To the End of the World
Chapter 3: More explaining and past
Previous Chapter----2 months later----
Frost Bite and Twilight Sparkle decided to check on Night fang at the hospital
“I wonder if he will ever wake up” said Frostbite
“Don’t think like that stay positive, you told me he is a great stallion I don’t think he will give up that easily” twilight mentioned
“I know it’s just I tend to think of the worst possible outcome when something like this happens”
“I’m sure he will wake up you just have to give him some time, we’re here room 012”
Twilight slowly opens the door trying not to make a sound so she doesn’t disturb the other patients with Frostbite following behind her. They slowly walk to the other side of the room and go inside the curtains.
“He looks so peaceful” said Frost Bite
“I wonder what he is dreaming” Twilight questioned
“Hey look did you see that “Frostbite said while pointing at Night fang’s eye “his eye opened for a bit, I think he is waking up”
Twilight came closer examining his eyes “doesn’t look like it are you sure you’re not seeing things”
“I swear I saw him open his eyes I can’t be imagining things. Dam it Night hurry up and wake up I’m tired of being alone” Frostbite started crying into Nights shoulder “Please wake up”
“Now don’t tell me those are tears flowing down my shoulder”
Frostbite looked up and saw Nights bright soothing green eyes staring at her
“You’re awake” Frostbite yelled out while hugging Night fang
“I thought you were never going to wake up”
“Don’t tell me that’s why you’re crying”
“Why wouldn’t I be your where in a coma for 2 months they said you only had a 14% chance of waking up”
“You know me I would never die that easily”
“I’m just so glad you woke up”
“What were you doing the entire time I was out, were you able to find the map”
“Yes but, you know I’m not able to read that map”
“I’m sorry to ruin this family reunion but, I’m Twilight Sparkle your friend Frostbite here was staying with me while you were unconscious.”
Night fang quickly hid under the blankets “you should have told me there was another pony in the room”
“Oh yeah he is a bit shy around mares he doesn’t know”
“Just like Flutter shy huh” Twilight said
“Mumble… Mumble… Mumble…” mumbled Night fang
“Come on don’t mumble Night” Frostbite told him
“Hello Nice to meet you” Grumbled Night
Frostbite glared at him and Night hid back under the covers.
“Well we should get going where’s my jacket” Night fang stated
“It’s at my library with the rest of your stuff”
“Then let’s get going that map isn’t going to find itself”
He hopped out of bed and walked a few steps before face planting into the floor.
“Seems being unconscious for 2 months really takes a toll on you” he started to get back up slowly at first until he was on all four hooves “Okay, I’ll go slowly this time” he started to take a few steps before he almost fell again but was able to catch himself.
“Need any help” offered twilight
“No thanks”
It took them a while to get Night fang to finally start walking right they then hurried to the library. Throughout the entire walk Twilight bit her lip and thought to herself.
“Damn I was so close to getting with Frostbite, maybe I can get Night now but that is going to take so much longer”
They all made it to the library and Twilight guided them up the stairs and showed them to the guest bedroom where Frostbite had slept and kept her stuff in she proceeded to show Night where his stuff was located
“Yes my jacket I miss the old thing” Night said as he clutched his jacket close to his chest
Night slipped the jacket on and Twilight could have sworn she heard a ding come from it. Night fang turned to both of them with a grin on his face and said
“Where is the map?”
Frostbite reached into the pile and pulled out an old looking scroll that had gold handles she then handed it to him carefully as if one wrong move could cause it to fall to pieces.
“Here it is”
Night picked it up using his magic and unrolled it slowly revealing unnatural looking letters and strange objects drawn on the yellow paper with what looked like to be a blue ink. He laid it down on the floor and began over looking at the map.
“This isn’t the map or probably it is but not a map after all”
“Then what is it” twilight added
“It’s a message and I know from whom, Ladies pack your stuff we are going to Canterlot”
“Why, are we going to get help from Princess Celes-“Twilight managed to say before she was cut off by Night.
“NO! Don’t ever say that name around me, ever” he said furiously
“What’s so bad about the princess? I mean she’s our princess there’s no way she can be bad”
“You don’t know do you. The war, the things she’s done, ponies she’s killed you don’t know what happened 1002 years ago”
“Wait a thousand what, you’re crazy the only people who have lived that long are the princess and you are about my age”
“That’s another thing you don’t know those three princes you see aren’t the only ones, there have been many others, and they were sent to live with their mothers or executed. Luna and Celestia are the only two from them all that became royalty because they shared the same mother who was an alicorn as well as their father. The rest of the offspring were one of the other three races so they weren’t treated special. I was locked away and put into an eternal sleep were I slept for 997 years it’s been 5 years since then but I have learned much. But she, she told those lies on how Luna went evil I can’t believe it. That’s enough for now I’ll explain the rest on the train ride to Canterlot”
“Well let’s get going” said frostbite
Night only packed a few things since he had a feeling that he was going to come back. In his saddle bag was the message, his hydra fang, the knife his grandfather gave him, and an old book. He proceeded to go down the stairs and was about to walk out the door when he turned around and yelled
“Hey you two hurry up!”
“We’re going already!” Yelled twilight back
Before she walked out she yelled into the library
“Spike take care of the library I’ll be back in a few days”
When she and Frostbite met up with night they headed to the train station but twilight had stopped before they gotten closer.
“Wait I forgot to tell everyone I was leaving.”
“Please hurry we don’t have a lot of time” Frostbite said
Night fang didn’t pay attention and just followed along. They went from Rarity’s Boutique, all the way out to Applejacks Farm informing her friends that she was going to be gone for a few days.
“Ok I think that’s everyone now we can go”
“Finally that took up more time than I had though we have no time to walk to the train station” Said Night fang
“What do you expect us to do, fly” Replied twilight
“Not exactly” he said while charging up his horn. A bolt of black magic shot up into the sky causing a thunder cloud to appear above them.
“Let me guess we are going to ride the cloud” joke Frostbite
“Not the cloud” he managed to say as a bolt of lightning shot down upon them completely engulfing them as a second later they appeared at the train station.
“What was that?!” Both Twilight and Frostbite yelled in union
“An ancient teleportation spell I’m not able to teleport multiple ponies with the one created now a days”
“I thought we were going to be incinerated!” twilight yelled
“You thought wrong, well the train is here”
They boarded the front of the train immediately and took their seats in an empty cart which was at the back of the train since Night did not want anyone hearing the tale of the past.
“Wait we didn’t get tickets” Said twilight
“Don’t worry Night has got that covered”
“All I have to do is a bit of this and some of that and poof”
He said as he cast a cloak of invisibility on everyone and all the stuff they brought with them.
“Now for complete silence”
He then proceeded to cast a beam of black light that surrounded the cart then disappeared.
“There we go. No one can hear us unless they come inside the cart which I doubt”
“Now can you tell me what the princess did that was so bad” Twilight remarked
“I already heard this so I’m going to take a nap” Frostbite said as she lean onto Nights shoulder “Please try not to move a lot I don’t want to be interrupted”
“Where should I start? Oh yes the day of Luna’s Banishment. Celestia had unfortunately captured Luna I was held down by the guards forced to watch. Luna was in binds she had chains binding her hooves and a magic blocker was placed on her horn. She was in her true form, the form you ponies call Nightmare moon.”
“Wait what you mean true form” Twilight interrupted
“Well how do I explain this? To my knowledge two of the three princesses can access their true forms at will. Only certain ponies have a true form. When in true form ones magic will get stronger their bodies will change substantially. You’ve seen Luna’s so I don’t have to explain what hers looks like but, Celestia’s true form is vile her coat Turns a pale gold, her mane and tail not hair but a burning flame, and she was in this form when she banished Luna.”
“The way you explain it sounds gruesome”
“That’s because it was. Anyways back to what I was saying. Celestia made sure I had watched every second of the spell. She had made sure that Luna had suffered greatly every second of it. I tried to look away but the guards kept me in place and my eyelids open. The spell was almost as identical as that teleportation spell I had used earlier. Except instead of it being a circular cloud it was more of a column leading straight up towards the moon. At the base of the column was an opening sort of like a doorway. Celestia had her guard’s place Luna into the opening once placed in there Celestia’s magic took action instead of the purple lightning bolt that usually appears a red one struck down on Luna engulfing her body in red lightning. Her screams filled the sky as I was forced to watch every terror filled second. Soon her body was slowly lifted for a few feet then was warped through the column in seconds she was on the moon. Celestia teleported her and I above the moon where she cast a barrier spell on it which covered the whole moon. I saw the chains and magic blocker melt off due to the lightning it took a few seconds which felt like hours, for Luna to get up but when she tried to use her magic to escape. It was useless the spell was too powerful for her until two years ago when she escaped.”
“Wait a minute. How come you were the only one there where was everyone else.”
“It’s because I was the second in command if she were to get captured or worse, killed, I was to take over but that wasn’t the only reason me and Luna were close.”
“Wait how close were you do you mean-“
“That’s enough for now we are here the rest will be explained in due time. Frosty wake up were here.”
“Huhh. What. I’m up.” she said
“Let’s go we’re here”
They proceeded through the carts but not before Night fang undid the spells on the cart they were in. Once they got off a dark purple guard with amethyst colored armor and batwings told them to follow him. They were rushed into the castle and stopped in front of a double door the left door had a crescent moon on it with the same weird language that was on the message carved into the border it. The right door had a sun in the center with the elements of harmony surrounding it.
“Well ladies it’s time for us to get started” He said as the doors started to open.
