MOON, GUIDE MY DREAMS
Chapter 1: Garden of Shadows
Written by Zak Kayes and Kathrine Hawkins

Sunlight filtered through the small part between the curtains, casting down directly on Shining Armor’s eyes. He grunted, raising a hand to shield his eyes briefly before groaning. Once he was awake, he was awake, so he didn’t bother trying to roll back over, just giving in and yawning. As he moved to stretch, he realized one of his arms was pinned down by someone’s weight. He looked over towards his bedmate, and blinked for a moment when he saw a dark blue, flowing mane that glistened like stars.

Princess Luna was sound asleep on top of him.

Shining stared at her for several minutes as memories of the previous night began returning to him. He smiled softly, gently petting her hair with his hand affectionately. She really was beautiful, and she was very special to him by now. However, the longer he looked at her, the more guilty he felt. This whole thing had been going on for a while now, but it had taken this for him to realize that this was quite possibly the worst mistake he had ever made in his life…

After all… he wasn’t a single stallion.

~!~3 WEEKS EARLIER~!~

With the way things were going for Shining Armor, he had desperately needed a change of scenery. Waking up in the bed of a lovely princess and managing an entire kingdom was a dream come true for him. His childhood sweetheart in one hoof, a Prince to a kingdom, the Crystal Empire no less, in the other...there was all the makings of a position nearly half of Equestria would kill for. Was though, being the operative word.

The familiar white stallion sat on the navy blue pillows of the Crystal Express, wandering eyes gazing out to the sights that seemed to quickly pass them by. Time just...went too fast. And so, in the limited time he had, he’d often daydream. His managing position would often keep him up into the late hours of the night and with people constantly tugging and harassing on him, it had been awhile since he had gotten a form of sleep longer than 5 or 6 hours. He had tried to remain awake during his wife’s long storytelling sessions but even still, the unicorn prince had found himself slowly drifting…

“Shining Armor? Are you even listening to me?”

The snippy tone of his wife made him open his eyes and turn to fully look at her. “Hm? Sorry?” was all he could manage. “Umm, yeah. We can go with the buttercream this time for the cake.”

Cadence frowned. “You weren’t listening at all!” she snapped. “We decided that hours ago!! UGH!! I swear, Shining!!!”

The only thing that seemed to bother Shining Armor was his wife being angry at him. Changelings and shadowy tyrannical unicorns were nothing compared to Princess Mi Amore Cadenza’s displeasure.

“Sorry.” sighed Shining. “I thought I could maybe sneak an hour or two of sleep in before we get to Canterlot. It’s a 9 hour train ride anyway, right?”

“Well you’re not the only one who’s lacking sleep, you know,” she reminded him, her tone highly irritated. “But we have things we need to figure out before we get there. I was trying to figure out which topics to discuss with Celestia, Luna, and Twilight on the first day, and you need to pay attention! You’re just as much a part of this meet as the rest of us, Prince Shining Armor! We’ll have the entire night to sleep for once. Isn’t that why we decided to not have this summit at the Empire?”

“I thought it was mostly so we could get out of the Empire and see some old faces?” he asked curiously. “It’s been months since we’ve seen the others and well, we could--”

Cadence sighed and Shining almost immediately stopped in mid sentence. “Okay, yes, that too, but still. One thing I am looking forward to is a full night’s sleep. Between running the Empire and trying to be a good wife, I’m a very exhausted mare, you know?”

He reached out and took her hand in his and tried giving a comforting smile. “I know. You’re a great wife. We’re both trying everything we can to keep those people happy but maybe we can use these weeks to just, I don’t know, relax?”

“This is still a summit, Shining. We both still have responsibilities to fulfill,” Cadence responded, barely even acknowledging his affectionate gesture.

Shining blinked briefly and then leaned back in his chair, quickly hiding his disappointment with an almost forced chuckle. “Right, right, I know.” Clearly I know what's on her mind 24/7…

Cadence nodded, giving him an approving look. “Anyway, what I was saying before…”

She returned to discussing the political topics that were to be the focus of their first meeting, and Shining sighed internally. Lately, Cadence had been about little more than her work, about being a ruler. The Princess of Love seemed rather blind to any loving gestures or words he showed, and it was extremely frustrating. There had even been times recently where he wondered why he had married her...

“...Cadence?” he asked briefly, a thought occurring to him.

“Yes?” she responded, looking at him.

“Why are we taking the Crystal Express?” he asked. “I thought we would take the Ponyville Express? We didn’t need to take our private train, right?”

Cadence gave him a surprised look. “You… don’t wish to spend our trip alone together? That was why we took our private train, wasn’t it?”

Oh dear… “No no, I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just we always take that one train, I figured we’d give our umm...conductors a rest? It’d be nice to just socialize with others again that AREN’T whining and begging for things to be the way they want.”

Cadence frowned. “You know, you could just tell me directly that you would prefer to spend time with others over your wife. It’s not like I couldn’t take it. I just thought it would be nice for it to be just us for a while. But if that’s what you prefer, then by all means.” Cadence stood up and started walking away from him, looking hurt and angry.

“Cadence I--” The banging door silenced him before he could finish and he sighed, looking out the window. “...I meant that we don’t have to keep living like royalty and maybe show we’re not like everyone else there…”

I know how you feel…

Shining jolted slightly and looked around, standing up from his seat and looking down the aisle. Not a soul to be seen yet it sounded, the voice, like it was right in his ear. He kept looking around briefly and sat down, debating on whether or not he should have gone after Cadence. She was known to be blind on certain views and he had often hinted that he’d prefer not to be treated like royalty but somehow it seemed counter intuitive. So he had said nothing. Getting up, he decided to go and look for her.

~!~A FEW HOURS LATER~!~

Shining smiled as the train pulled into the station. It had been a long time coming, but he was finally back in his hometown, and even more, he was going to get to see Twily. As the doors opened and he and Cadence stepped out, he was instantly smothered in a tight hug from said little sister, who herself was grinning broadly.

“BBBFF!! Cadence!!! I’m so happy to see you two!” she said excitedly, moving from hugging her brother to hugging her sister-in-law, who returned the hug with great enthusiasm.

“It’s great to see you too Twilight!” Cadence replied, giggling at her child-like enthusiasm.

“Glad to see you Twily,” Shining said, chuckling as well. “How’ve you been?”

“I’ve been good,” Twilight responded. “What about you two?”

“We’ve been great!” Cadence answered before Shining could. “I have so much to tell you, and I want to hear all about what you’ve been doing too! You want to get some coffee and catch up?”

“Yeah, that would be great!” Twi replied cheerfully. She looked at Shining. “You coming Shining?”

“Oh don’t worry, he knows girls need girl time,” Cadence said, preventing him from answering again.

“Well I--”

Before he could finish, Cadence took to the skies and almost dragged Twilight away by her wing. They moved too fast for him and she had just left him there…with all of their luggage...far from the palace. He grumbled quietly, grinding his hoof into the sturdy wood floor before sighing.

“...3 guesses why she’s angry.”

A couple of hours saw Shining getting himself and the luggage to the palace and spending the rest of the time wandering around aimlessly. It was good to be home again, but somehow he just felt… lost. With Cadence having taken the first chance she could to ditch him and dragging Twily along for the ride, Shining was pretty much left to his own devices, and he was unhappy enough that sleeping was out of the question. Eventually, he found his way to the gardens and sat under a large tree, watching at the moon was raised into the sky. He smiled. He had always enjoyed looking at the moon and the stars. It had become something of a comfort in the Crystal Empire whenever something like what had happened today occurred. Relaxing a bit, Shining leaned against the tree trunk, one hand idly plucking at stray strands of grass in his boredom. Out of his uniform, he had donned a simple blue sweatshirt with black stars on the back as well as skinny jeans and white sneakers.

“Somehow the moon looks so much closer and alluring here.” he mused to himself. “They don’t look so far away. I could pluck one of those stars out if I wanted.” A chuckle rumbled quietly in his throat and he sighed in content. “...I should get out more. More often with walks. I need to keep up this physique somehow. What I wouldn’t give to just...move back here. This place feels more like home than anything. No carrying a kingdom on my shoulder, no burdens that drain me to the point of no sleep...sleep sounds so good right about now…”

“Perhaps I can help?” said a voice. Shining looked up in surprise. Princess Luna was standing right next to him, looking concerned.

“Princess Luna.” said Shining, almost immediately standing up and saluting, finding himself standing at attention. It was an instinct but one that he knew he had to do.

Luna smiled and shook her head. “Relax my friend. We are on equal footing, are we not? You do not need to salute me in such a manner, Prince.”

“Shining.” he started. “Please. I have enough people referring to me as Prince back home. If that’s alright? If we’re on equal footing, a first name basis is a little more casual...Luna.”

“I would like that,” Luna agreed. “But enough of that. You seem very troubled. What’s on your mind, Shining?”

Shining chuckled quietly. “Oh if I could get it all out in one go, I’d probably bore you. I’m here for a summit with Cadence and so far, I’ve kinda just been wandering. Catching up with old friends, browsing the new shops, I haven't been here in ages and they still remember me from when I was little. Most of them at least. I seem to be the only one that wants to be here for not JUST business, you know?”

“I see,” Luna replied. “Well, if it helps, I understand, and I agree. There should be more to this summit than simple politics.”

“...to tell you the truth, I’m terrible with politics.” he said with a light sigh. “I just wanted to join the royal guard, help others, fight invading forces...not sit in a chair and discuss taxes, formal arrangements, and treaties that mostly fly over my head. Clearly I know where the brains in my family went to.”

“That is unfair to yourself, Shining,” Luna protested. “Your focus simply lay elsewhere. I am much the same. My sister has the mind for political affairs. I was always far more inclined towards artistry, which is the reason I have always been very proud of my night sky. We have in common that we can be leaders when need be, but neither of us enjoys the drier aspects of that role.”

With a wave of his hand in agreement, Shining finally had a more confident grin.“Exactly! Finally, someone who gets it. It would be nice if there were less drier issues for me. It would make things around home a little more uhh...interesting.”

“Interesting? Such as?” Luna asked, curious to hear what he would prefer to handle.

“It’s more like lack of interesting,” mumbled Shining.

Luna blushed as she realized what he was referring to, looking down at the ground. “I… I see,” she said quietly.

“I mean I don’t want to talk about her behind my back.” said the stallion, shaking his head. “I don’t want to come off as complaining or whining. But just, in general, things haven’t been what I expected.” He looked to Luna. “...you won’t tell anyone

“Of course not,” Luna promised. “I would never betray you like that, Shining.”

He nodded. “Okay. Everything before we got married was great. Vacations, sightseeing, going to places we had never gone, it was like a normal life. But then after and when she became the ‘Sovereign’ as the Crystal Ponies call her...she just started to focus more on the political parts. For example, she was never tired. She was always upbeat and energetic in...well a lot of ways. She’d almost wear ME out but now, it’s always ‘Oh I’m tired’ or ‘I have things to do.’ and stuff. Even with this summit, I just suggested we do relaxing since we’re gonna be here for 3 weeks and she got offended yet...the moment she got off the train, she just ditched me for Twilight. She just left me with our luggage miles away from the hotel. I only packed one suitcase and she packed like what, three? I just...is it me? Did I do something wrong?”

“I sincerely doubt it’s you,” Luna assured him. “You have always been a courteous, considerate, affectionate stallion. In the entire time I’ve known you, you have always shown Cadence tremendous love and attention. I cannot fathom how you could have done something wrong.”

He looked to her and decided to walk over to her, stopping in front of her. “You barely know me though. We only spoke once and that was at my wedding. It’s funny though...I don’t know why I speak with you or Celestia on a daily basis. It’s certainly not because I don’t like either of you, I do. But...ugh!” He turned and ran his fingers through his mane. “...I wanted to come here to hopefully ride these three weeks and already I’m stressed out. Badly.”

“...that is fairly obvious,” Luna said quietly. “Listen, the summit will not take the entire time, that is a promise. Not even Celestia could tolerate a solid three weeks of discussions. You can always use the time in between to relax and rejuvenate yourself, correct?”

“Hopefully yes.” nodded the prince. “...I hear the spas here are good. I’m sure things will get better, I’m usually optimistic but...this time I’m not sure. I’ve barely been able to sleep and I need it badly but my body isn’t letting me. And I want to let off stress but the only powerful way I know is...well…”

“Well, at least let me aid you with the sleep at least,” Luna said, her horn glowing softly.

Shining shook his head. “Luna, I couldn’t impose on you like that.”

“It is a simple spell that will make sleep come easier to you,” she assured him. “It is no bother. You should have restful sleep at very least, and I can aid you with that. Please let me?”

Though he didn’t realize it, he was actually blushing that Luna, a mare that he had admired for quite sometime, would offer to help him despite barely knowing him. He didn’t want to be rude and say no yet he found himself reluctant. Her eyes on the other hand were having a not-so-hard time convincing him that rejecting a gracious offer would not be the wisest decision. So he nodded and took her hand in his, smiling to her.

“I don’t think I should pass that up.” he said, bringing the back of her hand up to kiss gently. “...will I see you again?”

Blushing herself, Luna nodded. “I should think so. You are here for three weeks after all,” she replied. “Now relax, and close your eyes. This will not send you straight to sleep, but when you do lay down to rest for the evening you will find it far easier to sleep.” A soft blue aura wrapped around Shining, soothing him greatly and making him relax a lot more than he had for a long time.

And he was right to not say a word in protest. Simply nodding, he nodded towards her. “Same time tomorrow, here.” He turned and lightly waved towards her before going towards the exit of the garden, pausing briefly and looking at her. “...it’s a beautiful garden by the way. What is it called?”

“My Garden of Shadows,” Luna answered with a smile. “Sleep well Shining. I shall meet you here tomorrow night.”

With that, Shining headed immediately towards his room. He knew the way and it wasn’t very far. Through the hallways and up the staircases, Celestia was nice enough to let them have a royal guest room and full range of the area. Since he was STILL the captain of the royal guard, it would have made sense for him to still be allowed around. Once he entered the room, he almost immediately went for the bed and Shining Armor had fallen asleep before he had even landed on the bed sheets.

He awoke though sometime later to the smell of something different. He could feel grass against his face and hands and the smell of cedar wood, the same wood that grew deep in the forest nearby Canterlot. He remained quiet, the sounds of crickets and fireflies buzzing through the ear making his ear twitch. Eventually opening his eyes, he slowly stood up and looked around. Though it was dark, it hadn’t become pitch black. As he looked around, he noticed the moon shining overhead, casting its glow down upon him, then slowly moving away. The circle on the ground moved slowly and even stopped. It was as if the circle itself was waiting for Shining to follow. Curiosity had always gotten the better of him and tonight was no exception. He followed the circle, being careful to not touch anything or bump into the trees. Eventually he made his way into a clearing by a lake and the circle stopped just in front of a figure.

“You’re running a little late, Shining,” the figure said.

“Late?” he could have sworn his voice went up an octave but he cleared his throat and shook his head. “L-late for what, exactly?”

“Well, this was your idea, was it not?” she said. “You said you wish to relax, so we are here to relax.”

His mind momentarily blanked but he nodded, walking over towards her and stopping, looking towards the lake behind them. It looked clean, far clearer than any water he had ever seen. And with the moonlight reflecting off of it, it put both of them in a heavenly light, almost angelic. He looked into her eyes, noticing her attire afterwards.

“...you look beautiful.” he commented, giving her a genuine smile. “Am I dreaming?”

The woman giggled. “That I will leave up to you,” she said mysteriously, turning around to face him fully. It was Luna, and she was wearing a silky, robe-like garment, completely lacking her royal adornments.

“Luna what...are…” it dawned on Shining Armor eventually that with such a dazzling robe...there was little to nothing underneath. “...I KNOW I must be dream--”

A slender finger pressed against his lips, shushing him. “We are here to relax, are we not? To enjoy aspects of life other than responsibilities and political requirements. Rather than think too heavily, let us do exactly that,” she whispered.

Shining fell silent at first but eventually nodded. “...how would you propose we enjoy this night?”

Rather than verbally answer, Luna smiled and turned towards the water’s edge, tugging on the edge of her garb and letting it slide off her body. Her gorgeous figure was silhouetted against the moonlight, making her seem to glow like an enchantress. She stepped into the water slowly, letting herself adjust to the water, and strode out into the water up to her waist with a content sigh.

Shining stared in astonishment. To see Luna act in such a way with little to no reservation was… enticing to say the least. Cadence had never EVER been like this with Shining. Not even with their first time. He couldn’t recall a time where any mare had been this enticing. And thinking straight was certainly not on his mind either. With a smile of his own, he shed his own clothes and stepped into the water as well, finding that is was not cold as he had expected, but was instead a comfortable temperature. He swam out into the water, feeling his tension slowly start to melt away at the waist deep point.

“Where are we, exactly?” questioned Shining. “I don’t think I’ve ever been here before. The water feels amazing. YOU look amazing.”

“Thank you, dear Shining,” she said, swimming towards him. “You are stunning as well. So fit and attractive… I truly admire you and your physique.”

He nodded, slowly moving his hands out of the water to run the clear water through his mane, spiking it up while he inadvertently flexed his muscles towards her, each muscle rippling against the moonlight.

“Ah this?” he smiled. “Well...it comes from years of guard training and preparation. Jogging and lifting helps keep this in check. Last thing I want is to lose it all, you know?”

“It pays well,” Luna complimented. “I fail to understand how Cadence could possibly resist this. I am having difficulty restraining myself as it stands.”

He chuckled lightly, rubbing the back of his head. “Speak for yourself…”

“What do you mean?” she asked. “I am being serious.”

“I would choose your words as my own to describe you..” he said quietly, observing her. “But I know I shouldn’t. Even in a dream. I’m married, I…”

Luna swam up behind him and wrapped her arms around him, her body pressing against his back. “You do not deserve to be trapped in such stressful misery, yet you still remain a loyal, loving husband. You are a rare gem, Shining Armor.” She laid a soft kiss on his shoulder. “I would love to take your stress away from you…”

His blush returned and he froze, trying not to make a move but feeling her close to him, it felt comfortable. As wrong as it felt, he couldn’t help but let her stay close.

“I would let you. The only way I know how is the way she won't give to me.” he said with a sigh, rubbing his arm. “When I’m all pent up, I get very...irritated. As weird as it sounds, sometimes its the only way I can relax.” And so he turned around, looking towards her. “...does it feel awkward to ask?”

“Not at all,” Luna assured him. “I did just offer, after all.”

Whether it was a dream or not...it was an offer that Shining Armor would not pass up. Turning around, he wrapped his arms around her bare waist and pulled her into a deep kiss, savoring the feel of her body against his. Luna returned the kiss with surprising passion, her hands gently gliding along his well-formed chest, teasing him enticingly. Neither of them were sinking, they could feel themselves floating in the water and neither seemed to complain as they pressed close together. Once he broke it off, he looked deeply into her orbs and took the time to admire them up close.

“...I’m going to be in so much trouble..” said Shining quietly.

“Only if either of us speaks of it,” Luna whispered, moving down to nibble at his neck.

He was going to protest but the neck...oh sweet Celestia, the neck. if there was ever a way to get his attention, it was there. He let out a faint gasp and his hands almost instinctively went to her rear to cup in his hand, giving it a squeeze. ...I just squeezed Luna’s ass, what is wrong with me?

Luna moaned quietly, licking along his neck and collarbone, pulling him towards the shore. “Shining, please… let me alleviate your stress,” she purred.

There wasn’t any magic here. Shining was almost completely under her control and gladly obeyed, moving backwards till he rested against the shore. Luna lay on top of him, her majestic wings unfurling, adding to the mystical beauty she was already exuding. She kissed him again, her hands now ghosting along his skin in the faintest, most teasing touch imaginable. Shining shivered from her attentions, all traces of guilt melting away. He needed this. He needed it down to his very core. Embracing her and pulling her closer, he allowed his own hands to explore the fine curves of her body. The wandered lower and lower, coming to rest on her rear again, and unable to resist, he squeezed for the second time, earning another moan from her.

Breaking their kiss, Luna nibbled her way down his neck to his chest, where she began kissing and licking. She lavished his torso with attention, determined to make him feel as good as possible. Smiling when she heard him murr softly, she continued to kiss along his chest while letting a hand wander lower, down beyond his stomach to in between his legs.

Shining jumped a little when her fingers brushed him. Even though he had known where it was leading, the feeling of her touching him so intimately still managed to catch him off guard, and also managed to rouse his feelings of guilt again. He was married. He was the Prince of the Crystal Empire and thus supposed to be an example for others to follow. He wasn’t supposed to be giving in to his desires like this. Yet when Luna gave her a confident “come and claim me” look...there was no holding back. Every man had an edge they said they wouldn’t go over. Shining had gone far over it. And he didn’t care how long he would fall.

“...I need you more than I’ve ever needed anyone…” he said quietly, practically begging. “Please. I WANT you, Luna.”

Luna smiled reassuringly at him and rolled to the side, laying on the shore, her hands resting by her face. She was the very picture of vulnerability, and it turned Shining on more than he cared to admit. “I am yours to do with as you desire,” she whispered, her confidence never wavering.

He grinned, slowly rolling over and planting his hands side by side by her face. He smiled down at her and slowly grinded his throbbing erection right up against her dripping wetness. He was ready to take out all the stress he had felt up upon her but...for some reason, he was still hesitating. Her moans, goodness those moans...they were unlike any he had ever heard. He smirked, leaning down to her ear and giving a light nibble upon the lobe.

“You want this just as bad as me, don’t you?”

Luna shivered and nodded. “Yes, I do. I want this. I want you,” she replied, her tone sounding slightly anxious.

No more wasting time. He positioned himself just right and suddenly moved his length up against her clit. He slid himself straight inside, finding the hole warm and inviting and he aon instinct started moving back and forth quickly to try and loosen her up. This was too good to be true and with every thrust, moans escaped his throat. Moans he had held in for a long time. And Luna’s moans were music to his ears. He worked firmly at first to get out the stress but once the stress had vanished, then he slowed down. He was having intimate relations with Luna. LUNA.

The princess wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him in even further, her moans and whimpers increasing in volume. She was very clearly loving every moment of if. His hands wandered along her figure up to her breasts. He leaned his body over, hunching to let his hands grope along her exquisite chest. Even his tongue went down to explore, hips moving skillfully back and forth as he could feel himself sink down inside. He let out a loud moan, now buried deeply inside her and he panted, his legs twitching in excitement.

“Shining… Oh Shining!!” Luna moaned, arching into his motions. “P-Please… please more!”

“Gladly.” he murred. “I want to make this memorable…”

With her still comfortably on her back, he hooked his arms underneath her legs and held them up so he could scooch on his knees, sitting on them and proceeding to thrust slowly, working himself into a controlled state of pleasure. He wasn’t wanting to lose it all right here. So he paced himself. Hands wandered on her body, finding appropriate places to fondle and caress. When a moan was heard, he found a spot. And her neck just so happened to be the one that set her off the most. A close second was by her ear but he didn’t care. Very soon he increased the pace and his force gradually moved up to create the sound of skin slapping skin, a pleasant sound for those accustomed to sex.

Luna was virtually a puddle of pleasure by then, almost helpless to do anything but whimper and moan. With what little control she had, she wrapped her arms around him and clung tightly. With his mouth busily exploring her skin, his horn wandered close to her mouth, and on impulse, she ran her tongue along it, sending powerful sensations through Shining’s body. Smiling at his shiver, she wrapped her lips around his horn and suckled it lightly, teasing the end of it with her tongue.

He hadn’t felt quite a feeling like that in a long time and he found himself locked in a pleasure loop. Working up into her a little harder, he was determined to drive her crazy with strong and loving thrusts. He was showing her genuine affection when he kissed her. It was genuine with his caresses and movements. He was so lost in the pleasure, he felt it spike when he finally orgasmed, but the adrenaline kept him on going inside. It was only until Luna grabbed his shoulder and made him slow down did he finally do so.

Luna cried out upon feeling him release within her, the sensation sending her over the edge as well. She whimpered, chanting his name repeatedly as he continued to thrust into her. Finally, she came down from her intense high, panting heavily. Slightly dazed, she pulled him into another kiss, this one gentle and loving.

“You are wonderful, Shining,” she whispered adoringly, smiling at him and softly stroking his cheek.

“As are you..” he whispered, panting and closing his eyes. He had actually broken a sweat and he refused to pull out. “T-that is--” Luna kissed him again, silencing any further words he had. Shining relaxed into the kiss, no longer caring to think.

A short distance away from where they lay, hidden within a stand of trees, the Princess of the Night watched Shining Armor’s dream in complete shock. Her intent had simply been to make sure he was indeed sleeping well, and it had been much to her surprise that he had been dreaming of her of all people. What’s more, he had been dreaming very intimately of her. Luna blushed brightly. She had not realized that Shining was just as attracted to her as she was to him. She had kept it to herself since he was already spoken for, but this… this opened up an entirely new set of possibilities. She smiled to herself. This was perhaps one of the least moral ideas she’d ever had, but this dream seemed to have helped him relax greatly. So, for both the sake of his rest and to fulfill some fantasies of her own, at very least it was worth considering. With a mischievous smirk and a devious plan, Luna departed from Shining’s dream.
