Chapter 13 : Renewal
Chapter 13
Renewal
The castle entrance was breath taking; the stone floor was polished to almost mirror finish, it was a copy of Canterlot both on the inside and outside. The doors closed behind me and the delegates. Trixie was laying on one of the banisters leading up the stairs to the right.
“Pretty sweet huh?” she said
“Yes very, both you and Luna did this?” said the Mayor
“Of course we did who else would?”
Trixie’s pompous attitude was interrupted by the arrival of Princess Luna; all the other delegates cleared a path for her and bowed as she walked passed.
“This is now your new home”
“Pardon, Princess?” said a confused Mayor Mare
“You will all find a room for you in this castle on floors 6 through 9”
“Thank you your highness” said Rarity
“It’s my pleasure. Come. I will show you where the rooms are”
We all followed Luna up the grand staircase, I obviously used my wings. I hadn’t used them for so long and it felt good to use them when ever needed. All the windows leading up the staircase were clear whereas in Canterlot they were stain glass portraits of famous ponies throughout history, maybe we had to fill them?
The princess personally showed us to our rooms. The three floors were in a circular tower, each floor had 10 rooms and a staircase leading up to the next floor in a spiral. The doors had our names engraved in the middle of the wooden doors on a golden plaque. The rooms were very nice, an oval hall with a door to the left and right of a large fire place in the middle.
We became fewer and fewer as each pony got their room, now it was just me and Luna. As we walked up the spiral staircase I plucked up the courage to talk to her.
“So your highness”
“Please call me Luna when there is nopony else around”
“Okay...Luna. How did you create this castle?”
“I thought you were good at history Whirlwind?”
“I am, but not of castles”
“My mother granted me and my sister a spell to create our own castle, one day time and one night time. But I and my sister decided to rule the land together and not as rivals, so we created a small castle in the Everfree forest known as the Castle of the Pony Sisters to which we could rule the land together. But after Nightmare Moon was banished to the moon along with myself I think the pain of living in a castle built for both of us was too much for my sister to bear so she created Canterlot Castle and the city.”
We now arrived at my room which was at top of the tower. I opened the door and instead of a fire place was an open balcony, I was so relieved. In my excitement I ran out on to the balcony and took a deep breath of clean fresh air.
“Happy?”
“Oh yes your highness, very”
“Well I thought keeping you in a room with no windows would be harsh, since you love to fly”
I was too busy looking at the room, bedroom behind the right door and a bathroom behind the left door.
“It’s perfect your highness, thank you”
“My pleasure Whirlwind, now get some rest, I get the feeling you need it”
“Once again you’re correct your highness, how come you know so much about us?”
“I and my sister all have an emotional bond with all ponies; we can tell if somepony is tired, scared or happy, wherever they are in the world”
I looked at Luna with concern
“Don’t worry, the barrier hides our emotions from Celestia; there is no way she can find us here. But if she does I will need your help”
“My help?”
“Yes, you were in the Dawnguard so you have a better understanding of military tactics than all of the ponies on this island put together, I need you and others to protect this land and what we have been blessed with. Can I count on you?”
“Yes your highness...”
Luna smiled then closed the door behind her with her magic, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I walked out on to the balcony and took in the scenery, the moon was full and casting a glow onto the land below. This place was truly paradise; I could see why Faust gave this island to Luna and Celestia to play in.
This island was worth defending but I had nopony else to protect it with. Maybe Caramel and a few others but that wouldn’t be enough to stop a whole battle hardened army, not to mention a navy and an air force. Still, even the armies of history had to start somewhere, they all had to start from the bottom but there is one thing they all had in common, a great leader.
Celestia commands an army of conscripts who were torn away from their families and forced to fight. If we could not defeat them on the battle front then maybe we could beat them on the home front. I gave another yawn, all this decision making had to wait until morning I was tired and ready to hit the hay.
As I lay my head down on my soft white pillow, my final thoughts turned to the ponies that we had left behind in Equestria and to Rainbow Dash, my only friend; would she ever forgive me if we were to meet again? Would she ever speak to me let alone look at me? I couldn’t afford to lose her, not again.
The End

I've been deceived! I most definitely thought this was a doc whooves fic.
779387
Yeah I didn't realise until last week when someone told me. What do you think of it?
784241 It's pretty good, in general. some parts were unclear, like what happened with the turbine and her friendship with dash. Also, you mentioned pinkie as a filly when princess luna was around? that doesn't make seeense!
786214
The turbine was destroyed
"The turbine was a smouldering wreck"
Whirlwind and Dash kept in touch when Dash was with Twilight and the mane 6 but it had long spaces between letters and calls (work)
["Dashie made new friends in Ponyville and made a good name for herself, she was known as one of the Protectors of Equestria after defeating Nightmare Moon and Discord with the Elements of Harmony. We would remain in contact but it was a long time between calls: work always got in my way."
"Also, you mentioned pinkie as a filly when princess luna was around"
Did I, damn I'll change it. Can you tell me where in story that I mentioned her as a filly, I would appreciate it thanks
786920 think it was chapter three. Anyway, only issue I have is how the heck did the turbine explode??
787005
The turbine spins in one direction to suck in air, Whirlwind flew so fast ageist the air flow that the turbine span in the opposite direction and broke (the turbines are built for suction and not blow)

2178909 Hay thanks very much. I've always wanted to get into publishing and make a career out of it. Publishing fanfiction?
nah its all free.
This kind of reminds me of one of the first fics I ever read. It was called 'Friendship is forever' and a bit of it involves something similar to this. I love this Fic on to the next
.
2344890 Thanks. FYI I've never read "Friendship is forever" but I'll have to now and see is there are any similarities.
Woo hoo 400 views! It might not be a big deal for some up it is for me. Thanks.
2679207 There is indeed, look on my profile. There's also a part 3 and I'm nearly finished with part 4. I should put a link to the next part in the series at the end of each story. I'll do that now.
2679526
Kinda feel stupid now. (also yes this is still me just had to use my brothers profile to find out about your fic. my explanation for that is simply youtube.)
Yes I noticed that when I looked to my right.
Not gonna lie, I was hoping for more rainbow dash but you've got me hooked now
onwards with part 2 
500 views yay!
Amazing cover art. Did you draw them all? Or did some one do it for you?
And same with the title it's awesome.
3341304 I made them myself. I just used photoshop, I'm no artist but I'm quite proud of them. I just wish I could find or create a vector for male Whirlwind.
The title was series was originally called The Oncoming Storm but as you can see in the first comment a lot of people were expecting a Dr. Whooves fic.
Thanks
this was amazing
