Prince Guardian Of The Element

As I left the throne room with Luna. I was blushing but I didn't want to miss this chance to talk to Luna and maybe learn a bit about her or why she has the hots for me but I didn't want to be brash or offensive. I had to play this one by ear. I need to be tactful so I started with my Cutie Mark on the back of my hands "Princess?" I asked she looked over at me. Believe it or not I could stand eye to eye with her.

"Yes" Luna replied "How can I help you Mitchell" she asked.

I continued "What is the purpose of my Cutie Mark. I really didn't earn it. It just appeared after I was just accepting her offer and was thankful. How can I help protect the Elements of Harmony I am not an Alicorn. I am not powerful at all? So how could my destiny be to protect the Elements of Harmony?" I was surprised with all the questions I bombarded Luna with. I also felt quite at ease talking with Luna it was like I was talking with an old friend I haven't seen in a long time. I certainly wasn't this at ease when I was talking to Princess Celestia.

............

Luna found Mitchell's questions strained at first but as they walked she felt more at ease with him. Luna found the first question about his Cutie Mark very foalish however she answered anyway "The purpose of your Cutie Mark is to tell everypony what your special talent is. It only appears when you learn what your good at. Or in your situation it shows you what you will be destined for. So don't worry the Elements will help you to fulfill your destiny."

Mitchell's second question Luna found amusing. She found it amusing and she replied "No you are not an Alicorn but that doesn't mean you can't fulfill your destiny it just means you have to learn a different way to fulfill your destiny. Celestia has faith in you and so do I." Mitchell looked at Luna with a mixture of shock and awe. Luna couldn't help it she laughed at his expression. "Oh I am going to enjoy trying to win your heart." Luna thought amused.

.............

After Luna answered my Cutie Mark questions. I returned my eyes to my backs of my hands with a mixture of pride and amazement where my Cutie Mark was. I saw Luna blush but she was trying to hide it so I let her believe that I didn't see her blush even though I did. When she looked at me she had her blush under control then Luna spoke " Any other questions?"

I nodded and then I asked "How do I learn to speak Equish Princess Celestia requested it and I don't want to disappoint her or you for that matter." I said seriously.

Luna was taken aback by this question not because it was a difficult question. In fact it was quite simple to answer what surprised her was that he asked in that moment he sounded like Twilight Sparkle. "Great" she thought another pony concerned about passing and failing and disappointing others. " This is going to be harder then I thought" She thought to herself. Thankfully that was not the case.

Luna recovered from her shock and proceeded to say "I will gladly teach thee how ho speak Equish it is quite easy to learn once you get the hang of it. On one condition you have to promise me that you won't obsess about it if you don't get the language right away. Deal?" She held out her left forehoof to him and he took my hoof and shook it.

He then said "Deal, Princess Luna" and continued to shake her hoof.

As we shook hands and hooves I got a warm sensation run up my flank and down my spine which ended in my hoof he was shaking with his hand. His hand felt like it was perfectly shaped to hold her hoof. He was so gentle her heart skipped a beat. Luna looked at Mitchell and noticed that he was blushing. Luna knew Mitchell felt the same warm sensation run down his hand and through his body and was probably thinking the same thing she was thinking.

After we stopped shaking hands and hooves Luna regretted having to let go of his hand. She smiled and spoke all buisiness on him and laughed at Mitchell's surprise "Our language is not so different from yours but we do say certain words different and we swear different. First lesson what do you say to a group of ponies when you greet them?"

Mitchell responded quickly " I would say Hello everyone pleased to meet you"

Luna then stopped Mitchell "No Mitchell you say 'Hello everypony' now repeat it and memorize it"

Mitchell nodded and responded "Oh, Ok, Hello Everypony"

Luna smiled and said "Okay let's move on...." After four hours of teaching Mitchell the Equish lexicon. He learned enough of our language that he can pass off as an equestrian citizen. Mitchell learned from Luna how to swear in Equish. Mitchell thought that this will com it handy later on in his new life here. He learned some other words in Equish best left in the bedroom or used only when talking to very close friends and family

Such as the word for "sexual intercourse" is "Rut". Luna and Mitchell both felt dirty just thinking of the word. It was very uncomfortable for all considered. Although Luna felt uncomfortable about teaching him that word she was dropping hints that she was interested in him as a potential mate. Mitchell picked up on it but pretended to ignore her advances. Luna pouted. Mitchell was still uncomfortable to even think about "rutting" the Princess of the night Luna. But for some reason he didn't couldn't fully remember why. He still held reservations about pursuing a relationship with an Alicorn Princess who was clearly telling him she was totally into dating him and clearly wanting to "rut" him. Mitchell thought "I am way over my head here." But for some reason he wanted to try to date her. Just not right now he was not ready to pursue a relationship with the black maned blue Alicorn. But he senses that he will in the future if his feelings are indication of that.

...............................................................

Luna saw that it was time to raise the moon. But she didn't want to leave Mitchell's side to do her duty. They were having a wonderful time together just talking and Luna learned that Mitchell was no Twilight Sparkle. The only thing he shared with her was his lust for learning. Luna saw that her earlier assumption of him having a personality about being obsessive was wrong if anything he was very versatile in personality it was as if he was the embodiment of all of the elements of Harmony all except magic. Just in the past 4 hours. She learned that he loved to laugh. He was always honest. When Luna "tripped" he kindly helped her up. When he fed his pets he gave them a generous amount of food from his own plate at dinner in the great hall with her sister and herself. while they ate dinner Mitchell was showing and telling Celestia all that he learned from Luna. Even the stuff Luna didn't want him to share with her sister. All Celestia did was smile in Luna's direction. Luna laughed sheepishly. Plus he already showed loyalty when he swore himself to their service when he could have told them to "buck off" and run away. Luna was proud of him and realizing that this pride sparked more of her crush feelings for him. After dinner Celestia asked Luna to go and raise the moon for the night to come. Luna found out she didn't want to leave Mitchell here on the ground while she went and did her royal duty. Celestia sensed Luna's demeanor and nodded approvingly. Luna nearly jumped for joy but managed to contain herself. She turned to Mitchell and asked him "Mitchell would you like to fly with me to raise the moon. It'd be nice to have a guest to show how I control the moon and stars."

It took Mitchell a second for what Luna said to sink in. He spit out his fruit juice that he was drinking from supper. Mitchell chokingly spoke "You want me to fly with you so you can show me how you raise the moon? The last time I checked I CAN'T FLY" Mitchell said then he spoke again calmer this time but still frightened by the prospect of flying "I am afraid of heights" Luna looked at him then to her sister then Mitchell again. Luna spoke pleadingly "Please I promise I won't drop you and I really think you will love flying. I am very careful. Please!" She said again.

Mitchell sighed in defeat " Fiiiiine if it means so much to you i'll go flying with you" he climbed on Luna's back and gasped.

.....................................................
Mitchell's P.O.V.

I climbed on Luna's back and gasped. Once I climbed on Luna's back I felt like I belonged on her back I felt safe and secure tucked in just under her wing joint. It was as if I knew how to position myself on her back so I wouldn't hinder her flying. Hurray for Equestrian Magic I think my prolonged stay here was starting to affect my perception and how my thoughts were being manipulated. At least that is what I thought. I also noticed that I seemed to fit perfectly on her back as if her body was designed for me to be able to ride her (not like that). Again I simply believed it was just that this universe helping me to adapt to it. Before I could think more on how this universe would help me adapt Celestia spoke to me and snapped me out of my thoughts "Mitchell, why are you afraid of heights?"

The question caught me by surprise I was about to answer when I stopped and started to think. "Why was I afraid of heights" I kept thinking. But the more I tried to remember why the more my head began to hurt. I knew at one time. Why can't I recall why I fear heights. After about 10 minutes and a splitting headache I slowly answered "I don't remember Princess Celestia. I truly don't I feel I knew at one time but for the life of me I cannot recall. The more I try to remember my head starts to hurt. Almost like my own mind was drawing blanks about my past and why I fear heights. I'm sorry Princess."

Princess Celestia regarded me for a few minutes then she smiled and said "Never mind that I asked you. But you can trust Luna she won't drop you. Now go on you two go have fun. But before you do...." Celestia approached Luna and whispered something in her ear. I didn't care but Luna seemed to. Because after Celestia had finished whispering in Luna's ear I saw Luna blink for a second then nodded as if she was agreeing to something. I didn't pry if I was meant to hear it Celestia would have spoke aloud and not whispered in her sister's ear. With that Luna took off into the air. I was a little started at first but only at first after the initial takeoff. In that moment of shock I grabbed Luna's neck careful not to choke her but firmly enough so I wouldn't fall. I swear I heard Luna nicker not out of surprise rather out of contentment.

Amazing I never felt so free and light as a feather. All my cares and worries seemed to melt away. It was then that I envied Pegasi and Alicorns alike and wished I could fly like them. I sighed in blissful peace.

..............................................
Luna's P.O.V

It was amazing that despite Mitchell's weight and size he was relatively light for a human with his appetite. He must have the motabolism relatively the same as Pinkie Pie. Man that girl can eat. Anyway the feeling I got with him on my back it felt like he was always meant to always be on my back. He was surprisingly gentle with me. As if he knew how to position himself on my back without blocking my wings and when he grabbed my neck upon takeoff he knew how to grab my neck and not choke me. I admit I nickered but out of contentment not fear or shock or surprise. This further stoked the flames of my passion for this human, neigh, Mitchell. I now know without a doubt I want Mitchell to become my coltfriend and eventual mate. I know i said "coltfriend" that is because I understand why after he swore loyalty to us that Celestia thought of him as just another species of pony like the rest of our subjects. I saw him as a different form of coltfriend. I wanted him soooo badly but he is still unsure about what he feels about me. I am going to have to wait or try to. I smile mysteriously. After we took-off and flew around. I was right he enjoyed flying. At that moment I knew right then at every free opportunity that I had I wanted to take him flying on my back and my back alone. I was surprised by my own thoughts there. I have already made it clear that he was mine and mine alone. I want him and nopony else can have him unless we came to a compromise that is. But then something occurred to me just as I was raising the moon and placing the stars in their places and then just flew around a bit with him. Something Celestia whispered in my ear before we took off.

Celestia said to me "Once you're done with your duties and subsequent date I want you to come to my private chamber we need to have a serious talk about your 'coltfriend'. No need to worry. I think you will like what we will talk about involving him. But come alone after he has fallen asleep. I know you will want to stay by his side until he has drifted into sleep. Before you ask yes he can share your bed with you if you so choose" I started but nodded and we took off. I was jarred back to my senses when I heard him sigh forlornly. I think he envies that I can fly but he can't. But as much as he envied me he was also quite content to just ride on my back. My heart skipped a beat.

Then he spoke "This is awesome. I always wanted to fly but was afraid to. Now thanks to you Luna I can enjoy flying. Sadly I am getting quite tired. Can you show me where I will be sleeping. Princess Celestia said I had a bed ready for me for when I got tired." At that 2 thoughts jumped into my head at once. First and most exciting was he didn't call me "Princess Luna" just "Luna". My heart skipped another beat. Secondly what her sister had told her about him sharing her bed with him if she so choose to. Well I smiled I DO so choose to have him sleep with me.

.................................................
Celestia's P.O.V

As I watched Luna and Mitchell fly off to do Luna's royal duties and have a flying date I smiled. I have not seen Luna so happy since she was saved from being Nightmare Moon. I called one of my servants to my side. A male servant came running in and bowed to me and asked "You wish to see me your majesty."

I spoke to him "Ah, Busybody thank you for coming so quickly. Is Mitchell's bedroom ready?" Busybody nodded. Smiling Celestia continued "I think you can close it down. I don't think Mitchell will be using the bedroom after all"

Busybody shook his head in disbelief and spoke "Is the young master not staying in the castle with us anymore?"

I laughed "Yes he will be staying with us in the castle. I believe Luna has other plans for where he will be sleeping tonight."

Busybody shook his head not understanding. But then it hit him "Ooooh, I see well I will make sure he will get his wake-up call there instead." Busybody just realized that Mitchell was going to sleep with Luna in her bed and he chuckled.

Then he saw that I was smiling and I spoke again "I don't think the wake-up call will be necessary either. I am sure my sister is going to have all of that taken care of. Just be ready to bring them breakfast when they wake up Okay Busybody.'

Busybody bowed and replied "Yes, Princess." With that he left my study chamber.

I looked up to see Luna and Mitchell start to descend towards Luna's tower bedroom. I sighed "Good night Prince Mitchell of the Night. You don't know how happy you are making my sister feel. Keep it up. I know you two will make a great royal couple someday. I look forward to the day you propose marriage to my sister." With that I re-entered my private chamber from my balcony. I look into my reflection in my vanity mirror and spoke to my reflection "The first part of the prophesy has been fulfilled. The Prince of the night from the alternate world has arrived. He met his bride to be. He has no memory of his past life. His vessel has been opened even though he doesn't know it yet. He has began to fill with magical energy. He is ready to learn. Did I do good, Faust?"

A disembodied female voice spoke from Celestia's mirror answered "You did well my child in time I will be able to inhabit his body in time then his real destiny will begin to be fulfilled. Right now let him adapt to his new life and his eventual release of his untapped magical power. Remember my child he is not only the princess of the nights mate but the bearers of the elements of harmony's mates too. If we wish everlasting peace we need him ready. Also tell nopony else this my child he is also the bearer of the seventh Element "Sacrifice" it has yet to awaken in him. Be warned when he does awaken I already need to possess him or he will die regardless of what you have to do when his magical power awakens."

With that Celestia whispers to her reflection "Yes my goddess. I hope he will fulfill his destiny. Unlike the one that came before him. HE was seduced into working with Nightmare Moon with an empty promise to be returned to Earth. I pray Mitchell doesn't turn into HIM."

The disembodied voice assured me "Mitchell is not like HIM. Mitchell is of a pure heart and mind. Mitchell will not become like HIM. I have foreseen it. Now I must go. Watch Mitchell closely my child. Also be sure your sister is made aware of his destiny. His true destiny." with that the voice was gone.

I smiled reassured I made the right choice. With that I sat down on my favorite chair and waited for Luna's arrival. I return to smiling and thought to myself "I promise you sister. What I have to say is both amazing and life changing." The spell was complete Mitchell is now ready to take the first steps towards his greatest destiny. Not only will he become the Prince of the Night, Guardian of the Elements, and eventual vessel for our goddess Faust. But that is only the first steps. He will become our greatest ally and our Hero. Sadly he doesn't know. But for now he needn't worry about the future he needs to focus on the here and now. Let's take this one day at a time. I smile at that last thought and continue to wait for my sister to show up.
