Millions of years in the future, Celestia and Luna watch over a dying world. Its surface is a cracked, barren wasteland, baked by a dying sun. The ocean is a caustic soup, choked with salt. Few creatures can survive this hellish future, and even their days are limited.

The Moon. An airless, lifeless ball of rock and dust.

For over a century, Luna has been trapped on this floating dustball, trying in vain to keep herself occupied. Bored and lonely, she desperately needs a companion. Any kind will do. She's not in the mood to be picky. But when the nearest living thing is hundreds of thousands of miles away, that's a bit of a challenge.
