Note: What's up every pony? Last part of The Revelations! There's one more thing Leon doesn't know about his past, and he demands to learn it. But will he regret it, and will he ever look at any pony the same way ever again? Find out right now! Also, will be updating Spiritual Setback on Friday, as well as upload a new story (no details yet). Without further interruption, here's The Revelations, Part 3!

"Leon… you aren't… you're not…" she could not finish.

"WHAT!? I'M NOT WHAT!?" Leon yelled out, demanding for her to tell him.

"I just can't tell you! Leon, it's better that you forget about this and go up to your room."

"If it was better that I forget, than we wouldn't be having this discussion! WHAT AM I NOT!?" Leon demanded. "If you don't tell me right now, I'm leaving the house right now, and I won't be back! WHAT IS IT!?"

"You're… you're not our son," she told him miserably. "You were an orphan when we found you."

Leon stared in shock at what his mother just said. He could not think clearly, he lost all focus, and disbelief flooded him like a dam that broke inside him. No... No…An orphan? So my entire life, all of it, was a lie? Words could not express the misery and anguish that he felt inside him. It was too much. He stood up from the couch and galloped to his room, locking the door behind him. Tears flowed from his eyes, and he lay on his bed.

Draco had been present during the entire revelation, and he could not stop feeling sorry for Leon. He could not find words to cheer him up. Draco went to the closet, retrieved a double saddlebag, and started placing Leon's belongings in it. He placed the amulet, all the bits Leon had, and the letter from Derpy into the saddlebag. He placed it next to Leon, and waited on his own bed.

Leon looked over to where Draco had placed the bag, and looked back at Draco. "Draco, could you write a note? I'm leaving right now, and I feel as though I need to tell them where I left to," Leon said miserably. Draco nodded in silence, and he grabbed a quill and paper from the closet.

"What do you want me to write?" Draco asked.

"Tell them this: If you want to know where I left to, I'm going with the only true family I have left. I know that you may have taken care of me when I was young, but to find out that I'm an orphan? I don't think any pony can handle that. I'm leaving Caelum Lux, and I will find the Spirits. I appreciate everything that you've done, and as you said, you prepared me for what I am to do in my life. If any of this seems ungrateful, then I'll find a way to repay you someday. Thank you." He had finished, and Draco had finished as well.

Leon took the note and left it on the bed. He placed on the saddlebag, put Draco on his back and readied himself to leave. He unlocked the door to his room quietly, and went back to his bedroom window. He placed on his goggles, readied his wings, and flew silently out from his room. He didn't know where he would live now, considering he had no family to turn to anymore. No. The only true family I have left is Draco, considering I hatched him. He's more like that annoying brother that you love and tolerate the shit out of, than like a son though. He looked over at Draco, and asked him what they should do. "Well, where do you think we should go, Draco?" asked Leon distantly.

Draco though very carefully on where they should head. "I think we should wait near the train station. Wait for the others to arrive," Draco suggested.

Leon nodded, and flew down to the station. I wonder how every pony here sees a pony sleeping at a train station as. He flew down under the roof, and lay on a bench. He laid quietly, tears in his eyes, and just thought about what he would do, where he would go, why he was here anymore. He couldn't think anymore, as his eyes slowly closed shut, and his mind eased.

…

Leon woke up in the Clover Ranch dreamscape. He stood at the station, exactly on the bench he was sleeping on. He got up, and went towards town. He came across Celestia's orb, but ignored her. I want nothing to do with her until I get to Canterlot. He had thought he'd known where he was going, but he realized that he was lost. Not in town, but in his mind. He could not think at all, and when he tried to, all he could remember was the miserable revelation. Finally, seeing no other option, he turned towards the orb of light and followed her. She led him to a small, isolated field just outside the city. She transformed once again to her regular form, and looked down at Leon with sympathy.

"I suppose you've already found out. And judging by where you woke up in here, you had left your home for good. It's a hard fact to accept, but know that for most of your life, they helped you in any way they could," she told him calmly.

"What good is it to know that when I was cast aside earlier in my life?" he asked with misery.

"You were never cast aside. Your true family was deceased, and that is why you were taken in by your guardians," she responded.

"Deceased… how did they die? Who was I before?" he questioned.

"I have yet to know how they passed, but you are who you always were. You are the Phoenix Bearer, who is to bring back the only solution to the tyrant. That's who you are, Leon. The question is, will you accept that fact, and know that they only tried to help you in your darkest hours?" she asked.

He bowed his head down in shame. She must be joking, right? I never knew about that fact, that's why I can't accept it. "Accept this? ACCEPT THIS!? How could you say that? You, of all ponies, ask me to accept this. How can I accept it when it was hidden from me for eighteen years? I lived a lie, that's what I can accept! I don't think I should go back to Canterlot. I hope the Amulet of Freedom can be found without me," he stated.

"No, Leon. You have been helping with finding the first two Spirits, and you are needed to find the remaining ones. You may not accept this now, but in time you will. It was hidden from you to prepare you for your journey," she responded.

"AND FUCK THIS JOURNEY TOO!" Leon yelled out. Celestia could not help but feel absolute shock at his statement. "This isn't my choice anymore! It's my duty, unfortunately. I had wanted to help out at the beginning, but now to be forced to? What if I end it right now? Could you find another Phoenix Bearer if I die?" he pleaded.

Celestia, shocked at his announcement, knew she had to do something quick. She calmed herself, and started talking soothingly. "Leon, if you end it now, you leave behind everything. Your friends, your dragon, your love, all left to mourn for you. Don't let the corruption of your amulet take over your mind."

Leon looked back at her as she said this. My friends? I… I couldn't do that. Chloe? I remember how she felt at Rapture, do I really want her depressed again? Draco. He… he's like my brother. I… I can't do that. What… what's happened to me? His mind cleared of negativity, and he thought much more calmly and clearly now. "I… I don't know what came over me. I'm sorry, Princess Celestia," Leon said shamefully.

"Leon, it's not your fault. You need to find the rest of the Amulets of Peace to control your own. Without proper control, the power you wield will corrupt your mind with darkness. That is why I advised you to use it only in emergencies. Do you understand what you must do now, Leon?" asked Celestia.

He bowed in respect to the princess. "Yes. I am ready for the trek. I am ready to go to Canterlot." She smiled at him, glad he had seen the light. She glowed brightly, and disappeared. Leon immediately headed towards Chloe's Animal Care. He went inside, and Chloe greeted him warmly. They kissed, and he wanted to tell her how lucky he was to know her, but was interrupted by a foal that came towards her. They nudged each other's heads, and the foal walked up to Leon. He appeared as though he wanted to tell Leon something.

Before he had a chance to say something, something pulled Leon away from the building and tugged him quickly back towards the train station. He crashed into the bench, and when he did, he suddenly woke up back at the station.

"Whoa! What was that about?" Leon asked himself. He looked around the station, seeing that the sun was just beginning to rise. He looked over to Draco, using one of the benches as a bed. That was a lot more than I expected. I guess today's the day we leave to Canterlot.

Note: Finally finished with this long chapter. What did you think? Next chapter will focus on their journey, and introduce a surprise guest on board the Pony Express. Hope to hear back from y'all!
