Yup, that's right, been through a break because my hands were pretty much done from the writing. I've also seen Season 9's last episode and seems like I'll be making a fanfiction about what I saw after 12 October. But don't worry, I'll also be completing Twilight and Flash after this one.
Chapter Eight – The Mysterious Alicorn
"I thought he was keeping it a secret from everypony." said Skywing.
"When he saw that I'm the same as you, he told it right ahead." said Pasta.
"Same?" said Skywing, Pasta opened his wings and lit up his horn. "Hold on."
She went closer to Pasta and just as he was about to touch his horn, he flew up and shot a harmless beam.
"No need to examine, Sky." said Pasta. "Or I think I should rather say Princess Sky."
"No, you can call me Sky." said Skywing.
"I think the "wing" at the end of your name is a whole tradition for your family." said Pasta.
"My mom told me that before she left me here and went to war with my dad." said Skywing.
"Let's sit down here and have a little chit chat, shall we?" said Pasta.
"Sure." said Skywing.
"Earlier today, the ponies who raised me into what I am like right now, were killed by a general." said Pasta.
Skywing gasped and said "That must've been terrible for you."
"I had to kill the general, he killed my actual parents while I had only been with them for a day." said Pasta. "This is the only thing I managed to recover."
He handed over the picture of him and Teal back when he was only a month old to Skywing.
"You look so.. little in this photo, when was this taken?" asked Skywing.
"Precisely twenty years ago." said Pasta. I was a month worth of age.
"Who's this light blue mare sitting next to you?" asked Skywing.
"She isn't a light blue mare, she has the colour of what I call "Teal", a darker shade of light blue, and you know something?" said Pasta. "Teal is also her name. She raised me for my twenty years of life, alongside with her brother, Stab who turned out to not be her brother."
"Gee, I could've been friends with her." said Skywing. "She looks like a really nice pony."
"She was the best one I truly ever knew in my entire life." said Pasta.
"Well, I gotta give it to you, Pasta." said Skywing. "This one question, was your life difficult?"
"Of course it was." said Pasta. "Do you want to know how strong I am?"
"Okay." said Skywing.
"Good then." said Pasta, he showed the big muscles of his hooves, Skywing just stared at them.
"You've got to be kidding me." said Skywing. "How are you so strong?"
"I'm stronger than almost anypony out there, it's all thanks to Stab who died along with Teal." said Pasta.
"Do you want to know what the Sky Castle is like?" asked Skywing.
"Sure." said Pasta.
"Well, you can't." said Skywing. "Because I don't even know what it looks like. I never saw a glance of it."
"What, how?" asked Pasta.
"Because, my parents immediately took me here." said Skywing.
"Why though, why would your parents want to leave you?" asked Pasta.
"The stallion who's looking after me, Reisk, he is a good friend of both my mom and dad." said Skywing. "He told me that my parents were in war and that they gave me to him and continued to fight in the war."
"Do you want to know something?" asked Pasta.
"What is it?" asked Skywing.
"The last operation of the war, Reisk told you was a success thanks to your parents." said Pasta.
"Really?" said Skywing, getting happy. "That means my parents are finally coming home!"
"But, about that..." said Pasta.
"About what?" said Skywing.
"The pegasi and unicorn are still attacking each other, the pegasi want the land as well." said Pasta. "Your parents aren't coming home."
"Are you—" Skywing just looked at Pasta. Then she put her hooves on her face and started crying.
"Shh." said Pasta. "Don't worry, your parents will make it, I'm certain they will." said Pasta.
But Skywing was still crying.
"You should go." said Skywing.
Pasta got up and walked to the door, and then he opened it, got out and closed it again, he went downstairs, where Reisk and his son were eating some cold meat. He went near them, they didn't see him.
"Hey." said Pasta. "You guys got a little more of that?"
"What did you tell Skywing?" asked Reisk immediately.
"I told her that her parents were coming home soon but she didn't believe me." said Pasta, knowing he was lying.
"Well then, we have got lots of meat, I hunted lots of cows with my son." said Reisk.
"Where do you have them?" asked Pasta.
"In the fridge." said Reisk. "First, we cooked them and then we froze them."
"So you're eating cold meat right now?" said Pasta.
"Yup, get some from there and enjoy." said Reisk.
"Thanks" said Pasta. He opened the fridge door and looked at the huge pile of beef, he took some of it and sat down in the dining table, starting to put the cold beef in his mouth and eating it. He was very hungry and was glad Reisk allowed him to eat.
"Where are you going to sleep tonight?" asked Reisk.
"On the couch." said Pasta.
"On the couch?" said Reisk.
"I can sleep anywhere, it won't matter." said Pasta.
"If you say so, then alright." said Reisk.
"Great." thought Pasta. "Now, I won't have to sleep outside and freeze."
He finished the last piece of his chunk of cold beef and got down from his seat, walking up towards the couch.
"I'm highly tired." thought Pasta. "I should get some sleep right now."
He went on the couch and put his head on one of the pillows, he closed his eyes and soon, fell asleep.
IN THE NEXT DAY
Pasta slowly opened his eyes, seeing that the raining hadn't stopped yet.
"How is it still raining?" thought Pasta. "This must be one rain that never ends."
He got up from the couch and began walking to the stairs and slowly going up them, he walked towards Skywing's door and slowly opened it. A sleeping Skywing was inside, and she was snoring loudly.
"Guess crying affected her nose and throat." thought Pasta. He walked to the seat near her bed and sat down, he looked out the window, waiting for Skywing to wake up. "I feel bad for her."
She slowly moved around and then rubbed her eyes, she opened them to see Pasta nearside her. She looked up and rubbed her eyes again.
"Pasta?" said Skywing with a low voice. "Is that you?"
"Hey, you're awake." said Pasta. "I was waiting. I think you cried too much last time that you were affected, you were snoring a lot when I came in."
"I was snoring?" said Skywing. "I can't talk."
"Don't worry, that should slowly pass soon, you should drink some hot water." said Pasta.
"Is that rain?" asked Skywing, looking out of her window with a confused face.
"Yeah, it hasn't ended yet." said Pasta.
"It's just weird." said Skywing.
The doorbell rang right after Skywing finished her sentence, Pasta and Skywing rushed down the stairs and looked out the window. Reisk also came in with his son.
"What's happening here?" said Reisk. "You two are awake?"
"We heard the bell ring." said Pasta. "There is a mailpony outside."
"Shall we open it, father?" asked Reisk's son.
"Alright then." said Reisk.
Pasta rolled the doorknob and opened the door, a mailpony handed over a small envelope over to him and said "Deliever this to somepony called Skywing if you can."
"I can do anything." said Pasta, he got the envelope and closed the door, he gave the envelope to Skywing. "It's for you as that stallion said."
Skywing opened the envelope and found a little piece of paper inside it.
"Your parents have died in an explosion during war." Skywing highered her voice and read the short sentence out loud. After she did, she dropped the envelope and paper, started crying while going to her room.
"Skywing!" said Reisk rushing after her, she closed the door on him and immediately locked it.
"You mean Fiercewing and Cloudwing are dead, father?" said his son.
"I think so, son." said Reisk.
"I'm going to talk to her." said Pasta.
"No, please, she is emotional sometimes, you just have to wait." said Reisk.
"Please!" said Pasta.
"She locked the door, how will you open it?" asked Reisk.
"I can break it down." said Pasta.
"Fine." said Reisk and stepped back away from the door. Pasta walked far back and then ran towards the door quickly, when he got close enough, he put his hooves on his face and smashed the door.
Skywing was crying with her pillow on her face. Pasta walked near her.
"Hey, hey." said Pasta. "Look at me."
Skywing stopped crying and lowered the pillow off of her face, Pasta was looking at her.
"I've been through the same as you." said Pasta. "I know your heart is broken but so is mine. And it happened to me twice."
"It's not the sa..me." said Skywing, still crying. "The..y wer—"
"It is the same." said Pasta. "Whatever you're going through right now, just know that I'll be by your side."
"You shou..ld leav..e." said Skywing.
"I'm not leaving, I'm staying with you." said Pasta.
"Please leave." said Skywing.
"Skywing, come on." said Pasta.
"Leave." said Skywing.
"I'll be by your side no matter what." said Pasta.
Skywing said nothing, she put her pillow on her face and continued to cry.
And in the next chapter, it's time to dig deeper in those news.
