"Yes sir!" A voice echoed through Gold Wing's head.
Gold Wing moaned and turned to his side.
"Yes sir! Yes sir. Yes sir…"
"Gah!" Gold Wing shouted as she sat bolt upright, breathing heavily. "W-what just happened?"
Gold Wing looked around. He was sitting in his queen-sized canopy bed in the middle of his room, which was in his mansion... Gold Wing scratched his head.
"Was all of that just a dream?" Gold Wing questioned.
His heart began to beat faster.
"Does that mean my parents didn't die?!" Gold Wing said hopefully.
He jumped out of his bed and raced out of his room, down the halls.
"I-I just had a nightmare! That's the only explanation!"
His heart filled with hope, Gold Wing ran to the dining room, where his parents usually were at this time. He was almost there, when…
"Ouch!"
Gold Wing fell to the floor. He rubbed his head.
"Watch where you're going, you incompetent--!"
"Why are you awake at this hour, master?" A monotone voice interrupted.
Gold Wing looked up. In front of him was a young, beautiful mare with a pure white coat, a long, silver mane, deep, royal blue eyes, wings, and a horn, who was at least 18 years old. She was wearing a silver blazer, a gray tie, and a long, silver skirt. A sheathe was attached to the waistline of her skirt.
"Ah!" Gold Wing cried as he jumped back. 'W-what are you doing here?!"
"Do you not remember? I made promise." The mare replied emotionlessly. She pointed at the bottom of Gold Wing's right hoof.
Gold Wing raised his hoof and looked at it. To his surprise, two feathered wings were seemingly tattooed on the bottom of his hoof. Gold Wing's heart sank.
"So it was all real…" Gold Wing mumbled, disappointed.
The mare raised an eyebrow.
"Wait a minute…" Gold Wing stopped. "M-my mansion… it's fixed…" He looked at the mare. "H-how?!"
"Did I not say? I made a promise." The mare repeated.
"B-but…" Gold Wing stammered. Did this mare repair an entire mansion in a single night?! "Hold on…"
Gold Wing looked at the mare.
"What happened to your personality?!" Gold Wing asked bluntly.
The mare looked straight at Gold Wing.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, master." She replied blankly.
Gold Wing sighed.
"Really? I mean, you used to be so--"
"Please get off of the floor, master. It is very unbecoming of an earl." The mare insisted as she held out her hoof.
"T-thanks…" Gold Wing mumbled as he took her hoof and stood up.
"Hey, I never got your name! Would you mind telling me what it is?" Gold Wing chirped as he dusted himself off.
"Not at all, master." The mare replied listlessly. "My name is Silver Moon."
"Silver Moon… I like it!" Gold Wing remarked.
"Thank you, master." Silver Moon replied.
Gold Wing shuddered.
"P-please don't call me master." Gold Wing said quietly. "It makes me feel… uncomfortable."
"My deepest apologies, young master." Silver Moon apologized.
"That doesn't really help…" Gold Wing sighed.
Though it wasn't obvious, Silver Moon showed a bit of annoyance with Gold Wing.
"It's breakfast time." Silver Moon notified Gold Wing. "Please enter into the dining room, my lord."
Gold Wing followed Silver Moon. "Well, I guess 'my lord' is as good as it's gonna get. Still, what's up with her personality? When I met her, she was so laid back and funny, and now she's as emotionless as a rock!"
Silver Moon pushed out a chair. Gold Wing sat in it and Silver Moon pushed it in. Having someone do everything for him wasn't weird (Gold Wing practically lived with it every day), but it was weird that an angel was doing it for him.
A waiter brought in a large silver tray, covered by a cloche. He placed the tray in front of Gold Wing. After he left, Silver Moon took off the cover.
"Todays breakfast consists of lightly buttered honey pancakes with fresh blueberries picked this morning, topped with sugar-free whipped cream. Accompanying this dish is a variety of berries grown in Terraria's countryside fields, shipped no less than 12 hours after they were picked, as well as a warm apple cider." Silver Moon announced unenthusiastically.
Gold Wing's mouth was agape. How did she know?!
"T-that's the breakfast that m-mother used to cook w-when it was my birthd-day…" Gold Wing stammered.
"Is it, now?" Silver Moon replied impassively.
Gold Wing's eye's filled with tears. Even if Silver Moon wasn't trying to stand in place of his mother, she had certainly seemed like she was.
To Gold Wing's utmost surprise, Silver Moon put her hoof on his shoulder and smiled at him. Gold Wing was startled at first, but Silver Moon actually made him feel safe, like everything was going to be okay. Gold Wing smiled, wiped his eyes, and began to eat.
Halfway through is meal, Gold Wing came up with a question.
"So, is everything back to normal?" He unsurely asked Silver Moon. "I mean, besides my parents being gone, everything is as it should be, right? All the servants are back and the mansion is as good as new. Life will go on with ease like normal, right Silver Moon?"
"I'm not sure if you'd want to know, my lord." Silver Moon replied, clearly knowing something that he did not.
"Why not?!" Gold Wing demanded.
"I can't say for sure, my lo--"
"Tell me!" Gold Wing shouted, knocking over his plate on cup on the floor in the process, shattering them into pieces.
"Ah!" Gold Wing jumped back, startled.
Silver Moon looked at Gold Wing.
"I-I'm so sorry!" Gold Wing quickly apologized.
"There is no need to apologize, my lord." Silver Moon replied as the broken tableware disappeared with a flick of her horn.
Gold Wing blushed, embarrassed at what he had done, but then he stopped.
"What in Terraria am I doing?! Why did I apologize?! If any other servant was with me, I would have ordered them to clean it up instantly! Why am I acting this way when Silver Moon is around?!" Gold Wing thought. "W-what is she doing to me?!"
Gold Wing ran down to the hallway to his room and locked the door, breathing heavily. He plopped down on his bed, exhausted, despite being awake for barely two hours.
"A-am I going to die?!" Gold Wing thought. " Is my mansion going to get burned down again?! Am I going to get captured by those ponies again, without an angel to come to my rescue?!"
Gold Wing looked out of his window. He saw a beautiful butterfly feeding on an orchid. Suddenly, a giant spider attacked it and ate it up, without a hint of mercy.
"What's going to happen to me?"
