I rustled in my sleeping bag. All of this loss made it difficult to get a wink of sleep. Dash noticed. It was her guard watch, and she promised she wouldn't let us be attacked unexpectedly.

"You awake, Devan?"

I shuffled around to face her. "Yeah."

"I know it's tough. The inability for me to sleep makes the job easier on me though."

"Ha."

"Devan ..."

"What?"

"Well ..." She sighed.

"Yes?"

"I was the one that fell asleep on watch."

"I know."

"You do?"

"Just because I lost an eye doesn't mean I'm blind. I know it was you, and we all forgive you. That's what friends are supposed to do."

"The others know it too?"

"Well ... I don't know about that. But I forgive you," I insisted.

"Thanks Devan." She smiled.

"No problem. Night, Dash."

"Night."

I fell into a deep sleep minutes after speaking with Dash. Her voice was a calming tool to help me. I started dreaming. I couldn't realize at first, but it started becoming as real as any lucid dream I've had. I was standing atop a high mountain, but it wasn't very cold. Fog surrounded me on all sides.

"Devan ..." I heard the wind whisper.

"Yes?" I looked around all sides.

Clouds cleared ahead to reveal Luna.

"Luna!"

"Hi Devan." She came close and we hugged.

"Devan ... Celestia is injured."

"Is that why the sun went down?"

"Yes Devan, but ... I think she might be okay. A human came and stabbed her in the chest. She's with some medics now."

"Oh no." I hugged her again, tears forming. Celestia had been the one to send me here. What would happen if she died? Would my world end? Would the whole world end?

"I brought you here to help you. Sadly, I can't give you wings. They'd be useless in this time anyway. But I can heal your eye fully for you."

"You have enough magic to do that?"

She nodded. "I can."

I thought for a moment. Celestia was hurt and Luna needed to protect her and herself. Was fixing my eye really worth that loss of magic? She moved closer and her horn began glowing in the darkness of the night.

"Wait!"

She stopped.

"Are you sure you wanna waste your remaining magic on my eye? I don't know how much this can help everypony."

"I'm sure. We have guards to protect us, and medics are working hard on Celestia."

"I guess you could do it then," I agreed, "Are you able to keep the moon up?"

"I've already locked both sun and moon in kinetic motion. It should be fine."

"That's good."

She came forwards again, and touched her horn against my eye. I felt the coolness of her magic press through it. A sharp pain raged through it, causing me to fall backwards. Luna used her front hooves to hold on to my hands. Pain similar to when Pete knocked me out soared through my no longer dead eye. My left watered immensely.

I felt cool air flow through the socket for a second before feeling a final pop that snapped my eye together. My bones felt weak for a few moments and Luna drained my sweat with more of her magic.

"Good luck, Devan!" She let me go and waved as she drifted away through the clouds. My eye was still bandaged, but I could feel my eye moving under it. The sensation of the dream had excited me out of the dream, and led me to awakening.

Both of my eyes opened to see that it was still dark. My left eye was still bandaged, but I could feel it again and I still had the feeling of the dream in my mind. I sat up to see that Dash was still on guard.

"Hi again, Devan. You've been squirming around a lot. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine ... just a dream. Have you been guarding this whole time?"

She laughed. “Devan ... it's only been about half an hour. Of course I'm still guarding. I have about another half hour to go."

"Huh ..."

"What kind of dream was it?"

I hesitated. Luna hadn't told me whether to tell them about Celestia's situation or not, but I supposed suspicion would come when others saw my eyes magically fixed. Quite literally.

"Luna was there."

"Oh ... did she give you news?"

"She gave me something else too."

"What?" She seemed much more interested. I started peeling off my bandage cautiously. "No way ..."

It took me a few moments to peel if off fully. My peripheral vision doubled and my eye fluttered for a second.

"Your eye!" she yelled.

"Shh ..." I whispered.

"Sorry. But your eye ... that's great!"

Twi squirmed and sat up.

"What are you two talking about?"

She noticed my eye right away.

"Your eye!"

"Shh ..." Dash and I whispered.

"Sorry! How did you fix your eye? I thought it was perma-scarred?"

"Luna healed it in a dream."

She frowned slightly.

"I thought even the alicorns were losing their magic."

"They are," I answered, "She used some of her last magic on me, I guess."

"That's weird. I'm happy for you though. But let's try to get sleep now. Night."

"Night, Twi. Night, Dash."

"Night Devan."
