midnight farwell
the last goodbye
Previous ChapterLuna stared out the window of the canterlot castle with her usual fake smile. she didst care for this anointing and loud city or this new and improved castle, but the one near the quiet little town was still being (renovated) as they where being told. not that it mattered she couldn't go back if she wanted to, there where o many ghosts there. she turned and nodded at a guard as he walked by. they all seemed to like her,but also still seemed to be scared of her, you'd think after ten years they'd learn.
It had been ten years sense the flames consumed there home, and sense Adrian left, and sense her father passed as well. she missed her parents, truly and deeply, but she honestly missed Adrian more. she missed his smile, the way he held her, the sound of his voice, even the look in his eyes when he saw her as a young princess, but now she wasn't so young, and she knew better. she knew he was dead but she didn't WANT to believe it. part of her still wished she would walk thought the castle gates and tell her that she needed to come home and he would get back to work.
but she knew better. she passed a mirror as she walked down the hall. compared to a filly she was not recognizable, but she often got comments on how beautiful and attractive she was becoming. she had her fathers wings, there was no denying that, she was honestly surprised they didn't radiate a black aura. er horn wasn't that long but she had grown into her magic quite well, better than anyone ever expected.her main was long and messy but she didn't care. she liked it, it made her feel free, and it stooped her from seeing the heep of walls she called a home. but that wouldn't be a problem much longer.
Celestia despite all odds had still stuck by her. she often wondered why her sister bothered to care for the ponys, but that was her choice, Luna just had to stick by it. it wasn't much of a surprise when her sister got her cutie mark, and it came out to be identical to her mothers. and then without another word on the subject Celestia began to take control of raising the sun. Luna suggested that they should leave and let everyone solve the problems on there own but now she knew that that time was past. with a smile of determination she walked towards the royal groomers.
hours latter she finally came out looking like a absolutely jaw doping dead gorgeous mare and walked towards the her sisters room. "if she can do it then i will to for all of them" a tear rolled down her face as she rounded into an empty hallway. "is hat what you think? that they'll just fall in love with you" an old but familiar pony rounded the corner. flashes of a little filly trying to open a door came to her mind. "so,your"Majesty' hows the royal life treating you, ya know seance your about to throw away the only chance for freedom you have" the pony diapered behind a pillar and reaper right behind her. "i mean we went through all that work to get everyone away, especially that grubby mut of a father" Luna began to grow tense " he had to be the hardest to kill ,but then it was easy, that mut Adrian just wandered off, and the funeral, HA, it was so easy for us to start that fire, i mean heavens just, all that untapped power," He ran his hoof under her chin only to have her smack it away. turning around another pillar, he diapered.
"you must have really wanted this spot to have killed your parents, what would your sister say if she found out, you poor thing" Luna looked he walked around on the ceiling. finally she broke her silence "who, who are you" falling onto the ground he looked at her. " oh Luna dearest lovely princess of the night, lets just say i"m someone who likes to cause chaos, my name is discord, you may have heard of me" Luna jumped away from the god of chaos. "leave, now" he merely chuckled. "i have a better idea" rushing her he shoved his hand into her mind.
she saw herself sitting in her room watching the moon "i want to do what daddy does" another flash she saw her dad siting alone as she walked up a few nights before he died "daddy can i get a hug" the old and unknowing victim held his daughter close not suspecting her of sucking the life out of his old soul even though he was just a memory Luna screamed to try and stop it, again it diapered only to be replaced with one of her mother and everyone of the guards in the old castle around the kings funeral pyre only to have the flames come to life. within seconds it had claimed everyone around the castle and all the guards, no one had made it out that night. "this one had to be my favorite, i loved hearing them scream, so you see my dear daughter of the night, i did this all for you" his deep and sick laughter filled her head.
finally it stopped she stood up to see herself in the window, the sun was going to set soon,and she needed to find her sister. she studied the crown on her head, some days she forgot she got it from her father, she could see his face proud of her, not only for what she was doing, but because they would understand how she felt right now. she slowly walked up to the castles main balcony. she waited outside the doors. she knew in her heart that what the god of chaos had said was true. even if she didn't want to believe it. she wasn't sure if she would ever tell her sister, but she knew one thing. one day, she would get revenge on discord. weather it was right or wrong, he would pay. and with that in mind she opened the door with a smile and began her new life.
