I saw a bit.
"I wonder who lost this...
WHO CARES?!"
I chased the bit down a hill and some stairs,
I then stepped on a dead vegetable.
I continued following the bit, as it was pulled away by a string,
can't believe I fell for that...
I the see a woman in front of me, pull up the bit.
"Hello... Tirek."
It was a large elderly centaur,
my...Mother.
Celestia spits out a drink.
"WH-...
YOU AND SCORPAN'S MOTHER?!"
Tirek laughs "Hahaha, no..
Just mine."
Luna tilts her head.
"But... you and Scorpan were brother's..right?"
Tirek shrugs "Eeehh,
kinda like adopted brother's...
Well you see, my GradDad had two wives, the first one was a centaur had me,
and the second one was a manticore queen from another kingdom, who had already had a son, named Scorpan.
But that wasn't the Scorpan you know, that was his dad.
My Dad's name was also Tirek, me and Scorpan were both named after our father's...
And then Scorpan's parents mysteriously died, so my parents adopted him.
So he's like my step-cousin, turned adopted brother."
Cadence facepalms "Why must everything be so complicated with you?..
Now get to the part where you tell us how your kingdom... or Scorpan's kingdom...
had connections to Discord and Enigma!"
Tirek sticks his tongue out.
"I'M GETTING TO THAT!
Well you see...
Let's just say My Mom wasn't 'Mom of the year' ...ever.
She happened to be a...major scam artist.
And only married my Dad for his position as King, she was ACTUALLY in love with someone else.
My Dad found out the truth about her affair with this guy, so they had the guy executed, and my Mom banished from the kigdom."
Gold Lily scoffs "Well THAT'S hardly fair.
I mean if anything SHE was the one who deserved the worse punishment."
Tirek nods "Well...technically yes,
but she was a royal, and for a royal to execute a royal is treason,
and she did this WHILE royal.
My country's laws require a REASON for execution,
however a royal has the ability to banish anyone they want, for whatever reason.
So they just waited out the divorce finalization, and then banished her."
Sterling groans "HOW MUCH LONGER MUST WE TALK ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE?!
WHEN DO WE GET TO THE PART WHERE YOU KNEW ENIGMA AND DISCORD?!
OR WHEN YOU DECIDE TO ATTACK EQUESTRIA FOR THAT MATTER!"
Tirek scoffs "LOOK,
You wanna know my story, let me tell it MY way."
Celestia groans "Look, I do want to know about it...
But I am USED to SLEEPING at night.
And i've had a paticurally rough day."
All of the other's nod, except Luna.
Luna smiles "I'LL LISTEN.
Besides, i'm gonna be SUPER bored if I don't talk to SOMEONE."
Tirek laughs "HAH, at least someone cares...
Now allow me to continue."
Lua nods, as the other's all go walk off into the distance, to go to sleep.
