I wake to an unusual warmth and light. I open my eyes to a new dawn, remembering how much I missed the sun before my armor. "A thousand years..." whispers a majestic voice. I turn to see Celestia standing over me and Luna. "Welcome back, Sister." Of course. I look to my left, away from Celestia, and notice a dark wingtip-
"Oh, Makers!" I cry before I can stop myself, feeling myself redden. Celestia chuckles while Luna shifts but doesn't wake. I tone down as I struggle to speak. "Er... It's..."
"Shh..." she interrupts with a radiant smile. "I understand, Dage." Makers! "And I approve solemnly." Oh n- wait, really? "You have given her the love she desired. I was unable to do that, or have the time, patience or will to deal with her." I look at her doubtfully, not trusting my voice. "Welcome to your new dawn, Dage." She nods to the slowly-rising sun and I realize that my trap for her failed as well; she had come back shortly after activating it and had watched everything.
"But..." I add, hesitating for a moment. "I have committed capital crimes..."
"And you did your time before doing them." I turn to Luna as she stirs.
"Sister?" she asks, raising her head and looking at me. "Oh." She blinks and blushes, pulling back the wing that is/was covering me. "Right. I never got your name?"
"Dage," I answer, becoming hot again as I look over her at Celestia.
She looks, too. "Sister!" She jumps to her hooves in surprise, turning to her before wrapping her in a hug. "I am so sorry."
"As am I for not being what you needed."
"You did what you could." Luna let's go of her sister and looks at the sun as it continues its slow rise. "A new dawn for a new stage in life." She turns to me. "For both of us." She smiles, making my heart skip another beat. I manage to smile back, which just elicits a mare-ish giggle from her. Things look promising.
