The falling star
It was a calm night in Equestria. The stars shined brightly in the cloudless sky, and the cool night’s breeze swayed the branches of the blossoming trees. Princess Luna stood out on the balcony of her quarters in Canterlot Castle, looking over her masterpiece.
“Impressive as always, sister,” came a voice behind her. “All the times I’ve tried to mimic your technique... it could never compare to the genuine article.”
Luna turned around to meet the owner of the voice. Her sister, Princess Celestia, approached from the doorway and walked up beside her to marvel at the gorgeous sky.
"Well, thank you, sis." Luna replied. However, there was little enthusiasm or sincerity in her voice, and she was visibly grimacing.
"Is something the matter, Luna?" Celestia said, with great sympathy and worry upon her face.
"I... I just feel... lonely," Luna replied with a sad tear rolling down her cheeks.
"Now, now, sis, no need to cry. There are many colts out there in Canterlot for you to pick," Celestia said, putting a loving hoof upon Luna's shoulder.
"No, sis! I want a colt that's different from other colts! I want some pony that will protect me, love me, and does not like to dress fancy!" Luna said, rather annoyed, she brushed off Celestia's hoof. And proceeded over to a stone balcony.
The two sisters looked toward the nights sky, as shooting stars crossed the sky in the distance.
"Its so......" Celestia said, in amazement, still looking at her sister’s stunning masterpiece.
"Beautiful...." Luna replied with a grin on her face, still she proceeded to look into the night sky, toward the stars.
"I was going to say dazzling.... But, beautiful works" Celestia replied, putting her hoofs over the stone balcony, "So..., sis, why do you want a colt that is different from the rest?".
Luna ignored her sister's question, and looked even deeper into the night sky, only to notice something that has never happened.
"Humm, sis, doesn't that star seem to be off course?" Luna said, noticing something, quite, unnatural.
"Then, put the star back on course" Celestia said as she looked at the star.
*Luna's horn starts to glow a dark midnight blue*
"Err, sis!" Luna said, trying desperately to put the star back on course.
"Yes?" Celestia replied, seeing struggle on Luna's face.
"The star, it’s not going back on course!" Luna shouted, with her last bit of strength, she tried to put the star back on course.
"I’ve just noticed something, Luna." Celestia said trying to stop Luna hurting herself with the amount of magic coursing through her horn.
"What is it?" Luna replied, the midnight blue aura around her horn faded, as she noticed shrapnel breaking off the star.
"That's not a star, in fact I think it’s on a crash course" Celestia said, as she was trying to guess what it was.
"Where is it going make contact with the at ground?." Luna said as watching something unlike anything she has seen before.
"By the looks of it seems, it has a collision course with the, Ever free forest." Celestia said, giving a rough estimate of where it was going to crash
"Should we......" Luna replied, in worry she ducked under the stone balcony to shield her from the impacts shock wave.
Luna was ready for the object hitting the ground, the stars impact with the ground let off an extremely bright light, and a loud bang.
"Sis, what was that?." Luna said, in fright she very nervously pocked her head up above the stone balcony.
"I don't know, but I’m going to send out some guards in the morning to investigate." Celestia said, without looking at her sisters scared face, she walked back to her quarters.
"Should i....." Luna replied in a nervous tone of voice.
*Celestia interrupts Luna*
"I said, i shall send some guards out in the morning" Celestia replied to Luna in an agitated voice. "Now lets get to bed, we have a busy day tomorrow" Celestia said, waking onward toward her bedroom.
"Okay, good night, Tia." Luna said, looking over her stone balcony, she looked toward the black smoke drifting into the night sky.
"Good night, Luna." Celestia replied, calmly walking into her quarters, closing a red silk curtain across her chamber entrance.
Luna's curiosity with that shooting star will get her into a lot of issues, maybe not now, but in the future.
First sight
It was late at night, all except Luna was asleep. She was fascinated with that falling star, she wanted to know what it was. Being Celestia's younger sister, she had to obey Celestia's rules around the castle. Celestia even made a rule for Luna to not go out after seven o'clock. But her interest in this fallen star makes her want to break this rule.
"What was that?... I've never, in all my years as serving as Princess of the Night, ever witness such a event as seen tonight" Luna said to herself, as she tossed and turned in her bed, the thought of that unnatural event just stayed in her head.
________________________________________________________________
Luna seeing she's not going to be able to sleep with that thought sticking to her mind. She gets out of her bed, puts on a black silk gown, and looks over her stone balcony. Luna's view from her balcony, overlooked Canterlot and Pony Ville. But also gave her a view of a cliff edge next to the Ever free forest, and something caught her eye.
"Is that a light, but no one is awake but me, its near the impact site of that star", Luna said. Trying to figure out what that mysterious light was, she quickly put on her brown hooded cape, and headed away from the safety of the castle grounds, toward the Ever free forest.
__________________________________________________________________
Luna was alone, surrounded by darkness and nothing to stop her from being killed from any of the Ever free forest’s formidable creatures. She explores more of the forest, until she comes across a clearing in the centre of the forest. With it brightly lit up by moon light. She gingerly stepped out into the clearing, only for her hoof to be caught in a rope trap. Now with her four hooves bound together and hanging helplessly upside down from a tree branch. the trap made Luna's heart rate increase. She tries to untie her self from the tree using magic, but it was no use, the knot was too tight.
It's been two hours, Luna still stuck in the rope trap. She starts to shout for help. Luna's loud voice started to attract unwanted guests to what they call a free meal. Luna starts to notice timber wolves exiting the bushes and heading toward her. Luna is starting to get scared now. The Timberwolves got closer and closer, to the point where now they are starting to jump up to bite Luna. A loud roar of a manticore shook the clearing, and scared away the timber wolves. Now it was only Luna and a creature more intimidating than a pack of timber wolves. The manticore was face to face to Luna, Luna was paralyzed with fear. The Manticore swiped its huge paw at Luna, but the manticore misjudged its attack and cut the rope restraining Luna.
Luna quickly got on her hooves and started to sprint toward that unknown light she had seen from her balcony. The Manticore short on her tail, Luna ran out of the forest into what looked like a camp site.
"Help me!! please help me!!" Luna shouted. As she was running she looked behind her only to see the Manticore stampeding its way toward her.
Luna’s frantic shouting caught the attention of a alicorn, with bright red demonic eyes, black markings across his body, and sharp metallic wings.
This alicorn took off into the sky to where he heard the screaming for help.
Luna trips over a fallen branch, and twists her ankle. Then the Manticore jumps, Luna gets ready for the pain until... She looks up, only to see a bolt of lightning strike the Manticore to the floor with a smash.
She was shocked to see a alicorn rocket from the smoke toward the raging manticore, the two of them speeding at each other head-on. The alicorn smashes into the raging Manticore with a thud.
The manticore swipes its powerful paw at the alicorn, the alicorn is hit and flung through some trees, splitting the trees in half. The Manticore jumps at the alicorn, the alicorn gets back up, leaps, and slashes its razor sharp metallic wings across the Manticore’s face, killing it on the spot.
Luna was still laying on the ground in shock, still trying to figure out what just happened in front of her. “What did I just see? An alicorn, like me, taking on a fully-grown Manticore... alone”.
The unknown alicorn noticed Luna on the floor, he walks over to her and offered a hoof to Luna. Kindly taking the hoof Luna was helped to her hooves by the unknown alicorn.
“Thank you kind sir” Luna said. Luna notices a deep cut on the alicorns rear left leg.
“Sir it seems you have a nasty injury on your rear leg, would you like me to have a look at it for you?”
“Its just a flesh wound” the unknown alicorn replied. The unknown alicorn walks over to the cliff edge. “So, what's you’re name?” the unknown alicorn asked.
“That does not matter at the moment, I’m more concerned about that injury on your rear leg, you need me to look at it”. Luna said , walking gingerly over to the unknown alicorn.
“I-I feel light-headed for some reason”, he alicorn said. losing his footing, then falling to the ground knocked out due to lack of blood.
“S-sir!” Luna shouted, fear on her face. Yet, she stayed calm, and ran to the castle for medical assistance.
Two days later
It was two whole days the unknown alicorn was knocked out for, until...
"W-where am I", the alicorn said. gaining conscience, he got out of the bed he was lying upon. "Err, I-I feel weak", he said to himself. trying to keep his footing, he walks into a wall. "Oomph, that hurt", he exclaimed. He then punches himself in the face to get rid of any dizziness he has. "There we go", he said getting up off the floor.
He reaches a door and opens it, he then looks around outside of the door. "My god, that's a long corridor", he said marvelling in the grace of the long marble corridor. "Its going to take two months to reach the end of this thing", he said, losing concentration of what was in front of him. "Bumf, what is with me toda... Who are you?", he said noticing a unicorn in white lab coat.
"Why, I am your doctor. It seems you are awake", the doctor said. Getting back up, he brushed himself off.
"Well, yea... Wait... You're my doctor?!?", he said in surprise. He then proceeds to get back up. And asks "where am I?".
"You are in Canterlot castle infirmary", the doctor replied back.
"What am I?" the alicorn asks.
"You are a alicorn, and a very unique alicorn you are", the doctor shot back.
"Who brung me here?", the alicorn asked with an inquisitive face.
"Why, Luna ordered us to bring you here. But if it was not for Luna telling us about your whereabouts, you'd be dead by now", doctor said taking off his glasses.
"Whose Luna?" the alicorn shot back at the doctor.
"Why, she is our Princess of the Night", the doctor said with a smile upon his face.
The alicorn just stares back at the pony in the lab coat, with one eyebrow above the other.
"Midnight blue coat", the doctor says noticing the alicorns facial expression.
*Alicorns facial expression still the same*
"Blue floaty mane", the doctor said getting worried.
*Alicorns facial expression still the same*
"The ones life you saved two days ago", the doctor said flashing a light into the alicorns eye.
*Alicorns facial expression still the same*
"Sir, are you okay?", the doctor said rather worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine and dandy", the alicorn shot back toward the doctor.
"Well, you kind blocked me out just a moment ago", the doctor replied taking off his glass's.
"Ohh, yeah I forgot to tell you. I have an IQ lower than forty", the alicorn said back to the doctor.
"You would not of been able to tell me, since you were knocked out for two days", the doctor replied putting his glasses back on.
"Ohh, right I forgot about that", the alicorn replied moving his head away in embarrassment.
"Well, she'd be happy to hear you're up and moving", doctor said putting his hoof up on the alicorns shoulder.
"Who will be happy to hear that?" the alicorn replied back, with the same facial expression he had before.
"Luna!", the doctor said getting annoyed by the alicorn low IQ level. "Now go and rest up, I will be back with Luna shortly", the doctor said with a smile on his face.
The alicorn then heads back to his room, ready to meet the this Princess Luna.
First impressions
It's been a few minutes. The alicorn was laying upon an infirmary bed. He starts to hear a female voice coming closer and closer to his ward.
His room door opens and an alicorn with a midnight blue coat, floating mane. And a picture of the moon on her flank. Walks into the room.
"I see one has woken from their sleep", the midnight blue alicorn Said as soon as she saw him.
"Who are you, and what are you?", the striped alicorn shot back.
"Sir, I am a pony, and my name is, Princess Luna. Or, Luna to my friends", Luna replied back.
"That's a nice name", the striped alicorn said with a smirk upon his face.
"So who are thee?", Luna fired back with one eyebrow above the other.
"My name is, Rawhavoc or, Havoc to my allies", Rawhavoc replied. putting his hoof out.
"That be ones name?", Luna replied with suspicion on her face.
"I don't see what's wrong with it", Rawhavoc shot back.
"Well, In Equestria, thy names represent what thy talent is", Luna said getting quite serious.
"That doesn't quite answer my question", Rawhavoc replied getting agitated.
"Well, since thee saved thy life, Rawhavoc. Thy think we will let it pass", Luna said realising that she couldn't banish some pony who hasn't done anything wrong.
"Well okay, but I don't see what's wrong with my name" Rawhavoc replied with one eyebrow above the other.
"Lets forget about that. But you're an alicorn we have never seen", Luna said with a smirk on her face.
"What's an alicorn?", Rawhavoc replied scratching his scalp in confusion.
*Giggles* "An alicorn is a pony with both a horn and wings. Thee can't be that low on education", Luna shot back with an even bigger smirk on her face.
"Well, sorry that I don't know where the fuck I am!. Or what the hell I am!", Rawhavoc yelled.
"Sir, stand down!", A guard warned, Rawhavoc.
"Back down guard. Thy am sorry for acting immature, Rawhavoc I don't quite know what came over me", Luna said trying to make amends with the angry alicorn.
"Well, I'm sorry for getting angry. But I just don't like getting abused for what I lack", Rawhavoc replied.
"Let this be a truse to any immature comments, remarks or gestures", Luna said putting her hoof out.
"Ay, let this be a truse", Rawhavoc shot back shaking Luna's hoof.
"Well, we have a lot to discuss, between you and I", Luna said, heading toward the ward door.
"Ay, we do indeed", Rawhavoc said opening the ward door for, Luna.
Luna and, Rawhavoc walk out side by side toward the courtyard.
Questions to be asked
As Luna and Rawhavoc enter the courtyard grounds, Havoc notices a white alicorn with a floating mane. In which showed the colours of the light spectrum. And a picture of the sun on her flank.
This white alicorn was talking to a light grey alicorn with a black mane and chalk grey eyes. And a picture of a pair of pegasi wings on his flank. He also had his wings flared tall. As if he were the dominant one.
"Ah... Yes, that's my sister Tia", Luna said. noticing Havoc's interest in this strange magical land of talking ponies.
"Huh... Nice to know, but I wasn't looking at your sister. But the guy she's conversing with", Rawhavoc shot back.
"Ooh... Her fiancé, Tia fell in love with him a while back. Ever since then, she's become more and more... Well... Obsessed with him", Luna replied with high zest.
Luna and Havoc agree to stop talking about Tia and her strange lover man/stallion/blind guy. So they went to the common room to chat about each other. And get to know each other that tad bit more.
______________________________________
Luna and Havoc both enter the common room, Havoc sits down on what his butt/flank/anus thought was the most comfortable piece of furniture ever made... Or was it.
Luna trots into the kitchen to prepare some snacks. "Anything thou would like Havoc?", Luna asked, through the doorway of the kitchen.
"I'll be happy to have whatever you give me", Havoc replied in a polite tone of voice.
"Also, I see one likes the stool. But there's a chair just across thy room", Luna said, trying to hold back a laugh.
"Wait... How did you know?", Havoc replied with wonder in his voice.
"One noticed thou sitting on it through the doorway of this kitchen", Luna shot back, with a giggle in her voice.
Havoc shouts a hearty laugh and gets off the stool. Then trots over to a large couch on the far left side of the room. Havoc lays flat on the couch and stretched out. Luna walks in, only to see Havoc flat out on the couch. Luna decides to give Havoc a big surprise.
"HOW VERY UNPOLITE, HAVOC!!!", Luna said in her royal canterlot voice.
"BWOASHIT!!", Havoc yelled in a state of shock as he fell off the couch quite quickly. "Da' fuck?!?" Havoc asked with his heart visibly ramming through his chest.
"Thou were asleep Havoc, how was thou's dream?" Luna asked with a smirk on her face.
"Well, considering it was interrupted by a walking fog horn. It was quite a good dream", Havoc replied with a laugh in his voice.
*laughs* "Yeah, it's going to be a while before we can sleep. We still need to talk first", Luna said helping Havoc off the floor onto the couch.
Luna trots over to a chair that was placed in front of the couch of which Havoc was sat on.
"So.. What to say?... What to say?", Havoc said rubbing the back of his head.
*giggles* "no need to speak Havoc, I'll go first", Luna replied, with an uplifting smile on her face.
The night before the battle
A few hours have past, Havoc and Luna decide to finish up with their conversation. Since Luna had to raise the moon and Havoc was... Well... tired.
"So, one shall see thou in the morning?", Luna asked as she trotted out the common room doors.
"Not to early, wait... Where am I going to sleep?.", Havoc asked in a quick state of confusion.
"I asked my sister if thou could sleep in one of the guest rooms tonight. She said yes, so your room was being prepared by our maids for the vast majority of the day. And is now ready for you", Luna replied, with a smile.
"Thank you for putting me up... But for who long exactly?", Havoc asked yet again in a state of confusion.
"Thou are an alicorn, so therefore thou can not leave this castle without mine or my sisters permission. Even when thou are aloud out of these grounds, thou must wear a hooded cape. And we will provide some guards to assist you to where thou need to go or be", Luna answered back, with a quick tongue. Making it near on impossible for anypony to understand what she just said.
"And why is that?", Havoc asked with a eye brow above the other and a smirk on his lips.
"Its because my sister doesn't know what thou are able to do, so whilst thou are out of the castle grounds. Guards will escort you until thou are trusted out on your own. Understand what one is saying Havoc?", Luna answered back.
"Yes I understand that, but what I don't understand is why do I have to wear a cape... In public?", Havoc shot back at with a raised brow.
"The cape will hide thou's wings, in which will hide you from being an alicorn in the public eye", Luna replied
"So..." Havoc said quite slowly.
"Because Equestria, thinks that there are only two alicorns in our nation of peace. And only a very few know that there are more than just two alicorns here", Luna replied in a serious tone of voice.
"So you're keeping this a secret to prevent chaos, because you had not told ‘em about this thing with these alicorns before?", Havoc asked with a smirk.
"Thou could pronounce it like that Havoc", Luna replied with a grin.
Luna and Havoc finish their drinks, and start walking to where they need to be.
"Anyway, I'm shattered and need to get some shut eye. And again, thanks for putting me up here.", Havoc said with a positive tone of attitude.
"It's great to have at least one more room in use. Any whom, are thou keeping that promise about showing me this Thorn pony tomorrow aren't you?", Luna asked Havoc with a smile upon her face.
Havoc shouts a hearty laugh.
"Thorn, is not what I'd call a pony. But more a... Well... Err... Ermm... I'll tell ya' about him in the morning", Havoc answered with a chuckle in his tone.
______________________________________
After raising the moon, Luna goes to her bedroom chamber. Where she lays down and gets herself into a book, before she sleeps.
"I wonder who's dream I shall visit tonight... Ahh, I know who's dream I shall visit... Should I enter his dream, what would I expect from it?", Luna asked her self. Before getting back to reading her book.
Luna snuggles into her bed, book in hoof she starts to read it.
Soon, she jumps in fright as a loud crack of thunder sounded. Luna gets out of her bed, only to see something weird. She notices that there's not a cloud in her night sky. Luna looks up, to see... Nothing... Absolutely nothing... Just the night sky. She walks back into her bedroom chamber, to try and figure out what could trigger such a strange event.
Luna snuggles back into her bed, only to get out in a rush. That thundering sound went right past the outside of her bedroom chamber wall. She runs to her balcony, to see what looked like Havoc outside his bedroom chamber.
"H-Havoc!", Luna shouted in confusion.
Havoc hears Luna's voice, and turns his attention to her...
"Yes Luna?!", Havoc yelled, to make his voice make the distance of both his and Luna's balconys.
"Did thou see what made that thunder sound?!", Luna asked loudly.
"Eenooo!!. Now I gotta' go and get some shut eye!!", Havoc replied walking back into his chamber.
"Oh, okay. One shall see thou at dawn", Luna replied trotting back into her chamber.
[Luna heads back into her chamber to go to sleep.]
"Next stop... Havoc's dream world", Luna said to herself as she closed her eyes.
