Day 29

Day 29

morning

When I woke up, Luna was raising the sun with a sad face. No wonder she would be... This used to be Celestias task. I tried to talk to her some more, but she wouldn't talk to me. I guess either my questions were making her uncomfortable, or she seriously just doesn't want to talk. I can't understand why though. All I asked her, was where she had been staying the nights, and how she was supplying herself. All I got out of her, was a small pouch full of a substance that resembles sand in a way. Even so she didn't tell me what to do with it, it was quite simple since she started to eat some of it in front of me. It tastes pretty much as it looks, but is suprisingly filling. One hoof full was enough to satisfy my hunger. I think it's some kind of concentrated feed. But where did she get it, and why doesn't she want to talk to me about it. Also, I noticed that she looks down on me like she might on an insect, or something disgusting.  Oh Luna, what has happend to you to make you like this?

Day 29

late morning

I actually got her to talk, but only after I threatend to just stay where I was, until I got some answers. She seems determined to get me to my destination and be done with it, so I was hoping that would work. Even so I must admit that I feel uncomfortable acting like a little filly. However, she is certainly not the Luna I knew three years ago. This one is filled with anger, rage and hurt. The only thing holding her together seems to be her "duty", which she claims is to keep Ponies safe wherever she goes, if she likes it or not. But she is a bad lier... I think it actually is the wish for revenge against Chrysalis, for the death of her sister. Still, she didn't tell me much. Only that, yes indeed it is concentrated feed she gave me, and yes she had a supply hidden somewhere, but wouldn't tell me where. And yes she returned to the same place to sleep each time. And no, she did not have anypony with her to treat her wounds, and would not allow me to do so either.

In the end she threatend me to knock me out and drag me all the way to Los Pegasus, where I to ask one more question.... At the moment, I need her, but in the future I WILL have to try to help her get over all that anger she has build ip. I can't rule over Equestria all alone, and I will most likely need her for that. Luna... I pitty you... Had you just come to the fortress I was in, after the fall of Canterlot... you wouldn't be in a state like this now....

Day 29

afternoon

I... feel like a burden on Luna. While I write this, she is carrying me on her back since she can fly much faster then me, even when I am in my best shape. But... I don't know if it is due to the wind, or the height we are flying at, but... As she levitated me on her back... It's freezing cold. Her back feels like I am sitting on a frozen over lake. I can see Los Pegasus in the distance already... Had I flown on my own, I might actually have taken two more days to reach this far. Lunas speed in incredible. But... witnessing her speed firsthoof, I can only wonder how Chrysalis manages to slip away from her all the time.

Day 29

evening

We do have reached Los Pegasus, and even so most of the city is in ruins, I found a small portion of the city that has been fortified. Luna did not go anywhere close their barricades, but left me a few blocks away from it before flying off again. Why did she not come and see if our subjects are alright? All she seemed to care for was getting me there, and then get back to hunt Chrysalis.... But why would she want to keep me safe, if it means such a delay for her? However, she is gone, but she left me something. The concentrated feed, and her crown... Yes Luna gave me her crown. She told me that, if I ever were to run into Chrysalis I should pour some of my mana into it, and she would know where I am. By the speed she demonstrated today, I can only imagine that she could reach any point in Equestria in a matter of a few hours. I will keep it, even so right now I don't know if I would actually do it and expose Chrysalis to her wrath. I would like to have a go at her myself, but I can't ignore the fact that we ponies are outnumbered, and need help in this.

Even this "safe haven" only has a few hundred ponies. Rainbow appearently didn't make it, or she would be here by now, given how fast she is.... Her uncle is still alive and organizing things. As he saw me, he asked me if I wanted to take authority from him, but I won't. He has done a great job protecting his citizens, and I don't wanna ruin that. For now, most ponies do treat me with respect, but it is obvious that they also ask themself, why I did not come earlier. Some of them are from the camp beneath Cloudsdale. They filled me in on what a chaos their retreat actually had been. Also I learned that Rainbow only recommended the Pegasi to come here, due to Los Pegasus being in the clouds. The others, or to say the majority of survivors from that camp, headed to Phillydelphia. So basicly in the direct opposite direction of Los Pegasus....

Damn... I guess I will have to... go to Phillydelphia if I want to find them. But I don't know if they reached it, or if they ran into trouble on the way. Also, from the last things I heard when still in Canterlot, the city had been overrun, so why would they head there? The city is almost as big as Los Pegasus, so there should be many undead there.... I can only assume that Rainbow Dash is.... dead. I hope that I am wrong, but all the signs indicate that she is. Also Sweetie Belle... what became of her? None of the Pegasi from the camp was able to tell me that.

Day 29

late night

Quick Arrow found me just a few minutes ago. He's one of two surviving Pegasus guards. Quick Arrow and Cherry Pie. I know both of them from the palast in Canterlot... I don't know if I should be happy or not, but they told me that, where ever I decide to go, they will come with me. I don't want them to leave relative safety, but they insisted.... It's been a year since the fall of Canterlot and they are still determined to fulfill their duty..... I can't deny that I will sleep better if I know that somepony is watching over me though....
