Back in the med room the cadet was reading a book with an ice pack on his bruised side. There was a knock at the door as a medic walked in, "Are you feeling better?"

"Better than I can miss."

She checked his vitals and chuckled, "Well, you will be better tomorrow morning."

He smiled, "Can I go home?"

She chuckled, "Sorry, not quite yet. Need to finish up some more tests. Rest well." She said as she walked out handing a file to another pony, "Nighthawk wont be ready. Tomorrow."

He sighed, "He will be ready tomorrow. That's an order."

Nighthawk watched the door as he pulled out a picture and saw three ponies, one whose mane looked blue as the sea with a loving smile, another in a royal guard uniform, with a red mane, and a young filly with a red mane and blue eyes smiling upon his mother and father. He smiled and then remembered his dream of wanting to join the Royal guard, a young stallion with a mane colored as flames. lighting up his horn to raise his first sword blade. Suddenly he got another knock at the door as another alicorn in silver armor walked in. She looked so beautiful, with her dark blue mane flowing and blue eyes. Her voice was peaceful and soothing.

"Oh, erm, Princess Luna. What a surprise." Nighthawk said trying to get out of bed.

"As you were cadet, I just came to visit a friend."

He relaxed and sighed, "Just didn't expect to see you."

She chuckled, "Yes, this was kind of unexpected, but I would've felt bad if I didn't visit my favorite cadet."

For as long as Nighthawk's father wore armor as a guard, he stuck close to the two princesses as if they were the older sisters he never had. Even though they rarely see each other, he enjoys the small things they do for him.

"I was informed that you would be back in training tomorrow?" Luna asked.

Nighthawk rolled his eyes, "So stupid why they do stuff like that. After what I was through today."

"I'll admit, that isn't right, but you can't go against the General's orders."

"I bet he went against your mother's orders huh?"

Luna rolled her eyes, "He's a stubborn stallion, but perhaps having you in tomorrow might be something that you need."

"What about the Captain?" Nighthawk asked taking a sip of his water that he had on the stand.

With a sigh she smiled, "Let's just say that your father will be in a little late than expected tonight."

"Typical." Nighthawk replied as he laid his head on his pillow.

Luna opened the door as she gave a slight nod, "Get some rest cadet. Pleasant dreams." She closed the door as he shook his head and closed his eyes.

He rarely saw his father with how busy he was training new troops, or providing what protection he could give for the Queen and Princesses. But nonetheless Nighthawk always looked up to his father and trains his hardest to become a Captain just like his father.
