Awakened Lost

The orphanage was not kind to me. Well, it wasn't kind to any of us. But it always seemed like I was treated worse. I think it was my eyes looking back. My near glowing purple eyes. It didn't help that when I got mad, my sclera turned black...

It was then that I truly Awakened.

Lotus backed up against the bed post, hyperventilating as one of the Tremiria, or ponies as they are called in her native language held a needle of some kind. She had seen those before, used to administer poisons. She was not about to let this mare try and kill her, it wasn't going to work!

It was at that moment that Luna walked in and sighed. Casting the spell, she began to speak, abeit more clearly. "Doctor no try to poison you. Me felt same-to-you way when me had to get needle in arm. Needle for preventing bad sick." She said before coming over the the still terrified Lotus. "It okay. Me promise."

Lotus looked up at the lunar sister before hugging her and holding out a arm for the nurse. "Quickly please, before I get too scared." Luna translated and felt Lotus flinch and hug tighter when the needle entered before relaxing once it was out.

"There you are. You now not likely to get sick from bad sick." Luna told her through the translation spell. "Now, let us go from this place and to place of learning. You need learn speak in our tongue without bad know-what-said spell."

Luna sighed as she lead Lotus through the castle. While she had no clue what the girl heard, she knows it was similar to cave mare speak. 'At least the message gets across.' She though before leading the girl into the classroom. "Professor Silver Tongue, we have arrived." She told the messy, brown haired stallion who looked up from his work with his emerald green eyes and smiled.

"Ah princess Luna. Oh, I see you brought, what's her name... Ah right, Black Lotus with you? I assume you are hear to begin her lessons in Enquish?" Prof. Silver asked as the princess nodded.

"Indeed. Her language has similar character's and sintax to that of the Griffin's native tounge, but is still completely different from any known languages on Equis. She shows signs of starting to learn, however, we all know you don't learn a language over night." Luna said with a slight sadness in her tone.

"Now now Princess, under my study it didn't take you long before you were speaking fluently in our modern speach patterns. I'm sure the girl will be just fine." Silver said.

"Verily."

The two shared a pause before both began to laugh. Luna sighed "Alas, I must be off. I leave her in your care Professor."

"Take care princess. And please, for the last time, just call me Silver." The stallion said as Luna walked towards the door, causing Lotus to look worried.

"I will the day you start calling me just Luna." She smirked at him before turning to Lotus. "This Stallion is a kind one. Listen carefully, learn dutifully, and you will get treats after your dinner." Lotus nodded, giving Luna the confermation she needed before she left, leaving the two alone.

"So, time to begin." Silver said after casting the translation spell. "First, I'm going to point to a object. I'm going to hear how you say it before telling you how I say it." He dropped the spell before going over to his desk and grabbing a apple.

Celestia groaned internally as her favorite nephew droned on and on about some petty topic or other. It was a mercy when Luna walked in, a smile on her face that the solar sister couldn't help but mirror upon seeing it.

"I'm sorry nephew, I'm sure what you were discussing was very important, but I must have a private talk with Luna." Celestia told the prince who proceeded to bow before glaring at Luna, leaving with a huff. "So sister, how goes Lotus?"

"She is currently in lessons with the Professor." Luna said, walking up and siting in the throne beside her sister. "So... Which of us is the mother?" Luna asked causing Celestia to spit take the water she began to drink.

"Luna!" Celestia explained while her lunar sister began to laugh her ass off, falling out of her throne. "Don't joke like that. We don't even know if she is staying in the castle after we teach her Enquish."

Once Luna calmed down, she responded. "Celestia, you can't deny the way she appeared. Harmony it's self delivered her to us. Not your student, not some random family in this entire world, but us."

"We don't know that Luna. For all we know, she could have casted a form of teleportation spell."

Luna sighed. "Why are you denying yourself the truth? Is this because of Sunset Shimmer?" Luna asked, Celestia's silence telling. "Celestia, you have told me about the events revolving her, those were not your fault. You did what you thought was right."

"I'm sorry Luna, but I can't be a mother, not again." Celestia sighed, finding Blueblood a better alternative to this conversation.

"Fine then, she will be mine." Luna said with conviction.

"Luna, she is damaged. We both were able to learn that from one broken conversation. Do you really think it wise to make her royalty? To make her deal with nobles constantly when it was nobles of her land that caused her pain? Think Luna, we can't keep her here." Celestia tried to plead.

"She was ment to be with us. I still believe in Fate sister. It was Fate that lead Harmony to her, and then to us. We have to help her, or are you going to abandon her? We can't do that to her Celestia. She trusts us. And I will not betray that trust, not if I can help it." Luna said, her eyes hardened. Her voice softened "Death clings to her you know? Surely you sensed it as well. She has marks on her soul. She looks only around ten, yet she has seen as much death and you or I. I can't leave someone that broken."

Celestia sighed. "There is no changing your mind. Just... Please wait until we can get her opinion. Promise me that Luna."

Luna rolled her eyes. "Oh very well sister, I promise."

"I understand where you come from sister. I want nothing more than to hold her close and promise the world to her broken soul. But would it really be best for it to be us? That is all I want you to think of." Celestia said before turning to the door. "Let court begin."
