Making The Most Of This
Well Ain't This Just A Sonavbitch
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Princess Luna." Twilight said before she and the rest of them kneeled before her causing the rest of us to hastily do it.
"Rise, Twilight Sparkle, this isn't official royal business anyhow." She said before surveying the crowd we formed.
"Which one of you dragons has found my ring?" She asked slightly raising her voice as I took a deep breath before walking forward.
"Uh, me, Your Highness." I said as she walked over to me making me realize just how small I was compared to her.
"I see, well if the letter Twilight sent my sister has any form of credibility then you shall have no problem showing me this ring so I can confirm tis truly mine yes?" She questioned sternly
"Ah right, well here you go." I said taking the ring off feeling like a part of me was suddenly missing causing me to shiver before I handed the ring over to her causing her eyes to widen in shock before softening.
"Is that really you old friend?" She said softly before igniting her horn.
'Probably checking it isn't a trap or something.' I concluded to myself as she got finished with what I assumed was an inspection of the ring before she quickly put it on.

"So, I see you like wasting creatures' time with your jokes." She said with venom in her voice as she narrowed her eyes causing me to look at her in confusion and slight fear.
"W-What do you mean?" I asked stuttering a bit as I unconsciously took a step back.
"You know exactly what I m-" She began to say before suddenly pausing as her eyes widened in shock before they began to tear up.
"Aesthyr, Is that, really you?" She said letting out a tear filled laugh.
"I thought you had been lost or worst destroyed! I looked everywhere for you, but I couldn't find you anywhere, I had feared the worst!" She said cradling the ring while she wore a big smile on her face with tears dripping down.
"You know, I can see how weird it is for you guys to look at me when I talk to Aesthyr now." I admitted as Luna was busy crying tears of joy.
"Glad you could see it." Garble said sarcastically causing me to roll my eyes before looking over at Luna who was smiling while tearing up as she continued blabbering apologies towards Aesthyr.
We all gave her a minute to not disturb her long-awaited reunion with Aesthyr before she began calming down again.
"Again, I am so sorry for ever making you go through with something like this." She apologized once again sincerely before suddenly laughing.
"Blunt as always Ace, it is great to have you back." She said before suddenly turning back towards us.
"Right, of course, that would be the logical step." She said before her horn lit up cleaning herself up a bit.
"Drag-excuse me, Falkor, I thank you deeply for reuniting me with who I thought was lost because of my ignorance." She said as I bowed.
"It was nothing, Your Majesty, just doing something that was meant to be done." I said honestly as she hummed in response.
"A humble dragon, I guess that's a first for me since returning to this land." She said before turning once more to the ring as her face slowly had a grin appear on it.
"Oh really? Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt and seeing as how peaceful this land is now I doubt I'll be able to have another opportunity like this, though, if what you're saying is true then maybe he can at least entertain me." She said before looking back in my direction unconsciously making me take another step back.
"Falkor was it? Again I thank you for what you've done for me this day and I will see to it that you be provided with whatever you wish for as long as it's not too crude or exaggerated." She said as I silently celebrated that so far things were going well.
"Tha-"
"Though, before we get to that, Aesthyr said that you are a somewhat decent fighter in her eyes." She said cutting me off as my eyes widened in shock at her.
"Now I won't mince words with you I'm not exactly sure what she sees in you though if I still know her like I used to then I know that when it relates anything to strength, she has always been right about it, no matter what." She finished getting closer as she bent down to get in my face.
"So what do you think Falkor, are you a good fighter?" She asked bluntly stunning me.
"We-"
"Oh yeah, he is! You should have seen him earlier when he was fighting this other dragon to protect Twilight and us, he was like bam, and pow, and fire blast, he even said he would teach me how to fight as well." Spike enthusiastically said cutting me off which caused me to blush in embarrassment at the positive comments.
"WHAT!?" I heard all of the ponies yelling out in shock as I sighed to myself.
"Oh really?" Luna said sounding slightly amused but mostly curious.
"Ah, haha, whoops?" Spike said hesitantly before Twilight regained her bearings and looked at Spike sharply.
"We are having a good long talk about this later mister." She said sternly to him.
"And that goes for you too after you're done!" I heard them say behind me as I nodded my head.
"So you were going to train him how to fight? Intriguing, perhaps Aesthyr might have been right again." She said shaking her head fondly.
"W-Well It's not like I know much about fighting, I-I was going to teach what I knew which already isn't much." I said trying to lower her expectations about me.
"I disagree, already that is much more than I would expect your kind to try and do, usually when it comes to fighting most dragons just try to brute force their way through, or if it gets too hard for them, resort to their fire." She explained before standing back as she looked down at me with more interest which I didn't exactly know how to feel about.
"You though, have not only come up with your own way to fight, but it is also something structured enough that It can be taught to others as well if what you were offering the hatchling is anything to go by." She pointed out
"To put it simply, I'm intrigued how you, a dragon, would fight, and seeing as how Aesthyr herself has vouched for you I can't say I'm not intrigued a little at how good your fighting prowess really is." She said looking more and more interested in fighting me.
"I of course would be holding back against you seeing as how I simply want to test you and not kill you." She said bluntly as I stood there dumbfounded trying to come up with a response.
'WHY THE FUCK IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME!' I mentally screamed out in frustration before taking a few seconds to calm down.
'Ok, ok, whatever, If the decision is really up to me then I could just decline it, right? No need to kill myself by going against an ALICORN of all things.' I thought to myself.
'Though, should I really decline? If me and the others are going to even have a chance at dealing with everything that's going to happen then we need to get better at everything, and that means fighting as well, this could well be an actual good opportunity to see what I need to improve on.' I pointed out to myself.
[What do you think Aesthyr? Should I fight or decline her?] I asked her.

'Ah, right, she's not here anymore, kinda miss her already.' I admitted to myself before shaking my head.
'Thoughts for later, right now I need to make a decision and I think I know what I'm going to pick.' I concluded to myself before closing my eyes and taking a deep breath before I looked back up at Luna who looked at me expectant.
"It seems you've decided on what to do, so, Falkor, I'll ask once more, would you like to participate in a practice duel with me?" Luna asked
Set on my answer I look up at her with determination as I open my mouth and give her my answer.
Author's Note
WHAT!? I did not just do that.
I did, I totally did.
Well here you guys go I've been on a writing binge recently with Renewed Diamonds but I'm back over here with a little mini chapter for you guys in order to give you guys a feel for Luna.
If I'm being honest I have absolutely no fucking idea how to write Luna and that reunion scene felt awful but again I'm literally still somewhat new to this so I have no idea how to write complex scenes and characters like Luna or what I tried to pull off.
So any advice and criticism would be greatly appreciated since I know alot of people are probably going to hate how I wrote Luna and her scene with Aesthyr.
Other then that I hope you guys will be able to at least somewhat enjoy this chapter.
Again, sorry not sorry about the cliffhanger, really wanted to do that for awhile![]()
See ya later!
