Luna groggily opened one eye.

"Princess Luna?!" said a familiar voice.

"Luna, can you hear me?"

"Mm hm, yes Twilight," said Luna softly, as her vision cleared she could make out a lavender alicorn leaning over her.

"Where is Tia?" asked Luna.

"Who?"

"Tia, uh, Celestia?"

"Oh, she's in another cell over there, right by a window."

Luna went over to look, through the bars she could see Celestia lying rigidly on the foor. Luna began to laugh softly to herself.

Twilight looked at Luna, perplexed. As far as she could tell, Celestia was in great pain.

Noticing Twilight's look, Luna pointed something out.

"Twilight, this glass is not sound proof, yet it appears Celestia is silent. That is not Celestia. It is a low power projection, using so little magic that I doubt Sombra could sense it."

"Well, we will have to wait for ages now," said Twilight.

"Why is that, my dear pony?" asked Luna.

"If you add up the time it takes for her to fly to the castle, assemble an army,-"

"Twilight, we are in your head. The only way for you to escape is to defeat Sombra. Well, sort of."

"Wait, you mean to say that I'm under a forbidden Nikagrouse spell? How in Equestria did Sombra manage to harness the power to do that? And why is it happening now, instead of right after I defeated Sombra?"

"Your love for others protected you, but the Tirek incident took its toll. The other question is better left un-answered," There was a momentary silence before Twilight asked Luna how she knew about how much Tirek had frightened her.

Luna paused before she spoke, "You have been having an extraordinary amount of nightmares recently. Most of them had to do with him."

Suddenly they heard a clang and a "bother!" from above them. Then a chunk of the ceiling came down with Celestia on top of it.

Celestia picked up her crown, and put it back on top of her head.

"Luna, remind me to never wear my crown when we are going on a rescue mission. It always falls off at odd moments when I can't put it back on." Noticing her friend for the first time, she shouted, "Twilight!" Celestia was extremely relieved to find her friend unharmed.

"Later Tia we need to talk. I have many questions about our past yet not one answer. I want the whole story, and Twiligt has more than earned the right to hear it," Luna's voice was firm.

"Okay," was Celestia's reply. Twilight felt that now was not a good time to say something. So she waited a few minutes.
