Please take note that this is without a doubt going to be a really hard story to write, I'm not good with rhyming at ALL so please understand this and don't criticize me for not writing the character correctly when I am doing the best that I can. Ok? Also Disclaimer that forgot to put in my first fan fic, I do not own Mlp fim characters, only the ocs used. And I'll more than likely rhyme for a little bit before stopping when I get to a point where it'd be too difficult a part to continue. With all this in mind enjoy the story.
Zecora sighed as she worked on her brews and tried a few. None seemed to work to cure her curse and things seemed to only get worse. In her home she sat in fear, yearning for the one her heart held dear. Zenkai most likely had not thought of her for years, and this only strengthened the zebera's fears. With a sigh she rose and looked through her herbs for the cure that no pony knows. She thought that the hearts desire could cure her, but she knew that a price was required.
She touched up her brew and looked up hearing a sound, most new. She walked to her door and took a peek, shocked to see a zebra most meek. When asked to come in the stranger did not give in, and instead slipped a note written in pink pen. The curious zebra took a look and noticed with shock it was the page of a book. A spell she could not cast as it would be tragic, it only worked with Alicorn magic. The spell she had been searching for, and it was written quite well. When she looked up to thank the stranger, she ran away as if from danger.
Zecora looked at the page quietly and in awe. SHe could easily read that if not preformed correctly the zebra could easily be facing danger worse than just a rhyme in her words for the rest of her life, she could be doubly cursed or even worse she could die. Would that be worth it? Would dying be worth it? She did not know.
Still the spell could finally free her to return to help her see her beloved on last time, but would twilight agree? She could only hope that she would. She packed the page and a few other odd little things before setting out to the castle of Friendship where Princess Twilight and her new wife were. She felt happy for them and could only hope that once this curse was lifted she was able to go to her homeland and get Zenkai back to bring her there. With Equestria being more open to gay marriage they would be protected and way from any pony who could tear them apart.
Zecora did not know who she would go to if Twilight and Summer had already left for their honeymoon, perhaps she could responsibly wait a week or so for her to return but then again the sooner the spell was cast he sooner she would be with her beloved again. Surely they wouldn't really leave right after the wedding right? That was just silly. Still she had to try. She simply had to. Twilight was her only real hope at this point. If she couldn't help her, then who could? Or rather who WOULD? Who in their right mind other than Twilight would help somepony like her?
Still, she knocked on the door, only to have Twilight come out almost instantly, looking like she was in the middle of packing things up for her and her wife to go on the honeymoon. She spotted the Zebra and smiled at her.
"Oh. Hi Zecora. What A surprise to see you here. I wasn't expecting you." Twilight said setting the suitcase down with her magic before inviting the Zebera inside for some tea.
Zecora agreed with only a nod and made herself comfortable in the dining hall as Twilight served the two of them tea. The purple alicorn looked happy as could be, after all she had just married the pony of her dreams. What more could she really ask for right?
"So Zecora. What brings you here. Sorry Summer isn't here right now, she's at the station getting our tickets for tomorrow's train ride. We're going to Applewood for our honeymoon." Twilight gushed as she sipped her tea before blinking at Zecora's serious and quiet look.
Zecora set her tea down as she looked at her and gave a pleading look, "Princess Twilight, who changed the potion from purple to white, you could see why the sky was day and night. And now I ask for your help, as I have a spell that can cure this cursed whelp."
Twilight blinked and thought a moment before she gasped as realization hit her and she offered for her to come in, "You mean your rhyming curse...I-I don't have a spell for-"
She stopped when the Zebra pulled out the book page and she used her magic to levitate it over to her before she gulped, looking from the zebra to the page a few times. This spell was the highest level imaginable, only an Alicorn could pull it off successfully. But then Twilight wasn't sure she was the Alicorn who would be able to do this sort of spell. What if it back fired? Would Zecora be hurt worse? Or would the rhyming just get worse? Would it make the curse irreversible? Suddenly she looked back at the Zebra she called her friend and she could see the hope in her eyes.
Even if there was no telling if this would work she still had that hope in her eyes. The hope of finding her true love once again and being able to speak to her without the pesky rhymes stopping her from telling her how she felt. There was a risk to what the Zebera wanted and she knew good and well what the cost of failure was. Still that didn't stop her and it reminded Twilight of herself and Summer, what could have happened to them if not for everypony's support. Finally, the princess let out a sigh as she looked at her friend.
"Ok Zecora. I'll try and preform this spell for you. And after you tell me why this is so urgent." Twilight said as her horn began to glow, leaving to Zebra in a magenta aura and levitating her off the ground. The purple alicorn seemed to struggle but she finally completed the spell and lowered Zecora to the ground, looking at Zecora quietly, suspense filling the air.
"did it...work?" Twilight asked the Zebra.
Zecora looked at her before she glanced around slightly and took in a deep breath, for the moment of truth to finally shine.
