My Luna Love
Act II - Chapter 4: Thoughts My Lord?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI finally was able to talk to Luna. It was long and I was asked to explain who I was deeper down. What I reacted to and why I react the ways I do. It was long, very long and the next day we were just quiet around each other. I could only guess what Luna thought about while her mouth wasn't throwing words in her beautiful voice.
One of the things we talked about was how I acted to her, and what lead me storming out of the castle without explaining myself. I am loyal, born a late Leo in mid August on the thirteenth day. A yearly meteor shower lasted three days, and I was born on the second day, while it was hitting its peak. I felt deep down I had to be loyal to the woman I was with. Treat her as my equal, and give her no reason to cry. I felt as though I was the only 'true' man in the world.
I was born at the same time a meteor managed to get through the atmosphere and hit the roof of the hospital. Months before my birth my mother spoke of a ghost who was her best friend, but he didn't act like him. He spoke my name while pointing to my mother's stomach, and said that I was born to do great things. It drove my to strive for the best, to prove that I was true to my word, true to everything I worked towards. I made A's in all of my classes, I played as a first chair violinist and my best friends who was named Octavian and Octavia were born in the UK, but disliked the area. They were practicing Wiccans like my mother so we sort of clicked.
Octavian and Octavia were twins if you couldn't guess it. I had a crush on Octavia while in middle school, but when my mother died, so did my crush. Once...hehe...Octavia hit me with her bow and just hugged me for an hour until the pain didn't sting anymore. But it was still a great time to be around my best friend. She taught me advanced musical theory and she was also learning advanced psychology. She had a girlfriend who was also into deep music, and eventually went to the same collage and got married. I think they moved to Dublin after they graduated.
Octavian was my best guy friend I could ever have. I stayed at his house a lot when my father was drunk or high off of crack. We played video games he got shipped from America. Destroy all Humans, God of War, Star Wars: Battlefront II, and a few more great playstation two games. We would also play a few PC games as we got a little older. My favorite would have to be Minecraft when LAN became a thing. I brought my laptop and plugged it in. He helped me so much, and when I moved to America he found my address and visited me a month after I finished settling in. He made me swear I would never give up, to the crown even, to make sure I would never do something stupid to myself.
Octavia called me four days before I was sent to Equestria by Luna. I remember her telling me she missed me, and I also remember her telling me of her own memories with me. As it turned out, Octavia loved me to death while I had a crush on her. She thought the things I did to get her to like me made me cute, but it is apparent I was mistaken when she told me she had always liked girls. I laughed (cried on the inside) and told her I already had a feeling. We both knew it was a lie, but didn't speak about it.
Anyways, Luna understood. I had taken loyalty to a new extreme, and it clouded my judgments. I had snapped when I was told I could no show her in the best way that I had loved her. She said it was love enough that she knew how much she meant to me. She was at the forefront of my thoughts, and in my dreams.
In speaking of dreams, I have a stronger link with magic, so it has allowed me to link my dreams to Luna. She's began teaching me of Dream Magic, and how I can use it like her. It is Saturday, a week after our talk, and it is close after dinner. I sit alone in the castle gardens, hearing the birds while I think. Mostly of my future.
With a yawn I lay forward in the grass, hooves keeping my head up as I stare out beyond towards the peaceful horizon. Out from the castle's peak, I can see to the west a kingdom in the mountains. To the east I see a peaceful sea that looks great to swim in. Far north I see snowing cliffs that boarder the allies Equestria and the Crystal Empire. Down south, I see a desert. Celestia chose a great spot to park her fat white ass. Up here, I see it all, like in my dreams as a Dragon Knight Rider like the heroes in my favorite movies and TV shows. I can only wonder what it feels like to fly.
"Great view, isn't it?" I turn around and see Sombra and Twilight. "I used to sit up here and read about the nations I saw while I was still studying as a filly."
I nod and sit up. I smile at them both, they were friends. "It's great to see you again. Both of you." I see that Sombra has changed. His magical locks are all gone. His eyes look normal, and are colored red. His mane doesn't shift like shadows, and yet his fangs are still there. However, both Sombra and Twilight seem to have gold hoof bands around their left forelegs. Without a doubt, I knew they were very close before when I met them, but also to see that Sombra is now in love makes my heart sore for my friends.
Sombra walks up to me and we hug like 'men' would with a simple arm around each other and a pat on the back. "It is good to see you again. You've grown, and I sense..."
"Earthpony magic." Twilight smiles and hugs me as well. "You have a strong will, I'm glad that I didn't pick my captain wrong."
"Twilight being wrong?!" Sombra fakes a gasp while Twilight blushes. "What a maddening paradox!"
I am sent into a small fit of chuckles with Sombra. It feels like the stallion is my brother and not only my best friend. We share the same kind of eyes, but his are red and not blue like my own. Not only that, but we share the same color scheme, fangs, and our stances. "So if I may ask, why are you two here?"
Twilight smiles wide. "This was my only day off since May." She frowns a little. "Sorry for your loss."
Sombra nods as well. "Yes, when I heard that your battle was for naught, I was upset. She still died."
"She was saved though." I said, surprising them both. "She was able to return to the summer lands, a complete angel. She saved my life."
"I also wanted to ask you a question." Sombra says with a smile. "Could you be my best stallion? You will be standing right next to me."
Such a high honor for the Lord of Shadows to give me. I nod. "I will be happy to Sombra. You are like a brother to me, and I would love to be there for you."
Sombra gives me this look of shock. "B-brothers? Do you truly see me as such?"
I give him another nod. "Of course. You helped me, plus, we look nearly like twins. Why not be brothers?"
Twilight giggled. "You do sorta look like twins. Brothers from other mothers."
Sombra's smile widens. "Then as brothers, we should drink some time. I believe Big Mac told me of a particular event for stallions these days before they get married."
"Humans have those too!" I laughed. "We'll get all the strippers for ya!" I wink and laugh while Sombra chuckles. Twilight is off to the side, giving us a confused glance. "Women, or mares in this case have the same kind of thing too Twilight."
I see a note pad and a quill and know what's going to come. "Tell me about both of these days please, and what a 'stripper' is."
Sombra gains this, pardon the pun, somber look. "I don't think I like where this is going Twilight... I thought we were enjoying this day off. From ALL types of work."
I wave a hoof and nod. "I'll give you a detailed report and summary on both days by next weeks Twilight. Go, enjoy your vacation with your future husband."
Twilight blushes and the study tools vanish with a pop. "A-alright...I guess...It better be a good report!" She gives me a fake angry look and hugs me. "How has everything else been with Luna? She's been writing a lot about how much she's learned about friendship, and Cadence is learning how kinky a stallion can be."
I snort and laugh. "I cannot believe she wrote about our sex! Yes, I am very kinky and great in bed. Both Luna and Celestia enjoy me so." Twilight blushes.
"EEEwwwww! She's my mom! I didn't need to know that."
"I thought your parents were unicorns?"
"She couldn't raise me as a foal, as she had two retired guard members be my parents. Because my 'mother' as it were was still lactating from my older brother, she was able to nurse me until Celestia could take me back in." She explained with a soft smile. "I understand why she had to do it too. She was a ruler of an entire land, she had to take care of everypony already, now she had her own filly, it was hard. It was actually my godfather who offered to take care of me, then it was my godmother who had enforced it."
"Why were you born as a unicorn and not an alicorn?"
"I had to earn my place. Looks like that you are too." She sets her hoof down on my shoulder, and Sombra doesn't even seem to care. "I'm proud that my captain is working hard."
I smile and flick the ear my earring is on. "Yes, thank you for that. I try to work as hard as I can."
"Like a warrior?" Sombra asks. It seems like he too shares the same kindred spirit I do. It is welcoming to know that we are like soul brothers.
"Of course!" I smile wide, my fangs showing themselves.
"I bet Luna likes those." Twilight says with giggle. "I know she dresses up as Nightmare Moon on Nightmare Night and uses her fangs to scare the foals for fun."
"Nightmare Night?"
"It's a holiday where everypony dresses up in costumes and gets a bunch of candy."
"It's like Hallows'Eve(1)." I tap my chin. Twilight gives me this look like I'll have to explain that as well. "All in due time, its just I've noticed something that makes me think about my old home. There are quite the number of similarities that go beyond what I had thought when I came here." The date is unknown to me now. All the days now just seem to blend together.
I do not mind one bit that I have stopped keeping track of my time here in Equestria. I wish I could forget about my old home, but keep the memories of my friends.
"Twilight, we need to go see your mother and aunt. I need to ask if it is alright..." Sombra said in a more quiet tone than before.
Twilight sighed with a low nod. "You're right...Well, it was good seeing you again Angel. I hope you have a good night's rest."
Sombra chuckled and shook his head. "He won't get any rest from what I've heard about his sex life." We burst into laughter as Twilight runs off. "I'm going to be sleeping in my old room if I keep this up. See you again soon I hope." He bows before running off to catch Twilight.
Once again I am left alone, and the quiet begins to help my mind wander around a little. For the past few days, I've had time to sit back and relax a little. It helped me sort more of my mind in ways that's helped me more than injure me. Days as of late have also been making me think why I had felt so strongly against seeing another have brought questions to the rim of my mind that needed to be tended to.
I understand I am a loyal person. The later a Leo comes, the bigger his loyalty is, and his 'pride'. I am proud of where I'm at. I have a lovely mare...yes, that word, and I'm accepted by her sister. Not only her sister, but her sister's daughter and niece as well. Life has been truly great, and makes me rethink why I suffered through so much.
As a great man had once said, "The laws of Equivalent Exchange shows that everything has a value and with that value, you must pay a price.". This wise man was truly wise. To understand that even the goddess of karma also is based off of the fundamentals of a perfect trade. Do bad, get bad, and get bad, earn good. Everything has a price, so my misfortune and chronic depression was the price to pay for a goddess. I daresay it's not equivalent for the universe to bless me with a goddess.
Ah...Luna, she is a wonder and more. I have a hard time most times waking up with her by my side, and thinking where my life would be without her. She knew who I was the moment I saw her and she saw me. I wouldn't think anything less of her now that she only knew what I showed, but she also now knew what lay deeper in my mind, these thoughts. It is all like a cheesy movie for me to fall in love with a beautiful mare.
Questions were asked from her. "Would you marry me?" Deep down I answered yes. "Would you want a child?" Deep down, I would die for a child or children. I laughed at myself. How could I be so stupid to deny a mare to her rights, a goddess no less.
I think I found a new spot to think. Twilight was very right when she said that this was an amazing spot to be at. To be up here where the cool air blew during the summer days, and would remain cool year round. I loved how close I was to the sky. I reached out with my hoof, a tear going down my ash gray face.
One day I will fly
right up to the sky
my love would be close by
Luna, by my side.
"Am I bothering you?" I hear Celestia's voice.
"Not at all Celestia. What is it that you need?"
"Just to talk." She walked up and sat down beside me, a smile brushed across her face. "My daughter is marrying a stallion who used to be an evil tyrant."
"Said evil tyrant turned evil to try to search for his daughter." I frowned. "What of Sombra?"
"He asked me...no...he demanded that I allow the marriage between him and my dearest Twilight!" She laughed. "I have lived for thousands of years, and here is a shadowmancer saying he wants to marry the mare who changed him. Is it bad that this is new to me?"
I shrugged and smiled. "Not at all. At least this will remind you that you can't have seen everything. Saying that is similar to saying that there is such thing as perfection."
"Didn't you call Luna perfect?"
I shook my head. "No one is perfect, in fact who are we to say that perfection is more than just what it is, an ideal concept. Nothing is perfect, nothing is forever, all ideas, never have been proven. At some point this universe will either expand so much that there will be nothing to see in the night sky, just cold...Another factor in play is that everything will fall back into the Primeval state and start all over again."
"I cannot tell if you are a optimist or a pessimist." Celestia says in a rather confused tone. I can only smile. "Tell me, what are you."
"I see the truth, speak it, and live it." I answered. "As soon as I see how a pony acts, I know their whole life, start, and how it will finish."
"It is like judging a book by it's cover."
"Are you here to have a philosophical battle or to relax Celestia?"
She looks at me, shocked, but her face rests into a smile. "You win this time Angel."
I smirk allowing my ego to speak for me. "And I will win the next until you learn that I accept things as they come. Because as I see it, fate lead me here. It was spoken that I would do great things by people who were long dead before my birth. I strive to prove that I can do greater than they had envisioned." I spoke like my father in a way at that moment. "I was lead down a hard road, given a hand that nearly brought out my own end...now..." I wave my hoof out to all of Equestria. "I have this new home...I feel like I am in some sort of movie or novel." I feel a sight tingle fall down my back. "It's all so....-"
"Real?" Celestia asks, and I answered her with a short nod. "Well, it is. You feel it, you eat it-" She gives me a wink and I scoff then chuckle. She pushes me gently with one of her wings. "Oh come now, I joke."
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah-yeah..." I laughed a little and looked up at her. "What do you think about me fucking your sister anyways?"
"You two share a bond that I do not think I have the right, even as an immortal, to break. In all honesty, she needed it." I stare into Celestia's magenta eyes, confused greatly. "I needed it too. You helped us out in more ways than I can begin to think. If you weren't with Luna, I'd be with you in a heart beat." I didn't know how to react. Celestia leaned in and kissed me deeply. I could tell she poured as much affection into the kiss as possible. When we broke, she stared into my eyes. "You have very sharp eyes, you speak the truth. So speak now, would you love me?"
"I think..." Well, this is a hard question to answer. "If my heart could be made for two, yes. I love Luna dearly, and would never wish to break her heart....You kissing me....I fear it may hurt her, yet, she is so open for me to love you."
"The question is would you love me while you cannot love her?"
"Yes." I say without thinking. "But it would be hard to stop my love for her. Even Death had to take a step back when I didn't want to die because I guessed he felt my love was strong."
"More than your love clearly. It is your Will."
"My Will? Truly?"
She nods and looks out towards the horizon. "Yes, believe it or not, I had this feeling when I saw you, you were different. It was....like when I saw Twilight when she was old enough to enter my school for gifted unicorns. I saw so much raw potential, it is strange you, who used to be a human, have it as well."
"Well, it is good to know that I am within your sight Celestia."
She gives out a laugh from her belly. "You are more than a sight, you are a marvel! You surpass everything I have thought you would not. You grow, you learn, you adapt better than anything I have seen before!"
I blush a little for some reason. "I-....I'm flattered...."
"You should be, it isn't everyday you have two goddesses who view you so well....." She pauses and pulls me close. "Love even..." She says those two words in Gaelic.
"Do you really?" She nods. "Why?"
"Because you're so sweet, kind, loyal...great in the bed..." We chuckle. "Plus...you forgave me. Forgiveness is strange when I received it from you. It gave me such a feeling in my heart...I cannot bare to keep it locked up. I fear that it may destroy me if I did so."
"Give me time to think about this Celestia." I say then kiss her. "I have a lot on my mind, and tomorrow I join Luna...wherever she may go on Sundays."
"How about we start with a simple date hmm?" She asks. "In Equestria, mares are the ones who go for the stallions as there are more of us and less of them available. How about a coffee shop I know? Great place to be as autumn sets in."
"How's a week from Monday sound?" I ask.
She smiles at me and kisses me on the cheek. "It's a date, I need to set some time off for that day. Have a good night up here."
"I don't think I'll be alone too long."
She rolls her eyes and walks on.
I smile, feeling something deep down. I hold my hoof to my chest, right over my heart.
It is....strange....
Author's Note
(1) Hallows'Eve or Halloween: Started as a pagan or wiccan day on the 31st of October. It was a day were everyone made a cake and gave it to their neighbors as good luck. The dressing up part comes from the same time where they would dress up as evil witches or cover themselves with their bed sheets and look like evil spirits so they aren't harmed. Eventually the cakes turned into candies. It was turned into Halloween after Christians for some reason I am happy to say someone has helped out in the comments!
Evilcheez271 says:
the Christians commandeered halloween and christmas from the pagans in an effort to force the pagans off their celebrations. By adapting the pagan practices and "chiristifying" it, Christianity killed off pagan practices, and absorbed the remnants of paganism.
Fun fact: Christ was actually born in I think May, or March... Something with an "m" but we celebrate christmas in december because of Christianity pushing paganism off the date, which was an important date to them for some reason or other.
Sorry about the wait, had some general lack of interest in writing over the past week as Warframe seemed to plague my mind. Now that's over, I am back to writing this and Warframe: A Mission Never to Forget. Updates on both fics will be one after another. Don't expect an update from this until Warframe updates and so-on.
