Rags To Riches

A Midnight Dance

The two weeks that followed Ponyville seemed slow with light training with Spitfire who was more than happy to hear about my success. So happy in fact she insisted I began learning more refined swordsmanship and sparing with almost all the guards. Speaking of swords though Celestia was more than surprised to see me with Solaris. The training for its use will start later I've been told but putting most of my regular daily crap behind me. The curiosity of the princesses and anyone else that knows about me has been peaked. Everyone seems to be looking into my ancestors and if I'm related to the old human nobility. The strange pony named Eye who had helped me with my armor was now using a magic spell on some forcibly donated blood to figure out. If I am I will know in a month or so but the pile of question's will get a lot bigger if I am.

Those problems aside I'm currently standing in a fresh blue and black suit Selene shining proud on my neck. The silver crescent shimmered in the moon light. The suit was made for quote on quote mission detailing. The full moon shined through the stained glass of the throne room. A certain night princess had planed it and if on cue slow brain numbing music seemed to just resonate around me as Luna strolled into the room in a ball dress its blue and black matching my suit.

"So we get all dressed up to talk about what we already know." She smiled at me

"Sometimes ponies are a lot more complicated than they need to be Sun."

The comment made me smile, "Well Sun we are also turning you into a gentlemen for the next Grand Galloping Gala."

"If the Counsel will even let me attend that is." We began to dance and talk about Ponyville the slow rhythms just a base for our movements.

"Luna if this becomes normal I'm going to be a pro ballroom dancer by the time the gala comes around."

"That would be funny to see Sun but that means you must learn to be more comfortable in the presence of mares." Can't have you screwing up with the elements at the Gala", she giggled and I turned red. "I want to discuss something serious real quick."

"I'm all ears Luna."

" Your connection with Solaris and Selene has grown even stronger since Ponyville even if you haven't felt it. I believe It's time for you to awaken Selene."

"It just kind of just happened with Solaris and it just feels second nature now I don't know how I can trigger it." Luna's smile stretched her face, she had planned for that answer.

" Well it's a full moon so It will be easier for you to call upon the sword of the moon. Just stand in the light and feel its power, let it flow through your veins." Luna snaps her fingers and we're on the roof of the castle. Just like my nights in Ponyville the night air gave a rush but it felt stronger now.

Luna's gaze was full of anticipation as the necklace on me began to glow. " Sun you are a creature of the night ever blessed with the embrace of the shadows the awakening of the sword marks a milestone towards mastery of the dark arts."
The necklace flashed a bright white. The sword in my hands had a black blade with Blue T hilt with a Black crescent moon right were the blade met the grip .

A foreign feminine voice invaded my head, "I'm back baby!"

Thinking at the voice like I do with Solaris, " Are you Selene?"

" Yes and I'm guessing you are the new hot shot wielding me."

" My name is Sun and yes I'm the new guy. "

"That's kinda ironic your holding a moon sword and your name is Sun. Well Sun I promise just by feeling your power we're going to have a long go, talk to you later." With that the sword converted to a necklace and landed In my hand .The magic seemed to bottle neck in my system after summoning the sword unlike Solaris causing the world begins to spin. My eyes close as I stumble. Luna's snicker at me passing out reaches my ears as my body began to shut down.
