I stood in the doorway of the throne room smirking. I saw the mane six staring at me. I saw All but Fluttershy shocked, but she then looked shocked but it looked fake. I turned to Twilight and saw a small filly. I widen my eyes. Oh my god it's Nyx! And she looks more adorable up close then hearing about her. Why no one drew an anthro Nyx yet is beyond me.
I then saw the guards pointing their spears at me. I saw two of them had different weapons. One with a greatsword and the other with axes. I also saw Blueblood glaring at me with a black eye. I also saw Celestia and mom looking at me. I took a few steps forward and everpony stiffened. I frowned at them.
“Well this is a lovely welcome I think, but I had worst.” I muttered.
“You have guts to coming here.” The mare with the axes said.
“Wasn't I invited?” I asked. She snorted.
“Don't know, but you made it easier to find you.” I was going to say something but I felt something cold rush past me. I turned and saw mom glaring at me. I gulped at her glare. It was a thing of nightmares.
“Um… Hi.” I said to her. She closed her eyes and frowned.
“You…” she began.
POW!!!
“Idiot!!” She yelled as she hit me over my head. I bend over in pain.
“Ow!!! What the hell was that for!” I yelled back. I rubbed my head as I glared at her.
“Why did you come here!” She said. Everyone else stared at us as we yelled at each other.
“Well excuse me for coming here, you headed off and I decided to follow you.” I told her. She rubbed her eyes.
“And why did you follow me?” She asked angrily. I shrugged.
“Because I thought you wanted me to come.” I answered.
“If I wanted you to come I would of said ‘can you come with me.’” She said. I crossed my arms.
“Then you should've said that.” I pointed that out. Her eye twitched.
“It was a given! I didn't need to say it!” she yelled.
“Well you are terrible at that.” I told her. She groaned a bit.
“Hey, you thing!” I heard someone yell out. I saw Blueblood out of my eye.
“You have the nerve to speak to somepony higher-” He was cut off as well turned to him.
“Shut up Blueblood!!” we both yelled at him. He reared back at that.
“Sister, is there something that you forgot to say?” Celestia asked her. Mom looked at her and looked like she was looking for the right words.
“You didn't tell her yet?” I asked her. She slumped a bit and sighed.
“I was going to when we’re were alone but everything kinda went out of hand.” she answered me.
“Do you want me to say it or should you?” I asked her. She looked like she was thinking about it but someone got impatient.
“Oh for buck sakes somepony say something!!” Rainbow yelled. Twilight glared at her.
“Rainbow! Language!” She said. Rainbow winced at that. I rolled my eyes. Screw it.
“My name is Blake Oíche, I'm her daughter.” I said bluntly as I pointed at my mom. I saw all of them went wide eyed, everyone but Fluttershy since she knew before hand. I heard I sigh from mom.
“You talk like your father, straight to the point.” I smiled and looked at her. I saw her covering her ears. “You might want to cover your ears.” I looked at the rest of them and covered them.
“WHAT!!!!”
After a few minutes of sorting stuff out, mostly Blueblood fainting which was funny, we headed to a room to sit in. Everyone except Cadence and Shining since they needed to head out to the Crystal Empire (I apologise to Shining for kicking his ass along the way) and the two guards that I found out are the two captains of the Solar and Lunar guard Solar and Umbra.
So me, the mane six, Celestia and mom sat in a room with a table that was used for talking internationl business. Luckily there was water. I didn’t realize that I was thirsty since between me and mom we drained three pitchers of water. I sat beside mom at the table, even though part of me hated her for abandoning me another part of me wanted to stay close to her. As if this was all a dream.
We told them the story about me and earth and well everything. All but the fact that dad was a demon, it seems that they don’t like demons here. I saw the main six sniffle and some started to cry. I saw Twilight looking at me to Luna in fear, I narrowed my eyes at her. Why is she afraid of… oh right, what happened at the castle. After we finish Celestia looked at mom with sadness.
“So that’s why you hid thing behind my back, you were trying to find a way to find your daughter.” Mom nodded and put her hand on mine.
“Ever since I returned for my banishment I wanted to find her but with all the portals closed and still adjusting to the times I couldn’t find a way other than making one.” Mom said sadly.
“Then why didn’t you tell me! I would of understand.” Celestia said. Mom shook her head.
“You were still recovering from my banishment and when times I would try to ask something would happen.” I looked at her and saw that she was on the verge of tears “And I would sound selfish for asking, but I just wanted to see her once over the years.” She turned to me.
“I missed so much of your life, times that you needed me to be there but wasn’t,” She put her head in her hands and started to cry. I stiffened and looked awkward at the whole thing. Celestia went over and hugged her. After a few moments she looked at us.
“I think today has been a long day, I suggest you all return home for the day,” She looked at me. “I will asked the servants to set up a room for you.”
“Thank you, Princess.” She arched a brow at me.
“After today I believe that you have the right to call me your aunt.” I shifted at her.
“Umm no, well not yet I’m still iffy on the hold thing, and when I do I’m not calling you auntie.” I told her.
“Noted.” We then left the two of them alone and we all walked to the front doors of the castle.
“Sooo, I know that this is not a good time to ask but what’s your world like?” Rarity asked. I saw Applejack glared at her.
“Rarity, yer right about that it’s not a good time to ask,” She started but I cut her off.
“No, it’s fine truth is that my world is kinda shit. My race is slowly killing the world with pollution that’s poisoning the sky and water and all in all it shit.” I told them. I heard gasps from them.
“But aren't there anyone controlling the sky and water?” Rainbow asked. I shook my head and extended my wings.
“Truth be told my race didn’t have wings and sure there are other trying to fix it and have made so progress but it will take sometime.” I told her. We walked in silence for a bit until Pinkie spoke up.
“Sooo what kind of parties do you like?” She asked. I looked at her in confusion.
“Why?” I asked. She smiled a bit.
“Well since you’re here I think that you need a welcome party! So I thought I would ask what kind of parties you liked.” I stared at her for a moment and chuckled.
“Pinkie I know that you’re trying to help but I think I need to take a rain check on that party, I’m still need to get use to this.” She nodded as we came up to the main doors. They all left but Twilight and Nyx. I looked at her for a moment.
“Umm Twilight your friends are-” She then clapped her hands together and bowed.
“I’M SORRY!” She yelled. I jumped back at that. I looked at her and to Nyx who was also surprised.
“Umm, what?” I asked. She looked at me.
“I said all those things back at the castle of the two sisters and almost hurt you, I was just stressed with being a new princess and the demons attacks and, and…” I covered her mouth and looked at her.
“Twilight don’t worry about it, if I was in your shoes I would of did the same thing and that’s behind us now.” I removed my hand and looked at her then at Nyx.
“Listen, today has been a long day, I think you should take your daughter and girlfriend out and relax.” I told her. She stared at me for a moment and nodded.
I watched them leave. I saw Twilight holding Nyx’s hand and felt pain in my chest. I looked at my hand for a moment and shook my head. I went to look for a maid or somepony. When I found them I asked about my room and they showed me where it was.
As I opened the door I saw that there was a big bed that looked fancy. I took off my pants and flopped into bed. I looked at the the window and sighed a bit.
“Today was something huh.” I said to myself. I lifted my hand and stared at it.
I didn’t leave my room for some time to the point that the sunsetted and the moon was up. I stared at the moon knowing that my mom did that. I stared at it until I heard a knock at the door. I wonder if it’s another maid or servant? The last few that came went red when they saw me without pants on. It was funny at times. I went over and opened the door and saw it was mom.
“Hey, Blake.” She said. I shifted a bit.
“Hey.” I I said softly. We stand there for a bit until she spoke up.
“Today was a weird day huh.” She said. I nodded and looked around. I saw that no one was in the halls.
“Yeah it was, like finding out that your mom is the alicorn of the night can make someone's day.” I told her. She smiled a bit at that. She then looked at me and her smile fell.
“Blake I wanted to tell you that I’m sorry.” She said. I was going to say something but she stopped me.
“No I need to say this, I abandon you and I can’t just say that I’m sorry for that, I missed so much of your life because I was scared, so scared that I would hurt you if I wasn’t in control, and after I was cured I couldn’t come back, I understand that you won’t forgive me for what I have done but I want you to know one thing.” She reached out and took my hand. I stared at it for a moment. It felt warm.
(Optional)
“I will always love you Blake, you’re my little angel and that will never change.” I looked at her as she said that. I looked at her hand as I hold it.
“It’s... it’s fine, don’t worry about it. We all make mistakes in our lives.” I told her. She frowned at me and nodded.
“Well, I guess I should leave you to sleep then.” She began to pull away but I didn’t let go. “Blake? You can let go of my hand no-”
“Can I ask you a question.” I asked her. She looked at me for a moment.
“Of course child.” I licked my lips a bit. I still hold her hand.
“You're also the princess of dreams right?” I asked. She was silent for a bit.
“Yes I am.” She said. I felt tears began to fall.
“So tell me, is this a dream?” I asked her. She looked confused until I looked at her. “If so then please, don’t let me wake up.”
“Blake…” She began as I put both hands on hers.
“Nineteen years I waited for someone to adopt me, even though I stopped caring I still hoped someone would.” I saw memories of the orphanage. Me waiting for a family to take me. Seeing other kids being taken away and wishing for that to be me. I felt my pain of all those years.
“And know that I found out that you are my mother I felt something in me that I pushed so far down. The fact that I can see you. So if this is a dream don’t let me wake up.” I looked up at her, Luna the Princess of the Night and my mother. My tears kept coming but I didn’t care.
“I can’t lose you again, I can’t handle it if I did.” I sobbed. I closed my eyes and let my tear run. Please god let this be real, please. I then felt two arms wrap around me and opened my eyes and saw that she started to hug me.
“Oh Blake, this is real and this isn’t a dream. If it was then I wouldn’t want to wake up either.” I felt her shake and sob as well. I hugged her. She felt warm. I didn’t let go, I didn’t want to.
“Please,” I sobbed into her shoulder. “Please don’t leave me mom, I don’t want to lose you.”
“My child, my sweet angel I will never leave you, I will never will.”
We shared that room that night. For the first time in my life I felt like I was home.
It been a few weeks since that day and I been settling in pretty well. I got to hang out with mom more throughout the day since most of the time she has her Night Court twice a week. No one seem to want to come every night for complain about something that they can do themselves. So most of the time we talked and she teached me some things about my powers. Most of my magic came from her and Nightmare Moon oddly, shadow magic is supposedly advanced dark magic since it takes a huge toll on oneself, mostly I get really tired and hungry after using it. There many uses for it though, shadow walk allows me to travel short distances quickly and there’s something called shadow flight which make me go super fast.
“Shadow magic is labeled advanced magic but really it’s not, it’s just really useful at times.” She told me one time. I also learned some useful spells as well. Celestia told me that she planned a revealed thing to announce that I was Luna’s daughter and a princess but I shot that down quick.
“It’s not that I don’t want it, I just want them to not call the guards every five minutes on me.” I told her. So we just told the captains of the Solar and Lunar guard and some nobles. Blueblood was both shocked and pissed. He told both Celestia and mom that this has to be a mistake and I just glared at him. After one day I found him and threatened that I would shave his whole body and send pictures to everyone in Canterlot and in some cities over. He didn’t bug me after that.
Celestia stated that she saw more and more of mom in me when she got to know me better. She chuckled that when we snapped at a maid that almost dropped a jug of coffee. Most of the time I been practicing fighting. At first it was just some hand to hand stuff since I needed to figure out how to fight with wings but mom had some of the lunar guard to teach me some weapon training. I was good with the bow and knives, both the hand to hand ones and throwing. Now I carry a pair of combat knives and throwing knives. Sure I could summon some but it’s always nice to have some on hand.
I got letters for Cadence and Shining Armor at times. One of them was an apology letter from Shining for attacking me. I laughed at that. Over the weeks I gotten better with my flying and now I don’t crash into trees. I even found out that I could walk on clouds which are nice to take a nap on. No wonder Dash takes naps on them.
Over the last week I started to get bored with living in the castle. There was nothing to do, most of the nobles were rude and nothing happens. I went to mom to tell her my plan I thought of.
“You want to live in Ponyville? Why?” She asked. I found her in the library reading. I rolled my eyes at her.
“Because there’s nothing to do here and weird stuff happens there.” I told her. She stared at me for a bit.
“Well even though I want to spend time with you I have to admit that there’s nothing really exciting to do here.” She told me. She then thought about it and shrugged. “I don’t see the problem of you living there, just that you need to find a home and job there.”
I put my hand on my chin and thought about it. The idea came to me and I smiled.
“I think I got an idea.”
“You gotta be kidding me”, Mom said to me as I smiled. We stood in Ponyville in front of the building that I bought with a lot of bits. It was the same building I saw when I flew over the place, it’s the place across the coffee shop. It was two stories with a basement and has been outfitted with what I needed. It looked a bit out of place between the two buildings that were next to. It had a old victorian era style look to it and to get in you have to take five steps down to the door. It was also a small place but hey looks can be deceiving. Doctor Who taught me that. Out front was a sign with with seven symbols that surrounds the name of the place.
‘The Seven Sins Pub.’ I smiled at the name. Sure it sounded dark but it fits. I wanted to put in deadly but it would scare away some customers
“What’s wrong with it, I think it’s nice.” I said to her. She shook her head. Mom put on a disguise so she wouldn't draw attention to herself. She looked like a normal unicorn with blue fur and light blue hair. She shook her head a bit.
“You know that higher ranked demons take on one of those sins right.” She told me. I shrugged at her.
“Well I think it fits.” I turned to her and hugged her.
“Promise me to write to me.” She asked. I nodded to her.
“Once a month.” I told her. I let go of her and she looked at me.
“And if you need to talk to me right away use the dreamscape, it’s faster.” I smiled at that. One of the things she taught me is to control the dreamscape. Being the daughter to the Princess of the Night and Dreams has it upsides.
“Of course and if you want a drink just come on by.” I smiled at her. She raised an eyebrow.
“I will, maybe I will bring my sister along but I don’t think she will drink.” She leaned in to whisper in my ear. “Don’t tell her I said this but she can’t hold her drink.”
“Really,” I asked her. She nodded.
“One drink and she’s out, she also gets funny when she’s drunk.” She smiled evilly at me. I smiled back.
“You have a evil mind mom.” She laughed at me.
“Why thank you, now go on in, I left you something in your room.” She said to me. She headed to an alleyway and I was the shadows moved around her and she disappeared. I turned to the pub and went in.
The main room was roomy yet small with tables and chairs through . Along the wall was booths that could hold a few people. Max of seven. There was pillers throughout the room. Thirteen to be infact. There was thirteen booths, thirteen tables as well. I smiled at that. At the back was the main bar with empty shelves that will hold drinks and other stuff. There was also a small flat top there as well for me to cook small meals. It was also woodburning so in winter it will help keeping this place warm There was a door to the storage room and stairs to the basement and upstairs. I went upstairs to my home. It was the size of a small apartment with the living room and kitchen jointed and a one bedroom with bathroom.
I walked into my room and saw that there was a box on my bed. I went to the box and took one of my throwing knives and opened it. I saw that there was bottles in it. I took one out and read what it was.
‘Moonlight wine’ I read the label. I chuckled and took one of the bottles to the kitchen. I found a corkscrew and opened the bottle and poured myself a glass. The wine was a dark blue and purple colour. I swirled it a bit and took a sip. It tasted like blueberries. I chuckled.
“Thanks mom.” I said out loud. I sat down at my table and looked around. I sighed and leaned back. This is going to be fun.
Author's Note
It's odd. I both hate and enjoy writing sad scenes. Is it just me?
