Moons. Celestial bodies. Natural satellites. The objects that orbit around planets. There could be any number of moons around a world. But on this world, there’s only one. And one it has always been for as long as they can remember. One is as much as the world needs.
It was a dark early winter morning. Around 3am. The Moon Was still up. All the Diurnal creatures would still be asleep. Or would they? Nearby, a figure stood on a small hill glancing upon the moon. It wore a Navy blue coat and short length hair; A Filly Pony of the Pegasus species.
Sometimes, I want to hear all the things you relate to. The Filly thought as she looked at her surroundings. Snow and more snow. The sound of Owls, Bats. The winter wind. Anything. But, I can’t. I don’t know why.
I read that you always get at least one wish in your life. One wish that can do more than magic can. *She said looking back up at the Moon. The moon shined brighter during Winter than any other day. For Winter was it’s realm. *I know you probably can’t read my thoughts. I can’t exactly talk. I’ve never heard anypony else talk so i couldn’t possibly know how to talk. The only thing i know is the sound of my own voice. I don’t know if it sounds nice, or bad for there’s nothing to compare it to. But, if you can give me one wish, I would like to listen.**
She waited for a while before receiving no reply. She gave off a sigh as a figure approached her from behind. Feeling the sudden movement, she turned to see a yellow figure approaching her. Her Mother FlutterShy.
***~Ipomoea? What are you doing? You shouldn’t be up now.~* Her mother Signed as she approached ipomoea. Upon learning of her Daughters lack of Hearing, She learnt Sign Language from her friend Twilight Sparkle. There would be only two methods of communication.**
*~Paying Respect to some of my friends.~*
*~It’s not healthy for you to be up this early. Or for any Diurnal creature.~*
***~Perhaps, I am not Diurnal, but Nocturnal.~* She replied pointing out the fact that she doesn’t look tired at all.**
*~I don’t think you are Nocturnal. The only Species of Pony that are Nocturnal are the Bat ponies. Which are really rare to begin with. Do you look like one?~*
*~Well, maybe i am meant to be one.~*
*~I know a lot about this Family, and nopony has ever been a Bat pony ever.~*
***~Mother, I want to know which ancestor i would’ve been related to the most.* Ipomoea asked as Fluttershy begged her to sit down.**
***~Ipomoea, do you know about your ancestor, Snowdrop?~* Her Mother asked as Ipomoea sat down beside her.**
*~I Don’t know anything about our family History. Even if you have told me, I don’t remember.~*
*~Snowdrop is one of your great ancestors. She lived about 1000 years before now. That marks her about 10 spots down the line. Before she was born, this family was just a run of the mill family living in Cloudsdale.~*
*~But what made her so special? And why are you saying i’m related to her the most?~*
*~Snowdrop wasn’t the most perfect pony ever. Where most ponies were born perfectly healthy, No missing functions, Snowdrop was not. Snowdrop was born without Eyesight. She was born without one of her senses, just like you. In school, no one really liked her because they all thought she was helpless. Not being able to see anything.*
