Lies of Solaris

The time was midnight in the peaceful heart of Canterlot,Crown Jewel of the Equestrian Kingdom.In the heart of the marvelous equestrian city would be the grand castle where the Elemental Princesses spent their eternal days.Inside said castle would lie one of those very princess',The graceful Mare of the Night,Princess Luna,in her personal chambers to be percise.The young princess would lay on her large bed,relaxing after bringing her glorious night full circle.

With The Princess Was her most trusted guard,and guard captain,Feathermane.Feather was a young Vampric pony at the age of 600 years old.She had been at Princess Luna's side for a short couple of years but has proven herself on multiple occasions to be much more then capable for the honor she holds in the Lunar Guard Corps,having saving the princess on multiple occasions,and risking her own like many more times then that.Their relationship was more then Royal Deity and Sworn Protector.They were close friends as well,yet that both relationships never conflicted each other when circumstances called for one over the other.

The Princess laid on Her bed in silence for a short while before speaking up to the grey coated mare who trotted up casually to her.

"It is a good night,is it not my friend?,I have put a special touch on each star tonight for I felt it good for the nights beauty to shine brighter then usual this day.Would you agree with me?" Said Luna

Feather would take her place at Luna's side,yellow eyes shining ever so slightly in the dim light of the room as she sat down on her haunches next to the princess,letting out a small content sigh as she relaxed herself as well before speaking

"I'd say so,I did notice something diffrent about the stars tonight,so your extra effort shows" Said Feather

Luna would smile at this and nod,sitting herself up on her own haunches at this point as she would sigh and then laugh slightly.

"Well then why are we sitting inside and not enjoying it outside.Seems to be a waste to let said work simply be admired from the windows,and such pleasent conditions for a nice stroll and maybe a sit in the garden."

"That sounds like a good idea,a shame the others can't join us for the time being,everyone else is asleep" Said Feather

"True,let us atleast fetch Starry and then head out" Said Luna

With this the princess trot without a care to the door of her chambers,opening it with ease with her magic as she would look to her right,catching the gaze of her door guard,Starry,who was a member of her elite 4 along with Feather and 2 others.

The young stallion smiled at the Princess and simply gave a nod to her,He was not a colt of many words by a long shot,but a kind spirit none the less and someone the princess enjoyed very much to have around.His name was Starry Night,one of Luna's most trusted elite 4 guard ponies and one of the very few true friends the princess had.He had been with her nearly as long as Feather and had earned an equal amount of respect,proving his worth on countless occasions in ways that her normal guards almost never could.

Princess Luna trot past Starry after acknowledging his gesture with a small smile and a few moments later Feather would trot out of the room adorned in her armor without its helmet.The two would have a couple of moments of friendly chatting,all three would set off at a healthy pace towards the Royal Garden.

The trio would frolick around the gardens after arriving shortly after,sniffing the fresh flowers and taking in the health nights air,feeling chrisp in their lungs as the moon hung overhead,full and shining with beautiful luminosity.

After a fair bit of wandering and taking in the beauty that would never get old in the gardens,the three of them would take a short respute under a faded yet oddly beautiful aged white gazebo.This place had a large amount of meaning to the night princess,it was where her older fellow elemental sister would take her when they were younger,to bond,tell stories,and be one with each other,as family naturally should,but unfortunately enough those times had long faded,for reasons Luna at least partly felt she understood...but never fully.

On their way into the gazebo,something would catch Lunas eye,just near her right forehoof as she was about to plant said hoof to the ground.It was a lonely cricket,
chirping in the night as crickets do,yet this seemed to put luna off in a very bad way as she recoiled hard,bumping against Feather and Starry in unison,which would
cause Starrys guard helmet to fall off as Luna let out a half yell before being silenced by Feathers hoof.The only sound that would be heard would be the thud of
Starrys helmet contact the stone floor of the gazebo.

After a longated hug from Feather and pattings on the back from Starry,the princess would be completely content again as she watched the cricket jump off into the
bushes of the garden.

"I hate bugs.....they are natural creatures yes but...-" Her sentence would be cut off by a shiver as Feather would laugh shortly along with Starry.

As they all shared their laugh,The young stallion Starry would go to pick up his helmet,only looking down for a moment as his hooves would pick the object up.Under
it would lay an unusually large crack in the stone floor of the gazebo,a faint ocean blue light barely visible in the cracks.

"What in the....how did the helmet do this...it's not THAT heavy...." Said Starry

Luna and Feather both turned at his words,trotting over and looking down at the suspicious cracks skeptically before both looking at each other and then to starry

"Well this gazebo is very old indeed...it has been here as long as i have,or as long as i can remember...things break easily with age." Said Luna

At her worlds,Feather nodded and sighed,rubbing the back of her head as she began talking with Starry about this.Luna would trot the slightest bit away from them Circling around the very edges of the cracks,rubbing her hoof over them as she though to herself,truely perplexed by the blue light that faintly glowed in the cracks,and then suddenly,as if triggered by the princesses direct touch,the light would glow very brightly,Shining is full ocean blue beauty as the princess would look to
Starry and Feather,wondering why they were not perplexed by this occurance as she was.

"Hey!,Feather,Starry,Are you two not seeing t-"

The young princess's words were be cut off by a sudden crack and the stone floor beneath her gave way underneath her hooves and she would fall,the light above would seem to cease to exist as she feel into a dark abyss as she yelled,seeming to fall as fast as a comet going through the depths of space in her own mind,faintly hearing the yells of Starry and Feather as the world would seem to close around her

"It has been here as long as i have....or as long as i can remember....Things...Break....Easily....With....Age...."
