Family Reunion

"Eclipse? Eclipse… please Eclipse… wake up!" Eclipse slowly opened her eyes to see Angel hovering over her.

"Thank Goddish," he sighed. "Are you okay?"

Eclipse nodded as she cried to get up, but a sharp pain throughout her chest caused her to falter and slump back to the ground. Twilight walked over to Eclipse and Angel, reverting her colors to normal as she went. "You took quite a hit. You should stay there for a while."

Eclipse clutched at her chest, some of the fur singed by the energy blast. "Wha-… what happened?"

Angel sat down beside her, worried. "You don't remember?"

Twilight walked around Angel, studying Eclipse carefully. "Mum never seemed to, and you don't remember anything either…"

"Mum?" Angel looked at Twilight. "Who are you?"

Twilight glanced at Angel before looking back towards Eclipse and sighing, "I'm your sister, Angel."

Angel stared blankly. "I have… a sister?"

"Not just me," She replied. "You've also two other sisters and at least one other brother."

"What do you mean, 'at least'?"

"I'm not sure if the other exists."

"Uh, guys?" Eclipse interrupted. "I hate to interrupt this family reunion, but we have company."

Both Twilight and Angel turned towards the mouth of the cave, not sure what to expect. Sitting in the cave's entrance was a shimmering Eevee.

Sunset stared into the lake angrily. A scar was now emblazoned upon his face, from the slashing Eclipse had given him in their earlier battle. Every aspect of this scar burned with a hatred for them both: Angel and Eclipse. It was his destiny to destroy them, but this would be a battle like none other. It was going to be much harder than he had originally thought.

"Sunset…"

A chill ran down Sunset's spine, the foreteller of who stood behind him. It was the newest addition to the clan, a Frosteon. The Frosteon's icy aura sent a chill through even the most thick-skinned of creatures. Sunset replied to him without even looking back, "What is it, Hugo?"

The Frosteon stepped lightly, a small flurry of ice crystals drifting off of his stiff, aqua-blue fur as he slinked cautiously beside Sunset, the grass under his feet instantly crystallizing, but as his velvet paws touched the ground, it did not make the crunching noise that one would expect of something frozen; the padding of his paws absorbing all sound. He sat and shifted uneasily, nervous around the one Eon who could make or break his reputation in this pack. "Well," started Hugo, "can I ask what is going on? This pack has so many mysteries to its past, and well… as a member of the pack now, don't you think I should know?"

Sunset looked at Hugo sternly, his mind still on the anger he had of the scar… and of connections more personal. Hugo gulped uneasily, starting to rethink even coming. "Of course you should know," stated Sunset. "You need to know what you are fighting against."

"Angel," whispered Eclipse, "who is that?"

"I… I don't know," replied Angel in a tone similar to that of Eclipse's.

"Angel," sighed the Eevee as she began to trot in. "Thank Goddish you are okay." She stopped in front of him and glanced up, her eyes telling more truth about her age than her appearance. As he lowered his head to inspect her, curious as to how she knew him; the Eevee reached up and took his cheeks in her small, furry paws. "Your mother would surely turn in her grave if she knew I Iet my brother get hurt."

Angel glanced towards Twilight, who was smiling warmly. "Angel," she replied to his questioning look, "this is Gold, your adopted sister. She's not much younger than what mom would be, but she is too much of a child at heart and was adopted into our family shortly after I was born."

Gold grinned goofily at this remark and squeezed Angel's cheeks playfully, before turning to a more solemn gaze. "If Sunset had gotten his way," she motioned towards Eclipse, "you both would be no more…"
