Luna stared down at the little rock. Her brow furrowed as she forced her senses into it, her magic flaring so bright that she created shadows where there had been none.

It was these in-between moments that hurt. When the Nightmare was upon her, she knew nothing but rage and her pain disappeared; when it burned itself out, as all anger must, everything else returned. Then the knowledge of what she had lost came to haunt her, and it was made worse by knowing that, whilst lost, it was not yet gone. It was made worse by knowing, no matter how much the absence hurt, there could be no relief, and the worst stage was yet to come.

She pushed harder, forcing her will towards the little dark rock. Her head throbbed. Her nose felt like it would burst all of its vessels. Still, she pushed harder, in desperation.

Finally, she felt it. A longing stretching out to her. She caught on to that mind -- the one which dreamed towards the moon. Her little Moonbright. Into the dream she slipped, into her familiar place. Her little fillyfriend looked up at her, so full of contentment. The forgetfulness of a dream could do that, could wipe away the cares of years and make it as if those years had not passed.

Luna nuzzled the little filly. Tonight, she would not dwell on how she would never be near Moonbright again. Tonight, she could not dwell on the ages grinding on mercilessly past the point where her love, her adorable, adoring foal would … stop.

No. This was not the night that she searched, and found that there was nothing to reach. She had endless centuries to wallow in that despair. For now, she tried to drown her mind in her lover’s presence, and wished that sleep could bring her the same careless forgetting.
