Chapter 2: The Journey Begins
The sun rose once more on a beautiful day. Violet started his day as he usually would, give Fluttershy a good morning kiss, making breakfast for her and Angel, and she packed his everything he needed for his trip. "Try not to worry yourself about me ok?" Fluttershy sadly nodded. "Please be back soon…" She hugged him tight, nuzzling into his shoulder. "I will, when I get back I'll do whatever you want me to." Fluttershy shook her head. "Oh no, just you being here will be all I could ask for." Violet blushed and kissed her. "I'll be back my love." They kissed a few more times and he went off to find Lunar.
Lunar was waiting for him at the edge of the forest, already had everything packed and ready. Violet teleported to him and was ready to go. "I hope you don't mind getting your hooves dirty Lunar." Violet joked. Lunar shook his head slightly laughing. "Well as long as we get what we need I'm ready, I already mapped out everything." Violet stared curiously. "You already planned everything?" Lunar nodded. "Of course, why wouldn't I?" Violet shrugged. "Let's just get moving. How did Fluttershy take it?" They trotted as they talked. "She's fine, but I'd hope she doesn't worry herself to much."
They spotted the mountain in the distance. They decide to cut their journey some time, so they teleported just outside the mountain. "I didn't really plan how to deal with the dragon, I thought you'd feel more comfortable if you did being that you and Fluttershy care about all animals." Violet nodded. "Well I have a way to get past it without hurting it…" And with that they started the climb. "Are you sure Rarity will like this?" Violet looked at him. "Of course she will! She'll fall head over hooves for you!" Lunar always admired Violet's enthusiasm, and his kind nature. "Thanks Violet." They decided to rest on a ledge.
"Wow, it's a beautiful sight from up here…" Violet loved the way nature looked. Lunar looked over at him. "Are you sure you won't need any help with that dragon?" Violet, only half listening looked over at Lunar confused. "What? Oh uh… no I can handle it. You might want to have earplugs or something." Lunar gave a confused look. "Well can you tell me what your plan is?" Violet nodded. "Well basically I have a special music that's kind of hypnotic; I usually use it to just put little animals to sleep that are having trouble with insomnia. It's going to be much louder and more intense for the dragon though." They looked at the cave up ahead. "Well let's do this then."
When they entered the cave it was pitch black. Violet gave second thoughts having a fear of dark enclosed spaces. "Afraid of a little darkness, Violet?" Violet nodded nervously. Lunar used his magic to light up the cave and they moved in. The dragon was spotted in no time and it raised high over them looking down on them. "And what are little ponies like you doing here? Coming to take the diamond?" The dragon laughed loud. "Cover your ears Lunar…" Lunar nodded covering his ears and watching Violet. His piano appeared and his horn glowed. A soft melody played at first and slowly purple notes came out of Violet's horn. They rose and floated around the confused looking dragon. Then the music rose into a loud boom, an intense melody of sounds filling the cave. The dragon began seeing fading colors of purple around the room and everything waved fading in and out. The dragon fell over hitting the ground unconscious. The music stopped and Lunar uncovered his ears. "Well that was quite creative of you Violet." Violet looked around and found the gem.
The amazing look heart diamond lay there, shining across the cave. "Well… it certainly is amazing." Lunar nodded in agreement. Violet also noticed a small amethyst heart on a gold necklace which he took it for Fluttershy. "Mad as well take something for my love to." He then used his magic to levitate the heart diamond, which was as big as them, over him. "Uh, Lunar I used quite a bit of magic, I don't think I have enough energy to teleport back with this…" Lunar nodded. "Well let's just hurry back…" They journeyed down and into the forest on their way back. They traveled through it a ways until they came upon a gorge that seemed to stretch miles. Worst part was the bridge was out. "Uh, Lunar, you're going to have to help." Lunar used his magic to bring the bridge back up and they slowly went across it. "It's getting dark so we're going to have to set up a camp." Once across Violet set the jewel down and Lunar made a fire.
Violet got some food out of his satchel and offered some to Lunar. "So we did it." Lunar accepting the food agreed. "Just have to get it back to Ponyville and to Rarity." Violet looked at him at laughed slightly. "Maybe she'll go down on you after seeing this beauty…" Lunar started to get a nose bleed from the thought of it. "Well uh… what about you and Fluttershy? Try to make a little filly yet?" Violet blushed dark red, his voice going quieter as he talked. "Well w-we're not… exactly ready… for that… yet…" Violet awkwardly sat for a second until they finished eating. "Well let's get some sleep…" After laying out their sleeping bags they slowly drifted to sleep. Both having their own dreams.
In the morning Lunar woke up and stretched out before looking around. He surprisingly saw Violet sitting up and feeding some bunnies and squirrels food. "Morning Lunar." Violet waved. "Morning Violet… Making friends with nature already…?" They laughed slightly for a second. "Yeah well here." Violet passed some food to Lunar. After eating they packed up and got ready to move again. "We might want to hurry, that was the last of our food…" Lunar stared at violet slightly surprised. "I thought you had more." Violet shyly stood for a second. "Well I can't just say no to feeding these little guys…" Violet levitated to gem once more and they started to head out. Ponyville was just up ahead and they were satisfied knowing their journey will soon pay off.
They trotted to Lunar's home outside of town. Setting the jewel inside they sat for a second. "Well I have to get back to Fluttershy so… I'll be back eventually, so you then." Lunar nodded and began polishing the jewel. Once home, he trotted inside and was surprised to see his sister chatting to Fluttershy. Vinyl decided to visit.
