Darkened Travels

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Luna awoke as the sun began its descent below the horizon. She gave her wings a flap, then lifted off into the sky, eager to continue her nighttime flight.

One thing hit her she flew. It was dark. Even she could hardly see as she flew. She turned her head skyward and saw just a tiny sliver of moon in the sky. She turned her head back to the foward position, the darkness doing nothing to hinder her flight.

There were two tall shadows right in front of Luna as she flew; she flew around them, only to get snagged in branches and leaves. Luna tried to hold onto a branch she managed to grab a hold of, but slipped, and found herself falling through the mess of branches down to the forest floor.

She landed with a thump on the soft ground. She picked herself up and cast a Light spell. She looked at all the sap and burs in her coat and cast a Cleaning Spell, removing any disgusting substance from her coat. She now began to walk on hoof, for it was not possible to perform magic and fly at the same time.

Luna walked slowly through the forest, listening for woodland creatures, having become fond of the small critters.

"Oh, Celestia, if only you were here."
