Chapter one: One Strange Meeting
"Ohh I hope he's going to be fine" Said Twilight really worried, while looking at strange, unconscious stallion, who was laying in her bed, surrounded by rest of Mane 6.
"He had there pretty bumpy crash there. I mean look at his body" Said Rainbow Dash, poking his wing and making sound of multiple bones crack.
"RAINBOW! Don't do that! Do you even know in what kind of pain he must be now?" Rarity looks over his clothes, which is Not that good "And his clothes...I mean look! They look like hey been scratching toys for manticore! I think I Have to need to make something to wear for him, if he is staying here."
Suddenly, he moves his hand and places on his head while groaning. All girls look at him with much worry.
"Uh...wh...what happened..?" Strange stallion opens his eyes and quickly shields them with hand from sudden light, shining from windows. He slowly moves hand aside and starts blinking, trying to get better vision of his surroundings. Suddenly Pinkie Pie runs out at speed only she can make.
"Pinkie where are you- uh, fine..." Twilight face palms.
"Huh..?" Colt turns to the rest of mares and looks at them. One minute passes, two... So Twilight decides to break the silence. ''Are you alright? You crashed into those rocks pretty roughly! And and...oh sorry, i guess i should introduce myself. My name is Twilight Sparkle, the mare on my left with rainbow mane is Rainbow Dash, then the one with cowpony hat is Applejack , the next with styled mane is Rarity , and the shy mare behind Rainbow, is Fluttershy." She introduced them and herself to him. "Could we please know your name?"
He clears his voice "My name is Moon Shield. But you all can call me Moon. It's really nice to meet you all." He stands up and lifts every mare's hand, kissing it.
"Ohhh, what a gentlecolt" Said Rarity while blushing a bit. Same thing happened for others. He spread his wings, which was almost big as Princess's of the Sun herself, but they were looking diferent then anypony else's, but loud crack could be heard from his right wing and it fell on his back in a way it shouldn't.
"Ahhh! My wing! I think it's broken..." Moon gritted his teeth, while moving a bit it in his magic aura. And of course Twilight noticed that.
"How did you do that?" Twilight asked him, leaned forward, placing hands on her hips.
"D-did what?" He answered, bit worried by the question.
"This" She ignites her horn and lifts up book which was not far from them.
"Oh, I did that just in a way you did." He replied back.
"B-but you don't have horn..." Twilight said even more confused.
''Yes, but i do it with my hands sometimes. Don't you..? " After he said it, Moon moved his arm up and little dark, midnight blue aura appeared around his hand . He was bright yellow colt, with dark blue mane, his eyes was also sky blue color. Moon taller bit than everyone, and he wasn't fat or too bulky, but his wings...they were like grown up dragon's. The news that Moon could do that, made collective gasp from everyone.
"But...thats imposoble!...I have so many questions! HOW DID YOU DO THAT!? WHY YOU HAVE MAGIC IN YOUR HANDS!? WHY I DIDN'T KNEW ABO-" Twilight started to loose it and AJ noticed it, taking off her hat and smacking it on back of Twilight's head.
"Sugarcube, listen ta me. Ah'm confused as yer are. Just give some time for him." Said AJ in her usual southern style. Moon slowly walked aside while they were arguing how can he had such strange kind of magic and such wings. He noticed Fluttershy sitting on other side of room, looking out of the window, and walked to her. "Hi, umm Fluttershy if I remember good?" He knelled down himself to be in eye level with her's.
"Umm y-yes...." Fluttershy said, but really quietly. "Could I help you?"
"Can i ask, can you show me where I could get some water, i'm really thirsty..." Said as he was rubbing his throat.
"Sure, just follow me." She stood up and walked outside the room, as well as Moon was following her. His broken wing ached a lot and it made quite sound from all that, of course Fluttershy heard that. "That sounds painful...Hey Moon, there is a place to sit down in living room on couch, go there and I'll come back with water and bandages for you" She said it, while smiling warmly to him.
"Thank you, you are really kind." He walked down stairs, just like she told him. After few minutes she came to him with glass of water and in other hand had the medical kit.
"Now um, if you could, could you take off your shirt..? If that's ok..."
"Sure, just give me few moments." He pulled his ruined t-shirt up and placed next to him, revealing his front muscles and well done body, from look of it you could say he was working hard to look like that, and yes, he was hard working pony.
"O-oh...my..." She quietly said while blushing harder, placed her hands to mouth. Moon gladly took water and drank it in few gulps. She started to wrap bandages around his broken wing. "This might hurt a little. Also, can i ask, what pony are you? I mean, a pegasi, unicorn..." Fluttershy started to wrap it around Moon's wing. He didn't showed any sign that it hurts. Her touch was really soft and comforting, her hands were warm and made feeling like you were touched by an angel.
"Wow Fluttershy, you are really good at it and thanks again for helping me out. I couldn't do it by myself. And yes. I am half dragon, half pony, or in other name, dracony. "
"Half dragon...Dracony...? Oh it's nothing, i'm glad to help you..." She said warmly, procesing what he just said, because she Never heard such species in her life. The arguing still could be heard for few moments and then it gone silent.
"Hm... it gone so quiet in here..." Moon said as he was listening for any sound in house.
"Yes, too quiet..." As soon as Fluttershy said it, rumbling could be heard upstairs then running down to him.
"Where have you bo- oh, you putting bandages on him. I guess I forgot to do it in first place." Twilight said as she was rubbing back of her head and made fake smile.
"It's ok, Twilight. I'm glad to help him." She said warmly to her, as she was finishing wrap his side. "And done. Now don't take them of for a two weeks, or it not gonna heal."
"Thanks again Fluttershy. I couldn't done it without you. And two weeks, hehe, i don't think so..." Grining, his hand goes for t-shirt, but it gets grabbed by Rarity's hand.
"You are not going to walk around wearing that! Come later to my boutique, I'll make something nice to wear for you." She walks up to door, opens it with her magic and walks out, with his shirt of course.
"But...my t-shirt...." Moon said as his favorite t-shirt gone from his look.
"Oh don't worry 'bout it sugarcube, ah'm sure she's gone make something ta wear for ya." Applejack said.
"And probably fix your t-shirt too." Twilight added.
"Well...if you say so..." Moon said a bit worried. He suddenly facepalms "I forgot to ask. Could I know, where am I?"
"You are in Ponyville, Golden Oak library." Said Twilight smiling.
"Pony...vile...?" Said Moon confused. "And this is library? That explains why there is so much books in here."
"Wait, you haven't heard of Ponyville?" Asked Rainbow him and he just shook his head no. "It's like the best town in whole Equestria!"
"Well ah have get back ta buckin' apples on the farm." Said Applejack. She said goodbyes to everypony in room and went back to her farm.
"Oh and I have get back to sky too. See you all later." Rainbow opened window, waved her hand and flew away, leaving rainbow trail behind her.
"Wow...she's fast..." Moon said in awe. At that moment Spike comes back from from boutique where Rarity was making new clothes for Moon.
"Hey Twilight, i'm back." He said as he walked in main room and noticed there tree ponies. Fluttershy, Twilight and Moon. "Hi Fluttershy and..."
"Moon Shield, but call me Moon." He said warmly, he noticed Spike lifted his arm for shake and Moon gladly accepted it. "Its really nice to meet you, Spike."
Then dragon turned to Twilight "Oh, Rarity told me that she wanted to see us in her boutique as soon as possible." He started heading back to doors to outside "And i'm going to tell it to Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. So I'll see you there later." He waved his claw and went outside, looking at sky for familiar cyan pegasus.
"Wow that was so fast...I guess there is no time to waste then. Come Moon I'll show you town. I guess you should like it. It first might look strange, but in time you see it's really fun in here." Twilight waved her hand come with her as she was heading outside. Moon runed up to doors and opened them for nice mares. They giggled while walking out.
As Moon was was walking behind his new two friends, he noticed how nice they looked in sunlight. Twilight was wearing purple t-shirt and dark blue jeans. Fluttershy was wearing green sweater and long light pink dress. And no, he didn't cared what size was their *ahem* breasts *ahem*. The town so far looked really nice and welcoming. The biggest surprise was when he noticed that library was in a giant tree. As he was walking further he noticed that town had more mares than stallions. And of course other mares have been already having their eyes him, while talking between them and giggling. Well they must been talking about him, because he was shirtless and his look made others blush. Even a few mares waved at him and others while walking beside him, teasingly moved their flanks. He let out a sigh and covered his body and head with his leathery wings and looked like he was having hoodie on himself, shadow on his face was hiding blush that was crossing his face.
After more ten minutes of walking, Twilight cleared her voice. "And here we are." She lifted her arm to point at building in front of them. "Rarity's boutique."
Moon watched at building with jaw dropping to ground look. It looked like giant, fancy tent, only it was made from strong materials. Twilight opened doors and poked her head in. "You called us Rarity?" She asked and after few minutes the fashionista came out, already wearing new clothes. She wore black open jacket and white blouse, black fancy pants surrounded by leather belt. That look really showed her perfect body curves. Rarity next to her was levitating tray with tea for everypony and dragon, as well as some sweets and gems. On other side of room was sitting Rainbow Dash, Spike and Pinkie Pie. When pink party pony noticed Moon, she jumped up and ran to him, giving her signature almost bone crushing hug.
"HI! IM PINKIE PIE! I GUESS YOU MUST BE NEW HERE BECAUSE I NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE AND I KNOW HERE EVERYPONY! WELL I SEEN YOU YESTERDAY BUT YOU WERE UNCONCIOUS SO I COULDN'T SAY HI! SO HI!" Pinkie said while hugging him and hyper active tone, all in one breath.
"P...please....air...." Moon almost said. Pinkie gasped and let him go, while he was breathing in precious oxygen to his lungs. Then he grabbed his side, gritting his teeth from pain of super hug, Pinkie gave him. But he wasn't angry, he knew she was exited to see him and same was for him. "Hi Pinkie Pie. I'm Moon Shield, but call me Moon." He turned to others "That's how friends call me." He said it while warmly smiling to everypony and Spike.
"Ok Moonie!" Pinkie said cheerfully and Moon only looked at her a bit confused, but shrug it off.
"Oh Moon, could you come with me, I want to show you something."Rarity gestured him to come with her to next room. He nodded and followed her. As he came there, he saw few ponyquins dressed up in eight t-shirts. There also was few pants and jeans too. Six of t-shirts were black and each one represented each cutie mark of mane six. Then there was a white one with his cutie mark surrounded by their. And last one was his fixed t-shirt.
"I'll be going to others and you change your clothes." She said it as walked out though door and closing them behind her. Moon looked over each one of them and decided to put on white one and black pants. When he changed himself, he came back to others and there was Applejack joined the conversation.
"Howdy partner." She greeted him in her usual accent.
"Hey Moon, why don't you tell about yourself?" Twilight asked him while warmly smiling.
"Sure. Well It was like this..." He he sit down next to Pinkie, took a sip of the tea and started to tell everypony story his past.
Chapter two: The story of his past
"It's going to be long story. So it was like this..." Right when Moon Shield wanted start talking, he remembered something that would make it more fun. "Just let me do something first.." His hands started to glow in nice midnight blue aura. Then he moved his hands in circular motion and it leaved a bit brighter blue line in the air. Its center started to fill with blue aura and it became hard and solid, like a magic screen. "There." He said proudly looking at his creation. And everypony was wondering what could it be. Then Twilight decided to ask.
"Hey Moon, what is that thing?" She asked, still thinking what the strange object could be.
"Oh this? It is something i learned long ago. This screen shows some memories i remember, i made it because... well it be more fun to listen and you all will understand better." He sleepishly smiled, while rubbing his hand on back of head.
"Later, you are going to learn me that. And show other spells or ''what you learned'' you know." Twilight said, seriously looking at him. "Now you can continue with your story."
"Ohhh this is going to be so exiting!" Pinkie smiled brightly, jumping in her place while sitting.
"Well it happened like this..." Magic screen goes pitch black, silky, colorful lines appearing on it, white dots poking out from blackness and getting shape of stars. And in screen's middle could be seen little star, getting brighter and brighter until...it explodes, or as other says, turn into supernova, a dying star. "I was born in dying star. Most of dragons born like this, but i was exeption. You see, i'm not really a true dracony, well in part yes, but real me is a fire dragon pony. I'm expert at knowing fire spells and using them. But i can only change into that, in time of need or if i try really hard. There was other kind of dragons, but they didn't looked like Spike. Oh it was far from cute and cuddly teen dragon. Most of them had short legs, bigger arms, insanely sharp claws, big body and enormous wings. And yes they had scales. And some looked like giant, flying snakes, and others didn't had any wings at all, but still could fly. But the thing is, every each of them was special. They all lived incredibly long time. So, some were fire dragons, others could control water and other elements. Some could control light and dark. Others were very fast and others could make items or things only with a power of mind. I had a teacher, she was a mirage dragon, last of her kind. Her name is Saphira, she can control other creatures minds without a flaw. She was best teacher i had. She learned me how to use my powers properly and fly. But then something bad happened... There was dragon named Darkus. He was dark magic fire user. He wanted to have more power." Screen changes, showing Moon in his real form. He had fiery red mane and tail which was on fire. He had large and big dragon wings on his back. In screen he looked much more bulky and his his hands and hooves was on fire, eyes were same blue, but also looking like dragon's. Then it changed into him and next to him was giant blue, with lines of purple scales dragon. His teacher Saphira. While Moon was talking, it showed other dragons, normal and then snake like ones. When he started talk about Darkus, screen changed into pitch black and in it only could be seen glowing red eyes.
"So wait...you are a fire dragon pony?" Spike asked Moon, with smile on his face.
"As I said, yes i am. When I'm in that form, I can use a lot of moves with fire. Like fire breathing, shooting it, turning ground around me into lava and more things like that." Moon replied him smiling and with calm face.
"Ahh shut up! I want to hear rest of it!" Pinkie shouted at Spike.
"Ok ok, i'm quiet now." He made move with his claws on his mouth, as he like zipped his mouth.
"Okay...as i was saying..." He picks up cup with tea, drinks some of it, clears his voice and continues it. " When elder dragons knew of his plan, Saphira went to stop him. I of course, followed her... and I had no idea in what trouble i am getting into... When I was there I saw them fighting. I saw how Darkus wanted bite her in neck, so good that I had my own made weapons with me, I took pulled out my sword and shield and flew at him at full speed and force, but when my shield contacted with him, it shattered into pieces, but I sent him flying to mountain. Saphira had enough time to get up and heal herself. But she did something what I didn't expected. She opened some kind of portal trow my bag in there and... punched me in it, because there wasn't any other way, because I would never leaved her." Moon said it with big sadness in his voice.
"Wow Moon... I wouldn't think you are that brave. I mean, you stood up to overpowered, giant dragon, just to save another one!" Rainbow told with much surprise and shock in her voice, while trowing her hands in air and jumping bit in air while sitting, looking closely at his face.
" She wasn't 'just another one'. She was my family, everything I had... Last words I heard from her was ''I'm sorry Moon, but there was no other way. I'll be ok, so don't worry about me''. After that everything went black and I didn't saw her since that." Moon looked down sadly at floor. It was really sad scene for others.
"Oh don't worry Moonie, i'm sure she is fine. You wasn't alone there with much power. What about other dragons? I'm sure they all beaten his dragony a-" Pinkie almost said it, but was stoped by Applejack.
"Ah Pinkie! Hush with words now sugarcube. This story is swearing free." The farmer pony placed her hand on Pinkies mouth, then party pony thinked a bit and pushed her hand away.
"Hey! Only i can break fourth wall!! And you silly filly! I wanted to say 'Beaten his dragony ARMOR." Pinkie raised her voice for last word. Moon noticed Twilight waving him to continue, he understood her gesture and continued it.
"So when I woke up, I was in some kind of forest. I was walking around there for like half an hour, till I met somepony or should I say, someone. I met group of tech like girls. They were a group ran away from some tyrant. I don't remember rest of who was there. So what I remember, that their land was taken over by factories, in which they people were being enslaved, but they had a secret base. It was kinda strange to see them, how they going so well without magic. Most of the things there were mechanized. And they were fighting against some kind of mad scientist with named "The Analiator". Anyways, I lived there for 3 years. When I was helping make them some kind of device, which should with one blast, shut off all fabrics and clean the air once again, and others were working on a portal. That remote from bombs reacted in strange way. It made some kind of electrical charge on me and the portal, it opened up and exploded. And that's how I got here with you guys." Moon finished his tea ,trowed a piece of candy in air and caught it with his mouth. All girls hang their mouths open from his story. There was silence for few minutes. So Spike decided to break it.
"So you say, you are from another dimension, been with overpowered dragons, sent to some kind of planet, and accidentally ended up here?" He asked Moon with confused face.
"Yup, you are right with everything..." Moon said casualy.
"So what are you going to do now?" Asked quietly Fluttershy.
"I guess first, place to find to live. Train a lot, get stronger, forge myself some gear and make my way back to my own dimension, and then...end it once and for all."Moon said with much passion, courage and bravery in his voice, slamming fist into his open hand.
"Hmm...I think I'll have to send letter to the princess Celestia, about you. Spike time to go home." She gets up, but gets stopped by Moon's hand.
"Wait, i can teleport you back there." Moon said while smiling. Suddenly Pinkie gasped and ran outside, leaving pink trail behind her. Moon and others look at swinging door with faces as they saw something really strange.
"Anyways, you said you can teleport us back to library?" Twilight asked him with smile on her face. She whispers to Spike "I would like to see that, because powerful alicorn can teleport two ponies with him or her, but after it getting really tired and magic level decreases drastically."
Moon of course heard it all and thought of something fun.
"Everypony, touch other ponies shoulder, then put your hands on my shoulders." Raity gently put her hand on his left shoulder and Twilight right one. Then Spike put claw on Twilight's shoulder and Fluttershy put her hand on Spike's. Rainbow Dash put her hand on Rarity's shoulder and Applejack put her's on Rainbow's. Moon looked to one side, then another one. He put middle and index fingers to his forehead and closed his eyes, after few moments, air shook and they disappeared in middle of air. They appeared in library. They let go everyone and by look on their faces, this kind of travel was first time.
"H...how...how did you do that..?" Asked Twilight weakly. She almost fall down, but was caught by Spike.
"It's something i learned from others on my adventures, only very concentrated creatures can do this kind of thing. I was trained good too." Said Moon as he rubbed hand behind his head, smiling.
"Okay... Spike, take a letter." Twilight commanded her assistant and he saluted, after he came back with quill, bottle with ink and parchment. He put quill in bottle and got ready to write. Twilight loudly said as he was writing.
"Dear Princess Celestia. Yesterday something strange happened. A colt named Moon Shield has crash landed here in Ponyville, next to the library. He that day was unconscious, so i could not say anything about him yet, because i did not knew anything, but today he woke up and told everything about himself. And he is a dracony, half dragon. So I guess you would like to see him. Your student, Twilight Sparkle." As Twilight finished her speech for letter, Spike put last dot and sent it in green flames. Moon was a bit confused of his action.
"Um Spike, why did you burned that letter?"
"I didn't burned it. You see, my flames are magical, so like that I can send letters to princess." Spiked said laughing at Moon's face expression after he heard it.
"And what this princess does? Is she ruler here or something?" Moon asked still confused a bit. After he asked that, everypony made big collective gasp.
"Princess Celestia is most important pony in this land. She is ruler of Equestria and the raiser of the sun. Then there is Princess Luna, she is Celestia's younger sister and raiser of the moon, as well as ruler of land too." Explained Twilight to him. Suddenly Spike burped letter up, opened it and started to read it.
"My most faithful student Twilight, i'm very glad you told me about your current condition. I would like you and other elements come to the castle tomorrow, as well with your new friend. I would like to talk to him private at once. Yours teacher Princess Celestia. " Spike finished loudly reading letter from the Princess.
"Looks like you going to meet Princess herself." Rainbow said as she leaned on Moon. Then a pink letter got pushed under the door and Rarity picked it up.
"Looks like we been invited to a party. A Pinkie styled party." Rarity said smiling.
"Ohhh better get ready to move your hooves, because you have never seen party like this." Spike said patting Moon's back. Suddenly Fluttershy jumped, but saw that nothing happened.
"Umm Moon... isn't your wing broken..?" Fluttershy asked watching carefully Moon.
"I think its already healed up. You see, I heal fast, really fast. Now...Spike if you could..." Spike understood what he wanted, he raised his claw and slashed it almost touching Moon's wings. All bandages fell off him, he spread his wings making few cracks, because he didn't moved them for longer time. Fluttershy watched everything dumbfounded. "So, let's go there?" He moved to door and opened them. They all walked to town's famous sweet shop. In there they been greeted by pink party pony.
After a Pinkie's 'Welcome to pony vile party' for Moon, he almost walked up to bed and fallen into it, falling asleep fast, thinking "tomorrow gonna be an interesting day."
But...in other place and other universe somedragon evil was waiting. To him flew much smaller one. "Oh great master of darkness Darkus, the spell Is half completed." Smaller said one.
"Good...MWAHAHAHAHA! SOON I'LL GET MY REVENGE FOR THAT PRICKY FIRE BALL!" The large black dragon laughed loudly with deep growling voice, as smaller one looked at him with fear, and farther away, in magic cage was laying unconscious blue, good dragoness. Saphira...
Chapter three: Meet the royal family
_-"At Canterlot Castle"-_
As soon as Celestia raised the sun up, she turned to little town's side, thinking about events that are going to come up today. "Hmm...Moon Shield...why does this name sounds so familiar?" She puts her hand to head templates and rubs them a bit. "Oh well. I will see him when he arrives with Twilight and other girls." She started walk to her bedroom doors, open them and walk though hall to dining room for breakfast. When she came into room, she saw Luna there eating her breakfast already. "Hello dearest sister." Celestia greeted her happily. "How is my little Lulu doing this fine morning?"
"I'm tired... Tia." She smiled at her young times name. Both of them liked to call each other by their young times name, but it only was between them. "I was patrolling at night. And I am going to sleep." Luna yawned as saying going to sleep.
"Oh we going to have guests in few hours."
"Who? Your student Twilight Sparkle?"
"Yes and other barrier elements."
"Oh that's so go-"
"And somepony else. He appeared to Twilight two days ago." She cut off Luna's words.
"He? Appeared To her?" Luna was now a bit confused and interested.
"His name is Moon Shield. He is coming here with other elements of harmony here at castle and going to stay for a while." She said smiling. Luna just yawned, got up and went to her bed chambers. She waved her good morning and as soon as opened dining hall's doors tree girls came in here. They said to both princess good morning and went to their plates. Celestia cleared her voice to get their attention. "Good morning girls, today we going to have some guests. So after breakfast go clean up yourselves and look nice, also be at your best behaviour." After she told it, girls talked between the who it might be and went to their rooms get ready, leaving Sun goddess alone with her thoughts.
Moon was standing in darkness alone, around him was small circle of light. He turned into his real dragon pony self and caught himself on fire making circle bigger, but revealing darkness horrible secret. On one side there was in magic cage his teacher Saphira, on other side, holding on hands, hooves and their necks, his new friends on magic black chains. And in middle of all, sitting In a throne giant pure black dragon, with bloody glowing red eyes. Suddenly cage started to go smaller and chains started to pull to different directions mane six limbs. He wanted to rush to them, but he was sinking into ground fast. After few moments his head was seen and after few more moments nothing, loud dark laughter could be heard and screams of pain and for help...
_-"Ponyville. Golden Oak Library"-_
"AHHHHH!!! WHOOAAAA!!! Oooof....!"He shot straight up from his bed and accidentally fallen down on floor. "Phew....it was just a nightmare...and oowww..." he rubbed place where he hurt his head. He got up and looked over himself, he after that nightmare became really sweaty. Moon walked out of guest room and to bathroom. He brofisted Spike and young dragon responded the same way. In these days they became really good buddies. After some minutes he reached his destination, opened door then turned around and saw naked, wet Twilight. He shooted outside before she saw him. And of course he got wingboner and was blushing furiously. After few minutes of heavy breathing, Twilight came out and noticed his strange look.
"Good morning Moon. Why are you so red? Did something happened?" She touched his forehead then hugged him, pressing herself close to him as much as she can. Moon noticed what she is doing and blushed even more, making his ear tips red.
"G-good morning Twilight. N-n-n-no! Everything is j-just fine." He faked smile to her. She looked at him with strange look and started to lean forward for kiss. He understood what she wanted to do, so he made quick kiss on cheek. Then he pushed her back. "Sorry Twilight. I wasn't in shower for quiet a while now. So if you excuse me, I smell really bad and I have a date with shower."
"Hehe. OK, but be quick, Spike going to make breakfast in few minutes." She giggled and started walk away teasingly moving her flank. There was something that she liked about this colt, but couldn't understand what. As for Moon...he was really surprised and confused about her actions. He shrugged it off and went into shower. After it, he walked out and in hall was nice smell of pancakes and other food Spike made. He was floating in air from nice smell to kitchen. Spike noticed new guest and something more.
"Moon...you're drooling." He said laughing."
"Sorry, but I can't help it. It smells too good."
"Oh yeah, I dunno what I do without my little assistant. He mostly does all the hard work for me and I love him, like he is brother to me, that's why he is my favourite dragon ." Twilight added and warmly smiled to him.
"And you're like sister to me, Twilight." Spiked said to her and returned nice gesture. "Oh! Breakfast ready."
From then everything went good. They talked how Twilight told her past from foal-hood, till she became a princess. Spike also told what has happened to him.
"Umm guys, I haven't told everything about me. You see... I have condition called 'multiple personality issue'." He told it in serious tone.
"And what does that mean...?" Twilight asked, having no clue what does it mean.
"Let me explain. It is like you see me now, I am in my normal state. Besides me, there are four more of me's. Moona Shield, Fire Rage, Soft Shield, Harmonic Shield and Dark." Moon started to say his so called 'disease'. "So about Moona. She is mare. Yes I know it sounds strange, my body changes with every state I am in. Anyways about her. She appears, when I see something really embarrassing and I become...broken, it is a kind of state, where i don't respond to anything, and am like a statue for couple or more minutes. Then she appears. When Moona is there is fifty and fifty chance that she WILL end up with somepony in bed or help out with other things. Believe me, she IS really big tease..."
''Okay, go on mister...'' Twilight gestured him to continue.
''Fire Rage...how to say this more nicely...imagine somepony, who can get angry really fast and catch on fire basically Anything...He appears when i am in huge pain or am really angry.'' Chuckles little, taking bites of his breakfast.
"So something embarrassing?" Spiked asked, smiling and looking at Twilight.
"Don't even think about it, Spike."
''Ahem! As i was saying...'' he continued speaking to the young alicorn and dragon.
The rest of the morning went Moon telling them about his other personalities. Later he helped Spike clean the dishes, as Twilight went to dress up nice for princesses. She put on black bra and panties, on top of that purple sweater with no sleeves and blue jeans. Moon has gone to his room, took his fixed black t-shirt and black pants. Spike had green t-shirt, on top of it purple open jacket with short sleeves and dark purple jeans. They meet up at main room and decided who is going to who.
"I go to Rarity!" Spike said without waiting.
"I guess I go to Fluttershy." Moon said rubbing hand behind his head and smiling.
"Then I go take Pinkie Pie." Said Twilight with sigh.
The library residents had same clothes from yesterday, Moon put on black pants and his 'torn' shirt, which now looked much better now. Spike opened door and Twilight then Moon and last Spike went out of library. Moon asked how to get to Fluttershy's house and she told him that its near everfree forest. Then he asked where that is and she pointed to that place, then she spanked his butt and winked, then vanished in her teleportation spell. As Moon was walking, much mares said hi to him, and some was even walking with him and talking. One thing that he noticed was, all of them were teasing him with their body parts. Then he couldn't handle the pressure and jumped on some buildings roofs, running from one to another, making incredibly big jumps and soon got near to place Twilight told him. All mares were looking for him, but no avail. Soon he saw the forest, he looked around and saw the cottage she told him about. He was walking to the doors, while watching around. The place looked really nice and Fluttershy, did really good job for her animals. He knocked on door and they were opened a bit by shy mare pegasus. When she saw that its Moon, her face lighten up with smile, opened fully doors and gave him big warmly hug. Squeezing her chest to him. She wore nice light blue dress, on lower part of it went yellow line and on it were three butterflies stitched out nicely.
"Hi Moon. I missed you so much." She said quietly while hugging him."
"Hey Fluttershy. How are you doing?" Moon hugged her as well, blushing how close she was.
"Oh I'm doing fine, I was feeding my little critters."
"Wow, that is so kind of you." Smiled to her. She smiled back to him and was starting lean forward for a kiss. "Oh I wanted to ask you, could you go and tell Rainbow Dash to get ready, we are leaving soon." He quickly broke the moment, not because he was that silly to do it, but because what he learned. Never fall in love in strange places and/or with strangers. But it was too late for Fluttershy.
"Sure...I'll go get her." She said smiling, but hiding under smile a bit sadness.
"Thanks Fluttershy, I'll go get Applejack!" He flew off fast saying it loudly so she could hear it. "Oh and we all have to meet at train station!" He was then out of sight. Fluttershy sighed and started to walk to Rainbow's house. Soon she flapped her wings and flied there.
Moon was flying high in sky, looking for apple orchard, of course it didn't took long to see giant field with apple trees everywhere. He started to land fast on the ground, after he landed he made quite big dust cloud around him. He walked down the road to barn, looking for farmer pony. As he was walking, he heard a mare's voice and strange sound like somepony is kicking trees. As he walked there he saw Applejack, bucking down apples, from apple trees.
"Hi Applejack".
"Howdy Moon. Just lemme finish buckin' down these apple an' ah am ready t' go." She shook his hand and Moon almost lost feeling of it, how strong she was. As she was working, she wore her stenson hat jeans to her knees, green panties, because Moon could see a bit of them and light green t-shirt, it looked like she didn't had any bra. So he turned away, blushing a bit of his thoughts. As she finished, walked to house, came back as she was wearing her same stenson hat, blue jeans, leather, brown jacket and under it sleeved green and red lined blouse. "Ok ah am ready ta go". They both started to leave farm and walked to train station. As they were walking, she told stories about her apple family, what happened lately and things like that. When they got, they were last, there was waiting all of their friends. Rainbow Dash was wearing light blue shorts and black, short shirt. Rarity looked really elegant. She was wearing black costume pants, dark open jacket and under it white blouse. And behind her was Spike, holding much suitcases, which most, well all of them was Rarity's.
"Ok, is everypony ready?" Twilight said with a smile, while clapping her hands. Everypony nodded and got into train. They went to their usual places and sit together. Twilight with Moon, Spike with Rarity, Pinkie Pie with Applejack and Fluttershy with Rainbow Dash.
"So Moon, what kind of spells you know?" Asked Twilight smiling.
"Well... I know lot's of kinds. Elemental, item, blood magic, dark magic, summoning. Much of them". He replied tapping his finger to his chin.
"Could you show me some of them?"
"Of course. Hmm...just let me think for a moment." He tapped finger to his chin and looking up, that's how he looked when is thinking. "I know! Hey Fluttershy, which animal is your favorite?"
"Um, bunnies. Why you asking?" She said quietly.
"Now look..." His hands started to glow, then from them a blue like mist line came on floor. He pointed them at floor and around them appeared circles with strange symbols in them. Soon from them started to go straight lines, still with strange symbols in them. After few moments in that place started to appear small bunny, made from pure magic. It's color was midnight blue and it started to hop around. Both Twilight and Fluttershy looked at it with their jaws dropped to ground. Moon picked up little creature and hand it over to Fluttershy. "Now just be careful, you don't want him to disappear, do you?"
"O-oh no, I never would even think about such a thing". She petted and stroked bunny's magical fur and it fallen asleep on her lap. "Wow, he is like real, so fuzzy and soft, and so cute".
Twilight still couldn't believe what she saw. "Could I try holding it for a moment?"
"Sure Twilight, here". Fluttershy carefully handed over little bunny to Twilight, she placed him on her lap and as soon as she touched him, bunny changed colour in her's magic colour.
"Wow, why did you changed his colour?" Asked Twilight, Moon.
"I didn't. Hm, this is rather strange but I think I know why this happened. You see, when you summon any kind of magical animal, it can bond with another pony. And it seem this just happened". He explained smiling.
"So it means, this little bunny, is bonded to me?" Pointed at now lavender colour bunny and herself.
"Eeyup". Moon made laugh Applejack from this.
The rest of the time went casually. He showed her some more magic spell and learned her too. Now if she tried really hard, she could make objects out of thin air, just like Pinkie could. When it was hour left till arrive to the Canterlot, all of girls and dragon took a nap, but Moon didn't. He felt how Twilight used him as something to sleep on. When she was sleeping, she looked like angel fallen right from the sky. But minds of further events didn't gave peace to Moon. He thought over and over every possible thing, what might happen. Then he saw, through window, the station and started to clap his hands and wake everypony and Spike up.
"Wakie wakie my friends, we're here". He said as was standing up and helping others do it too. They all got up and started to pack their things up. At station Twilight was greeted by most of the ponies. To castle was good half hour walking, and Spike had to carry all Rarity's stuff. Moon noticed that and took all of it in his magic. Spike cleaned away sweat on his forehead and walked behind group of mares with Moon. The problem was, as they were walking through street most ponies noticed Moon's and wings, which got them strange ideas. But when they noticed he is walking with the princess of magic herself, even bigger chaos was coming to the group of city ponies.
"Hello, I'm Fancy Pants. Excuse me for asking, but I noticed that you have such strange and wings. Are you sir...not from Equestria?" Fancy Pants talked to Moon really politely as they were walking down the road.
"I'm Moon Shield...'wow, how Not rude of him...ugh, this is why i don't like cities'" Replied to him, thinking about other things too, unsure why he is talking like this.
"Ah, Moon Shield. And to who I have to thank for such honor visiting our great city?"
''I uhh..." He jumped and almost dropped all luggage on themselves, suddenly getting so unexpected question. Luckily Twilight heard them all and helped to solve problem.
"He is with me, Moon is....uhhh....my project I was working on to show Princess Celestia, to show that...uhhh...alicorn magic can give earth pony new kind of wings.
''Ah i see. This is most unusual to see this kind of wings, and you sir look pretty big too, but i suppose most of all earth ponies are this big, ha ha ha.'' Chuckled Fancy, patting Moon's back.
''Well actually I'm n-''
''Oh! look at the time, we have to run NOW.'' Twilight interrupted Moon and grabbed his hand, walking with him and others at much faster peace, pouting little, but then letting out a sigh. ''Look Moon, we don't want get any attention now. It be best if we could reach princess as soon as possible.''
''Ugh fine, the sooner the better, honestly...i don't like Anything that is fancy and stuff like that. No offence, Rarity, you're my friend, you are an exeption.'' Smiles to her.
''Non-taken.'' Returns the nice gesture.
After more several minutes of waling, the group reaches front gate, where they are greeted by Princess of Sun herself, wearing long, colorful like her hair dress, as well her usual tiara and neckless. Two royal guards, in shining golden armor standing beside her, looking all serious and concentrated.
''Welcome Twilight, it is so nice to see you again.'' The princess walks forward, hugging her favorite student. ''And i see you have your friends as well, old and new one?'' Looks behind her, still having that warm, bright smile. She looks at Moon and walks forward to him. ''Hello Moon Shield, I am Princess Celestia, ruler of this land.'' Talks to him, in calm, proper way.
Moon gets little sweat dots on his forehead, quickly bowing down and letting out little sigh, thinking 'Dammit Moon, why it suddenly got so hard for me, its like...ugh...she has this enormous hidden power, i can feel it...i know her from somewhere...but dammit where!' He moves back and takes her hand, kissing it softly. ''I heard very good words about you princess. And i see, you already know me from the letter that Twilight wrote.'' Smiles little, rubbing back of his head.
''You may calm down now, i am your friend, not a stranger.'' Smiles softly and turns around. ''Come my little ponies, you all still have to settle in the castle.''
Group started to follow princess back to castle. After they got in, Moon let out whistle, because he never seen in his life such place before. After they got in main hall, princess turned to them. ''Twilight, i must you leave you now for few hours, i still left some work to do in my office. Would you kindly please, show him around the castle? I would greatly appreciate it.''
''Yes Princess. Girls, we are done for today. The rooms are at same places as previous times you stayed in. Come on Moon, I'll show you around.'' She grabbed his hand and started to walk fast down the hall, opposite way Celestia went. He almost fell down after Twilight launched forward, but managed to keep up with her.
''Well girls, i better go to my room. Oh Spikey~!'' She took in her magic small bag, after calling the dragon, he was standing next to the fashionista.
''Yes, Rarity, you wanted something?''
''Could you be genteldragon and help me carry my bags to my room? Their so heavy, and lady like me can not do it all by herself..'' she looked at him with eyes like a little, cute puppy, tilting her head sideways. She knew that he can't resist that look. Spike let out a sigh and smiled to her, nodding once.
''Sure thing, its not like anyone else is going to help you or anything...'' He looked at mountain of all kinds of bags, big and small, and gulped. ''I'm sorry back and hands...'' whispered to himself.
''Me an' Pinkie are going to the city, to buy some supplies for-''
''APPLE PIES!!'' Yelled out party pony and finished Applejack's sentence. Moon heard her yell from far away and tilted his head little to side.
''Apple pies?'' He gave questioning look to Twilight.
''Yup! You see, whenever Applejack or Pinkie Pie, or both in that matter, comes here at castle, they Always treat absolutely everyone in castle. I still don't know how they managed to do it, but still. Its sort of like, their tradition. But believe me, you will want more and more of them.....'' Starts drooling a little and quickly wipes it off, smiling awkwardly.
''Wow, I guess i should try some of them then.'' Smiles little, continuing to walk forward, listening to his tour guide.
''And here is royal guards break room. And if you walk forward, you will be able to see down bellow training grounds.'' Pointed out Twilight, showing the way there.
Not far from them, just after more walking and couple of turns, three daughters ,of the princess of sun, were working on their new song...
''Kay! Have you seen my guitar?'' Asked the Youngest of the trio. ''And my notes?''
''Its right over there, Dusty.'' Replied back to her, pointing to closet, as she was brushing her long, wavy, Turquoise fading into White and Teal color mane.
''Girls, I'm going outside, take breath in some fresh air.'' Said youngest one.
''Okay, Aurora..!'' Shouted Dusty, being in closet and looking for her guitar.
Dusty was 18. She wanted to be musician, so all three of them helped her make a song. Her long, black mane was just right looking with her dark purple body. She also hasn't found her special talent. Aurora was 20 years old. She was Second Oldest sister of the trio. Her mane was long, darkish blue with even darker blue lines in it. Body fur color was sky blue. At that time she wore some pony music band t-shirt and black shorts. She didn't have her cutie mark yet. Kay was Third and Oldest... She was beautiful even without trying to look like it, but as well, she was strong. She had a Lot of Piercings and tattoos, She also Had a Very light Purple body,Also very tall and Slim. But something Seemed Interesting about her. Kay had...two hearts nopony knows why or how, and yet, she haven't told it to anyone, but somehow her mother knew it, but Celestia knew, Kay wanted it to be secret.
''Alright girls, I'm going to get something to eat, be back soon. Anyone of you want anything?'' Asks them, heading out to the doors, but as soon she pokes her head out, her ear twitches, hearing somepony else talking in the hall. ''Hmm, i wonder those there?..'' thought to herself and started to down the hall, hearing around the turn voice of somepony familiar and some other voice too...colt like.
"And on this side is where royal family lives.'' Extends her arm, pointing at smaller hall, with big doors from both sides, on them drawn cutie marks of ponies, of ponies who was living there. She notices the pony coming their way and smiles, waving to her. ''Kay! Long time no see!'' runs up to her and hugs. Moon comes out from corner, hearing his guide talking and then noticing her hugging someone.
''Hello Twilight, what brings you here?'' Returns the nice gesture and catches something, or somepony in that matter, with corner of her eye. ''And...who's your friend..?'' Keeps looking at yellow stallion.
''Oh him. He is the reason why i am here actually.'' Lets her go and walks back to him.''Hey Moon, meet Kay, she is daughter of Celestia and good friend of mine.'' Says to him, smiling widely and looking at her buddy.
At that moment when Moon saw her, he felt something very strange...he never felt like that. Was he taken over some spell or mind control? No...it couldn't. He was trained for this kind of things, because well, his teacher WAS dragon who could control others with a thought. Feeling he felt...he was falling in love, something he gave his oath to never ever to do. It was like massive force taking over him, there was no way of resting for it.
"I-is there Something Wrong?" Kay Blushes then she tilts her head, and Smiles at him, Whilst resting her Hand on her chest.
She then smiles at twilight "So, how is spike? Is he Good? Not sick again?" She Chuckles at the thought, and Closes her wings.
Twilight nods "Spike is fine, I Told him not to eat too many Rubies though.. I think he'll be fine."
''Uh, Twilight...i...i'll be good from here. You can go hang out with your friends...'' he said in such hurry, looking for nearest window and spreading out his wings, falling down and starting to flap them hard, shooting straight up to the air, somewhere above the castle. He looks around and lands down on the highest roof, looking around all the city, thinking to himself...''What kind of feeling it was, was it...love? Did i fallen in love? No...i can't, i gave oath it wont happen...I'm sorry Saphira...first days and i already made mistake...oh well, i guess i'll have too see where my new life will take me.'' He sits down, looking at sun slowly coming closer to horizontal, his ear twitches and Moon turn his head other way, to nearby tower. Noticing coming out pony he met earlier. ''Celestia?''
The goddess was walking spiral staircase up the tower, thinking about today's events. Coming out from tower to little room into balcony and letting out a sigh, then hearing out her new friend's voice. ''Moon Shield?'' Her horn ignites in brilliant golden color, sun starting to set down slowly. ''Do you mind if i join you?'' Looks at him, having that warm smile he saw for first time. He chuckles and nods. ''Sure, its not like i have nothing better to do. But are you sure you want to? Its pretty dusty up here, i thought princesses does not like to get dirty.'' She flaps her wings and gracefully lifts up to the air, landing down next to him, sitting down and watching with him lowering sun. ''Little dust will not hurt me, or do anything else. Besides, i do not always see ponies up here. Tell me, how did the tour around castle have gone?'' Looks at him, having neutral face expression. ''It was...OK. Twilight sure can do talk a lot, about the castle and her friends...and other things too...and the history...i almost kept up with her, processing all the information she told me.'' Sighs, looking down. Celestia lets out giggle, putting her hand to her mouth. ''That is the Twilight i know. When she starts talking about something, she does not stop. She does read a lot of books, which i guess you noticed already, and that she is owner of a local library at Ponyville.''
''Ah yes, i did noticed that. And some other things too...'' whispers out last part.
''What was that?'' Celestia looks at him curiously, having little grin on her face.
''N-nothing princess!'' quickly replies back, blushing little.
''Please, call me Celestia.''
''And you can call me Moon. I really don't like when someone says my full name constantly.'' Sighs, looking at the almost hidden sun.
''Trust me Moon, i know how you feel about it. And okay, i will call you just by name then.'' Nods to him, with little smile. ''My sister should come up here soon and it is almost time for dinner.''
Just when she told it, in a brilliant flash of midnight blue, the midnight princess showed up at the tower balcony, where Celestia was standing first. ''Speaking of the devil.'' Grins, looking at her sister. Luna ignites her horn, slowly raising up the moon. And Moon was looking at the raising moon, of course sun goddess noticed it and smiled. ''Moon is looking at moon...how adorable.'' giggles.
''Seventy eight...'' says in sighing tone.
''Huh, Tia? What are you doing here?'' Looks confused at her sister.
''Oh just talking to two my good friends. You and Moon.''
''Moon the moon?'' Luna giggles.
''No. Moon the dracony.'' after she says it, Moon moves back and looks at the second princess and waves to her. ''Hi there.'' Now Luna looks even more confused. ''Moon...dra-cony?'' Tilts her head sideways. Celestia giggles and stands up. ''How about we deal with all confusion at dinner table? All must be waiting down there now. I will explain everything in due time.'' Both ponies nodded and hopped on the balcony. Walking down stairs and through the long hall, night light shining through the windows on hall's floor. After they got there, all his friends he made at Ponyville, three daughters, and few other ponies were sitting, at the table, eating their foods.
A Loud Voice echo's Through the Hallways of the castle "AUUUNT!?" a Faint Female voice Yells, Followed by Groans and Wings flapping. " MOOOOOM?!"
"Huh, who was there?" Moon looks at closed doors, leading outside to hallway.
"Excuse me for a moment." Celestia smiles to everyone and stands up, walking towards the voices. Moon finishes his meal as well and stands up, starting to walk outside, but stopping when he opens doors. Twilight was watching him, her head resting on one arm, other placed on table, tapping finger at it, looking at him with not amused face. Moon turns back, smiling awkwardly. "Umm...Twilight?.."
"Down the hall, turn left, then again first turn to left and third doors on right." Says out in flat tone. And the place she told, was where all the other girls was staying, which didn't meant anything good. She already had little evil plan in her mind. After he is gone, she turns to her friends, smiling. ''Who first wants a go?'' And nopony expected, Fluttershy slowly and shyly raises a hand. Twilight blinks, looking at her surprised and nods. The shy one smiles more brightly and thinks about later tonight.
Moon was walking down the hall, same directions as Twilight told and stands outside his room doors...He moves his hand to the door handle and slowly turns it, opening them and stepping inside. Looking at giant fancy looking room. On left being big window with balcony outside, next to window little table with vase and rose in it. At the end of room, in middle was a giant, probably more than twp ponies could fit in, but, not too fancy bed. On right side of the room, was closet for clothes and other smaller things. Little away from it, doors leading to bathroom. Going down from ceiling was crystal chandelier. He noticed his bag on the bed and took a look in it, which was mostly clothes and few hygiene items. ''Hmm...i'll somehow need to get money...err, bits, like Twilight told." He sit down on bed and looked at night table, then pulled drawer from it. "Jackpot..." he takes out paper page and quill with ink bottle. He dips quill into the ink and starts writing on paper in middle of top. ''To do list.'' Says as he writes and continues writing on it. After about thirty minutes he puts down the paper and other things back in place, takes off clothes and lays down to bed, being only in his black boxers, thinking...''Such strange day...who was that girl...?'' He places hand on his chest. ''My heart is beating harder and faster...well, i guess i will see what tomorrow will bring me next...but now, the last important thing.'' He closes his eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.
Meanwhile at other side of castle...
A Female voice groans outside his door, then mumbling "Why do i have feelings for-" She was suddenly cut off "KAY!!" Dusty's Voice yelled, "What is it sis?" Kay Mumbled again. "Oh, We're just waiting for you to come to sleep!" Dusty Grinned, clapping her hands. Kay Suddenly said something in an entirely Different Language, Irish Probably? "Tá mé a leithéid de dhuine dúr .. Cén fáth a bhfuil mé ag mothú go bhfuil sin Guy !? Mhionnaigh mé le mo Máthar uaigh ní ba mhaith liom a Fall i ngrá! " (Translation: "I'm such a stupid person .. Why do I Have feelings for this guy!? I swore to my Mother's grave I would not Fall in love...." )
Dusty twitched a bit "What?" "Nothing" She mumbles again, going to her room, which was next door.
