The legend of Eclipse

Luna slept soundly in her bed as the night began to reach its midpoint, being the princess of the night she was tasked with battling nightmares that plagued the minds of many but tonight she was focused in the dreams of her beloved.

"Eclipse are you here?" Luna asked calmly walking through the dream world,
"Luna I should have known you'd come here." Eclipse said running out from the bushes dronrak activated and a crossbow in his other hand. "Now would you mind giving me some backup while you're here?" Eclipse asked as a large shadow in the form of a snake emerged from the same bushes that Eclipse had come from. "A nightmare." Luna exclaimed
"Yeah managed to escape before it got to me but it doesn't know when to bucking give up." Eclipse said firing the crossbow which hit the creature dead centre. Eclipse made sure the bolt was in before focusing his mind and making the bolt explode in a burst of light stunning the nightmare. "Now banish it while it's distracted." Eclipse yelled as Luna used her magic to do as Eclipse asked.

As the nightmare dissipated with a defining shriek Eclipse closed his eyes and the environment began to shift into the Canterlot gardens with a full moon glimmering upon the many flowers most of which were Midnight roses. "I didn't know you lucid dreamed, very few have that gift." Luna said
"Mother had me learn so that I could handle nightmares that attacked me." Eclipse replied
"Interesting." Luna said
"I can't do it like you can though, I can only access my own dreams and I can only defeat the nightmares temporally, that nightmare has been chasing me down for days." Eclipse explained.
"Well now it's gone and you can rest." Luna replied
"Yeah." Eclipse said as he sat down and admired the beauty of the gardens.
Luna could only look at Eclipse in amazement, despite what he had been through and what he is still being put through he still seemed to be happy. "Eclipse you seem so content yet you are imprisoned and could be sentenced to death for treason. Why is this?" Luna asked
"Well I know that I'm innocent and mother has Twilight trying to help me not to mention I'm looking forward to Blue Blood's smug face when I am cleared of all charges." Eclipse answered with a chuckle followed by Luna which resulted in both of them bursting into laughter until they finally calmed down enough to relax.
Luna sat next to Eclipse and looked him in the eyes before leaning forward and kissing him which Eclipse eagerly returned. As the kiss deepened the world around them changed from the gardens to a large bedchamber leaving them lying down in a bed big enough to hold three full sized alicorns.
"Luna I love you with all my heart." Eclipse said lovingly
"And I love you with all my heart." Luna replied
"I promise you Luna after I'm out I am going to take you out for an evening you will never forget." Eclipse said
"I look forward to it, but for now let us rest." Luna said as she closed her eyes and cuddled up to Eclipse. "Good night my dear princess." Eclipse said kissing her on the forehead. As he lay there content in the dream world he had created.

"Oh Eclipse." Luna mumbled in her sleep back in the real world as Celestia walked in to check on her sister only to gasp and blush as she saw a slight wet patch on the sheets between Luna's nether regions. "At least Eclipse has company." Celestia muttered to herself as she closed the door and continued her stroll through the castle "though I should have some clothes sent down to cover him up."

"Wake up prisoner." A guard said knocking on the bars of the prison cell waking up the sleeping prince "Morning 'yawn' or evening, ya just can't tell in prison cells can't ya." Eclipse joked to the guard
"Save it prisoner, Princess Celestia asked the you be given these." The guard said giving Eclipse a pair of pants and a shirt.
"Finally something to cover the privates, about time too I think some of the other prisoners where getting jealous." Eclipse joked putting the clothes on.
"That was a bad joke." The guard said
"Yeah prison life does that to ya." Eclipse replied
"Anyway I have also come to tell you that your trial is in three weeks and unless you can prove innocence which I doubt, you WILL be put to death." The guard said
"Understood sir." Eclipse replied "Also I overheard a group of prisoners in cells nineteen to eight are planning a prison breakout. You may want to look into that." Eclipse said
"Like the guard would trust a traitor like you." The guard muttered as he walked away.
As Eclipse sat in his cell he began to hear a slight chirping noise. "About time ya got here Athena." Eclipse muttered as a green scaled wyvern poked its head through the bars. Athena was given to Eclipse as both a pet and a mount for his fifteenth birthday and was given to him by Sapphire after a year long war that was ended by a treaty that had allowed peace between the two kingdoms. As Athena poked her head through she dropped from her jaws a note from one of his agents who he had hired to get information from inside criminal organizations such as underground fights to the death and drug dealers, Eclipse grabbed the note and began to read.

My Lord Eclipse

As this note comes into your possession I have checked through contacts who claim to have found evidence of your innocence. These contacts however aren't on the straight and narrow if you know what I mean and ask that they be rewarded. I have decided to investigate into their claims further and will report back to you ASAP.

Your friend: Lucky Shot

P.S this makes us even.

"Thanks Athena." Eclipse said getting a happy chirp from the wyvern before she took her head out of the cell and flew back to the aviary where she lived.

"Well it's better than nothing isn't it?" Leon asked nervously "so uh you want top bunk or what?"

"I am grateful for you to grant me a place to stay Leon, but it is strange to share a room with a male, under dragon customs dragons only share a room with their mates or parents." Sapphire replied sitting on the bottom bunk of the small room.

"It's only for three weeks and don't worry it's not like I'm that interested in inter species romantic relationships." Leon replied "At least you're not being tossed in the brig. Or sharing a room with Samuel that guy would fuck anything."

"By fuck of you speak of mating?" Sapphire asked

"Yep."

"Your kind are strange."

"You don 'to know the half of it." Leon replied pulling a can out of the bag he was carrying.

"Want a beer?" Leon asked

"What is beer? Is it like mead?" Sapphire asked

"A bit p, it's much stronger though." Leon replied tossing a second can to her before opening his own and taking a sip if the alcoholic beverage.

Sapphire tried opening the can the same way as Leon but couldn't figure it out and chose to simply poke a hole through the top with her claw. Sapphire took a sip and found the drink to have a slightly bitter taste with a type of after burn feel in her throat as she swallowed. "It's quite bitter." Sapphire said before taking another quick sip.

"Well the main idea is to drink away your sorrows, and get drunk to the point where you pass out and wake up with a splitting headache as well as penis drawn on you face." Leon replied jokingly

"Well since we are going to be here for a while let's drink some troubles away." Sapphire replied as she took a third sip of her beer

"I'll drink to that." Leon replied happy to finally relax after his recon.

20 days later

"Eclipse we finally have had a breakthrough." Lucky shot said to his friend

"Really what is it?" Eclipse asked

"Look at this." Lucky Shot replied handing Eclipse an orb

"A security orb?" Eclipse asked

"From your room, but look." Lucky Shot said as Eclipse stared into the orb in his hand as an image of his room appeared. As Eclipse looked closer he saw a pony in a cloak walk in and write something which on closer inspection where the documents that he had been accused of sending to enemy forces, not only that but he also saw the pony use magic to lift the stamp he used to sign documents as well as hiding the document in his desk draw.

"Aha this can clear my name." Eclipse said

"Yes and we can pin it on the real culprit." Lucky Shot replied

Surprised by this Eclipse took another look and sure enough he saw the cutie mark of the pony as it fled the scene, a cutie mark that belong to Somepony Eclipse knew all too well.

"Blueblood you backstabbing son of a manticore." Eclipse muttered

"We present this tomorrow and your name is cleared." Lucky Shot replied

"Good, keep it under lock and key and as for your contacts that helped you I ask that you give me their names so that I can pay them personally." Eclipse replied

"Yes sir, the ponies are known as Sharp sight, Cloud Trotter, and Flash wing." Lucky shot replied

"Thank you." Eclipse replied as Luck Shot left "You are in for a surprise tomorrow Blueblood." Eclipse said to himself as he leaned against the wall to sleep and once more travel the dream world with Luna.
