Luna's Duty

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

As Luna stared, sided by her two companions, contemplating the perculiar sight before her, the little foal began to stir.

At first it was tiny flutterings of her wings, then a stretch of her legs and then finally, she opened her eyes.
They, like her mane, were a brilliant silver, with the exception of a few golden flecks dashed haphazardly in them.

The filly, slowly sat up, stretched her wings, and then turned to face the three, still flabberghasted mares. She observed them silently each in turn, with a bright spark of intelligence in her silvery gaze. After what must have been five minutes, but what felt like must have been an infinate amount of time, the minute filly stood up, shook herself off, and scrambled out of the hole.

As she did so, the three, still silent mares, scrambled back, still unsure of what to make of the little creature before them.

The filly, now out of the hole, stared for a few seconds longer at the mares, then, spying Luna's Cutie Mark, hobbled towards her on shaky knees.

'Ama!' Exclaimed the little filly in excitement

'Ama, ama, Mama!!!'

At first Luna was taken aback, her wings extended to their full length in shock.

'No... no little one' She stammered

'I am not your mama'

'Mama!' Insisted the little filly as she frowned. She was rather annoyed now. She knew what she wanted to say, but her tiny, undeveloped foal body would not allow her to express the words so clearly formed in her mind.

'Princess?' Questioned the two mares alongside Luna

'Is she yours?'

'Where did she come from?'

'Who's the father?'

'What's her name?'

The questions flew at Luna like arrows, all too many at once.

'Silence!!!' Boomed Luna in the double, royal Canterlot voice. Her shock getting the better of her.

'I don't know who she is, where she came from, nor who her father is. And I am certainly not her mother!.

The filly, who had been gazing up at Luna, decided that now was the point to intervene. If these silly mares could not put it together herself, she would have to show them.

'Mama.' She stated simply, pointing at Luna's cutie mark with her hoof.

She then pointed to herself, and then up at the evening sky.

'Are you saying I am your mama because you fell from the sky?' Questioned Luna

The filly pondered on this for a minute, shrugged slightly and then nodded her head. She would have to make do with this arrangement of understanding until her body caught up with her mind.

Luna's wings lowered as she assesed the situation.

'Well' She said, Adressing her two companions,

'We can't just leave her here. I will take her back to the Castle and see what my sister has to say of this. You two will accompany me to look after this little one until we have settled what is happening. Nightlight, will you be able to carry Moonflower all the way back to Canterlot?'

'Yes princess.'

'Good. Then let us be off' Said Luna, lifting the filly onto her back and spreading her wings.

Nightlight lifted Moonflower, and the three mares and their tiny companion, who stared around her in wonderment began their flight back to the castle.


Author's Note

Okay I made Advancing Star mentally the age of say the CMC. However because of her strange existence which will be explained later, she is still in the body of a young foal and as such has the physical capabilities of one. So she as of yet, can not express herself with cohesive speech. However she will mature faster physically then typical colts and fillies.
