Luna sighed as she finished her story on the fight with Sombra. She turned her head to Twilight with a sad looking smile on her face.
"And that is the story. After that encounter I began to fall. It was such a simple thing and yet it consumed me. The thing that truly secured my fall was my false belief that I had no one but myself." She said somberly. She rose off the floor and walked to the balcony into the brisk night air. She beckoned for Twilight to follow. Twilight obeyed and sat next to Luna a small shiver running over her as she looked at the sky.
"Your night's have been more and more beautiful and complex I noticed. A lot of astronomers are having fits over how much they have to do each night. Never seen them so excited. So many ponies are overjoyed to have the Princess of the Night back. I hope you understand that you are never alone anymore. I imagine losing my friends and what that would feel like and I can start to see where your point of view was back then. I don't think I will ever understand it without experiencing it though." Twilight said reassuringly.
"I hope you never understand it Twilight. That mindset is a poison. A disease. And sadly those doubts never go away. Even now they crop up and taint my thoughts. But remembering those close to me and reminding myself often of how much I am truly appreciated helps keep them from consuming me. There will be times where it is difficult but knowing I have people close to help during those times gives me hope for the future." Luna spoke with conviction as she wrapped Twilight in a wing and watched her night. She could see ponies running around Canterlot. She had yet to visit the so called "Night Clubs" but she heard they opened only at night and were places of much celebration and dancing. Luna smiled as she let the knowledge of how many ponies she had close to her comfort her.
