"I think ? hehe." He replied unsure if it was truly that or not. He didn't really had total knowledge of every word he said he simple liked to speak in fancy manner from what he heard over in canterlot and the palace.

 

He stared into Sombers eyes. "As for you question little one i am afraid the answer is no thought I have read books in Canterlot library of strange magic capable of bringing the dead back to life. It isn't easy  to find them and it is said to come at a high price  but hey one day maybe we will march to the unknown and find them, then use them to bring our parent back. The book may very well been a fairytale but fairytales are nothing more than exaggerated truths." Lionheart said his voice showing passion and intrigue talking in a manner that made it sound more believable than it should be.

 

"In my quest to rid the world of evil I may very well pass through such places and hey you are welcome to come with me if you are ready." He added to finish this speech of his.

Chamois shrugged at Somber.  Then Lionel began another of his speeches.  He had a thing for them, apparently.  After he had finished speaking, Chamois answered Somber's question.

"I don't know for sure if they will be Somber.  Some ponies believe that we go to another place after we die, heaven or the...the other place," Chamois said, pointing at the floor.  "And some ponies believe we will be incarnated.  Others believe that we'll just be gone.  Maybe we'll even get a choice of whether or not we want to go back and be incarnated or go to heaven.  But I do not believe or not believe in any of them because I know very little about death and neither does anyone us.  We'll only know when it happens,' she said.

She blinked then.  She looked at Lionel.  "Look what you did to me.  Now I'm talking nonsense," she whined.

Sunset tilted her head and stared at the green fire. A Changeling?

Somber really didn't need speeches... He was still trying to overcome the word incarnation, for Celestia's sake. But, he still managed to listen in more to the thought of his parents dying and going to heaven or the fiery place down under than really about death.

 

He didn't really know whether to cry or be happy, so he just sat on the floor, confused as hell.

Shade was relived that sunset didn't know what changeling where. "Oh... That's good, well... Not exactly... I'm a type of pony that can change into other ponies with magic." Shade was surrounded with green fire and she changed to look like sunset. "I can look like you or any other pony of my choice." She changed back to herself and was panting. Even if she was a changeling, it took a big about of energy to change.

Chamois shook her head at him, wanting to look like she thought he was an idiot, but she ended up smirking.  His laughter was contagious too and she ended up giving a small laugh as well.

Though, she'd never admit it.  Not even to herself.  But yes, he was right.  He may have been a bit charming.

She turned back to Somber.  "Yeah just...don't...don't worry so much about it..." she said, searching in her mind for something better to say.  "Your...er...parents wouldn't want you...to...worry...probably..."

That's when Somber started to look more depressed than his usual demeanor showed. Just the thought about his parents being brought back up into the subject caused his head to droop down, making his backlegs curl up into his face. He was trying his best to not cry...

Somber was trying his best not to cry and Lionheart  could see it. Things wre going downhill fast and his mind started racing for ideas to lift the kids mood his plans failed most of the time but he had to do what he had to do.

 

He stopped laughing and his face turned serious. He walked a bit closer to Somber and  patted his head. "Listen to me. What has happened, happened. As we are now we can neither change nor go  to the past.  We cannot fix what already happened but we have something else something stronger. Life. Now  I am not going ask you to not be sad, it is natural to be sad, I am sad and I bet everyone in here is just as sad and miserably but would you let that hinder you for your whole life ?  You need to live  and not only for you but for them as well.  You need to put your mind into something and make it happen to make both yourself and your parent proud. For example I decided I will be one of the greatest detectives Equestria has ever  known and I will catch those that robbed them away but in order to do that I knew from the get go that I  couldn't stay depressed.  I don't think it is easy I mean I am still at early stages and I think I am doing pretty damn good hehe  but still it mustn't be easy but you need to live your life for all of you.So be happy, they would want you to be happy, they would be even more devasted than you if they watched you like that from whever the dead go. The last thing you owe them is to live your life at your fullest and as happy as you and they will alwasy live on with you in here *he point at Somber chest and smiles*" He finished  yet another long speech that he grasped to realise if it made sense  and everything connected properly, it probably didn't but he could care less about it.

 

He walked a bit back pulling his hair back with his right hoof  and then letting it fall back front and turning to Chamois. "Heh I made you laugh. I would consider that a mission accomplice. It quite suits you more than the gloomy way." He said to her.  "Anyway I am off to search this whole place I think I saw a map in the entrance hall*He puts his hoof on his forhead and waves it out as a goodbye* see ya later" And with that he walked out of the Mess hall to the entrance hall.

(Yet anotehr speech XD He sure does love them )

Snset's eyes widened a bit as she saw Shade change into...herself? She had replicated her perfectly! The scars, the voice, the long mane with the longer forelocks that always covered one eye... Amazing.

"W... wow. Um.... But, how do you d-do that without a horn? It looks like magic. Is it just part of being a changeling?"

[Lost Profile 644]

@,

 

shade brushed her mane and made her curved changeling horn appear. "i have a horn, but only in my changeling forum, i dont really like being in my changeling forum. i prefer to stay as a pegasus." she explained, she then made her horn disappear and then shook her head.

Chamois nodded at him as he disappeared from the cafeteria but she was thinking about his speech.

Just that quickly, she stood up from her seat, the bench getting pushed back and scraping against the floor loudly.  "Yeah, Somber.  He's...uhm...right," she said.  Then she turned and walked hastily out of the cafeteria.

When she got out of it, she trotted down the hall.  And she kept going and going, turning corners, going down empty halls, until she reached the storage closet no pony ever seemed to go into.  She pushed the door open and went in, closing and locking it behind her before she lowered herself down onto a box.

Somber had watched Chamois walk off, but he had no idea where. For some reason, he was just so confused on everything that had just happened... He was holding his head in his hooves, groaning a little. Then he looked back up, getting to his hooves, and walking back towards his seat, seeing that he hadn't even finished half of his toast yet... So, he continued to eat his toast slowly, but if someone were to look at him, of course they would see a small, black colt, who seemed that he would cry at any moment, sadly eat a piece of horribly-made toast. Then again... he always looked like that.

And as soon as he reached the main hall Vine rushed past him and into the corridors. Tilting his head in wonder he followed behind her. She finally reached a door entered and locked behind her. He scratched his head as he walked closer to the door and knocked.

 

"Ehm ? Is everything alright ? That seemed quite sudden." He said as he knocked softly. He tried to open it but it was to no avail. He could turn the  key from the inside with his magic but he felt it was too rude to do so. "Can I help with anything ? " He asked worringly.

Chamois Vine took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.  It was really times like this where she wished she had never left her doll on the floor after that stupid worker mare pony tore it's head off.  Perhaps she could have fixed it.

She didn't like to think of things that happened in the past, but when she ended up thinking about it anyway, she'd come to this room.

He might have been right.  His speech.  Why shouldn't she try and be happy?  Why does she have to push every pony away?  She should live life to the fullest, like he said.  But he said to do it for her parents.

Her parents.  Who abandoned her.

Why should she---

Her head shot up as some pony knocked on the door and spoke to her.  It sounded like Lionel.

She realized she had tears in her eyes, then.  She quickly brushed them away, annoyed and upset that she had been found out.  She'd have to find a new hiding place.  Too bad, she sort of liked this room.  It was memories.

"Go away!" Chamois called out.  She realized that it may sound a bit suspicious, that he'd know she was upset.  But she didn't know what to say to make it seem like she wasn't.  She had trotted into a storage closet and locked the door behind.  Come on.

Mystical Flow placed her cup of coffee and plate of food down onto Sombra's table, seeming to just suddenly appear.  She smiled down at him.

"Hello, Somber.  Sitting alone?  Would you mind company?"

So your Changeling form is like an a-alicorn?" Sunset was getting more and more confused, yet amazed. She thought of how her friend had transformed into a mirror image of her, right down to the deep slits that marred her body. She thought of how often she wished she could disappear or look like somepony else.

"I think that's kinda cool... I mean, i-if you don't want to be talked to o-or seen as yourself, which I usually don't...-" She stared down at her scarred hooves, the attack playing through her mind.. "- th-then it could be nice to change into s-somepony else, at least for a while..."

He paused for a second to gather his thought  before continuing. "Isolation only leads to greater sadness, It better to to just let it all out. For your own well being. I mean how BAD can this place really be. There ought to be some interesting stuff or secret lurking around. I mean I get you... kind of I  prefer to hide sadness myself but because I prefer to be happy than grumpy."  He finished sighting.

Somber looked up from his toast, seeing that Mystical was there, sitting in front of him. He gulped down the small piece of toast that he had in his mouth, and opened his mouth to speak.

 

"M-Miss Tickle? W-What's... re... rein... uh..." HE had to clese his eyes and scrunch up his face to even try to remember the word. Since he was all alone in a room with an adult, he might as well get a answer from her. "...reincarnation?"

"Well... Ya... Kind of like an alicorn." She said even tho she didn't think of herself as an alicorn in her changeling forum. She thought she looked like a monster in her changeling forum. And with all the rejections she's had, she dosnt like to be thought rejected as a monster, she wanted to be looked at as a normal pony. But it's hard when you have cravings for love.

As sunset talked about how wonderful it must be to have the ability to change, "it's not that simple and it's not that great." She said.

Oh Celestia, another one of his speeches, Chamois thought, making a face at the door.  She curled up on the box as he went on.  But like before, his speech did seem to ring true.  Perhaps she should let him into the room at least.

I mean, it was obvious that she was upset.  It would be worse later on if she didn't.  And she couldn't really run away from him in this place.

But then again...

"If you can get the door open yourself," she called, thinking that he couldn't.

Mystical Flow frowned and sat down across from him.  "Reincarnation?  Why Somber, where did you get a word like that?" she asked.  But then she shrugged a shoulder.  She might as well tell him though.  It was only a word and if he wanted to know then he deserved to.  "Its when a soul of a pony begins a new life as a new pony," she said.  "After the pony passes on though," she added, watching him carefully.

"But even if something 'cool' happens, it'll end.  And then it's replaced by the dark again," she said quietly, but loud enough that he might be able to hear her.

"What?" Chamois said as he began talking about fires and illumination or something like that.  Well, that's what she said anyway, but she knew exactly what he was going on about.  It was similar to what she'd been told by Mystical Flow once, but with more creativeness.  More flair.

And as an artist herself - or at least that's what she called herself - she did appreciate it when ponies had that 'flair' when they spoke.  Even if she didn't want to believe in what they were saying.
