CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT
PROLOGUE
Load Full StoryNext ChapterThe sun was almost setting, Celestia yawned and smiled. She flew down the watch tower and into the castle, she walked to the right hallway and saw Luna's room and knocked. Celestia was glad Luna returned from the monster she was and she gently pushed Luna's room open, she saw Luna in her bed sleeping. Her mane was now different, It reflected the night sky that was filled with stars, and Luna's coat was different too it made Celestia jealous to see such beauty that is in her younger sister. She shook Luna and said "Wake up Luna, it's your turn to raise up the moon and the stars.", Luna slowly opened her eyes and yawned.
She looked at Celestia and nodded, she stretched both her wings and got up from her bed and then rubbed both her eyes. She walked outside her room and flew all the way to the watch tower. Celestia looked behind Luna and sighed, she then left Luna's room. Celestia went inside her room and decided to sleep instead of watching over Luna. As Luna raised the moon and countless stars, somepony that reminded of her father's voice said "Isn't the night beautiful Luna? I still remembered when I was your age I rarely raised the stars, sometimes I did it when I felt happy and not lonely" and then a mare with a voice that sounded like her mother said "After he met me, he began to raise the stars every night." the mare let out a soft chuckle, Luna being utterly shocked looked behind her and saw her father and her mother who passed away a billion years ago.
She gasped and sobbed happy tears and hugged her mother and father, she then spoke "What are you doing here mother and father?" her mother and father looked at each other with sad faces and then her mother, Galaxis said "Luna, you must start a new colony.", Luna was confused and shook her head. Her father, Temporus jumps in and said "The ponies of Equestria are getting weaker and weaker, they all struggle Luna. Your mother and I sense that we should replace the life cycle, what we mean is that ponies would be awake at the night and they would sleep at the day.", Luna was shocked to hear that and said "Then we must not let that happen! We have to tell Celestia what we must do.".
Her father shook his head and said "No, it will affect war on both of you and it would corrupt her mind, then she will use the elements of harmony against you, if the ponies are getting weaker and weaker, then you must start a colony of ponies and filly or colts who are awake at night and asleep at day, we will tell you when you must start looking. But secretly, without Celestia knowing.", Luna sighed in disbelief and said "You really think there are ponies who are awake at my beautiful night? Aren't they all asleep father?", she let out a tear drip from her face. And her mother said "There are some ponies all over the world who are awake at night.", Luna sighed and said "But how can I find each and one of them? I never even met them.", Galaxis smiled while looking at the moon and said "The moonlight will show you each and one of them.", Temporus smiled and looked at Galaxis then Luna, he then said "Farewell Luna, remember.. If Celestia keeps on making the day much longer than the night. You must round up the ponies and take them to the old castle, from then on we will show you the way.".
Then they slowly disappear into thin air, Luna looked at the telescope and sighed. She saw the whole town of Equestria sleeping, but not all of Equestria.
