The Dream

A blood red moon hangs in the sky illuminating an ocean of blood rust and oil. Light fires burn in the background flickering in dance. Alone among the ocean stands Taylor.

“I’m here again Huh? Well at least it’s not a nightmare again.” Taylor mumbles.

Suddenly her radar pings getting a contact. Not a second later a taller figure lands behind Taylor.

“Hi Luna.” Taylor says not even looking at the princess.

“Thou art learning, dream walking well.” Luna says with a smile.

“I have a great teacher.” Taylor says

Luna walks over nuzzling against her student. “Why art thou not smiling? Soon thou shall be able to manipulate the dream.”

“It’s nothing… I got a visit from aunt Cadence. She’s nice however I didn’t want to remember all of that.” Taylor says sitting on top of the ocean.

“We often dislike remembering our time as a villain as well. Have tho told them about thous tutelage yet?” Luna asks

“No, I should probably tell them that you’ve been helping me through most of this already.” Taylor says

“Not many of my ponies remember their dreams or have thous potential for Dream walking. At least thou is not starting with nightmares each night anymore.” Luna says

“They lack the imagination and ingenuity I guess. This is what my second time my dream hasn’t started with a nightmare?” Taylor asks

“Third dear student.” Luna says smiling.

“That’s good I guess.” Taylor says frowning slightly.

“Have thou figured out the secrets of magic yet?” Luna asks

“I actually figured out Pinkie Pies magic!” Taylor says with a bright smile that could only be matched by said mare.

Luna recoils in shock. Before the horror takes over.
“Thou art jesting yes?” Luna asks hopefully.

Taylor tries not to laugh. The laws of physics in this world seem to be a suggestion. Afterall the cloud and water cycle are blatantly ignored. Same with orbital mechanics with alicorns moving the sun and moon. Pinkie saying ‘Gravity works because it is tradition.’ Caused too much of a headache yet it made sense.

“Of course Luna.” Taylor says laughing

Luna breaths a sigh of relief.
“So how is ponyville? We remember our last trip there.” Luna says

“It’s alright, I mean I have been trying to give Twilight a panic attack yet she’s remained calm.” Taylor says flatly

“Your trying to prank your foster mother?” Luna asks

“Hey you actually talked with the modern speech there.” Taylor says smiling at her teacher.

“So we have.” Luna says smugly “now don’t dodge my question.”

“Fine, well you see. I have been handing her books. Right since she’s a book nerd.” Taylor says and Luna nods
“I figured I should start with history so she could see the amount of wars we used to get up to. From there I started giving her books on tactics. Till the weaponry got to advance, so I slipped in a book on how to make deadly weapons. After that I gave her the more modern tactics book.” Taylor says watching Luna.

“We still do not get why this is funny.” Luna says

“Well, I basically gave her a stack of books that would allow her to become unparalleled at war. The final two I slipped in were a book called The Art of War, and a book on intelligence warfare and spy crafting.” Taylor says with a smirk.

Luna starts laughing finally getting it.
“Tia shall be so upset ha! We do not have to worry about these books falling into bad hands do we?”

“Not really, I kept the books on the more advanced and dangerous stuff to myself.” Taylor admits before that depressed aura seems to come back.

“Are you sure about me? I mean I was a monster at the end. You saw it.” Taylor says

“You are not evil.” Luna says shutting down Taylor immediately.

“But” “Dear Student I do not fear the dark. I am princess of the night after all.” Luna says

“But I. You haven’t even seen some of the other stuff Luna.” Taylor says thinking

“Thou are not evil Taylor Fletcher. Thou art endeavoring to improve thy self. And we shall help you.” Luna says

“Thanks Luna.” Taylor says with a genuine smile.

Luna pauses thinking of the words for a second. “You should probably tell your family that you are my student.”

“I will after you tell your sister.” Taylor says with a smile.

“We shall tell her later.” Luna says smiling

Taylor sighs as she feels a hoof get placed on her forehead.

“What?” Taylor asks Luna once again pauses to think of words.

“You’ve already ascended, and immediately afterwards you lost to your nightmare. I’m just trying to get a feel for when your horn will come in. For some reason you seem to not be getting wings. Though I think those constructs you summon are a replacement for them.” Luna says

Several heys and quick discussion among the crew went unheard by the princess of the night.

“Khepri was my nightmare? As for the horn, it’ll probably take a while. Afterall a new retrofit to be able to manipulate the energy in the air here will take time.” Taylor says

Luna mouths out the word retrofit not making much sense of it.

“It’ll take a while to grow in. I don’t think I’ll become an alicorn like you though.” Taylor says

“We are unsure discord has told tales of you controlling the power of the sun.” Luna says

“I can drop the sun on some ponies what about it? I mean it is not unlike Celestia can do the same.” Taylor says smirking



=======================
Over in the everfree.

“Wild magic is so powerful! I just need to steal a bit more than even that twilight sparkle shall not stand a chance! Triek is back! Muwahaha!”

Unknown to the centaur a white rabbit makes it’s top speed towards Fluttershy’s house.

==============================
Over in Canterlot

Celestia is looking over the information warfare book going increasingly pale.

“Your right Shining these mistakes must be amended at once. Afterwords we could implement the new changes. Luckily we shall be able to create a lie detector based on magic and the methods used in this book.” Celestia says

Shining nods in relief knowing Celestia’s entire administration shall need to be vetted before any of the information can be distributed.
