A lot is going through Luna's mind. This family tree project is stressing her out. Part of why is because Luna wants to prove to her teacher that she's not plain jane with a small, boring family history. Luna was able to finish her maternal part because her mother knew a lot about her family history.
"Oi, Luna," Someone called out. Luna looked behind her and saw none other than Ronnie.
"Hey, how've you been?" He asked, sitting next to her.
"Frustrated," Luna groaned.
"I can tell. So what's going on?"
"My family tree, there's a lot to do and I barely know anything about my ancestors, neither does my family," Luna explained, frustrated.
"hm...? Maybe my dad has something," He suggested. Luna was weirded out by what Ronnie said. What could his dad know about Luna's ancestors?
"What could he possibly have?" Luna asked.
"You'd probably be surprised. I bet if you met my dad he would be all over you," Ronnie chuckled.
"is it because I'm cute or something related?" Luna asked. It just seemed like everyone was amazed at how cute she is.
"Probably... Dad is obsessed with the Discord Royal family. He looks up to Retter like a role model and wants to be a great king like him," Ronnie explained.
"He has a lot of books about the guy. If he's not playing the organ then he's probably reading up about him," He added.
"Wait... You said Royal family?" Luna looked at him, surprised.
"Da, why?"
"I... I thought that was supposed to be a secret..." She muttered.
"Well, it pretty much is. I'm probably the only person who knows,"
"Does anybody else know, besides your dad?"
"My mom, Xavier, and Sebastian. I did tell Sasha you were a princess but she didn't believe me... She never believes in anything I say," he muttered the last part.
"I was pretty excited to meet you when I heard you were coming since I would finally meet a descendant of the Great Retter Discord that my dad keeps rambling on about. Gotta say, I wasn't disappointed," He smirked. Luna blushed.
"I expected you to be emo, actually," Ronnie mentioned. Luna slightly chuckled, her face going dark.
(Are you gonna tell him?) Nyx asked. Luna did have an emo/gothic fashion sense. She thought Ronnie knew because she mostly wears red and black.
(No...) Luna replied to Nyx.
"Weird, why would you think that?" Luna awkwardly asked.
"Dunno. Retter was creepy and wore dark colors so I expected you to be the same," Ronnie explained.
Ronnie and Luna walked into a dark, echoey, room. There was a long red carpet reaching the end of the room. There was a huge throne and huge windows behind it. The one in the middle was clear while the others were stained glass.
"Oi, dad. There's someone I want you to meet!" Ronnie announced, his voice echoing throughout the room. There was an eerie silence then a bat flew in front of them and transformed into a person.
"Dad, this is Luna," Ronnie said. His dad was very tall but looked identical to Ronnie only his eyes were a darker grey. His hair was black with a long side-swept bang on his left side while the rest was slicked back and he was wearing a black tailcoat, a black brocade vest, and a white cravat. Vladimir scanned Luna, those red eyes looked familiar.
"The Luna Discord I told you about," Ronnie corrected himself. Vladimir's eyes widened.
"I thought those red eyes were familiar..." He commented.
"It's such an honor to meet a Descendant of King Retter," Vladimir bowed down to Luna. She was taken aback by this. No one ever bowed down to her like she was royalty.
"Um... th-thanks...?" Luna stuttered, her face turning pink.
"Dad, you don't have to bow," Ronnie mentioned. He could see Luna was getting flustered.
"No, I insist. It would be rude of me not to," Vladimir insisted, standing back up.
"What brings you here to the castle, Princess Luna?" he asked. (Princess Luna?) Luna thought, blushing. Her dad and other relatives would call Luna a princess as a nickname but never by the Title Princess Luna.
"I, uh... I wanted to learn more about my family..." Luna stuttered out. Vladimir nodded.
"Of course, follow me," He turned around and led the two into a room where Vladimir kept anything Retter-related locked in.
"Whoa...!" Ronnie exclaimed. There were so many paintings, outfits, treasures. Luna stared at a huge painting of Retter, sitting on a throne. He was wearing mostly black and a red cape. His hair was black as night, his eyes red as blood, he even had the signature eyeliner look.
"Even he wears eyeliner. Why does everyone in your family wear eyeliner? Even your dad wears it?"
"We don't... It's something we're born with," Luna explained. Fun fact: When Luna was born, one of the nurses said. "This baby looks like it's wearing eyeliner!"
"It's a signature Discord look," Vladimir added, walking further into the room.
"I was able to collect everything, except for King Retter's sword of Twilight," Vladimir said. That confused Luna and Ronnie as there were at least 3 swords in the room.
"But I see a sword over there," Ronnie pointed to a corner with a sword.
"That is the sword he used for the Lancelot massacre," Vladimir explained.
"The sword of Twilight is hidden in the Bloodmoon Forest. I was able to locate it, however, when I tried touching it, I nearly passed out as it drained most of my energy... I had to walk back home that day," He added. Vladimir's preferred method of traveling is turning into a bat and flying to his location. After touching the sword, Vladimir couldn't do that. He wasn't even able to float.
"Bloodmoon forest? Oh yeah, I went there once!" Ronnie mentioned. Vladimir didn't look too happy.
"I told you not go in there, Ronnie. It's dangerous,"
"Well, I came home uninjured.
"That's because you didn't go far enough,"
"How dangerous can it be?"
"Considering the amount times I got mauled by at least 3 packs of wolves, it's far too dangerous to go in there alone,"
"Oh..."
"As I was saying... I read more about the sword. It was used multiple times by Retter's descendants, bringing me to the conclusion that only Retter and his descendants can use it, which means you should be able to use it with no problems at all,"
"And if you do, I wish to see it," Vladimir added. Luna can tell that he's a huge fan.
"Okay, I can do that," Luna answered.
At home.
"Hey, Nyx!" Luna called out.
"Ja...?" Nyx stuck her head out the kitchen doorway, sipping on a blackberry soda.
"Whoa, where'd ya find that?" Nyx asked, seeing Luna drag in a giant treasure chest.
"I met Ronnie's dad, turns out he's a huge fan of Retter, he even called me princess Luna and gave me some of Retter's belongings. He felt like it should belong to its rightful owner, he said," Luna explained.
"Wow, Princess Luna. That's sounds good together," Nyx commented. Luna opened the chest. There were many Jewels, weapons, and other artifacts, including some papers. The first thing Luna picked up was a paper, a song.
"It looks like fur Elise," Luna said.
"Fur Elise? That was written by Beethoven back in 1810, what's Retter doing with that?" Nyx asked.
"This one is dated October 27, 1737..." Luna said.
"What? No way! How is that possible?"
"I can only recognize some of it..." Luna commented. She decided to put that down.
"Oh yeah, Ronnie's dad also gave me a map of blood moon Forest, where Retter's sword of Twilight is located," Luna pulled a map from her pocket and unfolded it.
"Well, I think I know what we're doing tonight," Nyx commented.
