Pieces of the Heart: Chapter 3
Dimmer and his... Team?
Hi everyone! :D
I'm super sorry about the long wait, I just have 4 original stories that i'm in the middle of writing, and I've been keeping up-to-date with Deviantart. Hell, I've even started a comic for it lol :3
Bright: It's true. But she only has 2 pages so far
TBG: *pouting* It's coming along great thank you very much.
Dimmer: It's in black and white
TBG: A lot of comics are! XP
Burn: ... Yeahhh, I'm out. *walks away*
TBG: gee, thanks guys! Anyways, lets get right down to the chapter since I've delayed it for so long, like an idiot would do :P
LETS GO! XD
"We're here!" Styre called as she flew in through the door with Larixis running behind her. Twilight closed her eyes, making the illusion disappear as the trio looked over to the two young guards.
"I. Really. Hate. Running." Larixis panted.
"You had a torn wing for almost a year, you should be used to it by now." Styre replied, and she landed on the ground beside her brother.
"You two." Dimmer started, looking over at them. "Be quiet."
"Yes, King." Larixis said, respectfully bowing to Dimmer, but Styre just let out a sigh and walked over to the balcony to keep watch. Dimmer turned back to Twilight and Tails.
"Now… Where are the locations of the crystals?" Dimmer asked.
"Uh... We don't exactly know yet, they've been scattered across Equestria as far as our knowledge goes." Twilight said, and Dimmer took a deep breath as he stood up and started to pace back and forth around the room.
"Well… What about Burn? When we find the crystals, are Bright and Burn still… connected?" Dimmer asked.
"No. They were separated like I said before, remember? That's why their cores broke in the first place. We're pretty sure we can revive Burn too, but we would need her crystals as well." Tails explained as he reached for one of the books he put on the table, and flipped it open to a page that was labeled; Hate and Love, at the top.
"What are you doing?" Dimmer asked.
Twilight pointed to a picture of a heart on the bottom on the page, but there was a line down it's middle. On the right side, it was light, but the other side was dark. "This is the only way you can tell them apart. We know this crystal is Bright because that crystal is gentle and calm. She's pure of heart, so she's in a peaceful "dreamland," if that's what you want to call it." Twilight explained. "Plus we've run some tests on it."
Dimmer nodded, and he looked at the picture. "So... What about Burn's?"
"We're unable to tell for sure what her crystal would do since we don't have one. However… Since her heart has some darkness in it… it would probably feel a bit more… aggressive?" Tails wondered aloud.
"But we can't make judgements, Tails. Burn changed, remember?" Twilight said, and Tails sighed in understanding. "Yes, yes, I know." He said.
"I'm sorry, did we miss anything?" Styre asked from the balcony, looking over her shoulder at them. Larixis shushed her, but Styre shot him a glare.
"We have the right to know." She hissed, and Larixis stared at her for a long while before he backed down.
"No. You don't have the right to know. This is my mission, I'm going after them. After Bright. Alone." Dimmer hissed, but Styre flipped her purple mane out of her eyes before she spun around to face him.
(Yes, I had the main changelings have mane and normal eyes. I'll draw pictures of them on my deviantart)
"Um, correct me if I'm wrong... She started, her amethyst eyes gleaming. "But last time I checked, I'm one of your top guards. Same with Larixis. So not only do we insist we come with you, but if you refuse to bring some kind of protection, you are breaking the changeling code of law."
Dimmer stared at her, realizing she had a point. A very, very good point. A sly smirk spread across her muzzle. "Come find me when we leave." She said, snapping out her wings before she backflipped off of the balcony and flew away.
"... Damn it." Dimmer hissed. "King, can you just explain what's going on?" Larixis asked as he started walking towards Dimmer.
The young king didn't move, he just stood there, thinking. "King?" Larixis asked again as he stopped. Dimmer looked up at Larixis and sighed.
"Bright… Isn't dead." Dimmer said.
Larixis's eyes widened. "What?!" He exclaimed. "Then what happened to her? You told me and everyone else that she died!"
"I know it's a lot to take in…" Dimmer sighed as he walked towards Larixis, and stopped right in front of him. "But believe it or not, I trust you more than any other guard I have. Hell, You saved my life during that phoenix attack a while ago, and you took the consequence of that torn wing without even thinking about yourself."
"It was my job to protect you, I'm one of your top guards." Larixis said.
"I know, but you're one of the most loyal guards I have." Dimmer said. "And more importantly, I trust you, so I want you to come with me on my journey."
"Really? Thank you, king! But… I'll just slow you down, I can't fly." Larixis said, his ears drooping and he hung his head.
"But you are a fast runner, and you can even take the train if you need to, but you'll have to transform to do that." Dimmer replied.
"Yes, I know, otherwise the ponies that haven't accepted us will freak out and there will be a huge panic." Larixis sighed.
"Right." Dimmer said. "And I know Styre has that temperature-locater spell, so even If we leave without her, she'll come after us. So she'll have to tag along as well."
"... We should have one more guard, just in case." Larixis said.
"What's that? Just one more guard?~" Someone asked as Wyanaz appeared in the doorway. Dimmer's eyes narrowed and he growled at her.
"How much did you hear?" He snarled. "Oh, you know… everything." Wyanaz snickered. "You really should get better guards if you want your secrets protected."
Larixis looked shamefully at the ground.
Dimmer stepped forward. "I have great guards, and I respect them as much as they respect me. So why don't you turn around and leave before I-" "Before you what?" Wyanaz interrupted with a grin. She walked towards them and she started to circle around Dimmer again.
"Are you going to blast me with your magic? Call the guards? Kick me out of the kingdom?" Wyanaz asked smartly. "Oh wait, you can't, because no matter what you do, you'll still make an enemy out of me. And I know you don't want that."
Dimmer stood still, glaring at her, but Wyanaz seemed strangely calm and in control of this argument. "You. Cannot. Come. There's a huge difference between trust and threats. I don't trust you, so I want you to leave."
"... Hmm… Nope." Wyanaz said. "I'm coming, because you know you need me. I have protection magic, and concealers magic, oh! and don't forget about teleportation magic."
'Right… I forgot, she's the best magic-user in the kingdom… She could come in handy, but I wouldn't be able to control her if it gets out of hand.' Dimmer thought. 'Plus, I hate her.'
"Like Styre said before, come find me when we leave." Wyanaz said before she backed out of the room and left.
Everyone stood in silence before Tails let out a fake cough. "Well, um… She seemed interesting."
No reply.
"Okay… well, once you are ready, come to my castle in Ponyville, we recently discovered a map that can tell you where to find everything. You have a stronger connection with Bright, so if you try the location spell, it will probably work." Twilight said.
And with that, the alicorn and Tails walked over to the balcony and jumped out. Then they started to fly back to Ponyville, leaving Dimmer behind with his head full of thoughts.
TBG: So that was the chapter! :3
Bright: Dimmer is coming to find me... *gives a small smile*
Dimmer: Of course, I would never abandon Bright
Burn: ...
