Her Child Of The Night

by Thefastspark


Secrets kept untold.

Drake walked silently to the lower area of the castle, keeping on switching head side to side.

"Ok.. No ponies around.. Let's make this quick." He said as he put his hand on the wall. Giving one knock, another 2 knocks, 1 knock, 4 knocks and 3 knocks as if some sort of code. The wall flew a orange color, it sliding to the right showing a purple mare with deep green eyes, her cutie mark a mic and some notes.

"Welcome back Drake. Kinda missed you having me to help you build." She said stepping aside.

"I know Lavender sky.. I've tried my hardest to continue but it's been hard."

Lavender just smiled.

"Sweetie. It's fine. Let's finish it up so we can let you fly it. Although you know Luna won't be happy from you building machinery behind her back." She said.

Drake walked up to a small backpack with metal wings attached to the side.

"I know Lavender. I just want to feel like an Alicorn like mommy.." Drake said picking up a knob and twisting it to tighten a left wing.

"Lavender... I just want to show I'm not just some human. I can show I could act like a Alicorn." Drake smile was put back on as he stepped back seeing his 3 year work.

Lavender nodded. "Like I said. Be VERY careful."

"It's finished. I'm ready to test it." Drake said as Lavender slipped the back pack on him with the wings folded.

"Be careful Drake. Please." Lavender soothed in a calming yet worried tone.

"I will.. Thank you." He left the area of the castle, leaving Lavender to trot to her room to eat.

Meanwhile; Drake opened a balcony door, letting the morning wind blast him.

"Good air.. Let's keep it that way." He said as he pulled a long string making his wings spread.. The wings looked like 22 by 22 inches, with the tips almost touching the edge.

He stepped into the edge of the balcony, taking a deep breath.

"Ok.. Here goes." Drake let his body weight throw him off the edge, wind harshly blasting his face. Ponies looked above him in fear. Drake then spreads his arms like a bird would. His body soared through the air. It actually worked. He was a technical Alicorn.

"Wwoooooooooooo!!!!!" Drake let a victorious yell. He flies past the castle balcony as guards watching him in horror and confusion. Though, Celestia was let confused.

"Is that... Drake?" She asked herself getting off the Throne.

She then makes her way to the balcony, watching Drake soar freely.. She would scold and yell at him. But, she smiled.. Seeing what it would be like to fly on his own. "I don't know how that child did it.. But he did." Celestia air as she was about to join him. Spreaded her wings and galloped off the balcony flying towards Drake with each large flap
Though Drake sees this and his blood ran cold. "Oh no.. Auntie Tia." He moaned shrinking his head to his body.

But although he thought he was in trouble. Celestia flew toward him with a smile on her face.

"Hello little Drake. Very nice wings you have." She said feeling them gently, cold, hard, and shiny.

"Y-You like it?" He asked unsure.

"Of coarse sweetie. You look like an alicorn now, you have the magic. Now the wings. You are a very good Alicorn."

Drake couldn't help but smile at this.

"T-Thank you Auntie Tia.."

Celestia then flew ahead of Drake, her silhouette casting in the sun. It was amazing to Drake how something so bright could be so pretty.

Drake shook his head and flew his wings after her.

"Wait! I want to fly next to you!" Drake called out as Celestia slowed down for you.

"Oh alright, sweetie." She said as Drake's wings were beaming the suns reflections.

"Auntie Tia.. Why is the sun so bright?" He asked looking into her purple eyes.

"Well sweetie, my sun is made up of gases and magic that lets the gases warm, letting crops grow and melt any snow or cold air."

"Oooo.. That's so cool. Will I ever have to take up the moon when mommy is done with it?"

"I'm not sure, You'll have to ask mommy that."

"Ok... I love you Auntie Tia.."

"I love you too Drake."

Drake closed his eyes and smiled... but soon faded into a scream, a grey magic blast hit Drake smack in the back of his spine, a nerve point as well. Making Drake faint and fall out of the sky.

"DRAKE!!!!" Celestia screamed swooping down catching Drake before he was killed on the fall, scooping him into her forlegs, his head tucked onto Celetia's mantle.

His breathing was then shallow, hoarse, tears flowed out of his face.

"M-Mommy..."

Celestia then quickly flapped back to the castle, where her room and balcony was.

"Shhhhh... it's ok, It's ok honey.. Auntie Tia is here.." She whispered in his ear, trying to calm him.

She turned his neck to see what hit him, and there is was... a dark grey magic black on his third spine ridge of his little neck. She was absolutely furious. She wanted to know who did this to him. But for now, she just rubbed his neck gently, trying to calm and comfort him.

"A-Auntie Tia.... It hurts... S-So.. Huh.. much.." He shuddered and whimpered, the pain over bearing his body and mind.

"I know Drakie sweetie, I know it hurts, Just hold on." Medics then came into the room, trying to check his vitals, his body warmth, Trying to help him in anyway,

"Your highness... I've suspected the magic to be... Evil and dark, thoughts of pain and misery are clouding his brain, his body only thinks of pain to him."

"What unicorn could do that!?" Celestia asked worried for Drake's safety.

"We are not sure. But.... It's best to look into it.."

"Thank you Nurse Wingdeed. Thank you.' She said as the medics left the area, Drake's body still cringing.

"M-Mommy.... it hurts.." He cried softly as Celestia then snuggled near him.

"Shhhhh, I know it hurts. I do.. Just hold on sweetie.."
