Unforeseen Consequences - Chapter 12

By Trotte
Created: 2021-05-13 18:46:10
Expiry: Never

  1. >An ever so familiar landscape laid in front of my eyes: a cruel sun set high up in the cloudless sky suffocating the sea of humble, graffiti-ridden buildings that made up the slums in which I grew up in.
  2. >It’s a bit curious how much one’s perspective can transform with something as simple as a change in environment.
  3. >How funny it was that I once thought of the slums as my entire world, like a cage I’d never been able to escape from, but looking at them from where I was standing, or rather flying, made me realize just how small they always were.
  4. >The alleyways that I knew like the back of my paw, the web of narrow and dusty streets, the numerous shop districts, the central plaza with its dry fountain, the colorful tents that conformed the main market, the dried canals, even the city with its tall skyscrapers, they all felt like they belonged to a distant past.
  5. >This strange sensation of nostalgia became stronger after Discord made the suggestion to drop altitude, and lead me through the old canal that I once called home.
  6. >Every single detail and aspect of the canal, from the old graffiti painted on the hot concrete walls, to the stagnated waters, and finally the old pipe that me and Resonance used to live in hit me with a rush of both fond and harsh memories.
  7.  
  8. >Everything concluded with a deep sense of sadness once I saw that the home that Resonance and I spent so much time, tears, laughs and sweat in building was turned into a pile of rubble.
  9. >A couple of posters from different vacation spots that I ripped from old magazines, some tin necklaces and bracelets, and the destroyed skeleton of my bed were the only remains of my possessions, the rest was gone or destroyed beyond recognition.
  10. >Things weren’t much better for Resonance’s things, the improvised bookshelves that once held all the old books that my little brother cherished so much were left as little more than a pile of old broken wood and some wet paper sheets.
  11. >At least the ponies responsible for this, looters, patrols or both, didn’t steal the old radio that my little dork loved to tinker with so much.
  12. >Guess I was lucky that they didn’t think that it would have much value. I mean, why would they? It’s just an old, busted radio with some spaceship stickers plastered on it.
  13. >I pressed the power button on the radio, and the first thing that came out from it was a distorted broadcast of a pony spewing whatever the company told him to, “In other news, the war efforts turned sour when a sandstorm halted all operations of the brave 5th platoon. However, fear not my ponies, because we shall…”
  14.  
  15. >Filled with disgust, I turned off the radio, I had no interest in hearing how those ponies and their stupid company screwed themselves over.
  16. >I gently placed the radio to a side and searched for more stuff that the looters and patrols forgot to take with them, and the next thing I found was a small toolbox.
  17. >Of course those ponies wouldn’t take this, it was covered in rust and the tools were barely worth more than a couple bits in total.
  18. >That didn’t matter for me or Resonance, though. As old and rusted as they may be, these pieces of junk were so helpful to get us some food many times. Sometimes by building stuff, and others by less legal means.
  19. >Finally, the last thing that left intact was something that really made my heart ache, it was nothing less than the last gift that I ever gave to my little brother.
  20. >It wasn’t anything out of this world, just simple poster with the silhouette of a young unicorn placed over a yellow background that read in big stylized letters:
  21. >“The amazing PhD colt show! No matter how hard, he will answer all the questions you throw!”
  22. >Despite all the typos and the poor print quality, Resonance really loved this poster, and so did I. We had so much hope that this would help us to get a couple of extra bits.
  23. >As I held the small poster close to my heart, I couldn’t help but to wonder if, Resonance had also started to forget about the slums.
  24.  
  25. >Part of me hoped that was the case, that just like me, my little brother had found a place to call home in whatever world Discord dropped him in.
  26. >Speaking of Discord, I really had to give props to him. The guy had the decency of standing at the pipe’s entrance the whole time and leaving me be with my thoughts.
  27. >Things don’t last forever, though and Discord was sure to show me that.
  28. >After letting out a big sigh, Discord stretched his limbs and finally broke the silence, “My dear Eris, you have been awfully quiet since we arrived to this world, are you perhaps starting to feel conflicted about our little task? Because we can try it out later if that’s what you desire.”
  29. >I glanced at the poster one final time before shaking my head and getting out of the pipe.
  30. “…Nah, it’s just that the heat got worse.”
  31. >“So that’s your answer, then?” Discord let out a small chuckle as a wide grin appeared on his face, “Very well, my dear, then what do you say if we move on?”
  32. >I looked up to the sky and saw a large ship being escorted by several smaller ones. They were military ships, no doubts about it.
  33. >I guess the heat wasn’t the only thing that sucked around here.
  34. “Yeah… this is enough nostalgia for one day, still… thanks for the detour, Discord. Maybe you ain’t that bad after all.”
  35. >“I’m not bad, she says…” Discord’s grin grew even wider as he shrugged, “I wonder if you’ll say the same once I ramp up the difficulty of your training, because trust me, my dear, you have no idea what’s coming… and to be honest, neither do I. That’s the beauty of chaos for you.”
  36.  
  37. >I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes before looking at Discord with annoyance.
  38. “You know what, dude? I spoke too soon, you’re the worst! And know what else?! You smell like dead fish!”
  39. >“That’s more like it!” Discord said with a small chuckle before smelling his armpit, “But now that you mention it, I think that I used too much cologne today… oh, well! Who cares? Are you ready to cause some chaos or what?”
  40. “Pfft! Do you even need to ask? I was born ready, dude! Let’s turn that stupid city upside down! Or sideways! Or you know what? Let’s change those stupid skyscrapers for domino pieces! That’s gonna be fun!”
  41. >“Ah, ah ah! We’re not going to that city, our objective is located in a wholly different place… and from what I recall, you’re quite familiar with this particular facility.”
  42. “…You’re talking about the company’s labs, aren’t you?”
  43. >“Ding, ding, ding! A hundred points to the spunky young draconequus! That’s correct, my dear! We’re going to throw a party in that dull prison! And let me tell you, this will be one for the ages!”
  44. “Dude, I get you’re not from around these parts, but I have some shocking news for you… the labs are IN the city! Like, didn’t you pay attention when you first went there?”
  45. >“Oh, my dear Eris! Never in my life would I have expected you to be so naive! The youth of today, I swear! They don’t know anything about anything!” Discord slowly shook his head as his grin became a full-on smirk “But fear not, my dear! Because I’m about to fix that problem.”
  46. “You seriously gotta dial down the creepy-factor, dude! But okay, let’s say you’re somehow right. If those labs ain’t in the city, then where the heck are they?”
  47. >“Well, while I could easily pull out a map and give you a thorough class in geography, I think it would be for the better if we take a less abstract approach” Discord floated above me and readied his talons in an overly dramatic motion, “After all, an image is worth more than a thousand words.”
  48. >… … …
  49. >… …
  50. >…
  51.  
  52. “You gotta be frickin’ kidding me, man! You’re the one who’s too dumb to see beyond her own muzzle!”
  53. >Whoever this filly was, she shot you a murderous glare and after fully displaying her fangs, she barked “ME?! I’m not the dummy who was trotting around like a total spaz! Here’s an idea! Why don’t you take off those ugly dumb goggles, huh?! Maybe then you’d see something!”
  54. “Oh, yeah?! Well… it’s not my fault that you didn’t see me while I was checking out this awesome garden, heck, I bet you decided to crash into me!”
  55. >“Sure! Because your dumbness is so big that pulls everything to… WAIT A MINUTE!” She then paused for a moment, and after scratching her chin, the filly narrowed her eyes at you “What are you even doing here, dumbface?! This part of the castle isn’t open for dumb visitors like you!”
  56. >What a way to change the topic! But who cares? This girl can go hug a cactus for all you care! That’s why you crossed your forelegs and turned your gaze away from her.
  57. “I ain’t gonna explain anything about anything to a blind weirdo!”
  58. >The filly quickly extended her bat-like wings and darted towards you, planting her forehead against yours “HOW DID YOU CALL ME?!”
  59. >She actually managed to pull you a bit out of balance, but after preventing any fall, you narrowed your eyes.
  60. “You heard me! Or what? Are you deaf too?!”
  61.  
  62. >“Last warning, kid!” The filly growled as she pushed you back, “Get your dumb face and your dumb goggles out of this castle!”
  63. >You never were the kind of pony who gets scared at threats, and this filly wasn’t the exception. So you pushed her back and adjusted your goggles.
  64. “And what if I don’t?”
  65. >Her pupil’s became slit as her muzzle retracted like a rabid dog, then, the filly let out a high pitched sound, like a cat when it gets angry, “*HISSSSS* THEN I’LL BREAK YOU IN TWO!”
  66. >You had no idea where the heck did that come from, but you didn’t care either, it was too late to throw the towel.
  67. “Oh, yeah? I wanna see you try!”
  68. >“THAT’S IT!” The filly yelled, and took off the ground, slapping you with her wings in the process, “You’re dead now!”
  69. >Alright, this girl could fly, which means that she already has an advantage over you. That sucked, but you already had a plan.
  70. “Give me your best sho- WHOA!”
  71. >The filly didn’t wait for you to finish that taunt, she quickly flew down and after getting a grip on your hoof, she threw you with an actually scary strength into a puddle of mud.
  72. >It happened too fast for you to counter that throw in any way, shape or form. The only thing you could do was to clean up the mud from your face, and jump back on your hooves as fast as possible.
  73.  
  74. >This crazy girl could not only fly out of your reach, but she was also way faster and stronger than you, and that throw made you think that she was took karate classes or some trash like that.
  75. >A tough opponent, but she still had a clear weakness, one that your entire plan relied on: This girl had the temper of a frickin’ dragon.
  76. >So instead of running away or do a charge, you started to shake your body as if if you were dancing, all while smirking in the smuggest way possible.
  77. “Hah! Is that the best you can do?! Gonna have to try harder than that!”
  78. >“*HISSS!” With an impressive speed, the filly made a mid-air U-turn before making another diving again to kick your flank.
  79. >You couldn’t ask for a better chance, because at that speed, there was no way she could dodge the pile of mud that you threw at her face.
  80. >It was a direct hit, the filly tried her best to take off the mud, “AAAH!” but she only managed to fly past you and crash into a small bush.
  81. >You let out a big laugh after the filly came out of the bush, completely covered in leaves and dirt, and angrier than ever.
  82. >Of course, she darted towards you, and started to poke your chest while yelling, “SHUT UP! That was a cheap shot and you know it!”
  83.  
  84. >With a huge smirk on your face, you shrugged off her words and started hopping around like if you were in a boxing match.
  85. “I dunno what they teach at your fancy karate classes, but here’s a bit of advice from the real world: Everything goes in this game”
  86. >The filly shook off the leaves and dirt of her, and after spitting one last leaf, she narrowed her eyes at you and growled, “And here’s my advice: Get your flank ready because I don’t play nice either!”
  87. >As the both of you adopted a more offensive stand, the tension grew so thick that you could cut it with a knife.
  88. “Let’s gethis over with…”
  89. >In response, the filly cracked her neck and took off the ground, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you”
  90. >The two of you charged at the same time, more than ready to throw the best you had… but were promptly stopped midway through when a pony landed on the ground with an imposing force.
  91. >This pony in question was no one else but that scary high-ranked patrol that you met during your first “trip” through the castle: Moonlight.
  92. >… … …
  93. >… …
  94. >…
  95. “Dude, you gotta be kidding me, I know the company was bad, but this… this is just on a whole new level of evil.”
  96. >The same cruel sun was shining up in the cloudless sky, the wind still carried the same dry and hopeless heat, but this new landscape felt so strange and bizarre that almost made me thought I had stepped into some dead alien world.
  97. >Hollow carcasses of dead trees littered the eroded soil while a myriad of serpentine trenches, craters and abandoned highway deformed the otherwise plain geography.
  98. >Even the mountains in the far distance weren’t exempt from all of this decay. Most of them were missing huge chunks in different areas.
  99. >No doubt that those gargantuan drills, some as tall as the mountains themselves, were the clear culprits. I just wondered why none of those disgusting machines seemed to be operating.
  100. >“I’ve travelled to a thousand worlds, seen a thousand disasters, I even caused some of them, and yet...” Discord said in a grim tone, “I can count with my talons the amounts of times I’ve witnessed this a devastation of this magnitude, in a way is kind of amazing.”
  101. >Sitting on top of this barren valley, a mesa of rock and metal looked over the dead land. Company ships constantly flew in and out from this nightmarish place, while tanks, trucks and smaller vehicles occasionally traversed through the intricate web of highways that sprawled from of the mesa.
  102.  
  103. “I don’t get what’s so amazing about it, this is just depressing, dude.”
  104. >“I absolutely understand why that seems to be the case…” Discord slowly nodded before turning to me with an actual hint of care in his face “That’s why I must ask again: are you absolutely sure that you still want to continue with this? We can stop if you want, my dear.”
  105. >He really was concerned about me, huh? That was cute, but absolutely unnecessary; like, I just wanted to curb stomp these jerks, you know?
  106. >Besides, I could use this to learn a trick or two about this whole chaos business, I just hoped Discord went ballistic.
  107. >Still, I ain’t gonna lie, Discord showing some worry about me was kinda nice, in a creepy grampa sort of way… I wasn’t going to tell him any about that, though. I didn’t want to start a cheesy moment.
  108. >So instead of saying thank you or anything like that, I rolled my eyes and punched his shoulder in a sorta friendly manner.
  109. “Just shut up and start the show before I die from boredom, you big oaf!”
  110. >Discord chuckled and shook his head, “As you wish, my dear…” He then raised his talons over his head in the same over-dramatic way from before, “Let the chaos begin!”
  111. >When he snapped his talons, Discord sent a clearly purple shockwave that rippled through the entire valley, twisting it and contorting it awesome ways that I never could have imagined possible.
  112.  
  113. >It’s really a no-brainer that my excitement for this whole plan skyrocketed when the effects of the shockwave started to happen.
  114. >The sky was quickly covered by strange spiky clouds that poured chocolate milk upon the land; said milk quickly filled the serpentine trenches making the dead trees come back to life.
  115. >The difference here, is that instead of having lush green pines and oaks, the cups of these trees were filled with colorful spots, stars, squares and triangles, while growing stuff like sweet corn, tomatoes and even potatoes out of their branches.
  116. >The eroded soil adopted a new color and texture, first it was your regular healthy mushy brown but it wasn’t long until it started to glow with ever-changing colors arranged in a chessboard-like pattern
  117. >All of this while sharp blades of grass painted with every color imaginable basically broke out of the ground.
  118. >The intricate web of highways that lead to the company’s facilities, as well as the abandoned ones became so twisted that it was simply impossible to describe the end result. Some sections looked like a roller coaster, while others were contorted in unimaginable angles.
  119. >Every company’s vehicle, be it ground or air based, was transformed into a random giant animals that ranged from flying pigs and giant dodos, to fusions of koalas, flamingos and who knows what else.
  120. >This happened all while the mesa of rock and metal along with its extensive underground section were violently ripped off the ground and encased in a bubble floating miles above the ground.
  121. >It was a carnival of pure awesomeness, one that filled me with such a sense of victory that I couldn’t help but to fly up to the sky and add some chaos of my own while I laughed hysterically.
  122. >While I really couldn’t match Discord, I made sure to at least add even more color to the scenery by creating a bunch of spotlights that came from the spiky clouds and the ever changing ground.
  123. >I would’ve done more if my own skill with chaos magic allowed me to and if Discord hadn’t placed his paw on my shoulder and said, “Calm down, my dear. Remember that we still have to introduce ourselves to everyone inside those facilities.”
  124. “A’ight, but we gotta do it right! It’d suck if we don’t give those guys a really crazy party!”
  125. >… … …
  126. >… …
  127. >…
  128. >What the heck was Moonlight doing here? You’d have thought that a high-rank patrol like her should be busy with much more important tasks than arresting a couple of foals about to duke it out.
  129. >Did she even come here to arrest you, though? You had to remember that this was a whole different world with very different rules and ponies from what you were used to.
  130. >Heck, if the fact that frickin’ magic existed in this place, then Luna and Celestia were more than enough to drive that point home.
  131. >So while the patrols that you were used to would’ve not only issued an arrest, but also took all your bits and beat your skull in the process, the patrols of this world probably weren’t a bunch of complete jerks.
  132. >There’s also the fact that you didn’t have any bits at the moment, no patrol can take your bits if you don’t have any.
  133. >Still, this was kinda a major concern; being bitless sucked hard and so far you haven’t encountered any sucker to scam.
  134. >Anyway, going back to your original theory, everything seemed to point out that it was actually correct. So far you haven’t been arrested, get your flank tased and your nonexistent bits haven’t been stolen.
  135. >Probably the biggest giveaway was that while Moonlight was fully clad in her battle-worn armor, there was no trace of the terrifying aura that inspired pure fear among her peers.
  136.  
  137. >It was actually the opposite: Moonlight’s face displayed amusement more than anything else, and her body language didn’t give you any indication that she was here to deliver the patrol hammer, she was just, well… being chill.
  138. >That didn’t mean you dropped your guard, though. Despite your amazing deductions, that crazy filly was incredibly freaked out by Moonlight’s presence, and you weren’t gonna run any risk there.
  139. >“Ah, so that’s what you’ve been doing!” Moonlight playfully said as she gave a smirk to the filly “Tell your coltfriend that playtime’s over, because you’re coming with me, little missy!”
  140. >Any sense of precaution was thrown outta the window, and instead got replaced by sheer confusion and disgust.
  141. “Coltfriend…? COLTFRIEND?! WHAT?!”
  142. >Sharing your deep disgust, that crazy filly flew to Moonlight, waving her front hooves like a maniac as she yelled, “MOM! HE’S NOT MY COLTFRIEND! He’s my enemy! And we weren’t playing, we were going to battle to the death!”
  143. >You stood there motionless while trying to figure out the meaning behind the words that filly just garbled.
  144. >Those two were related… by blood… as in, Moonlight was that maniac’s mom. Man, how do you even react to that? That’s some A-grade mind blowing material right there!
  145. >Or maybe not, those two had the same explosive temper, and taking a closer look, they really shared a whole lot of physical traits: Their muzzles were shaped more or less in the same way, their facial structure was similar; y’know, that sorta thing.
  146.  
  147. >After placing her hoof around the filly’s neck, Moonlight wiggled her eyebrows and replied in the most teasingly way possible, “So that’s how kids call smooching nowadays, huh?” She then let go of the filly and shrugged, “Good to now! Oh, and by the way? You’re grounded.”
  148. >The filly’s face adopted a bright red color and slapped her forehead while shouting, “MOM! Stop ruining my battle, please! Ugh!” But all of that disappeared when she realized the second part of her mom’s statement, “Wait! No fair! Why am I grounded?!”
  149. >Moonlight rolled her eyes and raised an eyebrow, “Does this answer your question?” she then took out an honestly high-quality wooden mask of some strange creature from her armor and playfully held it with her hoof.
  150. >For a mere second the filly was absolutely shocked; but she quickly hid it behind the best poker-face you’ve ever seen, “Nope! I have never seen that mask in my entire life.”
  151. >“Yeah, right…” Moonlight replied with a hint of sarcasm as her face adopted a much more stern look, “I’ve told you a thousand times to not spook the castle’s staff with your little craft projects, they already have enough on their plates to worry about a little filly flying around while pretending to be a ghoul!”
  152. >The filly’s ears dropped as she slowly landed in front of her mom, then, she looked down in defeat and muttered, “It’s a gremlin, not a ghoul…”
  153.  
  154. >Moonlight let out a tired sigh and pinched the bridge of her nose, “I don’t care if it’s a gremlin or a maulwurf, the point is…”
  155. >While this little show was both informative and entertaining, you decided to take advantage of the fact that both of them were distracted and get the heck out as fast as your hooves allowed you to.
  156. >You didn’t gallop straight for the exit, though. Both Moonlight and that filly had the advantage of being able to frickin’ fly, which means that if any of them took notice, then they’d caught you in no time.
  157. >Instead of running that stupid risk, you went for the lush and dark vegetation that this garden had in spades, that way, you could hide until all danger was gone.
  158. >It was an amazing plan that you had used countless times to escape from every patrol and angry clerk that had ever crossed your way… too bad that this world ain’t like yours.
  159. >Moonlight immediately took notice of your escape attempt, and dashed with such an incredible high speed, that your brain barely processed the moment when she blocked your path.
  160. “WHAT THE HECK, MAN?!”
  161. >With a little giggle, Moonlight playfully tilted her head while giving you an innocent smile, “Going somewhere?”
  162. >She may have caught you off guard, but you weren’t gonna give up without a fight… which was kinda stupid since Moonlight clearly overpowered you in every conceivable way.
  163. >After ditching the idea of having a honorable last stand in favor of something that allowed you to get outta trouble in the cheapest way possible, you quickly made a back step and threw a huge chunk of mud at Moonlight’s face.
  164.  
  165. “Hah! Let’s see how you like that… huh?!”
  166. >With another showcase of her almost unnatural speed, Moonlight not only managed to dodge your mud attack with ease, but she also did an awesome acrobatic flip while in mid-air that ended with her kicking the ball of mud back at you.
  167. >On other hoof, you simply lacked any of those amazing reflexes, so not only the mud made a perfect impact on your face, but it came with enough force to send you rolling a few feet away.
  168. >When you took the mud off of your face, Moonlight was already standing in front of you, and she was smirking all the way through, “Good shot, little dude! I like the idea of surprise attack, but you were too slow with the build-up; it made the whole thing to be super easy to read.”
  169. “That was just the warm-up! Let’s see how you handle this!”
  170. >You could hear the filly giving the weirdest laughter you’ve ever heard, “Kekeke! And I thought you couldn’t be any dumber! This is going to be your funeral!”
  171. >When you turned around, that girl slid her hoof across her throat and eagerly sat down with a huge smile drawn on her face.
  172. >Not wanting to deal with that annoying snot-face, you simply stuck your tongue at her before focusing on what was important: Hoaxing frickin’ Moonlight.
  173. “RAAAAAARGH!”
  174. >After that mighty war-cry, you charged at Moonlight in a zig-zag pattern; adrenaline was pumping through your veins as your eyes were set on your target
  175.  
  176.  
  177. >Meanwhile, Moonlight simply stood there, not really affected by your incoming attack, “Alright, if you want it to be that way then be my guest.”
  178. >This was when your master plan came into action, instead of finishing that attack, you instead used the momentum of your charge to slide underneath Moonlight.
  179. >This, of course, was another one tried and true tactic to avoid patrols and any pony who had ever discovered one of your scams.
  180. >And just like the last plan, this one ended in complete and utter failure…
  181. >Your brain couldn’t even begin to compute how Moonlight could turn around so fast, but somehow she managed to not only do that, but to also step on your tail.
  182. >While Moonlight looked calm, relaxed and amused, her grasp was tight enough to prevent you from getting back on your hooves, much less trying to gallop away.
  183. “…H-HOW?!”
  184. >“Well, I’m the captain of the Night Guard for a reason” Moonlight said with a small giggle, “This kind of dirty play just doesn’t work with me, little dude. If you don’t believe me; why don’t we take a good look at your hoof? You were about to try throwing mud at me again, weren’t you?”
  185. >A small chill ran down through your spine, Moonlight was right, you already had your hoof buried on the ground and were just waiting for an opening to throw it at her.
  186. >Dang it! You never thought you’d have to do this again, but Moonlight simply gave you no other option! It was time for…!
  187.  
  188. >“Now you’re thinking on biting the end part of your tail off like a wounded coyote, aren’t you?” You were left absolutely speechless, while Moonlight’s let out a sigh, “Look, I’m not going to hurt you, I just want to make it clear that I know every single trick in your book.”
  189. >Well, maybe you can try your other-other plan and talk with Moonlight.
  190. “I-I think the message was kinda obvious… uh… If you’re not gonna kick my teeth in... Can I get my tail back then?”
  191. >“Didn’t you hear that I’m not going to hurt you?” Moonlight rolled her eyes and chuckled before taking her hoof off your tail, “There you go, little dude, and don’t even think on sucker bucking me, alright?”
  192. “What?! Pfft! C’mon! I ain’t that cheap!”
  193. >Moonlight only response was to raise an eyebrow as she gave you a stern look.
  194. “Okay, maybe I am… dang, lady! You’re a tough cookie!”
  195. >“Comes with the job” Moonlight said with pride as she gave you a wink, “But you’re not too bad either, Resonance. You just need a lot of polish, maybe I can help with that.”
  196. “That would be… Hey! Hold on, there! How the heck do you know my name?!”
  197. >“That dumb colt’s right!” The filly finally intervened by walking to Moonlight’s side and narrowing her eyes “Mom, what’s going on?”
  198. >“Oh, honey! I’ve no idea why you’re so surprised! Moonlight grinned at the two of you and shrugged, “I mean, it’s my job to know the new prince’s name”
  199.  
  200. >Moonlight then pushed the filly awfully close to you before saying with a playful tone, “Resonance, I want you to meet my daughter: Cherrywood Bellemare. Cherrywood, I want you to meet Resonance, Princess Luna and Celestia’s son”
  201. >Cherrywood looked at Moonlight and then at you with a mix of mistrust and disbelief before pointing at you with her hoof, “That dumb face is Luna’s son?!”
  202. >While it was nice to know the name of that crazy girl was stupidly funny, you had more stuff to worry about, for example:
  203. “I’m a prince?!”
