A young dark blue Alicorn colt ran through the halls of the castle. He was closely followed by a smaller dark blue Alicorn filly. "Hurry Luna or she'll get us."

_ "I'm coming big brother."_

_ The two were being closely chased by a rather irate white Alicorn filly with a flowing pink mane. "Just you wait till I get my hooves on you two."_

_ The colt looked over his shoulder. "I can't honestly understand why you're so mad, pink suits you." He then bursts out laughing as he and Luna duck past servants and soldiers alike in their attempt to escape the white filly's wrath._

_ "You two are so going to get it."_

_ The colt and Luna laughed the whole time they were running. They had tampered with the white filly's shampoo, putting in a food coloring so that when the filly went to wash her hair it turned pink. Her screams were the starting pistol for the colt and Luna to run for their lives._

_ As the two rounded the corner, the colt noticed an open balcony. "Come on Luna there's our way out."_

_ "But I don't know how to fly yet."_

_ "That's ok, you can hop on my back."_

_ "O-ok"_

_ The colt allowed the smaller filly to climb up onto his back before looking out over the lush forest that surrounded the castle._

_ "Lunar don't you even think about it."_

_ "Why Tia whatever do you mean?" The colt grinned and jumped off the balcony and into the air, with Luna giggling on his back. She waved to the white filly._

_ "Bye big sister."_

Tom sat up abruptly in bed. It was still rather dark out and from the sounds of light breathing next to him, he could only guess that day break was not for another few hours. He yawned deeply and looked to the sleeping white mare beside him. The memories of their childhood seemed like the two would have never ended up as they are now. Somehow, for some reason, they did and it was the best thing in the world.

He lay back down beside Celestia and lightly rubbed her neck and side, receiving a pleasant sound for his efforts. The white mare slowly turned her head to her lover and smiled softly.

"Hi."

Tom smiled. "Hi"

"Is it time to get up yet?"

Tom shook his head. "I don't think so. Besides, you been doing this how long and you ask me if it's time?"

Celestia giggled softly. "Fair enough."

She then gave Tom a kiss and laid her head back down to return to her sleep. Tom stayed up a little while longer, just admiring the night Luna had made before laying back down and returning to sleep.

"Come on Tia stop being such a worry wort."

_ "Lunar, mother and father told us not to fly just yet because the winds can blow at anytime."_

_ "Ah what do they know. Besides they aren't here and Sunny Day is looking after Luna ever since she got that cold."_

_ Celestia sighed. "Come on Lunar be reasonable."_

_ The slightly larger colt waved her off and took off from the northern balcony. He flew through the air, allowing the currents to take him higher then the last time he did it. "That Celestia, just because she's the daughter of the king and queen she thinks she can tell me what to do. I'm my own colt for the stars sake. Besides, Life's no fun if you don't take risks."_

_ Just as his thoughts reach the end of their line, a fierce wind blew from the colt's left side and sent him twisting and spinning out of control. He figured Celestia must have seen because as he tumbled he caught sight of her but she would not reach him in time as he crashed through the trees of the forest below._

It was sometime before the colt came to and realized he was in his bed within the castle. He looked about the room and only then did he hear the sound of light breathing. He looked to his side and saw a head of a white mare next to him, asleep.

_ "She has not left your side you know."_

_ The colt looked to the door and seen a cyan mare with a white mane and tail._

_ "How long was I out?"_

_ "Not long, a few hours."_

_ The colt looked back to the sleeping Celestia. "I guess I'm in trouble when the Celestia's mom and dad get back huh?"_

_ The earth pony mare walked over to the colt's bed. "Well it would be hard to explain to them about the bandage on your broken wing. Honestly from a fall that high, the princess thought you were dead because you were not moving when she found you."_

_ "I should have listened to her."_

_ "I don't pretend to know the princess's feelings young master Lunar but I will say one thing. The princess has a deep affection for you whether you see it or not. Of course she is just as stubborn as you are and won't admit to it."_

_ Lunar looked to the sleeping mare beside him. "Autumn, I... I am sorry I put her through so much grief when we were kids."_

_ The mare giggled softly. "Master Lunar you are still a child. Such acts are expected."_

_ Lunar laid back and put his head on his pillow. He sighed deeply and looked up to the ceiling. "Shall I wake the princess?"_

_ Lunar shook his head._

_ "Then I will leave the two of you be. You need your rest young master." The mare then left the room with both Lunar and the sleeping Celestia._

_ Lunar then looked over to the sleeping princess an gently blew into her ear, slowly waking her. Celestia yawned and stretched but when she had seen Lunar was awake she nearly scolded him for not listening to her in the first place._

_ "Are you ok? Dose it hurt?"_

_ Lunar shook his head. "I seen you, you know, coming for me. I'm sorry I didn't listen. I'm always getting you in trouble with your mom and dad. Even sweet Luna gets scolded because of me."_

_ "Lunar it's not your fault. Luna and I are just as much to blame as you. Just our parents are here and your's..."_

_ "Aren't, I know Tia. My mom and dad were killed by Diamond Dogs. Thats when I came to live in the castle with you and Luna, I was just a foal then. Still for all the bad things I did to you, I'm sorry. I didn't mean any of them."_

_ Celestia leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss upon the colt's forehead._

Tom again woke to the sound of knocking on Celestia's bedroom door. "Princess are you in there?"

Celestia's head soon shot up at the realization that it was not her sister at the door. Tom fell out of bed again as the lock unhooked itself and the door opened. "Phew, your highness honestly if you are going to do something like that in the privacy of your... own."

The unicorn mare caught sight of Tom's clothes.

"Your highness who's are these?"

"Well they are..."

Feeling himself come to the notion that they could not keep hiding their relationship any longer, at least from the staff, Tom rose in only his boxers.

"Those would be mine."

The mare looked to Tom then to Celestia and then back to Tom before she backed away slowly and screamed for the guards as she ran down the hall. This wasn't going to end well.

Tom or Celestia didn't have time to react as the human was soon pinned to the floor and spears were pointed at his face. "Guards what is the meaning of this, release him at once."

"Sorry your highness but we can't do that. Your safety as well as the Safety of Princess Luna is our top concern."

"Do I even look remotely in danger?"

"Sorry ma'am but we can't take that chance."

This was going nowhere and Tom was getting a bit irritated. So to release his pent up aggression, he used his magic and propelled the guards a few feet away from him and floated into the air.

" Fools, you know not the one of whom you accost!" A purple aura swirled around him as he spoke. " So for those who can not fathom the notion, listen well. I am Lunar Star, protector of the Royal Sisters, guardian of Equestria and Lord of the Star of Aegis. Countless lives have fallen to the might of my hooves and I shall watch countless more before the underworld takes me again. All shall know my power and despair!"

All the guards, including Celestia stood with mouths agape at the display. They looked to their princess for answer but all she could tell them was to leave and wait out in the hall. They did obediently and closed the door. Celestia then walked over to her lover as he floated a few feet from the ground, his eyes glowed white as he looked to her. Placing a gentle hoof to his leg made him drift down and the immense magic power he was emitting to disappear. He then slumped again his love as she held him up.

"Please forgive me Tia. I am not sure what came over me."

"Lunar enough. I understand you frustrations believe me. I am just glad it was you that blew up and not I. Come on, you have to get dressed, there is a lot of explaining to do."

Tom took his time placing his clothes back on. He knew there were going to be questions and as such, didn't really want to deal with them. But he pressed those thoughts deep down and did his best to be whom he was.

As the door to Celestia's bed chambers opened, Tom, leaning against Celestia, stepped out. The soldiers would not dare come near him, not after what they saw. "Um... excuse me, my lord?"

A soft and gentle voice came from his left side and a young light orange unicorn mare stepped between the soldiers.

"Autumn don't go near him."

The mare ignored their words and slowly approached. "I am sorry for my sister's action Lord Lunar."

"Autumn? Autumn Breeze?"

The unicorn nodded and dipped her head. "She was my ancestor lord. My family had passed down tales of you and the princesses for generations. Please forgive my sister Summer, she didn't know who you were."

"I can understand your sister's reason. I take it I look a bit different then before I was killed."

"Sir, with her majesty's permission I would like to become your servitor just as my ancestor was. While you're in Canterlot that is."

Tom looked to Celestia, to which she nodded. "Well so much for keeping it hushed. I suppose an address to the kingdom is in order?"

"Perhaps but not as of now, that little stunt you did sapped your energy. Might I suggest breakfast first."

Tom nodded as Celestia and Autumn helped him through the castle to the dinning hall.

"Clouds above what the hell was that?"

A gryphon that sat on his hind legs shook his head. "Such power and that's only a portion."

"Grain you're not saying that's who I think it was is it?"

The gryphon nodded. "I am afraid so. What's odd is that every time we felt it, it has grown stronger so it stands to reason that whoever possesses Lunar's power..."

"Will gain complete control in a matter of days. Grain this is not looking good. I say we hightail it the hell out of here. We can go into exile."

Grain again shook his head. "If we did and either side found out, we are as good as dead. Greaves would kill us for sure and if Greaves succeeds and take power from one of the three, the other side will come looking for us once they find out we deserted. I am afraid we are stuck Gallen. Until one side makes a move, we can only watch."

"Good heavens, what happened? We heard a thunderous boom coming from the one side of the castle. At first we thought it was aunt Luna but she's been here with us."

Tom sighed as Autumn and Celestia helped him over to his chair. "I am afraid that was me Blueblood."

"Are you ok?"

Tom smiled. "I am quite alright Cadence, thank you. It seems Celestia ands I were found out this morning. The guards rushed me thinking I was a threat. I can not blame them for doing their job."
