My little Luna: Power of the Lunar Arch-Mage

We appear in a throne room. I drop to my knees breathing hard.

"Father are you alright?" asks Luna as she drapes a hoof over my back.

"Yes, or at least I will be, my body is not use to that amount of magic use." I reply, "So Celestia, may I ask why you tried to leave me behind?" I glare at her as I ask this.

"Because you do not belong here, I'm surprised you survived the trip here, your magic is stronger then I thought." replies Celestia with a glare of her own. We both start charging our magic into our tools, her into her horn, and me into my stave. Luna moves to the side.

Celestia is the first to attack, with a beam of pure energy. I summon a mana shield and deflect her beam off into some windows. I then ready myself for her next attack. She shoots a fire ball at me and I just smile and absorb it into my magic stores.

"Oh, so you can absorb fire balls, well lets see how much fire you can take!" With that she starts throwing fire at me left and right, so I absorb every strike into my stores.

After sixty fire balls my stores are full so I start deflecting her attacks. She stops when I do this.

"I see you have had enough fire, but let me ask this, where did you put the fire?" She grins as though she won but I just chuckle and say, "I absorbed the magic fire into my own stores, and now I can use it as I see fit." Her grin disappears and instead she just shoots another beam at me so I return the attack with one of my own. It turns into a battle of power and the collision point of the beams is nearing my stave so I pump more magic into my attack. The power is evened out and the collision point is stationary in the middle of the two powerfully lethal beams of magic. Celestia starts breathing heavy after a couple minutes of this and as her power starts to weaken. I back off so that I don't hurt her. I may be strict and ruthless but I don't harm the innocent.

Once her magic is spent I stop the beam and she just slides back a foot from what was left of my beam.

"Why... did... you stop?" She asks out of breath.

"Because I don't harm the innocent. That is the first rule of the Lunar Creed." I answer her. I rest my magic.

"But... why...stop...I attacked...you." She asks, still out of breath.

"You were only trying to protect your subjects and your sister. Now please allow me to share what magic I have left with you so we may speak on better terms." She nods her head and I give her half of my magic.

"Thank you, but may I ask you something?"

"But of coarse, you may ask anything."

"Why did you say received her as a gift from the Lunar Goddess, and besides that, who is the Lunar Goddess?"

"Well the first answer is going to be a slightly long story, so please don't ask anything else until I am finished otherwise I will forget previous questions." She nods so I continue, "Okay, so, Luna was gifted to me on the night of pure Lunar magic, the night of the winter solstice as well as a lunar eclipse. This occurs every thousand years, and on the day of pure lunar magic, the arch-mage of the Lunar Creed can open a portal to the higher realms. I am the arch-mage of the current Lunar Creed, which is why you couldn't beat me when my stores of mana were full, but i also doubt that was your full power, I'm getting off topic. So seventeen years ago was the last night of pure lunar magic, so I tried to open a portal to the higher lunar realm, but the lunar goddess decided otherwise, changing my destiny to being a father to Luna." I pause for input from Luna, but she stays silent so I continued, "Now for the other answer. The Lunar goddess is the creator of all moons and also the creator of lunar magic. So the Lunar Creed worships her and her decisions." A Lunar scroll appears in front of me so I grab it and read its contents.

Dear Arch-Mage Chase,

The rest of this letter is to the princess Celestia.

The rest of the message was illegible to me so I hold it out to Celestia saying, "Seems as though the Lunar Goddess wishes to explain herself to you." She takes the scroll into her magical grasp, and after she reads it she looks at me with tears in her eyes as she says, "I'm so sorry for harming you when you raised my sister as well as protected her from your world's cruelty. How can you ever forgive me?"

"I never even started to doubt your actions for I already knew what was going to happen. You don't need my forgiveness for you will always have it." I reply with a soft smile. Celestia starts to cry silently so I walk up to her and hold my arms out. She immediately wraps her hooves around me, quietly sobbing into my shoulder. She pulls away after she calms, her vibrant flowing mane now hangs down by her shoulders and is a soft sparkling pink.

"You can stay here at the castle until you've found a place to live, but if you so choose, you may live here." Says Celestia. I just nod my head and look to Luna asking, "Where will we live?" and she replies with a simple, "Here father." so I nod to Celestia and she nods back.

"Feather Touch will be your servant here at the castle, so Miss Touch?" Celestia calls to a white unicorn. The unicorn walks over to Celestia.

"Will you show the Arch-Mage to his room, you will be his servant whenever he is here."

"Yes Princess." Replied the unicorn with a nod, "Follow me sir." I just smile and nod. The unicorn shows me out of the throne room and through the castle, eventualy leading to the room i would be staying in.

I turn to the young unicorn and say, "Thank you. I know I would have gotten lost on my way here."

"No problem sir, it is my job to serve the princesses and if they want me to serve you then I am at your beck and call." She replies, "I do have one question."

"Go ahead, ask."

"What is your name?"

"Well, I'm in a new world with a new destiny, so I say my old name does not suit me. Hmm. Just call me Lunar." I tell her, "And may I ask what your name is? I'm afraid I wasn't listening to Celestia when she said it."

"My name is Feather Touch. I am your servant here at the palace."

"Well Feather, would you like to join me for some tea? I would like to know more about Equestria, and you." She nods and asks, "What kind of tea would you like?"

"I would like jasmine tea." I tell her.

"What is jasmine? I don't think Equestria has that plant."

"Oh silly me." I summon a jasmine flower and hand it to Feather, "This is a jasmine flower, used to make a lovely tasting tea in my realm." I tell her as I summon multiple jasmine flowers that are still alive and set them all over the room.

"Oh my, it's a beautiful flower. Are you sure this is used in tea?"

"But of coarse. Its was a tradition in my realm to drink tea, and jasmine tea was one of the most commonly drank." She nods and says, "I will return soon." I nod and head inside.
