I sat up coughing for air. I pushed my mane out of my face noticing I was still alone as the door to the room was shut. I moved over to the window trying to cool myself off. leaning against the window frame I closed my eyes listening to the rain falling. I could hear the wind blowing and howling along the many areas of the castle. Lighting streaked across the sky before thunder followed it. listening to the weather I finally found myself calmed down to the point I could try and sleep again.
I found myself soon moved causing me to open my eyes. I had fallen asleep leaning against the window seal with the window open. it was still raining outside but not as heavy as last night. Yawning I rubbed my hooves noticing Luna staring at me. I blinked a bit smiling at her.
“Good morning”
“How are you feeling? Can you breathe?” her hooves rested on my cheeks as I stared at her.
“I am breathing Luna. I am fine as well” leaning in I kissed her nose softly “Breakfast sounds good at the moment” my voice was soft as I tried to get up on my hooves. They felt a bit shaky. I started to move toward the door falling to the floor and sighing.
“Your ego is showing”
“I need to heal. I need to be stronger” I got to my hooves feeling her wing wrapping around me. I started to walk with her as we moved to the dining room. Celestia was reading the paper as Twilight was humming writing a list down. I sat at the table noticing a cup of coffee being placed in front of me with a plate of waffles.
“Good morning sister, Silver how was your evening”
“Fine, fell asleep listening to the rain storm last night” I picked up the fork and kept it in a tight grip. I could feel Luna’s eyes burning a hole through me. my gaze looked up at her and gave her a glare back.
“She had a nightmare, but then most had one due to the storm last night” she was cold and I am going to get it in the room later. I quickly finished off the waffles causing her to slam her cup down.
“Silver did you eat?”
“Yes, just hungry”
“Silver Sky Crystal-Skull did you eat?”
“No, I have not eaten since dinner” I sighed as I picked up the coffee sipping on it.
“Damn it Silver this happens every time. Anytime there is a fight or war that is about to happen you forget to eat. I will not be having you train after you get medically cleared by Red if you will not eat” she growled as I stayed silent. my ears went back but I deserve her anger. I cleaned my muzzle and nodded. I placed the empty coffee cup down smiling.
“I will be in the room organizing a list of spells I want to teach Twilight along with some safe books that I think will help most barrier training” I moved from the table leaving it in silence. Once I was out of the room I softly sigh as I crashed to the ground. I forced myself up and shuffled my way to the room. I was able to shut the door allowing me to hang my head. I was falling into my bad habits again. placing my glasses down on my trunk I pulled my mane down. Sitting in front of the window I worked on my mane thinking holding a brush would be easy.
“Grandmother?” turning my head I noticed Sweet Night standing at the door.
“What's wrong Night?” I placed the brush down smiling.
“Are you fighting with Luna?”
“What makes you say that?”
“Tea heard her yelling at you” he had the look of worried most family members had on their faces lately.
“Your dear old grandmother is falling into her bad habits. For once in my life, I just want to stay in one place with the mare or stallion that I am dating. At the moment that means I want to stay in one place and just love Luna. I am doing stupid stuff because I am not eating and I am thinking of other stuff I need to get done. I am worried I can not make the right list or” I sighed rubbing my head as I could feel myself rambling.
“Just tell her.”
“If it was that easy Night. Wait till you and Tea find the right pony for you” I chuckled as I watched him walk out of the room closing the door behind him. I left my mane down as I grew angry at myself as I got up tossing a few pillows. I had tears down my eyes as I was falling into my old self that I did not want to be. I did not want to be that pony that was holding secrets or ignoring my health. my hooves were shaking as I felt rage boiling in me as I felt my magic trying to break free. I placed my hooves on my head as it was pounding causing my anger to disappear. I was lying on the floor in pain as the sound of thunder hit my ears.
I did something stupid again as I grabbed my head. I was wishing I had somepony right now to just hold me right now. I just want to be normal right now, as I had tears again in my eyes. I felt something warm pulling me in tight close against them. looking up I noticed Luna sitting beside me. Celestia was standing in the doorway as I let out a whine.
“My head hurts”
“Your magic was trying to break free. your head will hurt for a while Silver”
“Why can’t I be normal?”
“Silver not every pony is normal. What do you consider normal?”
“A pony who isn’t made from a stolen star. Who doesn’t have to fight their grandfather? A pony who can change habits and not piss off their mare friend” I felt her kissing my cheek.
“Silver some ponies fight with their grandparents. they may not use swords but they do use words as weapons. And many ponies can’t change their habits but they can work on changing them as you can. Now you and I will just be here planning out spells and just enjoying the rain okay? We are also close to the throne room so if anything happens we can act” I rolled over and buried my head into her fur. I gathered myself and sat up looking over at her. I could see the door was closed as Luna was staring up at me.
“You left your mane down”
“Yeah just trying a new look for once” I slowly moved about picking the pillows up and placing them back in front of the window. I turned and slowly made my way over trying to stay steady on my hooves.
“How’s your head”
“Still hurts but I just need to keep myself calm”
“Sweet Night got ahold of me. Celestia felt your magic acting up while I was talking to him.” I nodded softly as I could still feel the pounding in my head.
“They are all very worried for me”
“So are we.” I glanced over at her and leaned in kissing her softly. I felt her kiss me back before I broke it.
“Can we just stay here for the week? I don’t want to do anything but spend time with you and you alone” I could see her grin sitting on her face before she stood up kicking her regalia off.
“We can do that. But you will be eating and working on your hooves while we do that. I want you to form better habits” I chuckled as I walked over to the pile again laying on my back. The pain wasn’t as bad as before but her hooves were on my legs. I still had some knots that needed working on. I could feel them pop with each pressure she placed on them. I winced a bit as I felt her grin turn into a toothy grin. Oh, this week will be an interesting one.
I was laying on the pillow panting heavily as I was covered in sweat, and bite marks while wearing a collar. This week was an interesting one as I was spending some time with Luna. I had finally given her that dinner I had promised while she would help me with my hooves. However, every now and then she would take the opening to tease me every now and then. Tonight she was using one of the spells Cadence had given her. Luna had made herself shorter to make the evening more special.
I was gripping the pillow as I felt the stallion spell work its magic. my voice was gone as I felt her tug on the collar by the leash. I could feel her tongue running along my back as her hooves pressed down on some knots I had causing me to moan. I tapped the floor those suckers hurt. I lost count of how many times she came as I was numb and sore. Once she had pulled out I rolled onto my back panting heavily as I had a hoof over my eyes. I was pulled up as her hoof lifted my chin causing me to look up at her. I noticed the spell she was using had finally ran out as her hoof rubbed my cheek.
“My mare has been a good one lately” she gave a toothy grin.
“Never thought you knew how to be the goddess of romance and passion still” I was panting as she chuckled.
“There are a few ponies in my life that I have ever shown this side to. Celestia by accident, you and Necro. I don’t want my sister but you, I told you I am the only thing you need as well” I gulped as I felt her lean in kissing my neck. This night was not over.
The morning came and I felt myself in a large tub full of hot water. My muzzle was sore as I indulge Luna in her fantasy. I felt her hooves on my fur and mane scrubbing them while popping the joints in my back. I let out a moan as she did so causing the door to open. Celestia had walked in with Twilight at her side. I let out another moan as she hit another sore spot.
“SISTER!”
“It's not that princess. She popped one of the knots in my back. Damn, I did not think I was that stiff in the back” I rolled my shoulders as she used her hoof to pop another knot in front of them. I let out a muffled moan as I was melting into the water. I could hear Twilight chuckling as Luna cleaned my mane and fur off with water.
“Sister I will say you never been this protective of your knight commander or a pony before”
“I do not want to lose something that has meant a lot to me. She made my nights so happy with her husband. Back then she was my rock when you were busy. I want to return the favor and I want to make up for the lost time. I feel guilty for leaving her” I looked up at her.
“Luna, how many times do I have to tell you? You do not have to keep apologizing to me. I should have told you all those years ago but I had important things to think about.” I felt her pull me into her hooves. I blushed a bit as I let out a soft sigh.
“Okay Luna this is not getting any work done”
“You're not working yet my dear. I do have some rules for you. You may not leave this castle till Red clears you. I will have you work as my aid while helping Twilight” I nodded as I looked over at Twilight.
“I can work with you on strengthening your barrier along with how to break the most powerful barriers you can think of. Even your brothers” I could see her smiling. a chuckle escaped my lips as I felt my fur being rinsed off along with my mane. I climbed out of the tub dripping wet. I gulped as a towel dropped on top of me.
“You got bit by a bug again” she was chuckling as I turned red.
“My dearest granddaughter. Stay out of my love life or should I critique yours” I smiled causing her to blush. I wrapped the towel around me before drying herself off. Once I was done I slowly walked out of the room, as my hooves were still getting used to holding me up. I walked into the room as it was cleaned up and turned into a study. The walls were turned into shelves holding scrolls from the court meetings. One wall had the meetings from the day court and the other had ones from the night court.
During the time Luna had me under her Red had cleared my horn as it was fully healed. With the help of the Princesses I got my magic flowing again I just needed to take it slow. I have been spending most days transcribing Luna’s meetings or working on my armor with Rarity. She would come up every now and then to fix the holes. I left my mane down but tied the sides back into a braid allowing me to work on the scrolls. I sighed knowing that my peaceful days were coming to an end.
