//------------------------------// // Sun, Moon, Dreams // Story: Drowning in My Own Nightmare // by Cadence5 //------------------------------// Luna awoke at dusk. She slowly crawled out of her bed, and once she was standing she stretched each of her legs. Then she heard the familiar call of ‘Princess, your breakfast is here.’ Two guards came in levitating a tray of toast, coffee, and an apple as Luna placed her crown on her head thanking them with a yawn. She quickly ate before walking to her balcony overlooking Canterlot. Looking to her left she saw Celestia on her own room’s balcony. They nodded to each other before completing their nightly ritual. As Celestia moved the sun further west and out of sight, Luna pulled the moon into view from the east until the moon hung high in the sky with the sun completely hidden beyond the horizon. As Celestia went back into her room to sleep for the night, Luna went into her study. After quickly checking in on everypony’s dreams, she chose ten dreams to visit personally that night. Luna began to conjure the Portal to Dreams and checked on the moon one more time before entering her own sister’s dream. She traveled through other dreams. Some were happy, but others were terrifying: Celestia had dreamt about the night she and Luna lost their parents. As the ponies began to wake up, Luna returned to her balcony to wait for Celestia. She appeared moments later, and the two performed their morning ritual. Luna pushed the moon to the west as Celestia pulled the sun from the east and then returned to her room to sleep for the day.
