Chapter 10: A look into the past(Edited)

Silence immediately fell when Celestia explained that another human had actually lived here a long time ago when she and Luna were only Fillies. I couldn't believe that a human actually came here to Equestria before me. That explained why many ponies around here believed that humans were only a myth and a legend in this world, and how Celestia and Luna knew about my race.

"Wait, wait, wait, back up! You mean to tell me that a human actually came here before me?!" I asked in shocked.

Celestia nodded. "Yes. He was one of the most kind hearted humans that Luna and I ever met. He was the guardian of Equestria and the best around."

"What...happened to him?" I asked.

Celestia and Luna frowned a little, but Celestia spoke. "He made the ultimate sacrifice and saved us and all of Equestria." Celestia said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I believe it's better to show you." Luna suggested.

"Show me? How?" I asked.

"Me and Luna have a memory spell that allows us to tap into our memories or into others." Celestia explained.

"Oooh, that's a very handy spell." I said smiling, then getting serious. "Okay, go ahead and show me what you know."

The princesses nodded and their horns glowed brightly and swallowed us up.

(Year 13: 2002 years ago)

I slowly opened my eyes after the light died down. I looked around and saw me, and the others in a garden. Canterlot looked pretty much, for a lack in better terms, young. I then heard the sound of two fillies giggling and we turned around.

In the open part of the garden, two young fillies, one with a little white dress with a colorful mane, along with another filly, who had rich light blue hair, and a light blue dress was being chased by a human.

He had white hair, wore thin gold armor with a hint of white strips on the sides, has a pair of folded up wings that were covered in gold pieces of armor, and had a mixture of green and purple eyes.

"Come here, you little rascals!" The boy shouted while chuckling, trying to catch the fillies.

"You can't catch us, Jon!" the white filly taunted while giggling.

"Are those fillies you and Luna, Celestia?" I asked the sun princess.

Celestia nodded. "Yes, this is the time when me and Luna were fillies. That young man is Jon Flame. He was the guardian of Equestria."

I looked back at the two fillies and smiled. "Hmhmhm, well you two look so adorable as fillies."

I looked at the two, who were once again blushing a little.

Luna smiled. "You really are a flatterer Daniel."

I chuckled lightly while scratching my head. "I try."

"Gotcha!"

I looked back and saw Jon with both fillies in his arms and was smirking in a playful evil way.

"You two have been naughty little fillies. You know what happens when you behave like this when your mommy and daddy leave me in charge of you two?" He said in a playful way.

Little Celestia and Luna went wide eyed.

"NO! Anything but that!" The two shouted while struggling in his grip.

Jon chuckled. "Sorry. Time to give you two your punishments." He gently placed the two on the ground, making them look up at him. "TICKLE TIME!" He lunged his fingers into the fillies and the two started laughing uncontrollably.

"N-NONONO! AHAHAHAHA! JON, STOP! WE PROMISE WE'LL BE GOOD FILLIES! HAHAHAHA!" Filly Celestia shouted while laughing her heart out.

"JON, STOP! UNCLE! UNCLE! HAHAHAHAHAHA! WE'LL BE GOOD PROMISE! AAAHAHAHAHA!" Filly Luna chuckled while tears went down her eyes.

Jon chuckled and stopped tickling the two fillies, letting them take in fresh air.

The two sat up while giggling a little from their little punishment. After they stopped giggling, they then lunged at Jon and gave him a huge hug.

"We're glad you came to Equestria, Jon." Filly Celestia said hugging Jon tight.

"You're the best foalsitter ever." Filly Luna said snuggling into Jon's arm.

Jon smiled warmly while a tear ran down his cheek and hugged the two fillies. "I'm glad I came here as well, and I'm happy to have met you two and your parents."

I smiled warmly at the scene while I felt a tear of my own leaked from my eye. This was a sight to behold. I never knew Celestia and Luna had such a bond with him. I looked at the two princesses and they had tears leaking from their eyes from the moment they were seeing.

"Jon! Time to bring the girls back inside!" Called out a female voice.

"Coming!" Jon called back. He grabbed the two fillies and carried them into the castle.

Celestia and rest of us followed suit into the castle.

"Celestia, I've been meaning to ask, what kind of pony are you, Luna and Cadence?" I asked.

"We are Alicorns, the rarest ponies around. Whoever becomes an Alicorn, symbolizes that pony as royalty." Celestia explained.

As we got into the throne room, two large Alicorns were sitting on the thrones.

The first Alicorn was a mare. She had a flowing burning gold mane and tail that blended with a hint of purple at the end while sparkling a little like the stares. Her eyes were also burning gold as well. She wore a golden dress with light purple streaks, had sparkling purple shoes, a large golden crown, and had some kind of swirling blazing sun cutie mark with sparkles on it.

The other Alicorn was a stallion. He was completely dark, but sparkled like the night sky with amazing stars. His mane and tail looked pretty messy while it moved like it was on fire, but was deep rich purple, rivalry to Rarity's colored mane. He wore a black suit that had a dark grey armor chestplate, with a purple opal in the center. He wore a dark grey crown completed with small purple opals on each side and the center. His cutie Mark was a large star with a full moon on the side of it.

"Is that.." I started.

"Yes. That's the King and Queen...our mother and father. Our mother's name is Sun Burn and our father's name is Black Knight." Luna finished.

"Wow." I said in awe.

The queen smiled at the human. "I see you had a good time with my little princesses."

Jon smiled. "I did. They can be a handful."

Black Knight chuckled. "Knowing them, they love playing around. Especially with you."

"Come on Jon, Let's play some more!" Filly Luna cheerfully said tugging his upper shirt.

"Playtime will have to wait for tomorrow. Right now, it's time for the two of you to get some sleep." Sun Burn said to the two young ones.

"AWWWW!" They whined.

"Can we stay up just five more minutes mommy?" Filly Celestia asked giving her mom the puppy eye look.

"Pretty pleeeeeeease?" Filly Luna begged giving them the puppy look as well.

Sun Burn and Black Knight laughed a little.

"Oh all right. Only five more minutes." Black Knight said.

"YAAAY!" The two fillies cheered while clinging onto Jon tightly.

"Hahaha, what did you two get me into?" He joked causing all of them to laugh.

All my life, I've never seen such a happy moment before. This warm feeling seeing Celestia and Luna bond with their parents and Jon brings up memories of my mother and grandfather up. Ah, good times.

I smiled warmly and looked at the two rulers. "You two had such amazing parents."

Celestia smiled warmly at me. "They were, and we loved them from the bottom of our hearts."

"Though, we need to go deeper into this so I can get the answers I need." I said in a low but serious tone.

The princesses nodded and we were once again engulfed in the bright light.

(Year 14: 2001 years ago)

The light faded and we were now standing on the balcony, where the moon and stars shined brightly in the night. We saw Jon standing on the balcony looking up at the stars, lost in deep thought.

"Jon."

We looked back and saw Queen Sun Burn walking up to him with a black sheath with a sword in it. Strangely, the sheath looked exactly like mine.

"Sun Burn, I thought you were in bed sleeping." Jon said with little surprise.

"I know, but I came down here to give you this." She held the sheathed sword and Jon took it.

"What is this?" Jon asked.

" My husband and I wanted to give this to you as a gift for everything you did for all of us. This is a special sword made by the toughest and rarest material in Equestria." Sun Burn explained.

Jon looked back at the sheathed sword and gently pulled it out.

To my complete surprise, the sword looked exactly like mine. There was the black crystallized rock on the edge, along with the crystal in the center.

"Sun Burn...is this crystal and rock.." He started in awe.

Sun Burn smiled warmly and nodded. "Yes, the crystal is from the Crystal Empire mines, and the black rock from the Canterlot mines. The strongest material to be known."

Jon looked back up at her with shock. "I...I don't know what to say." He then smiled warmly and hugged her. "Thank you Sun Burn."

She smiled and returned the embrace. "You're welcome, my little human."

At least now I knew that my sword was actually created in Equestria. But what was still bothering me is how did I get it in the first place. My grandfather said he created the sword by hand. He doesn't even know about Jon or Equestria...does he?

"Little Lulu, I know you're back there." Jon said breaking my trail of thought.

Little Luna peeked her head out from behind a pillar.

"Sweetie, what are doing? it's past your bedtime?" Sun Burn asked her daughter.

"I couldn't sleep. And I wanted to ask Jon something, but you started talking to him, so I hang back." Little Luna explained.

Jon smiled and kneeled to her height. "What is you wanted to ask me?" He asked.

Little Luna blushed ever so slightly. "Can you...tuck me into bed...and sing me a lullaby?" She whispered.

Jon chuckled and smiled warmly. "Of course, my little night princess." He gently scooped the filly in his arms and cradled her like a baby.

He turned back to Sun Burn and smiled. "I'm gonna tuck Luna into bed and gonna get some sleep. Again, thank you for the sword, Sun Burn."

Sun Burn smiled. "Anytime, Jon. Sleep well."

"You too, Sun Burn." Jon said and took Little Luna to her sleeping chambers.

I smiled warmly at Jon. He had such a good heart. Though, I still need further information about all this.

"Come. There is one more memory to show you." Luna said and once more, we were engulfed in the light.

(Year 15: 2000 years ago)

I opened my eyes again and what I saw shocked me to my core. Canterlot was destroyed. Much of what was left was crumbled, gardens destroyed, and many things were on fire and turning into ashes.

"Celestia, what happened here?" I asked in total shock.

Celestia looked at me with sadness. "A powerful god named Paradox tried to take over Equestria, but Jon was able to defeat him...but." She looked in the distance.

I looked in the distance not to far from us and saw Queen Sun Burn and King Black Knight on their knees with tears running down their eyes.

"Mommy! Daddy!"

I looked to my left and saw Luna and Celestia, around probably eight or nine years old running up to them. They stopped in front of their parents with fear in their eyes.

"Mommy, where's Jon?" Little Celestia asked.

Sun Burn and Black Knight looked at their children and more tears fell.

"I'm so sorry." Sun Burn held out a golden Helmet, the size for a human to fit in.

The fillies looked at the helmet, until their eyes widened and tears fell from their eyes.

"You mean he's…" Little Luna couldn't finish as she sank to her knees.

Black Knight brought her to a heart breaking hug and sobbed a little. "Jon...made the ultimate sacrifice...for us all...we will...always remember him...from our hearts."

Luna and Celestia broke down into tears and sobbed and wailed loudly.

Sun Burn gently took Celestia in her arms and sobbed with them.

What I was seeing broke my heart. Jon...the guardian of this world...made the ultimate sacrifice and saved them all. This was a lot for me to take in. I felt tears pouring from my eyes from this heart breaking moment. This sad moment was enough to remember the death of my family. Losing my mother, and my grandfather. Then, the light appeared again and I was standing back in the throne room, and saw Shining, Cadence, Celestia and Luna in tears.

"I...I don't know what to say." I whimpered.

Cadence hugged Shining and whimpered a little, while Shining did his best to comfort her.

I wiped my tears and looked at the two rulers. "I'm so sorry for the loss of Jon, Celestia and Luna. Even though I never met him in person, but from what I knew from those memories, I could tell he was a great man, and he will always be remembered."

Celestia and Luna smiled a little and the two gave me a hug.

"Thank you Daniel. You don't know how much that means to us." Celestia said as the last of her tears subsided.

"He will always be remembered in our hearts, and our parents." Luna said wiping her tears away.

"I would like to know what happened to Sun Burn and Black Knight, but if you two are not comfortable telling me about it, I understand." I said smiling.

The two smiled warmly at me.

"Thank you Daniel." Celestia thanked.

I smiled and nodded. "Well, I better get packed up and head back to Ponyville." I looked at Shining and Cadence. "It was an honor meeting the two of you, and I hope we'll see each other again soon."

The two smiled.

"We'll be looking forward to seeing you again as well, Daniel." Shining said.

"You're more than welcome to see us anytime." Cadence said smiling.

I smiled and waved goodbye to the princesses and left to my room to get packed up.

Jon...I promise...I'll protect them...no matter what.
