King Sombra was anxious. He was about to meet Princess Celestia. They had made a bet that if any of their warriors would win in a fighting match at the Crystal Empire, they would win a chance to make a few tweaks to the alliance laws between Equestria and the Empire. As Celestia strode in, he was ready to start his most favored game.
"Who is your warrior King,?" asks Celestia.
"I, myself shall fight. Who is your warrior?"answered Sombra bravely.
"My warrior is my sister, Princess Luna," says Celestia proudly as a midnight blue alicorn in silver armor stepped beside her.
"Shall we begin?" asked Luna as Sombra blushed. He would be fighting against his muse, the very soul who inspired his greatest poems.
"Sure."

The match was held in the sports arena. On one side was Princess Luna, on the other King Sombra. As a horn was blown, the two ponies ran into action. Sombra charged ahead lighting his horn, as it sparkled a ruby red, and shot a stun spell at Luna who flew before the spell shot her. Luna shot a fire spell, singing some of Sombra's fur. Sombra summoned ruby stakes and fired as Luna created a shield around herself. Luna shot a meteor shower at Sombra who dashed to escape. Suddenly Luna shot a fire spell which burned Sombra as he shot a fire spell at Luna who fainted in the arena, not long before Sombra.

As Sombra opened his eyes he woke up in the castle's infirmary. Turning his head he saw Luna in a bed beside him waking up.
"Where am I?" she asked looking around.
"Hello Princess." he said startling Luna.
"Sweet moon, you scared me! Why are we here?"
"We both fainted at the match."
"So we basically equaled."
"Yes."
"It was good match. I am Princess Luna."
"I am King Sombra. It is a pleasure to meet you. I wanted to meet you for some time but I was shy."
"Why is that?"
"Well what do you say to your muse?"
"I am your muse? But we never met."
"Your night is my muse. I have written many great poems about your night and I guessed you were just as beautiful and mysterious as it."
"Thank you. You are the first to say that."
"Do you want to meet tonight."
"I would like that." answered Luna as the nurse stepped in.
"You are fine you may leave" said the nurse as they King and Princess left.
"So who won?" asked Celestia.
"It is a tie. So you both make a few changes," answered Luna as she went to raise the moon.
"Maybe another time," yawned Celestia as Sombra went outside to meet Luna.

A few hours later, Sombra was tired. He had been chatting away with the mare of his dreams. They had promised to meet the following night as well and he was eager to see what would happen.
