Lies of Solaris

The two sat in silence for a while,only breaking that silence to make apologies, and it was Everdawn who did this mostly, For many things, all the years of misleading, The loneliness for years, Not being able to direct her down the right path, The Millenium of banishment that could have been avoided with proper guidance, but most of all, she apologized for her not being able to remember her own mother.

“S-so...Celestia knew...this entire time...she told me you were just off somewhere...all these years...t-that you were mad at me...for what i did...” she had cried heavily during these long hours and was now nuzzling her mother’s chest to find comfort, as she felt indefinitely broken at the moment..

Everdawn nodded and stroke lunas mane with a sigh

“She came here....two thousand years ago....so that was about a hundred or so after....it...happened...” She seemed pained by the simple word it.

Luna looked up at this,eyes slightly red from crying, she had noticed this pained moment in speech

“Everd- i-i mean....Mother...what is...it?”

The larger mare closed her eyes and sigh very heavily, a heavy burden being carried even in this simple gesture

“It would be easier to show you my child...close your eyes...”

Luna obeyed as her eyelids fell closed,the world went dark,she felt the sensation of magic radiating from her Everdawn and then the sensation started to fill her body,entering her mind. The lunar princess did not resist the intrusion into her psyche and after a couple of moments,Everdawn spoke again.

“Open your eyes...Luna..”

She opened her eyes,and what she saw baffled her.

The whiteness that surrounded them now hard purpose...and had formed itself into what looked like...the hallway of a castle...a castle so familiar....it was then that this clicked in luna “This is the castle where i got defeated by the elements....” Everdawn nodded knowingly before starting to walk,and after a few moments,Luna followed and Dawn spoke again “This was your...our..home...a long,long time ago Luna...” The castle walls were indeed very different from the place Nightmare Moon was defeated,the walls were no longer ugly grey with cracks on every visible square inch,they were now shining white marble to match along with the floors,the pillars were adorned in many different,all bright and vibrant in their various mixtures.The castle was teaming with activity of unfamiliar looking ponies,though they were easily distinguished as guards,they were like none Luna had seen.They were much like Celestia’s guards in their body types,but one thing made them different.The armor of these ponies were colored in a very bright,shining yellow and orange combination,unlike Celestia’s normal gold.

Luna gaped at these guards for a while,it was then that she noticed the other guards....Grey...like Feather and Starry’s Coats....similar...Yellow snake like eyes....but the armor was different again...a menacing jet black armor,with midnight blue engravings.The design was identical to Luna’s guards...right down to the enchantment that gave some of them bat wings.

“The white ponies...are your guards....aren’t they...?” Luna said,and Everdawn nodded in confirmation,the small beginnings of a smile forming on her face

“But...if they are yours...then...who controls th-” Luna tried to finish her sentence,but it was then that,just beside Everdawn,Space was distorted into itself,leaving a gaping tear of what looked...and felt...like pure magic..Very slowly,a large,Onyx pony with a mane of stars resembling the night skies constellations to utter perfection stepped out of the space,by his build he was very obviously a male,his size rivaling a bit over Everdawn,who was smiling knowingly at Luna as the figure stepped out.Once he had cleared himself of the void,it was made clear he was also an alicorn.His back was adorned with very graceful,Full bodied pegasi wings that if stretched,could span at least 5 ponies across each wing or more,his forehead was adorned with a long,sharp tipped horn that rivaled both Celestia and Everdawn’s in height,but the features luna noticed were first..when he spoke.. “You did always say she took right after me dear...” he was addressing Everdawn,who smiled lightly,but Luna’s face remained awe struck,he had a deep,authorative voice...when a most defined echo then even hers when she was Nightmare Moon,but the thing she noticed most all all were those dragon like...turquoise blue iris’ that glow even in full sunlight.It took a moment for it to click with her,but he was alreading voicing her thoughts it seemed
“My...you’ve grown so much...my cherished daughter...” said the Stallion

Luna felt tears running down her cheeks again as she closed her eyes and sniffled lightly,shaking her head in disbelief at what she was seeing,after a couple of short moments she found herself pulled into a tight embrace,she heard a strong heartbeat against the stallions muscled chest and when she dared herself to look up,she found those same turquoise eyes beaming down at her with obvious love before she would be hugged tighter,and even more apologies would be whispered into her ear and after after another couple of moments she felt the presence of her mother on her free side,finishing the embrace,it was then that Luna’s composure would shatter and she would cry like a foal who was afraid of the dark...
