	For once the two did not say a word, but they did chuckle for the song that they heard. With this land now checked from their list, they took back to the sky, all sounds to be dismissed. Tinsel took point, trailing ahead of the verdant doe, leading the two to a castle with a glow.

With a little glance back, she made a small, warm smile across her dark face. "Rest well, mine dear sister... As thee used to wish thy own restful slumber..." she whispered partly to herself.


Silent Night
By: Celestia
Performed: Luna



Silent night, all of this night,
Darkness entwine, tucked in tight,
Sweet an' gentle kin of mine,
For you the stars all align,
Slumber in your lasting peace,

Dream ye' now, light of lights,
My love for you outstretches this land,
Lords and Ladies will praise thy name,
Lun', the princess is born,
Celestia, my cherished one.
