One Last Dance-Elements of Harmony-Book 2

Chapter 3: The Only Weeping Soul

I sit in our throne room. My feelings mixed with emotions I do not understand.

I sigh with a breath as cold as my sorrow. My face full of gloom.

A single tragic day changed this day and all that follow.

Tia trots into the room with the biggest smile that her sunshine could bring. Her dress was trailing behind her almost as long as Tia herself.

She was so excited she doesn't even notice the regret that filled my eyes. She plopped down in her throne next to her. I turned my head and a tear rolled down my cheek.

How could a mare so great and powerful and wise not notice a single pony's own sorrow. Once again I sighed.

Tia doesn't notice. We sat in silence for a little while. She was now shining like her beloved sun.

"Luna, my dear sister, it is time for thy to raise the moon so we shall start our party!" Tia's enthusiasm made me want to curl up and ball my eyes out.

I nodded with great pain. I spread my wings and burst into the air. I quickly and silently, like my night sky, flew through the air to the evening sun. I raised my horn to the sky and a darker glow started to fill the air with a cool tragic emotion.

I saw Tia standing near underneath me. Her eyes filled with determination. Her face said it all.

I raised a chilled moon to the sky as the warm light drifted to slumber, for my night has arrived.

I landed peacefully onto the ground and my elder sister had disappeared.

My eyes fluttered to the ground. The corners of my lips drooped and my ears felt just as well as my heart.

I traveled through the long corders of our castle before I found the ball room. I waited a moment before I opened those grand doors.

Couldn't I just run away and not have to worry about this stupid day my sister planned. I feel everypony would agree. They wouldn't have to bring me stuff and I wouldn't have to deal with all of this stuff, but this was there way of showing appreciation to the Moon Princess.

A drip of sorrowed spilled from the corner of my eye. I whipped it away even though I wanted to leave it just like how I wished Tia would let me.

The kingdom shall not be greeted by a grieving princess.

I opened those heavy wood doors. I forced a smile to my face. A joyful princess is a joyful kingdom.

I was greeted with the smiles and joyful eyes of ponies and their little fillies. I trotted quickly past everyone trying to greet as many as I could.

Then I found my sister. I trotted to her side.

"Now that our special guest has arrived! Let's get this party started!" My sister shouted unprincess like. I didn't care. I slinked away as quickly as I could while every pony started the grand party with haunted theme.

I found the drink table and lifted a large cup of punch with me with my horn. Then I grabbed a huge plate of food and other treats and disappeared before any pony noticed me. 

Once in the hall I teleported myself to the library. I hide in my special room that was designed just for me. I sat down on a hug beanbag chair as I set my goodies on the side table beside me.

I smiled now that I was alone and away from the gathered ponies. My room was quiet. I bet Tia would start looking for me soon. I don't care. This is my night to get away.

I float a book over to me. My favorite, it's my old childhood diary. I open it with a tear sliding down my cheek. I remember the days I kept this. They were filled with hope and sorrow.

The days with dear little Harmony! Oh the good old days! Finally a smile arose to my face. I was staring at a little picture Harmony and I drew of us together. I had glued it in here along with some other artwork she had drawn. 

I was now crying tears of comfort and remembrance. I left a muffin up to my lips and chomp on it as I stare at some more drawings.

I turn to the last page in my diary. My last entry.

Dear Diary,

I'm sorry, but today is a day of grieving. My younger sister just died and I don't think I'll be writing in you for sometime. I hope you understand Diary. Along with that, I feel it was my fault. I wasn't paying attention and I wasn't quick enough to react. Her death is on my hooves. I tried to grab her, but she fell through the trees. I'm sorry. You will no longer be in my use anymore Diary. I can not imagine a life with out my little sister. Good bye Diary.

Sincerely,

Little Luna,

Age: 11

I sigh, as I always do. A few tears ran down my face and dripped down upon that last entry. It was already stained with water marks from birthdays before this one. 

"Great. I'm losing focus. I'm suppose to be over her by now. Why can't I let her go?!" I scold myself.

"HOW DID TIA MOVE ON SO QUICKLY!!! HOW CAN SHE NOT MORN HER!!!" I demand to the world around. I'm staring hastily at the ceiling. Rage swept through me quicker than my guilt and regret formed in my soul the fateful day.

My eyes darted for the ground. It was no longer regret that filled my soul, but rage toward the world. How could they move on from her? Was she that of not importance to them?

I snapped the book shut and flung it onto it's place on the shelf. I was starting to get ruff now. My magic was unsteady like my heart. I took quick hateful breathes. I then pounced to my feet. 

Why couldn't they see my pain?! The pain they should have for her?! Is she just not important?! And I not of importance?!

"WHAT IS SO DIFFERENT ABOUT HARMONY!!! TELL ME!!!! I DESERVE TO KNOW!!!!!! SHE NEEDS RELIEF AND REST!!!!! SHE NEEDS TO KNOW SHE DIED WITH A WORLD THAT LOVED HER BEHIND HER!!!!! TELL MEEEEE!!!!!" my throat ached, but I didn't care. I needed answers. Nopony cared for the one pony that brought peace to them all. My voice echoed through the room. My eyes still furrowed and my mouth in a stiff frown. The sky was now my worst enemy.

Destiny. Fate. Everything orbiting around them. My soul was wretched and so other deserved what I had stored inside all these years. I couldn't take it. I needed to get it out. It was too strong.

I was about to kick up a pillow and shoot it with a beam when the library door thudded against the walls. The long room echoed. I, still hidden in my sanctuary, froze, scared of whom was coming for me. Was it was a guard? A guest? My sister?! 

Oh, it was none of them. By the hoof steps, I could tell it was a young stallion. He sounded heavy with muscles. It frightened me. Did he hear my venting?

More questions swarmed my head. I shook them and the fear from me. If I wanted them answered I'd have to act like a princess and present myself to this stranger.

Unstiffened myself from my frightened stance. I raced my head high. I then brightened my horn with my magic and teleported into the library. I brought my self to right behind him. He was quite tall.

"What tis it thou want?!" I demanded in my Canterlot voice. I barely spooked him.

He turned with a sly grin on his face. He wore a dark colored cloak. He lifted it with his own magic.

"Princess. Don't you know how to greet an old pal?"

I stepped back with surprise. 

Wow. This one took forever to write. I got you guys there for a second thinking she was gonna turn into night mare moon didn't I? Anyway, tell me your thoughts so far! I hope you aren't losing interest in this series so far because I have big plans for the third book which shall be the last of the series, unless another is wanted. 

BYE GUYS!!! ;3
