A few years later: Ringer's POV
For that last couple of years things have gone quite smoothly, the mane 6 had got into some trouble here and there but nothing to my family. Metal had grown to be quite tall and mature for his age. He was still a blank flank but that's not a now thing. I was visiting Luna for the first time since i found out she was my mom. Metal was so excited to meet her. He was practically bouncing of the walls, and he's not one to get excited! He decided to take the CMC along with us so he wouldn't get bored. We took a carriage there since we were technically royalty, plus it's more private than a train.
After about an hour ride, we made it to Canterlot castle. Not only was I seeing Luna but we here having a royal meeting. I was summoned on short notice and thought it would be a good time to introduce Metal to Luna. We were greeted by my friend Gage before we enter and decided to chat before the meeting got underway.
"So Gage, do you have any idea of what this will be about?" I asked curiously
"I assume it's something that might suit your interest's princess RingerWings. " He answered
"It's Just Ringer, pal. You don't have to call me that. I wonder if it's a crisis that only I can prevail at! I hope it's going to be exciting!"
It was then that Metal had picked up on the conversation and decided to get it on it.
"Hey can I come with you Mom? It's a good chance for me to get my cutiemark!" he asked
The gears in my head started turning when I was thinking. I haven't been on an adventure since before Metal was born. It would be a good chance for me to bond with him. I then thought "why the hay not?" He understood my body language and then turned to the CMC. I told them that the courtyard should be right around the corner and Gage would keep an eye on them. He didn't like the idea of watching fillies and colts but he had orders to listen to royalty.
Sometime afterwards, a guard had stated that the meeting was about to begin. I was then lead a massive door. I wondered why a pony would ever need one so huge. It made no sense. As I entered, I saw Princess Celsetia, Luna, and Cadance. I sat right next to Luna and the meeting began.
"As you may know, Equestria is usually at peace with all of the nations. But as of last week, an attack was set on Equestria by the members of an unknown gang. We as royalty must stop this before it gets out of hoof!" Stated Celsetia.
"But sister, who is well enough to take out this gang of roughens! I am sure that neither you, me nor Cadance have the time to take care of this."
"That is why I summoned Ringer to ask if she can take on this duty. I understand you have you family but I will make obligations."
I started to wonder if this was a good idea or not. A gang that is using weapons against us. I wouldn't think of ponies wanting to do that. What's not to like here? I understood the safety of Equestria could fall if I don't help.
"If I can take any guest with my I will highly take hold of this mission. I would like to bring my son Metal and anypony he would like to take."
They then started to think long and hard. I could tell by the way they were moving. I knew they were related to Metal and wanted to keep him as safe as possible but they had to think of the other ponies as well.
"It's a deal Princess Ringer."
"It's just Ringer, Celsetia."
I then trotted out of the room and waited for Luna to leave. When she did, I stopped to ask if while I'm still in Canterlot if we can hang out with Metal as well. She gladly accepted and we walked to the courtyard. Metal was just playing hoofwrestle with the chicken and you could tell who would win. Scoots was just about to win when Metal slammed her hoof on the other side. He takes after me sometimes.
"Hey Mom, HI Luna, did you guys see how I beat this chicken!"
"I did, So Metal, want to hang out with me and Luna for a while? Well before we leave Canterlot? We both have a lot to say about the meeting that we'd like to share with you."
He gladly accepted. He then went and told the CMC that we were going to hang around Canterlot for a little longer and asked if they wanted to join as well. You could probably guess what the answer would be. We said our goodbyes to everypony and we left. Luna doesn't get out much so she gets a little uncomfortable. As we started walking I went to see if I can find a place to chill for a bit as me and Luna explain to Metal about my mission. I then found the perfect spot, the Park! The CMC can get all their energy out while we chat.
Once we made it to the nearest park, the CMC automatically went straight for it. I sat Metal down at a bench a little isolated from everypony else.
"Metal, during the meeting we heard that a gang of ponies is starting to attack Equestria. I, as royalty must stop this before it gets more dangerous. I may be gone for awhile."
"But Mom, what about our family and friends? Are you just going to leave them?"
"No, I asked if I can take a guest and anypony they wanted to bring. I choose you."
"Awesome! I can bring SweetieBelle! Oh and AppleBloom and the chicken"
He then ran off into the playground without another word. I was surprised he took it so easily. I could tell by the look on Luna's face that she was thinking the same thing. We then turned to each other and said in our minds." Want to go on the swings?". We then ran all the way to the park without any worry at all in our minds.
Well that's the end of that chapter. I'm finally getting into the adventure part of this story. Thank my amazing friend Chronic Writer's Block for all his support. I'm currently writing a co-op side story with him and you should check out both of our sides. Also if you want to ask any questions, Just PM one of us. RINGER IS OUT, PEACE!
