If I lived

My parents

In the land of the dead

Another beautiful day has pass in the land of the dead, well there was always beautiful days. Aurora had just spent another day playing with her grandparents, she always played with them and she loved it. But something was on her mind, they were her Grandparents and not her parents? Aurora wanted to know who were her parents?

"Aurora" shouted Arena while she walk around the castle

"Here!" shouted Aurora as she ran towards her grandmother

"Ah! Good, I need to tell you something" said Arena

"What is it?" ask Aurora

"I'm certain that you notice, that we mention your parents often" said Arena as she sat down in front of her

"I did! And I wanted to know about them!" shouted Aurora, she couldn't believe her luck. She thought it would be one of those, hard asking questions, where it would take days for an answer.

"Well there is much we can say about your father since we don't know him, but we can tell you about your mother" said Arena as she smiled at her granddaughter

"My mother!" Aurora couldn't believe her ears, she was about to learn more about her parents

"But first! Do you know where you are?" ask Arena

"I'm in a castle" answered Aurora, she couldn't understand why her grandmother was asking such questions

"A castle yes but this is a copy of the original" said Arena, Aurora just stared at her grandmother in complete confusion "This castle is called Cloud Kingdom, a beautiful castle and this is where we came from"

"You mean you and grandpa?" ask Aurora

"Yes" smiled Arena as she ruffed her mane a bit "And the place where your mother was born"

"Wow! Wait what did you mean copy?" ask Aurora

"This is the land of the dead and this castle, this castle is our heaven. This world creates what he desire the most and create it" explained Arena

"I'm dead? Really?" Aurora stared at her hooves and touched them together "How?"

"You would have been with your parents if you haven't passed" said Arena as she nuzzled her gently

"I don't understand" said Aurora. Arena began to explain the world of the living, the joy of winter, animals and her death. Aurora was horrified she missed so much of the possible life, she could had have but was taken away. But Arena didn't tell something very important she didn't tell who cause her death, and the real reason why.

"My mother didn't want me?" ask Aurora as she was about to cry

"No!" Arena held her in her wing and kissed her on the head "Your mother is a kind pony, she loved you, both of your parents did but because of certain incidents...well you left"

"But why me?" ask Aurora as she whip her nose

"Destiny isn't kind with our family, our family have suffered through so much over the years. When I met you're grandfather it wasn't easy, I didn't think I would ever be with him. But we did in the end and we were happy, things were going so perfect. We were happy, our kingdom was flourishing and we were about to have a foal. Your mother, we loved her even before she was born, we wanted to protect her and see her grow. Our dream was taken away when we died, a evil pony named Sombra. He took our lives and our dream, your mother was taken care of by some dear friends but the kingdom fell" Arena held a few tears back as she told her tall of pain.

"Why?" ask Aurora

"Citizens of Cloud Kingdom thought we abandon the kingdom and our daughter, they didn't know that we left to fight Sombra. And when the princess was missing...well it didn't turn out so well. Some years passed and the kingdom fell, it was forgotten by ponies but not by its citizens" said Arena as she gently tap her on the nose "What I'm trying to tell you, is that if we could change the past, I would want you to live and see the kindness your mother has"

"I want to see her" said Aurora as she pushed her grandmother's wing back "I want to meet my mother"

"Aurora you can't! It's against the law!" shouted Arena

"My chance to be alive was stolen from me! And I want to have it back!" shouted Aurora

"Aurora you can't go to the land of the living! The dead and living are never allowed to see each other!" said Arena as she walk towards her grandfoal "The reaper would never allow it"

"HE LET YOU GO!" shouted Aurora as she stomp her hoof in anger "YOU GOT TO MEET MOM!"

"I know..." Arena turned her head away "I don't know why he did but I'm pretty sure, he won't do it again"

"You just don't want me to meet my mother!" shouted Aurora as she stomp away from her "You abandon her! You hated her!"

"AURORA!" shouted Arena as she suddenly stood in front of her grandfoal, Aurora back away in fear and surprise "I love you mother, I care about her and the last thing I want is to see her dead! Your grandfather and I, would do anything for her. But you need to accept, you can never meet her in her lifetime! When the time comes, she'll come to you"

"I hate you" mumbled Aurora as she started to cry once more

"What?" Arena was in shock of what she just heard

"I HATE YOU! YOU'RE A TERRIBLE MOTHER!" shouted Aurora as she ran off to her room. Arena just stood there, she didn't say a word or didn't move Arena just stood there.

Aurora's room

Aurora just crossed her hooves and cried, she hated what her grandmother told her. Aurora wanted to meet her parents and she didn't care how, she was going to meet them not matter what she has to do.

"I'm not going to be dead forever" said Aurora as she stared at her window, Aurora stood up from her bed and opened the window. Aurora look back at her room before she leapt outside, Aurora ran further and further away from her grandparents heaven and into the unknown "I...I...I have to find the grim reaper!"
