Chapter 20 - Good Friend

Held up a season competition, on the Sweet Apple Acres. Perhaps another line from what would called a true crackle upon friendship, perhaps sparking a Pantheon awakening. 

"Seriously, din't need to make whole shakespearan with your first draft." 

Here lies, two rainbow heads mare approaching S.A.A. via aerial travel. One with scrambled mane and one with a mantle and organized mane, yet have the copy of each other's personality. 

There waiting two orange mare, one with robe and one with western hat on her head. 

"Whatever, you are not convinced." There are always attempts with different outcomes, yet this outcomes is far from the expectation. The orange mare with hat notice the rainbow heads mare, thus she went to the same direction two rainbow heads mare went. 

"Whatever, i'll move along." 

Mare with robe approach the neat rainbow head, start up a conversation. 

"AlterD. , you are not interested in Iron Pony Competition?" 

Neat rainbow head invest her atention to the mare with robe "No, Dash just want a support. So i'm here, what leave you asking? After all, you are the Fount of Knowledge." 

"Nothing, just to start a conversation." Both of them sat on the hay near Iron Pony Competition, rainbow head chuckles, "How is this a normal conversation, not suitable for you at all." 

Fount of Knowledge whisper "I feel you still have that shackles on your neck, a mere pawn of someone who own you." 

Rainbow head gaze turn intense after this chain of words, put wrinkles on her face. "Don't you dare to dig that, my life will be in line if you-" 

Fount of Knowledge put the rainbow head silent, "Please, your loyality does not came from your heart." 

Rainbow head shed a bunch of tears, the first time ever anypony realise her long lasting shackles of opression. "Just let it all out, put all of your life regard aside and pour it all into the ground." The sadness cast is mere Monday for the Fount of Knowledge, she was opressed the moment she have access to multiversal knowledge. 

"I don't understand why you keep that hope of yours uphigh, this place is not going to invite anypony." For her determination is as high as ever, even for a medium malnourished condition. 

She kept her mind and mouth shut, being the silent one for the sake uf multiverse. 

This keep happen until her hope became reality, thus make her truly free from this shackles. Weak but full of relief, the prison keeps her in check with all of her magic being syphoned from and far too weak to even being used. 

"I am sorry, you have been trough much worse." 

"Worry not." Fount of Knowledge's face turn serious, she step back from Rainbow Head and vanish to light. Not saying any words, putting rainbow head on pure change. 

She rub her neck, no longer there are carved submission rune. She continue to shed tears, noticed by no one. 

"Thanks, whatever you do now." 

She continue to watch the competition, while silently play boomerang. As she threw the boomerang to the ground upon it back to her. 

Now it was the lasso, she cleverly imitate Jack on the moves. Left her counterpart jealous, her ego isn't that high after all. 

Tho Jack have a decent shot, she fails to finish the trick and once again both rainbow heads able to control the movement. Left Jack in awe. 

"Huh, not as hard." 

Rainbow did nothing on this turn but watching her counterpart crushed by a hay, chuckles for poor Dash. Both of them have a rather intense score but Jack score this time despite the close distance. 

Once again, Rainbow did nothing on the wrestling but watch. Dash overpower Jack with suprisingly good force, doing it rather easily. 

For the football kick, she threw a frizbee and catch it by herself upon this boring match. Until push up she did this, and Fount of Knowledge appear from thin light. This make Rainbow threw the frizbee to the Fount of Knowledge, of course she was aware. 

She put the frizbee at 0 velocity under a single spin, threw it back at Rainbow. 

Rainbow catch it, she reach 0 altitude and mutter "Thank you, that mean i must no longer serve them right?" Fount of Knowledge nod, but "Your sin is kept hidden, better you keep it hidden like i do." 

A stroke uf huge guilt put her head in pain, the rest of her eyedrop is empty. Fount of Knowledge pour water to Rainbow's head, reasonable indeed. 

"Not easy to take away that guilt, remove it impossible unless you have memory erasing magic which is forbidden." The pain drive Rainbow into this deep reconsider, her movement was restricted by the Fount herself with magic bound. 

"No, it is not the answer. You must went trough it, we all have went trough the same." Rainbow can only grit her teeth, unable to resist. 

Now came the silent one, she walk with blade of hers. "The butcher is here, your method is not the answer neither!" Silent Butcher walk into Rainbow, the smell of iron totally stinks. 

Silent Butcher put her blade on the ground, dropping tears as Rainbow suffer from the guilt. 

"That is how life is, painful indeed. I guess you only want everyone to be happy, but your approach is not pony would." The Fount face went serious, she said "Life worth more than happiness, it can be seeked but life cannot." 

Silent Butcher pause, the Fount said "You cannot stand a contradiction, then be less kind. You can act more freely that way." 

Silent Butcher hold no grudge and only being grateful for the happiness she gave, as she definitely capable to end the Fount if she didn't have any magic or tricks left. 

"Like to remove your speech curse too?" The butcher suprised, she decline. Putting her blade on the sheathe, seeing Rainbow hesitate. 

The Butcher left without a word into the score board her counterpart operate, 3 of them no- 4 of them are likely bring their counterparts with themself. There is big chance Blank canvas appearing, although her coat was pink. 

"I bet Blankpie present here, dragged here by force." Too obvious for Fount of Knowledge to say that, "Isn't it too obvious, you are the Fount of Knowledge after all." 

The Fount found this unamusing, she can barely put herself together like this. Walking while shaking for her life, the possibilities make her too aware. Cling to a single living branch of sanity, yet the floss keep resetting the timer. 

"It is a heavy burden, i never want this. I want to release it, but the responsibilities only make me rethink my descision." Blank Pie spot them both, her face turn to a smile for no reason. 

Rainbow suprised, "I thought she cannot felt emotion, but why is she smiling?" 

"She cannot, just imitate and do it while she can." Blank Pie stomp the ground rapidly, "Fount of Knowledge you really are, tell me your problem." 

"You, don't fix all things by your image. It is out of your control." The Fount found this odd, considering there is no such line on the Ocean of all Knowledge. "Wha, but how?" Rainbow face drop upon she find The Fount finnaly speak her question, The Blank Pie only smile and narrow her eyes. 

The Fount find this interesting, Blank Pie can bypass the knowledge's grasp. "Oh, i understand. I might consider that for a while." 

"How did you manage-" Blank Pie shut Rainbow, she let The Fount figure this out herself. And she did, a bypass nullifier developed. "Thank you for your hint at my error, first time to be corrected." 

Remind Rain of something, as she went silent and put an interest on Dashie. "Is she okay?" 

The Fount state "Just feeling bunch of regret, realisation and guilt." 

"Alright then, moving to the next one." 

"Both of you cannot make it!" 

"Sure, but we'll find out who's best!" 

They oth moving aside the stoned Rein, she snap out of her daymare. "There is no use at being loud, isnt it?" 

"Try your best to not kill yourself out of grief, that is just make them worse." 

"Okay, i might reconsider it."
