Luna’s Lover

 

  Everybody thought nobody loved Luna. Actually, so did she walked the streets of any town, ponies hurried into their homes. They were afraid she was Nightmare Moon. However there was one stallion who loved her.


  That stallion was Comet Tail. He was her royal guard. Whenever he accompanied Luna, he always wanted to tell her, to tell her that he loved her. However, he was afraid. Perhaps so afraid that he barely had the courage to salute her when he saw her. Comet Tail was a beautiful stallion. He had a white coat and a golden mane. His cutie mark was a pen. Before he was a royal guard he was a writer. Comet Tail was almost an anonymous writer. Only a couple of his friends read his books. Though, when they did, they said he wrote so passionately.


    One night he was talking to his friends. Comet kept on asking them what do they do when they fall in love with a girl. They all responded the same: “ You just go talk to her.” “ Not as easy as it sounds.” Responded Comet Tail. Comet Tail realized something. He was very skilled at writing. The stallion decided he was going to write her a letter. That night, he stayed up to write it. It read:


         Dear Princess Luna,


I know you think that nopony enjoys the marvelous show you make every night. However there is one stallion who does. That is me. Since the day I signed in as a royal guard I was blinded by how beautiful and majestic you were. Everyday I tried to tell you how I feel, but I never had the guts. I was misunderstood just like you. When I was younger I always used to write. Poems, fairy tales, legends, didn’t matter. However everypony else was playing outside, while the small little colt I was stayed inside and wrote. I wrote day and night. People thought I was a freak. Oh well, that’s enough about me.


 Your starts. Your stars  are the most beautiful things ever. I will become one soon. For I am going to die next week. Please princess, tell me, will you take care of me?


 I love you,


Comet Tail


 


   As Comet Tail wrote the last sentence, a tear ran down his  face. He left the letter on his wooden desk. He gave the letter to the messenger pony, who was now delivering mail to Princess Luna. Comet Tail know that it would take a long while for Luna to get to read his letter. He might die until she reads it. That was what he never told anyone. That he was dying.


   The messenger mare entered the throne room. “Your mail, princess.” “Thank you. You may leave.” The mare left. Luna started go through the mail. The letter written by Comet Tail.


  Meanwhile, Comet Tail was walking in the Canterlot Castle Garden. He felt a sudden pain. He collapsed on the ground. Comet Tail took three deep breaths and then passed away. No one was there to see him. To help him.


 Luna was still going through mail. She read one last letter. Comet Tail’s letter. After Luna finished reading, her face was filled with tears. She rushed to the royal guards to ask where Comet Tail was. The guards had no idea. She asked the guards how he looked like. “White coat, golden mane,” answered a guard. Luna remembered. When she first returned from the  moon and transformed back into her normal self, there was only one stallion who stayed near her. IT was Comet Tail. Luna flew through every room, searched every corner of the castle. Heck, she searched every street of Canterlot. But then she realized, she hadn’t checked the Canterlot Castle Gardens. She flew at top speed and got there in a second. There Luna saw on the grown a white stallion with a golden mane, laying cold and lifeless. Luna just knew it was Comet Tail. She rushed him to the hospital.


   There a  dozen of doctors tried to bring him back to life. Hours passes. Tension grew. Luna’s sadness was getting bigger and bigger. The only stallion that loved her, even though she threatened to grip Equestria in permanent cold. He still loved her. After hours of terrible pain, Luna got the bad news. The doctors tried to bring back Comet Tail but he was dead long before she brought him in. Luna’s eyes swelled up. She burst into tears. However, she knew there was no time for that. She took Comet Tail and placed him on the ground. She waited for a bit. Suddenly, a star appeared in the sky. It was Comet Tail. Luna placed him in the most beautiful place in the sky. In the middle of a beautiful picture made of stars. He shone the brightest. Luna could swear she could hear “Thank you,Luna,”. Luna took Comet Tail to the graveyard. There she buried him. She brought the most beautiful flowers she could find. After lowering the moon she went to bed.


  In her sleep, she dreamt that she was with Comet Tail. They were walking in a field, a flower field. Luna told Comet Tail how much she loved him and that he meant so much to her. Comet Tail told Luna that he will always be with her. “Whenever you will close your eyes, dear Luna, I will be there. You do not have to worry. If you ever feel lonely you can always close your eyes and I will be there to support you. I know you are strong and you are capable of so many things. You do not have to mourn me forever. I will always be watching over you, However that must not make you never love again! I want the exact opposite! I want you to live a happy life Luna, a happy endless life!” Luna smiled. She knew Comet Tail wouldn’t leave her. The next day Luna raised the moon and talked to Comet Tail. She talked to him, by closing her eyes.


  She did this every night until one day, when she met a stallion. Comet Tail was looking over her, happily.
