The moon floated in a starlit sky. It was a quiet, cool night and Canterlot was dim, with only the moon and street lights keeping light in the area. Leaves stirred as a crisp breeze blew across the ground. Animals slept, curled up in their nests, as the ponies of Canterlot snored with their families. Some worked night shifts, waiting for their shift to end so they could finally go back to their families and get some rest. There were some fillies up in their beds, telling ghost stories, while mothers woke to their foal crying loudly.

The castle was filled with guards sleeping away on their shift, propped up on their staffs, snoring slightly. Other than that, it was silent. The two royal sisters were asleep on their beds, one sleeping peacefully as the other tossed and turned, sweat beading down her face. She woke up, her eyes narrow and her breath heavy with shock. Looking around her room, she saw nothing but the cool blue colors. Sighing softly, she pushed her covers and thought about the dream that she just went through.

 She’s having terrible nightmares,  she thought, looking down. She should tell her sister. She looked at the door before nodding to herself and walking towards it. The blue mare looked outside. Her beautiful night was once again being neglected. Though she knew that the ponies that lived in canterlot were dreaming happily in their beds. Sighing, she walked towards her sister’s room. She avoided the sleeping guards, knowing that she should probably wake them.

It was silent in the castle. Though it might scare some ponies, the princess of the night was fine with. The moon was like this, and after one thousand, hearing nothing but the voices swarming around in her mind, she got used to it. She shook away when she reached Celestia’s room. The solar princess’ snoring could be heard outside the door. Luna opened the door, and looked at her sleeping sister. Trotting towards her, she shook her. “Celestia!” she hissed quietly. 

Her sister woke and turned to her sister, eyes wide. “Oh, it’s just you, Luna,” the princess said, looking down. “I thought you would be someone else.”

Nodding softly to her sister, Luna waited for her sister to stand before speaking. “There is something important I must tell you,” she said, keeping her voice down.

The light pink alicorn turned to Luna. “What is it?” she said.

Princess Luna hesitated for moment. Then she quickly shook her head. Her sister needed to know this. “I was in Princess Twilight’s dreams, and I saw something terrible.” Taking a deep breath, she quickly thought the words through thoroughly “She’s been dreaming of our enemies, and I believe she might be dreaming of the future. I saw blood, and heard somepony screaming.” She stopped for a moment, shuddering at the thought of her savior’s dreams.

She felt a hoof softly fall to her shoulder. “You don’t need to tell me anymore. We’ll boost up the security. The Gala is coming up very soon, and I’m sure that if they attack anytime soon, it will be then.” Nodding to her sister, she brushed her mane and gallopped to the throne room quickly.

Luna sighed, and sat. Would they be able to save Equestria, or were they too late already.
