“Twilight is he scared of me?” Asks a distraught Spike.
Twilight nuzzles Spike on the head to comfort him, because seeing somepony run away from him really caused him to become extremely sad.
“I don’t know Spike maybe he’s new here in town and never seen a dragon before.” Twilight said to Spike, afterwards she turns towards Rarity and Rainbow Dash who are still mesmerized by the unpolished pink diamonds.
“I sure hope Rarity has insurance for the broken window.” Twilight says to herself.

Using every cloud to his advantage, Gold Sky flies to the outer edge of Canterlot to make sure nopony see’s him putting on his cloak.
He folds his wings, diving down like a falcon, and being just five seconds from impact. Gold Sky shot out his wings to create an enormous amount of drag which allows him to land on the ground slow and soft like a feather.
He immediately dons the elegant white silk cloak and starts to use the skills his father taught him. Carefully but casually he enters a walking entourage of Canterlot elite of which his white cloak sure helps with the blending process.
Gold Sky rolls his eyes at the many mundane worries these rich fools speak so profoundly of, especially one name Jet Set. Finally, at almost arriving to his boiling point at tolerating stupid stuff, he spots the cemetery that hold the bones of two loving ponies. Gold Sky slows his walking speed to a crawl and once seeing the entourage very much ahead of him he trotted to the entrance of the cemetery.
Gold Sky stand under the arched entrance of the cemetery, he looks down at the ground taking a few deep breaths. He lifts his left hoof and slowly ever so slowly took his first step in.
After walking past rows of relics from the past, he sees two headstones placed apart from the rest. These headstones were placed apart from the rest for a reason.
The alicorn swallows his saliva, while feeling his chest becoming cooler by the grazing seconds. "Here they are." once in front of both headstones he removs his hood, revealing tears of remembrance for the buried bones.
“Mommy…Daddy.” Gold Sky starts to choke on his sobs. “I-I came home. I c-came home.” Gold Sky fell to his knees and weeps the same way he did when he was a colt two hundred and two years ago when his parents died before his young eyes.
A gray mare happens to be passing by. She took notice of the grieving stallion but kept on moving to be in time for her event in the Palace.
***
Octavia arrives at the palace to play a private show for Princess Luna and Princess Celestia, because they want a huge respite from the over-rated, too rhythmic bland and not much good messages for a young generation, music, which in the first place shouldn’t be called music but hey there is always a crowd for that Madam Baba, The Flim flam brothers, Yanye South, and High Low Greenish.
Celestia remembers the old days of music. When it’s original intent and creation was for the betterment of the mind along with showing one’s magnificence of having such a mind to create true forms of art.
Octavia is honored to perform for both Princesses, especially Luna. In fact Octavia had always been quite fond of her, so maybe after this performance she can hopefully have a nice chat with her and get to know Luna.
The gray mare stands in front of the mirror and her reflection smiles at her.
“This is real. This is grace. The highest of all honors to perform for the Princesses… All my work, practice, and musical instinct pays off right now. I can do this. I am Octavia! The only pony in all of Equestria capable of creating such pristine art on the cello!” Octavia declares.
A stallion wearing silver armor pokes his head in Octavia dressing room to alert her that her performance will commence shortly. But instead the stallion starts to check her out instead.
“Wow, she is really, really hot!” The stallion tells himself in a quiet voice.
“Too hot for you, so what is it you want to tell me?” Retorts Octavia with a sly smile on her lips.
The stallion is now at a loss of words, did she really hear what he said? Because if she did, then that is not a good thing because she might tell other mares and it will hurt his chances of getting a marefriend.
“Mis-Miss. Octavia you’re up.” Drops of sweat fall from the guard’s forehead.
Octavia stops midway in front of the guard to give him some useful advice.
“Say that to me one more time and I will make sure no mare gives you the time of the day. You understand.”
The guard rapidly nods his head up and down.
Octavia slowly walks to the stage. Her ears twitch wildly in different directions giving her the opportunity to hear every whisper from the much larger audience.
"So much for a private show."
Each muscle in her body fails to tremble…her sight does not wonder away from her bow and cello set in front of her…her heart beat is steady as the moon when it rises up from the horizon…Octavia got up onto her hind legs took her cello with her left arm while with her right arm takes hold of the bow.
Far on top of the audience Princess Luna and Celestia sit in a balcony, one guard in golden armor stood by Celestia while another guard in silver armor stood by Luna.
Octavia felt her heart give a hard beat because everything boils down to this moment. But before placing the bow on the strings she closes her eyes so her mind can create a physical but mental image of somepony.
A cloaked unicorn…Gold Sky. The first pony to stop and relish the serenity of her talent, she wonders if she’ll ever run into him again because since their encounter he seems like a really nice fellow who likes her music.
Octavia opens her eyes. On the balcony with the Princesses sat the cloaked unicorn rocking back and forth with closed eyes.
The gray mare places her bow on the strings, no movement means no music.
“Let the world hear my magnificence.” Octavia whispers in her mind.
She swings the bow in graceful movements with each stroke at different angles to produce countless wooden harmonic notes.
Luna felt the melodies take her to peace. Her eyes focuses on the beautiful gray mare, who brought peace to her with flawless, true, serine…art.
Octavia’s mind plays her loving memories.
“Father I will be a master at the cello, you shall see.”
The ponies in the audience experience their individual worlds’ disappearing; they had never heard such art before.
“They can laugh at me all they want but in the end my music will last through the ages to come, Princess Celestia and Luna will give testament to that.”
Octavia moves her bow to every command of her instinct. The instinct she spent years developing. Every hour of her childhood she spent practicing made her good, every hour of her adolescence she spent practicing made her perfect.
Every hour she spent practicing as an adult made her flawless.
“I will find Gold Sky and I will perform for his welcome party.”
Octavia glides the bow slowly over the strings. The long kind note seals itself in the minds of everypony and this Luna became lost in the peace.
The gray mare lowers the bow from her cello and opens her eyes.
A long silence followed because everyone is still absorbing the flawless beauteous performance they witnessed before them.
Princess Luna got up and clapped, pretty soon Celestia followed, the guards followed, and lastly the ground start to shake with the cheers and claps of the audience.
Octavia smilew, because Princess Luna threw her a blue rose.
Now the world shall know of the gray mare who is the living example of grace, honor, and a true creator of art- The long lost art of classical harmonic music.
“I did it father…I am a legend.” Octavia tearfully thought to herself as the noise of the cheers and claps engulfed her into a world of bright white light.
***
Octavia signs many autographs. "This is amazing." she felt good putting her name on many pieces of paper, many children squeals with joy posing for pictures with her, and many Canterlot elite request her presence at their events.
Octavia accepts some offers and turns down many. She went into her dressing room to have a quick self celebration by eating cupcakes Pinkie made for her and downing some bottles of sarsaparilla.
Luna told Celestia she will be seeing Octavia.
“Now Luna remember, do not use Royal Canterlot voice to introduce yourself to her. And to make yourself look more friendly and her size, you can change your stardust mane back to wavy hair and lower your height a bit. Well, that is if you want of course.” Celestia advises with her vast wisdom.
Luna took the suggestions into consideration and after some thinking she thought why not. It’s always good to make a good first impression, even if it is with a fine musician or maybe musical legend now.
So Luna turns her stardust mane back into wavy hair and she lowers her height a few inches. She then asks a stagehand where she can find Octavia’s dressing room. After being told Luna approaches the door and softly knocks.
Octavia hear the knocks she thought it must be a fan or her father, so she got up to answer it. *gasp* To her great surprise she sees Luna standing across from her.
“Your majesty! What an honor for you to see me, uh you want to come in?”
Octavia is timid but happy to see Princess Luna.
“Please Octavia call me Luna, there is no need to call me Princess continuously, and I will like to come in but instead I’ll give you a different offer.”
“Oooh! She allows me to call her by her name!! Can this day get any better! I also wonder what she’ll offer.” Gleefully thought Octavia.
“I will like for you to join me for tea in my study room, where we can talk and get to know one another.” Luna gives Octavia a lovely smile.
Octavia became speechless, getting invited to have tea with the Princess of the Moon is such a rarity so she nods happily at Luna.
“Wonderful! Come lets go and don’t worry about your cello I’ll have my guard carry it for you. Delta Scorch can you please carry Octavia’s cello.”
“Yes, mi lady.” Replies the guard whose horn starts to glow in lifting the instrument while walking behind Luna and Octavia.
One of Octavia’s wishes came true.
***
Gold Sky wipes away his tears. The past is the past and his parents are nothing but piles of bones now.
“Now it’s time to see Guardian Aunt…” Gold Sky took one last look at the tombstones before getting back up on all fours. “Good bye mommy, good bye daddy. May the heavenly paradise be everything you say it is.”
Gold Sky touches each marker before making his way to the palace.
The Alicorn leaves the cemetery, he trots through the business district of Canterlot he’d never seen so many stallions dressed in fine suits and so many top hats too. He could feel their eyes gazing upon him as he passed by, it must be the beautiful white silk cloak Rarity made that is attracting all the attention. Along his way he notices a very elegant white unicorn mare who has a flowing serine pink mane. “Wow, she looks pretty. Lucky fellow with the monocle to have such a nice marefriend.” Gold Sky said within in his mind, while passing the unicorn mare whose cutie mark is comprised of fleur de lises.
Gold Sky made it to the palace doors there he sees two guards standing guard, one is a unicorn while the other a pegasus. He without a sign of difficulty approaches the doors.
“Sir, to enter the palace you are required to remove your cloak. So if you’ll be so kind, hand the nice cloak over please and you shall get it back when you leave.” Orders one of the guards.
Gold Sky didn’t have time to waste and he didn’t want his true self to be revealed, two mares knowing what he is, is bad enough. So he will just use his telepathy on them so he can move on with his upcoming reunion.
The horn of the Alicorn glows. “You didn’t see me and you will never remember me.”
The Guards stood straight and their eyes ignored Gold Sky.
“Two down, many more to go, this will be practically easy I just hope I don’t run into any Elite Commando guards. Oh, two more Golden stallions…time to become invisible and forgotten.” Gold Sky thinks to himself.
Princess Celestia, who got back from the concert, feels a strange but familiar presence. Her maternal instincts start to take over. This presence…
“Can it be!? Or is it just my mind playing tricks with me since Octavia’s music really had an impact upon me.” Princess Celestia raises her guard. “It could be Discord making a return, which must be thanks to Cutie Mark Crusaders…again! Or worse!? What if the music brought back Luna’s corrupted side! No matter. Let this familiar being face me, I am ready!” Declares Celestia in allowing her magic to flow through her causing her wings along with her eyes to glow.
Gold Sky walks past the last pair guards guarding the entrance to the throne room. This is it, behind these doors is the mare who took him under her wing, loved him as son, taught him almost but not everything she knew of magic, and gave him her pure values and morals to be a good stallion. Gold Sky felt his heart beat turning into soft deep thumps. He took one deep breath, opens the doors, and went into the throne room.
***
Spike waves a hand in front of Rarity’s face so he can get her to focus back to the world and not the three pink unpolished diamonds.
“Man, I never knew diamonds has this sort of affect on Rarity. Hmmmm.” Spike now thinks that maybe instead of digging for regular gems he should dig for diamonds instead.
“Hey Twi if you don’t mind me, I got some diamonds to dig up, Bye!” Spike quickly utters before heading out the door, but the door is closed and he ends up running into the door instead. Knocking himself out in the process.
Twilight fearfully gasps.
“Spike! Are you alright!? Answer me!” Twilight starts to nudge Spike with her hoof.
Spike’s tail twitches a bit. “Why yes Rarity, my scales happen to be made out of gems. You want some gems with that? I love you Rarity, more than I love gems!! Cookies!” Blabbers Spike as each one of his eyes traveled in circles but in independent directions.
Twilight sighs in deep relief seeing that Spike is okay. Her horn creates an aura around him, allowing Twilight to pick up the knocked out baby dragon and place him on her back.
Finally Rarity snaps back into the real world.
“Oh hello Twilight and my sweet Spikey Wikey what can I do for you?” Asks the White Unicorn.
Twilight decides to inform Rarity about her broken window first and then ask her about that cloaked unicorn that broke one of her windows.
“Rarity, you may want to take a few deep breaths and please don’t freak out too much alright.”
Rarity took off her glasses and gave Twilight a confound look. “What ever do you mean Twilight?”
The lavender Unicorn points at the broken window.
Upon seeing the damage Rarity’s pupils became black dots, her jaw drops, and she made a sound that sounds like a mix of a squeal and squeak from a hen.
Twilight notices Rarity’s right eye twitching madly. “Rarity? Are you oka…”
“I’LL DESTROY HER!!!!” Rarity roars on the top of her lungs.
“Uh you mean him?” Corrects Twilight in her usual adorable manner.
Rarity turns to Twilight. “Huh?”
“Some unicorn wearing a nice silk cloak freaked out at seeing Spike, so he gave you two more diamonds before breaking through it. Which by the way, I’ve never seen him before. Do you know his name?” Twilight explains and then questions.
Rarity just blinks. She couldn’t believe Gold Sky broke her window because Spike scared him, but since Rarity is Rarity just like a rose is a rose. She seems more concerned with the fact that Gold Sky has more than one unpolished pink diamonds.
Rainbow Dash stood by Rarity and gave her a soft nudge.
“Oh where are my manners, the name of that stallion is Gold Sky. He is a al, a ali…a ali…a ali…” The mental chains prevent Rarity from revealing Gold Sky’s identity.
“Let me try.” Rainbow Dash whispers into Rarity’s ear.
“Gold Sky is a ali…a ali. Oh c’mon! He’s a ali la lo whoa chewni… oh for Pete’s sake!” Rainbow huffs in defeat.
“He’s a unicorn.” Rarity said finally since that is the only word she use in describing Gold Sky.
“Yeah and he has win…win. Whoa he’s smarter than I thought.” Said Rainbow after seeing she can't say wings.
“So his name is Gold Sky and he has wins? Ooook. Well he does look like a decent fellow, I wonder if he knows any magic?” Twilight said while repositioning Spike on her back
As to answer Twilight’s question with an answer Twilight was not looking for to begin with, Rarity told Twilight that Gold Sky got really happy when Octavia called him friend.
Twilight enters deep thought. “Hmmm…Gold Sky is a unicorn who is new in town, he gave Rainbow Dash a really dense gold nugget, along with one to Rarity, but for Rarity he also gave her three unpolished pink diamonds. Two of which were for the broken window. But the third? I guess I better ask Rarity. No, wait. She was hypnotized by it, so I guess she never heard whatever Gold Sky said to her. I think the same goes for Rainbow too.”
Rainbow Dash meanwhile hugs Rarity for making her a wonderful scarf and flew out of the boutique.
Rarity turns to Twilight. “Darling is there anything else you need? Tell you what you leave Spike here, so you can have some time for yourself while you study. And if you are still wondering about Gold Sky, I have a feeling he’ll be back. Oh! I’ll make sure to introduce him to you.” Rarity’s horn glows as she took Spike from Twilight’s back and placed him on her back.
Twilight thanks Rarity for the kind offer and left to go back to the library. Twilight wants to meet this Gold Sky, from the brief moment in which she saw him and he spoke a few words. She was able to read a little bit of him. His eyes were still kind of pink indicating he must have cried, he’s a few inches taller than Big Macintosh but still inches below Princess Luna,the outline of his cloak showed that his body is sleeker with some curves, and his horn is longer than the average horn stallion unicorns have. She decids to study more of the shape shifting spell, because if Gold Sky became really happy when Octavia called him friend then perhaps she should do the same thing. But in what form?

“Here you go Octavia, a nice cup of tea imported from our Griffon Republic neighbors. It has such a fruity but leathery touch wouldn’t you say?” Princess Luna asks the gray mare.
Octavia took a small sip so her taste buds can relish this new tea. Both her eyebrows went up with satisfaction, this tea is wonderful just like the harmonic notes that flow out from her cello.
Luna’s lips perks into a smile while some cute sound went about. (Squee)
“Luna this tea is really incredible!”Octavia gleefully expresses.
Luna simply nods in agreement.
“So, Octavia would you care to tell me a bit about yourself, you don’t have to go much into detail about some things if you don’t want to. Don’t let my title make you think that you have to tell me everything about yourself, alright.”
Octavia finally felt comfortable. But before starting she decided to take an extra sip of the tea.
“Let me start with the basics. I was born in Ponyville. My mother’s name is Harmonic Breeze and my father’s name is Allegro Note…yeah funny. Now that the basics are over I’ll tell you about my parents. My mother was a beautiful singer and my father created violins. They met when my father was making a delivery to the theater she was scheduled to sing at, you see one of the violins got crushed so my father quickly made a replacement. After giving the violin to the musician, he accidently bumped into mother and love at first sight occurred between them. So they got married, three years later I was born.” Octavia took out a picture she carries in her bowtie and shows it to Luna. The picture shows Octavia who at the time was a foal being cradled in the arms of her father but her mother’s face is scratched off, something of which disturbs Luna.
“I know what you’re thinking Luna I will be getting to that part. You see my mother spent many days away from home because of her singing career, so my father took care of me or in other words he raised me. He’ll read me stories, take me to his workshop and I’ll help him if he wanted me to, take me to school, pick me up from school, and on weekends we’ll have fun at the park. What times I had with my father. I wish I could say the same about my mother though. One day I heard she’ll be performing in Canterlot, I told father and he had an idea to give her a surprise visit. So both of us made some food with the intent of having a picnic when she is done performing. We took the train to Canterlot. A stagehand showed us to her room…w-we went inside…” Octavia pauses to take a deep breath while her eyes are closed.
“Right there before my eyes and those of my father, we witnessed her having sex with another stallion. I felt father go cold, tears fall and he drops the picnic basket which alerted mother and her lover. They both stopped what they were doing. The lover saw me and father, his eyes widened with shock, he didn’t know… Mother tried to find words. But father spoke none. All he did was remove his wedding band and threw it to her hoofs. He turned around and left. I looked at mother. She called out to me…you know what I told her Luna.” Princess Luna shrugs her shoulders.
“I told her she is no longer my mother! She approached me but I slapped her hoofs away from me, gutless wretch. I finally understood why she spent so much time away from home. I turned my back on her and went with father. That is the last time I ever saw her.” Octavia took the photo back to place it in her bowtie.
Luna now understood why Octavia scratched her mother’s face from the photo.
Octavia continues.
“Father was never the same. But he tried really hard to hide that from me. One day in his workshop he made a violin except this violin was larger than the rest, way, way larger than the rest. He called it a cello. Well, whatever it was he gave it to me. He encouraged me to try it out, so I did. I bought many books in reading music, I converted violin notes into notes for the cello and that took months. Father made the bow, strings, and case. So I practiced for months. One day my father saw me struggling on a song…he stood up behind me and took my hoof with his and together we played the song perfectly. I will never forget that moment, I-I never felt so close to father. Just him guiding my hoof to every note told me how lucky I am to have a loving father. I use that moment to push myself to be the best and only pony capable of playing art on the cello.” Octavia looks at Luna and smiles a beautiful smile at her.
Luna is happy for Octavia, being able to have such talent despite witnessing a scarring moment in her childhood. Along with having a loving father becoming a single parent.
Octavia resumed.
“After some time I decided to try my hoof at making an instrument so with some overseeing from father I made another cello! But this one was, well uhhhh…bigger. But I still call it the cello, since the notes sound deeper along with more wooden. And I think that’s enough for today, Luna.” Octavia decided she’ll stop there.
Luna gave Octavia a nod of respect. “That’s quite a story Octavia and how is your father by the way if you don’t mind me asking.”
“He’s doing really great! His business is booming ever since I started doing minor performances, two and a half years ago. But after today's performance his business will explode...I think. ” Octavia exclaims.
Luna decides to ask one more question. “Do you have any friends Octavia?”
“Of course, my two best friends are Pinkie Pie and Rarity…OH! I almost forgot, I met somepony who’s new in town. His name is Gold Sky and I first met him when I was on a hill practicing. H-he…” Octavia cheeks slightly went red but in any case not a blush.
“He sat down and just listened to my music. He listened…and I was just practicing! Anyway I invited him to lunch because he acted like an adorable delight! Pinkie Pie will be throwing him a welcome to Ponyville party in one week or whenever he's ready. I told him I’ll be performing for his party and you should of seen his smile! It was huge!” Octavia’s voice reflects the smile she had on her face.
Princess Luna and Octavia continues talking well into the evening with no end in sight.
***
Gold Sky finally enters the throne room with his face still concealed by the hood of his silk cloak. He saw Princess Celestia but from the way she had herself positioned it looks like she’s ready to attack.
“Who are you!? Show yourself coward!” Celestia demands.
Gold Sky silently gasps, did she read his mind and found out about some of the terrible things he did during his journey? Well only one way to find out.
“It’s me.”
Celestia only scoffs. “Discord don’t try to play your tricks on me! Just save yourself the trouble and surrender immediately!”
Gold Sky didn’t know what to do next, he has never seen Celestia this serious so he starts to get scared.
*POOF*
Princess Celestia teleports in front of Gold Sky with her wings glowing bright as the sun she raises at dawn and lowers at dusk.
“Remove the hood Discord! This will be the last time I ask.”
Gold Sky just nods. He removes his hood.
“Guardian aunt it’s me Gold Sky.”
Only one pony calls her that… Celestia’s wings stop glowing, slowly her face started to display shock, and reaches out with a hoof to touch Gold Sky’s face to see if it’s really him.
“Is it really you?” She asks in a voice of confusion.
Tears form in Gold Sky’s eyes.
“Yes it is me. I came home, I-I came home. Too much time I spent away…I missed you so much guardian aunt. So much!” Gold Sky approaches Celestia to slowly hug her.
Princess Celestia smiles when she feels his embrace.
“Look at you. So handsome and all grown up. Your wings fully fledged, horn fully developed, nice mane with the smell of long travel. It’s good to have you back Gold Sky and by the way nice cloak you have there.” Complements Celestia.
Gold Sky finishes hugging Celestia and looks up at her.
“Thank you. I wear this cloak to hide my true form because I don’t want anypony think I’m royalty or something, I-I tried to become a pegasus once…but that failed.” Gold Sky lies...he knew nopony will think he's royalty but his reasons for saying this were through his self perception. And his attempts to physically make himself mortal.
Celestia tilts her head in confusion. “How did you try to become a pegasus?”
Gold Sky realizes he spoke too much already. In just one day he went through so much, he saw a pegasus with cross eyes, a red stallion with three cute daughters, Rarity a beautiful fashion designer, Rainbow Dash one tough but good friend type of a pegasus, both of which know what he is but cannot tell anypony else thanks to his telepathy, Pinkie Pie with her supreme happiness plus her incredible cupcakes amaze him, and lastly Octavia…there is just something so unique about her. Her beautiful eyes, voice, pristine talent with the cello, practically everything about her just made Gold Sky think about her in many ways. He hopes that in one week or whenever he's ready he can see her again. Even though he has her word she’ll be there to play at his party, there is always the possibility of something else coming up.
“Guardian aunt can we talk about this tomorrow, I am really exhausted and I feel like going to sleep. Can you please show me to any good hotels here in Canterlot?”
Celestia shakes her head. “No Gold Sky, you will not be staying in any hotels. You will be sleeping here in the palace, there is a guest room that I think will be very suitable for you. And nopony will be able to see what you are. I-it's good that you’re finally back after all these years and tomorrow you’ll be joining me for breakfast. Where you can start telling me about you’re adventures.”
Both alicorns left the throne room. Celestia notices how the guards didn’t notice Gold Sky at all and she knew why.
“Gold Sky did you use your telepathy on the guards?” Celestia asks.
Gold Sky smiles nervously. “Yeah…”
Princess Celestia just smiles at Gold Sky.
“Well Gold Sky right here is the room where you’ll be sleeping tonight.” Before Celestia left she took Gold Sky into another embrace. It’s good that he’s finally back after two hundred years.
Gold Sky meanwhile had one last favor to ask of Princess Celestia. “Guardian Aunt can you please do me one last favor?”
“Of course.”
“Can you please remove the time stopping spell you taught me, I have no use for it at all.” Gold Sky lowerd his head so Celestia can place her horn on his forehead.
Celestia raises an eyebrow. “Are you sure Gold Sky?” She asked just to verify his request.
He nods. Celestia’s horn starts to glow, she places it on Gold Sky’s forehead and removes that spell from his mind.
“Thank you.”
Gold Sky went inside his room, locks the doors, closes the windows along with lowering the curtains, and finally took off his cloak. Gold Sky lies in bed and starts to cry, he never felt so much guilt.
Princess Celestia welcomed him back with great joy something of which he did not expect. Especially since he left without even saying good bye.
Gold Sky cries and cries. Until the guilty feeling went away and he falls asleep…at least it’s good to back home, back with the mare who raised him, and maybe hope to see the gray mare with beautiful eyes once again.
***
Princess Celestia slowly walks down the hall. She stops to think.
"Oh Gold Sky after all these years you finally came back...I just hope we can reconnect. I know you sensed my hurt because I sensed yours. Good to have you back...prodigal son of mine."
***
Princess Luna saw the sun lowering in the horizon.
“Excuse me Octavia I’ll be right back.” Luna flew from her study room.
Slowly the moon rose to the sky Octavia couldn't believe the sight before her, seeing Luna in the sky with her horn glowing raising the moon is so breath taking.
Luna came back. “Say Octavia since its dark would you like to spend the night here in the palace?”
“First I get to call Luna by her name, have tea with her, chat with her, and now I get to spend the night here at the palace! Can things get any better!” Octavia gleefully thought within her mind.
“Yes of course! Thank you, Luna!!”
Luna just smiles at Octavia. So she led Octavia to the guest room. Luna notices the doors were locked so she uses her magic to unlock them. But before entering, Octavia thanks Luna once again. Since it’s not every day the Princess invites her for tea and asks her to spend the night here at the palace.
“Luna I don’t know what to say…” Octavia couldn’t finish what she wanted to say because Luna placed a hoof over her mouth.
“Octavia there is no need to thank me. In fact I should be one thanking you! Your music, it, it, it just had an effect on me very much. I never felt so at peace before in my life, so everything I did for you today…you earned it, thank you Octavia for having such a rare and extraordinary talent in music. You are a true artist.” Luna declares.
Octavia bows before Luna and enters her room. It is almost completely pitch back because all the curtains are down. But thankfully there's enough moonlight to show her the outline of the bed.
So Octavia climbs into bed and fell fast asleep…
Not knowing Gold Sky is there too, without his cloak covering his wings.

I can't describe the power of classical music it's just something you must listen for yourself, if you want to understand the reaction of the audience.
