What They Say
2- The city within the moon's crater
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"There must be many of them!" I began running around clueless to where to search.
"Why are you so eager to find them, Princess?" A star said. "Search in the moon's largest crater to find the spirits."
I used my wings to fly to the south of the moon, I knew it would be there, I always studied the moon when I couldn't get to it. Now I'm on it, I don't want to be. The crater was big enough to fit half a mountain range. I circled the crater wall before I landed near the edge. Sure, Search the crater for the spirits, That will be so easy. I thought to myself sarcastically. I trotted around the rim of the crater wall, it was until I stepped on a large rock, flat on the ground, it fell in, like a button on the floor of the castle used for intruders. In a split second I fell through the moon's surface. I didn't fall for long, I knew that when I hit the ground with a 'thud' I opened my eyes to find myself in a cave, There was no way to go back the way I got in, only to go forward, so I did.
The cave grew brighter as I walked further in. I walked right into the light, it was an underground city of spirits, these were spirits of animals who were mostly nocturnal. I walked into the city, hoping I wouldn't draw attention. All was well until a red fox spirit spotted me and shouted, "The Princess Of the Night, She is here!" and instantly bowed down, all the other spirits bowed down as well.
"How do you know who we are?" I said in the royal Canterlot voice.
"You are our princess, You guard the night as well as our physical forms." A nearby hedgehog said. I was stunned at how they loved me, They call me Their Princess, I would've much preferred If i was worshiped this much back in Equestria, I forgot about how some animals sleep through the day.
"Please, Make your way to the Heart of the city, Where your throne sits empty waiting for you." A cat spirit said. I followed her to the heart of the city, where all the spirits who heard about my arrival gathered to see me. The throne was a sleek dark blue decorated with stars and two wings sprouted from each side. The moon, my cutie mark, was imprinted on the backrest of the throne.
I held my head up high and walked to the throne, when I sat in it, all the spirits bowed down.
"Bow down for the princess has arrived!" Many of the spirits proclaimed my existence. I felt my form fade, I was no longer nightmare moon, I was princess Luna once again.
