14 Voice of Silence
Chapter 14
Voice of Silence
Noctis and I made our way back to the throne room, but on the way some guards and maids were eying me and whispering among themselves. I didn't pay too much mind untill I heard someone mention Blueblood, ugh of course it's him. At one point one two guards came up to me, they turned out to be Lightning Hooves and Thunder Guard, and told me that at the moment they wouldn't recommend me going to the throne room. That Blueblood is placing a complaint about me, for what? No one know, they just know he's completely histerical about it.
We're approaching the throne room, doors closed, yet I can hear the yelling of Blueblood. The guards are doing an outstanding job keeping motionless. As we get closer to the door I start to make out what he's yelleing
"...AND HE IS NOT EVEN A PONY!! I AM AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO MAKE ME YOUR SON" He's really pissed with extreme hatred towards me. That can be a good introduction; there is a slight pause
"THIS WILL NOT BE THE LAST YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS!!!"
"We are done here" Noctis and I stop infront of the door
"Yes we are" with that the doors swing open and out come Blueblood, who only needs to take a glance at me the get even angrier. He walks up to me, gets really up to my face and points at me "You..." There is so much venom in his voice, relax dude
"BLUEBLOOD!"
"I'm not done with you" He walks away after that
I begin to walk into the room, but get stopped by a hand on my shoulder which procedes to turn me around. I'm now facing Noctis "Don't worry about him" I'm not worryed, but what is he planning?
"Why would I be worried? Because a spoon-fed snob-nosed prick had his jimmies russeled? Please" I pat her on the shoulder and turn to the throne
"Sorry about Blueblood. He is a handful at times" Both Celestia and Luna begin their descent down the stairs
"No problem, is not like he hit me or anything. And if he did, it wouldn't be that difficult to put him in his place" Just grab the arm and twisted behind his back, piece of cake
"If he ever does anything out of line, don't do anything drastic and inform me, please" I guess I won't be breaking his arm then
"Ok, don't worry" The four of us meet at the foot of the stairs and Celestia gives me a hug
"How did it go with the...?" She let's go of the hug but keeps her hands on my shoulders
"Care package"
"Care package? Did it have anything you like?" She his me a happy smile, but her face turn a little concerned "Have your eyes always been red?" Red, what? Wait, my eyes!?
Luna grabs my head and turns it to face her, her face going from shock to concern to anger as she turns to Noctis
"WHAT HAS THOU DONE TO OU-" Now I only hear ringing in my ears
I turn to Noctis whos cowering in fear a bit, I put myself in between her and Luna "She didn't do anything!" How do I explain this? "Inside the package there where abilities I could apply to myself, one of them being lycanthropy, or the ability to turn into a werewolf, that's the reason for the red eyes. NOT HER!!" If I remember my lore correctly, red eyes on a werewolf means alpha
I see Luna mouth something, the ringing still present in my hearing; Did she say something?; I the see Celestia's look off concern grow and mouths something to me; I think she asked if I'm ok, maybe?
"I can't hear a thing" Both Luna and Celestia cover their mouths with their hands, but Luna after a couple of seconds drops to her knees and begins sobbing into her hands. I crouch down and give her a hug "It's ok, it was an accident, just a mistake, all we can do is learn from them" I whispered into her ear
I feel a hand on my shoulder, and look at the owner, being Clesetia who then points at the side of her head then to me, She wants me to check my ear?; I cover my ear with one hand and give it a slight massage; I feel something warm and liquid on it, no... my ear drums burst didn't they... damn it I look at my hand, and sure enough there is blood on my palm, Great... I need to make Luna feel better though, a thousand years in the moon after a mistake only to make another the next day... she must feel horrible; I clean my hand on my jeans and return to hugging Luna, I then begin to stroke her mane
"Don't worry, I'll be fine soon enough. It's ok, just stop crying and it'll be better, doesn't that sound good?" She finally returns the hug
After calming down Luna, we headed to the infirmary to get my ears checked out. On the way Luna apologized to Noctis, they hugged and everything, but Noctis still seemed down. I placed my arm over her shoulders, and she leaned on me. Tender Care took a look at my ears, scribbled something, got another doctor who them proceded to check my ears. I was told through paper that I'll have to stay the night so they can check on me early in the morning. Soon after Rick came by to check on me, but after a while everyone said their goodbyes and I was left alone in the hospital room.
It could have been worse
Indeed, it could've. I'm just glad Luna won't be kicking herself tonight, I think I move to the window
At least you're not completely alone, you have me
Oh, goodie, I'm so honoured I though sarcastically, I look out the window The sun is going down now
Do you think Luna is lifting the moon now?
Shouldn't you know? outside, I see the moon slowly rise even if a bit unsteadily I guess she is
No, I wouldn't know as I'm stuck with you. That's what they wanted
They?
NOTHING!! GOTTA GO!! I hear the sound of a door slamming shut which causes me to look at the door way, but nothing has changed
Hello? I hear nothing Great... Fucking bitch I walk to the bed and lay on it What to do? What to do? I remember the laptop I could play a little I raise my hand with my palm open and up, and think of the laptop, which soon appears on my hand
I boot up the computer and look at the game library HO. LY. SHIT. That's a lot of games... The screen is filled with names, all I could imagine and more. I begin looking at all the games I can, with names like GTA, TES, and other franchises popping out at me, but I decide on 'Red Faction: Guerrilla'. I begin to play but find it difficult to use the mouse pad But there is no space for the mouse, so I guess I'll use the controller I promptly take out the controller and plug it in.
After a while I'm in Dust destroying some smokestacks, making them fall on eachother and other buildings when I feel someone trying to get my attention. I pause the game and look to where the poking came from, seeing Luna and Noctis. I reach to take off my headphones, but find none Right, I'm currently deaf, forgot about that "What are you doing here?"
They say something, I think I heard something that time, but can't make out what it was "Remember, I can't hear" I say pointing at my ear. Luna begins to look as if she's thinking, meanwhile I quit the game, after saving of course, and put the PC away. Luna then gets an idea, makes her horn glow and a white tendril makes it's way to Noctis's and my head.
Next thing I know, I'm standing in the throne room infront of Noctis and Luna. "We got worried thou were not in the dream realm, and chose to examine thy condition"
"Well, as you could see I'm fine, just got a little distracted playing a game" This must be a dream created by Luna, that's why I can hear
"Surely thou just jest, tis almost dawn" Did I play for that long? But I didn't even feel tired
"Oh" All I could say at the moment
"Tis was not the only reason we came. We wanted to apologize, same as Noctis Umbra, even if she does not have anything to apologize for, the guilt within her is very much true"
"Aunt Luna, you, actually, both of you don't have anything to apologize for. Luna, you were just worried about me, sure, maybe you overreacted a little but-"
"A LITTLE?!! We disabled thy hearing! That surely constitutes for more than 'a little' problem, and it is our fault" Luna let's her head drop. I approach her and give her a hug
"Let me finish" I try to speak as softly as possiple "You were just worried something bad happend to me, ok? Bad stuff happens all the time, just, don't worry about this, please" I hold her shoulders and put her at arms lenght. Luna let's a small smile adorn her face
"Thou are just too kind. We thank thee" she gives me a quick hug and let's go
I turn to face Noctis who's holding her arms and looking at the floor away from me "Noctis, what has you troubled? Why do you think you need to feel guilt over what happened?" I walk up to her and lift her face to look at her in the eyes, she's been crying, her eyes are bloodshot and a few tears still hang on her face "I don't want you to feel sad, ok? It wasn't your fault-"
"BUT IT WAS!" what's with everyone interrupting me today? Christ! She snaps her face away from me "I saw your eyes change color after Blueblood threatened you. I thought it was normal on humans and didn't say anything. If I had told you then you would have been able to explain it and none of this would've happened" I try to lift her head again but she resists
I do my best to sound kind, but stern "Look at me, it wasn't your fault" I feel like a broken record, ughh I try to lift her head, a bit more successfully this time "I'm an unknow species and you thought it would be insensitive to mention the eye thing, nothing more. It wasn't your fault nor do I blame you for it" She then backs away a couple of steps and truns around, with her back to me
"You don't understand, us batponies are actually vampires. We can turn other ponies into one of us if we feed on them. It's been outlawed for close to two thousand years to feed on other ponies. If I had told you, and you explained what happened to the princesses, then nopony would've gotten mad and thought I've broken one of the more fundamental laws in Equestria" She faces me again tears streaming down her face "You see it is my fault" I just walk up to her and hug her
"It doesn't matter whose fault you think it is, the bottom line is I don't blame you. It was just a misunderstanding and a small accident, and no one was hurt" Badly anyways
"But you are hurt because of it" I roll my eyes Just relax already!
"No one of importance got hurt"
"But you are important to me" I think I'm hearing shit
"What was that?" I feel her face get real warm
"I mean- Y-you're a prince, r-r-right? So you are a pony of-of importance hehe" Maybe she said 'to them', right? RIGHT?
"I guess you're right, but still, it doesn't matter who or what am I, I will never blame you, ok?" she nods and wipes a tear away
"It is time for us to awake" both Noctis and I nod
I start to wake up, feeling refreshed but with something heavy on my chest. I open my eyes and look down, spoting Noctis using me as a pillow. I look around and see she's sleeping on a chair, that and Luna standing at the foot of the bed smiling down at us. I hear a groan from Noctis, I look at her as she opens her eyes immediately noticing her position and sitting up in an instant, blush noticeable through her fur, WAIT.... I heard her groan, which means
I smile at her and sit up "Morning, sunshine. Am I comfy enough for your liking?" she blushes even harder and looks away trying to hide a smile
"Maybe"
"That's good to hear" Her eyes just widen to unimaginable size and her blush can't seem to get any redder
Tender Care walks into the room, a bit surprised Luna is present and hastily bows "I was not made aware you were present Princess Luna" She then turns to Noctis "Are you feeling ill? You're looking a bit red"
"Nope, I'm fine"
"If you say so. Anyway, how is Luis doing?" I'll answer that
"I'm doing quite fine, thanks" Tender Care surprised by me answering looks at me
"Can you hear me properly?" I shake my head
"I can just barely hear"
"I'm gonna go get some fresh air" With that Noctis walks out of the room, me not taking my eyes off her I hope she's not mad at me
"Anyway, usually it takes patients longer to get there hearing back, but you only took a night" It might have something to do with my new powers... the lycanthropy
"Same with humans actually, normally it would take a while too for a human to get their hearing back to a...usable? I guess, level. The thing is I'm no normal human, not anymore anyways, and as of yesterday I'm also a werewolf, usually that comes with accelerated healing. Well, at least in the stories I've read as werewolfism isn't a real thing in my world"
"I see. You're still going to have to stay here untill your hearing is at at least 50% of your normal, or about 75% of a normal pony, just to be on the safe side" So i'm stuck here for another day at least "I'll go get Doctor Sound, to get the test done" I nod, she walks out of the room
"If thou has feelings for Noctis Umbra, they art better known than forgotten" Luna gives me a sort of smug smirk, I don't like her like that, do I? No, Luna's just teasing me, right? Although I am feeling weird since she left the room, but that's because I made her painfully embarassed...probably, I'm just feeling guilty, yeah, that's it. It's just guilt- Luna chuckling stops my thoughs "If thou art feeling conflicted, it means our hunch was well placed" Tender Care comes back with the doctor from yesterday, Doctor Sound Saved by the bell
They both bow at Princess Luna and turn to me "I was told you could hear now. Is this a fact?"
"For the most part, yeah" the doctor then takes an otoscope out of his lab coat
"I shall begin the exam then"
The ear and hearing exam was a bit more interesting this time around as I could actually hear. They check the state of my eardrums and such, as well as my sound response. They came to the conclusion I had gotten about 27% of my hearing back.
During the test I was wondering my I didn't fully heal from sleeping, the most plausible explanation is that I didn't sleep a full hour, so the effects of healing were just partial. The other plausible explanation is that because this is something you don't deal with in Fallout or TES, I have to heal from it the old fashioned way, with the accelerated healing of my new powers.
As the doctors walked out of the room, Noctis came back. The room seemed to feel more colourful after she entered, Maybe I do like her... but why? I don't know her that much "Sorry about teasing you earlier, Noctis"
"I'll accept your apology on one condition: you'll have to tell Princess Celestia that you are a cotton-headed ninny muggins" Luna gasps I guess that's really bad? Sure
"Ok, but that means I can call you Red, sound fair?" After a bit of though she nods and extends her hand
"Deal" I shake her hand
"Deal" Luna just sighs and facepalms
With a pop and a flash Celestia appears in the room with a scroll in hand "My dearest, Luis, I was really overjoyed when I got the news that you could hear once again this morning. But I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for long due to my duties. I just wanted to give you this letter from Twilight who's been worrying since she got the news of your little *clears throat* incident" She gives me a loving smile and hands me the letter, then begins talking with Luna in a volume I can quite hear
Might as well read the letter, let's see:
Hello Luis,
I hope you are doing better, Princess Celestia told me that you had an accident and went deaf, she wouldn't go into any specifics, but just know I wish yo all of us in Ponyville wish you well. I don't know when, or even if, you will come back to stay in Ponyville, so I'll give you some news from here so you can be upto date when you arrive. Rarity's and Applejack's sisters, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom (I guess you can tell which sister is whose), and a friend of theirs, Scootaloo decided to create a club just to find out what their special talent is. I guess you don't know them yet, but their talents are a bit too abvious for them not to know, but foals will be foals. Pinkie is also been saying your birthday was during the summer sun celebration, but she can be right on just a hunch, just thought you should know.
With the best of wishes,
Your friends in Ponyville
PS
Tell me when your birthday is so I can correct her, and tell her not to assume so much on just a gut feeling
Let's see two days to my birthday the day we took the plane in the early morning, woke up somewhat after noon, so probably the same day as nobody found me, then I stayed at Twilight's for a night, then we reorganized the library in her house I talked to mom the rest of the day and spent the night there. When we went to Ponyville was my birthday
I look up to Celestia "Mom, do you have a scroll and a quill I could borrow?" she makes my requested Items appear and I take them
What can I write to Twilight...? How would I start it anyways? Dear Twilight? No, sounds weird. Steemed Twilight? Too formal. I guess I could just do a simple 'hi'. Sure, why not? I begin to write
Hi Twilight,
How are you? I'm doing fantastics because I actually recovered a good portion of my hearing overnight and the doctor believes I might be out of the hospital by tomorrow afternoon (but I say sooner). I will be moving to Ponyville real soon just need to finish some stuffs over here, specifically the translator for Rick. I'm going to guess-
Not really, I already know
-Sweetie Belle is sister to Rarity, and Applebloom is sister to Applejack; along with their friend I'm sure they're going to be a handfull, trying to 'discover themselves'. As for my birthday, Pinkie isn't too far off, it actually was the day we went to Ponyville, the summer sun celebration eve.
This is for everyone, or everypony. Thanks for worrying about me, but it really isn't needed. Also, glad you call me friend even if we only really talked for a few hours.
Your slightly more interesting friend (I'll tell you what this means later),
Luis
That should do it I roll the scroll "Mom?" Celestia looks at me "Can you send the letter, please?" I give it to her and she burns it, the smoke flying out the window.
"We shall get going, right dear sister?" Luna nods reluctanly What did they even talk about? Noctis looks a bit menacingly at me and motions with her head to Celestia while mouthing 'Our deal' Almost forgot, right
"Mom, one thing before you leave. I've been a..." This feels soooo degrading "cotton headed ninny muggins towards Noctis through the morning, just letting you know" Celestia looks at me a bit shocked, but it soon changes to amusment
"Did you loose a bet, Luis?"
"It was actually a deal" I look at Noctis from this day foward nicknamed Red "Right, Red?" she blushes a little bit and looks at Celestia
"Yeah, the deal was that he had to tell you he was a cotton- you know- for me to forgive him for something he did this morning, in exchange he can call me 'Red'" She turns to me "Why did you decide to call me Red" I give her a smug look
"Because you blush a lot" Her blush deepening while giving me an angry face
"Dear son of mine, you truly are a cotton headed ninny muggins" Celestia chuckles "We better get going" both Luna and Celestia teleport away
The rest of the day went quite well, I think. Red and I talked for a bit, as it turns out she really likes strawberry milkshakes and can't decide if she likes apples or mangos better, personally I prefer mangos. I showed her the computer and we watched the spiderman triology, good ol' Toby making her cringe in the third one. Not too soon after she was asked to leave, which she did, sadly, and the room felt off with just me. Just after sunset I got my dinner, same as all the other meals here: an apple, green mush and jello; then Doctor Sound got the surprise of his life when testing my hearing again, 61% of my hearing was back by the end of the day.
Tonight I had one of my reoccuring dreams, like always I wasn't licid. I was in a desolate cityscape, no one around, but nothing was in ruins. Houses had warm meals, untouched, on the dinning tables, TV's turned on to the news with no one to host, cars just sitting in the middle of the streets engines still going, there wasn't a soul in sight, not even animals. But this time something happened, I felt a hand on my shoulder and a feeling of-of ... of something, something good washed over me, I turned around to see who it was, but I woke up before that could happen
I hear the sound of a door creak open
Sorry, just have to come end the chapter
Fucking bitch, you woke me up I really want to know who that was
Don't complain, you still have like four hours of sleep left. Just go back to sleep, keep on dreaming
Fuck you. Don't wake me up again
Just go back to sleep I'm sure whatever dream you had will be back
I just lay in the bed for a few minutes thinking about today, when a though crosses my mind. I sit up from the bed
"How did she understand the movies??"
It wouldn't be much of a universal computer with out a multiversal translator, now would it? I roll my eyes
Of course... I lay back down and go to back sleep
