Moonlit Memories

Moonlit Memories

Sunrise felt guilty because she lied to the dark red stallion again and she bottled it up for a good twenty minutes before she spoke up again, this time to tell the honest truth, no matter how heartbreaking the situation this stallion was put into from his brother’s will, she had to do this, even she was ordered not to.

“I’m sorry” she began “I lied, i was told by Princess Celestia and Luna not to tell you the reason we are summoning you to Canterlot, but if you want, you can wait and hear it from the Princesses themselves”

She was going to be in some deep trouble with the Princesses if she continued, but she couldn’t let him wait and hate her for lying when they got to the city, and Moonlit was never patient, and he didn’t like Celestia, he had no trouble with Luna, but if Celestia was in the room, he wasn’t stepping foot in there, and he asked her to continue, and she did.

“You see, it’s about your brother, Captain Lead Wing”

“Solar Skies” Moonlit interrupted with a bet of anger in his voice “His name was Solar Skies, i don't know what he called himself, but his actual name was Solar Skies.”

The Civil Servant continuing from the interruption “He..” she was cut off again.

“I swear, if he is getting remarried, imma just have to help him find a new wife next time he ends up divorced for the third time, he has a energetic souls that could probably compete with Pinkie Pies any day of the week!” the two chuckled, but the mare quickly remembered the situation and continued.

“No, him and his crew was returning to port after battling some pirates, and one caught him off guard, and sunk his ship twenty miles off the coast, no survivors of his ship, including himself” Sunrise forced back tears as Moonlit’s face drawn a blank, he was in shock, one of the best captains, his own brother, sunk by a single pirate ship?, this couldn't be true!

“He managed to win against three pirate ships at once and you are telling me that a single ship sunk him!?!?” he was in denial “There is no way he died from that!”

“He had only a few cannonballs and 1 barrel of gunpowder left, the pirate was fully stocked, he ran out of things to use, and the pirates gave his ship hell!” Sunrise finished her quick explanation, and turned and looked at Moonlit’s expression, the gravity of the news made him land the zeppelin, and take time to come to terms off with his brothers death off the side of the road, and he returned to the zeppelin and took off again, he thanked the mare for being honest, even though she would probably lose her job for it, and he made only one request to the mare

“When we get there, tell Celestia to leave the room, she will understand why i would make such a rude request.” Sunrise stared at him, wondering what Celestia had done to make him so mad at her, but her trail of thought was cut off be the enraged stallion.

“Actually, tell her to stay, and to keep the guards from intervening with this matter, i have a bone to pick with her, and if she is lucky, i won't take her bones” the mare was now worried and scared once again by this stallion, he wasn't going to go easy on anything that got in his way in Canterlot, so those snubs better not make him mad, or there might be a new body or two in the Canterlot Morgue.
