Celestia's sun lowered gracefully to make way for night once more casting shadows among the inheritance of equestria. Luna closed her eyes.
"wish me luck my dear sister."
She knew her older sister could not hear her but it still felt good of Luna to talk to her. After Twilight freed her from her hate with the elements of harmony, raising the moon seemed more of a painful reminder then a privilege.
Luna took a deep breath and stepped out onto a gold trim balcony and began her spell.
Sweat aroused from her brow and her knees began to fail her, but surely, when Luna opened her eyes, the moon was far overhead. This made her stop and wonder about the countless time her dear sister had to bring young Luna's prison to come about the skies.
"I surely shall not dwell on my past errors! Thy sister hath not want me to suffer regret then and i shalt not do so now!"
"I'm happy for you Luna."
Luna hadn't notice her sister walk in, but before she could answer her, she left the room. No doubt to finish up on her royal duties and then turn in for the night...Night, why does it have to be so dark, Luna thought.
She lay upon her bed and once more closed her eyes to start a spell, but not to raise a moo, but to start a dream spell and therefor allowing her to gaze into the dreams of her subjects....It started at her hind hooves and then moved upward, creating a numbness Luna was well familiar with. It worked it's way up her torso and onto her neck and from there to her head until every part of her equine body went limp.
Tingling. Tingling all over. Luna giggled. Giggled! She could move again! The spell had worked. This isn't something to be surprised at but then again she was a thousand years out of practice! Okay, so she can move, but can she see? Luna was a little afraid to find out. She remembered the first time she did the spell as a younger filly. She opened her eyes too early and had a terrible headache. Celestia had to use a healing spell to get her out of the trance. Luna took a deep breath.
"Hi-ah princess!"
Luna opened one and and then the other to be greeted by a familiar face. Gray coat, check! Yellow mane, check! And wall eyes! Check!
"Ah! Derpy! My dear friend! Is there to be and adventure taking place tonight in this realm?"
Luna enjoyed this particular mare's dreams the most, they were full of fun and adventure and besides, Derpy had been most understanding about the whole, nightmare moon thing.
"Sure is princess!"
Luna smiled. Derpy was always so cheerful and easy to talk to. Though sometimes she didn't make the most sense in a conversation, continuing on about some brown stallion in a box or something, and then she insisted on the reality of...Hands, something Luna once heard Lyra speak of.
The night went on and Luna was forced to part with Derpy and check on her other subjects. Other than riding a nightmare from a young orange mare, the night was quite calm and peaceful. Until a familiar voice graced her ear. A stallion. Luna stopped to listen...
" I'll be in in a moment."
Luna came in closer to get a better look, making herself visible to anypony that may be in the area.
Luna spoke in a hushed whisper. "oh my stars!"
