	Early one morning I was standing at the watch post searching the skies for Celestia. It was almost dawn. She should be raising the sun by now and reliving me of my duty. 

Finally I saw her in the sky followed by the morning sun. I smiled happy to see my older sister.

She landed on the balcony and said “Good Morning dear sister!”

“Good morning” I said back around a yawn. 

“Luna could you do me a favor today?”

“Depends on the favor”

“Could you swing by Ponyville today? Twilight says that there is a new Alicorn in town. They say he came from the forest.  I don’t know where he has come from before that, and would like someone to see him.”

“Fine.  I’ll depart at noon.”

Celestia then flew off and I ducked into my chamber. 

My room was dark. I only had one window and that was covered throughout the day.  The floor had a large painted moon. The walls were covered in constellations. The bed was a rich blue like the night sky, and the pillows were pure white.

I sank back into them with relish. I was very sleepy and not looking forward to getting up at noon and flying all the way to Ponyville.
