//------------------------------// // Bonus: Crossover by seapony // Story: The Tales of Prince Onyx // by Stanislas //------------------------------// Winter Song woke up crying like a young filly. Which woke Onyx from his slumber. He rapidly put back his pyjama and opened his door, since the room guest where close to his room it did not take more than a minute before he rejoin the little filly, not too sure what to do he did the same thing Celestia was doing for him when he was more young after a nightmare. First he placed himself at the edge of her bed and hold the little filly between his arms, brushing her mane with his finger. Winter hide her face on his chest still crying and whispering thing about Her fault and a certain Meek Sky and some other inaudible thing. Onyx started to whispered the same lullaby that Celestia was singing to him when he was having nightmares, hopefully it make Winter more calm and after a couple of minute she regain control of her respiration and could talk normally again. “Are you alright now?” Asked the prince which by why Winter answered by nodding her head affirmatively. “Do you want to talk about it`” Winter who know that he would not understand did not answer him, which Onyx understand that she was maybe still shocked by her dream. “IF you want we can go to the kitchen, maybe a glass of water or milk will help you to change your mind?” Winter would not say no to a opportunity to loosen her tired leg and so she followed the prince to the kitchen, on their way she realise that castle was not so much but still a bit different than usual, for example they were sign of life of Princess Twilight, no portrait of her on the wall, no guards wearing her color. Then she could saw was some portrait on the wall where she could saw Celestia representing with her adoptive son at different age, they were dated from many years ago and it only confirm her what she already know, she was no longer home and alone in this strange but familiar world. They finally arrive at the kitchen, Onyx hang her a glass of milk which she gladly accept it and take a sip of it, appreciating the fresher of her beverage, she let’s her mind forget about her problem and only concentrating on the present moment where she was having a place to sleep and someone to took care of her. They both finish their glass before they returned to their own room for finish the night, this time Winter did not be hunted by her nightmare and she could appreciate a good night of sleep. *** Onyx woke up the next morning in his bed like usual, appreciating maybe one of the last few morning of his life in this room, he slowly rose up and put clean cloth for welcome the little guess he was having. At Least while he was with her he did not have to worry too much about the incoming marriage and he would not mind if the filly was staying at the castle for another day or two. “Maybe she is an orphan, that would explain why she was lost yesterday.” When he was sure that his hair was not too much of a mess and his clothe to be clean enough for be seen in public, he opened his door and walked toward Winter’s room. He knocked at her door for be sure that he could enter. “Yes?” Answered the filly on the other side. “It is me Onyx, can i enter?” Winter answered by opening her door, letting the prince enter in. “I hope you sleep well. I know Nightmare can be terrifying some time at your age.” “You have no idea” Thought Winter before she finished to make her bed which the prince helped her. “You know, i was wondering if you would like me to help you to find your family today, this way i could explain them why you were not home yesternight?”
