The Vampony Chronicles:

Lunar Republic

Chapter 2: Luna's New Student.

As they exit the throne room through one of the double doors, Celestia having her ear to the door trying to eavesdrop on her sister, and the subject that requested her attention. Both sisters are surprise when Luna opens one of the double doors. “Celestia, sister, what are you doing?” Celestia became nervous being caught.
“Oh um, well, I wanted to make sure everything was alright.” She excused.

“If you wanted to listen, then why put up the sound spell?” Luna asks.

“Huh?” Celestia questioned, confused.

“never minded. Listen this young filly, she request for me to take her as my own personal student, and so I agreed to do so.” Celestia face lit up with joy.

“Oh sister, I’m so happy for you! Trust me; this will bring you so much happiness, just as it did for me with Twilight Sparkle!” Celestia spoke with a joyful excited tone, but still held her regal look of it.

“Uh… thank thee, sister. So would you be so kind as to alert the guards of this.” Luna requested.

“Oh of course, and what is the name of your student may I ask?”

“Her name is Ame- we mean Violet, you can call her Violet.” Violets heart stopped for a second, when she thought her Princess was about to tell Celestia her true name.

“Oh she is so adorable sister, have her parents been notified?” ‘Why would she ask that? She really is putting her all in this act.’

“I-...”

“Yes! Yes they have. They already know. That, that is why I came here, and I will notify them that I have been accepted.” Violet cut Princess Luna off.

“Good, I have my duties to get back to, but I hope to see you two soon, at dinner tonight. I wish to talk with you more.”

“Yes dear sister, of course.” Luna answers.

“I’ll see you at dinner Luna, bye for now, and to you too Violet.”

“Yes… Princess Celesita.” Violet spoke as if she had to force those words out. Celestia dismiss that as being nervous.

“Bye for now.” Celestia with a nod of her head, and return, turn and left.

“Come let us head to the training room.” Luna commended.

“Yes my Princess.” Violet follows.

After a few minutes of walking, they reached the training room. Once in the training room, nothing can be heard from inside.

“Now, show us what thou art capable of.” Luna commanded.

“Princess?” Violet puzzle by what Luna ordered.

“Show us what thou can do already, so we can know where to start teaching thee.” Princess Luna explains.

“You, you mean you really are going to take me as your own personal student?!” The filly lit up with joy.

“Why yes, that is what we agree in the throne room, haven’t we?” Luna replied.

“Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much my Queen, my Ruler, my Majesty! This is a, I’m so greatly honored to be your personal student Princess Luna, I cannot express my joy, my gratitude to you enough!” The filly said excitedly while bowing.

“Yes, okay we get it. Now show us what you can do, what you know already.” Luna requested.

“But my Queen. What about my explanation? Your people await your return.” Violet asks.

“Enough of that nonsense already.” Princess Luna spoke, becoming annoyed by now.

“But my Queen, it’s not nonsense, you have to believe me.” Violet pleads to Luna. “I’m speaking to you only the truth.” Violet pleaded. ‘Still with the prank…’

“Very well, but first show us what thou can do.” Luna again commands.

“Yes my Queen.” Violet complies.

Luna brought forth a ball. “Can you do simple magic such as levitation?” She asks.

“Yes My Queen.” Violet answers.

“Then show us.” Princess Luna toss her the ball, Violet caught it in midair with her magic. “Very good… Violet, why is your aura two shade of color?” Luna asks.

“My Queen… that is… a personal matter to me. But I will be happy to explain once we’re in your Kingdom. So please be patient my Queen.” ‘Is it really that personal? Celestia must have done it.’

“Fine you don’t have to tell us… So that was really you who put up that sound shield?” Luna asks.

“Yes my Queen.” Violet answers.

“Enough with the ‘my Queen, our title with name is Princess Luna, use it.” Luna grunts out.

“But my Que-”

“Are you defying us.” Luna cut Violet out in a firm voice.

No my Que- I mean Princess, Princess Luna.” Violet reply and bowed feeling that she had somewhat upset Luna.

“Now, show us a few of what else you can do?” Luna requests.

“Yes my Que-… Princess Luna.” Violet bows and complies. She did a magic shield spell, teleport spell, and a magic manifest weapon. All of them took Luna by surprise.

“How, what, did you just… That is not possible for one to be able to do such magic spells, and not to say at such a young age!” Luna stammers and then blurt out.

“Please Princess Luna, let me explains, I was not lying when I said I came from a far.” Luna gave it some thought. ‘There no way, this has to be a part of my sister prank. But she does seem rather desperate; no doubt do not want to fail my sister. But to think that my sister would make a filly go along with her plan, the poor filly, I guess there’s no harm into falling for it. But I’m not going to take this one lying down; after this prank my dear sister, I’m getting thee back.’

“Alright, fine, speak what you have to say.” The filly glad up completely. A grateful expression light up from her face.

“Thank you my Queen, thank you!” She yells out.

“What did we say to thou about calling us Queen.” Luna said with an annoying grunt.

“Forgive me Princess Luna, it won’t happen again.” Violet bow while speaking.

“Very well, now tell me about you have to say, so we can get this over with.” The filly still in the bow position. “You may stand, and begin.” She rise.

“Thank you. Now we must go back to the beginning of your… injustice banishment we shall call it. After you were taken from us, your sister banned all dark magic to be use in the kingdom, and sent sunblessed after those who used it.”

” “Wait, Sunblessed?” Luna interrupts.

“Yes, Sunblessed, she believes that all those who used black magic, meaning your followers, were tainted and so she had us hunted, and killed.”

“That doesn’t sound like my sister.” Luna spoke, a little annoy about her sister being talk about as such.

“I promise you Princess Luna, it is. And the hunt is still going on today, but it extends to all who use black magic, no matter gender, age, and reason. But that is not important. Your Generals and Lieutenants believe that, that their Ruler could not fall, and will return one day. They gathered up all those who stood for and by you, all those who they could get to in time, and escaped to the far frozen North.”

“And how did you all survive the trip?” Luna asks, still not buying any of it, and even upset that her sister would use her banishment and her one time followers as part of the prank. ‘Oh Celestia, I’m definitely going to get you back good for this one.’ She muses to herself.

“We didn’t.” The filly answers, displaying a scowl downcast expression.

“What do you mean?” Princess Luna asks confuses.

“Not all of us anyway. When we started, there were around a thousand or so ponies. The icy wind blow the heat right out of our body, ponies froze left and right. Hunger took most of us. The group focused mainly on the mares, and foals, knowing the young ones would live on, and prepare for your return. Our powerful magic users leading held out, they tried to help the rest, but there magic was not strong enough to keep everypony warm. So they concentrated on the mares and foals, making sure they were kept warm and fed. They went far into the Frozen North farther than any pony had gone, even farther than alicorns we are to believe had gone. They stopped at a massive clearing, a little over half of the size of Equestria. They knew it was a clearing, because of a unicorn using an eye spell to see past the snow. The wind was strong and still is. The sky is covered with dark gray clouds. Leaving one unable to tell night or day. It was colder there too, the ice and snow covering the land. Mountains shielding us all around, acting as a barrier, with only a diminutive cave passage to arrive there. When we accounted for who were left, it was only around three hundred or so. Your Generals and Lieutenants stepped up, they declare that the land shall be our home, In the name of our Princess, our Queen, our Majesty our Ruler, Princess Luna. Many ponies died that day.” Violet down casts her head and eyes.

“What?” Luna asks.

“A lot of ponies gave up their lives that day to make the land habitable. A unicorn, with twelve dozen volunteer Pegasus, agree to convert their pony body magic, and souls into a magic shield. This shield had many purposes; it blocked out the freezing temperature, pushed away the clouds to let the moon and sun shine down upon us, it also absorbed the sun heat and directed it into the air and land within the shield, and it also has a sound coating and illusion spell to block sound from both side, and to hide us from your sisters eyes and ears. Another unicorn with twelve dozen volunteer earth ponies, agreed along with the unicorn to convert their earth pony body magic, body, and soul to the land. Thanks to those thirteen, the land unfroze and gained nutrients, along with the bodies of water, which became lakes and streams. Three more unicorns gave their lives to do a convert spell. Which call for them to use all their magic, and soul to be able to cast the spell on such a large shield and land. The spell they cast also allow the shield to be able to absorb both sun and moonlight, even the wind that bash against the shield, into magic power to make the shield and land spell last. To those who sacrifice their soul, shall forever remain trapped… or a nicer way to say it, shall ever remain with us, in the earth beneath our hooves and the shield above our manes. After we were settle in, they needed a name for the land, and what it stood for, for we stand behind our Queen, Princess Luna, but just calling it Luna was not doing it justice. We they decided to base the name on how we are organize, which is in a republic way, and for who we stood for our; Queen, Princess Luna, so they settled on calling the land, the Lunar Republic. Until your return to take the seat as Queen Nightmare moon”

“Don’t speak that name again.” Luna yells at the filly, anger of her shame being brought up. Filly flinches.

“Forgive me, my Queen.” The filly bows.

“You may rise, I just don’t like hear that name. Please continue.

“Thank you for your forgiveness.” The filly continues with her story. “Thanks to the convert spell, we are able to convert our dead once, into the land which. Thanks to this we have no grave yard, so no areas go unused. And with this, we’re able to work toward spreading out and cover the rest of the land that inside our mountain barrier. But that also forces us to enlarge the shield, which is a life risk, both to the caster and the rest of us. Inside the shield, we only use twenty-five percent of it for housing, and building purposes. The other seventy-five percent of the land is use for plant life and farming. The wildlife and forests are much like that of the Everfree Forest; we wanted to make it as close to your home as possible, we even built a castle for you when you return. We practice black magic in your name, the dark arts, even with the dangers and the possibility of going mad. But that does not scare us, as long as it is in your name, my Queen.” After the filly finish, Luna sat there with her mouth open and her eyes wide. ‘I-I-I don’t believe it. A prank, all of this for a prank, I don’t even see the humor in it, if I was Celestia! No she wouldn’t do such a prank, and definitely have a filly be a part of it. But she would not order for all those who do black magic to be killed on site like that, or use the sunblessed to carry out the murder.’ Luna muses to herself for a minute.

“Tell us, why did you speak as if you were there?” Luna asks.

“When we learn of the history of our people, they us a mind spell to transfer the memory of the events, that took place. So to me and many others, we were there, and so it is easy for me to explain it like that.” ‘That is… insane.’

“Tell me, why did they sacrifice Pegasus ponies for the shield? I can understand the earth pony’s part in it, they having a natural gift in farming, but the Pegasus part does not make senses.” Luna asks.

“The one who cast the spell he the one who created it, and theorize that the magic of the shield would be too much to hold, and would collapse on itself. He reluctantly said with a Pegasus inner magic, it would allow the shield to remain light and strong enough to stand.” Violet quotes.

“That doesn’t sound all that right.” Luna comments. ‘More like insane.’ She muses to herself.

“Same to him, but we they did not want to have to sacrifice any more ponies than we they thought we had to.” Luna stands there, looking at the filly, not sure what to feel.

“We must say, we believe this to be a prank set up by our sister. we do not really believe all thou hast said, and we do not find it at all humerus either.” Luna starts to raise her voice at the end of her speech, and expression to start to change to anger, staring down the little filly.
“I can prove it, I can show you. That is, if you let me Princess Luna.” Violet requests.

“You expect us to fly all the way deep in the Frozen North, to look for something that you say is hidden from all eyes and ears, even alicorn?” Luna reply, clearly annoy by such a request.

“No my Que- Princess Luna, I can teleport us there. On the outside of the shield, there a transportation circle, which we can use to teleport to.” The filly spoke frantic.

‘… I... I… Oh what the hell, I’ll go along with this prank, I’ll just give my sister an earful, oh and I do mean an earful, when I’m done with her, she will be bleeding from the ear, begging me to stop talking.’ “Fine.”

The filly starts to cry and drops to her knees bowing. “Oh thank you, thank you, you just don’t know what this will mean for your people, seeing you again. It’ll be the happiest day of our lives, and the greatest day for the history of The Lunar Republic, they will declare this day a holiday.”

“Alright, alright, get up already.” Luna said, a little agitated by how happy the filly is by her going along with the prank.

“Yes Princess Luna.” The Filly obeys and rises.

“We shall do it after dinner, come it’s time, and we still have to raise the moon.” Luna spoke, remembering her duties as the night Princess.

“You mean I can watch you raise the moon!?” Violet asks with a joyful expression and tone of voice. “We do not see reason against it.” came Lunas reply.

“I’m so honored Princess Luna! Thank you for letting me bear witness to this.” Violet bow again. “Rise Violet, you don’t have to bow to everything.” “Yes Princess Luna.” Violet rises from the floor.

“Now Come.” Luna turns to exit.

“Princess Luna, there is one more thing.” She stops and turns her head to look at Violet.

“Yes Violet, what is it.”

“It is more of a request really.”

“Well, say it.” The filly looks nervous, suddenly dropping to her knees.

“I beg of thee, please, bestowal upon me the Blessing of the Moon.” She begs in a hasty manner, while on her knees again.

“What?!” ‘Hmm, okay young one, I’ll bestowal thee Blessing of the moon upon you.’ Violet still knees down.

“Okay Violet, if all what you said is true, we shall bestowal thee our blessing, the Blessing of the Moon, we give thee our word, and we never break our word.”

“Oh thank you my Queen, thank you!” She bow some more.

“We told thee not to call us that!” Luna agitated, trying to hold her god like voice back.

“I’m sorry my Que-, I mean Princess Luna.” She bows some more in forgiveness.

“You may rise now. Come, before we’re late for dinner.” Luna turns again. “There is one more thing Princess Luna.” Luna turns around, this time irritates, and her face shows it.

“What is it this time, Violet?” She grunts a little. “Please do not tell your sister all that I told you, she must never know.” Violet pleads.

“Fine. Now let us go, we are famished.” Luna said, turning around again.

“Yes Princess Luna.” Violet complies, following right behind Luna.

They exit the training room. Luna walks down the hall with Violet by her side. “It’ll take too long to get to our chambers; we will have to fly to the roof and raise the moon there. Come.” She turns and walks to the garden. Reaching it she looks down at Violet and lowers her body.

“Um Princess?” Violet asks from Luna lowering her body all of a sudden.
”Climb on.” Luna directs.

“What, I can’t do that my Princess!” Violet said frantically.

“You want to see us raise the moon, don’t you?” Luna asks, with a raised eyebrow.

“Will yes, but I can’t just climb on your back like that, no one should be allowed to do such an act.” Violet explains. Luna sighs.

“Then how will you get on the roof than?” Luna asks, with her eyes close out of mental exhausts.

“I can teleport there, Princess Luna. So please, rise from the ground!” Violet beggs.

“Fine.” Luna raises her body from the ground, and flies to the roof. Violet teleport right next to Luna, right after Luna had landed. Luna faces the horizon where the sun was setting. She closed her eyes and lit her horn, in an aura of cobalt blue, and lowers her body. She starts to raise her body, as well as the moon. Soon enough night came, the moon in full view over the land.

“It’s beautiful Princess Luna.” Violet stand just behind Luna, so as she can get a look at the moon while Luna was still in view. “Why thank thee, I only wish more ponies felt as such.”

“Then they are fools not to see it.” Violet comments, malice in her voice, and expression.

“Come. Celestia is sure to be waiting for us to arrive.”

“Yes Princess Luna.” Violet complies and follows behind Luna.

They enter the dining hall, Celestia already there seated. As Luna expected, she is waiting on her, and her new pupil, Violet. ‘No guess wanting to get a laugh in.’ On the dining table set up, is different type of food.

“I’m happy to see you have arrived Luna, Violet.” Celestia spoke in a cheerful regal voice, and expression.

“I’m sorry that we are late sister, my student kept.” Luna said, while taking her seat.

“Oh that’s okay. I understand how that can be; Twilight Sparkles use to be a handful too and still is to tell you the truth.”

“What’s all this sister?” Luna asks, gesturing to the food lying out.

“I thought we should celebrate and welcome of your new pupil, Violet.” Celestia smile with a glee expression

“Thank you than, Sister.” Luna says, speaking her gratitude.

“Oh it’s no trouble at all. Violet?” Celestia call her name with a smile.

“Yes.” Violet responses in deadpan tone.

“There a seat right next to your mentor you can sit. I know how much a pupil likes to be close to their teacher, with any chance they get.” Celestia explains, with a wave of a hoof.

“Thank you.” Violet reply deadpanned.

“So sister?” Celestia said eagerly excited. “Tell me, what you and your pupil did today.” Lunar just gave her a blank look. ‘You probably know that already.’

“Well, the plan was that she give us an overview of what she can do, and what type of spells she knows. But we have only gotten to what she can do so far.”

“Oh really, and what can you do, Violet dear? What spells do you know?” Celestia asks with a warm smile. So eager to hear what the filly knows.

“I know basic spell, such as levitation, teleportation, magic shield, magic manifest, etc.” Celestia laugh heartfelt, and gave a smile that scream how cute the filly is.

“Oh how cute she is Luna. But Violet, you should not tell fibs.” Celestia lightly scolds Violet.

“But she’s do not lying sister.” Luna spoke, levitating some food to her plate.

“Oh, really now sister, you put her up to this? Did you really think I would fall for something like that? You have to try a lot harder than that, if you want to prank me sister.” Celestia chuckles a little.

“But it really isn’t a lie sister; she really can do as she said.” Luna getting a little annoy, Celestia sees this, and decide to entertain it.

“Oh, alright, I believe you Violet. But may I have a demonstration; I would love to see your new pupil in action.” Celesita sarcastically asks Luna with a smirk.

“Why certainly sister, Violet shows my sister a little of what you can do.”

“Yes. Luna.” Violet response with a smile, happy that her queen, her princess asks something of her. Violet levitates food to her plate.

“Oh, you can do levitation!” Celestia said expecting as much, Violet being at the age where that should not be so hard to perform.

“Yes.” Violet deadpan tone confirms.

“What else can you do, Violet dear?” Violet getting annoy of being talk to like some foal, she rush throw the rest, so she can skip with the foal talk from Celestia. She teleport, then did a magic shield, and then a magic manifest weapon. After she was done, Violet starts to eat, along with Luna. The room went quiet, Celestia was staring at Violet with her jaw on the table, and if it was not for the table, it would be on the floor.

“L-L-Luna!” Celestia finding words again and how to use her mouth to speak them, she accidently shouts her sister name, after stammer with it a little.

“What, what is it Celestia?” Luna a little surprise by her sister voice, caused her to flinch when hear.

“Did you just see that?” Celesita eyes still widen.

“See what, sister?” Luna asks, looking left and right.

“What she just did.” Celestia answer, still a bit overwhelmed.

“Oh yes, isn’t it delightful of how much she can do already; it’ll make it a lot easier for me to teach her.” Luna said with a smile while still eating.

“But Luna, what she just did, that should not even be possible.” Celestia still overwhelmed, by Violets action and now her sisters response to her about them. ‘Celestia really is putting her all into this prank, her acting, and reaction is almost believable. I’ll play along to see where this is going.’

“I know sister, but calm down, there is no reason for you to be this whelmed by her.” Luna said it in a typical casually manner.

“There’s no reason. There’s no reason? There’s no reason?!” Celestia said repeats, starting out in a low voice, then end up frantically loud. “There is definitely a reason! For her to be that gifted… no, that is passing gifted, that is, that is, that is not normal at all.” ‘She really is doing a great job at this, Celestia really does have a knack at acting.’ Luna muses to herself, while Celestia fanatically panicked on.

“And her magic aura?!” Celestia shouts out.

“What about it dear sister?” Luna asks in a casual tone.

“It’s two different colors! No really three, if you count when the color fuse to make violet.” She said out loud, still frantic.

“I know isn’t it beautiful?” ‘You probably did something to it, to make it seem like that.’ Luna muses to herself while still eating.

“Beautiful is not the word I would use to describe it, more like how, and impossible?!” Celestia still frantic.

“Yes I know sister; does it not fit her name too. Now if you would excuse us.” Luna rise, so do Violet when she saw Luna did. “We must be going; I still plan to keep training her, even through the night.” Luna said walking to the door.

“B-B-But?!” The only thing Celestia can say at the time.

“Goodnight sister, sleep tight.” Luna and Violet left the dining room, leaving Celestia to stare at the door her sister, and pupil just exits out of.
