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.
"Hey, this looks kinda cool."
*sees chapter length*
...fuck. I had my hopes up.
Edge Of Thorns - Savatage
1619901 Nightmare Moon is her dark side, the side that is jealous and vengeful. Princess Luna is her usual, good side that is caring and all. In the canon, she is only small after the Elements hit her because all her main powers were taken away, ridding her of her jealousy somehow. If she kept her powers, she would remain her large self like she used to be before she became jealous and grew dark until she became Nightmare Moon.
1619210 Lol, I don't write very long stories naturally. But my current stories, Halo: Equestria and Borderlands: Labyrinthus, along with one I have stopped for now, Fallout: Equestia - Loyalty Lost, are all long due to the fact they are based off of games and I desire to live up to the legacy, Halo with the books and games, Borderlands with both games, especially the second, and Fallout with FO:E by Kkat themselves, which is my favorite story of all time.
1619376 I never understand these random posts that have nothing more than some video that I can never watch due to blocks.

1620675 What?
1621028 ...? That was stupid. Equestria developed much like our own, meaning that prophecies would be a common thing. Since there is magic, they would also be real. But to create something to set the future, it would create a lot of magic. Dage has a ton of power because of the enchated armor, allowing him to pull off the prophecy. Celestia's plan was to use the Elements to take away Princess Luna's powers and cast out the dark side of her known as Nightmare Moon. Dage's is to use his emotions to make Luna realize she is loved and basically rid of the Nightmare Moon side herself. The former is the use of magic, the latter is the use of convincing and all. Think of it as someone who has two sides to them: their good, nice side and their evil hurtful side. One way to get rid of that evil side and have the good side be in control and all is to talk with the person. Another is to have the evil side surgically removed since everything we are is just some part of our brain firing.
1621028 That's also nothing like how Dage would be. Not this Dage, before or after Luna's return. Now, my Dage for my Twitterponies RP is another matter altogether. In fact, it would be very much like him to do say that. Well, he'd be the one talking to himself, honestly. And that's wheat he/I would say for the most part.
1621245 It is explained how he changed and why. And it should be obvious that creating the future with magic is not a simple thing. Hence why it's one of the big things. Also, I am very satisfied with it right now. Come back to me in a year or so.
