Remember

Turquoise Blitz carried Anastasia on his giant wings while Peridot Flame ran around his legs.

"Y'know it's much harder to get there is you're in my way. It'll take longer," their father chuckled.

Peridot stared up at him and with a little snort he walked calmly at the green dracony's heels. They walked up a smooth hill dotted with green flowers. The filly on T's back began pushing him in an attempt to get down.

He smiled and let his daughter down, "Alright Annie. Here we go."

She giggled, sliding down his long wing and into the field of flowers. Anastasia babbled happily, picking up and playing with the plants. After awhile her father lifted her again to continue their trek up the hill. His daughter clung to as many flowers as she could hold in her tiny hooves, dropping several before they made their way to a flatter area. T let Anastasia down and he say with her. In front of more green flowers was a gravestone titled "Anthea"

"You two know about Oasis and Apollo's mother?" he questioned his foals, "Did I tell you about Anthea?"

"Yeah dad, like a million times." Peridot remarked sitting beside his father.

His father pulled Anastasia closer to him before she wandered away, "There's more to her than that. She was a beautiful unicorn mare. A pale pink coat and a gorgeous green mane. She had blue eyes but even though she was blind she was an amazing pony. You're named after her Anastasia. Everypony called her Annie too. Her disability never stopped her from being a successful and a great mother. That's why Oasis and Apollo are so great, heheh. She was your mother's best friend too. But after she died I eventually came to your mother. Part of me wishes she had never died but if that didn't happen you two wouldn't be here and I wouldn't have married Nidra."

Peridot stared at T, "Wow...Are you okay Dad?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," T ruffled his son's mane but tears were forming in his eyes, "They really need to fix this thing up though. It's all cracked. Nothing like that radiant mare. It still feels like she's here sometimes. Oh, Annie..."

The hybrid bit his lip to fight back the tears but he couldn't stop them. As they streamed down his face he smiled, staring at the gravestone as if he could still see the gentle pony that he loved.
