Inheritance of the moon
Rude awaking with a gift
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA loud and rather annoying knocking woke Midnight from his sleep. "Uh..." Moaning he would turn over, causing the red cover he had wrapped around him to fall on to the floor, that would be followed by another moan. Squinting he'd look at the window, the tip of his horn was glowing faintly as he opened the blinds to look out. It was...early...too early...why would some pony wake him at this time, the sun hung low, it was perhaps eight or so in the morning. His sleeping was well different from most normal ponies, normally he'd stay up all night with no problem and sleep a good portion of the morning away, unless the moon was new and then he just felt tired the whole day.
The knocking continued and as much as he wanted to stay in bed he knew it was rude to keep some pony waiting. Rolling over again he would attempt to roll out of bed, however thanks to a little red cover caught on his foot he ened up face planting on the ground. "Hold...on...ow..." Calling out the first part but keeping the ow fairly quiet, no pony needed to know he wasn't a morning pony. Again he'd push himself up on his hooves, his legs wobbled ever so slightly as he made his way from his room, through the kitchen, and to the door, the red cover trailing behind him. At this point the morning couldn't get terribly worse, being awake seemed to do that, so he pulled open the door. Outside stood a grey pegasus with a yellow mane, what really caught him though, which made him feel bad later, was the crossed look in her eyes. "Hello?"
The mare thrust a pile of envelopes and a box in to his hooves. "Mail! Bye Bye!" Then she took off with a sack of mail slung over her back. "What an odd pony... Midnight throught to himself as he closed the door, there was a lot of mail to go through it seemed.
Right, out of fifty letters only two were actually for him, one was from his parents and the other...Princess Luna? Setting aside the letter from his parents since it was probably something about where they were he would stare at the other letter, it was well pretty. It had only been a few days since the Summer Sun Celebration and she must have been busy trying to get used to well the world again, why would she have taken time to write him? Carefully he'd open the envelope with his horn, being careful not to rip the paper in any way. Slipping the paper out he would open it and read it.
Greets Midnight Breeze
We wanted to thank you for helping us return.to who we are. Yes we are aware that the elements
of harmor stripped us of the evil of Nightmare Moon, but had you not spoken to me then I might not have had the strength to over come her. We very much wish to see you again and to speak
in person and on normal turms if you would be willing to venture to Canterlot, If not we then we
do understand, it could be seen as a bad thing. However inside we have included a necklace for
you, it bares my symbol, we hope that it brings you luck and keep you safe, it is the least we can
do for you.
Sincerley Luna
P.S. It may or may not be enchanted, that is our secret
P.S.S Do not hold the envelope too close to your face.
A smile crept across his face, Princess Luna had taken her time to write him and send him a gift...Wait wat? Carefully he looked at the envelope, there was nothing inside it. "Maybe ...." Thats when there was a pop and puff from the envelope, magic smoke caused thim to reel and gag as he breathed it. "Thanks for the warning." Coughing it suddenly seemed there was something on his hoof and after clearing his eyes, blinking repeatedly, he saw a silver necklace. It was...beautiful, there in the middle of it there was Luna's official seal. It was light and the chain dangled from his chain, but that wasn't all, no he felt a tingle of magic from it. Carefully he'd use his own magic to lift the necklace over his head and around his neck, it felt warm against his coat.
Tempted as he were to stay here by the door he knew he needed to get moving about, otherwise he'd be tired through the whole day and that didn't do any pony any good. Taking a quick look at the other letter it turned out that it was indeed a letter about where they were, aparently the Apple family was going to help set up a new town and figured they'd help out with setting up. Glad that they had finally found something to do he picked up the cover and walked back to his bed, after all it was new and the least he could do was make a new one. After a few minutes he was finally ready to go outside in the morning air, had he mentioned he was not in fact a morning pony? But there was a library and a library that had books on magic.
Opening the door the fresh morning air greeted him, the breeze felt nice and the smell sweet. Before closing the door behind him he'd look around for any pony he might know but came up short, since there were only a few. The trip to the library wasn't that long of one, now that the celebration was over there weren't as many pony in town so the walk was nice and quiet. "Hopefully I can learn..." As he knew he was starting later, most unicorn foals learned the basics in school and he'd not attended that, no he kenw the bare minimal like telekinesis. Slowing his trott briefly he would run a hoof over the necklace, for some reason it gave him hope. It wasn't until this point that he realized. "Wait Canterlot?!" His eye twitched as a memory flashed through his mind, the same one from the previous night. "I...I..." Honestly he didn't know if he could go, of course he wanted to, but he didn't trust himself. "Yeah..that figures..." Maybe if he got better with his magic then he could go but not until then otherwise he was a danger to him and every pony around him.
