Her Little Demon

Night had come by now, behind the window was across the vast glades and forests through which the river, the mountain passes, and the dark blue night sky were passing, in the center of it was a huge moon. It was already dark in the room, and completely quiet there. The only source of light in the room was a small candle, glowing with a bright yellow flame, giving a pleasant warmth, which stood on a desk made of pine wood. At the desk, Nightmare Moon was sat. She was a tall mare, she had a pair of wings on the ridge and a horn on her head, her coat was black, she had turquoise eyes with vertical pupils, on both sides of her rump, she had a cutie mark. It was a half-moon surrounded by a few purple spots. She also had a waving mane and tail that resembled a night sky with hundreds of flashing stars. She didn't wear her armor, just like the crown she received from Celestia. Any jewelry or armor was simply uncomfortable for her. Nightmare Moon's armor, made of double-tempered blue steel, was on a mannequin, next to which there were also weapon stands, on which there were various types of swords, axes, halberds, and spears, all made of the same material as the black alicorn's armor. There was also a huge bed in the room, on which there were several black pillows and a black quilt with a half-moon on it. In this bed... Was lay a small foal. He had a pair of membranous wings, his fur was black, the mane was white like snow. His eyes, which were now closed, had a blue color.

Nightmare Moon was sat at her desk and wrote in her diary, looking at her child from time to time. She was very restless. After all, her foal had nightmares very often, so... What if he has a bad dream at this moment?

It happened about three months ago, but I remember it as if it happened yesterday. First... I saw a black stallion with a white mane, membranous wings, yellow eyes with vertical pupils named Demonic Wing, and a day later a small foal, with blue eyes. A foal who didn't know who he was and who completely didn't remember anything. I remember taking him to Canterlot. Luna and Celestia became his aunts and I became a mother. Well, the little one is extraordinary, which he proved to me many times. About three weeks he learned he was a demon and... Maybe I shouldn't have told him that, because he was very stressed and sad when he learned it. When I write this, every time I look at my bed in which he sleeps. He has very often nightmares associated with Abyss, demons and... Also with me. I would love to help him, he is my baby, but neither Luna nor I can look into his dreams. It's possible that this is because the little one is a demon and that's what blocks my access to his dreams. He often woke up scared, stressed and once he woke up screaming. I'm trying to protect him, but I'm afraid I might not be able to do it and one day...

At this moment, Nightmare Moon stopped writing an entry in her diary, because she heard a quiet crying behind her. She turned and she looked at scared Wingy sitting on the bed, wiping the tears running down his cheeks. He was trembling with fear and his ears dropped.

Nightmare Moon immediately approached to bed. When the foal saw her, he immediately stepped back and looked at her with fear in his eyes - "Hey, calm down. It's okay" - She said, putting the hoof on his cheek. When the little one sobbed, she quickly moved closer to him, covered him with her wing and gently hugged him - "Shhh... It's okay, sweetie" - She said, gently hugging him and stroking his white mane - "Again, the same?" - She asked. the foal opened its watery eyes, looked at her and nodded - "What this time, little one?"

"I-it was this place... It was dark, terrible and... I heard voices" - He wiped individual tears running down his cheeks - "Mommy... These voices said they would hurt You, Auntie Luna, Celestia and... "

"Shhh, it's okay. It was just a bad dream" - Moon hugged him again, she kissed his forehead and began to sway him gently. Wingy was still sobbing, he was trying to say something again, but... - "Shhh, you do not have to talk. It's alright, sweetie, nothing happened. You were scared, am I right? " - The foal gently nodded, sniffling - "You don't have to be afraid anymore, you are safe, little one" - She kissed his cheek, Wingy moaned softly and cuddled up to the warm fur on her chest, Moon smiled and still tried to calm him down.

Moon gently swayed him and sang quietly, trying to calm down the foal somehow. Wingy didn't cry anymore, he was still shaking a bit but... He didn't cry. He only looked at the Nightmare Moon, who was holding him in her arms and smiling at him. It was then that someone was a knocked at the door, Moon put Wingy on the bed and went to the door. She opened them and she saw Luna. She was also an alicorn, although she was also significantly lower, her fur was navy blue, like her eyes. Her mane was waved and looked like a starry sky, and she had a half-moon on the sides but surrounded by black spots

"Hello, sister, I see you are still awake." - Luna said

"Well, I was going to lie down, but you didn't just come to pay attention to it, right?"

"Yes, tomorrow all the rulers from Equestria and abroad come to Canterlot and... I thought you could take part in the meeting."

"I'm sorry, but not really, I'm not going to interfere in your affairs." - Moon said firmly

"In that case, goodnight and..." - Then Luna looked at Wingy, who was looking at her - "Oh... Did he?..."

"Yes, he was having a bad dream, but everything is already fine."

"Can I go in?" - Nightmare Moon has let Luna enter the room. Luna walked slowly to the bed where the foal was sitting. She smiled warmly at him and sat on the edge of the bed - "Hi, little one. You've had a bad dream again, right?"

"Y-yes, I was in this place again..." - The little one said, nodding - "I was very scared, auntie. It was terrible there."

"The Abyss..." - Luna said very quietly. She gently embraced him with her wing - "It's okay, honey. It was just a bad dream, do you remember what I told you about them, right?"

"Y-you told that it's just an illusion and... And that I will not be hurt there."

"That's right. Listen... Until now, I don't know how to do it, but I'll try to do something with these bad dreams with your mom, okay?"

"O-okay."

Luna looked at him more closely, she could see that something else was bothering him - "Wingy, are you sure that's all?" - She asked

"I-I... Y-yes... That's all." - Wingy said, crouch slightly and his ears dropped.

"Wingy, if something happened..."

"Sister, enough. If he doesn't want to talk, don't force him." - Moon said, looking sadly at her child.

Luna kissed Wingy's forehead, "Goodnight, sweetie. Sleep well." - She stood up and headed to the door. She stopped for a moment, next to her sister - "Moon, I... I'm sorry, if..."

"It's okay, Lulu. Nothing happened." - Moon puts the hoof on her shoulder - "But please, next time be more forgiving, okay?"

"Sure" - She said, nodding and breathing with relief - "Goodnight, Moonie" - She said, leaving the room

The black alicorn laughed and shook his head. Both Luna and Celestia liked to call her Moonie. At the beginning... She was very disgusted and upset because of that, but now... When someone calls her Moonie, no matter if it was her sister or a random pony, she just laughs from it. After a moment she came to the bed where her little foal was sitting. Wingy reached out his hooves to her, Moon raised him and gently hugged him.

"Better, sweetie?" - She asked solicitously, stroking his white mane.

"Yes, Mommy. I feel better" - He said, then smiled slightly at her

Moon kissed his forehead and put him on the bed - "Mommy will back soon, okay? I just have to do something."

"Okay..." - He said obediently, watching her closely

Black alicorn went to the table and started writing again in her diary.

Wingy woke up a moment ago and he was very scared. Another nightmare associated with the Abyss, but it seems to me that he is hiding something from us. My sister, Luna, talked to him and... The little one is evidently afraid of something. I don't know what to think about it and maybe I should talk to him about it sometime, but not now. I don't want to interrogate him. It is very late, I'll try to lull him somehow and I think I'll go to sleep too, I'm tired.

Nightmare Moon closed her diary and extinguished the candle. The whole room became completely dark. She turned and started walking toward the bed. Wingy opened his eyes and looked at her, and she only smiled at him. Moon laid next to Wingy and gently hugged him. She covered herself and her baby with a quilt. She kissed his forehead and wrapped her wings around his small body - "Good night, little one. Sweet dreams." - She said, gently hugging him and stroking his white mane.

The little foal yawned, "Goodnight, mommy. I love you." - He said, hugging to her warm fur.

"I love you too, sweetie." - She said quietly, swaying him. Moon began to quietly sing a lullaby to help him fall asleep. After a while, Wingy fell asleep in her arms, hugged to warm fur on her chest. After a while, Moon also fell asleep with her little foal in her arms, who she loved him the most in the world and promised to protect him. She was even ready to give her life to save him from danger, just like any other loving mother.
