Abohaty's P.O.V

The tree fell over and erupted into flames after a large blast from my horn. Dusk Shine stomped his hooves as I panted heavily. This was day three of me practicing spells and fighting against Dusk Shine. I lost all three times, but he said I was getting better at least. I never understood how he was so strong and knew a lot of spells. Nom Nom was really great at picking out high advanced stallions, I wonder where he came from.

Dusk Shine cleared the fire using his magic and then flipped to the next page of the spell book.

"I think we should stop here, the sun is starting to set anyways," he told me. I took a glance at the orange sky that slowly began to turn purple as we were walking our way back to the castle. As we walked back, I began thinking about how I don't really know anything about Dusk Shine. I just know that that's his name. And it's kinda sad...

"Hey Dusk Shine, where are you from?" I asked out of the blue.

"Canterlot," he answered, still looking forward.

"Really? Because for someone advanced as you are, I'd think I saw you around. I used to live there for a few years."

"Well, I don't like going out much. I'm a pretty isolated pony."

"I see..." I said.

We were now out of the forest and back in the town where most ponies were already inside their homes. I greeted the ponies who were still outside as me and Dusk Shine walked past them. Dusk Shine still kept his head up and looked forward. He didn't even seem pleased by the ponies' warm greetings. I nudged him. "Is it that hard to wave hi?" He didn't respond though. It was clear that I annoyed him with my simple question, so I kept my mouth shut the rest of the walk.

A guard greeted us through the kingdom doors and that's when both me and Dusk Shine split up, going our two different ways without saying a word. I didn't bother to ask where he was heading, I just wanted to go to my room.

As I approached the end of the halls, I teleported to the front of my door where Glitz was standing in his armor and holding a sword.

"You've been practicing spells a lot this week lately and don't complain about it once when you come back. That's new," he observed. I smiled and hugged him.

"Well, I'm getting used to this annoying stuff. I have to get over it at some point." I pulled away from him. "How have you been doing today?"

"I had a late lunch break with Arctic a few minutes ago. Crimson took my place in the meantime."

"I'm glad you've made friends around here. Sometimes I'm scared that all you do is stand here on the days I'm not here," I said with a small giggle.

"I mean, Arctic and Onyx are the only stallions I'm pretty close to here. But it's easy to talk to the other guards as well, I just don't get a chance to talk to them as much," Glitz explained.

"Well Onyx is a guard," Abohaty pointed out.

"Okay, he's just different from the other ponies and I see him more than the others because he always has these weird theories for me."

"Like?"

"He is predicting Celestia and Luna aren't real sisters because the sun and moon are too isolated from each other." Abohaty raised a brow.

"What does that even mean?" she asked.

"I deal with this every day Abohaty." He chuckled a bit and then realized how tired she looked as well. "You should get some sleep."

"You're definitely right about that. Goodnight Glitz. Get to bed safely! Don't want you up all night standing here."

"Night princess. But trust me, I can handle..." he trailed off and began yawning. I giggled a bit. "I guess I do need some sleep..." He took off his helmet and walked to his room which wasn't so far from mine. "Goodnight princess," he repeated.

Glitz had his own fancy room here of course. He's my royal guard and deserves it. It wouldn't make sense for him to travel home back and forth on a daily, now would it?

When I was inside my room, I saw Nom Nom in her little cat bed. I hadn't seen her since the last meeting we had together. This means that this cat comes back to my room late at night when we're all asleep, and is gone before the morning. Though, I'm glad she finally decided to rest herself though. Lately, she's been going through it. I know we were never on good terms, but I still care for the cat a lot, and I do appreciate how much effort she's trying to put into all of this.

I flopped onto the bed and put my book of spells underneath the bed where it belonged. Today had been another long and stressful day. And there are still more days to come.

This was just the beginning of it.
