The Equestrian Dragon: Moon Light
Chapter 2: Goodbye and Welcome to Equestria
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAlright, now I'm going to write the first chapter of this story. And, to those who lost one of their family in battle of a war, like WWII or in the Cold War, I'm sorry for stressing you for the way this chapter begins. As for why I rated this story K plus, is for season one doesn't show THAT much violence in the first half of the chapter, but in the later seasons the story will be rated T.

Destruction.
That was all there was for the outside of the city where the dragons lives. Human warriors firing weapons in order to shoot down dragons that strikes back the mankind. In the midst of the chaos, was a couple of a dragon and a dragoness. The female held a young dragon hatchling in one of her forepaws. The adult dragoness had purple scales, spikes that goes across her back to the end of her tail, a blade-shaped tail, wings that are the colour of her scales, violet eyes, a rich gold underbelly.
While the male had red scales, green spikes across his back, white underbelly, gray eyes, a tail that are shaped like a spiral.
The dragoness let out a terrified scream, speaking with her mouth instead of telepathy like the others of her kind do. "I refuse to let my hatchling die!"
"Sweetie, calm down. Our own warriors are doing their best to defeat the human army." Her mate told her calmly.
The dragoness glared at her mate. "How can I calm down when there's chaos everywhere? I won't let our only son die!" As she said that, she glanced at the small red scaled dragon in her paws.
Her mate putted a paw at her shoulder. "I know this is hard for you, it's also for me. I won't allow those humans kill our species to go extinct." That didn't much reassure his mate. She gave another glare.
"I don't want you to fight. I want you to help me save our child." She retorted. Her mate smiled.
"And I think I know the way." After he said that, the hatchling's mother blinked slowly.
"You do?" She asked with hope.
Her mate nodded. "Yes, but it is a very dangerous art. Something that was used in the ancient time of our ancestors."
"If it's the only way I can help save my son, then I'll do it." The dragoness had a determined look in her eyes as she said that.
"Are you sure?" Her mate asked, rather worriedly. "It is an art that nearly killed a dragon when it used it."
"I don't care. All I want to is get our son to a safe place." She gave a snarl at the first line, before having a softer stare when she looked at the small dragon in her paws.
"Alright, then." Her mate agreed slowly. The two dragons got into a safe building while the destruction and chaos continued out in front of the city. After they had gotten into the building, the male dragon took out something which held the teleportation art. "For using the art, however, one much have to stand still." His mate stood in the middle of the room while gently putting her only child on the floor, along with a picture of it, her and her mate, with a piece of paper in their ancient language, same with some blankets. The male dragon nodded as the dragoness walked over to him.
"Let's see if this works." She mumbled, clearly worried.
"Now, for sending our son to the safetest place." Her mate continued saying some things in a mutter, while as he was doing that, the small dragon in the middle of the room, was slowly glowing in a bright light, shape-shifting to a human baby. This wasn't being seen as the rest of the dragons was fighting the human warriors outside the gates to the city.
After the dragon hatchling was shape-shifted to its human form, it began to slowly vanish. This caused its mother to have extra worry, as her only child was being sent to a whole different unknown world. A world never-seen before in dragonkind's history. However, while the child was slowly disappearing, cries and screams of dragons outside of the building the two couple were in, was heard. The human warriors had been successful in infiltrating the city.
(In a far away land)
Princess Celestia was walking in the royal gardens, finally resting after the long day of Royal Court. As always, it was exhausting. Spoiled nobles complaining for stupid things. It was a torture, but she always gave more importance to the true problems of her nicest subjects. Now in the night, she was walking and enjoying her free time. But as always, she felt alone with nopony there with her, making her company. She couldn't even see her filly nephew and niece, Cadance and Blueblood, because they were already sleeping. She loved them very much since the day she became their godmother and brought them to live with her in the palace ever since their parents' acc... anyway, even though they gave her so much happiness, she knew something was missing in her life. It may be Luna who was still up there, waiting to finally get free and try to resume her plan of Eternal Night. Maybe what she needed was a lover, but that was nothing more than a dream. Until now, she never f ound somepony who loved her more than the crown or status. It broke her heart thinking she would end all alone forever, maybe it was a punishment for what she did to her sister hundreds years ago.
She was long in her thoughts when something got her attention. It was a noise, it was like if somepony was crying. It couldn't be odd for the fact it was sounded very close. She immediately flew to the source, it came from outside the palace, very close to the White Tail Forest. As she was getting closer, she saw many little animals and birds gathered around something.
A bright light that's crying? What's going on here? Celestia thought, clearly confused.
She got closer to the light and noticed the crying noise was coming from the light. After the light faded, and when she looked, she almost fainted to the ground.
"And I thought I'd had seen everything in my long life." She mumbled to herself.
She couldn't believe what she was staring at a creature that immediately stopped crying when it asw her. It stared back at her with wonder eyes, after some seconds, it gave Celestia the cutest smile she'd ever seen and raised its hands in an effort to touch her. Celestia felt how her heart figuratively exploded. This creature was strange, really strange! She even felt a very small wave of energy that seemed to becoming from the creature.
Energy? As in, dragon energy? Celestia thought, more confused by the small strange energy that was coming from the baby. But, she thought it was impossible.
The creature, looked like a furless monkey, but with no tail. She didn't know how, but she knew this creature was sapient and not an animal, and to be honest, it was kind of cute.
With much care and using the mother instincts she had with her little ponies, she used her magic to levitate the creature in front of her. By looking at him again, it was obvious he was still a baby and was a male. His little thing confirmed for her. She giggled a litte. Without a warning, the baby hugged her face and started to nuzzle it. She had to use all her force to not faint for a cute overdose. She placed the baby in her hooves and started to cradle him. After a few minutes, he was sleeping with a little smile on his face.
By this moment, Celestia was crying. There was too many emotions in her mind, but one remained the most: sadness. Who would leave such a cutie there all alone? Just the thought of it made her furious. He may not be a pony - since he had small dragon energy in him - or any any creature anypony had seen before. But that wasn't an excuse to let him here: he could have DIED! She searched the ground to see if she could find something else, something to help her understand this cutie's origins. After some minutes, she found a photo with three creatures in it. One wasn't like the baby she had in her hooves, since it was a dragon hatchling, and the other two were dragons but was grown-ups. It was easy to deduce they were his parents. Celestia then calmed down a little. There was no way these dragons would abandon their son like this, the next thing she found a piece of paper. She tried to read it, but it was written in an ancient language she never saw before. Maybe it explained how the baby ended up alone. She tried to use a translator spell, but it didn't work since it was ancient. That meant this was definitely a language not known in Equestria or any country she knew. At that moment, it was obvious this baby was not from these lands. He had to be from a very far land. Maybe he was from another world.
Clestia giggled at her own silliness. An alien... yeah right.
Already accepting the fact that she would never know how he ended up there, she started to think what to do with him. She thought about the Canterlot's orphanage but really, without a doubt he could be bullied or worst rejected, or killed. She immediately wrapped him in the blankets he was in and flew to her palace.
Caring for the little package in her hooves, she did her best not be seen by any of her royal guards. When she reached her room, she placed the baby on her bed and just stared at him while he was sleeping. She smiled, but contrary to many smiles she gave to her subjects in her courts. She was honestly smiling thsi time. it was really rare smiling like that, at least since she sent Luna away.
"Now, what should I do with you?"
The baby just kept sleeping and making cute noises.
Celestia giggled. "I guess you're stuck with me, aren't you? Would you like to live with me here in Canterlot?"
A snore was a response.
"I'll take that as a yes. Welcome to Equestria..." Celestia remembered she didn't gave him a name. How should she name this creature?
Suddenly, the baby woke up and looked at her with a smile. The night-like sparkle in his yes inspired Celestia to think the perfect name for him.
"As I was saying. Welcome to Equestria, Moon Light."
And the chapter is finished. So, this is how the story is going to be, with Moon Light as the protagonist of the story.
Time to answer the reviews of the last chapter.
Dragonblaze66: If you don't get the point of this, then just consider it as a semi-crossover between American Dragon: Jake Long and My Little Pony.
Guest: Well, I'm glad you thought of that. As for the description, I hope this chapter helps with the name of the main character (as does the name in the title says). And, for the land of ponies, not in place where the spin-off movies goes.
Please, review/favourtie/follow, your choice.
Until then my friends!
