Chapter 3 - Linked books

------|Ponyville hospital|------ 

"Cidiem, tell me what have you gone trough." Once again, my attempt to make Lady Laufenas voice. 

Everything went silent for a second, anyhow Cidiem immediately burst out to laughter. "What are you trying to do? It was impossible to mimic her voice, just give up." Fold began to form between her eyebrows, it says everything. 

I told her "I start to realized we won't came from the same universe, kid." She respond with "You right, we don't came from the same universe. But how do you know about hers? She do exist in yours?" I hesitates for several seconds, i began doubting myself. "T'is wilth spoil everything." 

"Little one, perhaps you haven't heard bout the truth. But your greatma was cease of her original self, everything but none of her true self. In other words, she's just a copy created by her true self. But she was still herself after all. Even with just a fraction of her true self, she was still Laufenas Tempest i know. Even if we was separated for 20 millenia." Soon tears run down from her cheeks, she hang into me and start sobbing. Finally find someone to hang into with familiarity, make me happy. 

"What's wrong little one?" I said in much calmer tone, but i immediately realized. So i rub my hoof against her head "Don't worry little one, you will always be lady Laufenas little filly." Her grief able to inflict an unbearable emotional impact on others, but i shrug it off even tho my heart refuse to stop the impact. 

I felt a melting sensation on Cidiem's hug, but there was no ice on that little hooves. "I guess, kid is still a kid after all." 

"Don't worry little one, i wilt be with you for the rest of my life in this world." Swore oath from Empress's direct decendants was one of the most honorary thing to do, but to empress's whole lineage was a honor for life to serve. 

"M'lady, how may i serve you?" I acknowledge the thing, i can't live without order thus make me just a mere command weapon. Now that i have partially change my oath, it would be that way. 

I check on her bloody dry bandage, the injury was no longer an open wound. "Just as i thought." Thus i ask the Doctors about her current condition, yet they equally suprised about this healing rate. 

"I have set a shelter, perhaps we shall go there at your permission." She nod in silent while still sobbing. 

"Pardon me, let me take her cloak. We're leaving." I also return Cidiem's patient clothes to the counter and proceed to get into my hut. 

------|Sun style Hut(Veyrl's hut)|------ 

Her grief was subsided, still a little sobbing aftermath. Remind me of myself, a little helpless filly. 

"Welcame to ug- My apologies. I tend to break out of my character, thus rune filled shelter. Only needed to insert a little magic to activate the system, place your hoof on the symbol." I said to Cid when we went back hut. She did try this out, and it succesfully activated. 

"Splendit young master! Perhaps your first rune to be activated?" She implied with "Whoa, how did that happen?" Which i replied with "T'is was a rune, specialized for an activation of a whole system." 

"So, i just need to insert a little magic to the symbol right?" She ask for clarification which i just nod, she began running into shower room. I don't usually see that action on my world exept for imperial family on their unseriousness.

Once they lock in, they are an unstoppable force. 

While Cid took a shower, i began thinking. 'Perhaps the thing that bring her here was.' I gasped "Near death experience, too obvious." 'I don't felt any danger, but something else.' i hardly recall the thing, likely not important. 

I realized my strain of muscle getting really stiff recently. Thus, i began to rise from my seat. Walking to the back of this hut, start to do my weekly exercise. 

------|Backyard|------ 

I do have these around and yes, even a shackle of weight. The heaviest was 100 kg for the shackle, i recently attempt but only got as 168 kg. Because how much the combination i have to write in. 

"I believe this was heavy enough." I put on two of these bad boys on each of my limbs, thus make me a little heavier. This was curse of weight i put on these shackles just for your information. 

------[10 minutes have passed]----{3rd POV}------ 

Cid, step out of the shower room, completely soaked in water. She reached for already existing towel on the wall, without forgetting to turn the rune system off. Rub the towel against all parts of her body, rendering them clean. 

She heard a clear ringing noise from back of the hut, her curious self took over. 

It was Veyrl, moving at an impressive speed. Doing an explosive drills with the reps getting faster each time, Vey notice Cid was looking at her behind the paper slide door.

Vey stop for a moments. "Cid, you better quickly wore your clothes before you got a nasty cold." Before zips to her daily drills again, no odors have smelled whatsoever. 

------[09.00]------ 

"M'lady, i am going to one of my friend." Vey said, which Cid quickly respond with "Can i go there too?", Vey put out a smile "Sure thing M'lady." 

They came to Caourosel boutique, and said "Greetings good lady, what was your project this time?" Rarity came out of her room, still not expecting anypony to enter. "Oh, Vey. You always suprised me, and who's this little fella?" While her eyes focused at Cid, totally baffled by her beautiful gene. 

"She was one person i familiar with, i am sure they are relatives to each others." Rarity was just fascinated by this statement, further be more spirited than she already was. 

"Farewell then, let's get started!" She began to quickly calculate each part of Cid's body, from wingspan to head size. And agressively cutting with precise, helped by quickhoofed Veyrl. The dress was done in less than an hour. 

"Phew, that was quick." Said Rarity, clearly impressed with how quick Vey's work. "Where did you learn that quick? The materials needed, seems like you read my mind trough something." 

Vey respond "I have been looking at your ways of making these dresses, your flow of magic also indicates a bit of control before you lift it." Which impress Rarity about how quick do Vey doing all of this.

"I recall clearly that some of our folks isn't that fast at doing things, but you see it before it coming. Are you by any chance a special individual in your world?" 

Vey rub her own head with her hoof, let out a single sigh. "Perhaps you could say so, but i am not that special on my world. It was just a basic military training. No more, no less." 

Rarity's pupil shrank, knowing all of her session was part of Vey's training. "So, you have been using me for training this whole time? Wow, that's impressive. I have ever see anypony do that in my entire life not even on my workplace, maybe you could teach me some tricks?" 

"Mares, sorry for interrupting your gossip. May i left my position now? It begin to get more sore here." Cid cut the girls chattery, visibly shaking. 

Rarity the first to respond "Oh, forgive me darling. I forget, you may leave your position now. I am really sorry for that, is anything hurt?" Cid reply with "No, just a little sore over my hoofs. No big deal. Besies, i glad the work is done." 

Rarity walks Cid to the mirror. A carefully made dress with several zipper in it, the crimson colouring was clever. This give Vey a little Deja-fu "Huh, you are quite an expertise on matching her coat with the dress. Interesting." 

"Is that kind of insult, or a praise? What do you think about it anyway?" Rarity raise one of her eyebrows, pull her lips to the side. 

"Looks familiar, give me sense of nostalgia." Once more, Vey gave her apathetic face but quickly seal it away with a smile. "Uhm, Vey. Is anything wrong? You terrify the hay out of me, what is that smil-" Rarity fall to the floor, unconcious. 

"Huh? Uhh, rarity?" She check on rarity, she blacks out from Veyrl's unnatural smile. 

"Vey, maybe you do it too often. It kinda terrify me too, how did you do that?" Cid start to lose her feather because of this. "I don't intend to do this, but "her majesty" make me do this everytime." 

"Really? I don't know she was this harsh, what did she do to you?" Making Vey bite her own lips, "No more than boss and their subordinate relationship, or more like i have to do her very rule every day. Quite opressing if you ask me, but it shapes who i am." 

"I guess enviroment do shapes an individual." 

"You got me there." 

.

------[5 minutes later]----{Veyrl's POV}------ 

"Hey, you finnaly awake. Quite fast for a regular pony who knocked out cold by herself, how bout your mental condition now?" Her face still in utter disbelief, still don't know how she easily faints out. 

"Ugh, i have already told you. Don't do that face again! Well, atleast in front of me!" Her face shouts anger, i mean whats wrong with my face? My expression isn't that bad. Maybe there was another reason, perhaps having something to do with magic. 

"Alright, i promise. This is the last time, but you also need to be emotionally capable too. Alas, more ready for my upcoming burst of expression." I tried to make no expression at all, she had no longer faints. "Farewell then, take your leave. Also Cid, you can keep the dress." 

"Wait, really?" Cidiem demand for confirmation, which Rarity just nod thus confiming the ownership of thine dress. Cid came to me and i said this to Rarity "My pleasure for helping, thus let us take our departure. O, one thing master Cid." I took her old cloak with me. 

"Wait wha-" Then the caurosel doors closed, muffling Rarity end sentence. 

------|Sun style Hut|----{3 days later}------ 

"You can already fly?" I said in suprise. 

"Yea, kind of. Maybe i need to test it out." I don't like this bold act. Too risky, she better test it slowly. 

"Alright then, perhaps atempt it outside. I'll be grateful to accompany." I felt hesitant to let her, but i don't want to limit her growth.
