She didn't know how it happened or why but she now had a new coltfriend, though she was making sure everything went slow for her hart still belong to Song. For the reason why she wouldn't let her heart let him go was because she was hoping that he would remember his them, and run to her. Though she knew that it might not ever happen since it has been about two months since he returned and had not gained any more memory, but the entire kingdom rejoiced when they had heard that somehow he was alive.
As for the new stallion in her life his name was Onyx Illusion, he was of average build for a unicorn. He was certainty unique as he had a grey coat and his mane and tail were as black as night. But his mane style was pretty slick, though what caught her attention was his cutie mark, it resembled that of Twilight's cutie mark but with significant differences. Like for example his star had ten arms and was pitch black, and the star that lay below that also had ten arms but was the same color as her coat, and right in the middle was a full moon with an orange comet passing through.
The comet starting from the top right right between two of the stars arms and ended with the head of the comet on the bottom left right in between two more of the stars arms. Directly opposite of the comet sitting in the bottom right of the two bigger stars arms was a small normal star that had only five arms. He had told her that just as Twilight's cutie mark the two big stars represented his love of magic, the moon and little star meant his love of astronomy, and the comet represented how he got his cutie mark. Which was very strange to her.
He told her the story of when he got it though and it made a little bit of sense. One night he was told by his parents to go to bed to get ready for school, but he couldn't sleep. So he looked at the stars remembering that he had learnt some of the constellations from his teacher, and he felt his passion even back then but did not realize it was his special talent. But as he looked up at the night sky the first thing he saw was an orange streak of light cutting across the sky.
As soon as he realize what it was his cutie mark appeared as he got so excited that he accidentally cast a spell around himself that made him invisible. He didn't realize until his parents came up to see if he was alright only to find he was gone, then after managing to turn visible again his dad pointed out his cutie mark. Soon after his parents enrolled him into an astronomy school and hired a tutor that they though had the same kind of magic, which they thought was illusion magic which they were right.
They had met while Luna was trying to keep up on her royal duty's as she flew around the city watching for any danger. Though she still found hard when all she could do was think about whether or not to tell Song the truth of their relationship, and his life. But she was dragged out of her train of thought when she saw somepony coming out of the observatory.
After him explaining that he was the head of it and he was staying late because of some paper work she quickly apologize. But shortly after they ran into each other again as he came to talk with her sister, and a little after she met him in the hall and she apologized again for what happened. Though he did not seem like the most happy of ponies he did seem happy to see her.
He quickly asked her out that day and she said no, but he said that he understood as he heard about what happened. Though was confused as to why they weren't together, no pony else knew that he had lost his memory. But she quickly explained in a lie of how he had lost it, she told him that he had been trapped in the cave's and had sever head trauma. The stallion understood but still didn't understand why they weren't together, and if they weren't why she didn't want to go out with him.
Instead of trying to explain she had thought it would help her move on with her feelings over Song, but to no avail. Though they enjoyed going out it did not bring her comfort or filled her heart with any kind of joy, and she felt bad for leading him on. But she was still going to do her best and try to make the relationship work, but her heart wasn't in it so she told him that she wanted to take things slow, and he agreed.
"So you got a new coltfriend huh? That's sounds great! It's good to see you smile like that." Song said with a smile.
"Yes, though part of the reason why i'm smiling is because i see that you're happy. Do you have any marefriend yet?" She asked teasingly that made her pull back, as she realized she had felt a little bit of an emoting that she never wanted to feel again since her days as Nightmare Moon.
"No, afraid not. It's kinda hard to adjust without a majority of my memory, as it though i once found my place but now it's gone. That and i feel like i'm not a part of this time, i feel like i'm apart of an older generation, but that would be impossible because i'm not immortal." He said with a sight sad laugh. "But please tell me more about him, if he makes you happy then i wold like to know more. Maybe one day we could meet and talk for a little."
"I think that would be good, but it might be awkward though." She said.
"Why would it be awkward?" He asked.
"Oh did i say awkward, sorry i didn't mean to say it. That was apart of a different thought, but yeah i think you two would become good friends. I'll talk to him and see if he wants to drop by your house." She said.
"That sounds good, you know i enjoy this view. For some reason it feels so familiar and makes me feel so safe even if i can't fly. This cliff we're on just clears my head, and as i look at the stars and moon i feel like somepony who was very near and dear to me is watching me from the after life." He said.
Shortly after he had got comfortable in his house he had started to explore the cave's and for some reason he was drawn a certain way. He found himself on a cliff with a breath taking view, he had decided to explore it during the night. Though he had no idea why but he was always wide awake during the night and finding himself staring at the moon and stars.
During one of his night strolls he turned and saw a cave opening next to his house, though he didn't know how he could have missed it. For when he had discovered it he had been back for two weeks, and the cave sat right in front of the kitchen window. He felt drawn to it and like he had thought before felt compelled to go a certain way, and coming upon this cliff with the magnificent view.
Soon after he kept coming back and he could feel his head clear up as he looked out at the stars and moon. He felt like he was on the verge of remembering his life but couldn't. After about four straight nights of going up to the cliff, on the fifth night when he went he found Luna laying there looking sad. He had cleared his throat in order to get her attention, and she jumped a little.
After she asked him how he came upon this cliff he explained that he just felt drawn to it. Like it was a part of his life before he lost his memory, he told her that he studied up on memory loss and told her that it sometimes is natural for amnesia patients to sometimes feel drawn to a place that held so much meaning in their life. Even if they did not remember it, and she had told him that he had been up here before and that is how they met.
When he asked why she was up here she quickly answered that it was a spot for her to clear her head. That's when she told him about what happened with her and the stallion. He had told her to go for it if she wanted to, for he couldn't stand to see her in such heart ache over an unknown matter. Though he felt even awful after because that's when she started to cry, and he wrapped her in a warm gentle hug until she stopped.
After that they had been meeting in the spot almost every night and she started to tell him that she decided to give that relationship a chance. Very slowly she seemed to be getting more and more happy, while he was getting more and more sad. Though he did not know why, but it was good to see her smile and he was happy for her but that did not stop him from feeling the way he did.
"Alright i guess i'll see you tomorrow then?" She asked breaking him from his thoughts.
"Of course, see you tomorrow." He said and watched her take off. "Why am i feeling so sad? I should be happy." Saying to himself.
"I believe i can answer that if you like?" He jumped and turned to see Princess Celestia standing behind him.
"Oh Princes, forgive me but you startled me." He said bowing.
"No need for the formalities for very old friends." She said in a kind and gentle voice that had a hint of sadness.
"What do you mean by an old friend?" He asked raising up.
"Me and you go a long way back, and i cannot allow you to not know of your past anymore despite my sisters plead against telling you." She said.
"So you're here to tell me about my past then?" He asked his mouth hung open a little.
"Yes but only if you want to hear it. For your life is a tragic one, i would say more than my sister being possessed by jealousy and i had to banish her to the moon for a thousand years." She replied.
"I don't care about if my life is tragic or not, if i know what me and Luna had then maybe i can understand why she hasn't told me anything. So please i beg you to tell me." He pleaded bowing his head and his voice telling her how much he needed to know.
"Alright but you have to promise me this." He looked up.
"I will promise anything if i only know." He answered with a serious look and fire in his eyes that told her that he will keep it.
"The promise is once i get to telling you about you and my sister you mustn't ruin her new relationship. For she is trying to fill a void in her that once held you, and if you break apart her new relationship i'm afraid she will be completely torn." She said giving her own serious look.
"I promise and i do understand a little, but please tell me so i can understand more." He said.
She started at the very beginning of when his true life began, and he sat there listening intently. A few times as she started to get around to telling him more about the creature and what it had done to him a fire of anger shot through his eyes, but he let them die out as he listened to more. Finally coming up to when her sister and him met for the first time, and told him about how they became as close of a couple that could not be matched or separated for long.
That was until she got to the part where her sister started to get really involved and set out to the cave's after the day at the spa. After that they seemed even more closer and he even proposed to her, but she didn't give him an answer. She quickly told him that her sisters train of thought was if she could get the burden of the creature off of him then they could live without much worry anymore. But she told him about the battle as her sister had described it to her, and ended when she saw Luna carrying him broken and lifeless on her back.
"B-but how am i alive now?" He asked in complete shock.
"I have no idea, but on the day of your memorial service you had just sprung up well and alive, but without your memory." She answered.
"So the ring that she gave me back." He stopped. "She gave me it back to try to get closure."
"Yes, she did everything but tell you about your past. She even tried a memory spell on you while you slept but to no avail. So now that you know the truth about yourself and your relationship with my sister what are you gonna do?" She asked.
"I'm going to try to stick to my promise, and try to get some closure myself if i can. But i don't think i can, because i can still feel the love for her even if it was in my old life. At least i now know why I've been feeling so sad lately while she seems so happy." She looked at him curiously. "It's a spark of jealousy, though i wish i had my memories but right now that story you just told me feels just that, a story. Not my life, so even if i can't get over this and move on i can still pretend not to know anything about my past so she can move on." He said looking away tears going down his cheeks.
"I'm sorry Song." She said with a comforting tone.
"It's alright, you better get back before Luna wonders where you are. Unless you want her to find out that you told me about my past." He said, and she nodded.
"Then goodbye for now." She said.
"I never want to hear a goodbye again, i would rather say see you later." He said not looking at her.
"Then see you later then." She took off and flew towards the palace.
"Goodbye Luna, my love.' He whispered.
