Pieces of the Heart: Chapter 5

Start of the Journey

Hi! Sorry for the long wait, I had major writer's block, and stuff. I haven't given up my love on writing yet, so there will be more chapters coming out! I'm working on chapter 6 as we speak!

Now without further adieu, Chapter 5!

Dimmer exhaled sharply, and he looked back at his group.

"Eggman's old base? Why would it be there?" Larixis wondered. "Hmph, maybe Bright sent that piece there on purpose. So if anyone tried to get it, they would get hurt." Wyanaz said, flipping her mane out of her face.

Dimmer growled at her, and he turned away to look back at the map. "Well, we better get going." The young king said. He looked up to Twilight and bowed. "Thank you, Princess. Now... I just have one request."

Twilight's eyebrow raised in confusion. "A request? What is it?" She asked.

Dimmer glanced at the map, then he looked around the room, seeing the empty Mane 7 thrones, including one for Spike. "I… Don't want you to tell anyone else about this." He said.

"... But… Sonic and Aurora, to hear that they're daughter can be revived-" "You said it's possible, But what if she can't be brought back?" Dimmer asked.

"What are you saying? Are you having doubts?" Tails asked.

"Of course not! I'm just saying that if you tell them the news, and then nothing happens… That could crush their hearts all over again." Dimmer said. "I just don't want to get their hopes up in case it doesn't work, okay?"

Everyone stared at Dimmer, and Twilight started to nod in understanding. "... Okay, I agree with you. Aurora is one of my best friends, I don't want her to go through the same pain as she did 2 years ago."

"Thank you." Dimmer said. "Wyanaz, can you scan the map?"

"Of course, I can use a simple copy spell." Wyanaz said as she walked towards the map. She brushed herself against Dimmer lovingly as she walk past, which made Dimmer's skin crawl in an uneasy way.

Wyanaz stood in front of the map, her horn glowing its red color. Her red eyes started glittering, as if she was memorizing every detail of the map into her head. In a few short minutes, the red glow disappeared, and Wyanaz blinked a few times to clear her vision.

"Got it." She grumbled as she rubbed her eyes with her hoof.

"Then let's go." Dimmer said as he turned to the window and spread his wings. "Don't forget the shard." Tails said, and Styre took it from the map. Larixis was the one with a saddlebag, so Styre slipped the shard inside there.

After they were travel ready, they all got a running start and jumped out the window. Wyanaz levitated Larixis with her magic once again, so they all started flying across Ponyville.

It's been almost two hours since they left Twilight's castle, and the four were starving. Wyanaz looked like she went through hell, her head was drooping, and she was flapping her wings sluggishly. However, she tried to look her best in case Dimmer was watching.

"Dimmer, we should be smart and take a break." Styre said. "Wyanaz looks like she's about to pass out, and all of us are hungry."

And as if on cue, all their stomachs started to growl. Dimmer slowed down and looked back at the group, disapproval on his face. "This is why I didn't want to bring a group along, they slow me down."

Wyanaz shook off her drowsiness and gave him a weak smirk. "Oh come on, I can still go on. Let's just ditch these losers and complete the mission ourselves." She said. "But, you'll have to carry me~"

Dimmer cringed. "First, no. Second, I won't leave anyone from my kingdom behind. And you all should feel lucky that Bright taught me how to have a heart." He said as he started to fly down towards the ground.

The three other changelings exchanged glances before following their young king. Dimmer landed under a shady tree to protect himself from the harsh sunlight, and Wyanaz landed beside him. Her horn stopped glowing and she pretty much just dropped Larixis. The poor young changeling fell about 8 feet to the ground and landed on his flank.

Styre landed with style, as usual, and she started laughing at Larixis' misfortune.

Dimmer glared at Wyanaz, who looked somewhat triumphant. "What? Kid deserved it for draining my energy for 2 hours." Wyanaz said as she sat down under the tree.

"You do know that he's the one with the supplies, right? if anything is broken or destroyed, it's your fault." Dimmer said as he went over to Larixis.

"Well, I was using a levitation spell for 2 hours, right after I used that copy/scan spell. That takes a lot of magic for a mere changeling to use all at once." Wyanaz said. "If I didn't drop him when I did, I would have passed out."

"I hate to agree with the redhead, but she's right, she just used a lot of her energy and she needs to rest." Styre explained.

"Oh, great." Dimmer sighed as he opened Larixis' saddlebag and made a pink bottle float out by using his magic. "Eat up, we still have a while to go."

He tossed the bottle to Wyanaz, and she caught it. Her eyes turned to slits, and she stared at the bottle hungrily, as if she were trying to find the best way to open the bottle.

Wyanaz is one of the most love-craving changelings Dimmer knows, she's like a vampire, but worse. She finally decided to stupidly chomp her fangs into the side of the bottle, cracking the glass and making pink mist drift out. In an instant, the mist disappeared and Wyanaz sighed in pleasure. "I really needed that." She said with a small chuckle.

She just devoured the love mist faster than Dimmer could blink. That was a new record.

"You're such an idiot," Dimmer said, eyeing the cracked glass bottle. "You could have gotten glass in your mouth and cut yourself."

Wyanaz looked at Dimmer in amusement and she went up to him. "Dear King of the Changelings, are you concerned for my safety?~" She smirked. "Maybe you have some feelings for me after all~"

"Tch! In your dreams!" Dimmer snarled at Wyanaz, getting in her face.

Wyanaz didn't move. Hell, this girl didn't even flinch. She just took a step forward, which surprised Dimmer as he stepped back. Wyanaz stopped and she stared at Dimmer with her blood red eyes and a smug look on her face.

"I intimidate you." She said slyly. "Don't I?"

Dimmer felt anger boiling in his veins and he flared his wings. "I am your KING. I do not fear you in any way! Now back down or I will personally escort you right back to the Kingdom!" He shouted, his eyes turning to slits and his fangs showing.

However… Wyanaz gave him no reaction, at least, not in the way that he wanted. She just stared at him the same way she did before. "First off, what a gentleman that you would go through the trouble to escort me, but I can take care of myself and can get there on my own. Second," She stepped forward, but Dimmer stood his ground. He wasn't going to back away like a coward, this mare had to know her place.

Big mistake.

Wyanaz noticed his courage to stand up to her, and she grinned as she continued to move forward, then she leaned forward and kissed him.

Dimmer's eyes widened in horror as he pushed Wyanaz back, and he started to spit everywhere to make the feeling on his mouth go away.

Wyanaz laughed in amusement as she went back to sit under the tree. Dimmer wiped his mouth off and growled furiously. "Enough you two! This is no time for fighting! Dimmer, think of Bright." Styre said, and Dimmer stopped. an image of her smiling face appeared in his head, and he stared off into space.

He remembered her soft purple fur, bright eyes and her gentle warmth of her body. Her cute laugh, her sweet voice, her big heart and fiery spirit. Dimmer's anger slowly started melting away, and he forgot all about Wyanaz's kiss.

Wyanaz put on a jealous face as she saw this happening, but she didn't say anything.

"Okay, good. Now everyone rest up, we'll leave in an hour." Styre said as she and Larixis went and sat under another tree. Dimmer was still staring off into space, and he moved so he wasn't sitting in the shade. The sun beamed down on him, but it didn't bother him, It just reminded him of Bright.

He smiled slightly, and he closed his eyes as he lost himself in his thoughts.

Aww, Dimmer :3

He loves his little Bright light so much. Don't worry, dude, you'll see her soon. Just not in the way you'll expect... hehehe...
