Chapters "Sister, this is a enormous responsibility, raising a child especially one like this." Princess Celestia told her with her usual serious, but loving tone. She was worried for Luna, having stress of raising a child even for Luna was making Celestia unsure. "Art thou saying we art not up for the task? We is capable of raising a child Dear Sister!" She was genuinely worried for Luna. The stress of raising a child was not something one would take lightly, even one such as Luna. "Art thou saying we art not up for the task? We art quite capable of raising a child, dear Sister!” Luna’s facial expression was one of annoyance, easily overcoming her sisters doubts surely. Luna had her mind set on raising Drake, and more than likely wasn't about to give in on the matter. And in the mind of Celestia, it became quite clear that it could be good for her, someone to care for and love, even if it is a child before a lover. She was quite lonely and this would probably brighten her mood. Maybe raising the child would show her responsibility. "Lulu... I'm not going to go against your decision. But, be careful, I'm not quite sure how our citizens would react to this. I am very glad that you would want to care for a child. However like I said, be warned Equestria hasn't seen a human for thousands of years. They attacked us before and I want you to love and care for this child like no other Luna." The apprehension on Celestia’s face was rather blunt and obvious.
Luna's' eyes sparked in glee. "Thank thee sister! We will always love him! We promise thee!" She instantly hugged Celestia nuzzling her. Celestia chuckled lightly nuzzling her back. "Have you thought of a name for the child?" She asked curiously. She had to know the name after all. "Drake.. his name shall be Drake." She responded smiling. It took her a little time but it was a suitable name after all. "Alright, Prince Drake Luna will be his name. You did the right thing of finding this child and caring for him." She said looking at the painted glass of the 'Mane 6'. "Thank thee sister, trust us! We art overly happy that thou agree with us.." Luna looked back focusing her eyes to seeing Twilight with Spike trotting down the hall, looked like in the middle of the conversation "Oh! Twilight! Spike! Tis' good to see both of thee awake and ready!" She called out galloping to them. Spike finished his sentence and glanced at Luna. "Oh! Good morning Princess Luna!" Spike said with a cheery smile.
"Twilight, Spike, we have something to show thou. Please do not be frightened." She motioned them to Luna's room. Spike and Twilight raised brows but Twilight followed her. "Luna.. What is going on? Are you finally going to tell me why you were acting so strange last night?" She asked with knitted brows, she was curious why Luna was so hyped up on the bottle incident.. Something HAD to be up. "Please Twilight. Please do not be frightened and use your inside vocals.." She warned slowly opening the door with her magic, to show a sleeping little Drake. His eyes closed in a deep slumber.. But he could been easily woken at a notices moment. Twilight's eyes widened as she look at the night mare.. A human.. The first once since thousands of years. "W-What is that? I-Is that..?" She asked whispering like Luna told her. "Yes..Tis a human foal.. Though.. He is adorable and harmless." Twilight was very curious now. Why would Princess Luna bring in a human foal? Even since she knew that Equestria was attacked by these before.
"Where did you find him? There never has been a human in Equestria.. Well.. Ever since thousands of years!" "We know. He was in a alleyway near a corner of a Ring store.. He looked so skinny and dirty. We do not know how long he was there." Twilight gave a more sympathetic look. Maybe it was the right decision. He didn't deserve to be alone and freeze out in the night. It was horrible to find a foal just abandoned out in a dirty alleyway. "Oh my. That's horrible.. Finding a poor child in those conditions.. You did the right thing Luna.. No worries." Twilight said re-assuring her. Twilight now knew she would do anything to protect Drake. "But...My biggest question is... How did he get here? Celestia sealed off Equestria from any other creature getting in." Twilight said. "We know. Thy question is the same as our mind asked." She replied, trotting in the room, carefully hopping onto the bed, cuddling with Drake. "What's his name?" Spike asked with his head tilted, tip toeing in to not awake the sleeping child. "Drake.. His name is Drake.."
Twilight grinned trotting in with Luna as well, Getting a better look at him. "He is so precious. Like an angel foal." Twilight cooed looking at him. He didn't seem harmful or dangerous.. Besides.. Luna could raise this human to be a loving and friendly colt like no other. In her mind, she could just imagine him being the next Prince of the night. Spike sat near Luna, looking closely at Drake. "So, are you going to take care of him Princess?" Spike asked Luna with a curious smile.. It was going to be so much fun to show him all kinds of stuff he could do. She nodded slowly, Looking back at the baby dragon. "He is now our son.We will always love the little one.." Luna gave a tender, gentle kiss on Drake's forehead. "I love you little Drake. Never forget." She whispered in his ear as the sun beamed through the glass windows onto the bed sheet. "WHAT IS THIS AUNTIE LUNA!? YOU BRING A FOUL CREATURE INTO OUR CASTLE AND THINK YOU CAN CLAIM HIM?!" A loud shout came from the door way waking Drake up instantly making him cry.. It was rich whited furred Prince Blueblood.. the Nephew of Celestia and Luna. "Blueblood! You just woke up the child!" Twilight said gritting her teeth in anger. Twilight wasn't fond of Blueblood in anyway.
Blueblood pampered his fixed mane and trotted in. "And of anyhow should I care for the little disgusting thing?" Luna was now enraged. "THOU WILL SILENCE THY TONGUE BLUEBLOOD!" She shouted using her Canterlot voice. Making Drake cry louder. Although she regretted it now, she may have just found this child but she knew she loved him unlike his old parents. She licked his tears with her cold, wet tongue. "Shhh.. Sweetie.. WE are sorry we had to do that.." She said nuzzling Drake. "This is unbelievable Auntie Luna.. You bring a foul creature into our castle. What if he becomes are threat to OUR citizens!?" "That shall not happen Blueblood. Now, take thy leave before we get very angry." She threatened as he huffed. "Very well.. Do not cry to me when I warned you." He said flicking his mane and trotted out. "Ugh! That Blueblood I swear!" Twilight groaned, sighing as she went up to Drake. "Shhh. The meanie stallion is gone now sweetie." She cooed to Drake, making him giggle a bit. "He is soooo cute!" Twilight quietly squealed. Luna smiled with Spike stroking Drake's forehead with his purple claw. He was now loved by Celestia, Spike, and now Twilight. She was thankful of everything that has happened to her so far.
"S-So does this mean I'm a uncle now Princess?" Spike asked Luna still his gaze fixed on Drake playing his claw. "Of coarse little Spike. Thou can be his uncle if so wishes." Spike almost jumped for joy, but kept his balance on the bed. "Thanks so much Princess!" Twilight could only give a quiet giggle. Seeing Spike already love this child when he just met him only two minutes ago. Luna just wanted to sleep with her new adopted child, but she had royal meetings to attend to sadly. "Twilight. We have meetings to attend to this morning. Might it be ok if thou and Spike could watch over him?" Twilight raised her head and gave a big, wide smile. "Of coarse Luna! I would be honored! Thank you." Luna gave a giggle as well. "It was no trouble at all. Please make sure he is fed and changed." Luna ordered. "I got it jogged in my mind Luna, thanks so much and good luck!"
Luna took her leave and trotted out the door closing it behind. "Twilight? Might it be ok if I could hold him?" Twilight gave her little nephew a gentle, quick kiss on the head. "Of coarse Spike. Just be careful ok?" Spike rolled his eyes knowing he wouldn't do anything to hurt the little guy. "I know Twilight. I just wanna hold him is all." Twilight sighs deep. "I know, Spike. You're responsible enough and I trust you with my life Spike." Spike carefully picked Drake off the bed, holding him in his arms. "He's so cute, and warm." Spike said whispering to Twilight, her nodding in approval. "I agree with you Spike. I just hope this won't be too hard with this one." Spike looked back at Drake. "Well, whatever happens we will love him always and be there for him." Spike said. Twilight paced around the room with worry. "B-But what if I mess something up with Drake? Do something wrong?" Spike shook his head in disapproval. "Twilight. You worry too much... I'm sure you will do the best you can." Spike looked out the window, seeing many ponies trotting out and about, them not knowing what was really happening in the castle. "You'll do the best and you can do it like always. Just believe yourself Twilli, you can do it."
Twilight stopped pacing and looked out the window as well. "You're right Spike. All I can do is believe and try! I'll be the best auntie he can ever have!"

The Start Of A Young Prince
1980 OF ROYAL NIGHT DIARIES #1
Dear Drake was sleeping peacefully tonight. Sister Tia has come visit him after such awhile.. Though We do worry about him. He has been crying for many other nights. Maybe it is just Us and something else is it. We tried changing him, he was clean. He didn't take the bottle when We tried to feed him. He wasn't sick. We tried to check his vitals for any sign of sickness. Nothing.. Please hope it's just Us.
I've also introduced him to our pet, Philomena. It was so cute when Drake hugged Philomena. The guards as well is warming to the child which we art glad for.
Sister Tia thinks he will make a great Prince one day, after when We step down. We believe such too, no matter what happens, the child will be by Our side MOST of the time.

Author's Note
I know this is a short chapter.. I wasn't quite sure how to make this one so I decided to use this to skip to when he was 7. Amazing right? -NOPE-
Anyhow.. I'm working my ass of this story.. It's draining me.. Oh well.. I'm trying at least and that is what matters..
Luna closes the night diary and slips it under the bed. She sighs wiping a little tear that stung her face.. Looking at the red and pink horizon. It was so many years since she found the little child.. So many memories. So many close calls. So many laughs. So many tears shed. "It was been so many years since thee were so little.. But.. We believe we should show Drake for the first time of Us raising the moon. Besides We made a little surprise last week."
She said chuckling to herself. Luna got up elevating herself wincing in a bit of pain. She leaned forward and stretched her forelegs and backlegs out, each had a satisfying pop. She gave a small Moan in relaxation. "Well. Might as well get Our child.." She trotted to the door, using her magic to open it while two guards stood there. They quickly saluted as if on cue for something.
"Good evening, your Highness!" The two guards said in unison, bowing respectfully. They then returned to their blanked expression while standing side by side. "Good evening Privates."
She said trotting downstairs with a slight rush. She kept thinking on how happy Drake would be to see her raising the moon to him for the first time since he was old enough to remember it. Secondly, it was also the first time that he spoke his first word.
She kept hearing giggling and laughing near her. She could recognize where it was coming from since she lived thousands of years here in this castle even the day she was born. She stops at the room in the Library. seeing Drake giggling while wearing Celestia's crown on his little head,
Celestia sat near him with a little smile on her face. Drake's red wool pajamas on his hairless body, deep brown eyes that stuck out with happiness, brown hair that touched to his eyebrows, most likely in need of a haircut, his ice drop necklace hung off his neck swaying back and forth, small body around 4'5 tall.
"You're so silly Drake." Celestia said nuzzling him. Usually she was so busy doing her royal calls, but this night she had free time to spend with her grandchild for now. "Thanks Auntie Tia! I love you!" He said with pure happiness on his face, hugging her.
Celestia blushed under her fur, she was lucky Luna raised him so well. Celestia loved this human like Luna has as well. She would do anything to protect his life. "Thank you Drake sweetheart. I love you too Drake." Luna trots up, trying to hold a smug. He was well behaved with Celestia as well which was good.
"Ah! Drake! We see thou art being a cutie with Tia." Luna said teasingly, she liked to sometimes give him a hard time too. "M-Mommmm!" Drake lowly shouted. What Drake hated more then anything... Was being embarrassed like that.
Drake groaned blushing himself as both Luna and Celestia gave a light chuckle. "Drake.. We came down here to show thou something. Come with Us." Celestia levitated the crown back on top of her head and smiled.. meanwhile Luna levitated Drake onto Luna's back, the both trotting off to the main balcony.
"Mommy? Where are we going?" Drake asked with a little young voice. He didn't know what was going on but they were elevating stair levels. "It's a little surprise sweetie." She replied opening the doors to the main balcony where Celestia and Luna would watch the ponies doing their daily business in Canterlot.
"WOW! It's so high!" Drake exclaimed. Luna sat down on her haunches with Drake on her back. He never ever thought that they were that high off the Canterlots' grounds. "Now Drake.. Watch the sky ok?" She instructed. "Ok Mommy." He simply replied.
He was so excited to see what was in the sky. Drake pierced his eyes at the sky, waiting for the moon to come up; Luna's horn glowed bright, her aura shining on the bright rock.. It slowly elevated up with ease. The sun fully down and the moon shining bright.
What Drake saw was amazing. He wanted to cry. On the moon, the words carved into the rock said 'I love you Drake.' "Mommy. Thank you!" said gleefully hugging his mother.. He loved it so much.. "We love thou as well.. Never forget little Drake.." She said replying to the tight hug. "Mommy, thank you. For doing this. I will never forget."
He couldn't keep his eyes off the moon, eyes sparkled in wonder and amazement. He knew that she is the goddess of the night, but never did he know the FULL story of her past.
He said yawning lightly, laying on her lower neck, tired. "Mmm. We see thou art getting tired. Let us sing thee a little lullaby." Luna said as she cleared her throat. She began to hum softly letting her child fall asleep to her soothing voice.

Drake was sleeping already in a flash from his mother soothing, and calming voice. Slowly rising, she trotted off the balcony to the Royal bedchambers, Guards bowed after her as she entered her bedroom, only her nod in response. gently placing him on the bed. She used her teeth to cover Drake up with her blankets.
"Good night Drake. Have sweet dreams."
She whispered into his ear, tenderly kissing his forehead goodnight. She closed the door using her magic which glowed a midnight blue. Watching Drake fully asleep. She looked under her bed and took out her 'Royal Night Diaries.' She sat on her haunches propping open the Diary. Her magic levitating a ink holder that was closed shut. As well she brought over a quills around 6 in them. "Ok. Let's begin after such a while." She said to herself quietly before she started to jot down her thoughts.
Slowly giggling as she wrote, she kept on thinking to herself. "We shalt teach Drake our lullaby once more since he was such a young age when We taught him it." Something bothered her, when Drake had to start school in almost two weeks, worry of him being made fun of and picked on for being a human. "We dost love Drake, we dost... But... It tis my Sister's law for young fillies and colts." She whispered.
Luna stood up for a brief moment, trotting over to Drake's side, stroking his hair with her hoove. "We art sorry, Drake... We will do everything We can to make thy life better then what thine had before..."

Feels in this..
Song belongs to it's owner, yada yada yada. Thought like it would fit.
The night clicked the window glass, each sound. Making a thinking sound on the glass. It didn't bother Luna for she was laying down on her pink cushion. Jotting down her thoughts in the Royal Night Diaries. She was used to the night sounds and noises that usually happened.
1987 OF ROYAL NIGHT DIARIES #8
'We art becoming worried of Drake. He is hearing whispers around the castle from castle staff and mostly our annoying nephew Blueblood. He tells me that he heard them saying he eats foals, Scares little fillies at night, He is a monster and abomination. I find these rumors unbelievable and plain preposterous. Our child is the sweetest, kind, and caring human We've ever met. He isn't like the humans like thousands of years ago. He is different and We art glad for that. We love him no matter what he is or what he says. Though, The scars still need to heal in his mind. We shall protect him in any-'
Luna stops her writing to hear silent, soft whimpering. She looked over by Drake, seeing he was twitching his body slowly. Tossing and turning each twitch. Luna arose from her pillow to comfort him. Her eyes full of worry, her senses telling her to see what his dream was making him so scared. "Shhh.. Tis ok.. We art here now.."
She gently stroked his deep brown hair. She had to see what was bothering him in his sleep. It was a natural power the mare could use, to go into dreams and scare away nightmares from foals and children. The tip of her horn glowed a bright white vanishing instantly out of the room.
She arrived in a small foreign room. With a small black T.V. grey walls in the room, The glass windows with old cobwebs, no light shined in guessing it was pitch black of night, brown wooden table that stretched wide, black scratched up couches that showed wears and tears in it. Probably from old age. Some green glassed bottles that showed the label for adult drinks, a small dimly lit Lamp in need of a bulb change.
"Where... Art we?"
She kept looking around, interested in the furniture that was around her.
She asked questioning herself. A loud smash of a glass came from the room next to her, tinkling softly on the ground. As well a loud pitched scream came from it. She knew that scream from anywhere. She had to be careful, even if this was a dream. Her ears folded back, seeing what was happening next door.
She trotted slowly to the room. A small kitchen with a human mare standing beside a stove, Her red hair falling to her shoulder, blue eyes that gleaned with evil, Her red skirt up to her waist as her arms were crossed. Luna looked to the right seeing a drunken human stallion. His dark bags under his eyes showed no emotion. Her brown hair short enough to a small buzz cut, His black bloodied shirt and dark blue jeans, beating on a little Drake. This was his nightmare.
A nightmare that broke Luna's heart. Tears streamed as she watched her own baby foal being forcefully punched and beaten. "T-This WAS his parents...? W-We cannot believe such happened... Drake Our baby." She stepped back slightly to not be seen by these horrid humans.
"I really wish that you weren't such a stupid little prick! Do you understand me?!" The human stallion screamed at the top of his lungs, making Luna wince slightly. "Yes Papa!! Stop hurting me please!! I'll be better!" Drake shouted in hopes of him listening but to no effect, a strong right came in contact with Drake's face.
"You'll never be better. You will always fuck things up.. Like you always do here." The human mare then chimed in. "You were always a stupid little retard that couldn't do things right.. I wish we would've had a better son or even a daughter!"
Luna snapped from her saddened gaze and her expression suddenly turned angry.. Fury boiled in her mind. She was so angry that her motherly instincts overbeared her body. "LEAVE THIS LITTLE CHILD ALONE AND NEVER RETURN TO HIS DREAMS AGAIN!!" Luna screamed stomping her hooves on the stone flooring. Making the two disappear like sand falling from hooves. Leaving a tattered and beaten Drake on the ground, shivering and crying. She trotted over quickly to her son sitting on her haunches... wanting to cuddle her son, just love on him furiously.
"M-Mommy?" His eyes blackened, swollen from the hard punches.. His nose bleeding lightly.. A large and severe bruise on his lower right side of his head. Drake simply asked as he arose from his fear.
"Shhhhhh.. tis ok baby.. Come here." She cooed to him, hoping to comfort him, letting him know she was now here. Luna quickly pulled her child into a tight hug as Drake cried on her shoulder. Luna rubbed his back with her left hoove. "Shhhh.. Shhh.. tis ok.. I'm here now Drakie.. Shhh.." She gently hushed him to calm him down and comfort him.
"Drake. we art going to wake thou up ok? In 3..2..1.." Her horn glowed bright again.. Still holding onto Drake. The dream ended with a poof. Luna still holding onto Drake.. At least he was not injured in the real world, Luna thought.
His eyes fluttered open looking into Luna's azure eyes. "M-Mommy... I-I s-aw you in my dream." Luna hushed him, putting her hoove to his lip. "Sweetheart. Now we know thys past of thy original parents. We went into thys dream to see what was troubling thee. W-We never thought these humans were thy parents. What these... humans say is never true. Thou are loved, thou art not stupid, thou art not messing anything up. We art happy with who thee art and We will always love thou for being thyself because that is what makes thee special."
Drake would never thought she would ever say that, he always had these dreams but never had the mind to tell her to not worry her. But she found out herself.
Luna cradled her child to her chest, putting her hoove on his head rocking him slow and gently. Drake tucked his arms and legs in crying on her mothers chest. He rubbed his head against Luna's fur to feel safe. Luna bent her head down licking his tears away with her cool tongue. Drake knew this was her way of calming him and clearing his tears. "I-I love you... mommy." Luna continued to rock him gently beginning to make him sleepy.
"Goodnight Drake. Never forget, We love thou so much." She clutched her son with her hooves, not letting him go as she to fell asleep from exhaustion. Drake smiled weakly resting his head on Luna's chest feeling safe and loved.

There ya guys go! Another chapter for your enjoyment and crying feels. I made this because I have nothing to do and I've been brain storming this all day. I'll add another chapter when I get home. Bear with me, I'm still trying to focus on school as well
The next morning arose quite quickly, seemed as if the night wanted to end quickly. He felt bad for making his mommy comfort him for some stupid dream. He thought to himself but like she said, she loved him so much. More then his old parents. The aura of the sun made it's way up. Luna was not there with Drake. She probably had royal calls. Drake woken up as soon as the light dawned through the window. "Mmmm?? Mommy?" He questioned looking around, his head tingling from blood flowing into his head. He thought that she would be in one of the 4 places. The Bathroom, The throne area, Royal Garden, Meeting Hall for where Luna and Celestia met with different kind of kingdoms. Like Changelings, griffons, Zebras, and all others he couldn't remember. He got up rubbing his eyes as he stood up, walking to the door, putting his small hands on the door. Opening it up seeing two of Luna's guards looking at him. It was usual business of the guards here. Guard the Princesses and Drake, look out for trouble and such. These stallions look like that they had not been scared for like... years, but as soon as Drake left the room, the two guards looked down at Drake apparently happy to see him up and awake.
"Ah! Good morning Your highness." The first guard said with a smile on his face. "Good morning... Where is mommy?" he asked the first guard. "She is currently at a royal meeting right now. Nopony can visit her at this time and state." The guard said, with his eyes piercing into Drake. Drake turned his head to the left, looking at nothing. "Umm. Thank you!" He said quickly to avoid awkwardness. The guard raised his brow to an extent. "Now, now. Don't be causing mischief, ye' hear?" The second guard warned him with his eyes looking at him with seriousness. "Y-Yes sir." Drake sighs, just wanting to cuddle by his mother. I wasn't really necessary to call the guards 'sir' since he was high royalty but he felt the need to do it because he felt they would get mad at him for not addressing them as 'sir' though they never told him he didn't have to. "Now go on and play little one. We have jobs to do." Drake did as he was told as ran off downstairs, turning his head making sure that the guards were not following him. "And I was planning to play with mommy too." He moaned sadly. "Psst! Drake! Over here!" A voice called out his name. He recognized the voice.
Drake glanced over where the voice was calling him, it was his Uncle Spike... Twilight's Baby Dragon and assistant. Spike waved his hand over for Drake to follow him over. "Uncle Spike? What's going on?" He asked him. It sounded urgent, so Drake decided to listen to Spike. "Drake. We need to go to a safer spot, There was a 6th kingdom king missing.. And he's trying to find you so he can kidnap you. I know it sounds like I'm making things up but trust me!" Drake was more scared now. Somepony wanted to Kidnap Drake. He should listen to Spike in case it is true. Drake lowly followed behind Spike, his back crooked to follow the line of sneaking away. Spike glanced to his right and sweat ran down his neck fast. "Uncle Spike, Where is he and what do you-" Spike cut him off by pulling him behind a wall, being able to eavesdrop.
"I am looking for the human child Luna has adopted. I request for his appearance." A low scratchy voice said to a Unicorn guard. Drake peered aside the wall to see what the guard was talking to. His eyes shot wide as he saw a Grey haired wolf, about 6'4 inches tall, strong muscles protruded from his arm, telling Drake that he could literally crush a strong skull with a slam of a fist.
"Grey haired wolf, about 6'4 inches tall, strong muscles protruded from his arm, I think that he could literally hit through a thick wall.
Author's Note
What do you guys think? Should the Guard tell where Drake is or seal the information? Please let me know in the comments below.. I'm excited to hear your thoughts.
The unicorn guard pointed in the Direction of where Drake was.. His hoof still as the Wolf king smirked standing up fully.. He looked more like a 6'6 taller now. A low smug of evil and grimace on his face, however, Spike wasn't ready to see the true face he had not seen. For if Drake had not waken for now, he wouldn't have to deal with this.
Drake was more afraid, he was scared beyond belief his life would end so young. Backing up ever so slightly only to bump into a wall. Now he is cornered, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, sweat ran down his face, drip after drip on the clean yet white floor of the royal castle.
"N-NO! Please stop!" He shrieked in terror, begging for mercy from this wolf giant. The wolf gave no expression of mercy, sadness, or anything... just pure blankness. Spike rushing beside the adopted human, he huffed his chest, brave expression, but inside he was very frightened.
"Stop there fiend! I shall not let you harm him because Spike is here to save the day!" Spike shouted with a deep voice, Drake astonished that Spike would face something due to his size. But, it was just him being Spike which wasn't good for Drake.
The wolf only leaned down, saying nothing until:
"Dragon, Do you have any idea who I AM? I am Serot! The 6th King of the Werewolves! You are a weak little dragon." Serot insulted as he picked Spike up with the palms on his furry hand, Spike struggling to get his arm free, but to no avail, he just harshly threw Spike to the side of the castle wall. He landed with a crack on the wall and slumped onto the floor like a ragdoll on a wall.
"Now.. As for you..." He turned his head back at Drake who was trembling like a leaf in the wind, shivers sent down his spine by just the voice.
"Please! Leave me be! I didn't do anything wrong!" Drake continued to tremble, breath pasted.
"Your cries are nothing but music to me." He said as he grabbed Drake by the left arm dragging him into the air. Pain surged into Drake's arm, as if the bone being pulled off.
"Now.. Let's take a little trip shall.-" Before he could say anymore words, Drake's eyes began to glow a light blue, breath now visible, hair began to swirl with a unknown energy not known to magic. Guards stood in shook, mouths agape to what was happening to the human. The arm surged with another energy, swirling into the furred hand
"GAHHH!!!" He roared as Drake fell onto the marble floor hard, hitting the floor hard on his head. A large swelled bruise formed on Drake head. Tears of pain streamed out whilst holding his head.
Serot staring at the child, a magic never seen began to swirl, ice cracked on the floor moving east and west to Drakes body. Ice began to trap Drake as if a cocoon, not letting him move an inch, trapping him to the floor. The ice making its way to the bottom of Drake's shoes to the top of Drake's now light blue hair. When the cocoon was complete, Drakes body diminished to the floor in a puddle of water... GONE.
"D-Drake?!" Spiked asked, his eyes widened from shock. The door to the meeting room swung open hearing the commotion outside. Luna and Celestia, along with the other 5 kingdoms was hushed, seeing the disaster and water on the floor of Drakes remains.
"Somepony explain to me what has happened here! Serot! Why have you not been in the meeting room at a such time?!" Celestia ordered. Fearing her child got kille dor even hurt, Luna galloped quickly almost tripping over her own hooves. Her head searching about for Drakes remains.
"Spike! Somepony! Tell Us where Our child is! Please!
Luna hurriedly asked him, putting her glass hoove on the water. The water howveer was snow cold, like as if you touched snow without any gloves on.
"I-I don't know! When Serot tried to nab him, Drake did some weird magic, Serot let go, turned into a cocoon and washed away!" Spike said with gazing eyes upon Luna..
"Serot?! WHAT HAS SEROT HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?" Celestia yelled, her magenta eyes peering onto Serot. Although his gaze was surrendered and emotionless..
"H-He tried to kidnap Drake. I've eavesdropped." Spike said confessing his actions.
"Serot dear, Let's have a PRIVATE chat in the meet room, yes?" Celestia asked as she motioned two guards near him, shoving him into the Meeting room while Celestia trailed behind. Serot now mumbling and groaning with a few cusses at Drake.
Another cocoon built up, the ice traveling east and west once more, splashing onto the ground leaving Drake behind. His puked up water in his throat, now realizing he is in the Royal Gardens. Flowers from pink to yellow, trees sized differently.
"M-Mommy? Where are you? Spike!" He began to call out but... No answer... Only dead pure silence.
He became frightened, he kinda knew his way around the royal gardens to Luna brought him around here and there. "MOMMY! MOMMY!" He called out again. Yet... no answer..
He sat down on a wooden bench. Shivering a bit with arms wrapped around his body to preserve heat. He glanced at a clear blue lake, shining clean and pure. Getting up to see his reflection, seeing if anything changed.
He was right when he began to think.
He peered into the Lake and gaped his mouth.. The magic turned his his hair into a pure ice blue. His breath was visible every exhale.
"W-What happened to me?! MOMMMMMYYYYHEEEEYYYY!" He screamed, a headache now forming from his callouts.
Looking around to see if anypony was around, maybe a guard or... just somepony! Low humming came to the east side of the Royal Gardens. With his attack before, he trudged with caution, scared to see who it was. Sticking his head to the side only a few inches, a purple alicorn he knew with a book grasped with magic. Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship.
"Auntie Twilight!" Drake shouted, Twilight looking up, smiling to see her adopted nephew. "Drake! What brings you to-" She was cut off by Drake hugging her neck gently crying on her shoulder. "I'm sccaaaarreddd! Waahaaa!'
"Drake? Sweetheart, what happened. Your hair! What happened to your hair.. N-Nevermind. Drake. Please tell me everything that happened= .I'll be here with you I promise." Drake sat close to twilight, still trembling..
"I-I just woke up not even 20 minutes ago.. And.. Serot of the werewolf kingdom was looking forward to kidnap me.. Spike eavesdropped him and warned me right away.. But he was injured trying to protect me.. M-My necklace somehow saved me.. I don't know how but.. It did..."
Drake said looking back at her as she forced a smile to cheer him up.
"Now, now, Drake.. I'll protect you until we find Luna or Celestia ok?" She asked, assuring him.. Although he just gave a slow, unsure nod..
"C'mon now.. Let's go find Them.. She said getting off the bench, levitating Drake onto her back.. As she started to trot forward.

All things bearing
Twilight and Drake kept trotting along the lush green flowers and vegetation life of the guarden.
"What will Mommy think of me when she sees me like this?" Twilight rubbed his left hand gently, assuring him. "Drake.. I promise.. We will find Luna and Celestia.. Until then, you stay close to me mister." Twilight said teasingly. Trying to bring his smile back, but it didn't. Twilight frowned and kept ok trotting to the side entrence to the B-Hall wing of the castle.
"Halt! By order of Princess Celestia, you may not enter the castle.." A yellow earth pony guard called from beyond.
"Hello Soldier.. By order of Twilight Sparkle.. I demand to enter the castle." Twilight ordered, looking a glance at the guard still showing no expression. "I am sorry but Nopony is allowed in the castle until time being." The guard stated, making Twilight have a irritated expression. "I don't have time for this.." Twilight said as her horn glowed pink, making the guard slump in the ground, with a clank of his hold armor. Drake worried for his safety, he raised his head.
"Auntie Twilight? He'll be ok right?"
"Of coarse sweetie. I just put him to sleep is all.. No worries." Twilight crooked open the door seeing the castle a disastrous mess. The Sun banners drooped tattered and torn. Some silk fell down on the floor, shredded. "What in Equestria happened here?!" Twilight asked herself, shocked. Drake was trembling to Twilight, scared.
"Drake.. It's ok.. I promise Luna will be ok.. Celestia as well. We just have to get to the bottom of this is all." Although.. Guards of dozens came around Twilight and Drake.
"Halt.. You are not allowed in this part of the castle.. For there has been a serious injury by the Princesses." This made Drake worried. The safety of either Luna or Celestia.
"Mommy! What happened to my mommy? The guard sighed as if picking and choosing words for the moment.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWMKxGXtYtQ
"Serot has injured the royal sisters and made an escape. He is currently on our wanted list. Please don't worry." Drake wanted to cry. Hearing his mommy hurt.. And badly injured worried him.
"Drake.. Please go to my room until I come up there. Do NOT let anypony else in ok?" She instructed as she levitated him off his back.
"Yes Auntie Twilight.." He obeyed. He turned his back and went up to Twilight's room.. It wasn't very far.. Just a wing away; D-wing.. Where Twilight's room is..
The guards saw Drake and raised a brow.
"Drake.. We want you to stay in the princesses Royal chambers. Unless she herself sent you up?" He asked, his wooden handle of the steel spear popping the ground.
"Y-Yes sir.. Auntie Twilight sent me up here.." He replied as the door creeked the door open by the Guard's head.
"Stay inside and don't come out until all is fine again.." He ordered and shut the door behind Drake..
"Oh man. What happened to mommy? I hope she's ok." He whinpered, laying himself down on the regular blue cover sheets, curlin himself up waiting for Twilight's return..
He leaned to his right, showing a shaking and dusty fern. A purple tail stuck out shaking.
"Spike?" Drake asked and the Tail furrowed straight. "Drake? Is that you?" Spike asked under the muffle.
"Uncle Spike! Are you ok?! You took a good wall smack!" Spike burrowed out of the small fern and poked his he's out of the brown fake grass. Glancing up at his hair.
"Drake! What happened to you man? Your breath!! And your hair!" Spike exclaimed pointing out. "I know. I know.. It's.. Weird.." He said bowing his head sadly.
"N-No no! What's not what I ment.. It's feel different knowing you have a different hair color.." Spike turned his body, sitting on bed beside Drake.
"I'm scared if mommy will hate me for what I am now.. I.. I don't know anymore!" Drake cried out putting his hands on his forehead, crying quietly.
"I AM a monster after all.." He said in cries. This broke Spike's heart. The human he knew all these years. So hateful of himself. "I-I know you think of me of a monster, somepony that should've never belonged." Drake told Spike, his head facing away from Spike's eyes.
"I don't think you're a monster Drake.. You're the closest to a brother I'll ever have." Spike said putting a smile on his face, wrapping his little arms on Drake's side. Drake hugged Spike, his large arms covering Spike's upper body. "I-I love you so much Uncle Spike..."
"It doesn't matter if you are one.. We all care about you Drake. Don't ever forget that.." Snugging his head on Drake's shoulder, Spike said, a low smile curled to Spike's lips. "And... I love ya too little buddy. I'll protect you in anyway possible I can. If your mother or Twilight aren't around to help ya, come look for me. I usually am not doing anything important."

In school chapter.. Yay! I was bored and I have nothing to do so.. Here ya go..
Music belongs to the owner.
TWAU Intro song.
Drake quickly hugged back Spike with no Avail. His tears streaming out of loads like a run away river;
"Spike.. I am a monster.. EVERYPONY HATES ME!! WWWWAAAAAAAA!! WAAAAA WAAAA!!" Drake was literally bawling.. Spike hugged him tighter. "Drake.. It's ok.. I'm here now alright?" Spike told him.. A seam of sadness in his eyes.. He never knew it would be this hard to live as a human. Especially a 7 year old child.. "Awa.. huh.. huh.. huh.. huh.. huh.. Spike.. I wish I never came.. I really don't.. Everyponies lives would be better..
Spike's eyes tried to clench tears off.. Showing how tough he was. But the fact Drake was so hateful of himself couldn't even hold this little dragon's spirit. "Drake.. I'm so worthless.. I let that monster get you and I am too little to do anything.." Spike said wiping his eyes. Drake sniffled.. "Spike.. We both may have problems in our lives.. But.. Things will always get better.." Drake said, his spirit rising again.. Twilight Entered the room, the door shutting behind her..
"Drake? Are you ok?" Twilight asked worried, quickly trotting over to her bed where he was sitting.. "T-Twilight.. D-Do you think I'm a monster?" Drake asked gently setting Spike down, although he was looking away at the moment..
"D-Drake.. Why would you ask that? Of coarse I don't think you're a monster.. I think you are the kindest, sweetest human I've ever known and nothing will change that." She said rubbing her hoove along the ridges of his spine. "Y-You mean it Auntie Twilight?" He asked, much unsure. "I mean it on my life." She replied nuzzling his pure ice blue hair, earning her a small giggle from Drake.
"Drake.. Don't worry about Luna ok? She's more strong then that Wolf King. She'll do anything to protect you." She said laying a wing over him. Twilight now stroked his hair, his head lying on her belly, eyes drooping. "Get some sleep, Drake. We both need it after such a long time."
"B-But, I'm not even sleepy, Auntie Twilight." Drake said, but Twilight only smiled. "Do yo know a lullaby? When sometimes you sing to yourself, it helps too! It helped me when I was just a filly and couldn't sleep." Twilight may have been a bookworm, but she cared Drake more then her studies.
This gave Drake hope, making him feel better about himself. The song Luna sang to him only just yesterday, he began to sing it softly, eyes drooping of exhaustion. "I love you auntie Twilight.." He muttered, laying on her Belly. "I love you too Drake.. Never forget that." She said giving a small, tender kiss on his forehead. The song Luna sang to him only just yesterday, he began to sing it softly, eyes drooping of exhaustion.

Twilight's eyes gazed at Drake as he sang. "When did you learn that, Drake?' Drake looked up at Twilight, ready to answer.
"Guess your playing the mommy role now Twilight." Spike joked, him climbing next to Twilight laying down. Twilight's brows shifted into worry. She ment business this time, whilst Drake was asleep, she bgean to whisper.
"Spike.. This isn't a role.. I HAVE to watch over Drake until we know Luna or Celestia is ok.. I love Drake.. I love him with my life.. But to lose a precious like him? I don't know.." She said looking at Drake, stroking his hair. "Spike? Do you remember when Drake once tried to cook with you?" She asked with a low smirk. "Twilight.. That was when he was 5.. besides.. I wasn't PURPOSELY trying to hurt Drake.." Spike grumbled with arms crossed.
Twilight chuckled.. "And you had to clean it up." Spike rolled his eyes. "Unfortunately."
She dreamed about.. Her being in Ponyville.. She was still with her wings and Horn at least.. She exhaled and trotted to the Boutique.. where Fashion designer and maker Rarity lived.. Though.. When she opened the door.. It was empty.. All fabric, silk, a decorations was sitting around.. Looked like 3 years since it was abandoned.. Everything was sitting collecting dust.
"W-What happened to the Boutique??" She asked herself, utterly shocked and afraid.
"H-Hellloo? Rarity?? Sweetie Beellee?" She called out, but only her echo replied.
"They shall never come back.." a Low, tense voice behind her called out.
She jumped not expecting it and flashed her glowing horn at him.. But only the light emitted showing a stallion, His eye was a red sensor.. A Black ragged beard snuffed out of him.. His musty and dirtied up Dark blue coat only shined with the light.. His mane.. hasn't''t been cut in maybe a year?
"Do not be afraid.. I shall not harm you.. But.. I have come to warn you.. There will be a greater threat to you, the princesses and even more.. The child.." He only said, a lowly whirring coming from his left eye with the sensor. "W-Who is coming? Who even are you? What is going on?" "I only speak the shadows.. But.. You will too find out what shall near you.."
His body began to vanish, the dream as if poofed. Twilight JERKED up, panting.. Only to wake Drake up. "Auntie Twilight! Are you ok?" His voice was scared and full of worry.. "Hush now Drake.. I am ok.. It was just.. some strange dream." She said patting his back. "Go back to sleep sweetie.." She soothed as he obliged.. Resting his head on her tummy and slept.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.. I'VE GOTTEN INTO A SPOT OF ONE OF THE POPULAR STORIES!! EEEIEIEIEEE! THANK THE MOON I LOVE YOU ALL!!! one more chapter after this. OOOOOOOO TENSENESS!!
I found a higher pitched version, sounds CLOSE TO Drake. Anyways, here is your feels.
The next morning, Twilight was reading down a scroll sent by a noble. It was from Phillydelpa
She read out while using her Tarn and quill to write it out. As she was finished, she put a Canterlot gold ring in the middle and sent it with her magic.
"Mmmmm.. It's good.." He said As he ate his oatmeal with a touch of cinnamon in it. He closed his eyes in harmony, moaning with taste.
Prince BlueBlood trots by Drake, with his mane all messed up. He looked like he just came out of bed.
"Hee hee! You look like you just slugged out of bed!"
BlueBlood glared at him. "Quiet you." BlueBlood said sternly.
Drake said reminding him. BlueBlood sighs irritated and trots up to him.
"Listen freak.. I have lived here more longer then you have.. I KNOW where everything is. Now.. Don't bother me."
Drake knitted his brows. "My name isn't FREAK.. My name is Drake." Drake said growling.
Twilight took notice of this got up an spear red the two with their magic.
"Ok... BlueBlood. First, be more nicer to Drake.. He already is having a hard time around Equestria. He is also going to be living here for a Long time so get over it. Drake.. I know BlueBlood isn't nice to you, just don't go or talk to him. We clear?" She asked after finishing her lecture.
Drake nodded. "Yes Auntie Twilight."
BlueBlood groaned. "Fine. I don't really care." BlueBlood said as he stormed off. Though; Drake has gotten used to him... Somewhat.
Twilight ruffles Drake's hair. "Don't mind him sweetie. You were just trying to help out. But, I still get on to him to stop calling you 'freak'.
"I really wish he would too. It hurts my feelings." It really did, it was enough rumors were going around but.. BlueBlood his own uncle callin him a freak? Now it hurt him more.
"Drake. Don't worry about it, you're going to start school in a week. Aren't you excited?" She asked with a gleeful smile.
"I am actually. I can't wait to make some friends. Actual friends."
Twilight nuzzles Drake's face. "That's good. I'll help you at anytime with your homework."
"Yay! Thank you Auntie Twilight!"
Twilight's heart melted. He is such a wonderful, kind human.
"Oh and Twilight? C-Could I ask you something?"
Twilight raised a brow looking into Drake's eyes.
"What is it sweetie? I'll try to asnwer as best as I can."
Drake knew that Twilight was good with magic, especially her magic training when she lived at Ponyville, in the Sweet Golden Oaks library.
"Of coarse Drake, many be your Ice necklace could use a touch up on training."
His eyes lit up. "Thank you Auntie Twilight! You are so nice to me!" He exclaimed hugging her.
"Oh it was no trouble Drake.. No worries at all!!"
Drake finished with his breakfast, a maid came and cleaned it up for him.
"Thank you misses." He said smiling at the maid.
"No worries your highness.."
Drake sighed with a smug.
"Just call me Drake, it's kinda weird when ponies call me that."
"Thank you.. Drake." She bowed her head and trotted off with the plate.
"Drake.. Are you ok?" A voice rang out as he turned his head, seeing Celestia with a few bruises marked on her fur and head. Her right wing held a bandage, it was a pure white wing cast.
Twilight's face pulled a wide smile. Seeing her mentor not too badly injured.. Except for the wing.
"Auntie Tia!!" Drake exclaimed rushing his way over to Celestia. Hugging her foreleg crying on it..
"I thought you were gone!!"
Celestia's lips pulled back into a smile.
"Oh sweetie.. I would never abandon you like that.. And I see the necklace worked.
"It's a amulet!" Drake corrected her because he thought necklace was more of a mare
"Oh alright sweetie. Your Amulet.." She said rolling her eyes, as she nuzzles him.
Drake wouldn't let go of her leg, he wa so happy she was ok.
"I can take him off your hooves Twilight.. Thank you for taking care of Drake."
Twilight shook her head. "He was no trouble at all! I'm glad you're ok.. Exceptionally."
Celestia levitated Drake onto her back, but he just clung to Celestia's back neck. She chuckled as she looked down on Twilight.
"You have my upmost thanks for caring for Drake."
"Where's Mommy??" He asked Celestia.
"She's still trying to heal at the medic wing. Don't worry she'll be ok I promise."
"Ok Auntie Tia.." He gently snuggled his head into her fur, warm as ever.
"Sweetheart.. You need a bath.. You haven't bathed in a couple days." She said as she turned her body..
"Like I said Twilight.. Thank you.."
They begin to trot off, Celestia clearing her throat.
"Sweetheart.. Want to try the high royal areas? It's mostly ment for my Sister and me.. But you are high royal now sweetheart. I should get your own build right away." She said.
"Oooo! Yay! I'd love too Auntie Tia."
"I need to Shower in case that if there is any kind of stuff sticking onto me." Celestia said as she ment blood..
2 minutes later, they arrive at the high royal shower area. Where there was no door, but two guards by the stone opening.
"Welcome your highness." Both of the guards said in monotone.
"Good evening private and Sergeant.."
"I want a bath stone Mage for Drake as well.. Once we finish understood?"
They salute. "Yes your highness" as they wave at Drake.
"Welcome to the high royal bath area.."
Author's Note
God forbid knows how many words I made. This one took all day for me :/
Also bathe time with Celestia And Drake!! Dw'aaaaaaa!
Celestia used her magic to fill the tub with warm water, first giving Drake's. Some steam emitted off of the tub.
"Wow. The bath looks so pretty.." Drake said amazed.
"That's why it's usually only for me and your mommy. But.. Since you are Luna's boy. This is your bathroom now."
"Yay! Thanks auntie Tia!" He said with a cheer..
Celestia rubbed his back as she started her own water.
"U-UM... Auntie Tia. If it's ok. Could you.. Look away for a second?"
Celestia smiled. "Ok sweetie.. Just tell me when you're ready."
Celestia turned her back to him as she thought to herself. 'M-Maybe I should tell him. About my dear sister's past. I kniw it'll be hard.. BUT.. He'll understand,
She heard a splish after him.
"Ok I'm ready!" He said as she turned her head, seeing him in Luna's bath stone for now.
"Ok sweetie.. Time for me." She hopping in the stone tub of her own, seeing the steam vent out.
"A-Auntie Tia?"
Celestia looked at him. "Yes Drake?"
"Y-You look sad. Are you ok??"
Yes. She was not ok. But.. she didn't want to worry him.
"Yes sweetie.. I'm fine."
She took a long deep inhale, then a long deep exhale.
"Drake? Have you ever heard of the tale, 'The Mare On the Moon?'"
Drake shook his head.
"Well. It started a thousand years ago.. When it all seemed so simple.. Your mommy raised the moon.. I raised the sun, we had our own responsibilities. Luna, however felt she was the most hated of the family.. I loved her more then my life.. But. She got power hungry, feeling like she'll do anything for love, and attention....." Celestia's past became more clearer, a tear falling.
"Auntie Tia! Y-You don't have to go on.."
Celestia slowly wiped her tear on her hoove,
"Anyway.. She was so full of hatred and jealously inside that.. SHE turned into Nightmare moon. She almost.. Put me to sleep forever, and.. I had no choice.. but.."
Celestia was in literal tears right now, it was flowing from her beautiful white mane.
Drake's heart broke in seconds..
"Hic.. Auntie Tia."
He got out of Luna's bath stone Mage and gotten into Celestia's to comfort her.
She reacted quickly and gave him a big hug..
"Waaaaaa! I'm so sorry Luna! I'm so-so sorryyyyyyyy waaaaaaaaaa!!" Celestia cried out as ponies gathered outside the bathroom, with sadness and closed eyes.
"Auntie Tia! I'm sorry.." Drake said hugging onto Celestia.
"Sniff.. Sniff.. No.. It's not your fault Drake baby.. It's something you need to know."
She put him under his belly, as Celestia's bright colorful mane floated in the water near Drake.
"Anyway.. I had to banish her to the moon for 1000 years.. to keep my Citizens safe."
Drake NEVER thought that this would happen.. not ever.
"And.. It was my fault I never gave her the attention.. I never gave her the love she needed.. She couldn't control it.."
"Auntie Tia.. all in the past is none.. It's over now.. you have Mommy and me to look forward to." Drake was right.. Luna was back and safe and Celestia had Drake.. She had family..
"Thank you Drake.." She said rubbing his shoulder..
She grabbed a bottle of Lilly Shampoo and started to rub Drake's hair with a few dabs on her right hoof.
"Drake. Are you excited for School next week?"
"I am! I'm so excited to meet new ponies and friends. I may get bullied for a bit but, I know I'm loved by you guys.." He said zuzzling his head one Celestia's leg.
"Well that's good sweetie.. You are always loved. Never forget that!" She said smiling again.
She then rubbed her hooves on his body, melting away any muck and dirt.
"Auntie Tia? What did you first react to when Luna first brought me here?"
Auntie Tia didn't want to hurt his feelings but, she had to be honest.
"Well; I was skeptic at first, fearing Luna could not do such. But this time.. I was wrong.. She raised you to be a kind, sweet loving young stallion."
Drake was glad to hear that at least he was hated at first.
"Now my turn.." Celestia said as she put down the bottle and started to scrub herself with a special kind of wash..
"Mmmm! That feels good." She said dipping her mane in the water
Drake smiled back at her and shivered a bit.
“Ok Drake, you ready to dry off?”
Celestia asked him rubbing his hair.
Drake nodded slowly, agreeing with her.
“Yes Auntie Tia, I’m ready.”
She then levitated Drake out of the bath, using her magic to wrap a small blue towel.
“Mmmm! That feels warm!”
Drake said with a smile.
Celestia brightened up as he said that.
“They are always warmed up before usage, so yes they are warm.”
Drake noticed a new patch of clothes on the sink counter. It was a dark grey pair of jeans that would go down to his ankles, a black
“Is this for me Auntie Tia?”
He asked looking over the clothing.
“Yes sweetheart, they are yours.”
Drake jumped for glee as he went into the room next to him, designed to put on clothes.
“Auntie Tia, they are perfect.”
Drake said, slipping on the warm, and soft clothing.
“I bet it is dear, I bet it is.”
She replied, drying her own mane out as she waited for Drake.

I AM CRYING! I am watching Dr.Who and the 11th regenerated. Ok.. This is it for the night.. I.. I need to play some Video games.. DX
(SPOLIERS!!!!!!!! DX)
Sorry for short chapter.. I'm tired and bored.
Secrets kept untold.
Drake walked silently to the lower area of the castle, keeping on switching head side to side.
"Ok.. No ponies around.. Let's make this quick." He said as he put his hand on the wall. Giving one knock, another 2 knocks, 1 knock, 4 knocks and 3 knocks as if some sort of code. The wall flew a orange color, it sliding to the right showing a purple mare with deep green eyes, her cutie mark a mic and some notes.
"Welcome back Drake. Kinda missed you having me to help you build." She said stepping aside.
"I know Lavender sky.. I've tried my hardest to continue but it's been hard."
Lavender just smiled.
"Sweetie. It's fine. Let's finish it up so we can let you fly it. Although you know Luna won't be happy from you building machinery behind her back." She said.
Drake walked up to a small backpack with metal wings attached to the side.
"I know Lavender. I just want to feel like an Alicorn like mommy.." Drake said picking up a knob and twisting it to tighten a left wing.
"Lavender... I just want to show I'm not just some human. I can show I could act like a Alicorn." Drake smile was put back on as he stepped back seeing his 3 year work.
Lavender nodded. "Like I said. Be VERY careful."
"It's finished. I'm ready to test it." Drake said as Lavender slipped the back pack on him with the wings folded.
"Be careful Drake. Please." Lavender soothed in a calming yet worried tone.
"I will.. Thank you." He left the area of the castle, leaving Lavender to trot to her room to eat.
Meanwhile; Drake opened a balcony door, letting the morning wind blast him.
"Good air.. Let's keep it that way." He said as he pulled a long string making his wings spread.. The wings looked like 22 by 22 inches, with the tips almost touching the edge.
He stepped into the edge of the balcony, taking a deep breath.
"Ok.. Here goes." Drake let his body weight throw him off the edge, wind harshly blasting his face. Ponies looked above him in fear. Drake then spreads his arms like a bird would. His body soared through the air. It actually worked. He was a technical Alicorn.
"Wwoooooooooooo!!!!!" Drake let a victorious yell. He flies past the castle balcony as guards watching him in horror and confusion. Though, Celestia was let confused.
"Is that... Drake?" She asked herself getting off the Throne.
She then makes her way to the balcony, watching Drake soar freely.. She would scold and yell at him. But, she smiled.. Seeing what it would be like to fly on his own. "I don't know how that child did it.. But he did." Celestia air as she was about to join him. Spreaded her wings and galloped off the balcony flying towards Drake with each large flap
But although he thought he was in trouble. Celestia flew toward him with a smile on her face.
"Hello little Drake. Very nice wings you have." She said feeling them gently, cold, hard, and shiny.
"Y-You like it?" He asked unsure.
"Of coarse sweetie. You look like an alicorn now, you have the magic. Now the wings. You are a very good Alicorn."
Drake couldn't help but smile at this.
"T-Thank you Auntie Tia.."
Celestia then flew ahead of Drake, her silhouette casting in the sun. It was amazing to Drake how something so bright could be so pretty.
Drake shook his head and flew his wings after her.
"Wait! I want to fly next to you!" Drake called out as Celestia slowed down for you.
"Oh alright, sweetie." She said as Drake's wings were beaming the suns reflections.
"Auntie Tia.. Why is the sun so bright?" He asked looking into her purple eyes.
"Well sweetie, my sun is made up of gases and magic that lets the gases warm, letting crops grow and melt any snow or cold air."
"Oooo.. That's so cool. Will I ever have to take up the moon when mommy is done with it?"
"I'm not sure, You'll have to ask mommy that."
"Ok... I love you Auntie Tia.."
"I love you too Drake."
Drake closed his eyes and smiled... but soon faded into a scream, a grey magic blast hit Drake smack in the back of his spine, a nerve point as well. Making Drake faint and fall out of the sky.
"DRAKE!!!!" Celestia screamed swooping down catching Drake before he was killed on the fall, scooping him into her forlegs, his head tucked onto Celetia's mantle.
His breathing was then shallow, hoarse, tears flowed out of his face.
"M-Mommy..."
Celestia then quickly flapped back to the castle, where her room and balcony was.
"Shhhhh... it's ok, It's ok honey.. Auntie Tia is here.." She whispered in his ear, trying to calm him.
She turned his neck to see what hit him, and there is was... a dark grey magic black on his third spine ridge of his little neck. She was absolutely furious. She wanted to know who did this to him. But for now, she just rubbed his neck gently, trying to calm and comfort him.
"A-Auntie Tia.... It hurts... S-So.. Huh.. much.." He shuddered and whimpered, the pain over bearing his body and mind.
"I know Drakie sweetie, I know it hurts, Just hold on." Medics then came into the room, trying to check his vitals, his body warmth, Trying to help him in anyway,
"Your highness... I've suspected the magic to be... Evil and dark, thoughts of pain and misery are clouding his brain, his body only thinks of pain to him."
"What unicorn could do that!?" Celestia asked worried for Drake's safety.
"We are not sure. But.... It's best to look into it.."
"Thank you Nurse Wingdeed. Thank you.' She said as the medics left the area, Drake's body still cringing.
"M-Mommy.... it hurts.." He cried softly as Celestia then snuggled near him.
"Shhhhh, I know it hurts. I do.. Just hold on sweetie.."

I'M SORRY.. I WATCHED WINTER SOLDIER YESTERDAY.. GAVE ME SOME RANDOM IDEA :L
As hours pass by, Celestia lays on her bed with Drake laying on her tummy, his whimpers slow and quiet.
"It's ok, Drake, It's ok..."
Celestia said soothingly, hoping to calm him down at the most.
"A-Auntie Tia? Where's mommy?"
Drake asked turning his head to face her. Celestia stroked his hair, making him shudder with ease.
"A guard told me she was on her way in about 20 minutes. Just sleep for now little one, I'll tell her what happened."
Celestia said as he tucked his head in her rich white fur and moaned quietly. Her colorful flowing mane brushing against his left leg. Celestia chuckled lightly under her breath; a slow knock came to her door.
"The door is open, please come in."
She called out, the door opening to a guard with Luna by his side.
"Your highness, Princess Luna came in early."
Celestia nodded at what he said and Motioned for Luna to come in.
"Luna, please come in. I am sure you heard what happened."
Luna trotted in with her head hanging low.
"Unfortunately, we have. Whom shot our child? We need to know."
Luna said, her brow furrowing with anger.
"Luna... I know you are upset but-"
"Upset?! We art infuriated! Nopony hurts our child and gets off with it!"
Celestia laid Drake on her soft and comfy pillow; him shifting his body to the left.
"Luna. We will find out in time but, there is nothing else we can do but for some hope to come by."
Luna raised a brow unamused.
"So that is it then, we just wait and twiddle our hooves? No, we shall not stand for this."
Celestia trotted over and put a hoove on Luna.
"That's not what I ment sister. I mean we just take it little by little, until we find this culprit."
Luna shuddered a breath as she trotted over by her son.
"We just want our baby boy to be OK. That tis all we ask for."
She began to stroke his hair, a sad frown formed upon her face.
"Tia? Whom do thou think did this?"
Celestia could only shake her head.
"I am not so sure sister, there are so many creatures and ponies out there who would've done it. I am sorry Luna but, I am not sure at all."
Luna gazed back at Drake and sighed.
"Well... We guess we just have to wait, with every action, there is always a spark of hope."
Luna sat down on her haunches and nuzzled Drake gently.
"When we find out who did this to our son, there shall be pure pain and misery."
Luna's eyes glowed dimly, like Nightmare Moon had at the Celebration 10 years ago.
"Sister, please. Calm yourself before things get out of hoove."
Celestia warned as she too sat with Luna and Drake.
"Celestia... It has been so many years of pain and loneliness for us. But now we have Drake, that hole in our heart is gone. We feel complete again."
Celestia's smile formed again, gently nuzzling her sister.
"I am most glad for that Luna. Remember, I love you and so does Drake."
Luna looked back on Celestia.
"We know. We love Drake and he loves us. We feel that is all that matters."
Celestia looked up at the falling sun.
"I will agree with you on that Luna. It's always best to think about that."
"Sister? May we speak to thee about something that happened two nights ago?"
Celestia then grew curious of what she had to say.
"Of coarse Luna. You can talk to me about anything."
Luna took a deep breath, ready to speak.
"We were finishing on a last scroll for us to finish, but... Little Drake was crying in his sleep. We had to make sure if everything was ok and went into his dream. But, we were transported to a foreign room, with objects and furniture we have never seen before. We heard a glass smashing in the room next to us which was the kitchen we believe. We trotted in the room to find..."
Luna didn't known if she wanted to continue, her eyes were stinging of tears at the moment. Celestia took notice of this and put her wing over her back to comfit her.
"There, there sister. It is quite alright."
Luna wiped her tears with her hooves and slowly nodded.
"We found a human mare and human stallion. Although, the mare was watching the stallion... Beating on little Drake. His cries and pleads seemed to do nothing, he beat more on Drake until, we couldn't stand it. We made the two go away, leaving our son on the ground; crying and shivering."
Celestia was worried and hurt at what she had told her. She couldn't believe that the humans would do this to him.
"Sister, did you know who these humans were?"
Luna nodded.
"We presume that they were his 'parents', he called the stallion Papa."
Celestia exhaled of pure tension release and forced a smile.
"Well, you did the right thing of bringing in the human child and caring for him, he is now loved and cared for him."
Luna smiled as well, agreeing with her,
"We believe so too sister, we believe thou."
Author's Note
I am so sorry that I have not updated in such awhile, I have only free time to make one chapter for now, I'm really sorry. I'll have all the time I need tomorrow to do so. Please forgive me, my schedule is quite busy.
Luna headed downstairs to meet this Unicorn mare who claimed to know the attacker of her child. She had to stay as calm as possible for she wouldn't want to scare her witness. Two Lunar guards tailed behind her as usual with large, iron spears in their mouths. Luna loved Drake like no other mare or stallion would, he maybe a human child but nopony, and she means NOPONY hurts her child.
Luna exhaled, letting her stress out noticing a crowd of guards and her Sister Celestia there.
"Ah! Welcome Luna. Please, I know you are angry and eager to hear this but be calm."
Celestia said reminding her. Luna was angry but she had to stay calm at all times so her witness wouldn't shut her out.
"Ok, we art ready. Show us to her."
Celestia turned back to the crowd with Luna behind her, the guards trotting out of the way to let the Princesses enter. A Orange Unicorn Mare, sitting on her haunches with fear on her face. Her Ponytail Black mane settled to the right side of her head. Body trembling and shaking. Her Cutie Mark of a Orange leaf with black paint on it falling off. Jade eyes that showed fear. Pure absolute fear like her life was ending.
Luna felt bad for her, Luna knew she was Nightmare Moon in the past and had usually use a Canterlot voice. But she had to make sure she would tell her.
"Tis ok dear. Do not be afraid, We shall not harm or yell, we just need to know who attacked my son."
She gulped, slowly sliding down her throat and finally opened her mouth.
"I've looked into the figure who shot your son, your highness. He is a old clan legend called the Linsui. They were supposed to be gone many years ago but, I guess they survived. Anyhow, his name is Denko. A third leader party of the clan who was said to pass 400 years ago."
Luna was at the utmost interest of this history and knowledge. Now was time to ask the appearance, that way it would be easier to catch this attacker in the act.
"If tis not to much to ask, what did he look like? Detail would be appreciated.
She stared at the ground, not words formed. Something was bothering her.
"H-He had a Brown Torn up jacket, his mane is a blackish grey. His beard about to his chin, Red musty coat with... with... a eye sensor on his left eye. Where a real one should've been. He is as well a unicorn."
This made Luna worry now, for she had the history and appearance of this 'Denko'. She would have to double the shifts of the guards day and night. For she would have this wrongdoer at his knees.
"Thank thee citizen. Might we ask of thy's name?"
"Maylight. My name is Maylight."
Luna gave a smile for she was so happy that she had information and the history, now she would soon have her revenge and scolding with a dish of pain with it.
"Thank thee so much for this information, we can not tell thee how happy we art."
Maylight lightly chuckle happy she could help her.
"It was no trouble your highness, I just wanted to help out."
She got up looking up at Luna, a calm expression on Maylight's face.
"Sister, we shall go tell Drake. Please keep her company if tis ok."
Celestia nodded gently. Luna would have to tell Drake anyway if he ran into him again and he would know.
"I shall, do what you have to do sister."
Luna took her leave and trotted back to her room. Drake was looking out a window, staring at the shining moon.
"Drake. We have the information, and we need to tell thou."
Drake turned his head, eager to learn what shot him.
"Ok Mommy, I'm ready anyway."
Luna sat down on the bed with Drake and focused her head at him.
"The Stallion who attacked thou, was named Denko of the third leader of the Linsui. Apparently they were gone 400 years ago, but one of them made their return. He had a Brown Torn up jacket, his mane is a black and grey combined. His beard about to his chin, Red musty coat with a eye sensor on his left eye. Where a real one should've been. He is a unicorn from what the witness told us."
The part about the eye sensor sent a shiver down Drake's back making him somewhat uncomfortable.
"We shall double the shifts of the guards day and night so we can catch him. I shall have him at his knees for shooting thee."
Drake could understand where she was coming from. She was a mother after all and had to protect her child at all costs.
"Mommy? Can I help? I could make it easier."
Luna shook her head.
"No. We want thou to stay safe until we catch him. Until then thou shall stay under our sight as well."
Drake gaped his mouth of anger, he had to be baby sat by his mom by this. He wanted to show he was tough and brave.
"Mommy, I want to help! Please! I don't want him to get away with this either."
Luna sighs with content, not in the mood to argue.
"Drake. We understand but Thou got shot in the neck by a legend! We want thee to be safe!"
Drake growled under his breath.
"I want to help you! What is so hard about it?"
Luna glared at her son, brows knitted in anger that he was arguing to her about this.
"Thou were almost killed! I won't lose you because I love the hay out of you!"
Drake said something that shocked her, she never thought these words would form from him.
"I AM NO FOAL ANYMORE! I AM NOT WEAK! WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?!"
Author's Note
Sorry again this took so long to update. Should have another chapter up later or tomorrow.
Author's Note
Yay! Good point to stop for now. The next chapter shall be out tomorrow. I was being a lazy butt playing TF2 today. :/. So sorry for short chapter, I lost material to think of.
Our tears are whole
Luna just stares at him, no words formed from her lips. It was true, he was a very young child but no foal.
"We are sorry Drake. Thy is right. Thou art a child but not a foal anymore. Please forgive us Drake."
Drake felt horrible now. He yelled at his mom and made her sad.
"I'm sorry Mommy. I hate being told weak. I'm young, I know but. I'm not weak, I'm not an 'it'. I'm hated around Equestria as it is mommy. I don't want to be hated."
Luna knew well ponies still haven't adapted to him. It has always been like this since he was just 2. Ponies never liked the idea of Luna adopting Drake in the first place.
"Sweetheart. We just want thee safe so thou can live happy. We love thou so much, that thine life doesn't even know."
Drake started to form tears, his memory of being hit with magic, being told he was weak by BlueBlood passing Celestia's room earlier. Luna saw this and bright Drake to her chest.
"Mommy?"
Drake asked as she stroked his hair with her hoove.
"Shhhh... Tis ok."
Drake's lips quivered as he hugged Luna tight, Luna putting her hoove on the back of his head to calm him. Drake's tear flowed out.
"Waaaaaaaaaa!!! I-I don't want to be hated! I don't want to be alone! I don't wanna go to heaven!"
Luna's fur streaked from his tears, making her frown deep. Drake was loved, fed, adored by the castle, She, Twilight, Spike, And Celestia Loved him more then life. Why would he feel so hated and alone? Luna then shot the answer. The civilians; of coarse. They never approved of Luna's choice for Adopting Drake and caring for him. She furrowed her brows, but laxed quickly.
"Hush baby doll. Hush... Tis ok. We art here now. Let it out, Shhhhh.."
She gently hushed him, rubbing his back carefully to not touch the magic blast bruise. Luna love Drake, even if he was human. He was cared and loved by her
"Drake? Do thou remember the first time we've took thee flying?"
Drake nodded under her hoove. It felt wonderful, although his wings were broke from the blast reflect.
"It felt like heaven under me. Like no other experience. I never thought I would be able to do it."
Luna couldn't help but smile. This was when Drake was 5.and somehow, he still remembered.
"Well. We are glad that thou loved it at the time. It felt like heaven under us as well."
"But mommy, haven't you been flyin for a long time? Haven't you been used to it?"
He asked her with a sniffle.
"Yes sweetie, we may have been soaring the sky for a long time, but it was the first time we flew with YOU."
"Ooooohhhhh I see!"
Luna giggled. It was cute seeing Drake reaction on his young face. Luna didn't care if he was Changeling, Griffon, human, or Dragon. She would always love him.
"See? There thee go. Now thou understands."
Drake looked at Luna with curiousness in his deep brown eyes.
"Mommy, you love me right?"
"More then our own life."
Her horn glowed around Drake, her smiling with glee. It started to tingle Drake like a weird way. She was tickling him with we magic.
"M-Mommy what.. Pant.. Pant.. What are you- Ahahhahahhhaaa- N-No! Stop mo-Ahaahhhaa!"
Drakes smile and laughter brought a smile upon Luna's own face. Ever since the 48 hours, he actually smiled.
"Who's our little Colt?"
"I-I-ahahaa! I am!"
Drake said with tears in his eyes with laughter. His lungs hurting.
"We couldn't hear thou!"
"I AM!"
Drake shouted to get across Luna. The magic aura stopped leaving Drake with giggles and tears.
"You really know how to cheer me up dontcha' mommy?"
"We know you better then thyself."
Drake tucked his head on her fur, like a pillow on a cold night. Luna kissed her son's forehead and laid her head down.
"Goodnight Drake. We love thou."
"I love you too mommy."
The two slept in harmony, Drake's breathing tone and light again after the little tickle Luna gave him. Leaving him to only smile against his mother's warm and soft fur. Though, Luna was happy to find out the true culprit of Drake's shoot out. She would have him by his knees and give him what any mother would do in anger. It would feel so good to just let her old self giving Denko what for. Though, the pain and memories would come back. She honestly didn't really care for nowz
Four days pass with no signs of Denko's appearance after he shot down Drake. It was becoming clear that Luna was becoming more worried about the situation.
'It has been four days. No signs of Denko or anypony seeing anything strange. We art becoming scared for Drake. He has to start school today for we art worried he will be bullied so much.'
Luna stomped her left hoove down.
"No. We shouldn't be worried, he is loved and cared for enough to know he has us. Ok, tis time to wake our child."
The grandfather clock struck 6:00 A.M. The usual time to get up for the Canterlot Elementary school. Guards trotted around aimlessly around the castle. Luna's mind only locked on the thought of Drake being bullied and hated more then he has to. Luna wanted to just, not let him leave at all for school but it was her sisters' law overall so he had no choice. Luna crept in through the door, peering at her sleeping child, a low yet light smile formed from her muzzle trotting over to him.
"Wake up little Drake, tis time for thys first day of school."
She said nuzzling him gently. Though Drake just grunted.
"Mmmmmm, already?"
He asked moaning on the pillow. Luna rolled her eyes and nuzzled him again making him groan.
"Ok, ok mommy. I'm getting up."
He arose front he bed sheets, his hair shuffled on and about.
"Mommy? What if they hate me? What if they don't want to be my friends?"
His voice was concerned, but Luna could understand.
"Don't worry Drake. Just be grateful for who does accept thee."
Drake gave a little nod and stood up before Luna. His height still to Luna's forelegs.
"Mommy? Is it ok if I could walk myself to school?"
Luna looked back at him, over by the door.
"Of coarse sweetie. Just be careful and mind thyself."
"Yes mommy."
Drake went inside the bathroom to brush his teeth and hair. Luna was still scared for her child, she just wanted everything to be ok for the most part. She quietly thought for the next 5 minutes, her worry going over her.
"Ok Mommy! I'm ready!"
She switched her eyes to the bathroom where a Combed and Dashing Drake stood.
"Oh my! You look ravishing for thy first day!"
"Mommmmm!"
"Sorry, sorry. Thou still looks amazing."
That remark made Drake blush a little. He thought so as well.
"Thank you mommy."
"No problem. Now... Let's get thee to school."
They both trotted downstairs. Drake with his Arm Satchel ready. The locks a Snowflake on it. The color a nice clean brown, still new and clean to say the most.
Celestia yawned more then she should've. Seeing Drake and Luna at the front gate.
"Off to school little Drake? Have fun on your first day."
Drake gave a wave back, Celestia doing so as well. Putting her hoove back down and getting morning muffins for herself and the guards to snack on.
Drake and Luna left the castle. Seeing so many fillies and Colts galloping and trotting to school with good friends. Some Unicorns, some Pegasus.
"Mommy, I'm scared. I'm not really sure."
Luna pressed her cool lips on the side of Drake's head.
"Sweetie. Just remember that we love thou and so does Auntie Tia."
Drake knew that they loved him. So does Cadence, Twilight, Spike. And everypony else. This motivation got Drake going.
"You're right mommy! I love you!"
He hugged her tight, tucking his head on her Moon mantle.
"And we love thou as well."
He let go, looking back at the busy street.
'Here we go.'
He thought to himself starting to walk to where the school was. Though many ponies were staring at him making him uncomfortable. He knew he was different but was it really necessary to stare at him? Never mind. Let's just focus on getting to school.
It seemed so far, like about 2 miles, it was getting tiring but he had lived at the castle for 7 years. So it was just him. Though it actually didn't, it was about 8 minutes from the castle depending on how he traveled. On the outside, it seemed normal. A red painting on the wooden walls. A bronze bell on the top, Glass windows. Though it was at least big. He peered inside seeing many different ponies and other creatures. Making feel at least ease for the other creatures that were partaking in the school. He didn't have to feel like a freak.
He takes a deep inhale then a deep exhale.
"Ok. Let's do this."
He pushed the door open letting the Celestial sun beam through the door, Drake casting his shadow on the floor. The other schoolkids looked at him, eyes glaring and locking their gaze upon him.
'Not again, please let them hope it's ok.'
He took a small gulp and walking slowly inside. A group of kids smiled friendly at him.
A open seat by a Filly and a Colt. It made him worry that they wouldn't accept it but what choice did he have? He sat down, falling on her rump. No chairs. Ponies always sit on their haunches for this and they were used to it. Unfortunately for Drake, he was not. He kept fidgeting to find a comfy position.
"Ugggghh!"
He groaned as a Griffon tapped his shoulder with it's left lion paw.
"Here. Sit like this."
The griffon sat down with his two Lions legs sat aside together. Making Drake do so, and he actually felt good in the spot.
"Thanks! I'm Drake, what's yours?"
"It'll be told once the class starts. The teacher does roll call to make sure everypony is here."
Drake nodded and looked at it, he really couldn't tell if it was a girl or boy.
"And don't worry. You can be my friend Drake."
Wow. It was that easy to get a friend? He never thought it would be like that.
The school doors opened, a light blue mare with lavender mane and tail trotted in. Her honey colored eyes sparkled with excitement. Her Cutie Mark of a pink Feather with purple sparkles. She seemed friendly to say the most.
"Welcome class! I am Mrs. Featherpenny. And I will be your school teacher for the next few years."
Well. This was going to be a new life for Drake and he actually might like it. This could turn out to be good. Drake had no idea what worries he had for all this time.

And lastly. I am taking in OC's for my school scene. I am taking up to at least 8. Send em' in while you can! It can be anything. EX. Griffons, Ponies, Zebras, Lizards, Changelings. I don't care! Send em' in with detail of what they look like.
The teacher took her clipboard out while looking over the names. "Gemdream?" She called out switching her head side to side waiting for a response. "Here!" A young voice replied. Gemdream's coat was a light yellow, dark brown eyes with a smile that anypony could love, though he just stood his ground not saying a word. "Light trap?" She again swished her head for a answer. "Here!" Drake looked at the small blue-green stallion.
His Cutie Mark of a gear with glasses. Drake was curious to know what his special talent was but it didn't really matter. "Shera?" The griffon stood up that was his new friend. She was a light brown color with Tan-Peach feather markings, her brown-red eyes stood lax, claws grey, her feather color a pale red, feather style on her head shifted to the side, beak grey. "Here. Mrs. Pennyfeather." She glanced over by Drake smiling. Mrs. Pennyfeather started to set up some chalk and fabric erasers that had some chalk dust still in tact. "Drake?"
His eyes widened, feeling as if the class is pressuring their weight on him. A shudder came out and stood up. "H-Here." His nervousness was overwhelming him. He just wanted to have a fun and amazing day, but he couldn't help that they were hating him on the inside. The teacher kept calling on more students for attendance marking down each for perfect attendance on her wooden clipboard. Looking over his right shoulder he could make out a Red Pegasus with red with brown mane. His black eyes glared along a another griffon, the beak formed a evil smirk making Drake most uncomfortable.
"Alright class, eyes on me, we are going to start a lesson on the city Cloudsdale and how it began.
Mrs.Pennyfeather started the lesson on Cloudsdale. Cloudsdale was where a lot of pegasus ponies came from. Drake wanted to ask Auntie Twilight about it when Drake saw her again, Drake was curious why Cloudsdale is only for Pegai. Mrs. Pennyfether told us that Cloudsdale was where all of Equestria’s weather was made.
She also told the class that it was the hometown of the pony who made the first snowflake: a blind filly named Snowdrop. She was a light blue pegasus with the same color blue and white for her mane and tail, the same blue for her eyes, and a white flower for a cutie mark.
Her eyes didn’t have the black pupils or or dark enough the Stallions eyes that continue to lock his gaze at Drake. She went on about how it wasn't the same like everyone else though. Drake felt bad for her that she couldn’t see very well. Mrs. Pennyfeather said that Snowdrop had amazing ears that could hear almost everything around her.
When Snowdrop made the first snowflake in Equestria, it was shown to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna which was Drake's adoptive mother. When they were celebrating their one hundredth year of ruling Equestria. Snowdrop’s snowflakes had the power to tame winter’s snows too, so ponies could play in it but... 1,000 years later almost to when Drake was found, the last one had to be released.
The bell rang for lunch, everypony got up from their desks packing up their saddlebags. Drake sat on his knees picking up the clean brown saddle bag, a little weight of the school books, lunch, quills, ink, and scratch paper. Shera hovered over to Drake with her saddle bag too. Seemed like a regular brown bag that Drake had, but just metal grey locks. "So, like the lesson Drake?" She asked floating down trotting with him. "It was really interesting. What happens when they run out of rainwater?" Shera bowed her head in thought.
"Well. What I heard is that Pegasi in a little town called Ponyville, they have to make a water funnel so large that the cloud city gets it." Both Drake and Shera sat down on at a third row school table. It's grey fake wooden holding the two, a few splotches of others lunches. "Shera? Can I ask you something?"
Shera ate off a few pieces of salad of her lunch, looking up at him. "Of coarse? What's up Drake?" Drake knew that the two were good friends already and they just met but this strange feeling told him in his mind that he trusted her. "Aren't you afraid of me? I mean I am a human after all." Shera gave a serious stare.
"Of coarse I'm not afraid of you. You're the sweetest colt I've ever met. And there is no reason to feel different. The kids here are exchanged from different lands so they feel accepted. Trust me, I've been always told that griffons are mean and ferocious. I don't think that is true at all, Drake."
Drake opened his paper brown lunch bag, smiling at the smell of his lunch. "Ahhhh... Nice, tender salad with a few spices in it. Mommy knows my favorite."
Shera was more then curious, she just met him and maybe it would be a good idea to talk what he likes, what he does, what things he dislikes. "Hey Drake?" Drake returned the look of confusion. "Yeah what's up?" Shera rubbed her left arm with her right bird hand. "Who's your mommy? Not I'm being intrusive or anything."
Drake couldn't help just giving a small, light chuckle. "I don't mind at all, Shera. My mommy-" Drake paused still seeing her staring at him. He was scared if she wouldn't believe him or be shocked. "...My mommy is Princess Luna." Shera took a quick bite of her salad but it fell from her beak as soon as she heard 'Princess Luna'.
"Wait what!?"
Drake was kinda scared now she didn't believe him, he should've expected it to happen when he told her. She continues to look at him for a few good 2 minutes, mouth gaping. She fluttered words that made no sense at all.
"That... is totally awesome!" She exclaimed with a strange grin on her face. This was not what Drake was expecting of a reaction. "T-Thanks I guess, Shera." Drake and Shera both finished their lunches proceeding to head outdoors. Drake was amazed to see so many recess equipment. From swings to slides, to monkey bars to seesaws. "Whoa... I never seen so much equipment before." Shera picked Drake up with no trouble making him blush slightly.
"Don't worry Drake. I gotcha." She flew him over to the swings and placed him on one. The cold, grey yet slightly rusted metal made him shiver. "Here let me push ya Drake!" Shera said standing on her back paws. The griffon started to push Drake on the swing gently, Drake giving a laugh. "Thanks so much Shera!"
Shera pushed Drake a bit harder, still easy going. "No probs Drake. Anything for a good friend!" The two were actually good friends. Drake never thought of it being this easy. Suddenly a sharp gasp came from Shera, her eyes wide. A small rock whipped across Drake's forehead making him yell of pain falling off the swings.
The Griffon and Stallion showed up, the two smiling approving of the work. The griffon blew on his hand, a small cloud of dust flew off his hand. "Nice shot Merro." The stallion said nudging the griffon. Shera galloped up quickly protecting Drake from them. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING THAT?!" Shera asked yelling. Her brows furrowed in anger, her beak in a low frown. "Oh we had to show who's boss Shera." The griffon retorted.
The griffon a blonde white pelt with is feathers making his hair a light blond, red eyes that glared deep at Shera, peach beak that smiled with pure, just pure happiness. "You had no right of doing that to Drake! What is wrong with you?!" Her tone of anger got louder, defending her friend behind her long body.
Drake on the other hand, was rubbing his head that showed a minor bruising. It hurt alot even touching it with ease gentleness. Something in him got him going with anger, just pure cold anger. It didn't feel like a emotion of anger, it didn't hurt or numb, nothing. It felt... cold, freezing cold.
He looked at his arm shocked to see frost emitting, breath even more visible, colder to feel. Vision only seeing light blue with his brows knitting. "Arghhhhhhhh..." He began to shudder breaths. The adrenaline rising in his veins. Making him get up with a groan. His eyes piercing at the two with steam trailing off his eyes into the air. Ice formed at his feet, the freezing cold. Even if it was in the middle of spring.
Shera's feathers and pelt couldn't even handle to cold making her jump, backing up. "D-Drake?" She asked with wide eyes staring at him. Everypony on the recess grounds was just staring at him. Them too with mouths dropped. Seeing Drake like this made the Stallion and Merro shiver with fright. They were never expecting this at all. "P-Please don't hurt us. We're sorry kid!" They pleaded but the words just bounced off Drake's ears. All this hate, misery, pain got over Drake. Ice forming at his hands, swirling with cold snow. "RAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Drake screamed at the tops of his lungs switching a stance, arms raised. He blasted the two with the ice, more screaming of anger came from him. Everypony could only just watch in horror as the stallion and griffon was being blasted with this strong magic. Mrs Pennyfeather came galloping out watching this, ears drooped to the back of her head. The blasting subsided and everypony gasped, seeing what he had done. Merro and the stallion was encased in solid ice, statues of fear.
"D-Drake? W-what have you done?" Mrs. Pennyfeather asked cautiously trotting toward him. But he back backed up quickly seeing what he done. "I was right. I am a monster." He whispered. Tears flowing out as he ran off, the tears fell behind him toward the main city.
"Drake!" Shera called out spreading her wings to go after him, but Mrs. Pennyfeather stopped her with a hoof. "Just leave him, I'll get his guardian."
Mrs. Pennyfeather told her trotting back inside to write a letter. The rest of the school kids just watched Merro and the stallion frozen solid. She never thought that Drake had magic or this strong of a magic, she never thought that this would be the outcome of all of the hate he suffered. "I don't understand. How does he have magic anyway? I thought only Changelings and Unicorns had magic." She thought to herself heading back inside for the school bell rang.

I HAD TOO. I cried at this 'Snowflake' video. And I know this is on hiatus, but I got bored. Sorry for the wait everyone! Also rage points! What will happen next? Who will be his guardian that Mrs. Pennyfeather calls? Will he/she be angry or understanding? Find out in the next chapter.
Drake ran through the crowd of ponies, his whimpers of fear and sadness filled his body. Ponies stare at him with confusion and worry wanting to comfort him, but instead they stood their ground. Drake kept running, and running away into the main city of Canterlot. His head shrunk to his neck, stuffing his hand in his pockets, his body shivering. He knew he couldn't go back to that school, not after what has happened. He kept looking around the city seeing so many ponies and higher riched class ponies. "W-Why do everything I do go wrong? Why did mommy give me powers I can't even control. It's not fair... I look like a freak with my features now."
A lone tear fell from his eye, slithering down slowly. Ponies could only watch him as they trotted by. "I also wish these ponies would stop staring at me." Drake thought to himself. He was lost in thought, not paying attenuation bumping into a pony.
"Pardon me, please watch where you are-" He cut off looking directly at Drake. A smile forming off his blue combed mustache, a glass monocle on his left eye, blue combed mane that shifted to each side. A nice well black suit he wore ironed perfectly and clean, Purple bow tied onto his black suit, his cutie mark three crowns. It was none other then Fancy Pants himself. "Oh! Pardon me, lad. I had no idea it was Luna's adopted son himself. Please forgive my rudeness." Drake could only giggle at him. "You're ok Mister Fancy Pants. I forgive you, besides I should've been the one who was paying attention anyway." Drake said shrugging. "That's good lad. Might I ask if I can, why are you alone out here? Shouldn't you be with your mother?" Drake's blood ran cold from this. He didn't know how to respond to this. But since Fancy Pants was a nice stallion he would be honest.
"I-I ran away..."
Fancy's eyes widened at this. "For whatever reason lad? Your mother must be worried sick right now."
Drake looked away, afraid to see Fancy's worried gaze. "The thing is... she doesn't know." Fancy trotted up to him and putted his hoove on his shoulder. "Lad, I'm going to guess you feel hated and different. I can tell because you were shot down not too long ago." Drake looked up at him his expression showing it was true. "How did you know Mister Fancy Pants?" Fancy removed his hoove from his shoulder and sat down.
"Well, everyponies been hearing the tale that you've been shot down by a unknown figure. I'd like to give the ruffian a tongue lashing whoever shot you down, lad." Drake was happy to know Fancy was on his side to say the least.
"Thank you Mister Fancy Pants." Fancy gave a quick nod seeing his mate Fleur-De-Lis nudging him over. "Gotta go, lad. Take care and I hope you'll find reason to stay. It's a marvelous place here." With that said, he waved goodbye with a hoof and trots by Fluer-De-Lis, who then they begin to chat for Drake could not hear what they are talking about. He starts to walk away in a random direction hoping to find something harmonic.
Hopefully that something... Just something could help him calm, not make him feel much worse as he does now.
In a private meeting area, roughly around 10:42 A.M. Luna and a few captains of the royal guards were talking, putting down fliers for any teen that wanted to participate in the royal guard legion. It was supposed to go to the 'Canterlot High' School. "How many fliers your highness?" Luna thinks about it, making sure what was good enough.
"We would say around 30 fliers should be quite enough." Luna told the guard, trotting by the widow looking out. "Sharp gleam? Have thou ever felt... Something just might be wrong.. Like that feeling thou couldn't just shake off?" She asked him, looking over her right shoulder.
"W-well... Yes. I have, your highness, I've always have." He responded, trotting by her in efforts to calm her down. Although, Luna sighs deep, staring up at the window. "We art just worried about Drake first day. We cannot just shake off how he must be feeling without us." Luna said.
"Maybe, just maybe, it's a good idea to relax for once your highness. You've been working your hooves off by taking care of your human." Sharp gleam told her, much concerned for her now.
"Y-yes. Maybe we have to just relax. Drake is at school and we can relax. Thank you very-"
Before she could finish her sentence, a female unicorn guard came bursting her with a letter, much noble like. "Your highness! We have a problem! It's concerning your child!"
Luna began to freak out now, ripping the letter from her mouth, reading it word for word.
'Hello Princess of the night, my name is mrs. Pennyfeather, the human of yours had a... Strange meltdown of magic I have never seen... Your child was being bullied by a griffon and a colt. He... He was becoming enraged, freezing them solid. He ran to the main city of Canterlot, I am not too sure what magic he wields, but best for you to care for your child.'
The letter ends by her signature, Luna now worried and scared to death. Luna lets the letter drop on the floor, rushing out of the room with no words. "WAIT! Your highness! Where are you going?" Sharp gleam asked, eyes widened.
"We art going to get my child and fast!" She responded quickly. "Do not tell out sister we left! We shalt deal with this on our own!" Luna bursted out of the castle doors, guards confused as shy she was fleeing so fast.
Drake continued to gaze at the street corner stores around him, each selling different items such as wheat, jewelry, fish, coal. Though not much of them fazed him, he only had 10 bits on him since he spent most of his 20 bits on his 7th birthday. Many stores and streets corners was around and busy mostly because today was a sale day.
"Mommy would never love a human that is a true freak." He murmured, tear filling in his eyes, not much walking here he was going, he bumped into a wall, crying in pain, gluing his hand to his head. feeling it swell with a bruise. Looking up, he noticed a pastry shop that most ponies know in Canterlot. 'Doughnut Joe's Doughnut Shop' it read. The air swirled with delicious, intriguing smells of doughnuts, coffee beans brewed and ready. "Oooo! I've heard of this place, but never got a chance to visit." Drake exclaimed. Holding his head high, he pushed the door open with ease. The bell ringed another customer, the peach peach colored stallion that was Doughnut Joe himself, turned his head, smiling down a the youngster.
"Whyyyyy helloooo there! Never seen a youngster like you before!" He exclaimed, quickly trotting over by the counter, making a head count on the rest of the pastries that remained in his shop. "Sorry about that! Must be new! I'm Doughnut Joe, the owner of this great shop. And you are, kiddo?" Asking for his name, Drake replied shyly and afraid. "D-d-d-Drake... Mister Joe."
Doughnut Joe could only chuckle, gently patting the kids head with a hoof. "Don't worry, Drake. I ain't gonn' bite!" He said, a smile on Joe's face.
"Y-you aren't afraid of me?" He asked Doughnut Joe, sitting on the swivel chair. "Oh ho,ho! Coarse not!" Drake could only feel... Accept by other ponies for once... "Thank you... I hear a lot about this place! Though I never got the chance to come!" Drake told him, arms and elbows placed on the counter.
"Wellll! Since it's your first time! I'm gonna let you have a free doughnut!" Doughnut Joe flipped open a container with doughnuts with all kinds of flavors. To strawberry, to vanilla, to chocolate, to cinnamon.
"Could... I try the chocolate doughnut?" Drake nervously asked, looking up at him. Though Joe nodded. "Of coarse! One Chocolate doughnut coming right up!" Doughnut Joe exclaimed, holding a doughnut in his hooves, placing it on the counter. Drake was somewhat nervous, he picked up the doughnut put in front of him. He lifted it up to his mouth, taking a small bite out of it. The flavor of the chocolate seeped into his mouth, him smiling in happiness. "Wow! It tastes so delicious!" Drake exclaimed, taking another bite out of the doughnut.
Doughnut Joe could only chuckle at the child, ruffling his hair as he ate. "Thanks, kiddo. I appreciate Somepony telling my work is great!" Doughnut Joe turned around, closing the container with the doughnuts so they didn't stale. "So, Drake. Not to be offensive or anything, but what creature are you?" Drake put down the doughnut to answer him. "I'm actually a human to be exact." Doughnut Joe tapped a hoove in thought, thinking hard. "I think I heard of those, I'm not too sure, but I think I heard of em'. Doughnut Joe raised his head back up at Drake, watching Drake as he finished his doughnut. "Mmmmm! Thank you, mister Joe! That was amazing!" Joe put his hoove on Drake's shoulder.
"Thanks kiddo, I appreciate it. I really do. And call me Joe, no need for that fancy shmancy stuff." Doughnut Joe said.
"M-Joe... I have to get going... I'll see you sometime later, ok?" Doughnut Joe nodded, waving a hoove goodbye. "Ok! Catcha' later, kiddo! Have a wonderful day!"
Drake left the doughnut shop, leaving Joe to mumble to himself. "What a great kid..." As the child left the shop, he continued to sweep up the crumbles from the other ponies that came in the shop earlier.
Leaving the shop, Drake continued to gaze amongst the high, shining city of Canterlot, vast of buildings, homes, and shops. As Drake kept slowly walking in the city, a song in his head popped up, from when Drake was only 5. Luna used to play piano for him that sometimes helped him sleep at night.
'Duhhh Duuhhhuhhh, Duhuhhh Mmmm, Don't fret I'm heerrreee.. This moon shall bee yours, just lay yoour head and rest your weaarryy eyes..'
Drake hummed the first verse of Luna's song, a small smile curled. Drake remembered her teaching him the song at age 6. Stopping in his tracks, hearing well played music, most likely wooden, or classical.
Peering around, he catches eye a grey mare, her black hair fell to her neck, pink bow tie wrapped neatly around her neck, her purple eyes locked on the strings of a cello, strumming it like no other. A small gulp slid down his neck, standing fully up to confront the mare.
"U-Ummm... Hello, misses..." He finally got the courage to speak to her. Catching glimpse of the mare, she raised her head up at him, eye to eye.
"Oh... Hello there, sir. I believe you are the child of Luna, correct?" She questioned, making his blood run cold by nervousness. "Y-Yes, I am, misses." His nervousness was beginning to creep up on him with a lump in his throat.
She gave a smile to calm his fright, trotting up to him. "Hello, I'm Octavia, a professional musician and you sir?" Drake felt safe by this mare for some odd reason, yet he just met her.
"I'm Drake, son of Princess Luna." He greeted, now sitting on his bottom near her. Octavia brought out a case, small with a shiny sleek black. "Do you play instruments, Drake?" She asked using her mouth to open up the case to show a fine, wooden violin.
"Actually, my mommy thought me a song when I was just 6. I think I remember how it goes." Octavia takes out the violin with her hooves, holding it carefully. "Want to show me, Drake?" Now this... this was making Drake scared. Not only did he remember little of the song, but he hadn't played it in so long! Once more grasping his strength, he took the violin, taking the strummer as well. "Thank you." Drake said taking one deep breath, moving his arm to position himself on the violin. Ponies began to gather around seeing the human with the instrument and the professional mare.
Each strum he took made beautiful music as a softening melody, ponies around listened to the young human play this violin like his mother taught him. But the thought of Drake getting it wrong was too much for Drake, however. Octavia gently put her hoof on his back as a comforting sign that 'everything will be ok' moment. His back tensed up a bit, but quickly relaxed. The notes and melody grew more and more easy for him now getting the hang of the song Luna taught him.
As Luna trotted through the streets frantically searching for her missing son, screaming and calling out for his name. "DRAKE!! DRAKE!! WHERE ART THOU!?" She kept screaming and screaming his name of worry. This was a mothers nightmare, one no mother though could ever happen. "DRAAAAAAKKKEEE!!" She scremaed once more, getting scared now. "Please! Drake! Thou art not in trouble we promise! Please, come to mommy!"
Suddenly stopping, hearing close music nearby. "Drake?" She questioned, trotting now carefully to the source of the music. Now seeing all kinds of ponies gathered around in a small circle. As she came closer, she gasped seeing her son playing a fine violin, the same song that she taught him when he was just 6.
She too stopped to listen, sitting down on her haunches. She came in time to hear him finish the melody. Ponies cheered and stomped there hooves in applause. Drake handed the violin back to Octavia, nodding to the crowd. "Thank you! Thank you so much!" He exclaimed happily. Luna stood up up, slowly trotting over to him. He saw her, backing up with fright on his face. He curled into a ball on the ground shaking. "P-Please don't hurt me mommy! I-I don't know what happened! Please don't hurt me!" He cried out.
She however justhugged him, wrapping his hooves on his small form. "Shhh! Mommy is just glad thine art safe! That's all we care about!" She exclaimed, kissing his forehead. "Mommmmyy! You're embarrassing me!" Luna giggled, still holding him in her hooves. The ponies d'awwed around them, smiling and some wiping their eyes from tears. "Mommy? You don't hate me right?" He asked, still scared. She, however shook her head. "No... of coarse not our son. We're just glad thine art safe."
Luna began to carry him on her back, trotting toward the castle. "Mommy?" Luna looked up at him, still trotting. "Yes, sweetie?" Drake looked down at his neck, the necklace swinging back and forth. "D-Do you know what happened?" Luna let her head drop to the ground, eyes closed for a brief second. "Of coarse... and we shall tell thou how to control it. It's a serious thing, Drake. Tis our fault we never told you of what powerful, yet dangerous magic it carries."
Author's Note
Luna pretty much won. And I'm really sorry that this wasn't updated in 2 or 3 months. I almost forgot about the story xD. Finally updated and now I have writers block on how to start the other chapter.
Music: Kingdom Hearts 2: Passion
Well, it had been a good night since the talent show and all. Drake had a swell fun time and he actually enjoyed playing. The crown actually helped him out. He felt that he could find a talent in music making. Walking along side Luna rubbing his tiny arm. "Hey Mommy... What happened to Grandma or Grandpa?" He questioned her. Drake had always wondered that. How he never saw or heard about them. Luna and Celestia seemed really alone after all which sorta confused him seeing how they are happy with eachother. And like Celestia said, her world was much more better once that Drake came around. As well that she could be more happier now that she has a true family. Drake could sense the sadness in Luna's sockets how they seemed so hard. Sighing she stopped trotting.
"Drake... We... Don't know if we want so speak such a topic. Tis a hard subject." She replied, eyes gandering at the moon itself. Leaving Drake still confused about what she was even going on about. He figured that they left them or something bad. It had to be bad! If it wasn't, why wouldn't Luna talk about it? Resting his tiny fingers on her foreleg frowning at her said reply. "Mommy, I won't make you go on, but I need to know a little bit since I am still your son after all. Shouldn't I get to know?" Luna shook her head. Mane flowing much slower as of now.
"Drake, we understand such quench for knowledge. But such topics aren't meant to be asked. Such like this." Luna wrapped her wing around the child. "We just can't find the heart to talk about it, deary. As much as we want to, Tis not a easy subject." Giving his forehead a kiss on the head. "W-we shall tell thou when we are ready. But not now." She softly explained to him. Drake lightly flustering at her kiss. "Mooom! We're still in public!" He whined. Drake scrunching his face up. Luna lightly giggling. "We don't mind at all. Tis that thou are so adorable!" Nuzzling his cheek with the bridge of her nose. "Mommy!"
Luna was just too happy about teasing the child. "We could just tickle this little belly of yours." She said. "Mommy, no! I'm ticklish there!" He exclaimed. The little boy giggling. Luna bringing the child close. "We know thou are." She said. She knew that it would be weird in Public. So in a sense she would teleport the two into her bedroom. Drake coughing lightly. Teleporting has never been his thing in his opinion. "Who's our sweet little colt?" She cooed playfully. Drake squirming a bit.
"I am." He murmured. "Louder." She said lifting his shirt up with her magic. "Mommy!" He exclaimed. "We didn't hear thoooou." She rambled as she towered over the child. "I am..." He said still murmuring. Although slightly louder. Luna would crack this child with tickles and love. "We'll do this until thou says who's our adorable colt!" She said bringing her muzzle to the child's belly blowing onto it, mKing a raspberry sound. ThT obviously making Drake giggle louder. "Aaaah! Mommaamaah!" He began toaugh a slight bit louder. "Aaaa!" She wouldn't let go of Drake until he said those magic words.
"I'm your adorahhahah!" He couldn't say it. It was his main ticklish spot. She stopping for a brief moment. "Mmm... If that won't make you say it then we guess we'll have to try another way." She said as she lifted his legs up, two magical feathers being summouned. Beginning to tickle him again. Now on his little feet that curled to the touch of the magical feathers. "Aaahahahaaa! Momma NOOO!" He continued to laugh and giggle. "All thou has to say is the magic woooord."
"I-I am your AHAHA! Adorable colt!" He exclaims. Her satisfied, the mother mare let go of the child. "Hee... Heee... Haaaa." He curled into a ball on her bed smiling. "You sure know to tickle me, mommy." He said as she brought the 8 year old to her forelegs, almost cradling the child to her chest as her back rested againist the bed. "We love thou so much. Even more then Equestria itself." The child nodding. "I know mommy. I love you too." He said yawning. "Ooo? Is our little foal sleepy?" Bringing his head to rest against her chest, low thumps of her beating heart against his ear. Such a majestic sound to listen to.
"Hush, prince Of our night... We wish thou a gentllle sleep. Rest now, sweet dream come away. Let love and gentle clouds soooothe thou." She sang, not realizing that the door was open from the tickling to her gentle lullaby she sang to her colt. And standing there was BlueBlood himself. Scowling at such a royal such as Luna. Oh how he hated that child from the start. Such a spoiled brat in his opinion. BlueBlood wanted this child gone. Out of royalty life. Because that's all Luna or Celestia talk about anymore. 'Drake this, or Drake that!' He became so sick of him! So, he decided to he rid of this human once and for all. And he knew exactly how to do that. Trotting away with the most heinish smirk on his face a stallion could pull. He knew it was dastardly.
Whilst back with Luna, the child fell into a deep, low slumber against the chest of Luna. Her hooves stroking his hair with every breath. Wrapping her legs around the child she yawned herself. It may had been 4:34 P.M, but she knew it wouldn't hurt to nap a few hours before she could raise the moon. Her baby colt in her arms. "Goodnight Drake. Have sweet dreams." She muffled in his chocolate brown hair. Because she'd soon visit them if they were to turn horrible again at all.
Author's Note
Finally got off my lazy ass and decided to finally go back to this after a year. I'm sure you all missed me very much and I'm sorry this is crap. But, I did try to make you guys happy by doing another chapter. Honestly I'm surprised this is noticed that much. Like I said, it's still up for grabs. I will TRY to continue this story, but it won't be like a year later thing.
I'm back everypony
As moonbeams broke through the darkness, ponies could be seen closing up shop for night, getting ready for a new day. Flags swayed in the gentle breeze as the streetlights buzzed with moths. The light reflecting off the cold, hard rock in the sky diminished any shadows that hid in the corners of buildings. The Weather Mare said there was supposed to be light rain, but not a single cloud could be seen in the sky.
Princess Luna trotted slowly through the streets, observing her glorious night.
She told herself quirking a brow. She flipped up her ears, hearing a loud noise, not far from her. A clanging noise up from the street, making her slightly jump, setting the mare into a state of caution. "Who goes there!? Show thyself by order of the Princess of the Night!"She shouted up in the alleyway.
She knew she wasn't alone now, she took a small inhale to go up to see what was making the noise that had startled her. Her speed was a cautious trot, as if each step could have been her last. She was scared of what was in the alleyway or what was in it.
A small box... Not too large... 3 inches thick, 5 inches around the diameter. "A small box? This what has gotten us so worked up?" She asked lightly chuckling to herself turning on her back hooves with elegant precision. But she was stopped midway by a small cry, almost that of a foal, she whipped her head in all directions to find where it was coming from.
"P-Please.. Whomever is there, please show thyself.. we shall not harm thou.." She looked at the box speculating if that was the source. She tilted her head to the right her curiosity peaking, her horn glowed a light blue lifting the box. Although when she did the box dropped near her hooves.
Inside the box, was a small human male infant. Crying quietly, voice cracked and dry, who knows how long he’s been there. More than likely a few days, as a horrid stench was coming from the child. Her eyes go wide, falling to her haunches next to him, touching the lightly haired skin with her hoof.
His deep brown eyes red from crying. The human had brown hair not fully grown, making him mostly bald. "What art thou doing here in Equestria?
Even more... How did thou GET here?" She rhetorically questioned the small child, a small smile breaking her once straight lips. "Where art thine parents? They must be worried…”
She finally took notice of how dirty he was as well as how skinny he was, he must have not been fed in Celestia knows how many days let alone a bath. He began to silently cry again, his tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Shhh Young one... Don't cry... don't be afraid." She cooed to the little human child. Her horn glowed again, very carefully gently bringing the child near her. Her thoughts started to wander, wondering about who could have left this child in an alleyway, the parents were definitely irresponsible fools.
Her brow furrowed in anger, but was quickly reverted to it’s lax position when the child poker her snout, laughing a bit. "We shall care for thee... don't worry... thou will have a better life.." She shifted her grip and brought the child close to her chest, the child snuggling into it, coughing into the fur.
"We'll get thee cleaned up and get thee some food in your tummy." She cooed to him as her wings spread wide, taking off with a few large flaps. She flew across the city landing on her balcony. She opened the doors with her magic, crossing the room and stopping at her bed. She set the child on the moon themed covers. "Now let us get thee cleaned up, this muck upon thee is disgraceful."
She trotted over to her royal bathroom the floor covered in marble stone. Using her magic, she turned the knobs of the cold and hot water. As it should work; the water spewed out, running along the corners of the white tub. While it ran, she trotted back out to the child, picking him up with her magic, carrying him to the large tub.
She dipped him in, soaking his lower body, she brought a sponge and started to scrub him, cleaning the grime that had built up on him. Getting giggles from the small boy, "So thou like it huh? That's good. we art glad thou does."
She stood on her back legs to reach a bottle of shampoo that hopefully doubled as a body wash, grabbing a new sponge she put a generous dollop of the shampoo, and continued to scrub away the grime. As she finished washing him, she wrapped him in a small green towel. setting him on the bed again.. She heard a small growl but she knew the sound. She gave off a small giggle.
"Hungry? We had almost forgotten. We shall be right back, do not worry little one." She whispered.
She silently trotted down stairs, gulping slightly hoping she wouldn't be caught with the human child. "Ok, let's not be caught out this late by sister she'll be furious with us."
She glanced in every direction, nopony in sight. "Good. Now, where do they keep the bottles for foals?" She asked herself using her magic, but glowing dimly to not wake anypony up."Ughh! The bottles have to be around."
Her eyes widened as she recognized the voice. It was the new Princess Twilight Sparkle, her eyes were fixated in a puzzled glance. Twilight as well was hungry this night preparing to grab a small snack to head back to bed. This strange behavior Luna was showing made her stay to listen. Luna quickly turned to her body and head to her standing on all fours once more.
"Good evening Twilight! What brings thee up this late?" She asked pulling a fake smile. Twilight was still confused on the fact why Luna needed a bottle. She was a grown mare. She shouldn't have a reason for a bottle. "Twilight, we shall explain when the sun dawns. Please, tell us where the spare bottles are."
Twilight wanted her to tell her what was going on but, Luna did say she would explain later. "They are up in the left upper cabinet.I hope you will explain what is going on." Twilight answered with an agitated sigh.
"Thank thee! Like we said, we shall explain in the morning!" Luna quickly used her magic to open the cabinet and levitated out a white bottle with it's rubber nipple on the top.
She took the lid off the bottle as well as opened the fridge, grabbing a jug of milk, pouring some of the contents into the bottle, quickly closing the top of the bottle and jug, replacing the jug in the fridge and taking her leave back to her room. Luna bowed and quickly galloped upstairs to her room.
"Let's hope she tells me what's going on." Twilight said as she shook her head closing the cabinet.
"Oh no no! Shh! It's ok! We art here!"
Luna gripped onto the bottle with her hoof, cradling the child with her right hoof. Tilting the bottle towards the child’s mouth, the child recognizing the bottle and started suckling.
"That was too close. If those who birthed you, do not return...we shall take thou in mineself.” Luna said raising her eyes in thought, thinking furiously of a name for the male.
"Drake... thy name shall be Drake."
As Drake finished drinking the bottle, Luna raised herself up, gently putting the child on her back, patting carefully on Drake's back to belch him. And as any young child does, he burped quickly. "There we art.. Now let's get some sleep hm?" She moved to the bed, holding the child in her magic, and laying down. Resting her head on her pillows and putting Drake on her stomach. Drake snuggling into her belly, yawning.
She looked at the moon clock that struck 2:43 A.M. It was pretty late in the morning before looking down at the child. "Ohhhh. We have royal meetings tomorrow. How art we supposed to take care of thee then?"
She asked the child knowing she would get no reply. She just found this human, there hasn't been one for thousands of years. Especially when Equestria was attacked by them in the past. "We shall figure out something in the morning. Goodnight Drake." She laid her head back down and closed her eyes sleeping the night away with the child in her hooves.

THIRDLY! WRITERS BLOCK SUCKS!
As the night went on, Drake welly rested along side Luna forming small yet steady breaths. Her smile formatted into a low frown. She wanted to know who did this? Why did they do this? so many questions buzzed in her head just made her more angry.
'Do not worry little Drake. We shall find out whom did this and why. And once we do they'll suffer so much pain they never would have thought of.'
Her angered brows relaxed into a lax position. She will have her revenge and will show them true fear. She touched her very gently to not wake her small child up. Although... She did wonder why her seal on the necklace rejected her magic obedience. It was supposed to keep Drake from using it until he truly knew how to use it. Abruptly, she shook her head knowing it would come in time.
She gives a low sigh as her magic glowed a midnight blue. Levitating a small photo to her Right hoove.
"It seemed so long ago, when it was happiness between us and Dear sister. Why of all things, must've we had to do something so stupid to get banished like that?"
Her voice slightly cracked with a sob, a tear slithering down her blue fur falling onto Drake's left hand. Though it woke him up slightly stirring him up to turn his head facing her.
"Mommy? Are you ok?"
He asked wiping her tear off his hand with a look of sympathy on his face.
"Yes sweetie, we art ok."
He raised his head up at her, his brow crooked in worry.
"Sweetie. Hath thou ever heard of our past story, of the 'Mare on the Moon?'"
In all of honesty, he had. For Celestia told him about it.
"Yes Mommy; I have. Why do you ask?"
His voice was low toned and soft, looking into her blue eyes that concealed secrets of her past life.
"Well sweetie, we actually did such of pure hate, jealousy, and most of all... Power. We wanted power."
Drake was so confused on his part. She was already a Princess, what more could she want?
"Mommy, you're a Princess. What else could you want?"
Luna rested her chin on his hair, exhaling deep of her pain.
"Twas at the time we did not want to control. We wanted that power badly, and we became Nightmare Moon because of such. We battled Celestia over it and. And.."
Her eyes filled with tears as the horrible and painful memory materialized in her mind.
"Mommy. I'm here for you now if you need comfort."
Drake said reassuringly. Drake knew full well that Luna suffered from Depression and Sadness so he had to do everything in his power to comfort her.
"We know sweetie, twas a horrible time and place. We shall never think of such power again."
Drake was scared for her, on how it truly affected her and her memories. She looked like the mare to love yet fear.
"Mommy? You don't have to continue."
Luna planted a gentle kiss on top of his head, showing it was ok now.
"We art ok now sweetie. We have thee, Sister and everypony else. We have something to live for now."
Luna said trying to lift his spirits by giving a weak, light smile.
"Anyhow, we were banished to the moon for 1,000 years in order to keep safe and protect the citizens. But, that century art now over."
Drake couldn't help but beam at her tone being like usual. Drake was curious though, wasn't there any other way to help her? Maybe there wasn't, maybe there was. He would never know.
"Mommy? What happened after you gave your time?"
Luna thinks hard about it, thinking how to give him the most right information.
"We were Nightmare Moon at the time of a Summer Sun Celebration. Ponies were gathered there to watch me sister raise the sun for summer but, along we came to spoil it. The elements of harmony or 'Mane 6' came in to stop me at the Element stones, freeing us from our curse."
Drake was imagining it now. 1,000 years of nothing but solitude? It would literally drive him insane. He looked to his right, seeing the gleaming beam that came from the moon to the bedside of Luna.
"Mommy? I love you."
Luna closed her eyes and nuzzled him, creating a small giggle.
"We love thou too Drake. Don't ever forget."
Luna got up, trotting to the bed with Drake tailing behind her.
"Drake. We must ask thee something if thou is ok of the question at hoove."
Drake sat beside her, curling up near her. His curiosity piqued to a point and glanced at her.
"Ok Mommy, what do you need to ask me?"
How did thee get here in Equestria in the first place?"
Drake looked at her, no words forming from his mouth. It was a hard yet personal question.
"I-I don't know mommy. This happened when I was a foal so I'm not sure at all."
He responded as Luna would've thought. He was a newborn at the time, of coarse he wouldn't remember.
Luna sighs deeply and closes her eyes.
"Tis ok, Drake. Thou art right. Thou was a foal at the time so thee wouldn't remember such a thing."
Drake's head hanged low, feeling like he wasn't any help at all.
"Sorry mommy I'm not useful."
Drake said in a saddened, and low tone.
Luna shook her head fast, he didn't know which was alright. It was ok he didn't know.
"Drake... Thou art helpful. Thee just doesn't know how to answer is all, don't worry!"
Drake smiled at her remark, letting him exhale of worry.
"Ok, thanks mommy."
A sudden knock at the door ended the family time. Luna rose her head, looking at the door.
"The door is open. Come in."
A Lunar guard peered in the night. His yellow bat like eyes piercing through the dark.
"Your highness. We have a Unicornia mare that says she may know the attacker of your son."
Author's Note
I played sad music over this and I am actually crying.. GAHHHHH!!
Sorry there hasn't been an update in such awhile. I was busy with school, homework, chores, family, etc.
I need your guys help. The audience of my book. I came up with 5 ponies that would come get him. So here are the choices.
Cadence: She would be coming to Canterlot for a nights visit with her Auntie but receives a letter that was supposed to be for Luna
Celestia: Sitting on her throne waiting for any Nobles or King letters as usual. But she recives a letter by the teacher to pick him up.
Luna: She would be in a private meeting at this time with a few captains of the guards for recruiting ad around the city and High schools for any Teen stallions or mares to join but gets a letter by the teacher telling her what happened and pick Drake up
Twilight Sparkle: She would be practicing more of her magic and reading a good book with Spike along side her. She receives a letter by the teacher to get him and explaining what happened by Shera's witness.
Shining Armor: He too would be visiting her Aunts in law with Cadence to spend a bit of time there. BUT a letter from the teacher goes to him to pick Drake up.
You guys decide! I'll pick up the votes on Friday, 3:30 P.M. EST. Anything goes so don't be afraid to vote who should pick Drake up.
