Lullay, Darling Aurora
In Ponyville
Previous ChapterNext ChapterVespere noticed my worried and quite frankly flabbergasted look, I guess that is why he explained all he knew.
"Princess Celestia learnt about Luna taking care of you, she panicked knowing they would remove her sister from the monarchy. They were trying as hard as they could to do so anyway, adding a foal to the problem would surely be nothing but trouble. That is why she sent Luna to make sure all the weaponry and blades were good enough to send to the wars against the Bat Ponies, Griffons and Dragons. Diamond Dogs too. I believe it was a distraction. The note left was not by Luna, but Celestia." By now my bottom jaw was lying on the floor. I could not handle it any longer and charged past him, only to find myself tripping over his tail. He caught me and dragged me backwards.
"Let me go! Let me go! Mother!" I cried sorrowfully, missing the warmth of her embrace. The scent that sticks by her as she enters the chamber. She was a perfect role model, and I longed so much to hear her lullaby. My horn was enveloped with a bright, pale green colour and a small book levitated towards my open hooves.
Vespere was quiet most of the trip on the chariot, and I was too. I watched as the Castle disappeared from my view, and another came. It was small, and most ponies hurriedly trotted to their destination. "I wonder where I'll be staying." I pondered, a grey hoof touching my body.
"Over there." He pointed to a regular, old fashioned but retro cottage, and thanked the guards great fully when landing for the ride. My stomach ached with pain, I wanted to turn and run. Vespere knew that, that was why he stood behind me. "Upstairs is your room. First door to your left." I nodded quietly and climbed the seemingly endless staircase, then through the seemingly endless corridor and finally left. As I thrusted the door open, a cloud of dust drifted swiftly around. I fell onto the bed sheets, already starting to fall asleep. It had been a long day of betrayal, I wanted nothing more than some rest.
My eyes opened, and I found myself in front of Princess Celestia. "Greetings, Aurora." She growled as her lilac eyes lay prominently on me.
"You." Was all I could spit out of my mouth.
"Yes. Me." She circled around me, not speaking. It looked as if she were examining me, until she finally broke the silence, "I'm sure your wondering how I got here in your dreams." She continued circling me. "How I was able to manipulate my sister's power to bring me here."
"I am."
"It's not what i will tell you. I'm here to tell you your a foal. You still are, and you're immature. You know close to nothing of my world... But your power could be an answer to the imbalance of our harmony. Therefore, you will be staying with Vespere and a teacher. I'll send them to you in the morning. Till then, Goodnight."
"Until tomorrow, Tyrant."

I threw myself off the bed and landed on my hooves. A tear strolled down my cheek, I wanted to be with mother more than ever. I had never felt so home sick I my entire life, and I levitated a book from the shelf. I thrusted the cover off and began to read. "Once upon a time, there was a pony who was more beautiful than any that had ever been. She was a princess, and all who saw her applauded her for her assistance to the realm. She had a sister, and she had done just as much assistance as her yet never received praise. Slowly, she turned bitter and evil, and threatened to never complete the most important royal duty she had. She was banished to the-" I paused, realising this book was called 'The History Of Celestia And Luna'
A steamy odour danced around my room as Vespere pulled open the door. "I cooked breakfast. Here." He handed me an apple pie, it's crust dry and crunchy, it's filling frosting-like and creamy. I couldn't help myself, I dunked myself in.
"Thanks. It was good."
"I know. I was taught by a royal cook. His apple pies were like a piece of heaven." I gave him a small grin, but quickly wiped it away. "You know, since we are going to be together for a while, we may as well get to know each other."
"Fine." I shrugged, as long as nothing else happened. He pulled out a silver, glowing leaf. "What's that?"
"A leaf off the Honesty Branch of the Harmony Tree. You can harness its powers and split it for me and you." A sudden gravitational increase made me collapse, but no sooner did I fall did I recover.
"Okay. So, How long have you been in that chamber?"
"Five years. My turn, How long have you been in Princess Luna's service?"
"10 years, I'm not going to return because I've retired. That's why I was picked to care for you. Who is your mother?"
"My mother is a mare named Rose Galaxy." I paused, I didn't know that myself. "Are you aware that you've betrayed Princess Luna."
"No. Who is your father?"
"Vespere Galaxy. Wha..what?" He stared at me in awe, even he didn't know. "No it's Ves... Is your last name-"
"Galaxy."
