//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Luna // by Bob Jet //------------------------------// Sombra was posted on guard duty with Kismet, which made his day far more bearable. Kismet hated guard duty, and had no problem talking with whomever he was posted with. This was forbidden, but Kismet knew when somepony was coming. He could tell when they were within earshot, and would promptly resume the stoic, expressionless stare. It was his special gift. So it was that they were discussing their leisure time from the previous night. “I had the strangest dream last night,” began Kismet, “involving you and Princess Luna.” Sombra cocked an eye at him. “It was more a nightmare, really (no pun intended). I saw you and Luna in a strange kingdom. I do not know where, but it was not Canterlot. She was fighting with herself emotionally. You were providing what support you could, but the sin inside her eventually consumed her. You followed shortly thereafter.” … “Is that it?” Sombra asked “Yeah. I woke up after that.” “What a strange dream.” “It seemed very prophetic.” … “I had a dream about Princess Luna last night, too,” Sombra said. Kismet looked at him. “I dreamt that I was in a field overlooking Canterlot, gazing at the stars. I was trying to find a new constellation and decipher what Luna had in mind for it. I found it and, after a while, realized that it depicted an alicorn hugging a unicorn. Then Luna appeared, and when I told her what I saw, she cried ‘Yes!’ and fell into my hooves.” Now Kismet looked very concerned. “Sombra, my friend,” he said, “You are in grave danger.”
