//------------------------------// // Showing The Magic // Story: Her Child Of The Night // by Thefastspark //------------------------------// Luna closes the night diary and slips it under the bed. She sighs wiping a little tear that stung her face.. Looking at the red and pink horizon. It was so many years since she found the little child.. So many memories. So many close calls. So many laughs. So many tears shed. "It was been so many years since thee were so little.. But.. We believe we should show Drake for the first time of Us raising the moon. Besides We made a little surprise last week." She said chuckling to herself. Luna got up elevating herself wincing in a bit of pain. She leaned forward and stretched her forelegs and backlegs out, each had a satisfying pop. She gave a small Moan in relaxation. "Well. Might as well get Our child.." She trotted to the door, using her magic to open it while two guards stood there. They quickly saluted as if on cue for something. "Good evening, your Highness!" The two guards said in unison, bowing respectfully. They then returned to their blanked expression while standing side by side. "Good evening Privates." She said trotting downstairs with a slight rush. She kept thinking on how happy Drake would be to see her raising the moon to him for the first time since he was old enough to remember it. Secondly, it was also the first time that he spoke his first word. She kept hearing giggling and laughing near her. She could recognize where it was coming from since she lived thousands of years here in this castle even the day she was born. She stops at the room in the Library. seeing Drake giggling while wearing Celestia's crown on his little head, Celestia sat near him with a little smile on her face. Drake's red wool pajamas on his hairless body, deep brown eyes that stuck out with happiness, brown hair that touched to his eyebrows, most likely in need of a haircut, his ice drop necklace hung off his neck swaying back and forth, small body around 4'5 tall. "You're so silly Drake." Celestia said nuzzling him. Usually she was so busy doing her royal calls, but this night she had free time to spend with her grandchild for now. "Thanks Auntie Tia! I love you!" He said with pure happiness on his face, hugging her. Celestia blushed under her fur, she was lucky Luna raised him so well. Celestia loved this human like Luna has as well. She would do anything to protect his life. "Thank you Drake sweetheart. I love you too Drake." Luna trots up, trying to hold a smug. He was well behaved with Celestia as well which was good. "Ah! Drake! We see thou art being a cutie with Tia." Luna said teasingly, she liked to sometimes give him a hard time too. "M-Mommmm!" Drake lowly shouted. What Drake hated more then anything... Was being embarrassed like that. Drake groaned blushing himself as both Luna and Celestia gave a light chuckle. "Drake.. We came down here to show thou something. Come with Us." Celestia levitated the crown back on top of her head and smiled.. meanwhile Luna levitated Drake onto Luna's back, the both trotting off to the main balcony. "Mommy? Where are we going?" Drake asked with a little young voice. He didn't know what was going on but they were elevating stair levels. "It's a little surprise sweetie." She replied opening the doors to the main balcony where Celestia and Luna would watch the ponies doing their daily business in Canterlot. "WOW! It's so high!" Drake exclaimed. Luna sat down on her haunches with Drake on her back. He never ever thought that they were that high off the Canterlots' grounds. "Now Drake.. Watch the sky ok?" She instructed. "Ok Mommy." He simply replied. He was so excited to see what was in the sky. Drake pierced his eyes at the sky, waiting for the moon to come up; Luna's horn glowed bright, her aura shining on the bright rock.. It slowly elevated up with ease. The sun fully down and the moon shining bright. What Drake saw was amazing. He wanted to cry. On the moon, the words carved into the rock said 'I love you Drake.' "Mommy. Thank you!" said gleefully hugging his mother.. He loved it so much.. "We love thou as well.. Never forget little Drake.." She said replying to the tight hug. "Mommy, thank you. For doing this. I will never forget." He couldn't keep his eyes off the moon, eyes sparkled in wonder and amazement. He knew that she is the goddess of the night, but never did he know the FULL story of her past. He said yawning lightly, laying on her lower neck, tired. "Mmm. We see thou art getting tired. Let us sing thee a little lullaby." Luna said as she cleared her throat. She began to hum softly letting her child fall asleep to her soothing voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYM4DgaQdu8 Drake was sleeping already in a flash from his mother soothing, and calming voice. Slowly rising, she trotted off the balcony to the Royal bedchambers, Guards bowed after her as she entered her bedroom, only her nod in response. gently placing him on the bed. She used her teeth to cover Drake up with her blankets. "Good night Drake. Have sweet dreams." She whispered into his ear, tenderly kissing his forehead goodnight. She closed the door using her magic which glowed a midnight blue. Watching Drake fully asleep. She looked under her bed and took out her 'Royal Night Diaries.' She sat on her haunches propping open the Diary. Her magic levitating a ink holder that was closed shut. As well she brought over a quills around 6 in them. "Ok. Let's begin after such a while." She said to herself quietly before she started to jot down her thoughts. Slowly giggling as she wrote, she kept on thinking to herself. "We shalt teach Drake our lullaby once more since he was such a young age when We taught him it." Something bothered her, when Drake had to start school in almost two weeks, worry of him being made fun of and picked on for being a human. "We dost love Drake, we dost... But... It tis my Sister's law for young fillies and colts." She whispered. Luna stood up for a brief moment, trotting over to Drake's side, stroking his hair with her hoove. "We art sorry, Drake... We will do everything We can to make thy life better then what thine had before..."
