My Little Luna

by Maximille De Lis


Chapter 14-Azure Towers

I was rounding the corners, well the curved parts of the Citadel. As i was doing this, I heard sounds of what reminded of me screaming in my own cell. There was a dim light of blue that came up ahead. I sat down re-thinking of what she will do when she sees me. The what-ifs started crawling back into my head. I stopped thinking about it so I don’t go insane while I’m here as well. I walk up to the cell, to see a Luna that is patched with black, one of her eyes had a blueish glow to it. It was still Luna, but with touches of Nightmare.

“Hey Luna, it’s me your father.”

She lit up and walked to the front of the cage. Then she had a puzzled look on her face.

“Why are you wearing a mask?”

“I don’t want you to see what condition I’m in. What I worried about was how you were doing.”

“I am doing fine, the cell is nothing compared to my room. Its a little stuffy in here.”

“Well as long as your doing fine, I’m going to talk to Celestia to let you out.”

When i mentioned Celestia’s name, she started getting angry. The patches of black started to grow, and the other eye was starting to glow. Her mane was starting to go to that ominous look. She was changing again. Before I could warn anyone about her changing into Nightmare, she burst out of the cage in which she was held in. Flying out free, she immediately knew where Celestia was. As she was charging down, I jumped on her back which was a bad choice. Immediately i felt madness and fury, something about it made me feel, stronger. I was more awake, more alive, but I couldn't stop it from taking over itself. I had to bail or I would become like her, so I jumped. The next thing I see is the floor, and I braced for the impact. Instead of feeling pain in all over my body, I only felt it in my torso. I noticed I was in the air, floating. I looked down to see Rainbow Dash slowly bringing me down to the ground. She looked exhausted, so I thanked her, even if she ignored the praise I gave her. I came to see that Luna was face to face with Celestia, Luna that was going to look like she would kill. When I looked at Celestia, I was surprised to see her,crying. A tear was shed from her eye falling to the floor to see that her sister was being consumed by the darkness in her.

“What did you do to her?”

“I didn’t do anything, all I did was see her.”

“Well you must have done something!”

“I think she might be mad at you!”

This made Celestia more aware of what she had done to me before she turned. She now understood why Luna was turning, why she turned in the first place.

“Luna, I’m sorry about what happened to him, to your father. I was only trying to protect you from any harm.”

Luna's voice was mixed in with Nightmare Moons, almost like a voice-over mix.

“PROTECT ME? I WASN’T THE ONE WHO NEEDED PROTECTING! NOW YOUR THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE PROTECTED!”

She came at Celestia with a charge, seeing Celestia not move. I knew she wouldn't move, so I did what I’d hate the most. I jumped in front of Celestia at the last second, feeling a sharp pain. I look down to see that Luna’s horn was in my chest, in my heart. Blood was everywhere, flowing down her face after she had removed her horn. I immediately saw that she was turning back to Luna, as shock had taken over her. Falling over on the ground I heard faint screaming from her as I was fading away, into darkness. The world was now behind me, seeing onward toward another way. I arrived at a tall blue tower, one of many other colors. The doors opened to see that there were balls of light in a line, but I was going another way. I assumed they were souls that were going to be devised whether they were good or bad. I went up a steep corridor in which I arrived at what looked like a court house. There was only one seat, and four balls of light, each a different size and color. There was a small red one, a regular green one, a small dark one, and a blindingly bright one. I was seated, as they started what I’d call an evaluation. They all spoke at once as one being.

“You have proven yourself that your life was more than the people who tried and kill you. You have redeemed yourself for another life of your choice. Whether it be happy or sad, rich or poor, good or bad, it is your pick. The only restriction is for you to lose your memory in the process of reincarnation. What is your choice?”

I had chance to redo my life, be happy, and to have everything. But would it be the same leaving Luna? Either be happy or never see Luna again.

“I choose nothing, I was happy in my old self. I spent half of my life raising something that didn’t exist. But I kept myself in to take care of something that needed help, and in doing so I did. I want to propose this offer until death then do as you wish. That is my choice.”

“So shall it be, you will spend your days back where you began. We will put you back in your body where it is now. We have arranged our deal, and be put into action.”

As it was done speaking, light surrounded me, and then darkness. I woke up to see that I was in a hospital. Everyone was around me, Celestia and Luna with the main six. Everyone started to get excited as I came back. I was alive again.
