I then finally gained control of my body and sat up before Lothor started to attack again. He shot another lightning bolt but I raised my hand and it disappeared instantly. Lothor stopped and looked at me surprised and I levitated out of Sythyon's arms and landed onto the stone path in front of him. Everyone froze and my eyes and forehead stopped glowing, but the diamond stayed still as a mark on my face.
I smiled at Lothor. "Thank you for returning my power." Lothor's eyes widened and I realized what I just did. 'I just used magic! And I knew exactly how to do it!' I thought. I also noticed that both new and familiar memories from when I was a unicorn came back as clear as possible, and that magic was radiating through every corner of my body.
Lothor's surprise then melted away and turned back into anger. He then shot a lightning bolt right at me but it quickly disappeared without me doing anything. His anger faltered a little and he shot again and again. Every time, the bolt disappeared right before it hit me.
I then started to walk towards him and he took a few steps back continuing to fire. "What the hell do you want??!!" He yelled and stopped firing catching his breath. I stopped walking as well and turned back around, seeing everyone still frozen in shock at the fact that I was using magic. I smiled again. "I need a moment alone with him." After I said that, I raised my hands again creating a large white orb around me and Lothor.
The orb was set in place so we had privacy. Lothor didn't seem to care until he tried to attack again. This time, nothing came out of his palm no matter how hard he tried. He tried again and nothing happened. "What the hell?! What did you do to me?! Why can't I use magic?!" I gestured to the orb around us. "This is a peace orb. While we're inside it no violence can be had between us."
I was honestly a little freaked out at how much information I knew now and how easily I could cast spells. It was like Alathera was a part of me again, and all of her power was regenerating. Lothor glared at me, though I could tell he was confused. "What? But aren't you trying to kill me?!"
I shook my head. "Unicorns never use their magic to harm others." Lothor realized I was right and gave me a suspicious look. "Then... What are you planning to do? Why do you want to be alone with me?" I then walked up in front of him and he stepped back uneasy. I looked into his eyes. "I want to show you something." I then put my hand on his forehead and it started to glow white. I wanted to show him who he used to be. Lothor's eyes started to glow white as well and I sent all the memories from the thirty years of happiness me, Sythyon and Lothor had together back when I was a unicorn.
His expression shifted into pain and he clenched his fists. "Ahh!! Stop it!!" I then showed him all the bad things he'd done in his life and he screamed louder. "AHHHH!!! Let me go!!! I can't take it anymore!!! STOP!!!"
I then released him and he fell to his knees. He covered his face with his palms and continued to yell. "What could you possibly hope to gain from showing me that?!" I then kneeled in front of him. "Why are you in pain? Does that mean you regretted the things you've done?" He uncovered his face angry again but new waves of tears were escaping his eyes as he shouted.
"Of course I did!! There! Is that what you wanted to hear??!! I'm the reason I lost everything! I'm the reason my life is horrible and worthless! And I'm the reason because violence is the only thing I know how to do!!!" He started to hyperventilate and stopped yelling holding back his sobs as best as he could. "I-If I had just let my jealousy go, I-I might've still had a family... Or if I at least had just m-moved on with my life when I was banished, m-maybe Dagger would've still been..."
He covered his face again but this time his anger was gone and there was only sadness. I tried not to cry as I saw Lothor break down in front of me, and I couldn't stop myself from wrapping my arms around him as he continued to sob. He didn't react to me and I held him tight.
A big part of me didn't know why I even cared for Lothor in the slightest after everything he did to me and Sythyon, but the part that still saw him as one of my best friends was so much louder. I knew that he would probably betray me again once we left the orb, but I just wanted one last hug before we had to go back to reality again. We stayed there for awhile until Lothor caught his breath long enough to speak again. "Alathera, I'm s-so sorry..."
Tears started to escape my eyes hearing him say that. "...It's okay... You didn't lose everything. I'm still here no matter how much you hurt me..." I couldn't believe what happened next. Lothor slowly moved his hands away and wrapped them around me returning my hug. I felt so much happiness as he did that, that another wave of tears fell down my cheeks.
I then pulled away and Lothor looked down catching his breath. I smiled again and took his hands. "You didn't lose Sythyon either..." Lothor shook his head. "Don't lie. Of course I did..." I held his hands tighter. "Why do you think he hasn't killed you yet? Just an arrow can't take away his ability to win a fight." He raised his head to meet my gaze. "...What are you saying?" I tilted my head. "I'm saying that maybe he doesn't want to lose you. Though he definitely does want beat the hell out of you."
A ghost of a smile appeared on his face but it quickly went away. He then looked down again. "That doesn't mean that he'd be able to forgive me. I've done so many horrible things..." I then stood up bringing Lothor to his feet with me.
"That's the thing about being immortal. It's never too late to change." He looked back to me and let go of my hand to wipe the tears from my face. "You're too loving and forgiving to exist in this world Silvera." I didn't know what he meant by that but I smiled anyway. I then let go of his other hand and made the orb we were in disappear. The others looked up noticing and Sythyon came to me quickly. "Are you alright?"
I nodded and Sythyon's gaze fell to Lothor. Lothor looked away sadly and spoke. "...I'm sorry Sythyon." Sythyon's eyes widened and Lothor met his gaze and continued. "I'm sorry for everything I did to you. And I'm sorry I couldn't be the brother you needed me to be."
