Celestia was sitting in her room by her desk, thinking. Ever since Garnet had send her the letter that there was a spy in Ponyville, she decided to have a another look at the letter and she had discovered that Joserth might have had a spy in the castle, a guard. The thought that there was a spy in the castle made Celestia sick, she is normally a calm ruler but at the moment she felt rage towards Joserth and that he dear to bribe one of guards, she wanted to put her hands around that bastard neck and strangle him.
Celestia was so angry that she didn’t notice a letter appeared din front of her or that someone knock on the door. “Sister, are you in here?” It was Luna.
The princess of the night open the door and saw that her sister was sitting by her desk, Luna then saw the anger in her eyes and somehow she knew who she was angry at.
Luna walked in and placed a hand on her sister shoulder which brought the sun princess back. Celestia blinked a few time. “Luna, when did you arrived?” She asked her younger sister.
“Just now, I can see that you are angry, is it Joserth?” Luna was hoping she was right.
Celestia rubbed her eyes with both hands. “Yes, I just found out that he had a spy in the castle while Twilight was my student, probably to spy on Spike.”
Luna was now furious. “That fucking bastard, doesn’t he ever stop?” Luna then notice an unopened letter on her sister desk. “You have got a letter.”
Celestia had no idea what her sister was talking about but she understood when she saw the letter on her desk. “When did I get that.” She picked it up. “It must be from queen Garnet.” She open it up and started to read it. “it looks like we are going to a have a visitor, one her guard is falsely accused of being the spy in the castle, he ‘escape’ and he is going to hide in our old castle, they want our help.” She put down the letter. “I say we help her.”
Luna nodded in agreement. “I agree, but who is this guard?” She asked her sister.
“His name is Fredi, I meet him once, he is a guard that patrol the garden at the castle.” Celestia then stood up. “We can talk about this later, right now I want to find out who the spy was in this castle.” She then headed out the door and Luna followed her, she was not going to miss this.
The sisters walk towards the captain’s room in the castle, if Celestia was going to find any answer it was there. Celestia open the door very hard, the door slammed against the wall scaring the pony there. “Princess Celestia?” The pony was a male pegasus, grey fur with white hair, he was currently wearing the normal solar armor. “Is there a reason you are trying to destroy my door?” He asked Celestia as he started to pick up the paper he lost on the floor. The sister walk in and Luna closed the door.
“Yes, I need your help Sky Scraper, I think there was a spy in the castle and I need the paper od guard or maids that quit the day of Summer Sun celebration two years ago.”
Sky Scraper stop he was doing and look at Celestia as she has gone made. “Are you telling me there was a spy in this castle?” Celestia nodded. “For how long?”
“Around eighteen years.”
Now Sky knew she was mad. “I assure you princess Celestia, if there was a spy here for eighteen years I would have known. But, I can find try and find the papers of ponies that quit two years ago.” He then walk over to file cabin and open the top drawer. “Let’s see here.” It didn’t take long before he found what he was looking for. “Here we are.” He pull up a file folder. “There was on guard that quit that day,” He open the folder. “his name is Steel Strike, he is an earth pony.” Sky handed Celestia the folder.
Celestia took the folder and open it, she saw the picture of a brown earth pony with black mane. “Steel Striker, he became a guard the day after I Twilight hatch Spike from his egg and the eighteen years he was a guard he was posted not far from Twilight’s room in the castle.” She then look at Sky. “Did you know him?” She asked him.
Sky nodded. “Yes, he was your averaged guard and he could be promoted many time but he never did, he want to be a normal guard.”
The Luna spoke up. “It says that he quit the day after I came back, that sounds suspicious to me.”
Celestia hummed. “Maybe, do you know where he went after he quit.” She asked the captain.
Sky had to think for a moment. “I know he left Canterlot but I have no idea where he is now, he hasn’t contact me.”
The sister gave each other a worried look. “Thank you for your help captain.” Celestia placed the folder on the table, then they left. Sky just saluted.
After their visit to the captain, the sister walk towards Celestia’s room. There was no way they could find Steel Strike, he could be anywhere, he was probably not in Equestria anymore and therefor it would be impossible to find him. Even Luna couldn’t find him, here dream magic could only work in Equestria. The had to give to in finding him for now, all they could do was to help queen Garnet and that means help Fredi. Luna volunteered to help him and Celestia was happy that her sister wanted to do it.
Night had arrived in Equestria and Fredi had finally arrived at old castle in Everfree forest, he landed in front of the castle. “Drake wants to me hide here?” He look at the castle and it look like it haven’t been used in century. Fredi had read the story about how Luna became jealous at her sister and that she became Nightmare Moon and that she got imprison in the moon. “I guess sisterly love doesn’t solve everything.” He then walk into the castle.
Once inside he could see sign of battle, there was scorch marks on the floor, walls and ceiling. “Wow, it must been quit the battle.” He mumbled to himself.
But, someone heard him. “That it was.” The new voice scared the crap out of Fredi, he turned around and there stood princess Luna. “It was here I became Nightmare Moon and where I tried to kill my own sister, not my proudest moment.” She then let out a sad sighed while Fredi wondered if he should say something or not. “Anyway.” Never mind. “I have brought you some supplies for your time hiding here and a sleeping bag.” She handed him a backpack and sleeping bag, he gladly took them. “I will check up on you for time to time, to see if you need anything.”
That made Fredi smiled. “Thanks, for helping me.”
Luna also smiled. “You are welcome Fredi. Now, if you will excuse me, I have night court which is SO boring.” She said with whiny voice which made Fedi snicker a little.
Luna teleported away leaving Fredi alone in his new home, he really hope that he wouldn’t have to stay here long. “Well, time to find a room to sleep in.” He walk further into the castle.
