The next hour or so was spent tending to Luna's wounds. She talked to Night who explained that he was keeper of the night. He traveled all around the universe checking up on stars and galaxies, keeping track of new stars that were born out of dust, and old stars which died of age and expanded until they exploded disappearing forever. He explained how the moon was one of over 3000 homes he had set up in the universe for when he needed a night or two to himself.
Luna told him of her experiences with Nightmare Moon and how she was sent to the moon. Night listened to her story as he wrapped her leg. The gash had been deep and landing on the leg hadn't helped. It was still steadily bleeding, red liquid oozing out and down her leg onto the sheets of her bed. To add to it Luna had sprained her ankle when alling and broken her leg a few inches below her hip. She winced as Night cleaned out the cut in her leg for the third time.
From her hoof to her hip her leg was wrapped with a splint against her leg, but it would have to be redone because of the blood that now stained the wrappings. Luna's wing had been wrapped against her side to keep it still while her joints mended themselves and the feathers grew back. The cuts on her shoulders and face had stopped bleeding and only one bandage was across her muzzle where the deepest of these cuts had been.
Nightmare Moon was left to bandage herself which she hadn't done yet as she refused to except anything from Night. Though Luna could see the jealousy in her eyes as she watched him tend to her leg. Eventually Luna's flank stopped bleeding and her leg was re-wrapped.
"I guess I'm lucky you happened to stop by here today," Luna said after Night had laid down next to her.
"Yeah," he replied, "of course I think I'm the lucky one... After all I got to meet you today." He gave Luna a small smile causing her to blush.
Luna had never thought it would be so easy to fall for a stallion before, but even as he spread his wings and said, "I should go. Let you rest." She knew she wanted him to stay.
"You could stay you know," Luna said. "Maybe duplicate the bed or something..." she added trying not to sound too pushy.
"If you're sure...' Night replied. "I wouldn't want to intrude."
"Oh, it's fine. After all, this is your home," Luna stated.
"Alright," Night smiled as he duplicated Luna's bed and laid down. "Goodnight, Luna," he whispered.
"Goodnight, Night," she yawned in reply as she curled up on her bed noticing Nightmare Moon glaring at her from across the room.
