I watched the moon rising with delight, I was amazed by the fact that it was all done by the mare I’d just met, after the ``show´´ was over I waited for a while in the room, I had to make sure to go out at a time when no pony was awake so I would go unnoticed, after about three hours it seemed to be a good time to go I put the blanket Luna had gave me on and got out of the room.
I had to crawl in all four so my shape would look pony-like, the castle guards were guarding the main rooms of the castle like the throne room and the princesses´ rooms so it was easy to avoid them, once in the gardens I looked back at the castle and got astonished by its magnificent look, it was unlike anything mankind had ever done.
I walked around the gardens for a while when I got interrupted by somepony.
``halt´´ said the pony.
At I was scared and I thought a guard had seen me but I stayed still, I though that if I ran I would be chased and then attacked.
``who is in castle grounds without permission´´ asked the pony.
I slightly tuned my head so I could recognize my founder, once I turned I saw princess Luna and felt relieved and showed my face, she calmed down once she recognized me.
``it is thou´´ she said ``I see thy has decided to go out and followed my advice of covering thyself´´
``good night princess´´ i replied.
``has thou enjoyed the castle grounds?´´ she asked
``actually´´ I answered ``I just got out of the room and I haven’t really seen anything yet´´
``I see´´ she said ``would thou like me to show you around?´´
``I wouldn’t like to bother you princess´´ I replied
``nonsense it would be a pleasure to show my domains´´ she insisted.
``the pleasure is mine then´´ I said``...after you´´
she told me there wouldn’t be anypony around so I cloud walk in my two feet instead of crawling in such an uncomfortable way, I stood back up and we begun to walk.
we didn’t really talk while she was showing me around I was amazed at everything she showed me and she seemed to enjoy my emotion over even the most simple things.
after a while walking she broke the ice and asked me about the human world, at first the question surprised me but I had no problem answering, after all she had told me about her world before and I thought I could do the same for her.
at first I tried to avoid talking about the damage we were causing to our world but her upcoming questions made it impossible and I ended up telling her how we were killing our selves at will, she seemed shocked by my tales and wondered how could I be able to live in such place for which my answer was:
``hardly´´
she seemed worried about my answer and asked me why did I stay there if I wasn’t happy, I answered saying I couldn’t go anywhere better since that was my world.
she noticed the sadness and the void in my eyes as I told her that, for which she stopped talking about it.
there was a cold silence in the air for a while but she interrupted it again with the next question:
``earlier today I mentioned a legend about thou kind, are thou not curious about such legend?´´
``now that you mention it´´ I said ``I do feel curiosity about it´´
``would thou like me to relate such legend?´´ she asked.
``it would be a pleasure to hear it princess´´ I answered.
