Chapter 3

Celestia and Luna sat in the very room still; Celestia looking confused desperately trying to piece together what had just happened with two of her most trusted guards. Luna was pacing back and forth just a puzzled as her sister.

“They wouldn’t have run to me like that if their words were not absolutely truthful. But they could not have seen him out of his room, if his door had been left undisturbed.” Celestia’s tone showed just how puzzled she was, her words echoing throughout the chamber.

“We should think nothing of it, the two are troublemakers. It was probably all part of a plan to get the day off, and you just let them walk out of here.” Luna’s voice boomed, her not noticing how loud her voice was getting.

“Dear little sister, please calm yourself-…” Celestia’s words were cut abruptly off by Luna’s annoyed tone.

“Once again, your weakness as a leader has shone through. You deserve not to be a leader, and one day, you’ll get yours!” Luna was enraged at her sister’s mindless decision.

“Dear sister, this is no way for us to be treating each other. We have more pressing matters right now Luna.” Celestia’s voice was smooth as silk, and calming as a nice warm herbal tea.

Luna sighed, and looked down hopelessly, “I know, this is how we are without big brother…He kept us in check, we stayed out of each other’s faces because he wanted us to. I’m afraid my mind is wandering, please forgive any angered out bursts, my thoughts are battling themselves…”

Celestia smiled, “Do not worry dear Luna, we need to stick together if we’re going to rule together little sister.” Celestia spread her wing around her little sister to comfort her, which appeared to work as a smile spread across Luna’s face. “Anyways, it’s getting late, we must rest up. I’m sure it was just them being a bit tired. The whole thing will blow over by tomorrow.”

Luna smiled softly, “Yes sister, we shall return to our quarters and rest and discuss the situation more tomorrow.” Luna began to leave the room, but her mind was not set to put the situation to rest, she wanted to snoop around and see if anypony else was in on it, what she thought and avidly believed the two stallions did. She was out, for proof.

Celestia came in at her usual time to see if Luna was asleep, which she wasn’t but Celestia left with a smile as the light of the hall faded as Celestia slowly, and silently, closed the door behind her.

Luna arose from the bed and snuck out avoiding the guards the immediately outside her chamber and began snooping in the temporary quarters of the Royal Guards where they stay while protecting the princess, which Tenor and Treble have been for the past three weeks.

“I shall see what they’ve been up to, and prove to my dear sister how naïve she’s been.” She focused her magic upon the lock, when suddenly the door sprung open releasing a thick cloud of smoke and a burst of heat her eyes focused upon what was inside of the room… Fire

Luna ran about yelling as loud as her lungs would allow her to, “Fire, fire! We have a fire in the temporary quarters!”

Guards ran to her with massive amounts of concern, as Luna told them what she saw they took off down the winding corridor, only to return with a worried look on their face moments later.

“Pr-Princess Luna? Are you…uh…feeling okay?” The guards had an increasingly worried tone with her.

Luna looked dumbfounded into their eyes, and replied, “I am feeling fine! But the fire!”

The guards looked at each other worried, “Princess Luna…There was no fire from what we saw, the door was closed. It was completely undisturbed from how the other guards left it…Perhaps, you need some rest, I know controlling the moon and all has put a lot of stress onto you. Take some time for yourself…” The guards then walked off, leaving Luna completely dumbfounded in the castle’s main hall.
