The Lunatic Guardian
Chapter 2: Night, Travel towards Ponyville (Edited)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next evening, Night woke up in Rose’s bed. Getting up out of bed Night walked out of the bedroom into the living room, seeing Rose laying on the sofa reading a book. Noticing Night she puts the book down on the table next to the sofa and stands up, "Good Evening Night, had a good sleep?" Rose asked her guest with a curious look on her face. She really wanted to make sure that she was being an excellent host.
"Good Evening Rose, yeah it was so good sleeping in an bed and not on an haystack, and how was your day?" Night spoke with her kindergarten vocabulary. Rose giggled finding it quite adorable.
"Ah, it was mostly boring.” Rose waved a hoof around with a smirk rolling her eyes. “But for now eat something. It’s here on the table.” She pointed to the table in question. “Some Apples and Fruit Sandwiches, Enjoy your meal," Rose said continuing to smile with a polite smile.
"Thank you for the meal." Night sits down and starts to eat her meal. Grateful to have something to eat at all.
"So while you were sleeping, I got something for you. Here's a little bag of bits for your travel,” Rose hooved over a small bag that jangled. “And I got you a backpack as well and something to eat and drink for your Journey, and a compass for your travel through the desert." Rose chirped while she was giving Night her gifts as she named them.
Night held her new backpack examining it. The colors matched her color scheme, being black and blue. "Tank you, I will pay you pay back, if I found out all my answers and I will pay you back even if you say that I don't need to," Night explained smiling at Rose. Her kindness was immeasurable.
"Well, you do that," Rose said nodding her head understanding the sentiment.
"Well I think I should go now, so I can go find answers fast about me, so Thank you for everything you've done, I will see you the next time." Night said with her childish vocabulary making Rose smile even more.
"Ok, I hope we will see each other again,” Rose yawned covering her open mouth with a hoof. “So good luck on your journey and I hope you find your answers~” Rose almost sang. “Well I should be going to sleep, so see you next time,” she said tiredly rubbing her eyes with her hooves.
After finishing her meal and packing her things and putting her Katanas at her sides: black on her left and dark blue her right. After putting her new black and blue backpack on her back right under her cape; she started moving towards the front door. Exiting Rose’s house, closing the door behind herself with a soft click.
Looking at her new compass she turned herself until the compass facing Las Pegasus. She spread open her wings quickly taking flight. The Flight was calm since nothing was happening. After arriving in Las Pegasus she stopped flying and went a little bit through the town.
After 15 minutes of wandering through the Town, she asked a pair of Ponys "Excuse me, can you tell me the way to the Train Station?" Night asked lost in the “big town” Though it was actually a city.
The two ponys stared up at Night in fear the alicorn towering over both of them. One of them nervously spoke up stuttering. "Y-y-yes-s we can!” The pony pointed, “Just g-g-go down t-t-this street along t-t-ill the next cros-s-ssing and t-t-then t-turn le-eft and just go straight forward!” The pony exclaimed scared of Night. “At the end of the street, you can see the train station!" The pony laughed nervously with his friend nodding her head just as nervous.
"Thank you." Night said simply heading off.
"You’re welcome!" After leaving the pair she overheard one of the ponys: "Who was that? She looks scary, especially with that red eye of hers." One said in a hushed whisper.
After hearing that, Night thinks:"I Should put my mane over the red-eye to prevent complications."shortly after thinking about it, she covered her red dragon eye.
After 30 more minutes of walking Night arrives at the Train Station. Walking to the ticket booth that was selling train tickets. "Hello, how can I help you?" asked the pony in the booth who was currently using a hoof filer. Holding it in her mouth, while she used it on her forehooves.
"Hello, I want to take the next train to Ponyville." Night said with a glimmer of hope in her exposed blue eye.
"The nechkt train to Ponyfille arries in 10 minites and dep’artures in 15 minites and a ticket for that train costs around 15 bits." The mare said with the hoof filer clenched in her teeth.
"Here are the 15 bits." Night said with a blank expression, her lips were in a thin neutral line.
"An hare is yur ticket, have a nic~e trip and a good nigt." The ticket booth mare said hoofing over the ticket to Night who took the ticket in her magic. Then the mare went back to what she was doing with her hooves.
"Thank you and good night for you to." Night said getting a weird look from the booth mare. Walking back to the tracks sitting at a bench nearby waiting for her train.
The train soon arrives and Night boards it. After doing a quick confirmation checking the ticket over, that it was indeed the train to Ponyville. On the train, Night sits down on a cushioned bench and relaxes looking out the window nearby seeing the moon. A feeling a calm and relaxing warmth wash over her.
The Conductor comes into the train wagon, causing Night who was currently the only one in the wagon to be snapped out of her trance. The Conductor walks over next to her bench and says: "Excuse me miss, your ticket please," He asked politely with a calm smile.
"Oh, good evening sir, here is my ticket," Night said levitating her ticket towards him.
"Good evening, okay your ticket is good." The Conductor said with a smile pulling out a hole puncher. Puncturing the ticket with a hole.
"ähm Sir, how much longer till we arrive in Ponyville?" Night asked him curiously not wanting to waste any time.
"Only about 30 minutes till we arrive in Ponyville, any other questions?" asked the Conductor with a smile on his face.
"No, no other question anymore, thank you and have a good night."
"Ok, have a nice safe trip and a good night to you," The Conductor finished his farewell and left the wagon. Leaving Night all alone.
After 30 minutes the Conductor came back in the wagon and told Night: "We will arrive shortly. In Ponyville," and went off to the next wagon.
"So it's about time to see Ponyville, I hope this Twilight Sparkle can really help me."Thinks Night, as the Train stopped. Getting out of the Train she looked at a clock that was hung on a billboard with all the times for the train. On a clock, she saw that it was already 04:30. So Night asks the pony at the ticket booth on “how to get to Princess Twilight’s home”.
"Oh, Princess Twilight’s home? it's right on the other end of Ponyville, just follow this street till the end and you will see it," The stallion explained casually like if he was asked that question a lot. Night thanked the information-pony for the information and started to make her way flying to Twilight's castle as fast as she could.
When Night finally arrived at the Crystal Tree Castle she looked over at a pink Clock that was conveniently placed on a wooden stump. Seeing that it was now 05:00. It confused her on why it would have been there in the first place."Well I don't have much time left for this night so, just knock,"Night thought knocking on the twin crystal doors.
A few minutes later, Starlight Glimmer opens the door and looks up towards Night and asks: "Good morning, how can I help you?" She asked with a puzzled expression seeing a huge pony in front of her, that was decked out with weapons and armor. That obviously screamed warrior and maybe a hardcore cosplayer.
"Good morning I need to talk to Twilight Sparkle, and please I don't have much time for this night," Night said with a serious-looking face.
"Okay. . . I’ll get her fast. . . ? Come on in and wait in the entrance hall," Starlight Glimmer said before running off to get Twilight.
It's 05:30 when Twilight and Starlight both arrive in the Entrance hall. "Good morning, what is the Problem?" Twilight asks with a curious expression eyeing Night up and down.
"I have a few problems and I have not much time to explain right now, for now, I can say that I am cursed so that I fall asleep every morning at 06:00 and can only wake up at 20:00. Another problem for me is that I don't know who I am, where I am from, and what my job is. So can you help me?" Night asked with a hard look in her blue eye.
Twilight nodded her head dumbly "I can try but because of the curse you have, I think we should take you to our guest bedroom, follow me." They all walked fast to the guest bedroom while they walked Twilight spoke: "While you’re asleep I will try to look into finding out as much as possible about this curse of yours. I will also ask my friends to help out too." Twilight said with a prideful smile.
"Thank you so much, Twilight Sparkle." Arriving at the guest bedroom now that it was already 05:50. So Night moved quickly putting her backpack, her armor, cape, and her two katanas beside the bed. Then climbing underneath the soft covers.
"Could I check your body and your cutie mark to look for it? It might be helpful when finding it somewhere in one of my books?" Twilight asked explaining her reasoning.
"Do what you have to do, to find out who I really am and while you don't know my name you can call me Night, it's a name a friend I met and who suggested me to get to you for help, but for now I am sleeping good day." And it's 06:00 and Night falls asleep right on time. Just as the sun rose in the sky.
