The Tales of Solar Eclipse

The tales of Solar Eclipse chapter 1- The letter and the Princess

-Eclipse pov-

I walked into my house and slammed the door behind me with a sad sigh. I had just been fired from my job at the publisher’s office and to make matters worse I wasn’t getting my check for the work I had done this week because my boss was a prejudice bitch! I mean, just because I’m eighteen and don’t have a cutie mark doesn’t mean I can just be fired right? WRONG, Colthio (pronounced colt-hi-oh) was one of the most prejudice states in Equestria! I walked into the kitchen and looked at a note on the fridge from Firehawk and Blackburn.

Went to Sugarcane rd. for a cupcake sale, back in a couple hours

Blackburn and Firehawk.

I laughed, those two and there sweet tooth’s. I used magic on the pantry doors and levitated out a box of my favorite food, pocky. I checked inside the box and groaned, THERE WAS NONE LEFT! I chucked the box at the trashcan and made it in cursing Sky Redeemer for eating my pocky. I tried to listen for him and heard the water running, he was taking a shower. I threw my hooves in the air and let out a frustrated noise. I took a look in the mirror in front of the sink and calming down.

I was an alicorn with a dark crimson coat and a sandy blonde mane and tail with a lighter blonde in them. They were both long and a little shaggy with my bangs covering my right eye. I had light blue eyes and gold rimmed reading glasses that I never took off. Seriously I even sleep with these things on. I’ve had them ever since I was a kid, they were the only gift from my father before he left my mom. (OK sob story aside let’s get back to the appearance.)I even had black freckles on the bridge of my nose. Now the weird thing was that I wore clothes… everyday. I wore dark blue jeans and a black tee shirt. I was also tall, how tall, taller than a hell of a lot of colts and mares. The only acception that existed was Sky who was four inches taller! I sighed and went over to the couch.

“Well at least things can’t get any worse!”

Now I don’t know what mystical power those words had because here’s what happened next. A light grey Pegasus with a blonde mane and tail crashed through my window and landed two feet in front of me. I of course screamed like a little girl and jumped behind the couch thinking it was a kamikaze pony! I peeked out and saw the Pegasus pony rubbing her head her yellow eyes crossed and carrying a mail bag. I sighed in relief, I mean it wasn’t our normal mail pony but I’d get that cleared up. I smiled sheepishly as I looked at the mail pony.

“Um, any reason why you crashed through my window?” I asked with as much patience as possible. She looked at me and laughed nervously.

“Um, I’m sorry, you see I tried to land outside the door then I just kept going and!” I put up a hoof laughing.

“Don’t sweat it, if it was just an accident then it’s alright!” I stuck a hoof out.

“I’m Solar Eclipse, but I go by either Sol (pronounced like soul), or Eclipse!” The mare laughed and shook my hoof, I noticed that her eyes were still crossed.

“I’m Ditzy Doo. But a lot of ponies mistake me for my sister Derpy!” I laughed at that.

“Derpy and Ditzy… I can’t say anything about that that won’t make me sound like a jerk!” I said laughing some more.

I saw the frown on Ditzy’s face and stopped.

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to offend you.” I said in a somber tone as I stood up and walked into the kitchen to get something for us to both drink, sure didn’t seem like she was in a rush to go anywhere. I popped back into the living room and saw Ditzy looking through her mail bag. I levitated over a glass of water for us both and sat down. She took the glass and drank it smiling.

“Thank you.” I smiled,

“So where’re ya from?” I asked taking a sip of my water as she went back through her mailbag searching for some letter.

“I’m from a place called Ponyville.” I racked my brain for a second on all the geography books I had read.

“Is it a little town off to the side of Canterlot?” Ditzy looked up at me and smiled her eyes were still crossed.

“Yup, that’s the place!” She said before she went back into the mail bag. I looked at it and saw a letter sticking out of a side pocket. I levitated the letter in front of her face.

“Is this it?” I asked with a smile as Ditzy blushed and grabbed the letter before hoofing it to me.

“Don’t say it.” She said with a small smile and crossing her arms. I just put on a face of innocence.

“Why I wasn’t going to say anything!” I said with a small laugh before I checked who the letter was from…

“GOOD GOD IT’S FROM THE PRINCESS!” I looked at Ditzy and laughed nervously.

“That was supposed to be a thought bubble.” I said scratching the back of my head.

Ditzy just giggled and I let out a frustrated sigh. I looked at her as she got up to leave. I got up and attempted to go open and window for her to fly out of when she left… At least that’s what I had hoped would happen but no. Instead we both got up and when Ditzy was trying to walk past the coffee table and tumbled down. And me being just ever so lucky tumbled down with her. Oh but that’s not all! Are you ready for this? When we fell I somehow ended up on top of her in a very compromising position. Let’s just say we were connected at the hips Ditzy on her hooves and knees and me on her back. Oh but it gets better! Because at that moment I had noticed that the water had stopped running and looked up to find who other than Sky standing there with a towel… gaping. Sky was a dark grey Alicorn with dark brown eyes and a dark brown mane and tail which were usually long and shaggy but since he just got out of the shower they didn’t look it.

Ditzy and I put our hooves up in defense shaking them back and forth.

“IT’S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!” We shouted simultaneously as Sky just gaped… still. I got off Ditzy and proved my point. He sighed in relief.

“Oh thank god! I thought I’d have to leave the house!”

I furrowed my brow in anger and frustration before I helped Ditzy up who was blushing like mad. Tell the truth I was too. I tried to meet Ditzy’s eyes but found it kind of hard so I just looked at the ground.

“So I guess I’ll catch ya later?” I said shuffling over to the window. Ditzy looked a little sad.

“Um, maybe if the Princess sends you another letter than yeah I guess I will.” I looked up in surprise.

“Wait, so you aren’t a mail pony from Colthio?” She shook her head no still unable to meet my gaze.

“No, I was actually just asked to bring you the letter from Canterlot.” I sighed, I’d made a friend… Kind of, but she lived far away. I looked at the letter and opened it reading it aloud.

“Solar Eclipse and Sky Redeemer, I Princess Celestia would like to formally invite you to the Summer Sun Celebration which is being held in the location of Ponyville. On a personal note I would like you to watch over my faithful student Twilight Sparkle whom you may accompany to Ponyville from Canterlot.” I stopped reading aloud because the next part of the letter was just for… me?

P.S. I hope to see you there Solar Eclipse there’s something about your past that must be known.

Signed Celestia.

I raised an eyebrow at the ending. Something about my past, and I’m pretty sure that she didn’t sign the letter formally at the end. What the hell is going on? I turned to Sky and gave him the letter.

“I think they have a clue about something.” I said putting emphasis on the something part as I motioned for him to read the bottom line. He read it and his eyes widened. He looked at me then Ditzy.

“We need to go… NOW!” I nodded and went to pack a saddlebag for a couple days trip. Just the usual my notebooks, a couple pencils, my uncle’s captain’s badge, and a change of clothes. I walked back out to the living room to see that Sky was ready as well wearing his signature white hat. (Again it’s finn’s hat from adventure time.) I went to the kitchen and wrote Firehawk and Blackburn a note to say where we’re at.

Gone to Canterlot for Summer Sun Celebration, somepony may know who Sky really is so stay frosty! And please get the window fixed, don’t ask what happened.

Signed Solar and Sky.

I tacked the note to the fridge and turned to Ditzy who had a look of confusion on her face. I just opened the window.

“It’s complicated so we just need to get going.” I said as I flew out the window followed by Sky, then Ditzy who was trying to ask questions until I showed her the badge and said it was official royal guard business. Was I a royal guard? No, it was hoofed down to me by my uncle who died because of a manticore. I remembered the hours I would spend just looking at this badge wishing he hadn’t died, but he was gone, and there was nothing I could do about it.

Ditzy of course flew us there, we even had a nice talk on the way about what we all did. Ditzy was of course a mail pony, What Sky did was classified, as for me I had done many things. I had learned spells, created spells, I had done a sonic Rainboom when I was a little colt, I was in every sense of the word a genius, I could play and make music with my guitar, I was an artist, and I had been trained to one day head out and find somewhere in Equestria where ponies needed protecting. Only sad part was that I still didn’t get my cutie mark, Damn you cutie marks how much time before I can get you?

Ditzy told me about her friend Rainbow Dash who had also done a sonic Rainboom when she was just a filly. I smirked, that meant that Firehawk and I finally had somepony who we could race against on even ground. We all seemed to just talk about random things after that and one time Ditzy accidentally flew into a storm cloud shocking herself. What made her so distracted that she didn’t hear the thunder I shall never know. (You all know why.) We flew up and saw Canterlot on the horizon and a small town just below. I smiled and turned to Ditzy.

“Thanks Ditzy we can take it from here.” She smiled at me and Sky.

“No problem, don’t forget to visit while you’re in Ponyville!” I smiled and so did Sky.

“We won’t, catch ya later!” And with that me and Sky were off at top speed to Canterlot. Ditzy sighed and walked into her house with her sisters.

Sky and me were flying toward Canterlot when he spoke.

“I think she likes you.” I began to stutter before I caught my words.

“S-SO! That doesn’t mean anything!” He smiled.

“Oh yes it does.” I groaned, not this bit again.

“No it doesn’t!” He turned to me with a wicked smile.

“Ooooh yes it does!” I sighed in frustration and leered at him.

“No… It doesn’t.” He smiled and the whole way there we kept up this banter until we reached the castle doors. I was stopped as a pair of guard’s put up their wings like blades as they  gave off that signature ‘Shing’ from a sword being drawn.

“Halt, state your business at the palace!” I sighed and flipped out my uncle’s captain badge. The guard’s immediately gasped and put their wings away.

“FORGIVE US CAPTAIN WE DID NOT KNOW!” I put a hoof up and in my most commanding voice possible said.

“It’s alright, but it is imperative I see the Princess immediately!” The guard’s moved aside.

“YES SIR!” And with that we just waltzed right in and started walking to the throne room.

“Dude, how did you do that?” Sky asked me as I just kept my commanding air to suppress any other guard’s.

“It’s simple, I’ve got the badge, and they expect a captain of the royal guard to be a leader.” He just shivered.

“Alright, you’ve got to stop with that serious nature of yours, it suits me more than it does you.” I checked to make sure there were no guards around to bust us and smirked.

“So says the son of Christ!” Before we had a small laugh. Yeah that was Sky’s big secret, he was the son of Christ. Only myself, Firehawk, and Blackburn knew this. In a sense it really was a highly classified piece of information that nopony should know about. But we knew so we just became part of the secret.

We walked into the throne room and for the first time in my life I saw Princess Celestia. And let me just tell you… WOW, just wow! I met her eyes and for a second I thought I felt time stop. My breath hitched and I noticed that for a moment Princess Celestia’s eyes had widened, it was only for a moment but I caught it. My brain caught up with me and made me do a quick bow before I got back up. I had a small blush but thanks to the dark red coat it wasn’t noticeable. Princess Celestia on the other hoof had a white coat and I saw a small blush before it vanished and she regained her air as a ruler.

“Hello Solar Eclipse and Sky Redeemer.” I looked up at Princess Celestia.

“You requested for us to see you?” I asked as Sky kept himself on air tight alert. Princess Celestia smiled.

“Indeed I did, you see Solar it is about your deceased uncle Captain Stormwing.” My eyes widened.

“I’m sorry but what do you mean this is about my uncle, we thought this was about Sky being-” Princess Celestia smiled.

“Oh I already knew about Sky Redeemer being the son of Christ, but right now this is a matter of what your uncle has left you other than that Captain’s badge which you are currently in possession of.” My breath caught. If she knew about the badge then… WAIT! I felt a tingle at the back of my head and grimaced. It was a mind reading spell! I crashed the spell and put up a thought barrier before looking at Celestia.

“Sorry, but my thoughts are my own!” She was shocked for a moment, probably because I broke the spell. But then her face lit up with happiness.

“I see, then I shall respect your privacy.” I smiled happily my anger forgotten.

“Thank you, and I’m sorry fer barkin.” I said laughing nervously as I looked at Sky whose eyebrows were raised in shock and surprise.

Princess Celestia giggled, now I can’t tell you how but it sounded like music to my ears. Then all of a sudden the room became somber with the next thing that had to be discussed. Princess Celestia looked at me with an apologetic smile.

“I’m sorry for your loss, Stormwing was indeed an excellent Captain of the guard.” I smiled sadly and looked down.

“He was more than excellent, he was the best.” I said keeping myself together not daring to cry in front of the Princess. Princess Celestia looked down at me sympathetically.

“I know that this is a sad time but he left you something for me to give to you today.” I looked up at Princess Celestia and sucked it up letting out a shaky breath before I regained my composure.

“So what did uncle Stormwing leave me?” Princess Celestia smiled before she pulled out three things which almost made my heart break. The first was his midnight blue cowpony hat that he got when he came for a visit in Colthio and we all took a trip to Mexicolt. The second was his guard’s armor. Like the hat it was a midnight blue color with silver outlining. And the last was what almost sent me to shreds… It was his Necklace with his cutie mark on it. It was a blue storm cloud with silver lightning striking down from it on a silver chain. It was his dog tag. I took the necklace and hat magically. It took all my courage to put on the dog tag and hat. But I gave the armor back to Celestia and smiled a sad smile.

“Put it in a memoriam please. He’d want to have something for everypony to remember him by.” Celestia smiled sadly and I tipped the hat against the brim of my horn. As far down as it could possibly go.

“So, you wanted us to go with your student Twilight Sparkle to Ponyville for the Summer Sun Celebration?” Sky asked trying to spare me from having to speak. Celestia’s gaze lingered on me for a second. It felt like she just wanted to run up and hug me for all the pain I had gone through from this entire ordeal. She looked at Sky.

“Well, actually Solar is the one who is going to the Celebration. You’re here because your father has sent for you to return and hold the gates of Heaven for an up and coming event. Sky’s eyes widened before he became serious.

“Alright, tell him I’ll be up momentarily.” Celestia just nodded and looked back to me.

“Solar, I know now’s not the right time but you may want to know this.” I looked up and put on a smile trying to act as tough as I possibly could.

“I see, and what is it I need to know?” Celestia frowned and spoke.

“Your father wants you to have this.” I froze. My father? I sneered.

“Whatever that spineless bastard wants to give me for not being there to raise his own son can burn in tartauros alongside him!” I was giving off waves of anger and was held down by Sky who had put a hoof on my shoulder preparing a spell to stop me if I became enraged.

Princess Celestia’s eyes had widened but grew sympathetic.

“Solar, I can’t tell you who your father is or why he did what he did but I can tell you that he cares.” I snarled.

“IF THAT POOR EXCUSE FOR A COLT CARED THEN HE WOULDN’T HAVE LEFT!” I heard a guard slam open the doors to the throne room.

“PRINCESS ARE YOU ALRIGHT?” He looked at me and sneered. I sneered right back making him quake in his armor before Princess Celestia spoke.

“It is alright, I am in no danger, now please leave the throne room.” The guard stayed for a second before bolting out the door. I took a breather and looked at Celestia.

“I’m, I’m sorry. I just can’t believe that after all these years my father would ever dare to show his face.” I said as I sighed and sat on my haunches putting my hooves to the side of my head. Celestia just smiled sadly again as she got up from her throne. She walked up and hoofed me the book, I took a second to see two notes in it. One from my father and one from Princess Celestia. I looked up and smiled. I was about to bow but Princess Celestia hugged me. I looked over and saw Sky’s eyes widen in surprise before he got a mischievous smirk. Oh come on, why must you torture me so? I looked forward and tried to wrap an arm around Princess Celestia to try and return the hug, but it felt a little awkward.

“Um, Princess Celestia?” She stopped hugging me and smiled.

“Please, just call me Celestia.” I blushed and rubbed the back of my head. I looked up and noticed that Celestia was smiling embarrassedly with a small blush. I saw her try to meet my eyes but she found the ground quite interesting. I took a look myself, nope still the same, cool, tile floor.

I looked up at Celestia and smiled.

“Well then I guess we’ll get out of your hair.” Me and Sky started to walk off before I stopped myself and did a quick facehoof before I turned back to Celestia.

“I almost forgot, where is Twilight Sparkle’s current residence?” Celestia looked up and gasped in surprise, she had forgotten to  tell us!

“She lives in the Canterlot library.” I smiled and did a quick wave before I turned toward an open window.

“Thanks Celestia!” And with that I was off with a soft boom. Celestia just watched me go off almost in a trance. Sky smirked and a shadowed figure fell from the ceiling.

-Third person pov-

“It seems my son has indeed grown up.” The voice held a lot of sorrow in it and was a deep baritone. Celestia and Sky looked at the figure and frowned.

“Hello Crimson Tail.” Sky said as he showed little to no emotion gaining a serious air about him. The figure just sighed in sadness.

“Hello Ryan. I see you have found a friend in my son.” It was more of a statement then a question, Sky nodded.

“And I see you’ve decided to tell him of his future now.” Sky said as he walked over to  the window closing it before he put up a sound barrier. The figure smiled.

“Indeed I have, so Celestia what did you think of my son?” Celestia looked toward the ground with a blush across her face.

“Well he definitely seems to be a generally forgiving and good natured Stallion.” She glared at the figure.

“Though he does appear to have gone though emotional trauma and is clearly angered that his father is alive but wasn’t there.” The last few words dripped with venom toward the figure. The figure cringed. It wasn’t that he didn’t love his son, he did. He just couldn’t get close to him until now. He looked at Sky.

“So, does my son have luck with all the girls around Equestria?” It was an honest question, the figure looked hopeful. Sky snickered.

“Well on the way here that mail mare Princess Celestia sent seemed to have a thing for him. Along with a lot of the mares in Colthio.” The smile on the figures face grew as he listened to how his son was a stud.

“But of course the guy hasn’t gone on ONE DATE!” The figures face gained a look that said he couldn’t believe it. Celestia on the other hoof had a smile that could light up the world. Sky looked at the figure, if he was surprised by that then he’d just loooove this.

“He hasn’t even had his first kiss.” That did it. The figure face faulted and Celestia was giggling like a school girl. Sky just sighed. Great, I’ve got one who’s acting like it’s the end of the world while the other’s acting like she just got the greatest gift of her immortal life! Sky just sighed and looked at the figure who was currently laying on the ground.

“If it helps I’m pretty sure it’s because the poor kid’s shy.” The figure looked up and had gained a small smile.

“My son, of all the things that I hoped you could get from me… That was definitely low on the list.” He had a small laugh before he looked at Celestia who had stopped giggling.

“So, I take it you like the agreement your father and I made?” Celestia smiled.

“Yes I do. I just hope he agrees as well.” Sky laughed.

“If you think he’ll just agree to be engaged to the Princess of Equestria you better not get your hopes up.” The figure and Celestia looked at Sky.

“And why is that?” Sky smiled.

“He’s not the kind of guy who just dates somepony he just met.” The figure snickered and shook its head.

“Ah my son, he truly is like his old man, a sly fox.”

-Solar pov-

I was flying around Canterlot  cursing my stupidity for not asking WHERE the library was! I let out a frustrated sigh as I flew overhead. I looked for any kind of building which could have been a library.

“Let’s see, that looks like a bakery. That looks like a cherry stand. That looks like a couple making out. AHA I THINK I’VE GOT IT!” I flew to the door of the library in hopes of going in but wouldn’t ya know it? The damn door was locked! I looked at the sun and saw that it was just now nine in the morning. I sighed. I didn’t have to be here for another hour. I sat in one of the chairs on the balcony and looked at the book that Celestia had given me. I read the title of the book bound in red leather.

“The Kitsune race, a complete informational guide.” I sweatdropped at the title. Wasn’t Kitsune Japanese for fox? I sighed and shook my head and grabbing the notes.

I stared at them both trying to decide which to open first. The letter from my father, or the one from Celestia. My curiosity of what the Princess could possibly want to give me outweighed reading the words from my dead beat dad. I opened her letter and read it.

Dear Solar,

I cannot tell you what your father is like but I can give you a clue. This book is connected to him in more ways than one. Also it was nice meeting you. I hope to see you in the near future.

Love, Celestia.

I blinked at the end in confusion. That just had to be a typo. Or at least I think it is, I mean the Princess of Equestria and ME! Yeah, next it’ll rain chocolate and a dragon will pop out of thin air and scorch me just for the helluvit! I took a second to rethink my luck with fire and sighed. OK maaaaybe the dragon thing could happen, but the chocolate rain thing would only happen when Aquacolt drowns and the Pony Torch starts swimmin’! I sighed and looked at Celestia’s letter again before I rolled it back up and magically replaced it with my father’s note. I took a second to breathe deeply and close my eyes to try and calm myself. I would at least give him credit for showing his face instead of hide for the rest of his life. I opened the letter and read.

Dear Son,

I know that the last thing you want is for me to show up after disappearing after you turned 3. I know your mother said that I left when you were born but it isn’t true. I loved you as much as any father could love their son and if I had the option I would have stayed to raise you. But our kind needed me. Now I know this is going to be hard to swallow but you must bear with it. You see son you are not a full pony.

I took a second to gasp. What did he mean I wasn’t a full pony, what else could I possibly. I looked at the book and put two and two together. My father was saying I WAS A KITSUNE! I stopped myself from ranting and continued.

By now I’ m guessing you’ve put two and two together. I’m sorry son but it’s true you are both a Kitsune and an Alicorn. I truly wish I could have taught you all about our people myself but there’s not much time anymore. You’re a grown man now and I will regret never getting the chance to help raise you. Anyway back to the matter at hand. You see son there is something which makes you stand out above the rest. You see son, you are a Prince.

I took a second to catch my breath. Me… a prince. I started to die laughing as tears crept to the corners of my eyes because of how hard I was laughing. It just went from impossible to no way in Hell! I wiped a tear from eye and gave out a happy sigh as I looked at the letter seriously. IF I really was a prince, and that’s a big if. Then why wouldn’t Mom tell me that I was one. I sighed and looked at the letter reading the end.

I guess this is a lot to take in so I’ll leave you with this son. I would like to see you after the Summer Sun Celebration to discuss an old arrangement I had made with a very old friend that concerns both you and Celestia. Neither of us can tell you what it is until then so please be patient. I guess that’s a bit much, after all you are my son. So your patience probably isn’t the best. So I asked Celestia to give you something to do while you wait. Alright I’ll go now, and don’t forget to make some friends while you’re here!

Sincerely, your father, Crimson Tail.

P.S. If you want to know more about our kind everything you would want to know is in the book.

OK, now I had to know what the hell was going on. I mean somehow Celestia and I are connected because of some deal my father made to an old friend! I just sighed and put my hat on my face to try and catch a couple minutes rest before I had to meet this Twilight. I looked at the book from the brim of my hat and just as before, curiosity had outweighed necessity and I tore open to the first page.

“Chapter one- Kitsune royalty.” I blinked at the ever-so conveniently placed object to start. I then got into the book reading the first three chapters before Anything happened. The first was exactly as it said it was. A family tree of the royal family and a brief history of what each ruler was like. Unfortunately there had only been four rulers. As it turned out the royal family was actually very small. Mostly because they rarely ever had children. In fact it said that the royal family had always been this small ever since Equestria came to be. I smiled for some reason when I saw a picture of my father. He was indeed a Kitsune. His coat was maroon colored with a dark crimson like mine for the tips on his ears. Then finally his hair was a chocolate color, maybe a few shades darker. It was short in a sense but it looked a lot like what happened to my hair when I don’t brush it after I got out of the shower, split ends and hair parting in random places. And his eyes were an electric blue like mine.

Chapter two was all about our elemental powers. You know things like lightning, wind, ice, and unfortunately, fire. There were a helluvah lot more but those are just examples. You see instead of magic like unicorns we could create, control, and manipulate any kind of element. But like magic it required training. I laughed as I remembered how easy it was for me to learn magic. I looked at my hooves and tried to imagine if I was a Kitsune instead of a pony. I mean yeah I was raised to  chivalrous, well mannered, most of the time. I was taught all types of ways to fight and had always gone through speed training. Hell I was wearing the training weights right now! I just used an invisibility spell on them. I sighed and remembered the third chapter. Which as you would expect was the mating season. I reeaaallly don’t want to talk about it. I felt a blush come up to my cheeks as I remembered how intense mating season was for both male and female Kitsune, and it was INTENSE! Just trust me on this if it wasn’t for my glasses I probably would have been a father myself! I shook my head. Good GOD this was fucking insane! I’ve only read three chapters and I’ve got… twenty eight left!

I took a look at the time and ‘CLICK’

“Whoa!” I fell inside the door and looked up to see a light purple mare with a dark purple mane with pink highlights and violet eyes staring down at me in surprise. I smiled nervously and did the same with my laugh.

“Um sorry to drop in like this but Princess Celestia sent me to go to Ponyville with a-“ I looked at the paper then back at the mare.

“Twilight Sparkle.” The mare looked slightly confused.

“Yes I’m Twilight Sparkle.” I smiled and got up picking up my hat and putting it back on my head as I did so.

“Oh well it’s nice to meet ya Twilight. My name’s Solar Eclipse but most ponies just call me Solar, or Sol.” I offered a hoof which she completely ignored s she watched two Pegasi guards fly up with a golden carriage and she frowned looking irritated. I just sighed and shook my head.

“Alright then, need any help with whatever you’re taking?” It was a simple gesture but Twilight juat ignored me and walked back into the library.

“SPIKE, IT’S TIME TO GO!” I watched as Twilight walked over to the carriage and sighed mumbling to myself.

“Try to be hospitable and wha’do I get? A cold shoulder.” I walked over to my book anf put it in my saddlebag along with the note from Celestia and my father. I turned back around and saw a baby purple and green dragon.

He looked at me weirdly and I smiled before I offered a hoof.

“Um, high I’m Solar.” The dragon took my hoof and shook.

“I’m Spike, um, what are you doing here?” I smiled and pointed at Twilight.

“The Princess asked me to go along with you and Ms. Cold shoulder over there to Ponyville to help check on preparations for the celebration.” Spike laughed.

“Yeah Twilight can be a little prissy sometimes.” I smiled, I liked this kid. Sure he was a fire-breathing dragon. But he was alright.

“Alrighty then I suggest you get on that carriage before they leave without you.” He looked at me quizzically.

“What about you?” I smiled and unfolded my wings.

“I don’t just have these to show off!” I noticed that Twilight had gasped after she saw I was an Alicorn and laughed. Yeah, usually when somepony see’s the horn they think I’m a unicorn. But then I pop these suckers out and I blow their minds! You think they’d ask about the clothes though. I smiled as Spike got onto the carriage and smiled. Myself and the Pegasi unfurled our wings and we took off to the location of Ponyville!

AAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNND CUT
