The Legend of Equestria: A Fight Against Evil
A Celebration
Previous ChapterLuna's P.O.V
That night, all the ponies are partying outside. The crowd cheers as they watch Zelda and Link pass by. Link then comes to the table to sit with me, and Zelda sits with the other mares at a different table. "The night is so beautiful," Link said.
"Of course it is. What do you like more, the day or the night?" I asked.
"I'm slightly gravitating towards the night. You look so beautiful in the moonlight, by the way."
"Thanks. The party is a bit wild, if you ask me- but I don't mind the fact that the ponies party and dance under the beautiful night sky, with the stars dotted across the sky and the moon shining brightly in the sky."
"Sometimes when you cast magic, you seem to shine like the moon."
"That's true. Nopony saw my moonlit glory long ago because they once hated the night. Now, some ponies are beginning to love my night."
"I wonder why you refer to the night as your night."
"That's because I'm the Princess of the Night, silly!"
Link chuckles as I use my magic to tickle him. He's being silly again. "Same as how Celestia is the Princess of the Day, and how Midna is the Princess of the Twilight Realm, and how Princess Twilight is the Princess of Friendship. There's also Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire and Princess Hilda of Lorule," I said.
"So...... Many...... Princesses that save the day," Link replied, "Except for Hilda, though. She was once desperate to save Lorule, so she used Yuga to get the Triforce of Wisdom."
"When did that happen?"
"It was like, two years ago."
"And did Midna do anything once when Hyrule was in danger?"
"She once tried to use me because Zant was trying to shroud the kingdom into twilight. Then, her attitude changed for the better as she helped me to fight a few enemies, and then she defeated Zant for the first time. Sometimes she has a bit of anger issues. You remind me of her sometimes."
I nod as I look around. Pinkie Pie eats a cake in one bite, and Rainbow Dash is pranking some of the ponies. Fluttershy is just sitting and talking with Twilight Sparkle and Rarity. Apple Jack is speaking with Apple Bloom about what has happened. Zelda, Hilda, Lana, and Midna are dancing to the music, while Impa is just sitting down. Celestia is speaking with Cadence and Shining Armor.
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo approach me, and then they sit down. "Princess Luna, you must have saved the land from the evils," Sweetie Belle said, "Is that right?"
I smile for a moment. "I'm not the only one that did it. Celestia, Twilight Sparkle, and the other ponies that I know have helped me to save the land. I must admit, we all were a bit scared, but we try to be brave when we try to fight the villains and the monsters. Link, Zelda, Lana, Midna, Hilda, and Impa are just visiting because they want to help us. Link and I are getting into a relationship. He accepts me for who I am," I told them.
"Aww, how sweet of Link! Where is he?"
"Right here, next to me."
"That's Link?" Scootaloo said, "I've heard some unusual names that might have originated from the dawn of time. The names sound otherworldly sometimes."
"That's not the right word, Scootaloo! The right word is foreign," Sweetie Belle told her.
"Sheesh, I was right! No need to correct me. Smarty-pants......"
"No name-calling here, please," I said, "That's not very nice. Accept each other's differences, okay?"
"Sorry if we went a bit off topic. What other personality characteristics does Link have?" Scootaloo asked.
"He has a charming side, and most of the time, he's a bit quiet. He can be protective of me sometimes," I replied.
"It's like the play about a knight and his princess, in a way," Sweetie Belle said, "I can see the romance!"
Link and I chuckle in response. I think every filly wants to have a knight that could sweep them off their hooves in such a romantic fashion. "It's not a stereotypical romance, though. I save Link a few times, just like how he saves me a few times," I said.
"Princess Luna, I want to ask you something.... Have you gone into Apple Bloom's dreams yet?" Scootaloo asked, "And how do you fly with ease?"
"I don't think I've gone into Apple Bloom's dream, but I have gone into Sweetie Belle's dream and your dream. And I didn't always fly with ease. When I was very young, I wasn't good at flying, but I kept trying, until one night, I decide to fly through the night sky. I spread out my wings, and then I flap them as I float into the air. I told my sister about what happened that morning, and she was a bit happy for me."
"So, do I have to keep trying?"
"Of course." I smile with honesty.
"Thanks for your advice! I'm sure I'll be like Rainbow Dash someday!"
Scootaloo walks off, and Sweetie Belle seems willing to speak some more. "A singing competition is coming up this week, and I've just chosen the best song that is from a movie. I discover that it slowly speeds up. The competition is called 'Best Young Singer Competition,' and the fillies and colts about my age are auditioning. But, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon has chosen a song that is probably more famous. I'm worried about that- what if I lose?" Sweetie Belle said.
"Best Young Singer? You mean, that annual competition for fillies and colts? I know you're concerned about the competition, but you have to try your best to win. So, which song has you chosen from that movie? And what song might have Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon chose?" I replied.
"I'm not telling you about what I may sing. It's a surprise. By the way, those bullies have chosen a pop song with multiple bad words in it."
"They decide to choose bad words? I'm shocked- the bad words can be quite obscene, and they shouldn't be cussing."
"I know, right? And I'll try my best, Princess Luna. By the way, the competition will be held at the Ponyville Theatre."
"It's getting late. I think you need to get some rest tonight."
"You're right. I'm going home now. Good night, Princess Luna."
"You can just call me Luna. We don't need to be so formal, because it's not like the Royal Ball."
She giggles as she walks off. A few minutes later, the party ends, and everypony seems about ready to go home. "Link, we can see each other anytime. I'm not going to close off the links between the two kingdoms," I said to Link.
"Okay, Luna. Good-night, my love," He replied as we kiss for a moment.
Lana, Hilda, Midna, and Zelda seem to watch us. "I think that means that we'll visit our Equestrian friends anytime," Zelda said as she turns her attention to her friends, "Right?"
"Right," Lana said, "And Princess Luna has found the friend in me, just as I found the friend in her. I think we will have a close friendship."
"If that means visiting Equestria any time I want to speak with a friend, that's fine with me," Midna said, "But I have work to do in the Twilight Realm."
"I feel like I could relate to Luna because of her dark past. I hope I can see her in a dream," Hilda said.
Celestia approaches us, and then she smiles. "The power of friendship stays strong, keeping the connection between this land and yours intact, Zelda. You do have a lot of determination in your heart- and you seem like a true ruler and leader. A true princess leads and inspires her ponies," She said.
"That's true, but I forget that sometimes. I am more like a warrior on the battlefield than I am when I was just sitting on my throne," Zelda replied, "If one ruler is the shield, then the other is the sword."
"Of course. I defend my kingdom, while you fight for your kingdom with the help of your friends."
Link and I kiss once again before Zelda and her friends start to leave. Link walks off with them, and I smile. Celestia and I fly to Canterlot Castle, and the castle needs a bit of repair. The city also needs repair. "I will watch the night, Celestia. Good night, sister," I said.
"Good night, Luna," She replied as she hugs me, "Also, I found out that you and Link are getting into a relationship. I'm not sure how you would handle his death someday, because a mortal doesn't live as long as an immortal does. Anyways, it doesn't matter who you choose to love."
"You're right, Celestia."
As she walks off to bed, I sit on the throne, getting ready to finish my nightly duties. The moonlight shines through the windows, lighting up the throne room a bit. The moon shines brighter than usual, signaling victory over the dark side. The stars are twinkling cheerfully, like my happiness after the defeat of Nightmare Moon. She is forever gone, locked away in the complete shadowy darkness.
And the Nightmare that once controlled me, can't get to me at all!
