Nobles scatter as princess Luna gallops past them, a excited smile on her face as she heads straight for the secret passageway to the canterlot caverns, a wall with the sun and moon embalised on it. Today she is going to introduce celestia to her new friend, she had named him talon due to the huge claws at the end of his hands, she hopes they will get along. After all, when she first met him, he was badly hurt and starving. He had attacked her on sight during the night when she was exploring the changes that had occurred during her banishment...
Luna looked up at her night sky as she trotted through manehatten, the streets dark and menacing in the outskirts of the city she is currently trotting through. She is caught off guard when the sound of many bins being tossed against the wall in an alley she had just past. Turning back on herself, Luna silently trotted up to the alley and peeked her head round the corner. At first what she saw horrified her, a large dark brown almost black, wingless, dragon creature stood their on its hind legs, head in the air and claws twitching. 5 claws per limb, each claw long enough to cut through a pony easily, on its head, 2 long horns curved forward about a foot in front of the creatures head. Its eyes bright, almost glowing white, turned with its head to stare at Luna. The creature rushes forward at an incredible pace, forcing Luna to duck round out of sight. Slowly, the creature rounded the corner, and revealed its body covered in blood, seeping out of many holes in its hide. This caught Luna off guard as the creatures tail which she hadn't gotten a view of before knocked her backwards. It draws it arms back and lunges forward, only to collapse to the ground in front of Luna, too weak from its injuries to stand back up. After this, Luna healed the deathclaw and had brought it to the canterlot caverns to recover. after this, the legendary deathclaw respected Luna and refused to attack her no matter how hungry he became. after some research in books, Luna found out that this creature was most likely a carnivore due to its teeth and jaw structure. She quickly and stealthily fed him meet from a past negotiation meeting with the griffon empire. This ended up causing this creature to become very protective and loyal to Luna.
Celestia is awaiting Luna when she arrives and apologizes quickly to her sister before proceeding to open the secret door. With a grinding sound, the wall swings open to reveal a long, dimly lit, tunnel descending into the bowels of the mountain. A distant sound of heavy feet and claws pounding against a stone floor echoes up to the sisters as Luna turns and faces her sister.
"sister, remember not to panic when thou see him, he may be a scary sight but he wishes only to protect me." Luna says to her.
Before Celestia can even rely a tall brown dragon like creature speeds out of the darkness and, gets hit by a spell of Celestia`s as it gets within 2 meters of Luna, ending up 10 meters away and out of sight, shrouded by darkness. A grunt sound echoes off the walls, making it impossible to tell where the deathclaw is.
"TIA! Thou promised that thou wouldst not hurt Talon when you saw him!" Luna yells, now standing in her sisters way, blocking her view of the cave and Talon.
Celestia is suddenly pinned under the very heavy mass of talon, who then turns to look at Luna, as though asking permission to kill her. Luna replies with a shake of her head, and to celestia`s surprise, Talon allows Celestia to rise onto her hooves once again.
"You disappoint me, sister. attempting to harm talon as he tries to introduce himself." Luna says while shaking her head. she trots deeper into the cave and shuts Celestia out. Parchment and quill in her magical grasp.
Dear Twilight Sparkle.
I would like to introduce you to my new friend and pet, Talon, and please, don't do as my sister just did, and try to attack him.
Your ruler of the night and good friend, Princess Luna
