A Thousand Years Later...

A Thousand Years Later...

I entered the room to find Twilight reading a book. I did not see and was, frankly, unaware that under her unfolded wing, a filly sat, fascinated.

"And Snow White nibbled on the apple and began to feel rather faint. A few minutes later, she had collapsed onto the floor and- are you... Shivering, Dear?"

"It's just... So violent. Why would the evil pony poison the apple?"

"Greed drives ponies to do bad deeds. Oh, greetings, Luna! Come to meet your granddaughter and grandson, I presume?"

"Yes, Twilight, I have indeed." She lifted her wing, smiling, and as she did so, she unveiled a tiny, heather coloured filly. She had blue eyes and a purple mane.

"Dusk is out teaching our little colt to fly, but she already knows."

"You haven't mentioned her name." I beamed.

"Meet Dawn. Outside is Vespere."

"What does Vespere mean?"

"It's a long lost language named Latin, it means Evening."

"You really like the times of the night and day, don't you?"

"It's a family thing. Let me see where Dusk is, maybe I can show you Vespere. Coming, Dawn?"

"No thanks, I would like to finish this story."

"But we read it twice."

"It's interesting."

"Suit yourself."

"It's strange, is he a Pegasus?"

"Not really. He has bat like wings and is super fast when he runs, like an alicorn. Dawn has a horn, but her magic is as powerful as an alicorn. She was able to lift Celestia up with a single spell last time she came to visit... She wasn't too happy. Heh."

"You can do it! Just leap off! Then flap your wings!"

"I am! It's no use! I'll fall!"

"I'll catch you!"

"Uh, Dusk, I'm not sure that's how you-"

"I can... I am... I'm flying mum! Look, mother look!"

"I'm looking. This is Vespere." I stared at the strange coat. He had a dark blue coat and light black hair. He did have bat like wings. Strangely, he could fly fast, as fast as an alicorn.

"Wait for me!" A voice called out from behind me. It was Dawn. She ignited her horn with enormous power that flooded through the atmosphere, and she lifted herself up with her levitation spell.

"I can't fly as fast as you!" She laughed with her brother.

"Your not flying, your hovering!"

"Same thing!"

"Is not!"

"Same thing!"

"Is not! Hey, who's that pretty pony down below? INCOMING!" He threw himself down beside me. "Good day!"

"Your Grand Mother, Princess Luna."

"Good Day, Grandma! I'm actually a prince myself on both sides. Prince Vespere The First!"

"Prince of everything unprincely!" Dawn laughed.

Dusk turned to hear a voice calling him. Three voices. Three young mares.

"You owe us a crusade, remember?" Scootaloo called.

"But you have your cutiemarks?"

"Do they look ROYAL to you?" They joked.

"Well, why don't you take Dawn and Vespere? They haven't got their cutiemarks."

"What a great idea! Come on, My little ponies! Let's go an adventure. WE HAVE NO CLUE CRUSADERS, YAY!" They shouted joyously, Dawn and Vespere galloping after them.

The End.
