DIV-174: Milky Way

Milky Way was a normal grifix in the village, all until one day when she met a unicorn who was strangely  able to see and interact with the grifix. Their name was Andromeda, and they even befriended Milky Way. Fascinated by the grifix’s magic, they asked her to help them with study, and so they spent a lot of time together. Not long after that, Milky Way fell in love with the unicorn, and thought the unicorn was in love with her too. One day, she sighed:
“If only we were of the same species, and could have a baby together…”
The unicorn was struck by the idea: that would have been the peak of grifix magic understanding. All species breaded the same way, but the Grifix breaded through magic: could they manage to find a spell to make their magic compatible with the Grifix magic, and create a functional egg?
The idea became to obsess them. They spent days and nights trying to find a way. The only thing that did to the Grifix was make her even more convinced that the unicorn loved her. And she started loving the unicorn more and more. She was convinced that the unicorn did that for her. And if they made all that effort for her… it meant that she was the only thing Andromeda cared for.
One day, the unicorn came to the Grifix with a spell. It seemed to be all perfect. The magic looked exactly like the grifix’s, and so they managed to form a perfect, seemingly healthy egg. Milky Way was overjoyed, and her love for the unicorn grew even bigger. There was no doubt that the unicorn loved her more than anything in the world - she thought.
But her joy was soon to be crushed, as the egg hatched. The baby inside it was deformed, hardly resembling the traits of a grifix. It was sick and his gems were cracked. Milky Way stared in shock at her baby, hugging it desperately.
But the unicorn looked at it emotionlessly.
“What could’ve gone wrong… well… I guess not all experiments come out perfect from the first try. I’ll have to review the spell, we’ll try again later.”
The grifix’s eyes emptied as she heard those words. The whole world around her was crushed.
“E… experiments?” She whispered, waiting for a comforting answer from the unicorn, but the unicorn just walked away, sunk in their thoughts, without hearing a thing.

That night, Milky Way left the pony settlement, returning to the Grifix village, the first time after a couple years in which she lived with the unicorn. She realized that there was no love in the unicorn’s heart. They had no heart. They never cared for her. She, as well as her baby, were nothing but experiments for the unicorn.
Back in the village, she raised her baby alone. She could never love again, after the way she’d been crushed.
