What They Say
3 - Cunning and clever spirits
Previous ChapterNext ChapterYears passed by as I resided in the moon, I became fond of the spirits and they never stopped ceasing to amaze me. The spirit's bodies were made mostly of stardust. they shined like stars and moved like water. Day by day, I would venture out, meet more and more spirits, I enjoyed talking to them, listening to the stories of their animal counterparts on Equestria. What came strangely one day, was a Wolf spirit.
He was cunning and clever. I first met him when he decided to leap right over my head. I was dumbfounded when he did that, I didn't realize till he looked back at me, grin on his face, my tiara in between his teeth, fresh from my head. I cleared my throat before I used my royal Canterlot voice, "Give that back!!" That only made him yip with excitement and run off yelling, "Catch me first, MoonButt!"
I immediately took to the skies to catch him, trying not to go too high to hit the ceiling of the city, just enough for the tip of my mane to brush against it. I spotted the grey figure, crashing through crowds within the city, I swooped down to make myself known. Using my magic, I wrapped a levitation spell around my tiara. I tried to pull it out of his jaws, however he kept running and I kept losing my concentration. He finally reached the city entrance and fled to the moon's surface. I promptly followed.
I found him leaping and prancing while wearing my tiara, I thanked my owl-like wings for my silent flight and swooped over him, landing so that my weight on his back would pin him down, sadly, it didn't. I landed in a puff of stardust, my tiara inches from my feet. I turn my head to look around for this spirit, There was no sight of him, just my tiara on the ground. I picked it up using my magic, brushed it off with my wing and placed it back on my head. I looked back at the distant planet, Celestia was there, probably.
I returned to the center of the city, On my throne, I noticed a familiar figure sitting on it, The wolf spirit. I approached him and he stood his ground.
"Name's Edon." He said.
"French for wolf, Clever." I replied, "Well, Edon, mind telling me why you took my tiara and now currently sitting on my throne?"
"Yep."
"Yep?"
"I do mind, and therefore I wont say."
"Well then can you get off my throne?"
"Its a chair, honey."
I bit back my tongue, I kept myself graceful, I simply used my magic to levitate him off the throne so that I could sit on it.
"Well, Moonbutt, Have fun sitting in a chair, you lack it." He said when I dropped him. He walked away, for good. Or so I thought.
Edon always came back with a trick up his paws, at first, I was annoyed every time, but after a while, his tricks turned more intimate.

I walked into what I formally call my home, it was dark, Without the aid of soft candlelight, i saw nothing. I used my magic to conjure a light spell, What I saw stopped my heart, then made it go faster.
Roses.
Dozens of them. Red roses. scattered all over my home. blood flushed through my cheeks, I almost cried when his voice reached me.
"happy hearts and hooves day....Moonbutt.."
