Chapter Nine: A Cure and a Talk

    Feeling groggy as well as emotionally wrung out, Twilot slowly sat up; blearily staring at the multicolored blurs in front of her. “Hey Twi’. Guess yer feelin’ ‘bout as low as the rest of us,” cooed an accented voice from her right as her vision cleared to make out Applejack.
    “Yeah. I... had no idea such a thing had happened. None of it is in any history book I’ve ever seen but... I could feel her emotions, her heartbreak. You can’t fake those feelings,” whispered the lavender alicorn as she slowly got to all four hooves.
    “All of us could feel it. Such terrible things. Do you think Princess Celestia wasn’t aware of it?” Pinkie whispered her hair slumped and straight due to the aftershocks of what she had been put through. It had been like living through the horrors herself, like she had been the one ultimately forced to kill.
    “No. I think it was hidden on purpose. To keep such a thing from happening to this place again,” the Princess of Friendship explained, looking around for any sign of Fluttershy or Discord.
    After a few seconds of silent worry, the pair finally entered from the right. All the spots had been cleared from the yellow pegasus’ side and she looked happy as well as healthy. Almost immediately, all the ponies gathered around her; enveloping her in a gentle group hug. “We were so worried about you ‘Shy!” they exclaimed in unison before reluctantly releasing her. Watching all of this was Discord, a rather protective gleam in his mismatched eyes. While he couldn’t blame the mares for their enthusiasm, he wasn’t about to risk Fluttershy getting hurt so soon after being cured.
    It was only the approach of metal horseshoes that quieted the happy reunion. “I hope you all understand a bit better why we had to be so cautious. So many lives were lost due to my folly,” sighs a sad, kind voice while Princess Pi made her way to the center of the room. In unison, all the ponies were bowing; Discord included.
    “Of course. None of us had any idea,” Twilight explained, carefully meeting the taller monarch’s eyes.
    “Good. After all, this village isn’t really supposed to exist,” the changeling hybrid sighed, a tiredness clinging to her tone.
    “Still, enough about past woes. I believe you came here to get a cure for almost the whole of Equestria. A lot to ask of six ponies,” she continued, green eyes glimmering while a smile quirked her muzzle.
    “Its a good thing I have learned to disguise other ponies for long amounts of time,” she finished, waiting for her words to sink in. She wasn’t surprised.
    The others in the room went from confused to hopefully to overjoyed. “You mean... after all that happened, you’re still willing to help?” Starlight Glimmer whispered, clear disbelief coloring her voice.
    “Yes, after what you have shown me. How well you took care of both Flitterfang and Siabus helped give me hope. Maybe, one day, we can join the rest of Equestria. Until then, all of you are welcome back any time,” informed the hosting Princess, delight shining on her face.
    It had been a long time since she had felt this hope. Had even dared to dream that the misfits living here might someday be able to integrate into normal society. That they may even become considered normal over time. Still, it would be a long process and she was determined to ensure the safety of the ponies living here. “And I’m sure Princess Celestia would be okay with visitors from here too,” Twilight offered.
    “We’d also be willing to offer protection to any that feel they need it,” Rainbow Dash offered, flaring her wings defensively.
    Chuckling, Princess Pi trotted toward the group; ruffling the blue pegasus’ rainbow colored hair. “I appreciate that. Such an offer genuinely helps me feel better,” she giggled before a few disguised batponies came flying into the massive room.
    “All the flocks have given out the fruit for the cure,” informed the one in the lead while they changed back into a batpony.
    “Thank you. I’m sure we’ll have more visitors soon. Be sure to let them through peacefully,” she informed, smiling when she could already sense the two powers approaching at an alarming rate.
    Given the success of the group she had sent, Celestia was likely on her way with her sister to negotiate an agreement between their kingdoms. As much as she had longed for such recognition, she would have to insist on taking things slowly. There was also the fact she wanted to be involved in each step to ensure things went smoothly. Taking a seat, she smiled down at her much smaller guests. “Your own Princesses are on their way. I’m sure you will be happy to see eachother,” she announced, watching excitement ripple through them. Especially Twilight. The young alicorn’s relationship with her mentor was no secret and the budding princess fairly glowed with joy.
    “I’m so glad Princess Luna is alright. If anything had happened to her... I don’t even want to think of such a horrible thing,” she whispered, purple eyes filling with joyful tears.
    Making her way to the young mare, Princess Pi sat beside her fellow monarch; wrapping a dual wing around her. When she looked up, the hybrid simply smiled wider. “You don’t have to worry about such things now. If things go well, none of you will have to worry about it ever again,” assured the older equine. Before Twilight could respond, there was the sound of wings from the entrance. Turning her focus to that spot, the young ruler let out a gasp when she saw Celestia.
    Breaking free and rushing forward, she nuzzled the Princess of the Sun and the Princess of the Moon in turn. “You’ve done so well Twilight. All of you have. For decades, we’ve tried to make peace with this kingdom. Your efforts may have, at last, made it possible,” the tallest, white colored alicorn praised while her dark blue sister smiled mildly at the young pony she considered a trusted friend. After all, not many others would be willing to stay up with her all hours of the night, simply reading.
    “I’m just glad the cure works so quickly,” the youngest monarch whispered, humbly chuffing the marble floor with a hoof.
    The others soon join her, bowing at the arriving Princesses while their hostess comes up behind them. “We have a lot to talk about but we have all the time in the world to do so. For now, why not relax a while. Get to know my subjects before we make any alliances,” the hybrid offered, her large wings pressed to her sides. Nodding in agreement, the newcomers allowed their envoys to led them out of the palace. The moment they got outside, they were assaulted by all manner of young foals. Questions filled the air along with the sound of laughter. Soon, the entire group was escorted into the heart of the village by the children. One by one, families came out of their homes to greet the strangers. It isn’t long before more talking soon follows.
    All of the villagers are painfully curious about the world outside their protected bubble. To have such a rare opportunity to swap tales of adventures meant more than the world to them. Thankfully, the guests were more than willing to share. Each story was more fantastic than the next, easilly holding their audience’s attention for most of the day. It was with great reluctance that Princess Pi interrupted. While she could have allowed things to continue as they were, she had a feeling her guests were itching to go back to their own homes and they had much to discuss yet. Still, nothing was stopping them from doing it around her beloved subjects.
    A few moments later, Siabus and Mangoheart were sitting next to their Princess while the visiting monarchs began to discuss what an alliance would entail. From what they could see, all the terms were fair. “I would like to add a few addendums to the agreement. A two way portal between our kingdoms. At first only one visitor at a time will be allowed through. But maybe, with time, we can have more come through,” Pi suggested, getting enthusiastic nods from all gathered around.
    “For the time being, I’ll send two ambassadors with you just to get the ponies in Ponyville used to the idea of other pony species,” she continued serenely, her horn glowing a bright green.
    In a flash, a rip in space and time appeared right in the middle of town square. Nodding to eachother, both Luna and Celestia pressed the tips of their horns together; shooting a mixture of their own magic right into the middle of the opening. After some shimmering and shifting, the image of Ponyville appeared. “Siabus, Mangoheart, would you mind going with them? You may return any time you like but I want you to spend as much time around the other ponies as possible,” Pi asked while turning her head to look at the pair she was talking to.
    The foxpony was already on his feet, wagging his tail. The batpony, on the other hand, was frowning slightly. “You want me to leave my home, my people?” she hissed, bat wings flaring while she puffed up visibly.
    “Not permanently. As I have said, you may come back and forth as many times as you wish. I just want you to spend as much time in Ponyville as possible,” the half changeling responded, raising a delicate brow.
    Baring her fangs, Mangoheart fluttered her wings while her son trotted up to her side. Looking up at her with wide, crimson eyes, Flitterfang placed his front hooves on her shoulder. “Momma, didn’t the yellow one take good care of you when she thought you were me?” squeaked his scratchy voice. Looking down at the Prince of her people, the angry batpony deflated visibly.
    “Yes, yes she did,” sighed out of her as she bent to nuzzle her son’s cheek.
    Looking back up at her Princess, she narrowed her eyes before nodding. “I’ll go,” she spat bitterly. This, of course, caused loud cheering that made her grimace while her ears flattened. Her only solace was watching her son trot up to Fluttershy, only to have the yellow pegasus pick him up to coo at him. Despite all her misgivings, she had a feeling that everything would be alright. That, maybe this time her people would finally be able to come out of hiding. That her son would be able to attend school with ponies that were considered normal by others. Sighing, she simply shrugged before heading off to her home to start packing. Siabus, on the other hoof, was more than ready. In fact, he seemed about ready to drag the others through the portal. With or without Mangoheart. It was only Princess Pi’s admonishing gaze that forced the enthusiastic stallion to remain calm.
    By the time Mangoheart had returned with her son as well as their things, the foxpony was dancing around impatiently. To no one’s surprise, Pinkie was bouncing right along with him. Already, the pâtissier was rambling about the party she would throw to welcome the newcomers; insisting on inviting the whole of ponyville. Knowing it was useless to try to convince the pink pony otherwise, Twilight was smiling apologetically at the batpony Princess. Having expected this, the young monarch simply rolled her crimson eyes before walking through the portal; her son on her heels.
    Waving farewell to Princess Pi, the others followed suit. The moment they crossed back into Ponyville, they were greeted by the cheers of cured ponies. Not seeming to so much as care that the batponies were different, the crowd swept the newcomers up along with their saviors. It was not long before they were all involved in a massive party, Siabus being all too willing to introduce himself to everypony around him. In fact, his entire body seemed to be vibrating with excitement. While the road ahead of them would be long and winding, it looked like there was solid ground for a decent beginning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A Few Weeks Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Batponies and mothponies fluttered through the skies with the pegasus, seaponies populated the rivers, hippogriffs and kelpies wandered around with the normal citizens. While all of them were small in number, more and more were coming through the portal as time went on. So far, all the citizens of Ponyville had been very accepting of the foreign species. Especially the young ones. The Cutiemark Crusaders in particular had taken the visiting foals under their wing. They made sure none of the odd youngsters got picked on or singled out.
    Even the full grown visitors were fitting in well and making friends. Rainbow Dash and a mothpony by the name of Lightseeker had starting a friendly competition, racing through the skies at all hours. Fluttershy and a seapony named Rivercatch were involved in taking care of sick creatures that lived in the water. Rarity and a batpony called Honeycrisp were often busy consulting on dresses as well as accessories for the new clientele. Everyone was getting involved, making Twilight feel a burst of pride for her city.
    Watching all of this from her palace, Princess Pi felt a happiness that was bittersweet. If things kept going like they were, there would soon be no need to use her kingdom as a safe haven. While the ponies would always be allowed to live here, it would no longer be as closed off as it had been. Sighing as she closed her green eyes, she dissipated the magic that was allowing her to view what was happening. It was well beyond time to join her people in the square. Not to mention the fact she had to see to the building of new homes for the ponies from Ponyville who wanted to live here.
    Flaring her dual wings briefly, she made her way out of the room. Things had ended up much better than she could have ever dreamed. Maybe, over time, the more exotic of the ponies in her realm may be able to join in. Like the vampire bat ponies, the werewolf ponies, the púca or even the naga. All ponies that had gotten an unfair rap over the years and had long ago gone into hiding. While there were some bad ones in the bunch, they were often the exception and not the rule. Smiling brightly, she went down to join her subjects in the square. Some part of her felt a bit guilty for judging the rest of ponykind so harshly but, in the end, she felt like she had made the right choices. After all, what more could a ruler do than make the best decision they could for their people?
