private A personal letter for the one I have wronged 1x1 RP with Illiad Easle

@@Yoshikupo,

 

Selena went over to inspect the dresser, "Yes, she sheets, how the bed was always made with hospital corners like it had never been slept in." There was no key on the dresser unfortunately. However, it could be seen in the dust outline where the box once rested the outline of a key. "The key was here after the box left, but it hasn't been here for some time." Only then did she actually look around the room, attempting to remember anything, but all she remembered was that she hardly used it, it was mostly to keep up appearances that she was normal. Normal ponies slept.

 

The thestral was torn between chasing the panicking mare up the stairs, aiding the pony tied up that looked like Suspect 2, I don't know what to think at this point. And guarding the door. The door was most important as it didn't really matter where they ran so long as they did not exit the building. They would all be spellbroken before they could leave that was for sure. What is taking those spellbreakers so long?

 

"All right, just remain calm. I'll do my best to get you healed, I just need you to stay awake so your concussion can't do any more damage alright? keep talking, tell me everything that happened the day you met this mare."

"crap, do you think it fell under it? that's how I lost my house key one time" he said moving the dresser over, well trying anyway "I was built to fly, not go push this stuff" he said still trying to push it.

 

About to reach the top she thought panting up the stairs to floor seven, ah the final room, lets do this...its locked, magicaly locked, thank Celestia I learned these spells for my stories, why is this so protected? I got this though, she thought as she used a powerful lock breaking spell completely breaking the seal. She entered the apartment and looked around seeing two sets of rooms and goes to the way Jade and Selena are not and starts rapidly searching rooms making quite a bit of noise until she got to what looked like a parents bedroom.

 

"she talked to me for a while finding out I was friends with Jade, how I really like Luna, what the potions I sell are...my potions she stole my potions, tons of them! anyway she knocked me out after that and I don't know what happened after that" she said hoping it would help

"I don't know, it looks like it was picked up, not slid or pushed off. It could have been moved somewhere when I moved out."

Selena felt the magic discharge of the front door lock being broken, then the repeated open/close of doors at the other end of the house. She turned to face Jade.

"Someone is in the house, someone that shouldn't be as they burst the door lock."

She hardened, readying retribution.

"You can keep looking if you want, I am going to investigate who did this."

She then proceeded the other way, following the trail of open doors.

Don't panic, I am on my way over now.

You felt the door lock break?

Indeed, a subspell was set to alert me if the lock spell was tampered with. I will be there in a few minutes, when I have my teleport charged.

 

The two spellbreakers finally arrived, and began establishing a quarantine to keep the scanned ponies away from the unscanned ponies. They started with the mare that had been tied up, revealing her to not be Suspect 2. The thestral then facehoofed. "Suspect 2 must have gone up the stairs, but she could look like anypony now."

One of the spellbreakers came over to the thestral. "Sir? we just got word that a special spellbreaker will be teleporting in from Canterlot, that should help speed things up."

The thestral went silent, knowing exactly who the special spellbreaker was. he turned to the guards assembling outside the doors. "I need two of you to go secure the VIPs on the top floor now."

 

The medic was only half listening to Bright's story, he was more focused on ensureing that she wouldn't have any lasting brain damage. "Alright, just stay awake for a few more minutes and we'll be done," He continued his healing spell.

"I'm right behind you" he said following Selena to the open doors that lead to a mare, a mare that looked at them with a look of shock "son of a bitch! of course this has to happen!" she yelled levitating the objects in the room ready to use them as she saw fit "one, dame, move" Jade stared at the mare "what in the world are you doing in Selena's home!" he yelled at the mare when he saw a twinkle, under the levitated bed, Jade tried to focus on it which got the mares glance to move toward the bed for a second bringing in a key "this must be important, are you looking for it?" she asked as she heard a hoof step, like an army "I swear to Celestia if I get caught, your life's will become hell" a bountiful amount of spells came to mind, some would be aggressive turn and some would be a decisive plan but she settled on a very good one "you know what problem diamonds have? they can cut them selves" she used her best levitation on Selena while drinking another potion. "now if you do what I say she will be safe, let me teleport away with her and I won't kill her, with herself" Jade was stunned by what this crazy mare said and turned to the restricted Selena then to the mare in front of him "I..." he was speechless "time is ticking" she was preparing the spell to go to a little place she found in Topaz's memories

To be perfectly honest she found the whole situation rather amusing, she giggled a bit, then turned to face the mare directly.

"Retribution."

Immediately Selena had the ability to float the other mare with as much force as she was being levitated by, but she didn't want to tip her hoof just yet, keep the ability a secret for now.

Taunts came to her mind, but she didn't want to provoke the mare into hurting Jade instead, instead she changed her view, going instead silent as if the actual implications of what was happening hit her.

 

Then two things happened, there was a loud bang as the front doors burst open again, as two LTF(Lunar Task Force) guards and a thestral entered the floor, There was also a bright flash from the center room as the special spellbreaker arrived.

 

"If you are going to leave I'd do it quickly, It appears as though you wont have much time before you're caught."

 

The thestral felt the teleport discharge and immediately moved up the tower, arriving in the entryway at the same time as the guards he sent up previously. He bowed before his commander.

Selena fell lightly to the floor, slightly disappointed that she wasn't taken. That would have been quite the story arc.

She turned to Jade as she dispelled retribution. "Because I and my siblings occasionally stay here. My mother generally wants us to be secure. Speaking of which she should be in the center room now, follow me." She turned to the guards as she walked by. "Unfortunately you're too late to catch her, but you did save me from being taken, I'll put in a good word with Mother for you." She entered the center room to be hug tackled by none other than Princess Luna, her mother.

 

The thestral got up from his bow, lifting his amulet he ended the quarantine, the suspect had escaped, and the teleport would be traced once the spellbreakers got up the stairs. He was surprised when the princess leapt to hug her daughter, but he didn't say anything, if asked he would deny it ever happened. He turned and left them to themselves. proceeding back down the staris to explain the situation to the spellbreakers, then got ready to head out, once the teleport had been traced they would need to track down that unicorn. Nopony attacks the princess' daughter and gets away with it.

 

Luna was quite happy to see that her daughter was unharmed, so much so that she didn't say anything, she just held her for a time, like she had been unable to. tears came to her eyes as she cherished the moment.

"wait...your mom is Luna? that explains, so much" Jade said still trying to get his head around this all "why couldn't you have told me that before? was it supposed to be some sort of secret? did you not tell me because you thought I couldn't take it? could you give me a specific reason?" he wanted to get all his questions out right then and there

 

"-t having this key!" she shouted in a almost empty room in an abandon building "oh...I'm here, what does this key even...what, the, hell" she looked at it with wide eyes seeing a magic in it, a magic that cant be duplicated from how complex the spell was. what does this even open? she thought then remembered that the guards are coming for her, She left the building soon after trying to wrap her head around what the key went to and what disguise she should use now and got an idea of a new pony. "I swear that as long as those two shall live, I will make there lives hell, well as long as there alive"

"He talks too much, Is he like this all the time?"

"No, this is new for him. It is so good to see you again."

"Likewise."

Selena emerged from the hug, and turned to face Jade.

"If anyone knew that I was the daughter of Princess Luna then I would get all the wrong kinds of attention, and since I wanted to live a normal life I chose to live in anonymity, that way ponies wouldn't try to kiss up to me to get in good with mother."

Her head dipped a bit, "I was afraid that if you knew who I was related to you would be just like the other shallow ponies, ether want me for the social standing or flee from the responsibility that you will never outlive your mother in law."

Luna took this opportunity to step in. "Similarly, few ponies outside of my sister and my task force know that Selena is my daughter. If ponies knew it would just cause all sorts of trouble. Ponies would ask questions like who the father was, why she isn't an alicorn, and if she would be a princess, to take the throne after me. It was simpler to let her live a life of anonymity even if it meant I couldn't see her very often these past decades."

Luna moved closer to Selena to nuzzle her.

"Eventually she will be ready to step into the public eye, but for now she will continue to live a normal life. Well, as normal as it can be now. You two have quite the adventure ahead, but where it will lead I can only guess. Do be careful."

Luna moved closer to Jade, "Well, seeing as you know now one of the biggest secrets the crown has, I suppose we can answer some questions you might have about my little moon diamond."

 

The thestral was understandably upset that Suspect 2 had gotten away, he decided that he had gone long enough without sleep so he returned to the guard station to rest, he would pick the case back up in the morning.

"This runs you into another of the biggest secrets of the crown. Understand that if you repeat this to anyone, not only will it be denied, you will be disappeared. Long ago, back before I was banished to the moon, my sister and I were entrusted with artifacts of great power. My sister received the six elements of harmony, and I received the four gems of balance. Neither set could be wielded by a single pony, so we each formed groups to use the artifacts. She became the element of Magic with her 5 followers, and I became the balance of good and evil or Karma, with my 3 followers. As the balance of karma I was forced to cause a great evil to occur to preserve the balance of the land, but I simply could not bring myself to do it. So I split my soul, preserving the best parts of me and my memories within the gem, a diamond, and became nightmare moon. When I was banished the remaining followers of balance copied their minds into their gems, and sent them off to rescue me from the moon. making the four stars that aided in my escape. When I returned my sister's new group used the elements against me, restoring the part of my soul that had been removed thus making it impossible for the part of my in the gem to return. Over the thousand years it traveled, it formed sentience, becoming like me, but not quite as it was influenced by the other gems as it traveled. Thus it became the Selena you see before you. When she returned I helped her to have a body so she could experience a life outside of my memories. Mist was the balance of weather, the first equestrian weather coordinator, and now a liquid sapphire. Star was the balance of wisdom and strength, one of the greatest mages to ever live, and now a wisdom gem. Pharma was the balance of sickness and health, a budding scientist who discovered much of the medicine we use today, he has a body much like Selena's"

Luna shook her head a bit, "Sorry, that was a bit of a ramble, did that answer your question?"

Selena stepped in, "I say mother in law because if I were to get married then Luna would be their mother in law, and many of the sincere ponies don't want to be royalty, it really makes you stand out when you marry the daughter of a princess. That, plus the fact that I will likely outlive everypony I have ever met, including Luna, is why I only have friends so far and not anypony special, yet."

I mean, I didn't have the guards arrest you when I met you, I have no intention of having your family arrested because that would hurt you."

As it was just starting she had great control over the situation, so she simply left a note, assured that Jade would read it and remember it. It read: Jade, I know what you did to hurt Selena, I know what is in the box, and I think you know what will happen if you hurt her again. I will know. This is the reason many ponies don't want me for a mother in law, I see what you think at night. -Luna.

Luna hoped that it would scare Jade enough to never hurt her daughter again, but hoped it wouldn't scare him enough to keep him away. Despite his flaws he had been an adventurous influence on her daughter. Luna went over to Selena and enveloped her in a hug.

"Do come join us Jade, I'm interested to learn more about you, and I am sure you must have more questions."

"We were also about to discus how to go about finding the key that awful mare took. If she's still in the city I can have the weather teams keep an eye out for her, but if she leaves then I'm not too useful."

"Similarly my reach is limited to dreams, I would have to know her internal image if I wished to find her. So until we know what she actually looks like all I can do is have the guard continue searching for suspicious activity. IT's hard to conduct a search when she can change forms with less fanfare than a changeling. That gives me an idea, we'll have changelings looking about to see which ponies have been using transformation magic and tag them, that way we can narrow down the search a bit."

"It will take a while to scan the city though and we can't exactly do a quarantine for the key. What do you think Jade? got any ideas as to how we catch this Mare?
