>... >... >>Be Nonny >>You're out playing with your friends again, now that Auntie Twi got Anon to stop showing you... >>...those images >>But the important thing is that Auntie Twilight is working on a way to save you both >>And she needed peace and quiet for that >>Though you were sure you could keep out of her way, it was best to be out of the castle >>after a while, you began to feel something >>...weird >>inside your head >>it was an awkward feeling, as if there was some sort of pushing on it >>but it wasn't painful >>you soon came to realize the feeling was entirely imagined >>or very nearly >>it was the discomfort Anon was feeling >>You took this as a sign of your minds merging in the bad way Auntie Twi described earlier >>You told Applejack about this development, but she didn't know what she could do about it >>the sun soon began to set and Applejack walked you home >>On the way back, you thought about Anon and how well the two of you would get along once he was out of your head >>...or when you were out of his head >>Whichever way it worked >>But you knew you were going to be a good sister to her >>Finally arriving back at the castle, Twilight answered Applejack's knock >>she looked sad and tired >(Twi) "Thanks for watching her, AJ. Anon didn't cause anymore trouble did he?" >(AJ) "No, she's been quiet as far as Ah can tell. Though Nonny mentioned she could feel him in 'er head now." >>Auntie Twi turned her attention to you ["He feels uncomfortable. I don't think he's doing it on purpose, but I can feel what he does. He feels uncomfortable."] >>Auntie Twi cast a spell on you, though you couldn't feel any immediate affect >>Though she seemed more worried once she was done >(AJ) "Ah gotta get home to the farm. Night Twilight." >>Applejack looked down at you and you could see sadness in her eyes >>Why was AJ sad? >>Auntie was going to fix everything >>AJ took off her hat and held it to her chest >(AJ) "Goodbye, Anon." >>...She wasn't talking to you. >>She was looking into your eyes, but it didn't feel like she was looking at you. >>No, Applejack was looking through you. >>Into you. >>She put her hat back on before turning to go home, Auntie Twi shut the door and took you to your room. >... >... >Be Anon >it was tense >you could practically feel the emotion in the air so thick it could probably be cut >Twilight was sad, very clearly so >you could tell without any exchange of words that she hadn't found a solution >and you could feel Nonny's worry >she genuinely wasn't malicious, she wanted you to survive too >you could even feel the sisterly love she has for you >"Anon..." >Twilight's voice wavered when she whispered your name >"Nonny..." ["Yes, Auntie Twi?"] >"I...I have to do this now. It won't hurt either of you, I swear...But you both deserve to know the truth." >she there were tears in her eyes >"I can only save one of you." >that was rather blunt >you felt your heart sink >or rather, you felt Nonny's heart sink >and you felt tears in her eyes too >she rushed forwards and hugged Twilight tightly ["P-please, try to save him..."] >you could feel Twilight return Nonny's hug >Nonny takes a step back, looking up into Twilight's eyes >"J-just hold still, Nonny..." >... >"Anon. I'm so sorry. P-please forgive me." >so this was it >this was really the end >you could probably fight your way to regain control >but you don't think you could bring yourself to destroy Nonny, either >you sure could shit talk Twilight when she said she picked Nonny over you >but when it came down to it, you couldn't kill a child either >Nonny began to glow in Twilight's familiar magic >and you remember the first time you felt the glow of her magic >when she accidentally pulled you from earth >...and again when she turned you into a filly >... >you began to feel the edges of your consciousness fading >and you could feel less and less of your body with each second >maybe it was for the best that it would work out this way >Nonny seems like she was made for this world >you don't think you'd ever be able to truly get used to this >better she be given a life you would only waste >though you could still feel Nonny and her sadness for you >with the last of your strength you send her you final thought >'I'm happy, hope you're happy too...' >what happens next you only would have been able to describe as falling asleep >... >... >Be Nonny >It's been month since Auntie Twi was forced to get rid of Anon >You were laying in bed now, with one of her wings draped over you protectively >Neither of you wanted to sleep alone for a little while after what had happened >For the first time as long as you've lived, your head felt truly clear >Every night, you can still feel Anon...and who she was...even her hopes and dreams >The home she lost...the sister you lost >won't stop hurting >it's like they're all still there >... >Auntie Twi had used her magic to give you a horn just like she promised >and she taught you magic every day >She didn't want to admit it at first, but she said Anon was still in you >Forever sleeping >Auntie Twi said it would be too dangerous to try to extract her consciousness from your mind >But you were determined to try once you were older >You would never give up hope on your sister.
