The Isles of Nowhere | Rp (COMPLETED)

"Alright! Let's go then!!" Eclipsetess excitedly said, she stretched her wings before taking off as she was excited but she wait sometimes as Solstice would catch up to her since Eclipsetess was just mainly cruising upwards into the sky and into the clouds as well.

But when Eclipsetess met some clouds being jumbled together, she knew that it was the clouds that were gonna teleport her and Solstice into the Heavens, but as Eclipsetess flew into the clouds that's when she was met with three different gates like she said.

But as soon as Eclipsetess entered into the Heavens, a small-ish upside down mare greeted Eclipsetess and Solstice as well, the mare then flipped upright and landed down onto the ground, she was small, maybe even the height of Eclipsetess's knee points, but it didn't stop the small mare from introducing heself.

"I'm Mystic!! And welcome to the Heavens, but its fully revealed this time!" Mystic welcomed Eclipsetess and Solstice into the Heavens as she knew that the two mares weren't here for chit-chatter.

"Now do you two need anything? A visit to the Library which is sat atop a mountain of clouds?" Mystic asked the two mares, Eclipsetess immediately perked up and nodded at Mystic.

"Hm, wonderful! Though the gate is closed, but I can open for you two. I have the gate keys in my mane, I'll just grab them with my magic and we can go!" Mystic was excited, but she did use some kind of magic as the keys were floating out of Mystic's mane and floating next to her without a horn.

"How did you make your keys glow with magic?" Eclipsetess asked Mystic, Mystic giggled before she told Eclipsetess and Solstice that when some horses become god's, they have magic by default if they don't have a horn.

"Well lets go to the gate now." Mystic said, she flew off and Eclipsetess also took off to the front gate with Mystic, as the sky was just cloudy, I mean the Heavens are on top of clouds, so it made sense to have clouds on top to cover the sky.

     Solstice nodded as she glanced over at Orion and Nysa before she spread out her wings and took off quickly catching up with Eclipsetess. Had they ever really flown anywhere just the two of them before? Solstice wasn't sure, but it was nice spending time with Eclipsetess just the two of them. A little getaway. Solstice may have been a little nervous, but she tried not to be. The first and only time she had been there was when Faith took her to learn her magic in safety. 

     Though Solstice felt the soft clouds as they flew into them. It was a odd feeling, but also calming. Solstice smiled as they arrived to the Heavens as she took a look around. "Well it's lovely up here..this time I get to enjoy myself some.." she said working up a small laugh. "I remember arriving here and everyone would always look at me weird. Still not entirely sure why.." she giggled loosing focus for a second.

    Solstice then looked over as she noticed a rather small mare approaching them, but she was upside down. Solstice was curious about that, but she just gave a small nod and smiled, "It's nice to meet you Mystic. I'm Solstice." she said happy to meet this mare. Her small size didn't bother Solstice, but she nodded when Mystic mentioned the library. She looked at Eclipsetess before Solstice took off following the two, but she couldn't help but to look around.

     Though Solstice looked at the library when they arrived. It seemed to be quite large, and Solstice looked at Eclipsetess, "Where do we start looking for Nature's notes? They could be anywhere in here..if they are here.." Solstice said as she looked around the library again. "Guess we should start looking then.." she said to herself as she started looking around. Though Solstice seemed a bit distracted. Her parents were on her mind..

"Well if the library is alphabetized, then we should find Nature's notes in the N section pretty quickly." Eclipsetess told Solstice, Mystice seemed to have perked up by the organization of the books.

"Oh the N section, that aisle has 11-115 books, but I saw a god stash your friends notes in a blue book with golden stripes around the book, its title was "Notes", so it should be definately easy for you two." Mystic told the two mares, she was great for being helpful to Solstice and Eclipsetess.

Though Mystic opened the gate as Eclipsetess thanked her, and then Mystic looked at Solstice as she asked her to come with her to a different gate, Eclipsetess just smiled as she knew what Mystic was doing, and it would be very helpful to Solstice- in a way, but Eclipsetess flew up into the library.

Then Mystic opened the second gate that she was hovering at since she had the keys to it, but as soon as Mystic opened the second gate, the barrier to keep the angels hidden was disabled and all the angels that were curious looked at Mystic and Solstice.

"Go in there, it'll be okay, but you'll find them quick. Family always finds a way, but I can help if you want me too, I'm just suggesting to find them yourself." Mystice told Solstice, she opened the second gate, the Angel Realm, for Solstice to find her parents.

With Eclipsetess as she was quick to find the N section in the library and started looking as some god's here and there were putting books back and taking books out of its alphabetized shelf, but Eclipsetess just kept looking and eventually collected all blue books and had set them on the floor to look through them.

     "Well that makes it easier." Solstice said with a small laugh. Though she seemed slightly embarrassed and distracted. Well probably for a couple different reasons. Partly because of the reason she was in the Heavens the last time, but she tried her best to not think about that. It was the past after all and she had overcome it. "Orion would go crazy over so many books," Solstice said with a laugh or two. Though she loved Orion for who he was. Well if she didn't then Nysa wouldn't be in the picture.

     Though Solstice nodded, "Thanks for the help Mystic. Probably would have taken us hours if it weren't for your help." she smiled. Solstice had come such a long way. She used to be so shy around strangers, but she wasn't shy one bit when she met Mystic. Either way Nysa seemed to be like her mother more then Solstice thought she would be, but one day Nysa wouldn't be so shy.

     Solstice was a bit confused on why Mystic asked her to come with her. She just looked over at Eclipsetess, "Alright then...let me know if you find Nature's notes then Eclipsetess.." she said a bit unsure of what was going on. Maybe she started to get a bit nervous, but Solstice gave a small nod and started following Mystic. Though she paused and glanced back at Eclipsetess before she kept going.

     Solstice looked up noticing Mystic had took her to a second gate. She just looked at it until Mystic opened it and the angels appeared. Solstice didn't know what to think or even what to feel. She looked at all of the angels that were looking at her before she looked at Mystic, "B-but..h-how did you...?" Solstice just looked down a bit before she looked up again. She was hesitant..nervous..heck maybe she was even a bit scared. She knew very little about her parents. Though after a moment or two, Solstice took a deep breath and thanked Mystic before she slowly entered. 

     Solstice could feel the angels looking at her as it made her a bit nervous, but what made her the most nervous was that she was going to meet the parents she never met. Though eventually a mare and stallion came into view in the distance. The mare had a brown coat with numerous different shades making it seem like she was the color of cocoa. She had darker spots on her face and she seemed to be a blanket appaloosa. Though her mane and tail were different along with her horn. 

     Her mane and tail were long and wavy and was the color of turquoise, but it got lighter towards the end. The same went with her horn, but her horn was a spiral unlike Solstice's perfectly straight horn. Her eyes were hazeled colored. What was interesting about her was the turquoise vine like marking that ran up her front left leg. The stallion however was a darker bay then Namir. Stockier build then the mare and Namir. 

     The mare seemed to be getting onto the stallion though, "Kahlua you can't always be nipping my hide." she said in a soft yet firm tone as she nipped the larger stallion. He only huffed, but the two noticed others were whispering which confused them until they looked over. Solstice was standing there nervously with her head lowered some. The mare and stallion froze, "I-it..it can't be...can it..?" the mare said as the stallion was speechless. "...Solstice!" the mare said as she and soon Kahlua ran over to Solstice hugging her refusing to let go..

     Solstice was surprised as they ran over to her so quickly. She closed her eyes nervously, but then she slowly opened them once they realized they brought her into a hug. Solstice never felt anything like this before. Wasn't long before she teared up, "Mom...dad..." she said hit with so many emotions all at once. "I-i never thought I'd meet you...Namir..he took care of me..."

     Eventually Kahlua and Solstice's mom Azula stopped hugging their daughter so closely. Azula smiled as she seemed to be in tears as well..only they were happy tears. "He took good care of you....but it's pained me every day not being there for my daughter..you needed me and I wasn't there...I've watched you grow. I was there with you every second of every day...we both were...nothing broke our hearts more then watching what you went through..what he did to you." she said with hatred in her voice.

     Solstice just smiled still hit with numerous emotions, "I-it doesn't matter what happened...it's the past, and I was never alone during that time...that was then.." she said as she looked at them. Had she been dreaming? This couldn't be happening could it? It was hard for Solstice to speak. What was she supposed to say? They just went back into a hug as Azulia started to softly sing the song Namir sang when Eclipsetess and Slip were fighting the creature. "I wish you could meet your granddaughters right now..." Solstice eventually said, "Orion too.."

     Kahlua's eyes widened surprised asking if he had heard her right. Solstice smiled and nodded, "Eclipsetess my best friend..and guardian..her and Namir adopted a filly..Minette. Eclipsetess is here with me now, but she's in the library looking for something..then there's Nysa...my daughter.." she smiled softly. The three of them seemed to talk for what seemed like forever while always being as close to each other as they could be. Solstice was happy...she always dreamed of meeting her parents, but she never thought she would actually meet them. Solstice almost didn't want to leave, but she enjoyed the time until Eclipsetess found Nature's notes..if she had that is..

"Right over there!" a voice shouted, it was clearly Mystic as she and Eclipsetess were walking over, though Eclipsetess's horn was glowing, meaning she had found the book stashing the notes and was carrying them over to where Solstice was.

"Hm, thanks Mystic, can't really do anything without you here." Eclipsetess thanked Mystic, the small mare nodded and flew back over to the entrance of the gate, so that when Solstice and Eclipsetess leave then she could lock the gate.

Eclipsetess looked over at Solstice and continued walking over to her, Eclipsetess was smiling at Solstice's parents, but also because she had found the book with the notes inside, though Eclipsetess made the book vanish for right now, so that when the two mares get back then she can summon them.

"I see you found your parents, both of them look stunning, and that is no lie." Eclipsetess complimented both of Solstice's parents, she was very kind to do that.

"So when do you want to go back? I'm probably sure you still have catching up to do, so I won't bother you three, more likely just keep to myself for the time being." Eclipsetess asked Solstice, she seemed ready to go, but she wanted Solstice to be ready to go- since she did meet her parents after all.

"Oh and what are your parents names? I'm very curious to know." Eclipsetess asked Solstice one more question before going quiet, most likely she was gonna close her eyes before she left with Solstice, it is a very bright cloudy place after all, so you'd have to close your eyes at some point.

     Solstice seemed to loose track of time rather quickly. Just something inside her changed. A part of her still believed this was a dream, but either way everything was perfect. Though she couldn't help but to think about Namir. He just seemed different since that day on the beach. "Namir is lost sometimes without you...I can see it..." she sighed looking down, "I want to help him, but I can't.."

     Kahlua and Azura looked at each other as they lowered their ears some, "Our biggest mistake is leaving you two, but we didn't have much choice. We knew you were special the moment you were born. Plus how you and your mother weren't well. We only planned on being gone a few days, but..." Kahlua stopped as he looked down and sighed, "We're not even sure what happened..one moment we were in the woods and the next...we were here..."

     Solstice looked at her father before she looked down, "I know...I was lucky enough he took care of me...Phoenix is gone. No ones seen him for ages. Moon is safe. Everyone is. Moon even has a colt..." she said trying to look on the bright side of things. Though Solstice just stretched her wings some. Her parents just looked at them as Solstice smiled, "Had them since I met Eclipsetess.." she said before looking up.

     "Speaking of Eclipsetess..." Solstice said as she noticed her and Mystic coming over, "Looks like she found what we were looking for." she said glad that Eclipsetess found the notes. Hopefully they could find a connection or meaning between the foal's strange markings. Though Solstice just looked down some smiling, "Still can't tell if this is a dream or not honestly.." Her parents just laughed a bit agreeing with her.

     Though Azula smiled as she looked at Eclipsetess, "Well that was very kind of you...Eclipsetess then I presume?" she asked though Solstice just nodded. Azula looked at Solstice as she sighed, "As much as we'd love for you to stay, you belong down there. With your daughter. I'm sure you'll visit time to time.." she said nuzzling Solstice. What Moon and Namir said about her soft and gentle nature was all true. 

     Solstice nuzzled her mother in return as she nuzzled her father. Though Kahlua looked at Eclipsetess, "We appreciate you looking after our daughter and our son when we couldn't. It's a pleasure to meet you Eclipsetess." he had lowering his head in respect slightly, "Almost forgot to introduce ourselves, I'm Kahlua and this is my mate Azula." he said in a calm manner. Though Solstice looked down some.

     "I guess we really should get going...probably been awhile since we left.." she said looking at her parents. They all just hugged each other before they said their goodbyes. Solstice stood back up and stepped over to Eclipsetess, "Time to go then..I suppose. I'm sure Nysa and Minette are getting impatient. I know Nysa will be." she said working up a small smile before she started walking back to the entrance so they could head back home..

Eclipsetess also smiled again before trotting off next to Solstice, though when Eclipsetess and Solstice arrived at the gate, and it seemed like Mystic was asleep in the time being that they were there, but Eclipsetess woke Mystic up so that she could lock the two gates for everyone's safety.

Eclipsetess then trotted over to the spot where her and Solstice appeared from, though Mystic already locked the Angel Realm and even the library's gate so quick that she had time to chat with Eclipsetess and Solstice once more before the two left for good.

"It was fun while it last Mystic, and with Solstice knowing her parents now, she might come up here to get the feeling of the wind and even visit her parents." Eclipsetess told Mystic, it was fun for a good bit before it ended just like that.

"Well, for you, Solstice and everyone else you know, our gates are always unlocked for you two to come back again to visit and you should consider bringing a foal or two with excellent flying- they might get an example of their small foal schooling year before they officially turned into full fledged learning yearlings." Mystic told Eclipsetess, Eclipsetess smiled and even giggled as she could see the excitment on Minette's face when she would get here.

"Well we'll considerate, but we have to go now Mystic, it was really fun chatting with you. And for helping us out as well." Eclipsetess replied to Mystic, the small mare backed up as Eclipsetess jumped into the air and took off down straight to the Isles.


When Eclipsetess was diving, she had spread out her wings really fast as she glided down really softly onto the grassy ground, though Minette was rolling around in the dirt before she got up when Eclipsetess walked over to the filly, Minette was very happy to see her mother again.

"Hello my darling, now have you seen Nature? I swear that I saw her grazing before we left." Eclipsetess asked Minette, the young filly looked around before shaking her head in a sad frown as Eclipsetess needed to see her about her notes.

"Well darn, and I thought that she was gonna pop out of the ground when I said her name, well we'll find her eventually for now I want to spend some time you before I look for that mysterious mare." Eclipsetess said, she then looked at Minette as the filly got so excited, that she spun in a circle.

"Well lets go have our fun flying around then." Eclipsetess began walking as Minette took off into the air, her wings just as big as Eclipsetess predicted that the filly would have, though she was still getting used to the actual flying in the air, now she could focus a little more with her mother there.

     Solstice smiled when she saw Mystic sleeping by the gates. Seemed like her job was being the gatekeeper. Solstice wasn't going to bother waking her, but it seemed Eclipsetess had other ideas. Solstice did look back seeing her parents in the distance as she smiled. She seemed a little silent, but she just couldn't believe that after all these years she finally met them. Despite being silent, Solstice had a large and grateful smile on her face.

     Though she went over to Eclipsetess when she went to the spot they appeared from before she looked at Mystic giving a small nod, "I can't thank you enough Mystic...really...I was only a few days old when they came here...it means a lot to me." she said fully out of gratitude, "Well I hope to visit...I want to know more, but alas they were right. I can't stay here. I'm sure Nysa is keeping Orion on the top of his hoofs."

     Solstice smiled, "Thank you Mystic, but I'm afraid my daughter Nysa can't fly...not because she's too young, but because she doesn't have wings. I'd love for her and Orion to meet my parents though...if that's even allowed that is.." she said unsure if it was or not. Though Eclipsetess was right. They should really have gotten going. "Well thanks again Mystic. Hope to see you again." she said.

     Solstice watched Eclipsetess dive as Solstice just glanced at Mystic, "She likes to make things look easy..that's for sure." she giggled before she too dove down doing the same thing as Eclipsetess did. Though Solstice just closed her eyes for a moment enjoying the wind in her mane and feathers for a moment before she spread out her wings and landed. Not bad for her first time doing that. She'd become quite the flyer.

     Though Nysa was starting to get impatient. "Why hasn't mom come back yet? They should have been back by now!" she whined. Orion only sighed trying to tell her to relax and wait a little longer. Nysa just snorted and looked down until she realized Eclipsetess was back when she saw Solstice shortly behind her, "Mom!" she said getting up and running over quickly as Orion stood up while staying where he was.

     Solstice smiled and nuzzled Nysa as she ran over, "I told you I would be back didn't I?" she said with a smile. Nysa asked what took forever, but Solstice just glanced at Eclipsetess and Minette, "Well I'll tell you if we go back to your father." Solstice said as she started to walk over to Orion as she nuzzled him and brushed her side against his a bit. Orion noticed a change in her and asked what happened.

      Solstice just looked around for a moment before she looked up at the sky, "I..I met my parents." she said with a warm smile. "After all of these years of dreaming what they were like and wishing I meet them, and I finally have." Maybe that was what was missing from her life. Her parents. Now that she met them, Solstice felt more complete then she ever had in her life.

     Orion was shocked, "Wait...you really met them? I thought you and Eclipsetess were looking for Nature's notes? Did you find them?" Solstice nodded and explained what happened, "Wow...are you going to tell your brother about it? You know he hasn't really been the same since that day. I hardly see him much to be honest." Solstice just sighed and gave a nod saying that she couldn't keep something like this from Namir. She hoped she could find a way to bring Orion and Nysa to meet them if bubbling them didn't work. They deserved to know her parents too. They were family. Eclipsetess and Minette too. Well everyone was.

Though Eclipsetess was grazing while Minette was getting out her extra energy from seeing that her mother was back, but Nature popped up as Eclipsetess noticed that Nature popped up next to her, which did scare her since she was just peacefully grazing away.

"So did you find my notes?" Nature asked, Eclipsetess was still eating some grass but she did summon the book as Nature got excited to see it, it has been awhile after all, so it made sense to be excited about something lost long ago. Though Eclipsetess finished from eating the grass she was munching on.

"So does the notes say anything about the weird markings being connected to something? Like Raven and Esmeray possibly being reborn horses, or Minette's weird fading marking? Or anything unusual for Nysa?" Eclipsetess piled her questions onto Nature, but she open the book to reveal lots of notes.

But some notes fell out as Minette came over and helped pick them up, Eclipsetess was still shocked on how many notes that Nature had about one topic: Weird markings, which was the answer to Eclipsetess's and everyone else's questions and if they were connected somehow.

"Wait what is that note? A.. Theo-ry?" Eclipsetess asked, it seemed like she didn't know the word theory until now, which was normal since god's and goddesses had more knowledge about everything then some herd of horses or something, though Minette was interested as well.

"It was just something I had theorized, it shouldn't be proved possible though, the only note that we're looking at is titled "Stoned Ponies", which doesn't have the title because I didn't write the titles yet." Nature told Eclipsetess, she could still remember her life and it was great.

"No joke about that! You could set up a wall of theories with these." Eclipsetess said, she was still taken back by what Nature revealed to her, though the black mare did close the book before walking over to where Solstice and her family were.

Eclipsetess nuzzled Minette as she followed after Nature, and Minette trotting alongside Eclipsetess as the two were catching up to Solstice, until Nature stopped and Eclipsetess walked to the side of her as Minette did the samething with her mother. But Nature opened up the book and all her notes were just jumbled together and in a mess, but Eclipsetess took the Stoned Pony theory and showed her.

"This theory can't be possible to prove real, so its a hypothesis more of!" Eclipsetess pointed it out with the paper, Nature then held out another piece of paper, this was different and had runes glowing right around the text and in the corners of the paper and some places around the text.

     Nysa listened to her parents, but she just looked at her mom, "You never met your parent's before? What happened?" she asked unsure if Solstice had told her already or not. It had been a long day or two for her especially with the little adventure she went on that previous night. Though Nysa just laid down beside her parents happy that Solstice was back. Though Nysa was quiet and listened to her mother.

     "Not until today." Solstice said, "They..passed when I was a few days old..." she said trying to find the right terms, "Me and my mother were sick, and I think I was walking on my hooves like I was supposed to, so my parent's left me and my brother to find a cure of some sort, but they didn't return..instead Namir raised me when he didn't have to. I've always dreamed about meeting them and what they were like, but now I know..." she said with a small smile.

     Though Moon seemed to be walking around a bit, and she seemed to have overheard Solstice talking a bit, so she decided to come over. "Now what's this about your parents?" she asked curious as Solstice looked at her and smiled telling her. "Y-you met them? After all this time?" Moon asked as Solstice nodded. Moon was shocked but also happy for her as she nuzzled Solstice, "I've always wanted you to meet them..the one thing I've wanted since Namir came back that day...I hope you'll be able to get to know them..I already know your mother would have been watching you each day." 

     Solstice smiled and nuzzled Moon, "It doesn't feel real.." she smiled happier then ever, but then they noticed Eclipsetess, Nature, and Minette coming. Moon say her goodbyes before Solstice looked at the three, "Well real or not I want to know what it says...I don't think this could all be a coincidence with these markings." she said unsure if she should be nervous or not, but this needed to be done. For the foal's. "Well what does it say?" she asked looking at the two strange papers.

"Well one is a hypothesis for the foal's markings, one marking each of the foal's is different, but this is the hypothesis: it states that when our foals grow up we'll be stoned ponies, and the other glowing rune one states a different future, honestly these two are more relevant as they are the more up-to-date ones. Still in the past though." Eclipsetess flung the paper everywhere around her, which she only made herself look more goofy, so she didn't want tension to build inside the group.

"Oh I just found my oldest note! This one was way back when I first was a goddess at my job, I was just tasked to look at every different foal and mark them if they were different by their mother's, father's, and every other foal's marking(s)." Nature said as Eclipsetess made the oldest note float up.

Though the note sucked up the magic that Eclipsetess was trying to do to pick it up, and fell to the ground, Nature then just swished the note back into the book so that Eclipsetess didn't keep on trying to make the note float by the magic she had wanted in the note.

"Right, its the oldest note, therefore it'll just suck up magic as its too old and torn to even be picked up by magic, but it does state that every foal born with a weird or different marking from everyone else, then it's just rare to even get one. Though the bloodline for getting these weird markings happen if they are carrying a very powerful future or a less exciting future. It just depends on the markings themselves." Nature read the note exactly at how she remembered when she read it for the god's before her.

"The weird markings decides the fate of the foal that it is on? That sounds horrible when your trying to survive!" Eclipsetess exclaimed, she did calm down but the fact that Minette had a weird marking meant she couldn't know her future at all until it comes.

"Well, there is a bit of gibberish at the end, but I can translate it since a friend of mine was helping me with my task and my reports as notes, but she could only talk in runes, so that's why this paper only is covered in runes." Nature spoke up, so she probably doesn't remember her friend at all then.

"Oh? Well I want to know now, as like everyone else since they are anticipated to know." Eclipsetess got excited but controlled herself, Minette just sat down and relaxed since the conversation was still going on.

"Alright alright, the runes say that when a foal is born with a marking like Minette's, Raven's, or Esmeray's then they are to be to have different roles/jobs, Minette wants to be exactly like you Eclipsetess, so her marking is covering her bum to show that she is going to be a guardian soon, but she's not gonna undertake the whole training until she is let into the courses." Nature paused but continued on, "Raven and Esmeray's are the same markings, meaning that their future at some point since Scorn is immortal, then they'll become god's at some point- no one will know when though, since I book read that a god can be reborn- if they have good intentions. Meaning they'll forget their past lives and live their normal life right now." Nature explained a bit more for Raven and Esmeray, so they'll become god's since they are immortal.

"Though there is a note for Nysa's markings, I only saw the markings once with another alicorn x unicorn couple, but that was really years ago, meaning they could be dead now and we just don't know it." Nature perked up since she was on about weird markings and the like.

"Wait really-? Man even Nysa will have a forged path already laid out for her too, she won't be alone just like everyone else, but she'll be included in her future and everyone else's~" Eclipsetess got excited since Nysa will have a future, just like every other foal that she knows of.

"Yes, Nysa provides a good example of personality duplication, meaning she'll have Solstice's personality whilst she has a tiny bit of her father's, so she'll be a mare's foal instead of a stallion's foal. Anyways, her markings display a bright future that is still clouded to mystery, but since she was born by a goddess and a stallion, that makes her a demi-god. She'll go to the Heavens or stay down here and take on tasks just like her mother when she goes on mini adventures now." Nature spoke about Nysa and how her future is shaped out as well.

"Hm, well she gets to see Minette when she grows up and even gets to say her hello's to Raven and Esmeray as well. What a nice future actually!" Eclipsetess smiled at Nysa, since she does get to see Minette when she ages up, which was very nice and happy.

     Solstice had only looked at Orion, but he just nuzzled her a bit to keep her relaxed. Though she listened. They all did. Nysa listened, but she was still clueless by what they meant by all of this. She could tell that her mother seemed a bit nervous, so she just nuzzled up beside her more. Solstice smiled, but she only looked at Eclipsetess and Nature, "Stoned ponies...?" Solstice was unsure what that meant, but she didn't say much. She couldn't help but to let out a small laugh once she noticed what Eclipsetess was doing though.

     Solstice looked at the paper as Nature spoke of one of her old tasks. She watched as it went to the ground despite Eclipsetess's efforts to pick it up with her magic. "Interesting.." she said mainly to herself as Nature explained why Eclipsetess's magic wasn't working. Though that wasn't at all important. Founding out about the some of the foal's strange markings are important. Was Apollo involved in all of this though?

      "Like me." Solstice said as she looked at Nature once more, "I look nothing like either of my parents. They must have known what my markings meant, or at least knew of what some of these notes say." she said trying to piece things together. There was something her parents were holding back, but Solstice had no clue about what it was. Though Solstice then looked at Eclipsetess, "Didn't my legend speak of a mare who looks exactly like me? Sounds like I was to face Dra whether or not I met you all."

     Nysa looked at her mom confused as she said Dra's name clearly confused. Solstice's eyes widened, "N-nothing. You weren't supposed to hear that.." Solstice said hoping the filly wouldn't start asking questions about Dra. The memory of watching him target Nysa haunted her in that moment..even if Minette jumped in front of her. Nysa just looked down knowing if she asked anything her mother wouldn't tell her anything. It was best to remain quiet.

     Though Solstice brought her attention back to Nature as she nodded agreeing with Eclipsetess. She wanted to know. She needed to know. Even if Solstice would worry more about Nysa's future. She had to know. Nysa looked at Minette curiously and confused since she wanted to know what they were talking about, but Orion shook his head a bit to tell her to keep quiet as she did just that.

     "Well Eclipsetess did say that Raven has markings of a old ancestor or goddess..I can't remember entirely, but I know that. You were reborn since you well..were Pandora.." Solstice said a bit quiet, "Though it seems you still remember your old life. Which isn't a bad thing...I think." Solstice just confused herself, so she just stopped talking and went back to listening to what Nature had to say.

     Nysa perked up when she heard her name, but she didn't say anything like her parents wanted. Instead she listened closer as well as Solstice and Orion. Solstice got more nervous at that point which was normal for a mother, but she listened. "Well at least she'll remain with her friends..." Solstice said looking at her daughter before looking at Eclipsetess and Nature once more, "Though I can't help but to be nervous..I don't want her or anyone to go through what we all have..." Solstice said looking down a bit. 

"Solstice, we'll always make sure that no one has go through what we went through, I know you enough that you would keep protecting Nysa, everyone does, but I know how you are and so does Namir and Orion too. They know that you would protect Nysa.. Even when you'll hurt yourself from the things just to keep her safe.." Eclipsetess murmured the last part as she remembers seeing Minette spike herself, and everyone else getting spiked too.

"But I'm also here to help protect Nysa, and you know Minette would do anything just to keep her safe as well, she's practically a mini me and Nysa's a mini you, so they'll keep each other safe just like when I died to keep you safe and healthy, even to the point of golden dust." Eclipsetess spoke once more, Eclipsetess started smiling as she was also beginning to cry as well, the pain but she did everything for Solstice.

"Mom.." Minette whispered, Eclipsetess knew what she said aloud with Nysa and Minette there, she wanted the foals to know that Minette would do the same thing just like Eclipsetess did for Solstice and her life, but Minette also began tearing up as tears were beginning to form from her eyes and down her cheeks.

Minette looked down as she was eventually crying more just like Eclipsetess still smiling even when she was crying, she she ended up planking her head gently on top of Minette's head as soon as Minette got up and put her head on Eclipsetess's leg, the two were.. So cute even when they were crying.

Azulia shortly wandered over so that she could help Eclipsetess and Minette stop crying, the two's emotions were what made Azulia come over, and she wanted to help because pain is what everyone feels and can relate too, everyone knows that, but Minette then looked around as she her vision was blurry since she was crying, but it silent..

Though Azulia helped Minette sit down as she did the samething with Eclipsetess, she then helped with anyone else that was crying, Eclipsetess then began wondering if she said too much for Nysa to handle, but she looked at Minette as she obviously couldn't take it, the fact that her mother died over and over for Solstice.. It was like a game but it was reality..

     Solstice only looked down with her ears lowered. Orion tried comforting her by softly nuzzling her neck. Though Solstice was silent for a moment as she listened to Eclipsetess, "Like my brother tried to protect me...I hurt him Eclipsetess. I have to live with that. I have to live with all of it. Letting him take you. Watching him destroy everything and everyone...the pain never goes away...it never had..some days it's like I can still feel him coming after me. Some days I hear his voice. His hissing...it never goes away and it never will.."

     Solstice seemed to be hiding her pain for a while now, but she would always have it. She just wanted to be there for Nysa and everyone else. She had no choice but to be strong especially for Nysa, but in that moment, she couldn't be. "I'm the reason he almost took her in the first place. If I hadn't tried to get him to take me instead of Faith then he never would have targeted her...Minette never would have done what she had.." Solstice refused to look up, and both Nysa and Orion tried to comfort her even though Nysa now had more questions then she ever had before.

     Though Solstice slowly looked up at Eclipsetess, "I thought I lost you twice that day. I thought I would have lost my brother too...I-i couldn't live with myself if you..you never came back!" Solstice's wings were tense around her sides as she looked back down, "I've made mistakes...mistakes that hurt you..guardian or not you shouldn't take the consequences of my actions...Dra...the fire..."

     Solstice hadn't even realized what was being said with Nysa right there. Instead she just buried her face in Orion's neck and mane as her horn sat on top of his mane. He only lowered his ears and sighed. Nysa looked at her mother with her ears down before she looked down. Not a word came from her. Instead Nysa ended up laying her head in the grass as she watched each blade of grass move in the small breeze. She didn't want to see her mom like this even if she wanted to know more about what happened, but how was she supposed to comfort her?

     Nysa wasn't sure, but she just curled up quietly beside her mother. The mood had surely gone down, and Nysa didn't like it, but she just remained quiet. Solstice kept her face buried in Orion's mane as he didn't move. Instead he had a saddened look as he looked at the others before looking down. Namir was in the distance as he noticed the mood change in the group, but he wasn't sure what had happened. Either way he slowly walked over and tried comforting Eclipsetess and Minette..

     After awhile Solstice slowly got back up on her hooves before she slowly walked away with her head down. Namir, Orion, and Nysa watched her. Nysa was about to get up and follow her, but Orion told her not to. Namir sighed as he looked down. Solstice though just walked to the beach as she stood near the bridge with her head down remaining lowered. Orion sighed as he looked at Eclipsetess, "You should be the one to go after her and talk to her...she blames a lot on herself.." he said knowing neither him or Namir could really talk to her.

"Alright.. But its more of my fault for bringing everything back up again just as we were in peace.." Eclipsetess said, as she began walking, Minette looked at Eclipsetess walking over to Solstice and talking to her, then Minette looked up at Namir and Orion, and even Nysa.

Though as Eclipsetess was walking, she made sure that Solstice had stayed where she was since Eclipsetess wanted to talk normally, about everything that had happened, and everything after, Eclipsetess just wanted to talk. Even if it meant reviving old and hurt feelings.

"Look, its better to vent then bubble feelings, you should come talk to me or someone you trust to talk to you. We would understand you better if you just talked it out, I mean I know you don't want to talk about old feelings.. But if you've seen me more madder then anything, that's what happens to a horse when they bubble feelings: they lash out at others, even.. Those creatures were purely made out of their anger as well.. But I still suggest that we talk, and I know Orion said that you blame yourself." Eclipsetess paused as she sticking together words.

"But don't blame yourself, I already do that already, and when I saw Minette protect Nysa, I blamed myself for not being fast enough to protect her as well, it would have been better if I protected all three of them, Orion, Nysa, and Minette. I still blame myself for a lot of other things that you don't even know about me.." Eclipsetess looked up at Solstice, Eclipsetess was more experienced with pain and that could be read out.

"Look the point is to this conversation, is that I was assigned to keep everyone around you safe, including yourself, but I always never dreamt of becoming a guardian, I was rather forced in the option since I was also wasn't born as an alicorn either.. I hid the fact from you and told a lie to you when I met you, I told you I was born as a rare alicorn when I already lied and there's tons of alicorns, but the fact as why I'm rare was that I am like Nysa.. Except that my parents were already dead and had me relive my first life as a new foal for a new family.." Eclipsetess looked off to the side, the fact I went and even touched the ground for the Angel Realm connected me to my family instantly since I am actually an Angel Guardian and not just a regular Goddess Guardian." Eclipsetess continued on from her story, it made sense as to why she was always bottling up some emotions and becoming increasingly angry.

"... Dra knew I was an Angel Guardian, and knew you too, it was seen as clear as day when Trickster and Carrion kidnapped us, he wanted to use me the same way you were coming to rescue me, Faith wasn't taken by Dra, it was Pandora instead.. And.. Tension and things happened between them.. I read an old journal with everything as to why Nature decided to reincarnate as Dra's wife and Darling's mother.. Because she was already pregnant but died too early, and as a result she died again but had Darling successfully birthed, and then Nature became.. Well Nature." Eclipsetess said, it was a clear sky but Eclipsetess had the feeling that Nature was watching as she felt the ground bump under her sometimes, but the bumping felt angry.

"If you don't know what I'm talking about, Dra was trying to create a very very powerful hybrid immortal demi-god, the same way that you and Orion had Nysa, but this would foal would be able to Stone Ponies but not growing ones, Nature knew this and.. Well you could guess the rest, and that would lead to her first foal's death and her death before she reincarnated as a more powerful creature that would be awakened once more.. Dra knew that Nature was a goddess and was still immortal, so that's why he changed paintings, he changed them from Pandora to Nature, to make sure that crazy bachelor stallion had a new opposition in his grasp. The god's were always right that Dra knew everything, even your own herd and mine.. Then that's why he wanted you, to use you as a endangered horse for Nature to wake up and protect.. Everyone did call her Mother Nature once, as she was the goddess of Nature, always wondered about that, but now I know.. She has heart and love for everything.. And would die more then times to keep you safe as well.. She knew that when she was conscious in her sleeping state." Eclipsetess said, she gathered all her thoughts into one sentence, and one sentence that came from a single book out of curiosity.

"But I'm getting off track, I was born twice yes, but that meant I already felt like a mistake since my first life was ended too quick, resulting me into an Angel Guardian at birth. To keep you always safe, I just never told Azulia or anyone this, and also the reason why Faith comes down sometimes, to keep me updated about some things as well- whenever we get a chance to talk that is." Eclipsetess said, she tried upping the mood from feeling too bad, and still tried her best to be the goofy mare she was.

"Though that's also another reason why I never talk about family either, and the other reason why I take Azulia as my adopted sister and Scorn my adopted father. You just never know what someone might tell you, but I guess that I spilt too much information, but that's how I vent to someone and my little cave where I can read and write to myself and never have anyone know." Eclipsetess looked at Solstice once more, though she stopped to look at the sky once more, it was beautiful just like everyone here on the Isles.
