A Good Night

Dear Princess Celestia

        My name is Dusk Night; my mom told me I should write you a letter about myself since we live in the capitol now, so here goes nothing. I’m an eight year old sarsosian umbra, but my mom says I should just say I'm a night unicorn. My parents are both sarsosians as well their just ebonies, or night earth ponies. I’m a unicorn because my dad’s mom or my grandma was an umbra like me; she says it just skipped my dad but both my parents are cool even without magic. My mom can grow any plant or fungi no matter how rare or difficult, and my dad can examine and experiment with that same plant and come up with tons of medicine that can cure anything.

Today my family is moving to Canterlot so my dad can open his own apothecary in the capital. I came from a very far away place called Semper Nox a place that has rarely ever seen the light of day; because of the trees in the forest. Whenever the sun rises the trees bloat it out absorbing every single ray of light, but at night they part, letting us see the night sky. My grandma said that the forest used to be the capital for Noxregnum; they were all night ponies like me and were responsible for the moon and stars at night before you. They lived in the forest long before the day ponies migrated from the north, she said the last queen of the Noxregnum Queen Selena along with the king of the day King Solaris are your parents which is cool.

I lived deep in the forest right by the shadow mines in a town named ‘non dormis’ where we slept during the day.  My mom says it will take two whole nights to get to Canterlot by train.  Today I saw your sun for the first time in my life, it was so bright and harsh to look at compared to the moon but it lit up the whole world for me to see. I asked my mom “why is it so bright?” she told me unlike night ponies; day ponies can’t see in the dark, so it has to be bright when they are awake so that they don’t stumble around, which seems silly because the suns so bright I nearly went blind looking at it. What surprised me the most though was that my parent’s colors changed; it was scary because at first I didn’t recognize them. My parents used to have dark coats with dark bluish manes but now my dad’s coat turned yellow with a white mane and my mom’s coat turned green and her mane changed to red, it was like they were completely different ponies my parents saw how confused I was, they told me that our night coats are like camouflage to hide us from the old dangers during the night our ancestors fought, and when a night pony is exposed to the sun their color changes to that of a day pony. Our day coats are for mixing in with day ponies – then I noticed my coat changed too instead of night blue I was tan with a red mane like my mom’s.

I thought about what my parents said but I found it kind of odd. Why would we need to mix in with the day ponies in the first place? it’s annoying and weird but my mom said that as long as I don’t look at the sun I’ll get used to the day but I don’t want to, this is stupid I want to go back home, I can’t even use my magic to levitate a quill while its bright out. My parents said my unicorn magic only works in the dark so right now I’m using my mouth to write this letter on the train, it’s stupid.

Dear Princess Celestia

It took me a little time but now I’ve gotten used to the light, and now I can stay up to three pm, long enough for me to stay up for school which I can start in a week, even though I want to go back home I can’t wait to meet more ponies, Non Dormis was a really small place compared to Canterlot. At the station here in Canterlot I saw more ponies at the station than I ever saw back home. Our new house which is just on the outskirts of the city was really cool, it is twice as big as my old one and is far enough away from all the tall Canterlot towers that I'm able to see the night sky from out my window without anything in my way I can even see the mare in the moon so I guess I can live here.

The next night we went to see where the apothecary was, it was in a place called dusk plaza, it actually reminds me of Non Dormis. A lot of other sarsosians were there, I even saw a filly but she ignored me when I waved that was fine though she must have been busy. They called it the dusk plaza because the plaza never gets brighter than a setting sun since all the tall buildings block the sunlight. The apothecary was cool it was called the Moons Bloom, named after my grandma and it has a green house on the roof where sun shone for the plants that need it and there is also a cellar for the fungi that love the darkness and the main floor for all the medicine. She would have loved it; I miss her so much now. Toughen up Dusk colts don’t cry.

School sucks! I just came back from school it was the worst thing ever. At first everything was great, I woke up on time I even got to eat something called pancakes, they were sweet. My parents walked me to school and dropped me off but that was where it all went south. I got lost in the pointlessly huge building; then I'm late for class by twenty minutes and the teacher chews me out saying: “an upstanding Canterlot citizen shouldn’t be late,” then she just throws me to the Timberwolves like I was an afterthought. At first I thought okay I'm late and the teacher’s already bugging me, but it’s going to be smooth sailing from here on out, right? Wrong, I introduce myself and everypony is all smiles but it’s all lies, the colts and fillies are really Timberwolves in pony form.

They asked me from where I'm from and I say I'm from a town called Non Dormis a place really far away and different. I told them that last week was the first time I saw the sun because Non Dormis is a place that lives in an eternal night, which I thought would make them think ‘cool’ but all I got was a lot of skepticism, some of them even called me a liar, they said you can’t live in a place without the sun. I tried to calmly reason with them but that didn’t work, eventually the teacher corrected them when I started to yell a bit shutting them up, but she should have interrupted sooner, than one filly asked how can you grow food without the sun, I happily told them there are a few things that can only grow without the sun like mushrooms and other fungi, the class just made a simultaneous gaging sounds, so I said out of desperation we also eat bugs like beetles and moths, that was met by green faces and actual gaging, and some unfortunately did throw up when I described the taste and texture of a grub.

I felt stupid and alone but then I saw the sarsosian filly, she was a different color then when she was in the dusk plaza, but I recognized her from her cutie mark which was a winged helmet so I thought she understands, maybe we could even hangout. I tried to say hi again but she ignored me, worst yet when I trotted past her she tripped me! She. Tripped. Me! I face plant into the ground causing the whole classroom to roar in laughter, it’s not like I wasn’t used to being the center of unwanted attention but still I was embarrassed, it only made it worse that there was only one available seat that wasn’t occupied by a bag or saved for an absent pony. The seat was in the back by the window away and out of sight of all those terrible kids but it was fine since I just wanted to disappear. The only one who let me sit near them a Pegasus colt named Hotshot. He was like an oasis in a desert; he thought what I talked about was cool even the bug eating. I thought he was just joking or trying to find a way to make fun of me but he actually wanted to be my friend. He looked a bit dorky with his braces and his way too thick glasses and his lisp made it hard for me to take him seriously, but he was cool and hanging out with him made school barely tolerable.

Recess was like jumping from the frying pan into the fire, out there it was a free for all, thankfully me and Hotshot managed to avoid it until we ran into her, the filly with the winged helmet cutie mark. Hotshot told me her name is Lucky star but there was no luck for us when we met her and her gang, the three of them cornered me and Hotshot like mice and started calling us names, some really uninventive ones like bug boy or brace face but it was like listening to a broken record, they just went on and on to the point to where things might have gotten physical. My mom always told me never to hit a filly, but they didn’t act like the fillies my mom was talking about. I would have started something but the school bell rang and like trained dogs they stopped and went to class, it didn’t help we were headed in the same direction though but what bothered me the most wasn’t Lucky it was her partners they seemed to enjoy it more than Lucky did, it was like she was a tagalong not a friend of theirs she was mean but she didn’t seem like she was enjoying it like her friends were, not that I'm defending her. Name calling and bullying is bad, but I don’t know. school sucks…

Dear Princess Celestia        

        It’s been two weeks now since I started school and it’s been the same thing every day every recess hour me and Hotshot try our best to dodge the ‘trimares’- Hotshot thought it up, but they always find us and berate us like they have nothing better to do. its frustrating but recently they’ve stopped I wonder why. Not that I'm not glad it stopped I'm just curious why they just up and stopped. Did they get sick of it, or did they move on to a new target, Lucky also looks a little more down now in class but whatever.

Something weird happened today, I think I befriended the most unlikely of mares today. While I and Hotshot were talking like we always do whether it was about the wonderbolts or that new cartoon about humans, I don’t remember. We ran into the trimares but instead of them berating us on sight they ignored us and continued to bully somepony else, one of their own. Lucky star was crying while the two evil fillies just laid it on, saying how they couldn’t believe how they were friends with a freaky night pony, Hotshot said to not do anything but I couldn’t, that filly needed our help and reluctantly he agreed. We did what I think any sensible pony would have done, we scared them off by acting like crazy ponies waving our hooves in the air and making stupid noises, I would have felt like an idiot, if it wasn’t for the fact Hotshot was doing it with me. Surprisingly it worked; they ran away screaming something about voodoo and curses.
        
Unfortunately the filly we helped didn’t really appreciate it. She wiped the tears off her face yet her eyes were still red, she said she didn’t need our help, I felt a little annoyed I wanted to shout at her about how she should be thanking us for saving her, but Hotshot interrupted me before I could blow up. He asked why were those fillies bullying her but she denied it, she wasn’t very convincing, she eventually told us that she was invited to a sleep over that was how they discovered she was a night pony. That was when those two started to target Lucky instead of me and Hotshot, even though Lucky was mean to us I think I can forgive her for the grief she gave me and Hotshot for the past week, but that was cut short by a teacher who was accompanied by two fillies.

Me and Hotshot were sent to detention for harassing the fillies, so much trouble to save a some ungrateful filly is what I thought but when we got out Lucky was waiting for us and thanked us for helping her out though I doubt she’d ever admit she did. I was surprised but it was nice to get thanks and she said that she would rather be friends with a bug boy and brace face instead of two stuck up prissy ponies. To say we were shocked was an understatement, us friends but she ran off before she could explain the shock still on our faces. Hotshot just shrugged it off; I guess I’ll see if she’s still our friend tomorrow.

A few days have passed since Lucky has joined our merry little group and as much as I thought she would just start bullying us again she actually played nice, sure she was harsh but she was a lot more fun to hang out with then I thought for a filly and most of the time the attitude was directed at Hotshot in her own words: “you’re too soft for your own good.”, she had a point but she didn’t need to be so blunt about it. she even took it upon herself to toughen up the poor colt but now I'm having more fun than ever before with these two and it’s not just those two I'm hanging out with either everypony else is starting to be more open to me, it’s the first time I think I'm glad my family moved to Canterlot maybe everything will actually work out.

I just read about the coolest mare ever she’s called Golden star “the bright”, I tried to find spells to make my magic stronger so I could use it during the day but I found nothing then I found this small book about her, this really cool unicorn lived around a thousand years ago. She wasn’t the most magical unicorn, in fact the book even questioned if she really was a unicorn because of how weak her magic was. it said golden struggled to even lift a quill let alone basic spells but I like her because she didn’t let it bring her down she only got better, she said something really cool: “magic is for all the pony tribes, magic is thought turned action and with it you can make the weather bend or plants grow you could also command the day and night. If you believe it impossible it is, but if you believe that you can raise the sun then you’ll find a way, sure some might call you crazy but I’ll believe you.” It made me feel better about the fact I can’t use magic while it’s bright. Even though I can’t levitate something with magic I’ll find a way to.

After that I decided to scour the school’s library after finding out about her which beside the book I read there is absolutely next to nothing about her, a few pieces here minor comment there but no other books about this really cool mare, she understood and taught magic like no pony before her and much of the principles she developed a thousand years ago are still in use today yet nothing substantial was written about her, I was kind of sad that when I did find a book with a sizable amount of information on her, it wasn’t even about her it was about you princess and an expedition you led to explore the unknown south. Today we know so much about it but back then the southern continent was mysterious and dangerous but you and Golden star went and had adventures down there. I read how you met dragons griffons zebra and all kinds of other races and made friends with them and how you explored ruins of forgotten cities and crypts of long dead rulers, how you helped everyone and fought great evils, it was so cool and the fact that Golden star kept up with you every step of the way was the coolest, the book even said that, that expedition is what inspired the daring doo series which Lucky won’t shut up about, maybe tomorrow I’ll get the gang to help me look a little more for more info.

Dear Princess Celestia

I just got my cutie mark today! It looks so cool it’s a shield with the night sky on it with a full moon at the top, it is so cool and looks kind of like grandma’s cutie mark too I got it I think by standing up for Lucky when we were being picked on in the principal’s office this morning at school. I should start at the beginning first to explain why we were in the office in the first place, me Lucky and Hotshot were at the library because I asked for their help to look through the library to find out more about Golden star but that ‘help’ didn’t last long, Lucky’s not much for books other than daring doo and Hotshot is only interested if it’s about flight, so they just left me to search by my lonesome but after a while I got tired and my attention drifted to something in the magazine that Hotshot was reading.

It had a picture of you and a filly named twilight sparkle in a ceremony where you accepted her as your student, she sported the hugest grin I’ve ever seen a filly have, it was kind of cute… in a dorky way. The magazine was making a big spectacle of it saying this only happens every other generation when Celestia chooses a student not since amber glow “the seer” has anypony been your apprentice, it talked about what happened during her examination how she hatched a dragon and the magical power she exuded caught your eye, she must be super powerful if she’s your student but all Hotshot said was that she was cute, now I'm not interested in fillies or anything they’re gross aside from Lucky, but I kind of agreed with Hotshot and said that she was cute that’s when everything went weird.

Lucky I think overheard us and grabbed the magazine and glared at it for a long time neither me or nor Hotshot wanted to disturb her or complain about her grabbing the magazine we were reading, after a month we learned not to disturb her when she was aggravated, it usually ended with one of us getting a verbal lashing. She broke the silence when she asked if we thought twilight was cute in a rather demanding voice so we quickly answered yes, she than asked if we thought she was cute, which we both thought was weird this was Lucky we were talking about, a filly who didn’t care how she looked or acted like a filly who wanted to be cute so me and Hotshot slowly said no, she gave us the meanest stare I have ever seen it scared me stiff while Hotshot crumbled like a house of cards mumbling how that it was a good thing or something along those lines, it had no affect her voice took on the effect of a monster from tartarus as she Growled at us: “what do you mean I'm not cute.” in a rage she ripped the magazine in half. She literally looked like she was going to bite our heads off, thankfully we were saved by the librarian who was attracted by the voice a filly should not have. She didn’t miss Lucky destroying public property, she promptly her sent to the principal’s office to face punishment.

I don’t know why but I and Hotshot decided to accompany her to the office, I guess we felt a little guilty for what happened even though it wasn’t our fault. There we plopped our plots on the bench to wait to be called in. While waiting we met a pair of idiot pegasi 6th graders, they were just jerks and all they did was provoke us but we just ignored them but the last straw was when they were about to hit Lucky, I immediately intercepted him by tackling him to the floor this was stupid he was nearly twice my size and could fly while I was just a unicorn foal with no magic and just had my small hooves, I knew what I did was right but still I also knew I was in for the beating of my life. At least I wasn’t alone cause Hotshot decided that it would be smart to buck the jerks friend in the face for trying to grab me, after that it was a blur I got a few shots in but he got in a lot more, even Lucky decided to jump into the fray, so much for saving the damsel in distress by the time the principle and a few other staff members got us to stop the brawl we were bloodied bruised and missing a few teeth, despite this the three of us we just cheery, sure we got a month of detention but it was worth it since me and Hotshot got our cutie marks, mine like I said was a shield I think to protect, yet Hotshot was I think it’s called a cannon ball breaking through a wall, he said it meant he can blast through what he thought was an impossible wall which makes sense he did something he’s never done before and that was to stand up for himself and his friends against really bad odds. The three of us are going to be best friends to the day we die!

My grandmother taught me all the magic I know: how to put someone to sleep how to make copies of myself how to disappear into the night even how to teleport, she also taught me legends, passed down from pony to pony, ones about the banished Princess Woona how she turned into nightmare moon and tried to expand the realm of Noxregnum beyond its borders into all of Equestria. Being banished to the moon by you her sister becoming the mare in the moon and how she’ll return on the longest day on her millennium imprisonment to continue her dream of eternal night. At first I told her that would be cool but she thumped me on the head for that, she explained that even though we already live in eternal night spreading it all over the world would send it into chaos. As a member of the night family we are meant to maintain the harmony of the night. What nightmare moon tried to do was wrong she said, back then I didn’t understand it much but now that I’ve hung out in the sun with my friends I think I do.

She said: “if and when nightmare moon does come back we need to stop her even if she is our princess, we of the night family are the guardians of the night not the tyrants of eternal night.” As much as I want to believe her I don’t really think that fairytale will come true, at least I think. but why am I writing this, well because I'm about to learn some new magic, she never taught me anything she thought was dangerous she showed me some though, something she called an aether shard it looked like her cutie mark, a cape with small bright pinpricks that looked like twinkling stars, she described the spell like asking the night sky to lend her a part of it to do as she saw fit. she also showed me something called the nightmare I didn’t like it at all I had the worst nightmare I’ve ever had except it felt real even though she told me it wasn’t, she didn’t want to show it to me but she said I have to know about the nightmare soon because she said that nightmare magic is in our blood and her showing it to me now was better than me finding it out on my own she told me that nightmare is what caused our Princess Woona to become jealous and go power-hungry and that if I use it recklessly I will lose my mind so she said only after discovering my cutie mark was she going to teach me anything about nightmare but now that I have my cutie mark I don’t have her anymore.

She would have been so happy I loved her magic lessons despite the way she always played tricks on me, even though I knew what she had planned she always managed to prank me but I always learned something new despite how she tricked and fooled me. Even though she’s gone she still had a lesson in magic to teach me. my dad gave me this book that she left with him to give me when I get my cutie mark he said the book has been passed down the night family and had secret magic only grandma and her forefathers knew and I would know it to as soon as I unlock it that is, the only hint I have is a slip of paper that says ‘ask the night’. I wonder what it means.

Your faithful subject Dusk Night


Dear Princess Celestia

        I unlocked it! All I had to do was summon some aether at night, sure I’ve never done it before and it felt like I ran twenty miles after I was done, but I just had to think back about what my grandma said about asking the night sky for a part of it and it gave me a part. When it came down it wasn’t in any solid shape it was like water whenever I touch it would cause ripples, I managed to mold it into a key with my magic I just had to follow golden stars advice and turn my thoughts into action and the aether was shaped by my will. When I unlocked it I was greeted by another message from grandma, she knew she wouldn’t make it long enough to see me get my cutie mark, only if she had lasted another year maybe she would have. After reading it I cried, not a lot just a little, she told me how proud she was of me for getting my cutie mark and hopes it looks half as decent as hers I cracked up at that, she was even more proud that I managed to unlock this book with all the hints she gave me she half expected me to give up but I didn’t. She explained that since she isn’t going to be able to teach me I'm going to need to learn and master all these spells on my own, before nightmare moons return which is silly even if the legend is true how could I a single pony stop the princess of the night but I’m still going to learn these spells though.

She explained that the book is divided in to three sections moon, night, and dream/nightmare. She wrote I already learned or at least seen spells from all three schools of magic, the one I liked the most among them was night magic this was all about illusions and tricks and I am really good at that, I’ve already pranked Hotshot and Lucky more times than I can count. Aether shards fall under moon magic, and I only looked at the dream/nightmare section only for a moment, I was a little scared I would lose my mind if I read the wrong spell, She also gave me a few rules about the spells like never use it for your entertainment but she did that with me every time she taught me so I don’t know how true that is and to never to use the spells to harm a pony no matter what I can easily keep that promise.

It’s going to be very difficult trying learning these spells since I can’t even understand most of what’s written in the book, my grandma wrote that would be the case since this book was written by many different ponies, some of them used languages long dead and others terms way beyond my understanding, so what she suggests I do is read a book, a lot of books only after looking stuff up and cross referencing them, whatever that means will I be able to even learn half the stuff in the book so library hoo!        

Your faithful subject Dusk Night


Dear Princess Celestia

I just did something unforgivable I broke a promise with my grandma to not use nightmare magic on anypony, I didn’t hurt him physically but he is utterly terrified of me now, all the other students won’t even talk to me. I didn’t mean to hurt him but he threatened to hurt my friends he pushed me and a part of me just screamed for me to hurt him and I did when I used nightmare magic, real nightmare magic I could feel his fear anger hatred paranoia and it made me sick to my stomach after I broke my link all that was left was a broken pony on the ground whimpering fearful of the pain I inflicted on him, I felt guilt for what I did but that same part of me that screamed for it felt satisfied. I tried to help him up but he just simply wailed, he was scared of me of the monster that hurt him, so I left him there and the next day I could feel it, the fear in everypony they knew I had done something wrong they knew I had something to do with it though he would never admit it lest he incur the threat of another nightmare.

Your despondent subject Dusk Night


Dear Princess Celestia

        Why are ponies so mean all the friends I made over the year now are just scared of me even Lucky and Hotshot are drifting away I didn’t mean to do this is, I did it to protect them yet they are so scared of me of what I can do, of the nightmare, is this why I need to hide? It’s not fair I wish they would all just disappear.

I haven’t done one of these in a while so I guess I should catch you up on my life I just read a bunch of the ‘letters’ it’s funny how I just kept writing them but never sent them I kept calling them letters rather than a diary. Right now I'm about to graduate high school while reading them I can remember the past so well it just felt like I lived it again some I remember happily others I would rather forget. I'm still good friends with Hotshot and Lucky at least I kept that promise those two are so different now, Hotshot isn’t the brace face he used to be, he has gotten rid of the braces and now has contacts and is the captain of the flight team, and as for Lucky star she is a natural born leader, student body president four years in a row it’s amazing.

Now that I'm nearly out of school I don’t know what I'm going to do my parents want me to get a doctorate and take over the apothecary and turn it into a real clinic but I don’t want to, they know that I don’t and it’s breaking their hearts that I won’t take over. Hotshot and Lucky are going to join the guard as soon as they graduate I kind of want to join as well but I feel that’s too shallow like I'm piggybacking onto their dream and just going along for the ride, I want to do something I can look back on and say yeah I did that and proud of it, something amazing like raising the moon but that’s impossible. ‘Impossible’ golden star herself would probably slap me for saying that she’d believe me if I really believed it myself but that’s probably why she died in an asylum, despite all the amazing things she did.

She wrote just two books and from them started a revolution in magic education she documented many of the flora and fauna of the southern continent and even drew up a crude map outlining your expeditions journey and paved the way for other pioneers to follow your tracks to the point where the wild south isn’t so wild and is more of an everyday occurrence to a well-traveled pony. Actually that doesn’t sound half bad a journey to the southern continent to follow in you and Golden stars, tracks sure it’s not raising the moon but it’s something I can be proud, it took you four years to complete the circle and is well documented that I could follow each step you took with Golden star. yeah that’s what I'm going to do when I graduate I’ll go on my own expedition to the south, learn as much as I can and then come back I’ll figure out my life from there. I'm surprised I didn’t think of this before, I got about three months to plan.

Todays the day, my friends noticed my lightened mood throughout the whole time I was getting ready, I’ve got plenty of bits and if that’s not enough I could always work for them. I plan to hoof it the whole way, no trains or things of that nature, I'm going to do it like golden star so that means I'm also going to need camping gear, I know how to set up camp from my family camping trip so that’s good. I have a bunch of supplies like water and preserved hay to last me a month and a cart for all that stuff this is going to be great, unfortunately my parents are against me I told them about a month ago and they have tried to stop me every step of the way saying that I'm just a well-read pony that should get a safe job, and that it’s impossible for me to even try this.

I love my parents and a part of me is sad that they are so opposed to this but there’s another part of me that feels smug and wants to prove them wrong, my friends have been a little bit more supportive if also anxious for me, sure unlike them I'm no captain of the flight team and more willing to spend all day and night in a book then hang around other ponies but I can handle myself out there.

The weirdest thing happened on my way home today, a pony who I’ve never seen just gave me this odd saddle bag, he said that it can never get full and that so long as I'm thinking of the item it will always be within my grasp I saw him demonstrate it, it was really cool. I put in a bunch of apples and it never bulged then I tossed in a water skin and shook it like a mad pony, I reached in and found it immediately I repeated this a couple times with the same result as the last. I thought about the apple and I pulled out an apple I was just blown away, the magic that was in this small bag would have to be immense, all the while the stallion who hoofed me the bag just grinned at me I must have looked like a wide eyed colt given a brand new toy.

After the surge of excitement died down I asked him ‘how much?’ he said it was for ‘free’ so I asked him why, he said he was paying back a debt but that just left me confused I’ve never seen this pony before and had no idea what I did to deserve such a cool gift then I asked for his name he replied oh just call him the doctor, I laughed in his face after he had said that and I immediately regretted it, I explained how my parents wanted me to be a doctor but this journey I was taking was bringing me down another path in the opposite direction, I just saw some irony in it and laughed fortunately he didn’t mind in fact his shared in on a small laugh too he said farewell I said thanks and maybe see him around he replied that was a certainty.

I went home and now I’m about to say my good byes to my parents, they have stopped trying to convince me otherwise but my dad is still angry can’t blame him I guess, I wonder if I can make it up to him by sending back plants and other medicine I find and then we can have a proper conversation when I come back. I guess I have to go first to find out.
