A new rule
Chapter two: The Royal Twosome
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Who art thou?” The strange mare with wings and a horn demanded.
The girls just blinked as the alicorn waited for an answer. Star Spirit was the first to speak up; “Um... I am Princess Star Spirit and this is my sister princess Catseye pearl. Who are you, if that is alright to ask?” Star Spirit said nervously.
The mare responded “We are princess Luna. Thou shalt follow me.” Looking at each other, the girls started to follow Luna and they started to giggle a bit while they were walking.
Star Spirit whispered to Catseye: “Hey... you were right. New planet, new ponies. Plus I can't believe we are the first halonians to step hoof in this place.” They saw an overgrown patch of forest where it looked like another spaceship crashed there. Maybe they weren’t the first visitors from outer space….
Soon they later they arrived in a town. Several ponies crowded Luna. The sisters backed up. They lived all their life in a small kingdom so they were not used to such a crowd. Luna picked up the sisters using her magic and took them to the flying carriage. The girls were amazed. The ponies here accomplished more in a year than they would in a month. Luna turned towards the sisters and asked “So you are not from here. Am I correct?” Star Spirit couldn't believe it. The mare had changed her voice so quick.
“Oh yes we are from Halon. And may I say your kingdom looks absolutely wonderful! I wish I could live here…” Said Catseye dreamily, stifling a yawn. “We ran away from home....”
Luna felt sorry for the sisters. “Why did you run away child?” she asked. Both of the sisters answered “To see the world!” Catseye touched the seat of the carriage by accident and she started feeling dizzy. “Star Spirit... it’s happening again... the dimensional scream...” Star Spirit turned quickly and helped her sister lay down. “What do you see sis?” she asked. “I- I see...a sky...a palace... a.... statue?...a statue of.. a dragon thing... it broke out...no..NO!” Catseye said before her eyes snapping open. She was drenched in sweat, and stirring.
Luna was fascinated. A pony who could predict events happening in time. “We are here... at Canterlot.” Luna said, looking concerned. The sisters watched as the carriage flew down. Star Spirit helped her sister out of the carriage and down on the ground.
Catseye said “I- I’ve never had one that powerful before... what does it mean Star Spirit. Oh what does it mean? ” then Catseye fainted. Star Spirit gasped and caught Catseye before she hit the ground.
She turned to Luna and begged “Please, please help me.... help her...please...” Luna picked both of them up and put them on her back. “Thank you...” Star Spirit said. Then she grabbed ahold to her sister and held her tight.
Star Spirit was amazed at the inside of the castle. Then she saw another pony sitting on a throne that was an alicorn, but looked nothing like Luna. She had a bright white coat with flowing locks of pink green and blue. She was also taller than Luna “Dear sister what have you found?” the pony asked, speaking up.
Luna answered “I have two fillies that say they come from a different planet. They came out of that rocket I stopped from crashing into the forest.”
Star Spirit spoke up “Um... your majesties.... I am Star Spirit of planet halon and this is my sister Catseye pearl. I mean princess Catseye. We ran away from life at the castle...”
The pony sitting on the throne said “I am princess Celestia of Equestria. I am glad to have met you. Come here now...” Star Spirit crossed over to the older looking princess and Celestia embraced her. She began again “Oh my dear... you have been though a lot... planet travel... we don’t have that yet... let’s get your sister resting and you can tell me all about your travels and your planet. Ok?” Star Spirit nodded.
A few minutes later Catseye was resting in Celestia's bed and Star Spirit and the princess were talking. Luna walked into Celestia’s room and looked after Catseye. She looked like she was having a nightmare. Maybe a vision. She started to rub Catseye's head and sing to her softly. Catseye started to calm down. Luna smiled. Then she noticed her wings. They were almost like an insect's. She continued to sing. It was like her when she was a filly. Celestia would sing to Luna when she would have nightmares. Catseye was all calmed down now. Luna turned off the lights and closed the door.
“Very well” said Celestia, “You can stay with one of my students, Twilight Sparkle. She is kind and she would be open to you as she is to books. I think you will like Equestria.”
Just then Catseye walked out of the bedroom. “Uhg” she groaned, rubbing one of her eyes with her hoof. “What happened...huh...Star Spirit!” she exclaimed. Suddenly wide awake and looking surprised. “Catseye!” Star Spirit said as she ran to her. They gave each other a big hug and then Star Spirit explained everything. When it was all over Catseye said “Well then! Let’s go find Twilight Sparkle!” and they ran out of the castle laughing and giggling.
Celestia and Luna smiled. Both watching the girls and being reminded of themselves when they were little. “Hey Tia.... remind you of some pony? Or ponies?” Luna asked Celestia.
Celestia turned, smiled and said “Oh yes. Very much.”
