It had been a long day for Twilight, she had spent it with her lover zebra Nyota as he had been trying to teach her zebrakin magic. Twilight had felt a little bad since not being able to master the lessons that Zecora had tried to teach her so she checked every book and looked through every lesson before finally asking Nyota to aid her in her quest to learn even the simplest of zebrakin spells. Nyota sat and explained to her how the magic worked and helping her through the steps as best he could. Twilight practiced and practiced and finally was able to master a simple zebra spell of protection, which quickly died but was a great success. A weary Twilight trotted into the Library, followed by Nyota. He went into her room while she went to take a shower. When she entered the bedroom Nyota was laying on the bed and patted it. Twilight trotted over and climbed in and Nyota pulled her close to him, wrapping his forelegs around the tired purple mare and he kissed her forehead “you did well today. Not many ponies can master zebrakin magics but you were able to get a spell down.” Twilight made a pouting face “but it didn’t stay for a long time. I was barely able to keep the barrier up for a few seconds.” Nyota chuckled and kissed her lips “still more then anypony I know.” Twilight lays her head onto his chest and Nyota holds her close to him. Twilight laid there with her eyes closed, unable to sleep, still feeling unhappy about not being able to grasp the concept of a simple spell. Nyota lay in the dark with his eyes opened, listening to his lovers breathing and smiled faintly, thinking to himself “my poor perfectionist pony, she’s probably not able to sleep trying to think about how she needs to work a little more, but I have something for that.” Nyota takes a deep breath and starts to sing in his native tongue, a lullaby that the elders in his village would sing to the young ones in order to help them sleep “hush sasa kidogo GPPony, kulaza kichwa yako. mama ni hapa kuwafukuza hofu wote. Hush sasa kidogo pundamilia, kutuliza akili yako, nchi ya ndoto ni kusubiri, ni hivi karibuni kwenda kupata. Ukimya asa mtoto wangu, sasa siku yako ni kosa. Hush sasa kidogo, kulaza kichwa yako. moon hapa kuimba na mchana wakakimbia.Twilight listened to the sound of the singing from her lover and felt her mind grow quiet and sleep overtook the tired unicorn and she snuggled up in Nyota’s warm embrace. Nyota slowly stopped singing and smiled “she looks so cute when sleeping.” He gave a little kiss to the top of Twilight’s head and let sleep slowly overtake him as well.
