The Legend of the Sound Striders

by Night Music

Is this the Real life? or is this just Fantasy?

"When we left off, Celestia was going to chop off our heads, both of them apparently... do we have to lose our heads? I mean can't you see that she is going to neuter us and then kill us, unless she wants to kill us first and then neuter us, but I don't think that would be satisfactory to her so i'm going to go with the first option and say we are going to get killed afterwards. I hope we just get to say bye to Luna before we go six-feet under, well... you go six-feet under I won't"

"Wait if I die you still get to live?! Now how is that fair? You try to include yourself into everything in my life but you get to live when I die, what happened that, I am you and you are me?"

"Hey it's not my fault that the voice in your head is immortal and aren't you immortal to? You are a Sound Strider after all, you are pure sound with a body, so even if they take your head you will still live on, sure you won't be able to speak or see, or... kiss Luna but you will live"

"Now how is any of that good? I might as well be dead"


Celestia had the guards drag you off from her room and into the dungeon, it was nicer since you last saw it, they cleaned up a bit, you might be a prisoner of the Princess but you still get to be comfortable... wait is that a skeleton in the corner? oh dear creator, you are going to die here.

"Can't we make a deal?" You ask the guard with a chuckle.

"No" is all the guard says.

"Can we at least talk? to make my time here a little less boring?" You say while looking at the guards from behind the bars. There are at least twenty gaurds, hmmm, looks like Celestia buffed up the guard count on you.

The guard sighs and says, "Fine, what do you want to talk about?"

"Well, how is your day going so far?"

"Well not so bad, guarding this place can be boring but there is one bright side to it" the gaurd says with a smile.

"And what is the bright side? if I may ask"

"Well, you came in, didn't you? you are the first prisoner in here since well... the war with the Griffons" The guard says.

"Wow... that long huh? So I'm like your first visitor in ten years?

"Fifteen, if you count the period where everyone was at a standoff" The guard says chuckling a little bit.

"Attention!"

At that moment all of the guards stood up straight and saluted.

"At ease"

"Well well well, look what we have here, General Iron Wing, how have you been old friend?

" I don't believe we have met before"

"Oh no not in this dimension, another one, one that we are good friends in"

"Dimension?"

"oh that's right, we haven't mastered space or time travel yet"

"Be quiet! I'm not even supposed to talk to you, but I came down here to get your side of the story before we execute you"

"Well this looks like a start to a good friendship right here, now what do you want to hear?"

"Spare me your life story and just tell me what you did"

"Well, to put it bluntly I fell in love with Luna and... kind of got her pregnant" you say with a frightened smile across your face.

When you said that, Iron Wing didn't respond all he did was stare, afraid of what he might do you say, "Is everything all right Iron?" You turn to one of the guards and ask, "Did I break him?"
When you asked that all the guards started to move towards Iron slowly until... A smile started to creep upon Iron Wing's face.

"I would say, is that all, but I guess that is a big deal Iron Wing said whilst laughing.

The reaction took you off guard and you started to question whether you did break him or not.

"Do you love Luna?

"With all of the noise in the universe" You say with a nod.

"And are you going to help take care of the foal?"

"Well yes because of two reasons... well three, one because I love Luna, two because it would be wrong to turn down the foal I created, and because I must, I want to give my child what I din't have... which was proper parents"

"Well, then I don't see why you are locked up down here, how about I do something for you?"

"What are yo-" You were about to question him until you hear the sound of keys jingling and then unlocking the door.

"This will be the first and only time I will let you out, and if you come back here don't forget to greet me, it does kind of get lonely down here in the barracks"

"Don't worry, I will come to say hi and when I do, you will know it's me"

"What do you mea-

Suddenly a loud crack sounded off from where you were standing and you were gone.

When you start to see the other opening you hear a deep chuckle from the back of your head.


CRACK

"Who is there?" Luna asked looking around her room from tear soaked eyes, seeing you she stopped crying and a smile grew on her face.

"It's me Luna" You say smiling at her.

"Oh Night I was so worried, h-how did you get out? She said wiping the remaining tears from her face.

"Well one of Celestia's General's named Iron Wing let me go" You say remembering what he looked like, but that isn't important right now.

"Luna we need to go talk to your sister, I need to tell her something"


Celestia was just sitting there wondering if she had made a mistake for sending the father of her sister's foal to the dungeon to be neutered and then to be executed the next day in public. She might have overreacted, not thinking of her sisters happiness. She was just about to go tell Luna she was going to let Night Music out of the dungeon when suddenly, the two burst through the door with Night saying, "Celestia I have to tell you something"

"I needed to tell you something to but it seems I can save the trip to the dungeon for a later time, wait... how did you get out?

You are again caught off guard, but by Celestia's calmness, didn't she order you to be executed not five hours ago?

"W-well one of your General's named Iron Wing let me out" You say feeling liked you ratted Iron out.

"Funny, I don't recall his name" She said tapping a hoof to her chin.

"Celestia we need to tell you something, I love your sister with all of the atoms in the universe, and I love the foal with all of the light from the stars in the night sky, so I need your help... will you allow me to have your sister, in all the years to come?"

You can't stand being apart from Luna, leaving her is like hearing silence, a feeling of being alone and the emptiness that comes with it.

"Night are you... saying what I think you are saying?" Both Luna and Celestia ask.

"Luna would you make me the happiest Sound Strider in the known reality and marry me? If you say no I would still love you and would still want to father the-" You get tackled to the floor and feel lips lock with yours, oh how you love these moments of pure bliss.

"Oh Nighty, how could I say no? I was wondering when you would ask" Luna says squeezing the air from your lungs.

"Well, this is a joyous occasion, and Night Music, could you forgive me for what I was going to do? My behavior was unacceptable, and Luna could you forgive me? I was not seeing how you felt about this and my anger blinded me"
Celestia says holding her head lowered not looking at any of you.

You and Luna look at each other and nod and you say "We can and will, but I need a favor" Luna looks at you when you ask for a favor.

"I can do anything, what do you need?

"At least two weeks along to plan the wedding, I want it to be a surprise" You say looking at both Luna and Celestia.

"Where do you need those two weeks to be at?

"Some place spacious and void of ponies"

" I might have a place for you"


Author's Note

Today I am sick so I am going to be doing random stuff around the sight, might check some other stories out and try to get some sleep. If any of you readers do actually read the notes I leave than if you would like your OC to appear in the story as a character than just ask down in the comments and I will see what I can work with, and if any of you catch any errors could you let me know?

"And here we are at the end of this chapter"

"What are you talking about this isn't a book!"

"If only you knew"
