//------------------------------// // Dear Celestia // Story: Drowning in My Own Nightmare // by Cadence5 //------------------------------// Two hours later she finished writing. Nightmare Moon had magically chained her bed to the wall along with the other furniture in her half of the moon. She was now laying there with her back to Luna. Turning back to her letter, Luna read over what she had written before adding a few more lines to her personal account of what had happened with Nightmare Moon: “Dear Celestia, Do not worry about me, sister, I will see you soon enough. Rule over Equestria without me, for now. Come up with a plan for when Nightmare Moon and I must return. I do not know if I will be able to do anything to help you, I fear I won’t, but we will have to wait and see. Always Your Little Sister, Luna” Luna focused all of her energy on sending the letter to Celestia before curling up on her own bed. She quickly cast a spell to keep herself on her ever floating bed before falling asleep, preparing herself for the next thousand years, trapped in the moon with her worst nightmare. --- Back in Canterlot, a letter appeared before Celestia, whom had locked herself in her room, heartbroken after having to banish her own sister. She read the letter, and as she learned what had really happened with Nightmare Moon, tears began to roll down her cheeks. She had sent her own sister to the moon, trapped with her worst nightmare. Spell after spell, she tried to bring Luna back, but nothing happened. Eventually, she accepted what had happened and curled up on her own bed looking out of the window at the moon. Turning her back on the place of her sister’s banishment, she slowly cried herself into a restless sleep.
