Décadence

And he Hopes

Looking out toward the sky, he waited.
He should have listened, she might not have gotten as angry as she was.
He might have beenable to do something.
What was he waiting for?
for her to come back?
For her to pardon him?
For him to accept that he has been a bad assistant?
For her to tell him he was a bad one?
He should have listened...
Now it's too late, he knows it.
They all have hopes, he knows it.
He doesn't have any.
He knows it was already prepared long ago.
He though it was just another useless 'just-in-case' plan that will never be used.
He knows it's already waaay too late.
But they won't believe him, they are too hopeful.
They don't understand that it's for good this time.
They didn't even took the time to look out for him.
He was left aside again.
Unimportant.
Useless.
Funny.
Mascot-ish.
Nothing.
Why didn't she looked at him? she usually do it in those moments. It would have made him happy.
She doesn't care enough.
There wasn't ever any moment like that before.
How foolish to think she would do it.

"Spike?"
The dragon turned around instantly. It was her! she came back for him!
Nothing.
An hallucination...

"Why are you still awake? I though you were supposed to get to sleep early?"
He turned around once more.
Nothing again.
Turning back to the window he noticed the fait glimmer.
"Princess Luna?"
Why would she be here? she said she was going to look out for Twilight...
"You know something, do you? You don't have the false hope of finding her again, you don't have the will of making things right again like the other elements."
she walked slowly to stop beside him, looking out toward the sky.
"You know that you will never see her again."
"I... She had it all prepared. She's always so meticulous and preventing. I think she first did it because she though that her relation with rainbow could make problems. i think she first though to prepare it in case she needed to leave alone, or with me. The last summersun celebration made her really axious of her relation, she enjoyed it so much, I know it and she wouldn't be able to deny it. But the events from back then made her believe that it might be a problem."
the dragon sighed, looking at the stars.

"I do know where she has gone, I know she won't come back and I know she was sincere."
"If they knew, I will probably be forced to tell them where she went." he continued
"I can't tell them. She said she didn't want any of us to follow her, even if we knew where she was, i can't do this to her" slowly, a few tears started to fall on the ground.
The princess of the night looked down on him, she smiled, a compassionate smile. "You care for her, more than any of them. You care enough to let her go even if you know where she has gone. I do not know whether or not she noticed that you knew where she went, but if she did, the fact that you stayed here and let her leave will prove that you care."

"You may never see her again," she turned her look toward the sky, "But if you do, it would be better if you could show her that you really care, not with words and excuses, but by respecting her will and accepting that you dd something wrong for her." She too let out a sigh.
"I lied aerlier. I won't be looking for her, I only said that to see the reactions you all would have. Cadance doesn't want me to do it, you find it useless, The other hopes I will succes. My sister don't seem to have learned anything in the last thousand years."

She turned toward the little dragon once more. "No matter what, I will always be here if you have any problem. You will probably have to live with the other elements back at ponyville, and seeing how affected they are, things might not be as good as they were before for a long time."
He looked up at her, he already knew it, nothing will be the same, but at least now he has somepony to talk to, somepony who came to him seeing that he wasn't alright.
he nodded and looked back to the sky, a small smile on his lips.
"you should be alseep by now. Do not fret, I will watch over your dreams for you need a lot of sleep"

A bit later, as he fell asleep, he couldn't stop the though that, one day he will be able to see her again.
One day, things will be better, not as they were before, but a different kind of good.

Well done with your story here. You said that this story is a prologue to "The Crystal Twilight" yes? It said I need the "VIEW" password to view & read it.

[flowgninthgil]

well, it's actually a prologue-story for three "sister" story, I've started writing"the Crystal Twilight" and the two other are to come, and as said their names are probably gonna change.
I'm calling them sister stories because they will all happen at the same time and will influence each others, for a bit more detail, the frst one will be centered on Twilight and Rainbow after they left the castle, the second one will be focused on Luna and will start not immediatly after this story butafter some time by an event of the first story, the last one will be focused on Spike and how his life will be affected by those events wth some influence of the main six and other ponies from different places.
About the pass, I'm sorry but I'd like to finish them before publishing, it's only here because I like to let a chance for some people to try to find it or to show some friends how things are giong.
