The night is very quiet, not a single breeze blew, the moon shines bright over Canterlot. The castle is silent, guards patrol the grounds as usual, a lone guard captain is seen staring into the night sky, as if looking for something. From a balcony another figure can also be seen staring out into the night, a glint shines from the figure. A mare stands on the balcony, her flowing mane and tail matched the night sky with deep blue eyes, soft wings, wearing a small necklace with a dark green emerald attached; the mare in the moon, Princess Luna
Sigh, I can't believe it has been years since you left, she whispered to the emerald. You were always there by my side, watching, protecting. Now you're gone.
She closes her eyes, trying to fight back tears as images flash through her head. A stallion can be seen with a light brown coat, a black mane with a distinctive red stripe, dark green eyes, and a shy smile whenever he's near her. More images are flashed through her mind, from the first day they met, to when he was assigned to her as a personal royal guard, the night at the the Gala, to...
"No," she opens her eyes, "I don't want to remember that."
Luna stares back at the moon with tears in her eyes, the moon shines brighter every year on this very night, a tribute to the stallion that gave his life to protect Princess Luna. The citizen's of Equestria know this moon and it's story very well, they have taken it upon themselves to name this phase of the moon; The Dragon's Moon, in remembrance to Princess Luna's royal guard, Dragon-Heart.
