//------------------------------// // The Start Of A Young Prince // Story: Her Child Of The Night // by Thefastspark //------------------------------// 1980 OF ROYAL NIGHT DIARIES #1 Dear Drake was sleeping peacefully tonight. Sister Tia has come visit him after such awhile.. Though We do worry about him. He has been crying for many other nights. Maybe it is just Us and something else is it. We tried changing him, he was clean. He didn't take the bottle when We tried to feed him. He wasn't sick. We tried to check his vitals for any sign of sickness. Nothing.. Please hope it's just Us. I've also introduced him to our pet, Philomena. It was so cute when Drake hugged Philomena. The guards as well is warming to the child which we art glad for. Sister Tia thinks he will make a great Prince one day, after when We step down. We believe such too, no matter what happens, the child will be by Our side MOST of the time. Signed- Luna 1981 OF ROYAL NIGHT DIARIES #2 It has been a year. Since so much has been happening. Drake's birthday is coming soon and We am not sure what to get the little one! Ugh. We'll find out in due time. We hope We can. We'll probably going to need Tia's help with this. She did warn me about this kind of responsibility Also. More nights of Drake crying. We need some sleep. We should find out soon enough. the problem can't last forever. Also, We know sister won't be happy, but We made him a necklace. A magical one in which he will be able to control the element of Ice although We made a seal on it until he can easily use it as his protection. Signed- Luna. 1982 OF ROYAL NIGHT DIARIES #3 It seems We have found the cause of Drakes' crying.. He is starting to form Teeth. We art glad for that. That means new food shall be put in his belly. We should tell Sister Tia to get the guards to start to Get some more better food. Oh! This morning, Spike got to hold Drake in his arms. It was so adorable. Spike said he was so warm and cute. He was right about that for We're lucky We found this sweetheart. Who would even abandon him like this? It burns us with anger. Twilight wanted to introduce to him to the Mane 6. We told her that it was generous to do so, but we cannot reveal him to Equestria just yet. We art not ready for such intercourse. Signed -Luna 1983 OF ROYAL NIGHT DIARIES #4 Drake finally said his first word! We art happy about this! He said his first word! So when We brought him to watch the stars, he looked at the moon and said 'Pretty'. This is amazing! Drake has started walking on his hind legs as well maybe a week ago. He is starting to grow into a child right in front of Our eyes! Tis happening so fast for us to believe. We taught him a song... a song that I hath known for many generations. 'Her Child Of The Night'. Mother sang that to Us when We were much younger. Signed- Luna 1984 ROYAL NIGHT DIARIES #5 We're happy that Drake is loving living here with Us. Although We art scared for him. We know We love him, Tia loves him, the Guards love him, Spike and Twilight love him.. Why should We be worried? Well I'm not sure if Equestria is ready for Drake.. Maybe it's just Us. Blueblood AGAIN says We should return him to his TRUE parents, but These 4 years will not be wasted. We love Our colt too much. And We actually take CARE of him.. We made the right decision to care for him. He loves Us and We love him back. Tis simple. T-Tis We cannot grow out of him. We hath bonded so much as mother and son... We shalt not let Drake go, not ever. Signed- Luna 1985 OF ROYAL NIGHT DIARIES #6 Drake is scared of being alone now.. He says he doesn't want to leave Our side. Tis so cute so We let him sleep with Us. It's been 10 years since We were released from Our curse. And now. We don't feel alone anymore. We have somepony to look after and care for. We thank whatever sent him Our way. Drake is more loved then he imagined. We wish he would know this. Because he feels other ponies hate him when we take our Canterlot city strolls. We told him that they weren't used to him just yet, so to not worry. Signed- Luna 1986 OF ROYAL NIGHT DIARIES #7 We art so heart broken and furious. Drake came into Our room crying into Our arms. Telling me Blueblood hurt him for trying to help. I-It boils Us angry to see somepony hurt Our foal. Especially family line blood, but We gave him a good, harsh scolding for hurting Our child like that. Blueblood... If he EVER touches Our child like that again, He will get a far more worse punishment. We should warn him this. Then he'll find a good reason to know fear personally. Signed- Luna 1987 OF ROYAL NIGHT DIARIES #8 We art worried and scared. Drake has to start school in less in 2 weeks.. WHAT CAN WE DO? We're scared he will be bullied so much. Others will hurt him and tease him so much, but Drake knows through these past 7 years. He is loved. We shall manage. We will have to. We must for Drake, He hates Us being so sad. We know, but he is the most sweetest and kindest human We've ever found. He is Our precious and Our soul. We would do anything to protect his life. No matter what. We art going to buy him school supplies tomorrow. We promise... Nothing will ever hurt thou... ever... Signed- Luna
