twilight as Pinkie or Applejack can keep Selene” Rarity moved her mane as the others nodded while Luna walked down holding a knocked out merpony hanging from her mane.

“That curse is. Going. To. Be. The. Death. Of. Me!” Luna huffed as she looked towards her sister noticing the water had risen higher than before.

“What happened down here?” she blinked as Celestia placed the books on a higher shelf.

“Selene’s emotions” Fluttershy sighed as she looked towards the merpony “I’ll take her it might give Discord some time to make a new friend” she smiled as the others nodded.

“Well, Flutters is more suited to take care of her” Applejack spoke up as Luna smiled.

“Wait what is going on?” Luna looked towards her sister.

“The girls will take care of Twilight and Selene while we take care of stuff on our end.” Celestia looked towards Shining Armor who simply bowed towards her. Luna placed Selene on Mistwing’s back.

“I will check in on her. Mistwing will help you for the time being” Luna smiled before following her sister out of the treehouse.

“Will you guys need help with Twilight?” Fluttershy looked towards the others as Applejack placed the unconscious unicorn on her back.

“We got it sug” Applejack smiled as Fluttershy walked out of the treehouse with Mistwing following her. IT was a silent trip as Fluttershy was to shy to speak to the lunar guard who would stare over at her. Every time Mistwing would look over at Fluttershy she would stop and lower herself onto the ground. It was slow but they made it to the small little cottage where Discord was happily cleaning it with the windows open and singing.

“Never thought I would see chaos singing” Mistwing stared at the creature as he walked out wearing a pink apron and a pink bow on his head. He was standing outside shaking out a rag while singing as the animals were watching in shock. He looked over and noticed Fluttershy walking up to the cottage with a lunar guard carrying Selene. He dropped the rag moving towards the guard quickly. Picking up the sleeping merpony in his arms he quickly moving towards the cottage leaving the two mares in shock. Both of them walk up to the cottage noticing the front room was turned into a large koi pond with lily pads on the front and a small waterfall in the corner. Fluttershy noticed Discord was sitting on the side wearing a blue kimono holding a small teacup in his claws.

“Is this normal?”

“For Discord yes” Fluttershy looked towards the lunar guard “Would you like something to eat?” She watched as the guard nod slowly wanting to get out of the room. Discord kept his eyes on the ponies before moving down to the sleeping merpony. He noticed the bags under her eyes as she was reding her head on the small bed of seaweed. Sitting their he wanted to know what happened to his merpony.

“You seemed protective over a mare you hardly know” Mistwing spoke up as Fluttershy walked in carrying a tray of tea. Discord smiled as he looked towards the guard.

“First off who wouldn’t be proud that a pony who looks so chaotic with a chaotic curse has such a soft and harmony soul to them. Plus she is my niece related to me by blood” Discord sipped his drink as Fluttershy looked towards him.

“I thought Celestia and Luna were her aunts”

“I had one older sister and two younger sisters. My oldest sister was lost to the sea so I thought. I lost my sanity trying to help my mother in the north. My two younger sisters gain the talents of the gods” He snickered as Fluttershy walked up towards him.

“Oh, why didn’t you say something?” Fluttershy held out a small tray full of treats.

“Something I am not proud of my dear” Discord leaned down and kissed her cheek causing Fluttershy to blush. The guard stared at them as she picked up a treat from the tray.

“I never thought of a merpony as a chaotic creature”

“Oh, they are. My friend Korri her father made them a long time ago. Her father Navix the true king of chaos made them outdo my mother and her pony creations.” Discord smiled as Fluttershy placed the tray down staring up at him.

“Then how are you chaotic? Your mother cheats with him” This made Discord glare the guard down.

“My mother was sick and needed a potion that could be created by chaos. I begged and begged the king. I did everything in my power to please King Navix and when he finally changed me…my mother had passed. I lost it and then you know the rest. My sisters place me in stone blah…blah….blah” he rolled his eyes as Fluttershy sat beside him. Discord sighed as he looked down at the moving merpony. Selene let out a yawn as she opened her eyes allowing Discord to see the tiredness in them. She glanced up and noticing Twilight was not the one looking at her but Discord and Fluttershy. Sitting up she noticed Mistwing was all sitting in the room as she moved a lily pad from her head.

“Where is Twilight? I need to speak to her” Selene looked around as Discord placed his paw on her shoulder.

“You need to rest”

“But I need to talk to her. It’s about the results the medics found” Selene was looking around as Discord held her back shaking his head.

“By the look of your eyes, you need rest”

“No…why does everypony tell me I need to rest?” Selene looked around as Discord made a mirror appear in his claw. Selene moved towards the mirror noticing how bad her eyes were. Sitting back into the pond she looked towards her hooves.

“Now why do you want to talk to Starbutt” Discord handed her some tea as Selene picked up the tea that was offered to her.

“Because”

“Your pregnant…is it Twilights?” Mistwing spoke up as Discord broke the cup in his claws.

“Yes. I wasn’t thinking about the nights we spent together. I didn’t think our biology would be compatible” she glanced up towards the guard noticing Discord was fuming.

“She is so taking responsibility!” Discord got up as Fluttershy and the guard ran after him. Selene sat in quiet as she was shocked seeing how angry he got. She placed the cup down as she placed her spell on. She knew the doctors told her it wasn’t a good idea but she needed to follow the ponies. Once she was in town she noticed Discord was busy yelling at Twilight and her friends.

Star?”

Where will you run this time?” She walked around the large mass of ponies gathering to watch the fight. She was glancing around the ponies she was unaware of the eyes of two stallions watching her from the shadows.

Is that the one the boss wanted?” A dark grey unicorn stallion looked towards a darker tall brown earth pony.

Yeah he already had a buyer. But they released her before he could grab her” The pony walked up behind Selene placing his hoof over her mouth keeping her screams muffled. He pulled her back towards the alley where they had a box waiting. As they were busy stuffing her into the box allowing her cries to be heard a small baby dragon was watching them.

“Load her up now!” the pony hissed as the unicorn picked up the box and carried her to the train station. The two ponies heard Spike shouting as they turned and noticed he was pointing to them. The unicorn ran towards the train tossing the box to a third pony waiting on board. Selene was curled up into a ball scared as she could feel the box shake and move. She only had a hole allowing her to see the others running towards her before darkness took over.

Star”

“I’m still with you”

“Can we”

“Not in your current state Selene” Star felt sorry as Selene started to shake scared of the outcome.
