Ch 9, Rebirth

Well this is it.

Garn felt like his spirit was wandering amidst an ocean, the waves enveloping him as he floated across the seas of time. He defeated Chaos, and righted a great wrong done before his time. He should feel exhilarated, but he should also be feeling nothing.

Is Luna alright?

Is Chaos Still Alive?

Did I fail?

“She is fine, as are all your friends.”

“Who are you? Show yourself.” Garn asked, his body light and his mind free of any worry or sorrow.

“Don’t you recognize me? Well perhaps you should open your eyes.” Came the sweet familiar voice.

Garn Opened his eyes, and found himself standing in a large spacious area, white light shining from an unknown source. Garn felt like his head was clearer than it had ever been before, and he turned his head to see where the voice was coming from.

“I’m sorry, I forgot that you cant see me unless I will it.”

A crack and a flash of golden light and a tall Alicorn stood before him, her wild white mane complimenting her golden fur. Her large Golden eyes peered into his, and a smile spread across her muzzle, which filled Garn with a familiar happiness.

“Mom?”

She smiled and nodded her head, and Garn rushed forward to wrap his arms around her neck.

“But, the Soul destruction phrase, it kills both people, how are you here?”

Nether laughed and patted him on the head as if he was still a child, it had made her proud to see her son grow up.

“It did, but the power of love and friendship transcends even the ancient words of power. You should know that Garnet.”

He nodded his head and sat down, finding a comfortable couch where he was laying back. Nether nodded with a smile and sat next to him, hugging him with her wing as she closed her eyes.

“I am so proud of you Garnet. You found love, made friends, and defeated chaos, something your father and I could not accomplish.”

Garn stared at her and tried to remember who his father was, he hadn’t been there to raise him.

“He sacrificed his life when you were born to hold Chaos back so that I could escape with you. He was a kind man, and a very powerful master of magic.”

Garn nodded his head and shifted uneasily in his seat.

“What was his name?”

Nether smiled and shook her head with a chuckle.

“Called himself Diamond Jack. He was a magician in Las Vegas. When he found me after I was sent here, he nursed me back to health and we fell in love.”

She smiled as if recalling a distant memory, and then lowered her head in sadness.

“He was courageous and true. Never had I met a man or stallion like him before.”

She then looked to her son and grinned with a cocked eyebrow.

“But you know about the joy of love don’t you my dear Garnet?”

Garnet nodded his head, memories of Luna filling his head like a sped up film. He lowered his head into his hands and whimpered.

“what would you give to be with her again?” she asked, smiling faintly before locking eyes with him.

He would give everything, he envisioned having her there to hold him, for them to face any challenge the way he had always planned.

Together.

“I would give everything, I would give my soul.”

Nether smiled brightly and placed a hoof on his shoulder.

“What if I could send you back, for a price of course.”

Garn looked at her, eyes filled with hope.

“Can you?”

Nether stood and walked away from the couch, looking over her shoulder with a wink.

“I was at one time Goddess of time and space, I may have enough power left in me to send you back… to Equestria.”

Garn felt his jaw drop, and Nether laughed at the sight, she had almost forgotten what it was like to see a human’s reactions.

“You can send me to Equestria? that’s fantastic!”

Nether laughed and messed with Garn’s hair, smiling as she recalled performing the same action when he was a child.

“However, you would be a bit… different when you returned.”

Garn shook his head, he could care less how he came back, just as long as he could have her back. He wanted more than ever to be with her, to feel her body pressed tightly to his, her lips…

“Too much info my son.” Nether chuckled.

“Mind reading?”

She smiled and raised an eyebrow, nodding her head in response.

“One of the perks of being in my place.”

Garn walked up and hugged her, feeling her wrap her hooves around him.

“I love you mom.”

She laughed and squeezed him.

“I expect grandkids, you understand?”

Suddenly he felt like the entire area was vanishing like sand in the wind, watching as the white room was soon becoming fainter and fainter. He smiled and waved at his mother before saying a final goodbye.

Take care…my dear Garnet.

~After the Storm~

“Princess! He twitched! I saw it I saw it I saw it!” An incessant cry pierced Garn’s peace.

He opened his eyes slowly and winced at the light, raising a hoof to cover the light

A hoof?

He looked around and saw a pink pony with familiar hair leaping around his bed, and as he turned his head he saw six more approaching him. The room was gorgeous, whit with great pillars, and a plethora of balloons tied to the bed post.

“Pinkie?”

She got wide eyed and wiggled her flank like a dog, leaping faster as he spoke.

“Oh my god yes! You remember!”

She lunged forward and wrapped her pink hooves tightly around his neck, and he grunted as pain shot down his spine. He felt heavier, bigger, and there was a feeling on his back he never felt before.

“Garnet? How are you feeling?” Twilight asked, her cute purple face scrunched with her holding back her tears.

Her purple hoof was placed at the edge of the bed, and he began to recognize all the others. Rarity and Applejack were at the other side, both smiling widely as they cried softly, Fluttershy and Dash were hovering above him, both pushed tightly against each other as Dash brushed her chin with her hoof.

“I knew it would take more than that to kill the best flyer on earth.”

He laughed, it hurt.

“Ow. Where’s Celestia?”

He felt her presence next to him, and he looked up to se her soft smile spread wider as he waved a hoof at her.

“So?”

She blushed and chuckled, averting his eyes as she shuffled a hoof against the floor.

“Not yet, I was going to wait until you woke up.”

Garn raised an eyebrow he supposed and smiled.

“And what if I didn’t wake up?”

“silly, we knew you would wake up!” Pinkie proclaimed, pulling at the sheets with her teeth.

“You look much more refined as a royal Alicorn, you must let me design your raiments my lord.” Rarity whispered, her eyes widening anxiously.

My lord?

He stepped out of the bed and popped his back, feeling the weight of his hooves as they supported his well defined frame.

“Twilight? A mirror please.” Celestia whispered.

A mirror hovered up to him, and Garn gasped at the reflection. He was as tall or taller than Celestia, with a wide chest and a slender face. His mane, as gold as the sun, shone as he whipped it around experimentally. His eyes were no longer blue, they were red as rubies, and he marveled at the ivory horn atop his head. He looked back with a giddy grin and rustled his wings, and thanked his mother quietly for a second chance.

“Where’s Luna?” He asked, stepping forward and toppling over in the process, this would take some getting used to.

“She’s asleep, you need to rest too.” Celestia urged.

Everypony began to agree aloud with Celestia, and Garn became growingly annoyed. He grunted and stood to his full height, stretching his wings as far as they would go. As soon as he did the others, including Celestia became very quiet, and their eyes widened even bigger.

“What? What is it?” he asked, looking at the mirror and startling himself.

His feathers were gold and red, a gradient that started at the edge of his feathers and progressed to the appendage that held them. He whistled and posed, stretching each individual wing so he could see all the feathers.

“Wow. That’s… well that’s not in any of my books.” Twilight whispered, her eyes drinking in the majestic sight.

“I’ll ask again, where is Luna?”

Celestia motioned for the balcony and nodded.

“Her tower is to the east, just fly up and try not to wake her, the last month has been…trying for her.

A month!?

He sighed and walked to the balcony, watching with awe as the view revealed the whole kingdom. It was so much more…colorful than earth.

Plenty of time to explore later, now I have to find Luna.

He leaped off the balcony, feeling the wind as it rushed through his outstretched wings, the feeling of flight was amazing, and he became more and more appreciative of his new body. He landed on the tall tower balcony and walked to the window, knocking lightly with his hoof.

“I don’t want to talk Tia, leave me be.”

He lowered his head, she sounded so sad.

He knocked again, harder this time. He heard rustling and then the door clicked, and a tall black Alicorn met him face to face, her eyes burning with anger.

“I said I don’t want!” she stopped as she saw Garn, and a few silent seconds passed.

“Ga…Garnet?”

He smiled sheepishly and bowed low. He waited for her response, and as he looked back at her he saw the same sultry, lust filled glare she gave him that night they…

“Please come in.” She whispered with a husky edge.

He felt like he had been hypnotized, the way she moved back into the room with her hips swaying.

Damn!

She closed the door behind them with a soft click and watched him, moving around to look at him more closely.

“You look… well.” She finally said, shaking her head to try and fight back her lust.

He smiled and approached, and with every step forward she took a playful step back. Finally he had her against a wall, and he leaned in to nip at her ear.

“You can look Luna, I don’t mind.”

She sighed with a content smile and circled him, occasionally grazing him with a flick of her tail. He noticed she had the ethereal hair of her sister, with the twinkling of the midnight stars within. The scent of her hair sent shivers down his spine, and he yelped as she trailed her tongue against his neck.

“You taste good.” She whispered, nibbling at the corner of his ear.

Wow!

“Uh… Luna, don’t you wanna talk or…something?”

She grinned and pressed a hoof to his chest, looking at his wings for a second before she winked alluringly at him.

“Your right, first I wanna get those wings popping.”

Garn didn’t get what she was saying before she leaned in and kissed him, her eyes closing as the intensity grew. He closed his eyes and felt the rush of happiness flood back inside of him, this world, this goddess, he would do everything in his power to protect them, to love them.

He felt her tongue enter his mouth as his mind wandered, and he felt his wings extend with a satisfying pop. She backed away and smiled devilishly, gazing at the wings as they spread wide.

“Very nice.” She moaned, wrapping her arms around Garnet with a strength he didn’t know she had.

“you once apologized to me for something you didn’t do, are you going to make that wrong right?”

He smiled and nuzzled her, his golden hair falling across his face.

“Damn straight I am.
