Chapter 14

Danny woke up slowly his mane was all over the place as he shot up panting heavily a nightmare from the night before slowly made its way out of his head. He shook the last of sleep from his body and moved to the bathroom that sat in the corner of the room. He yawned heavily and limped his way awkwardly across the room his wings awkwardly out stretched as he had no idea how to use them. He sighed and stared at his wrapped chest he would be getting his bandages changed by Fluttershy today than he could hear the rest of Luna's story about how she found him and saved him.

He liked the princess she made him feel safe. Her voice a soothing smooth tone and her dark coat and Cutiemark as he came to know the mark on her flank made him think she was like him loved the stars and space.

A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth making him realise he hadn't smiled since he was brought here. The thought made him smile a bit more as tears dripped from his face. "I-I'm Really Free." He felt his whole body shake as tears rolled in big drips landing heavily on the ground. He quickly tried to make them dry up but no matter how hard he tried he was so happy. Just so freaking happy he couldn't remember the last time he felt free to do as he pleased and the feeling felt so good. He raised his head with pride as he huffed. "THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! NEVER! EVER!" He shouted at his reflection in the mirror. With that he heard a soft knock on his door which caused his proud demeanor to drop a moment before he realised who it was. He smiled softly when Fluttershy walked in slowly not waiting for him to answer.

Her head rose and she smiled back, "You're finally smiling, it's so nice to see a smile on your face." She stated deciding not to mention his tears. The saddle bag she had filled with clean bandages and a few new things for the colt as gifts hung from her back. He looked at the over stuffed bags and opened his mouth. "Thats a lot of bandages." He spouted softly raising his head.

Fluttershy smiled, "Not just bandages I also got you a couple of things to welcome you to Ponyville." She smiled and lifted her wing reaching into the bag with her mouth she pulled out a couple of small posters and a small bag of filled with a few gold coins. "I know you're still getting used to living here so I thought you might like a few things. So here's a couple of posters I wasn't sre what you liked but I saw how you admired Princess luna and her cutie mark so one is of her and the other is of the night sky she brings every night." She smiled as he opened one then the other a light smile appearing on his face. He stated softly, "Thank you so much I love them." He chimed shifting slightly as he hugged her only to let out a small whimper of pain and back up.

She smiled softly, "Don't hurt yourself. Let's get those bandages changed then we can go see the princess." She chirped softly slowly pushing him back to the bathroom.

Luna shifted slight flexing her wings before slowly sitting down. Twilight helped her before moving away again to give her space to speak. She sat in her chair and stared at the map that sat in front of her memorizing it slowly. Luna smiled as Danny eagerly sat in front of her wanting so badly to know how and why she saved him.

-Story/memory-

Luna had been forced to stay in bed getting sicker from using powerful magic to talk to the young male over in another dimension. She had been talking to him for many months taking a lot of energy to keep up with the nightly chats they had.

Danny as I came to find was his name was a bright young male but I could tell he was broken just wanting the pain to stop. I wanted to help him so for three years I studied every magic book ever created. Keeping it secret because I knew Danny didn't want to face the reality of it all.

She sighed and walked out on her balcony her head drooping from lack of sleep over exhausted powers and a dark sense of lost hope. Three years we chatted ,three years Luna searched, Three years she failed to find anything. Then one day she had been looking through one of the few magic books from before starswirl the bearded and in that book she found it. What she needed a complex spell meant to cut a hole into dimensions.

Luna was thrilled as she read it over but seemed even more depressed by the end. It would kill her if she didn't perform it correctly. She trembled softly and needed time to decide to use it but when she went to talk to Danny that night what she saw she couldn't handle.

Danny was screaming internally his leg was being taken and they were starting on his arm when she had started the spell out of anger and pity. She acted as though she was in pain herself repeating the magical incantation.

After long moments a portal was ripped open over Danny and she pulled him through. But the spell was to strong for a weakened Luna so it became incomplete. Luna had collapsed without finishing dropping Danny in the everfree forest a short distance from Fluttershy's house.

When I came to Tia was by my bed pacing with worry. I couldn't help but say Danny's name before passing out again when I came to a second time I heard twilight and I mumbled Danny's name again then she brought me here. To meet young Danny.

-end of memory/story-

Danny sat there his ears flicking slightly. "Y-you were the one who saved me?" He asked tears coming to his eyes stinging his face again as he gave her a hug. "THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!" He cried out nuzzling into her wing a small smile on his face as she rubbed his back.

"You all also need to know Danny is special and has secrets please respect them he may or may not tell you one day." She stated before looking at the young colt who was looking at her curiously. When she gave him a wink and smiled his face turned red. "Y-you know?!" He whispered in surprise.

"I knew you for three years of course I know and don't worry I won't tell a sole. I know it's caused you a lot of pain." She smiled softly before coughing and laying down exhausted. "I want to sleep."

Twilight walked over and helped her up. "Ya I'll take you to your room and bring you something to eat later." She chirped walking away slowly letting Luna lean on her.

Danny and Fluttershy were left in shock but over different things. Danny slowly smiled his ear twitching softly. "C-can you believe she saved me from torture." He was so happy. His ears drooping when he saw Fluttershy's eyes. "What's wrong?" He asked expecting her to be mad at him.

Fluttershy started to tear up. "Y-you really were put through the worst possible thing and you endured for three years you poor colt." She whimpered pulling him close into a hug. "Your loved here don't ever change who you are." She cried out causing Danny to become very confused.
