Beautiful Indeed
The air was cool and the moon shone bright upon Equestria in a beautiful spring night. Evening Breeze had just finished writing her latest novel at home for a series she had been working on. It could take a while sometimes but she always found the time to get it done. But now she had finished her latest chapter and called it a night so that she could go and relax upon a hill in Ponyville that was very special to her and her brother, Lightning Blast. Evening was a lavender Unicorn with an aqua colored mane and tail with a slightly navy colored streak running through them. She was sure Lightning would want to join her tonight however, just as she had a job in writing, Lightning had his own job over in the weather team and he was working with the night crew to make this night as beautiful as spring nights should be. And she understood this, its not like there wasn't another time he could come along.
As she walked through the abandoned streets of Ponyville she could not help but admire the night around her. The season was spring which was her very favorite season of them all. Ponyville had just recently finished winter wrap up and now with the warmth coming back and trying to push away the cold, the two created an atmosphere that was just perfect. The cold of winter and warmth of summer evenly balanced creating a sort of harmony between the two giving the night a cool refreshing feeling.
She turned her head towards the sky and admired the Moon and stars, it had been a while since she had been able to truly appreciate the night sky without just a quick glance out her window from her writing desk at home. The full moon shone brightly and nicely illuminated the town and its surrounding areas with a beautiful silvery light that made everything seem to have a nice dim to it. The stars were at their finest tonight as she could glance up and with a skilled eye see many different constellations. Evening Breeze had always loved the stars but had never gotten quite into them as much as she did writing. Although they did hold a special place for her as they reminded her of her parents, her father especially as he had always had his head in the stars. She missed them greatly.
She arrived at the hilltop and it was just as she remembered it, grass that was a tad wet but still manageable that was freshly growing along with a beautiful patch of flowers. It was odd but they never seemed to stay the same during the seasons. In the summer she would find sunflowers. In the fall she would see shamrock roses in the winter she wouldn't find much as the cold kept things from growing. However it was the flower she found in spring that she liked most. It was a beautiful patch of lilies. She had always been fond of the flowers as they had been her mothers favorite as well and she could often find them around the house. She began to make her way to the patch and sure enough, as if by clockwork, there were tons of lilies growing upon the hill. She lay down around the middle of the patch and once again began to relax and enjoy the night around her.
She also really enjoyed the Sounds of the Night during spring, it was during this time that all the little critters would finally have woken up from hibernation and they could now frolic freely once again. She heard crickets chirping, toads croaking, the occasional whistle from a bird or two that had stayed up later than usual. It was beautiful, absolutely beautiful. And she was grateful that she could spend it all here without having to worry about her writing.
As she lay there she turned to the one part of the hill she had not appreciated yet, it was a bit of a sadder more baren part of the hill but it was also the part that made the place special to her. There just to the side of the patch of flowers were two graves that had been put in over 3 years ago. Her parents graves, it was by their request that they were buried here when they passed and it was made so. She loved to visit this hill in the spring and enjoy it with them. Remembering them.
"I wish you could see this." She whispered, "This is the kind of night that would give you both the biggest smiles." She said with a smile of her own as tears started to form in her eyes. She knew her parents would not want her to grieve them for long as they had tried to prepare her and Lightning for the time they passed since they were in school. Though they did it subtly so it would be more of a subconscious training. However she couldn't keep herself from grieving them. And a single tear fell from her eyes and into the patch in front of her.
She continued to silently appreciate her surroundings with her parents when she noticed a sort of red-orange glow coming from the ground near her. She looked down at her hooves and saw a glowing lily growing right before her eyes. it had a golden fiery hue that made it one of the rare kinds of lilies that had not grown in this patch yet. It was a fire lily. She had always appreciated fire lilies as they contained the names of both her parents, Fire starter and golden lily. She smiled at the lily and gently plucked it from the ground, putting it behind one of her ears with her magic. Though she couldn't see them, she knew that her parents were still there with her. Guiding her and her brother. She smiled and glanced up at the night she was experiencing. She said goodbye to her parents once more before getting up and heading home for bed. She would always remember Beautiful nights like this. Yes, a Beautiful night indeed.
