Long ago, the land known as Equestria was ruled by the demon known as Discord. Discord kept Equestria in a state of madness and disorder. Despite the chaos, the ponies still made the best of things. Two notable ponies who lived in Equestria during this time were two alicorns named Celestia and Luna, who were both young filly's at this time. Celestia and Luna were the only known alicorn filly's but everypony was still treated as equal. Princess Luna's best friend was a male pegasus named Tenebres. Luna and Tenebres played together a lot. They chased eachother through the land and flew together through the night sky. As time went on, they got closer together. Tenebres hoped that he would marry Luna one day. Unbeknownst to him, Luna had the same desire.

One night, the two stopped under a tree. Tenebres nuzzled Luna's neck and said,

“Luna my darling, understand that I will do anything to protect you, even if it means laying down my own life or standing up to Discord.”

Horrified by the very thought of losing her loved one, Luna said,

“Don't talk that way, dearest. We don't have to worry about Discord. He is not our concern, so we don't have to worry about him. The very thought of him just sickens me.

“Me as well, now let's stop thinking about him,” Tenebres answered.

“Sounds like an excellent idea,” Luna said.

The two ponies then looked up at the night sky. As they gazed, Luna said,

“The stars are beautiful, the way they shine through the night.”

“They really are,” Tenebres responded. He then turned to his love and asked,

“Which one is your favorite?”

Luna thought about it, then she pointed her hoof into the night and answered, “That one right there, directly to the left of the full moon.”

Tenebres looked from Luna to the star and then looked back at Luna.

“Yeah...... very pretty,” he said.

The two ponies then shared a kiss under the starry sky and then went back to their homes.
