‘Ugh, my head,’ I thought as my consciousness returned to me. I groaned at the feeling of a massive headache, my skull feeling too small for my brain. ‘What the hell happened last night?’
My eyes fluttered open, and I looked around, seeing nothing but an eternal expanse of darkness. I wasn't too sure where I was, so I tried to recall the last thing that I could remember. I had been running from… someone but I couldn't remember why, nor what happened when they caught up. It was all a blur.
Suddenly, I felt some sort of strange feeling. Like a wave of consciousness had swept over the darkened area that I inhabited. I know that's a weird description, but it's really the only way I can put it. Anyways, soon a portion of the shadows around me were swept away by a window of light.
The sudden banishment of the blackness fluttered on and off, like blinking eyelids that had just woken up. Soon they remained open, and when I looked into this new light, I was surprised at what I saw.
It was a ceiling. A rather fancy looking one too, like one that you might find in a royal bed chamber. The view was briefly closed off, and a loud yawn echoed all around me. It soon returned however, but now I was looking out into a bedroom instead of a ceiling.
“I suppose it is time to start our day,” a voice said. Wait, why was that voice familiar? Come to think of it, why did this room look familiar? I know for certain that I've never been here, and yet I knew I had seen this bedroom before.
My window into the bedchamber began to move around. It didn't take me long to figure out that this window was showing me a world through someone else's view. But, if that was true then, what was this darkness around me?
“I suppose it is time we raise the moon,” the voice said. Raise the moon? What the heck did that mean? Whoever I was watching the world from walked over to a balcony that had an amazing view over a city that I swear I recognized too. But from what?
The motion of my view stopped, which meant the person stopped, and simply waited. Before long, the sun dipped below the horizon.
“Alright, let us begin.” There was another sudden light behind me. When I turned, I saw an incredibly complex shape begin to take form. It was like a giant work of art, with lines and curves crossing together in beautiful designs. The silver strings of light connected together and formed shapes and angles in such a manner that made it not only seem like an artist’s masterpiece, but also like something that was devised from an incredibly complex equation.
Soon, the lines stopped, and the picture it created was beautiful. It seemed to depict the moon itself, surrounded by countless silver strings. The strings then began to move, causing the moon to shift upwards. Just as it did, the moon in the real world began to rise with it, and soon took its place high in the night sky.
Then, silver dots began to decorate themselves around the picture of the moon, and with each dot that came, a star would appear, matching its placement.
Quite honestly, it was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. Soon, the picture in the darkness faded, but its likeness remained in the night sky.
“There we are,” the voice said. “I believe I've outdone myself tonight.”
With a merry giggle, the person from whom I saw the world through went back into her room. The gears in my mind began to turn at this prospect. Who did I know could raise the moon, and dot the night sky with stars? Who did I know have a room like this, or live in a city like this?
“Lulu? Are you coming for dinner?”
“What is dinner for you dear sister is breakfast for us but yes I will be coming. Just let me freshen up.”
And that's when it hit me. Only one person could control the moon and stars like that. Only one person had a room like this and lived in a city like this. Only one person had the nickname Lulu.
“I best hurry,” she said stepping into the bathroom and standing before a mirror. “My sister was never a night pony.”
And as she stood there, my suspicions were confirmed. As of now, I was inside the mind of Princess Luna, co-ruler of Equestria, and emissary of the moon.
