Next Morning, Nightfall gets ready to head off to school, with Fluttershy walks him out. “Are you sure you don’t want me to walk you to school?” “Yes.” Nightfall says bluntly. “O-Okay… W-Will be safe, don’t talk to stranger, and be careful of cart when crossing the road. Do you understand?” “Yes.” “O-Okay.” Fluttershy Kiss Nightfall while embracing him in a hug, she stayed like that until Nightfall spoke. “Fluttershy, I’m going to be late for school.” “O, s-sorry… Are you sure you don’t want me to walk you to School?” Nightfall exhale to her question being asks again. “Yes. Fluttershy “O-Okay, w-well have a nice day.” Nightfall walks down the path to town. Reaching school, filly and colt alike were staring at him; Learning about him staying alone, wow them.
School continues as normally, with a few filly and colt trying to talk to him, but blown off, by awkward no reply, or the aura he was giving off. As school end, he was about to begin his walk to his next destination. “Nightfall!” Apple Bloom calls his name, three fillies walks toward to him, as he turns around. “Hi Nightfall” “Yes, what is it?” His reply was bored, and straight to the point. “W-Will we were wondering…” Sweetie Belle stammers with a blushful shy smile. If ya would wanted to, liked to play with us.” Applebloom finishes. “No thanks.” “O-okay.” Sweetie Belle tilts her head downward. “See told you he was going to say no! Let go already!” scootaloo bark out of anger. Nightfall continue to his destination. Rainbow dash, flying overhead doing some trick spot Nightfall, she fallow him. Reaching his new home, he sees Fluttershy waiting for him. “H-how was school?” She spoke as Nightfall gets closer. “It was okay.” “Did something happen?” “No.” As soon as Nightfall reaches her, she warps her forearms around him in a hug. “Welcome home." Rainbow sees this; tsk at the scene, and fly off.
Celestia decided to leave at the moment with her schedule being clear for the rest of the day. But before leaving, she wrote Twilight a letter.
'Dear Twilight Sparkles'
'I’m to arrive in Ponyville in an hour from now; I wish to see this colt you mention in your last letter. Please do not speak of my visiting, I wish for not to attract a large crowd. I would not mind thou, if you gather the elements of harmony; your friends to great me, I wish to see them. I will arrive in front of Fluttershy cottage, so we can have a private gathering.'
'Princess Celestia'
Celestia sends the letter off, in a puff of smoke. She exits her quarter, turning to a guard. “I’m to leave the castle, make sure the chariot is ready once I reach the front of the castle.” “Yes Princess.” He solute and fly off. As she approaches the front castle doors, her name is call. “Celestia!” Celestia turn around to see her sister, walking up toward her. “Where are you going?” “I’m heading to ponyville to gather with Twilight and her friends, would you care to join me.” “Yes, I been meaning to return there, wish to take part in the festive that is coming up.” “Aw you’re talking about Nightmare Night.” “Yes, my first time at attaining was how I should say, it could have gone better, but a least toward the end things lighting up. This time, it’ll be better.” “I’m glad to hear that.” They exist the Castle, their chariot already prepare wait for the princess arrival.
Back in the Library, Twilight is looking over some books. Spike was on a stool when a force fire burp came forth, knocking him backward on to the floor. “Spike, are you okay?!” Twilight ran up to him. “Yeah” “What happen?” “It’s a letter from the princess.” Spike lifts the letter in his claw, Twilight magic grid it. “What does it say?” Spike asks, as Twilight unrolls it. “It says…. That the princess is coming over!!! She wants to meet the colt Fluttershy had adopted, Nightfall. And she will be arriving any minute at Fluttershy cottage! Come, we have to gather everyone.” She lift spike up in her magic, placing him on his book, and ran out the library closing the door with her magic.
Nightfall is in the living on the coach room reading, while fluttershy attain to some animal injury. A knock on the door cause her to rise. “Hello” “Fluttershy it’s me Twilight!” She opens the door to see all her friends. “I-Is something wrong?” “Will not exactly, the Princcess is-“Twilight explanation is cut off by the wind blowing as a chariot touch ground. “P-Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna!” Everyone rush over and bow. “Rise Twilight Sparkle and friends.” “Princesses, it’s so nice to see you.” “Yes, like wise. Now we’re that colt that I heard so much about?” “Colt?” Fluttershy spoke. “Yes, I told the princcess about him, and she wish to meet him, can you go and get him?” “O-Of course.” Flutterhsy runs aback to the cottage as other follow, standing by the door she calls out. “N-Nightie, can you come here?” Cause a few giggle almonds the group at the nickname. Nightfall walks out seeing the two princcess, he freeze, hesitate to leave the house for a minute, long enough for those who watching him to notice. He proceeds and stand next to Fluttershy, now looking at the Princcess of the sun, who observe him.
“So this is him…” Celestia spoke. “So you came to see this colt sister, he’s adorable; such beatify coat, and mane, but oddly familiar.” Luna spoke. “Yes your right Luna… I can’t put my hoof on it though. Young one, come closer.” He takes a few steps forward. “Sister look, his cutie mark!!!” Luna point out in a surprise manner. “Twilight Sparkle told me you’re talented in magic, but it’s rather hard to believe all she wrote, and by the look of your age, of such a thing. Can you show me?” Nightfall looks up at her for a moment, then his horn glow. “Sister look, he have two color aura!” Luna point out in wonder. “Yes…, I see Luna.” he levitate himself in the air then lower himself back on the ground, next he teleport, then makes a shield, and last but not least he manifests a claw hand out of his aura, the color of it being black and red, this tuck Luna by surprise, Celestia too, but she hide it well. “Such strength of magic and skills, and so young, and I never seen one that had two color auras too. This cannot be possible.” Luna spoke in disbelief. “Yes… your right Luna, at such a young age, he should not be able to do such things…” Celestia pass for a moment.
“Who taught you young one?” “I taught myself.” “Now that is rather hard to believe.” It’s true.” “You’re telling me not only did you taught yourself concentration needed to release magic, and comprehended the steps, and understanding of how it works.” “That within itself would take unicorn years to master, even Twilight here, who is gifted as such, could not perform some of the few spell you just display… And in term, you should not even be able to too, not even levitation spell, the most common spell there is, never mind the advances spells you just cast.” Celestia explains. “You pick up on it fast, when your life is on the line. Nightfall “Everyone went silent, hearing such words from a cult, it felt unease. “Then what of creating your own spell, this as well is even hard to believe, even know I know Twilight would never lie to me. But logic speaks of this should not be possible. She spoke of this rather complex storage spell, can you show me it.” “Of courses, I’ll need a small bag, a bit holder if you will.” “Here, I have one.” Twilight spoke as she walks up to him. “Here, hold your bits.” Nightfall empty out the content in Twilight hoofs. Then he lit his horn up, the aura of it cover the bag, then disappear. “Finish” “Now what?” Luna asks. “Put something that should not logically fit in the bag.” “Go ahead Luna.” Celestia spoke to her sister.
Luna walks up to the young colt, her crown glow with her aura, as she lower it in the bag, but it would not fit. “What, it doesn’t work?” Luna said. “I see, your crown is not normal, some items can’t be put unless the owner of that item, which the items arrive from, who if that item is magically in coated with that pony aura. The only way for it’ll take it, if is the pony that own that item does the spell.” “What?!” Dash spoke in the back. “Please Princess Luna; try something else, something that’s not a part of you.” “Um okay, Luna looks around and spots a stick; she levitates it to the entrance of the bag, and slowly proceeded to put it in. At first, it felt as if any minute, the stick will poke the bottom of the bag, which even when half of it was in, the consist watch of the bottom did not weaver. When the stick was all the way in. “W-What happen to it?” Luna asks.” “See for yourself.” Nightfall lift the bag up with his magic, open it for Luna to see the five foot stick shrink to a bit. “My word I do say, sister, sister you must see this!” Luna calls for her sister to come forth. “I see, and this is a spell you created.” Celestia ask. “Yes one of a few.” “This, it can’t be truth, nor possible for such a young one to do, to control, to create, to will sister!” Luna clams. “Yes, I agree sister…. Do you mind telling me your origin?” Celestia asks. “No.” the rejection was flat. Everyone one surprise but Fluttershy, who maternal instincts kick in, she ran to cover Nightfall body with her own, only leaving his head exposes.
“What! So you do have something to high, the princess herself asks you and you just reject her.” Rainbow Dash shouts. “It’s a personal matter.” He told her and everyone around. “Personal?” You’re a colt, what matter is personal to you?!” “It’s okay Ms. Dash, if he wish to not tell, then he have all the right to do so. Don’t worry Fluttershy I want do anything to the young one.” “Really, but I would still like this.” Fluttershy spoke, with no indication of fear or shy in her voice.” “Fluttershy” Twilight yells not in anger, but in fear of worry. “See I told you so, he did something to her! Princess Celestia, that colt did something to Fluttershy!” Rainbow Dash yells. “Rainbow Dash” Applejack yell back to silent her friend. “No she’s right.” Everyone freeze up. “I see this spell acted on so many ponies before. I myself have falling prey to it before, and I’m still under the influence of it now. It’s call love.” Everypony relaxes, but Rainbow Dash.
“He’s truly gifted, and saying as such would be an understatement. I would like to offer him a position into one of our school in Canterlot close to the castle. “That’s great!” Twilight spoke out “You’re going to have so much fun their Nightfall.” Fluttershy clinch Nightfall harder in her fore hoof. “T-That’s okay, he don’t need it.” Fluttershy spoke, her voice shaken. They all saw the fire in her eyes though, they would need to fight her to let the young colt go, Nightfall himself looks to be in a dazes eyes half shut “Fluttershy we understand how you feel, bu-” “Know you don’t, you don’t understand, You don’t know how I feel, not even the tiny bit, you’re asking me to give up my colt!” Her voice rouses a little as she cut off Rarity. “Fluttershy…, this will better help him in so many ways, ways that you can’t.” “B-but.” Flutterhsy stutter as tears collect in her eyes. “I’m sorry, but if you really love him as your own, then let him go to Canterlot.” Twilight finishes. Fluttershy muzzling the black colt in her grasp, with tears falling from her eyes. “O-okay, sorry.” “It’s understandable; you can visit him any time you’ll like. You’re welcome to the campus at any time.” “T-Thank you, princess.” Fluttershy said looking up at her. “Very well, I’ll make the arrangement for him to-” “Who said I agree to this.” Nightfall spoke still in Flutterhsy forearms. “I’m staying her with Fluttershy.” Everypony went silent.
“But Nightfall with this, you could meet other unicorns.” Rarity spoke. “What good does that do me, I’m fine here.” “There, you’ll be open to a large resource of material, such as books, and be able to learn from the best in the land.” Twilight add. “Learning from another pony would take too long, when I can read and absorbs the books containing the information. And beside all the books that will be open to me all have the same information, just worded differently.” Everypony just stare at him. “Young one…Nightfall is it, you’re refusing an offering from my sister, must pony would be thrill at the chance, and beside that it’s an offer from Celestia herself, you do understand this, right?” Luna explains with a somewhat cool tone, making Fluttershy grip more around Nightfall. “Yes Princess Luna, I understand, but still not wish to go.” He answers bluntly. “Why, don’t you understand this could open doors for you, lead you into a life of wealth and luxury.” “Should I find that appealing.” “Will…Yes don’t you want to expand more, I would even let you borrow the Castle library.” Celestia spoke. “Thank you for the offer, but I only wish to continue my research, and even in the vase of the Castle library, I want find the books that will father me alone my goal.” “And what is your goal?” “That is personal.” Everypony was stupefied. Celestia felt as if she never been talk to like that, which she haven’t. This child shows no fear for them, and they know even if he was barely out of being a foal, he had the mind of a young stallion. “Very well, it’s was nice meeting you Nightfall, and it was good to see you Twilight and your friends again, come alone Luna.” The two princesses walk back to their chariot. “It was nice to meet you Princess Luna.” Colt said as they began they’re decent to the heaven.
Nightfall broke away from Flutterhshy grip and walks toward the cottage door. “W-Wait a minute, where are you going, you think after that you can just walk away. I don’t care what the other says, I want answer now; who are you!?” Rainbow Dash shouts. But that did not stop Nightfall to enter the cottage. Rainbow Dash rush to the door, but was stop by Fluttershy. “Fluttershy what are you doing, you saw all of that, you hear what he said!” “Yes I did, he want to stay with me. And I did not give you permission to enter my home.” Flutttershy spoke, with anger present in her voice. “Don’t be stupid, that’s not even your kid in there, you don’t know anything about him.” Rainbow Dash shouts. “Leave.” She spoke in a hush tone, her head tilted downward. “What?” “Leave!” Flutterhsy shouts as she rushes in side, shutting the door. Rainbow Dash starts to bang on the door. “Flutthershy don’t be stupid, he’s dangerous, Fluttershy!”
Rainbow Dash is kick sideways. “What are you doing?” Rainbow Dash yells. “I should be asking you the same thing! What’s wrong with you Rainbow Dash!?” Applejack shouts. “Nothing is wrong with me, I’m protecting my friend!” “What is your probable with Nightfall?” Rarity asks walking up. “Did you not hear the way he talked to the princess, and he’s hiding something, if he wasn’t then he want have a probable telling us about where he from.” “First of all Rainbow, he’s not hiding anything, he have a right to the privacy of his life, second of all he did not speak badly to the princess, it was all just blunt, like if he was talking to any other pony, and they did not seem to mind.” Twilight spoke. “Then what about his cutie mark, if that’s not a sign that he’s evil then what is. Zorcora, and the princceess froze up at the sight of it, even other pony did.” “His cutie mark has something to do with magic Rainbow, as you can see the horn of the skull glow an aura of black and red.” Rarity spoke. “Then what about the skull it’s self huh?!” “It’s just that, a unicorn skull.” “How are you so sure, and blind?!” “I gave up; just know this, that you’re risking your friendship with Fluttershy. She accept Nightfall as her son, her colt, she truly accept him as if he was her own flesh and blood. And for you to keep acting that way toward him you’re risking Fluttershy friendship.” Rarity spoke. “But!” “She’s right; you’re going to lose one of your best friends over something that is nothing.” Applejack spoke. “…Fine! Don’t say that I didn’t tell you so!” Rainbow rush to the sky, leaving behind a streak of color. “Twilight, are you okay, you seen out of it?” Rarity asks. “Rarity you saw it, he have so much magic skills, and on top of that, he taught himself all those spell, spell that should not be possible for him to perform at such a young age, spell that would take years of understanding and learning, spell that should drain you of a large portion of your magic, and don’t even get me started on him creating his own spell.” Twilight spoke in muse. “Yeas dear, I’m surprise too.” They stand there for a couple of moments. “Fluttershy, were going to go now, sorry for the trouble, bye.” Twilight shout toward the door.
