Luna's POV
I left Star standing in the ballroom, feeling worried for him, I too know how it feels to be separated from loved ones, I thought remembering my banishment to the moon.
As I walked down to the entrance hall I saw the captain of the royal guards, Cyclone, rushing in a panic. He stop in front of me, taking in deep breaths, "I'm, gasp, glad, gasp, that, gasp, I, gasp, found you first Princess Luna."
"Why is the captain Cyclone? "I asked puzzled by his behavior. Captain Cyclone is wearing the traditional armor of the royal guards, but his was sliver indicating the rank he holds.
"Milady, I bear disturbing news, there's a intruder seeking you out, "Cyclone said worried about my safely.
"What does this intruder look like? "I asked, taking in a breath for fearing that Nightmare has returned and was seeking revenge.
"Well the guards outside of the castle gates said it was a male pegasus, he has a white coat and sliver mane and tail, and his cutie mark appeared to be what looked like a shooting star, "Cyclone describing the intruder, "and funny thing is, and I don't believe it myself, he teleported in a white flash like a unicorn."
I let out the breath and said to him, "it's alright captain, it's all under control, "sort of.
"But Princess, what if he is dangerous? I need to make sure that you are safe, for it's our job to do so, "Cyclone making his statement and raising his voice.
"CAPTAIN CYCLONE, "I said to him, losing my self-control in not to use the Royal Cantorlot Voice, it blew him back, causing him to land on his back, "sorry about, "I said walking up to him and lifting him up, I then explained the situation to him, "but the pegasus is a friend of mine, but he received news that his closest friend went missing, and we don't know where she went."
After captain Cyclone heard that Star's friend went missing, his mood lightens up and said, "I'm sorry princess, I didn't know about his missing friend."
"It's ok, but I wish for you and your troops to leave him alone for a while, "I said to him.
"As you wish milady, my troops and I will leave him alone, and I shall also call off that search for him, "Cyclone said giving me a bow, and walked away, probable to the barracks. As I saw him leave through the main doors my thoughts returned to Star and Arcana, I hope Arcana is alright.
Arcana's POV
I felt the rising sun warming me in my bed, after a while it started to get unbearable. I groggily got out of bed and left the room, as I entered the main room, I saw that Clover and Starswirl was already awake eating what looked like scones and baked potatoes. I must have made a noise for their attention swerved to me.
"Good morning Arcana, "Starswirl greeting me, "did you sleep well?"
"Yes I did thank you again for your hospitality."
"No problem, now come and eat, "he said mentioning for me to sit.
I sat down at the table and was immediately served some breakfast by Clover, "thanks Clover, "I said thanking her and then I dug into the meal. After we finished with breakfast and put the dishes into a barrel filled with soapy water, I asked to nopony in particular, "So… what are we going to do today?"
I was immediately answered by Clover, "well all the ponies around here are to help around town, because you know, new settlement, rough times ahead, yadda, yadda, yadda, those kind of things, oh then I can greet you to my other friends."
"That will be great, so what do you do around here?"
"Well that all depends, you see the pegasi help with constructing homes and buildings for others when they arrive; the Earth ponies are cultivating the land so we can eat and grow food, "Clover explained, "but for the unicorns, we just help the other groups of ponies our magic."
"Well then what are we waiting for? "I asked feeling antsy, for I want to see what Cantorlot looked like before, "let's go, "and made my way towards the front.
But before I could open it, I heard Starswirl said, "wait a minute there Arcana, "I turned around and saw Starswirl walk towards a chest. He opened it and took out a robe that looked like Clover's in his magic. He walked back to me and gave it to me saying, "you should wear this?"
"Why and what's it for? "I asked confused to why he would give me a cloak.
"Well I'm guessing that it is a lot warmer in your time, "I nodded, he then continues, "well it is still a bit… nippy out there from the three tribe leader's quarrel, and also we want you to blend in and not cause suspicion and also tone down on the future knowledge to yourself, because even though there is peace here in this land at the moment, it is quite fragile."
Now, why does that sounds so familiar? "I get your point, don't want to give myself attention, "I agreed. I put on the cloak (with the help from Clover) and was now ready to go.
Clover opened the door and walked out with me following her, as soon I stepped out of Starswirl's home, I immediately felt a chilling wind sweep around me. Burr, dang he wasn't kidding about it being cold, I thought shivering.
Clover saw me shivering and said, "don't worry, it'll warm up, just wait for a while, " and then we continue walking towards Cantorlot. I saw the settlement growing bigger and bigger as we neared it. We entered the town and I looked around seeing what Cantorlot had looked like before, it resembles a medieval city with stone towers around the town.
As Clover and I walked past a couple of pegasi and earth ponies building what looks like a another tower, Clover called out, "oh look there is one of my friends, let me introduce you to her, "I looked to where she is pointing. At something at the base of it I saw a yellow pegasus with pink mane and tail, wearing black Greek style armor crouching, blocking whatever it was from our sight.
As Clover was about to call out to her friend and introduce me, we both heard cries of panic coming from above us. I looked up and saw that a wooden beam's ropes were starting to fray and then they gave out with a loud snap, I saw that it was going to fall on the pegasus, "look out! "I yelled out.
The pegasus looked up and saw the wooden beam falling towards her and let out a shrill of a scream, but instead of running or flying away, she coward over something with the intention to protect whatever it was.
I quickly willed my magic to protect the pegasus in danger. Time had seemed to come to a standstill as I felt my magic gathered, I then raised my front hooves and slammed them unto the ground. I felt my magic flow through the ground, there was flash of light as a transmutation circle appeared around the pegasus, and then time had once again resumed. As the beam neared the pegasus, it then suddenly hit a barrier, causing it to bounce off and hit the ground, kicking up dirt and dust from the ground.
We rushed to her as the dust and dirt started to settle. As the dust settles we saw that my barrier was still up, protecting the area around her, while the area outside is stirred up with kicked up dirt and shattered wood around.
I released the barrier and Clover immediately rushed to her friend, "Pansy are you ok?"
What a minute, Pansy as in private Pansy, I walked up to them, and saw what was important to Pansy to protect. She was protecting a white bunny; that was giving Pansy a grateful look.
"I'm ok, but what happened? "Pansy asked confused as she glanced around at the damage around her.
"Well my new friend here protected you from harm, "Clover answered her, and then she turned her attention to me, "and that was amazing that you were able to set up that spell and released it quickly."
"I know, I was equally surprised myself."
And then Clover realized something, "oh sorry, I didn't introduce you two to each other yet."
"Hello, I'm Arcana, I just recently…, "I said greeting her and thinking a right word to explain my appearance, "arrived here in Cantorlot and you are? "I asked pretending in not knowing who she is, taking Starswirl's advice.
"I'm Pan-, "Pansy said trailing off nervously.
I did a mental face hoof and thought, great, even in this time, they have a Fluttershy pony, "what was that? "I asked.
"I'm Pans- "once again trailing off mumbling.
"Sorry, didn't quiet catch that?"
"I'm Pansy Shy, "she said finally speaking clearly, but what she said shocked me, wait a minute her name is Pansy Shy, oh boy, I think I just saved an ancestor of Fluttershy's.
"Is something wrong Arcana? "Clover asked me concerned.
"Is it something I said? I'm sorry, "Pansy asking for an unnecessary apology.
This shook me out of my daze, "oh sorry, it must have been that spell's magic usage, "I said making an excuse, I then turned my attention to Pansy, "are you sure that you are ok Pansy?"
"Oh yes I'm fine, but I'm more worried for this bunny here, "she then turned her attention to bunny and asked worried, "are you ok?"
"You can talk with it? "I asked disbelieved at what I saw.
"It's a he and I can talk with all animals."
"Wow I didn't know that you can do that Pansy, "Clover said amazed, "when did that happened?"
"I found out when we moved here and when this place was filled with amazing critters, "Pansy explained, and then the bunny pulled her tail gaining her attention.
The bunny said something to Pansy, but I couldn't understand rabbit. Whatever the bunny said, it was apparently it was good, for Pansy relaxed, "ah that's good to know, you must have a guardian angel… , "and then it looked like a thought entered her mind, "um I'm sorry I don't know your name, may I ask what is it? "the bunny said something to Pansy, "oh you don't have one, oh I know can I call you Angel? Because since of your guardian angel."
The bunny thought this over and then he nodded, indicating that he like the name, when that happened Pansy squealed and picked up Angel and gave him a hug, "oh I am so happy, do you want to come home with me?"
Angel nodded and gave her a hug.
Ok seriously she is just like my time Fluttershy.
And then a thought wormed it's way into my head, "on an unrelated note, may I ask what your birth name Clover is?"
"Um ok, my birth name is Clover Sparkle, may I ask why?"
When I heard that, I did the one thing that I was apparently good at; I fainted, again.
