Chapter 2: Curious

The sound of Luna's running hooves faded away in the distance. My head still hurt. But, damn you, curiosity! You got the better of me again. But, sorry, I'm not a cat. Surely a peek around the place wouldn't hurt?

I stuck my head out the open doorway. Then again, it really wasn't my head was it? I looked around the hallway. There were doors to other rooms. There were little golden plates on each door that said things like "Princess Luna" or "Bathroom".

I walked around the place for a bit despite my difficulty with having four legs and found myself in a large spectacular room. It was beautifully decorated and had that feel... that kind of... how should I put it? Let's just say it looked very... 'royal'. In the middle sat a large throne. It looked very comfortable too. I was about to try sitting on it before SLAM! A white pony wearing ridiculous-looking golden armour smashed himself through the large wooden doors.

"HOLD IT!" He shouted.

"AH! I'm sorry I touched the throne!"

The white stallion ran up to the throne, examined it very carefully before brushing of a tiny little speck of dust.

"You may sit down now, Your Majesty."

I stared at him blankly. What just happened?

"What?" I said.

"I, ummm... its my duty to make no dirt, no matter how small, would get into Your Majesty's royal coat, Your... Majesty." He replied, looking very nervous.

I looked down at him and he quickly dropped down to the floor and started begging me.

"Please don't send me to the moon, Your Highness. I am but a poor miserable guard!"

Send him to the moon? Was he serious? Where did these ponies get such a idea? Why would I want them on the moon? Space exploration? Colonization of extraterrestrial worlds?

"Uh, okay. I won't send you to the moon. *troll face* But on one condition."

He looked up at me with big puppy dog eyes.

"You can forget about that 'no dirt on Your Majesty's coat' thing. I can take care of my own coat. Deal?"

"THANK YOU, YOUR HIGHNESS!" He got up and scurried back through the huge open doorway.

"I wonder where Luna is right now?"

Earth? She said she was from Earth? The zebra was right all along? What was that rhyme again? From Earth it would come, and unrest it would... rain? No, that doesn't rhyme. Whether it rhymes or not, I have to ask Miss Zecora more about this.

I ran to the balcony and let my wings carry me through the air. It felt so relaxing to fly in the cool mountain sky of Canterlot. But there is no time to enjoy the breeze, or destruction would be released! I'm getting better at this whole rhyming thing, aren't I?

The Everfree Forest... ungoverned by Equestrian laws. In every sense of the word, in fact. I wonder why Miss Zecora would even choose to live in a place like that? You'd think it was for the flowers and herbs, but she actually buys them from the florists in Ponyville.
