The beginning
Author's Note:
This chapter is dedicated to be visions, This occurred before Luna became Nightmare Moon.
The Princess of Ponyville walked along the pavement, she was looking around her small Kingdom. She was a snow white mare, her Mane was a bright Cyan color. Her eyes were bright bluish-green, and she had a dark blue crown with teal circles on end.
' Even if given the change, I would never leave Ponyville for a bigger Kingdom.' she thought to herself as she walked along the path.
She reached a opening at the beginning of the forest. This is where she was headed she needed to talk to Luna, and she rarely got the chance. She walked through the opening as the plants let her through. The plants were calm as always, they let anyone pass into the forest if they did not feel threatening. She kept walking into the forest as the inhabitants fell back, sometimes she thought they were bowing. In their own way. She kept going, even when a ivy stem stuck a thornless rose into her mane. It had fallen of the bush, so no harm had come to the little plant. She gently put a frost spell on it, making sure it would not die soon as well as making turn a bluish color. That was more her style. The Princess kept walking until she heard a loud " AHHHHHH!" nearby. Her first thought was to run to the sound and help whoever was in danger.
" AHHHHHH! Somepony help me!" A unicorn said he was a greyish brown, with a black mane. His eyes were a bright gold, and he had a dragon tooth hanging around his neck. He was hanging upside down from a black Ivy Vine.
" Hold on i'm coming!" A familiar voice said.
" P-princess?" he asked not wanting to disappoint her.
" Yes, shut up and let me get there!"
The Princess of Ponyville stood on one end of the entrance and Princess Luna of the night was on the other end.
" Luna?"
" Papillion?"
" You can do that later, Now help me before-" He was cut of by a vine wrapping around his muzzle, cutting him from speech.
The two Princess used her magic to un-tangle him from the angry vines.
" What did you do this time?" They both said at the same time.
" I was just studying the Poison Joke, and accidentally plucked a petal and then these crazy vines picked me up, gassed me, and then tied me up." He said shuddering at the memory.
" Why were you messing with that flower in the first place, " Papillion started as her friend Luna finished her sentence.
" There is a curse set upon those flowers, you should know they are very-" she said as her expression narrowed
" Dangerous!" they said finishing each other's sentence.
" Oh please, there is no such thing as curses!" He said with a roll of his eyes.
" You will soon eat those words Baris." Luna said gesturing to his hoof, were fur was falling off.
" AH!" He said jumping back and shaking his hoof like he could shake the curse off.
" Told you." Papillion said, walking over to Princess Luna and giving her a hug.
" My friend, there is much we need to talk about. You coming Baris, or do we have to drag you?" Papillion said looking back at the frazzled Unicorn
" What? Oh yes coming." He said lifting himself off the plush green grass.
" What do you mean Ponyville is in danger." Princess Celestia said as she looked at Papillon with narrowed eyes
" I don't know for sure-" Papillion started before she was cut off.
" Then there is no need to make a fuss about it." The Princess said scoffing
Princess Luna banged her hoof on the gold painted table
" thither is no needeth to treat mine cousin that way sister, alloweth that lady finished sentence are thee but in!" Luna yelled slipping into the the Canterlot voice.
" Luna!" Celestia growled narrowing her eyes.
" Is now a good time to buy in, I found something you might want to see your highness." Baris Alon said cutting in, his hoof wrapped in bandages.
" Yes thank-" Celestia started before she noticed Baris giving the letter to Luna instead of her.
The young Stallion noticed her look and simply said,
" My loyalty is To both you and your sister Princess of the Sun, but Luna comes first-" He narrowed his eyes when he finished " Always." he said as he looked back to Luna, leaving a dumfoaled Celestia. That is until a Greyish white unicorn with a long white beard, as well as bright blue eyes. Walked in, his long star colored cape and long hat jingling with bells. This was StarSwirl the Bearded.
" Ah, StarSwirl. How are you this fine evening?" She asked her eyes lighting up.
" Oh you know, just like always. " He said adjusting his hat.
" I just need to make an announcement, to the whole royal court." He said gesturing to the whole room.
" Oh good Papillion, you're here. You know the forest is rather strange, I thought I saw one that was Iced over." He said to the quiet Princess, laughing. She opened her eyes in shock of being addressed, still embarrassed by being chewed out by the Princess of the Sun.
" Oh yes, anyway. A Royal couple from the North, wanted to make alliances. They have sent a letter, for your permission." He said proudly.
" Now where did I put it?" He said making a circle in pursuit of the letter.
" I believe, Baris has given it to my sister." Celestia said narrowing her eyes at Luna. Luna only grinned.
" Yes indeed, I have already signed and said that we will be making attendance." said said backing away to the door as soon as she saw her sister's eye twitch. as she mouthed
'RUN!" to her friends as she preformed a teleportation spell, transporting her to Ponyville. She could hear her sister screaming her name even from the little town.
Some could say Luna was unworthy to be royal, she was indeed a troublemaker. And loved a good prank, but when it came down to defending her friends. She would blow down mountains to save them. Tia however, could save herself. She didn't care, if she did she would act like it. Luna thought, Tears misting her eyes. They stopped when she saw the flash of light, that teleported her friends to the small town.
" So Papillion, you needed to talk?" she asked a smile gracing her face, before met with a scowl from her adviser.
" What made you think that you could disable your sister like that, What happens when she finds you. Or the letter, what if-" He said pacing back and forth muttering, before a kind hoof stopped him.
" What if she was just being a kind friend, that was trying to save my honor." Papillion said, calming him down.
" That however does not mean you are off the hook, Luna!" She snapped, and when she snapped at you it was worse than being sent to Tartarus. Her eyes shrunk to pin pricks as she said what she thought were her last words.
" Oh, Horsefeathers!"
