Equestria's new Moon

Canterlot: Hospital

With their patient not in any danger, the medical ponies begin to leave and return to their tasks. Dr. Heart Line does say "I'll have his discharge papers readied, I can give you maybe half an hour before the room needs to be re-assigned Princess."

"That will be more than enough Dr. Heart Line. And thank you for taking such good care of our guest." Celestia dismisses the doctor. She then turns her attention to Aidan. "Now to answer your second question. Your outfit was damaged during the magical backlash of whatever magic you used in the lands to the far north. Rarity and Twilight are attempting to repair it. The enchantments on it is making it quite a difficult task for them, but they assure me that they can do it."

Fleur walks up to him and presents him a bag. "I did not get the chance to thank you for saving me before. And once I learned of what happened, I insisted to help in what way I could." As Aidan opens the bag, he finds quite a few different outfits, that seem like something nobility would wear. "My agent helped me call in favors from every famous designer we could. It is the least we could do."

"I thank you miss, but you did not need to do anything. I do not act for rewards, but for my own piece of mind." He picks out the most simple outfit of the lot. "Although for once, the rewards will come in surprisingly helpful." Using magic, he makes a privacy curtain with the blankets and changes into a plain black suit, with a crimson shirt. He of course forgoes the tie, and leaves the jacket unbuttoned.

"I simply could not just do nothing to thank you. You saved me from a live worse than death." Fleur states adamantly.

Aidan drops the sheet, now that he's dress. "Then the perfect reward would have been to simply keep living."

The two mares blush slightly at the reveal, as well as the response Aidan had given. It was something like out of one of their romance novels. They do quickly recover and noting the time, Fleur quickly excuses herself. "I wish I could stay longer, but I must head out to a photo shoot." Turning to Celestia she quickly adds. "I do hope you can keep me informed of this fine stallion's health in the future."

"Of course, for one of my dear friends, I can do that. Please give my best to Fancy Pants." Celestia responds, getting a quick glare before Fleur leaves to make her appointment.

Celestia moves over to the bed and takes a seat. She motions for Aidan to sit beside her. Only when he sits does she continue with answering his questions. "As for the first question. Twilight arrived only just before you lit up the sky. It was visible even as far as Canterlot." She says, with a tone that implies being impressed. "She managed to save Rainbow Dash from some sort of undead creature. Unfortunately her wounds were quite severe and she will never fly again."

Aidan quickly stands up and doesn't let Celestia continue. "Take me to her." His tone quite demanding. "She was only there cause of me, and I will not be stand by when there is something I can do."

"If you think you can do something for her, then we shall go see her at once." Celestia stands up and begins leading the way. "But be aware, the damage to her wing was quite extensive. It had to be amputated."

"Of course, they had to make it more difficult. Any chance we could get the wing back?" He asks with slight hope. When Celestia shakes her head negative, it confirms what he feared.

Trying to take his mind off the topic for at least a moment, as they continue making their way to the ICU and Rainbow's room. "The people that you saved, are called the Moose. They have requested refuge with their savior and have set up a camp around your stone cottage. They are a nomadic people and believe you were sent to them by the sky lights to save them from the dead that eat tribes. Speaking of, Twilight was quite impressed with that magical doorway you created. While it did close on her after going through, she did manage to force it back open by forcing her magical energy into it."

It was Aidan's turn to be impressed. "I was wondering about that, as it does have a limit to how much it will let travel through in a day. Increasing it's power would bring up that limit."

"I'm afraid she will have many questions about it. I do as well, it could revolutionize how my ponies travel." Celestia stops in front of a nurse station in the ICU of the hospital and asks a nurse. "May we visit Rainbow Dash?"

The nurse quickly looks over some charts. "Um... it looks like her room is at capacity for visitors. But as it's you Princess, I think we can make an exception." The nurse gets up from her chair and begins leading Aidan and Celestia to Rainbow's room. Upon arrival, she knock before opening the door. "Miss Dash, you have some more visitors."

"I don't want more people telling me how much a shame I won't be able to fly anymore. Tell them to go away." Rainbow's voice is heard from the room.

"Don't be like that Dashie, they care about you and just want to see how you're doing." is the quick response from Pinkie Pie. "And who knows, maybe they brought cupcakes. Or maybe it's A.K. Yearling!"

Celestia enters the room first. "Not quite, my little ponies. But I'm quite certain you'll want to see this guest." She then moves past the doorway, allowing Aidan to step inside.

Rainbow is in bed, covered in bandages and has some tubes and wires going into various places of her body. Sitting around her bed are the other elements of harmony. The girls all cheer up a little, seeing Aidan out of bed.

"Aidan!" they all exclaim in near unison.

"Glad to see you're up. At least you look to be in better shape than me." Rainbow lifts her one remaining wing up a little, only to wince in pain."

"I have so many questions about that spell you cast, and the giant pheonix." Twilight starts, but is quickly silenced by Applejack.

"I think that can wait Twilight." Is all she says before removing her hand from Twilight's mouth.

Aidan clears his throat to get the full attention and to hopefully stop anyone else from interrupting. "How would you like to fly again?" The room goes quiet as they all just stare at him.

"What do you mean? The wing's gone, and I've seen you fly with your magic. It's not quite the same, and not nearly as fast as me. I mean as I was. You know what I mean." Is Rainbow's response. The rest of the girls just wait to see how this plays out, not wanting to ruin any hope there might be.

"You have to remember, my magic's different. One of my lower end spells in the creation path, while not ideal, can increase a body's natural healing. With enough power pushed into the spell, it can permit the regrowth of limbs. But it will be quite painful, and at best take two to three days." Aidan holds up a hand, so as to stop Rainbow from just asking him to hit her with the spell. "Now, as I said it's a lower end spell and will be incredibly painful. We can also wait until I recover access to my higher end creation spells. It will allow the restoration of lost limbs instantly and without pain."

"But how long will that take?" an impatient Rainbow Dash asks. "Spitfire let slip that there was a Wonderbolt show in a few weeks, and wished I would have been able to be the reservist for it."

Aidan thinks things over. "You're going to go the painful route aren't you? Cause best I can estimate, gaining access to that spell would take a week. And that's if nothing comes up to slow that down."

Rainbow Dash just nods. "Yup, I'm a tough mare. I can take it. Now hit me with the magics."

"Maybe we should talk to a doctor first. Maybe they can provide pain medication to make things easier, and they'll probably want to monitor the spell." Twilight interjects, as Aidan had already started drawing a sigil in the air.

"Twilight is correct. This is not something that should be rushed. Perhaps you should think on it some more Rainbow, there will be other shows you can participate in." Celestia adds in to Twilight's concerns. "I suggest you sleep on it. If you are still determined, we can arrange to make things easier and have proper monitoring."

"Alright, I guess." Rainbow gives in to logic and concern from her friends.

"Now, we will see you tomorrow. I have some more things to discuss with Aidan." Celestia turns to exit.

"Oh! You mean like how he can see and actually has his eyes open, and they are quite a lovely shade of bluish purple!?" Pinkie manages to states before either Aidan or Celestia can leave.

"Now why didn't we notice that?" Applejack adds in.

"You're right, and they are just the most gorgeous shade." Rarity comments.

Fluttershy takes a longer look before she also comments. "I agree with you Rarity. They are lovely"

"I have questions!" comes the expected words from Twilight.

"Um... gotta go." Is the last words they hear from Aidan before his suit is suddenly empty and falls to the floor. Which leaves Twilight with a twitching eye, as the number of questions increased.
