The legend of Eclipse

Leon stirred from his sleep as daylight shone through the window of Zecora's home rising him from his sleep, Leon was is a state of where he was conscious but his mind was still waking up it wasn't long before he realized where he was. "Holy shit." Leon yelled quickly getting up waking Zecora from her sleep

"Leon what is wrong?" Zecora asked

"No this isn't happening this isn't happening." Leon said still coming to grips with what was happening

"Leon it's all right your safe." Zecora said trying to calm him down

"Your not real none of this is it's just an illusion an hilucination caused by that blue plant." Leon said pulling a 10mm pistol from his vest "Well it's not gonna work this time.".

Zecora knew she had to think fast before she fell victim to whatever item Leon had just pulled out and pointed at her "Leon this isn't an illusion I am real." Zecora said beggening to panic from fear jumping as Leon shot just in front of her foot

"Your not gonna trick me I'm still in the clearing I have a rabbit cooking over there." Leon said pointing to Zecora's cauldron

"Leon I'm really sorry about this." Zecora said taking a bottle from the shelf and throwing the contents at Leon.

Leon jumped back ready to shoot but soon found himself beginning to become tired as the blue liquid released some fumes causing him to lose caunsiousness fast. Leon struggled to fight it but soon found himself on the floor of Zecora's hut completely knocked out "I should get Twilight to get a look at him." Zecora thought as she took some rope and tied Leon so that his hands and feet where tied together before leaving to ask her purple unicorn friend to help her with the situation.

Luna stood at the balcony of her room sunlight streaming down on her mane giving it a slight glow, Luna was trying to keep her mind on what star designs to do for the night but she found herself constantly wandering off back to the night Eclipse and her first met. Luna shook her head to clear her thoughts "How can I think of Eclipse like that he's Celeastia's son and therefore my nephew but... He was adopted by Celestia so technically it wouldn't be incest... Wouldn't it?." Luna said to herself sighing as she saw Celestia fly over to her.

"Good morning Luna." Celestia said

"Oh um Good morning Celestia." Luna replied trying to hide her inner conflict

"Are you alright Luna?" Celestia asked concerned for her little sister

"Well Celestia you see um..." Luna started nervously

"It's about Eclipse isn't it."Celestia finished

"H...how did you know?" Luna asked

"I saw you two dancing on the night of his birthday and I know you well enough to know how you where looking at him." Celestia answered with a wink causing Luna to blush

"But Celestia he is your son and therefore my nephew wouldn't it be incest?" Luna asked

"He is my son that is true but he is only my son legally, if you wish to be with him it is allowed and would not be incest." Celestia explained.

Luna thought about what Celestia had said and couldn't help but smile, it was true that Eclipse was legally Celestia's son but that didn't matter she loved Eclipse and there was no reason why they couldn't be together.

"Thank you Celestia you have really cleared my mind about this." Luna said "Now if you excuse me I think I should go check on a certain captain of the guard to be." and with that Luna spread her wings and took to the sky.

"All right men we'll need to leave as soon as possible go to the barracks and get what you need pack ONLY your weapons and survival equipment it's going to take us three days at the least to get to the western coast and we can't afford any casualties as the new recruits are still in training." Eclipse ordered to three solders who just nodded and whent to fulfill their duties.

"Well looks like somepony is getting used to being the next captain of the guard pretty well." a feminine voice said causing Eclipse to turn around only to see princess Luna standing there.

"Oh hello Luna..." Eclipse said

"Hello Eclipse I have just come to notify you that I have decided to personally supervise this mission." Luna informed

"Luna I am quite sure my men and I can handle any situation." Eclipse replied

"I have no doubt about you nor your team but as you are to become the next captain of the guard I must view your abilities in the field myself, You wil not need to protect me either as I have come prepared." Luna said lifting her right hoof revealing a pitch black dronrak

"Very well Luna you may accompany us." Eclipse said

"Good I look forward to seeing how you preform when leading a group." Luna replied.

Soon the guards returned with their equipment and after Eclipse explained why Luna was going with them they left Canterlot and started their journey to the western coast.

Solders patrolled the beach guns ready to attack anything that came too close while scientists worked over on the deck of the ship preparing what they called 'The link' as that was happening a man with blonde hair and green eyes walked into the captains cabin at the top floor of the ship.

"What is it Paul?" the captain asked

"Sir as you may know we sent out James Fleming, Adam Morin and Leon Mercer on recon yesterday and James and Adam where the only ones to return." Paul said

"Yes and I'm going to send a search party to find him if he hasn't returned by 0800 tomorrow." the captain replied

"Sir I believe that won't be necessary as you may want to see this." Paul said handing the captain a disk

"What's this for?" the captain asked

"Sir Leon has discovered that their is inelegant life here this disk is a recording of his encounter." Paul answered

"I see, well then return to your duty and I will have a look at this." the captain said dismissing Paul as he turned around to watch the final preparations for 'The link'.
