"Hello there, kid."
"It's Cidiem, i see you are bad to remember names." This kid is damn right, i am just that bad at doing it.
She lay back, spreading her wings. Yet i still in denial over obvious things. "No, i remember all of my friend's name."
"Yea, whatever." I fill up a glass besides her, with warm water.
She drank it without hesitation, folding her wings. The size is larger than any filly i know, of which even surpass several wing size of even stallion.
"Do you know about Laufen?"
That name, without the title is just too disrespectful. "Yes, i do."
'Tis' shall spoil everything i had hiding forever.'
"Okay, let me ask you. Do you know Nid- eug!" My tounge, put me away from saying that name. Of which tied by Vow.
- Anything beyond homeland is forbidden to leak any core information unless they already have said information.
"No, i didn't. Do they end with Tempest?"
"Yes."
"I didn't recall anything, what a pity." She lay back on the bed, wingspan is beyond her own length.
By this moment, rekindle my heart. 'I miss home, but are there a way?'
"Did you miss your home?"
A question i want to ask, yet she said it before i do.
"Yes, and how about you?"
She laugh, it subsides and with cold tone "No, i didn't."
"Wh- why?"
She took her blanket, and use it on herself. "Life there is just unfair, there is no thing as loyality. All present is just despair and doom bring by our ally, and there is no point at smiling anymore. Just a slow descend into despair and insanity."
'I can't believe this kid can utter such words, just sounds like apocalypse.'
"You know, i stranded here for 3 Years. And currently on averge of acceptance to live forever here, but you just appear out of thin air." She laugh, sigh. Although her wings are larger than most i know, it barely move like one.
"What's the point? Thought on how curvature time and space works?" She even know about it, but it doesn't explain why she was out of her world.
I was thinking about it. 'Due to abundance of magic, it is hard to even utilize one.'
Focusing my sight, i saw a blue lotus over the kid's head.
'Hah?'
"Don't tell me, i-" I can feel the fabric of space, it bend on my will. So i gently tear it open, and there exactly outside my hut.
My jaw was hanging right now, feeling like this was nothing like Svadi's. "Oh, you realized that. I am yet to do that, but i am yet to learn the space tunneling."
"Oh, good to know."
The spatial rift close on it's own, but this is just a small breaktrough. I still need to figure out how to take matters on attempt at accessing another universe, but all i know is merely vain.
I realized her face. Shocked, heart rate skyrocketting, pupil shrunken, wings and muscles no longer stiff like it once were.
"Hey, Cid. What's wrong?"
She drop rains of saltwater off her eyes, but she have no intent of showing this. In fact, she had no clue. Until my heart also race, but i had no idea.
She hug me, even with her wings. "What?"
"Sorry, i cannot save you. I am really sorry for that!"
"What do you mean?" She shiver, wipe her own tears. Confused, sobbing for God knows what she thought.
Instead of getting away from me, she keep stick to my limb. Rubbing her face against it, now she completely lost her cool. No sound, just tears and weak spots.
Faint 'mama~' came from her mind, with her heart only race without letting go of my limb.
"Sorry for your loss, i'll be here for thee." Carefully place my other frontlimb around her, cause her to drop more tears. But her heart rate slows down, not as high like before.
"Don't cry, young mare. Thy shalt always Laufenas' little filly, and i shall beside thee on my time on this world."
She eventually dozed off from fatigue, and there is no longer a wound on her head. Merely scar, and an idea of taking her home.
.
I have the permission for taking her to my shelter, with a promise of which i assure was fitting and no longer worried about damn dysfunctional rune.
She still sob on her dream, clearly thinking about last time seeing her mother.
Putting her on the blanket, right besides the heater. room temperature is enough to melt ices, deep sleeping on thy hut.
.
Minutes since i had passed training, after 3 years of doing this from scratch. My mental carving is strong enough to emulate the hell i went trough training with Lady Laufen 'Thank God i am from Svadi.'
The kid still sleeping on the floor, putting off the weight bois.
For adding mass into object isn't as hard as they looks, but adding too much meant fusion and death.
.
I got it, she was still sleeping. And this is morning, how am i suposed to miss the morning routine. So, i leave a note on the wall for her to read.
Until i felt a grab on my leg, it was the kid. "Where are you going?"
Sobbing eyes, still a lot of thing happened.
"Going to my friend's house, work to do."
She stand up, clean herself a little and declare "Can i go with you?"
I can only smile "With honour, thy highness."
.
A large sized carousel, bunch of things tell us what's inside.
"Greetings, thy project this day?"
Rarity pause her work, her instruments freezing and still on the air. "Vey, good time you here."
"And who is this little fella?" The grin on her face, a filly nearly as tall as herself.
. Switching to 3rd perspective .
"This was a kid of someone i know, maybe it isn't right to call her 'kid of hers.' But, she clearly was her descendant." Her lips lifted up, focused eyesight and many more.
On Vey's perspective, Rarity combust in fire although she isn't.
"Alright then, no time to waste and let's work with it!" Instruments heed her call, twirl around Cidiem with such presice control. Wingspan to head size, calculated in seconds. Counting all of that while watching with her keen eyes, really hard to replicate.
Cleave and cut with polished efficiency, Vey attempt to be relevant with this. But she barely keeping up with the plan going on, yet she manage to keep up by 2 seconds ahead.
The dress was done in less than an hour.
"It is suprising you know my moves seconds ahead, just like playing chess." She put away most of her instruments, resting on the couch.
Cid also sat down from her moment of stonification, most kids cannot stand for that long. Yet, she was able to supress hers. "It is just pure prediction, premove also important on thoose moments. Atleast it merely a show off, nothing more."
"I see a lie in some of your words, but i'll let it pass." She really aware this isn't her full potential, but there are some way she want to see.
Without moving, Rarity put out a mirror in front of Cid.
A carefully made zipper dress, clever crimson colouring. "Uh, is this just me. Or both of us had the same idea, and you read my mind."
"Is that an insult? Whatever, so what do you think?" She back off, giving space for Vey to think.
"Looks familiar, give me sense of nostalgia."
Her face is just looks like in disgust, confused, or something in between. "I uderstand there is something you think, but can you describe about it more?"
"Nope, it's just fitting." Instead of bulky mare, Vey's body built more like semi-tall mare.
This realization just put Rarity on sudden burst of ideas, eyes twitching with combinations on her head. 'This is perfect, too perfect.'
'No wonder 'She' have that many crimson dresses.' Vey thought, looking back at Cid.
. Veyrl's Perspective
"Rarity, are thou surest there art enough time? Snows went sharper outside, and overheating isn't a choice for thee." Although subtle, but Rarity's legs slightly wobble from her magic usage. Yet, the control over her instruments is still sharp.
"Don't worry, i am good." Says a mare who nearly black out from losing all of their juice, isn't like what she usually depicted. But this still ruin everything just of her controlling more than she capable of.
Laughing like maniac, she lash out the last strand of idea. Staple it towards her board, and there was more than dozens design in less than an hour.
"We're leaving, just know we'll be back next day." Cid unzips all of the zipper on the dress she wore, and leave it on the couch.
"Cid! Wait, you can keep it."
"Really?" Cid look at the dress once more, she saw Rarity nod her own head. Rarity drop down, sitting.
It was me, contacting Rarity's back. Currently unleashing some of her sealed magic, of which isn't that hard to dispose. Took me while to really finish, so i'd leave.
"Let's head back to the Hut, and she's okay. She'll regain her conciousness in minutes, it's not like she'll have a frostbite."
