so, sometimes we ask ourselves a question: >what should be ethical to do? >a gay couple? telling the truth?outright lying? tuning and manipulating reality as you please? >for some,this practice looks free and unlimited >for others,it's the worst step to take >a fake step that could cost the direction of someone's career,a peoject perhaps? >if that was the case,we shouldn't worry about lying in the magical land of friendship and harmony >after all, it's Equestria and a perfect place where no one could go wrong >until suddenly, a couple of subjects had some tensions... >"that's it Radiance!" said a black colored pony >"I swear this is not what you may think" said Radiance, almost crying >"Ah, so now what I think is wrong, right?" he said >"Frost, you have to listen to me!" Radiance screamed >"So my eyes betray me huh? Just like you fucking around the nights with some ponies around the forest" Frost nodded and turned his back to her >"It's not that I could say I was not with them but...." Radiance assumed with a bitter face >"But what? You have betrayed me and I thought we were on this together. I see you sharing it with others and the worst part is that they seem happy after meeting you" Frost said. >"But making them happy is..."Radiance claimed with a hopeful sense of redemption >"Enough! I leave you alone. You are the biggest sin of a bat, you don't have loyalty and so....you won't have me!"....and Frost ran away with a really fast speed, not having desire to look back at her. >Radiance was astonished and she didn't expect Frost would see her meeting with Jack,a royal guard who protects from the Castle of the Two Sisters >She got herself thinking if she would see Frost back again >tears were spreading through her face, now having a slight expectation of inestability >inestability for herself? In psychological terms,she was done. >The following night,she didn't go and reunite with her friends. She had told them that she was not prepared to proceed as usual. They understood her and said that she could come whenever she is ready. >Radiance was a pony with rollercoaster periods of privacy.Even though many bats didn't see her during the day, with her friends she made justice to her name, during Midnight. >The moon put her as a natural symbol of representing the night. Many bats saw her attractive and with the recent joining of normal ponies into the bat realm, they concluded in the same aspects about her. >She is shy after the midnight,reserved when she doesn't feel like goving everything out of her. She had learned how to be honest because of her father:Charcoal Dash during her childhood years. She had received good lessons and his father held an important position and even, read some of the stories of the royalty. Those lessons were effective for her daughter and while she didn't go to school, she learned how to feel like an element(in the apple territory) >Radiance,two weeks after that recent diplomacy with ponies, saw an unicorn who complemented her colours. A pony which seemed like the other side of the orange. >This happened during the sunrise, she was not as radiant as she would in her shining period. A bat pony meeting with an unicorn during the day. Ironic it seems because bat ponies are not supposed to fit into the light. A fallacy we all would have fallen at first... >when she met Frost during the first time,it was with the sun in the background. >she tightened her eyes because she wouldn't need to open tem that much >Frost was a visitor who was interested in seeing how bat ponies were. He did like them but he didn't get as used to their settings as bats were. That meant a problem, he usually goes into bed when the night comes and wakes up with the night almost falling down. >Radiance could adapt herself either way and so accepted during two months. That lack of sleep however, put her into troubles sometimes and she didn't give everything like she did in the past. Her friends didn't understand what could be wrong with her. As shy as she is,honesty comes partially from her. The moments she opens her mouth fully,the bigger the truths are. That's why she played like a fake character and those blue colours added to his body helped her to adapt for a long time. She shows confidence with her friends, a fake confidence but an effective mask. >Until Frost discovered she was meeting with Jack,both with smug faces and looking closely at each other, with challenging and energetic eyes though. >Her efforts were wasted on both sides. Now,Radiance has rejected the meeting with her friends and has lost her idealistic pony. >She trusted on receiving a 2nd chance....but is there any luck after such proof of loving another pony? >she visited his house >it was again,late in the night,almost sunrise like the first meeting. >Frost didn't want to open the door and he rejected any kind of form of opening it...and his heart >Radiance tried several times to open it, she was desperate of trying to say the truth >denied in both physical and psychological sides,she apologized for at least half an hour, the sun was rising. He as proud as he is, didn't give her the chance,that betrayal cost him lots of personal emotions to give that relationship a 2nd chance. who wouldn't date with a mare who would betray you? 2nd parts are never good and there are a lot of mares out there to meet. >Radiance had an idea. Her "evil" side was sparking a very wild idea. She flew over the windows and entered with a threatening look,almost like assaulting it. She was purposefully being a villain and Frost screamed for help. >She smashed Frost into the ground and with a menacing look,she had Frost under her hooves. He couldn't escape and he was asking himself if he deserved this. >"Radiance! It's me! Don't hurt me please! It's enough! I want to leave! Help!" screamed Frost >Radiance deactivated her bat and wild mode after seeing he was willing to talk.Her eyes didn't shine as much and she closed her wings. Now, with the awkward situation behind, it seems they are able to have another conversation,just like she wanted. >"So,Radiance, what is this mess?Why have you come to me again? Weren't you supposed to be around with your stallion?" said Frost with a despective tone >"i am sorry Frost. You haven't listened to me properly,you were impatient and I didn't have the chance to say it" Radiance said. "Say what? That you are a disgusting bat, crazy and messing around with the ponies. This is why you bats are untrust pieces worth of the Tantabus. Celestia shouldn't have forgiven you for what you are. I have seen what I have needed to see and you have no excuse to fake what I have seen" responded Frost. >"Frost,let me explain it,please!" exclaimed Radiance >"Come on,say it! Betray me again! Just like you do all the times! Betray me and put your hooves down like a fucking bitch you are" said Frost >"I....I am" said Radiance >"What?" Frost said with surprise. >"I... am actually one. I don't get offended because of what you have said..." Radiance asnwered with honesty >But....how?" Frost asked >"I have sold myself with other ponies. I have done it since I started my adulthood" Radiance took a deep breath... >"When bats were banned into the dark realm,we were pretty scarce on resources. My dad Charcoal,had died because of shadow Timberwolves,corrupted wolves that menaced the castle ten years ago. He saved us and cleaned the Everfree Forest with his sacrifice. The guard tropes were never found and either you fought for self-defense, or we were done" >"Things were tense until Celestia opened us the door of redemption. We were used to it but the tension was still there. With my father gone, I didn't know what to do for making more bits. You could suffer a lot of hunger if you didn't save yourself first in that decadent situation. Jack is one of those high figures who has helped me economically and one of my most loyal customers. Pretty much, all the town knew I was selling myself out during the midnight" "Radiance..." said Frost. >"I don't need to be a prostitute because of resources now, the world of harmony has brought new ponies and I am more stable economically than I had been back then. Nonetheless, I am still doing it because I have it in my veins,ponies enjoy seeing me like this so I have this make-up all the time. I have been known as this character and so the prostitute soul iis with me. I have been praised for attracting tthat tourism and so bats have received the best times of ourselves." >"So Jack was....?"Frost asked >"If you are asking, I have not betrayed you. The energetic looks were simply part of my job and he has paid me a lot. He said earlier during the night that I have been doing it pretty well,not only as a prostitute but as bat figure as well." >"Radiance. I simply don't know but what to say about this"said Frost >"It's alright,Frost. You are simply confused. You have not seen me working with those lilac socks nor with suggestive costumes." said Radiance with a smile. >But,how do I know that you actually love me? How do I trust on a bat whose purpose is to be a free soul of intimacy" asked Frost >"I have had reservations about them,but not about you. You are someone that I personally love because I feel that way at its core. I want you as you are,not as a customer but as a pony." Radicance explained. "I have ended up indifferent with them. It's hard to be bound on feelings that are not real during your life. They are not enough for me in order to love someone. I have been distant with them after my job and even some didn't want to know about me the following day. It's beautiful to lie to them but not with you" said Radiance with a deeper tone. >Radiance....I..." Frost said. >"If you are willing to give a chance,not the 2nd but the actual one we have had since the beginning,you will notice that I haven't left you behind at all. Meet with me tonight near the river. I will be waiting for you" Radiance said and closed the door. >"Radiance, wait!" shouted Frost. >She flew away... Frost trusted on the words of Radiance,he waited on the place he was told to. The night was coming and Radiance had to work again... >"Hey Radiance ! Are you ready to give it everything again?" said one of her coworkers >"Not this time. Go ahead, I am taking a rest tonight. I have personal things to do" said Radiance >"Well, whatever you need. We are here for anything. Goodnight, Radiance" she said. >And she raised her hoof for goodbye. >Radiance appeared flying in front of Frost just before the full moon hour. >She looked like the prostitute she had been all the time but more simple this time. >"I sense that you are still you after all. You have not changed and you are here." said Frost >"Well,working about faking all the time gets tiresome on the inside. I think it's time to show what my mind and body begs to do" said Radiance >"Wait, wait,wait. So you are treating me as a customer tonight?" asked Frost. >"No. The difference between you and them is that I feel alright. I wouldn't sacrifice another day of work if I wasn't finding myself as a pony." said Radiance. >So, you are here and..."said Frost >"...and I will follow the same pattern as the others but this time, remember, what you are seeing is not my work....it's my bat spirit. I am glad I can feel it for myself completely" said Radiance. >"Me too...I guess" said Frost. >"You sure do." ended Radiance. the midnight hour was about to come and that was how an attractive pony caught a pony who could share a sense of relief and peace. That night came without forced brilliance,a shining moon that felt as powerful as the sun. It didn't feel late for an unicorn,it didn't feel average for a bat. Just the right time for showing how two worlds connect after so many misunderstandings....
