Chapter 2

Just as the lullaby ended I saw a flash on my flank moon flare was the only one up she looked at my flank and nearly squealed with joy “you have your cutie mark nightingale”, “what” I respond surprised and there I see on my flank a music not in a light silvery crescent moon with a small star next to the music and on the outside diagonally from the small star was a bigger one. Cool wait look up moon flare says excitedly I look up to see stars “I thought you put those out” I said “well yea I did but look there’s shooting stars” “wait I said do you think I did that” “I’m sure of it” moon flare said with a smile “just wait till the others see’’ I shake my head and pointed to the others who were fast a asleep. “Oh ok” Moon flare says “still pretty awesome though’’ I smile and lay down “night moon” “night NG” she responded I shifted my head and looked at the moon before saying “good night mother”.

I woke hearing hooves I look up to find Celestia I gasped and woke moon flare she saw Celestia too we got into a defensive position. “what do you want” moon flare said with a snarl. Celestia smiled gently “please moon flare I’m not going to hurt you” she said calmly “then what did you do to our mother “I replied I felt hatred in my heart as I looked at her. Celestia went stiff and quiet I knew I struck home” I… I” all she did was stutter I knew that she regret what she did. “Come on spit it out” moon flare said I could hear the anger and hatred in her voice too. Celestia let alone tear roll down her face as she looked at us I sigh “please” I say in a pleading tone. ”please tell us” I heard fear and sadness in my voice, “I b… banished her to the moon” Celestia said crying now.

What I felt in my heart ached if hurt it felt like someone ripped out my heart, “no” I whisper “no no no no” my voice was getting higher and more distressed “ no your lying” I said backing away with fear in my voice and tears streaming down my face. Moonflare walked next to me “she can’t be in thy moon” she said her voice  shaking I knew that moon flare always tried to be strong but I could heart the distress and plead in her voice. Celestia had an expression on her face that looked like it was a mixture of regret sadness and anger I could guess she felt like she killed some pony. It was true it felt like she killed me and my family “I’m … I’m sorry “she said stuttering before wailing the sorry part.

Now all of my siblings are up looking confused but there was still sadness in their eyes. I knew she was telling the truth moon flare and I leaned into each other crying the others joined us crying and wailing for our dear mother begging for her to come back. Night shade who must have heard everything stood in front of me and moon flare “you” he began rage in his voice “you are a monster” he yelled “you took away our mother you hurt my family mother wasn’t the monster you were”. Celestia began to back away wide eyed with tears streaming down her face “please listen to me I’m sorry” she said begging us “I know it’s my fault”. I looked up and walked to her “Celestia why couldn’t you have shared the limelight with mother all she wanted was to be appreciated for her night we have been the only way she could feel appreciated because we loved her night”. Celestia sighed “I should have seen the signs” I sighed all of my hatred leaving “I forgive you” I said “how could you forgive me” Celestia said “because” I reply “you're not a bad pony you just a good pony that made a bad decision” she looked down at me and smiled “please come with me to the castle”. I look at my siblings and reply “ok”

Celestia took us to a large carriage with the sister’s emblems star shine was still crying, indigo wind put a wing on her back “don’t worry’’ she said in her smooth and calm voice just then we are escorted by guards to Canterlot. I had never been in Canterlot i hadn't even heard of the place but when I saw it I gasped its huge Celestia sitting with moon flare and I smiled “the city has just been built so its very new i planned for it to be equestrias new capitol” i nodded “to day you will come to the castle” celestia announced to my siblings no one seemed very happy though even celestia looked a down..

As we arrived we had a lavish bath. I looked out of the window everyone was really tired still so we decided to go to bed Celestia was in the room “nightingale please I think it’s time for bed” she called to me I nod. As I snuggled into the warm bed as Celestia began to sing a sweet lullaby I closed my eyes slowly hearing the rhythmic song.
