The Mosiac Valley

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Luna could hardly believe how far she had traveled in just four days. The northlands now lay mere miles away from where she stood on an old hill. She began her flight once more, hoping to reach the border by moonset.

She flew high above the treetops, her eyes squinted as she tried to see in the new moon light. She flew over hundreds of trees, hearing leaves rustle below her as she flew by. Eventually, she saw something worth seeing.

She looked down to see dozens of lights below. They did not falter or stutter, nor did any living being down there. Luna flew down, her curiosity peaked. She landed on the ground by the nearest light to her aerial location. She cast the Light spell and found herself looking at a small house made of compact sand.

She walked to the door of the sand hut and knocked. Not a single noise came from inside, and no one came to answer the door. She nudged the door handle with a hoof. There was a click, and the door swung open. Inside, a detailed mosiac of Celestia and her defeating Discord when he ruled Equestria.

Luna stared at the mosiac for a while, then walked out of the building. She walked over to another one, which also opened when she touched the door handle with her hoof. It swung open and she found herself facing Nightmare Moon.

"Well," a voice said from behing Luna, who jumped. "Not many ponies have found the Mosiac Valley in a while."

The pony stood by Luna, his eyes seeming to pierce into her. Luna looked embarrassed as her cheeks became slightly red. The pony was clad in a dirty fabric shirt, and appeared to be very poor, his hooves muddy and coat dirty.

"The Mosiac Valley?" Luna questioned.

The pony walked inside the sand house and came up to Luna. He sighed heavily.

"Not even the alicorns who founded Equetria remember this place." The pony looked Luna deep in her eyes, as though trying to discern her feelings. "I would have expected you, the Princess of the Night, to remember such a place, but obviously, I am mistaken."

Luna watched him as he began to pace across the dirt floor.

"This valley has been cared for by me for hundreds of years. I was given immortality by you yourself, Luna, to watch over this valley for all eternity."

"What is thou name?"

"I do not know. I have lost so many memories in the time I have spent here, and no alicorn can bring the missing memories back."

The pony seemed to stumble as he began to fall into a trance. Luna walked from the hut into the cold night air. She looked back into the hut to examine the mosiac one last time, then spread her wings and continued her flight
