"I'm sorry"
The familiar voice rang out in the silence, the pain of a throbbing headache pounded in the colt’s head.

Slowly, the shining light of the lamp hit the eyes of the unicorn - he grunts awake, pushing himself to sit up in his bed.

He looked around to gather where he was, soon figuring hes in his room. "What the…" He moved his hoof to his face to hold his head up from the headache. As he did, he noticed a golden yellow star on his hoof. As he lifted his hoof up higher to get a look at them better, the reflection of the mirror across the room caught the colt’s attention instead. He squinted at the mirror, hoping to get a better look.

"What the shit?" He said loudly, getting out of his comfortable bed to look in the mirror. Pain shot through his body, the wounds on his back aching like hell. He grunted and stumbled from the pain, but managed to get to the mirror.

His hair was disheveled and messy, deep eyebags darked his eyes. He examined his image more, realizing his right eye has become a pale yellow star shape, rather than the magenta colour it was previously. Hoofsteps quickly echoed in the hallway outside of his door. He quickly covered his right eye with his dark hair, looking at the door with slight worry, waiting for whoever was about to barge their way in.

A tall purple alicorn entered into the room, her hair up into a messy bun, her face showing no signs of sleep in days. "Oh thank Celestia youre okay!" she exclaimed, running up to the small colt and embracing him with a hug "I was so worried about you Shooting Star"

The colt grimaced in pain, pushing his mother back away from him, in which she looked at him with slight worry. A gray unicorn stood at the door, watching the interaction. "Twilight, take it easy, he just woke up"

"I know, I know…" She sighed, stepping a few steps back, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"What happened to me?" the young colt looked at his parents, hoping they could explain a bit of what happened as everything was a blur to him.

"We were hoping to ask you the same thing," Sombra said, glaring at Shooting Star

"I don't… Remem-…" suddenly, a loud bell sound rang in his head with a flash of light in his eyes. He grunted in pain, holding his head "-ber…" He looked at the ground with tired eyes, the memories becoming more clear.

"That's okay Star, we can discuss it later when you arent in so much pain" Twilight assured her son. "Get some more rest, Ill come check on you here in a bit" The alicorn guided him to his bed.

Sombra huffed, and walked away - Leaving Twilight in the room. "I'll go talk to him… Hes just a bit on edge right now" She smiled softly, going to brush the hair out of the unicorn's face with her hoof.

Her hoof came close to his face, which he almost let her do - but before she could - the memory of the tall figure along with the words “You are not worthy” boomed in his thoughts. Panicked, he knocked her hoof away, quickly flipping over so he back was towards his mother, not saying a word.

She sighed and turned the lamp off as she walked out of the room, leaving Shooting Star alone to his memories and his thoughts.
