Just Another War

It was another dreamless, restless, sleep. Azure saw black. That's all she saw for a while. She was to tired to open her eyes, so she thought it would be better to sleep more.

"Azure! Wake up sweetie!" She heard a voice say. Forcing her eyes open, she saw a blur. A red and green blur.

"C-Cherry?" She manages to say. And she tries to raise a hoof to her friend.

"Shhhh. Rest now." A different voice tells her. She jumps when she feels something running through her mane. She turns to her right to see a cream and silver coulored pony.

"Silver!" She shouts happily. Trying to sit up, a sharp sting comes from her chest and she winces. Lifting a hoof, she places it on her chest.

"What happened? A-and why can't I see very well?" She asks.

She watches the blurs she knew where her friends get up, and walk out the room. Replacing them was a dark blue blur, and a black and white one.

"Drink this, miss Azure." The black and white one told her.

"W-what is it?" She asks, the vial of liquid getting closer to her.

"A cure too your sight, miss Azure." It tells her. She dicides she doesn't have a choice, and drinks it.

It was like sludge, it slowly oozed into her mouth and down her throught. 'this tastes worse than raisins!' she thought. But true to the word of the black and white blur, she regained her sight. Looking around, she recognizes the room. She's in Canterlot hospital. She turns to the things that where previously blurs and recognize Zecora and Luna.

"Welcome back, Azure Aura." Luna tells her. "I would suggest you turn back to a pony, don't want to scare bypassers." Hearing Luna say that, Azure looks at her Hooves. She sees that they aren't actually hooves, but claws!

"Dammit..." She says to herself and closes her eyes, thinking. Hoping to find the same voice that helped her transform.

Time to sleep? it asks her.

Time to sleep. she tells it. And she feels the same warmth she felt when she first changed. But it didn't hurt nearly as much. And It was over before she knew it.

Opening her eyes, she looks at the hooves she's come to love.

"What happened? Why am I here?" Azure questions the two in the room.

"We were attacked. I knew vampires hated lycans, but I didn't know to what extent. They came in with Griffin arms and completely shot up the place. Killing three and wounding a couple of others, including you." Luna tells her. Her eyes growing wide with realization, Azure tried to sit up again. She was successful, she felt no pain.

"The potion I gave you, also healed the hole in you." Zecora says.

"Can I go than?" Azure asks them.

"No, you cannot." A nurse says, walking into the room. "Oh! Princess!" The nurse yells surprised. She bows.

"Please, do not bow." Luna tells her. Complying, the nurse stands up and walks over to Azure.

"Even if Zecora managed to heal you, your body must rest. It's taken trauma and must take time to adjust to the spontaneous healing." She tells Azure, earning a groan of disapproval. "Well, I'll leave y'all to it. Have a nice night." The nurse tells them, walking out.

"I suppose there is time to explain some things." Luna tells Azure.

"You do that, princess. I haven't slept in a while, I'm going home to rest." Zecora tells Luna. Nodding to Zecora, Luna walks up to Azure.

"I guess I'll start."

"So the reason that vampires hate lycans is because they feel like you favor lycans more than them?" Azure confirms.

"Correct. Now how they got ahold of Griffin Arms, I do not know. They where illegalized quite some time ago." Luna tells Azure.

"I think your hanging out with Zecora a little too much." Azure jokes, causing them both to laugh.

"Is the Lycan group here in Canterlot the only one?" She asks Luna.

"No, their all over equestria. Even one in your home town of Ponyville. I suggest you go join it." She tells her.

"I definitely will." Azure says. Silence held awkwardly for a few minutes untill there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Luna yells for Azure. The door squeeks open and three ponies walk in. The first to walk in was a red coated pony, her mane red aswell. Rosy, her name is. Second to walk on is a yellow coated mare, white mane. Angelica, Azure recalled. The last pony brown coated and black maned pony. Tamer.

"Your awake!" Rosy happily yells, trotting over to Azure. Angelica and Tamer following her.

"About time!" Angelica says, laughing. They all go to the right of Azure.

"About time?" Azure asks. "How long was I out?"

"Only a day." Tamer says. "She's just being dramatic."

"Well, I suppose I'll leave you alone." Luna says to them.

"Bye!"

"Sleep well, Luna!"

Azure let's out a deep sigh after walking out of the building.

"Being cooped up for two days can really cramp ya." Azure tells her friends. Everypony is there, Cherry, Cloudy, Silver, Sunset, Rosy, Angelica, Tamer, Zecora, and Luna. It was a full crowd.

"Everypony!" Luna yells from behind the group. They all turn to look at her." I suggest we give Azure her space. Let's all go home. Allow her to decide what she wants to do." Luna tells them all. With a nod from everypony, they all say goodbye, and walk away. Leaving just Luna and Azure.

"Thank you, Luna. There was do many of them." Azure thanks.

"Of course, now, run along home. You should get some real rest." Luna tells her.

"Can you walk with me? It's quite a walk, and I don't want to do it alone."

"Of course, Azure Aura." Luna says, staring to walk alongside Azure.

"You can call me Azure, you don't need my last name." She says to Luna.

"Alright, Azure." Luna responds.

"So, there's a war now, huh.." she asks the princess. "And I'm in it. Does the public know about lycans and vampires?"

"No, only ponies a few ponies here and there. Like shop keepers and store managers." She responds.

"Then how well is this gonna go over? Sooner or later there will be deaths in view of the public." Azure says, yawning.

"Yes, that is true. But we will deal with it when it comes. In the mean time, I don't think you'll withstand this walk. I'll transport you there with my magic." She says her horn glowing purple.

"Oh, and Azure." Luna says.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry for dragging you into Just Another War." She says, before teliporting Azure.
