//------------------------------// // 1: A Chance Meeting // Story: The search for Daky's brother // by CommanderOfTheNewLunarRe //------------------------------// Lunar was walking through Ponyville hoping Luna would not notice him heading towards the Everfree. Its the one place I can be myself ​He thought. While he was walking, he saw a pony he had never seen before walking in the same direction as him, probably heading to the same place. "Greetings, stranger. Don't you know it is dangerous after dark." Lunar called stepping in front of the pony. "Hmmm, i was told that, i´m new here but i´m searching for someone." he said calmly "You can call me Darkness knight ,or darky as some had been calling me recently." "Well welcome to ponyville. I am Lunar Shield, Luna's Chief Adviser and Leader of the Equestrian Military. If your looking for somepony I'm the pony to talk to." Lunar says grinning revealing Razor sharp teeth "Thank you ... Wait, di-did you said L-Luna...?" He started blushing "Emmm..." he stopped "... Sorry for that, so you say can help me? My brother disappeared and a pony from a nearby village told me someone in here should know" "What did he look like?" Lunar asks. "Hmm...My brother looked quite like me, but a little big bigger, with green eyes, about the other pony, i don't know, i only know they told me to talk to a pony who lives in a library or kind of." He replyed "Ohh you mean Princess Twilight. You should have said so sooner. Follow me." Lunar leads him to the opposite side of Ponyville where a library stood. Lunar knocked on the door saying: "Hey Twilight! Wake Up!" Her name is Twilight?" As soon as he said that Twilight came down, all sleepy and saying "Uhmm... yes? What is it?" "This pony says he needs to talk to you." Lunar replies "Really, what is it?" She said. "Ummm... Hi princess, my name is Darkness knight, a pony from a nearby village said that you might have seen my brother, he is like me, just a little biger and with green eyes" he replied. "Now that you mention it, I think I saw someone in Everfree like that. He was with a group of ponys, but lookeyd like in a hurry. He left this necklace on the ground." "Th-Thats my brother's necklace!" he said as soon as Twilight show it to them. "We must go there. i must see my brother." "Woah. Hold on there your not going into the Everfree alone. I lived there for 20 years, so I'll show you around." Lunar says. "Just wait while i call my brother Golden Dust." "Ok, i will go with you if it is that dangerous." Darky said "Will your brother also come?" "Yes he is on his way from Canterlot. When he arrives we will leave." Lunar walks to a thick shadow and pulls out a black sword sheathe with a silver crescent moon on it saying. "Can't forget this." "Nice sword." Then darky pulled out a shield with some carvings and a winged sword as a simbol on it from a bag he had been carring with him. "But i rather a good defence. Princess, i will take the necklace, if you don't mind" Twilight gave the necklace to darky and said "Ok. If you excuse me, i'll go back to sleep." Lunar says "you haven't seen the blade yet" and draws the double-edged lunar steel blade "Hmmm... nice. Hope you are as good with it as how good it looks. I had never been a good swordman, but no one has taken me down using this shield. When will your brother arrive?" Darky replied "I'm the Greatest Swordsman in Equestria." Lunar says as a white unicorn with a glittering gold mane and tail walks in carrying a golden bow. saying "Greetings everypony." "Why it only took you long enough Golden." Lunar says. "Sorry Lunar I was in a meeting. Who is this?" he asks looking at Darky My name is Darkness knight, an exiled knight from a kingdom far to the east. I came here seeking my brother, I was told that he was in Everfree, so I´m going there to look for him. Lunar said he would come with me because is dangerous to go." Darky replied "Indeed it is. My Twin Brother is always right when comes to danger." Golden replied "Seems like it. Do you have everything ready or shall we take a moment to prepare ourselves?" Darky said. "We're ready when you are." Lunar and Golden say at the same time "Allright, then give me a moment, i must get some things before we go. Wait here, it won´t take long." He left and after a while, Darky came back. "Ok, lets go."
