The Lunar Protègè (stopped for now)

Luna sat in her personal quarters alone, looking at the blank paper and the quill floating in the air, her mind was blank. She did not know what to write to inform Twilight of Wandering Dreamers imminent arrival. She closed her eyes and sighed "Just...write what you would say in person, easy right?" She slowly moved the quill to paper and began the letter.

To my sister's faithful student,

I am writing this letter to inform you of a new ponys imminent arrival to Ponyville and I wish for you to help him become acquainted to being around people.

His name is Wandering Dreamer and not only is he my student but also my son, his magic is unstable at times often leading to either an overload or an embarrassed Dreamer. He does not like being the centre of attention and would prefer conducting research on ancient spells, I'm sure you and him will get along fine. He is visiting to find the meaning of his cutie Mark as well as meet new people. If you and your friends could show him around it would be appreciated.

From Luna.

Luna looked down at the letter and smiled "Guard, could you please see this letter sent to Twilight Sparkle In Ponyville as soon as possible." The guard nodded and look the letter, she smiled as he left. " Now he just needs to get there..."

Wandering Dreamer sat looking at his yellow saddlebags, they were the same yellow as his eyes and bore a small image of his cutie Mark in the bottom right corner. He did not have much to put in it but he did not need much anyway. He took out a small notepad and started checking off items.

-Book on ancient arcane magic

-Notepad

-Emergency food

-Cloak

He frowned at the cloak and took it out of the bag, he looked at the fabric between his hooves, he had found this 2 years ago before he was attacked, there were still droplets of dried blood on the back, he refused to have it cleaned as it was one of the only remaining pieces of evidence towards the attempted murder 2 years ago. His thoughts were interrupted by a deep voice calling from the door. "Sir, your chariot is ready, if you would please follow me." The guard said before turning back to the long hallway and walking away, Dreamer leveraged his bag onto his back and trotted off after the guard. They walked down the chariot in silence, the only noise being their hooves tapping on the floor.

They reached the chariot and green Pegasus was waiting next to it, he had a cutie Mark of wind blowing. "Mornin' my name is Breezy blow and I'll be takin' you to that Ponyville place, please keep all hooves in the chariot and do not distract me while I'm flying. Thank you." Dreamer nodded in agreement and while the Pegasus hooked himself up to the chariot Dreamer thought about what his Mother had said to do.

"When you reach Ponyville go to the library to meet Twilight, she and her friends will show you around the town then you can go around on your own if you wish." He repeated to himself. The words echoed through his head, what if they didn't like him? What if he couldn't find the library? What if they lied to him? He stopped thinking negatively and looked at the chariot, he felt a tap on his back and turned around, it was Prince Blueblood.  "W-what do you want Blueblood? Here to mock me about your AMAZING family tree?" Dreamer said sarcastically.

" Actually I came to wish you a good trip, just try not to be struck be lightning, I'm sure that would be such a shame..." He narrowed his eyes and smiled evilly " Don't worry, I'll make sure Princess Luna is alright." Dreamer winced at the last part, why had Luna told him about that.

"S-shut up, just because I'm her new son doesn't mean you have to be a royal pain in th-" Dreamers statement s interupted by Breezy Blow shouting about how she was all ready to go and could not wait to take me. "Shame I won't be there to see you fall in love...Oh wait, I remember now! Rarity loved you and then you decided to be all snooty and now she hates you... Oh well, it's a shame really, that was your only chance really." He smirked and jamp on the carriage. "I'll be off now, have a fun time with nobody!" He started waving as the chariot picked up speed and left the castle. "How long are we going to be flying for?" He then asked Breezy Blow.

"I'd say an hour or two, I may be fast but I'm carrying you along too. We should hurry though, I see storm clouds, they aren't supposed to be there"  There was strain in her voice as she was going as fast as she could.

Within an hour the storm was upon them, the unnaturally black clouds preventing navigation and the rain was lashing at them like icicles. " The wind is too rough, I can't go much longer..." Breezy Blow was struggling to stay aloft. Suddenly an ear-shattering crack deafness them, they had been struck by a bolt of lightning, Dreamer could feel the air rushing past him as they fell from the sky, he only opened his eyes for a second to see the canopy of Everfree forest below them. With blurry of branch and vines grabbing at them He never expected the ground, with a sickening crunch he hit it full-force, he struggled to keep himself awake but then he heard more branches braking and looked up, the chariot was falling towards him.
