There was a flash in the throne room as Celestia, Luna, and Eclipse teleport in. the guards tense at first but then relax upon seeing the princess and the general with an unknown.

"Well, this has been a night." Eclipse yawned and he stretched. "I suppose we should get Luna to her room."

"I need you to handle that. I really need some sleep" Celestia said tiredly as she left the room giving them both a quick hug on the way out. One of the guards walk up to Eclipse and salutes him. Eclipse salutes back.

"At ease," Eclipse says to the guard. The guard relaxes

"Sir I was wondering who the unknown is next to you as both you as the princess seem to know her." the guard asks. Nervous that his question might be out of line.

"This is Princess Luna who has been away for the past thousand years due to an... accident that happened. You are to treat her as you would me or Celestia, there will be an announcement tomorrow about this." Eclipse informs the guard "Also what is your name soldier" Eclipse questions him.

"Corporal Iron Broadside sir" the now named Broadside salutes.

"Broadside huh. I've come across your name before when I was reading the academy papers for new recruits, and who is your partner there." Eclipse gestures to the other guard still in position.

"That's Private First Class Midnight Arrow" Iron answers

'Huh, those two. I've read their profiles they are very talented. I wonder if I can bring out anymore possible hidden skill. Yes that sounds like fun. plus it's been awhile since I've trained someone' Eclipse thought to himself "Broadside bring your partner over here." Eclipse orders.

"Yes sir" Iron walks over to Midnight and says a couple words. they both come back over.

"You wanted to see me sir" Midnight salutes.

"Yes. you see I've read both of your academy papers as well as your current profiles and I have to say I'm impressed." Eclipse praises them "but." he continues "there is always room to improve which is why I'm going to offer you two something, and you have every right to refuse" Eclipse informs them.

"What is it sir?" Iron asks.

"I've decided to train the two of you." Eclipse revealed they both looked stunned

"Sir?" Midnight questions wondering if the general is saying what he thinks he is saying

"Of course, that is if you want to," Eclipse assured

"I would be honored General " Iron responds with a salute

"As would I," Midnight says saluting as well.

"Well it's decided then after the announcement tomorrow meet me at training ground 7." he informs them "you can go back to your posts" Eclipse dismisses them. They salute one last time and go back to their post. Eclipse turns back to Luna.

"How long has it been since you last trained someone?" Luna asked curious Eclipse looked to be in thought for a moment.

"Long enough that my last student was Starswirl" Eclipse informed.

"You really haven't taken a student since then?" she questions

"Nope." he says as he shakes his head "been busy." he starts walking to Luna's room she follows

"There's something I should mention." Eclipse said absentmindedly.

"What?" Luna asks curiously

"We still share a room." Eclipse smiled as the back of his head

"Alright. Not that I wanted separate rooms anyway." she yawned putting a hoof to her mouth.

"Getting tired are we?" Eclipse joked but then yawned

"And so are you." Luna retorted.

"Yeah, it has been a long night" Eclipse grunted as he stretched.

"Yes it has" she agreed as they stopped in front of a door with a crescent moon and a solar eclipse on the door. Luna looked at Eclipse questioningly.

"I liked the original door design so I kept it." Eclipse replied.

"More like you brought the door with you, and you can't say that's a different door," Luna stated pointing at the door.

"Me and Celestia didn't want to have new doors commissioned, so we just kept the doors from the old castle," Eclipse responded opening the door. Behind the door was a room decorated with various objects and furniture. There is a bed in the middle of the back and next to it is a nightstand. There are 5 different suits of armor on the left wall, and right next to the armor is a weapon rack with a massive broadsword, a scythe, two medium sized daggers, a quarterstaff, a warhammer, a bow, and a spear. On the other side of the armor is a door leading to a balcony. On the right side, there is a medium sized dresser with a mirror. On the left of the dresser is a door leading to a bathroom. On the right of the dresser and somewhat tucked in the corner is a desk with various paperwork on it, a couple quills, a couple bottles of ink, two ink stamps, two wax stamps, and some books. And next to the desk is a bookshelf with various books.

"So you kept the room similar as well. including all your toys" Luna said gesturing toward the assortment of weapons on the wall.

"You should know how much I like weapons" Eclipse mutters as he looks at the arsenal of weapons.

"Yes, I'm fully aware of how much you like your pointy objects." Luna says as she rolls her eyes as she walks into the room "but that doesn't explain why you kept it almost exactly the way it was"

"I didn't feel like changing it after the way it was for the thousands of years we lived there," Eclipse he followed her.

"So you were lazy and didn't feel like changing it." Luna clarified

"Yeah pretty much. Remember what happened last time I decided to change a room." Eclipse recalled the horror that was his room decorating skills.

"Yes, I remember. You kept changing the room because you couldn't decide where to put anything." Luna sighed remembering clearly what had happened "Well I guess that's enough reminiscing for one night." she yawned as she got into the bed followed by Eclipse who got out of his armor.

"Yeah, I guess so." Eclipse yawned as well "good night Lulu. love you." he said as he put one of his wings to cover her and then kissed her goodnight.

"Good night Clipsy and Love you too," Luna said quietly as she snuggled into his chest as they both fell asleep.
