Princess Luna has a dilemma.

Every night, the same pony asks the same thing: protection and guidance during the night. Curious as to why this pony asks her for assistance, she decides to pay this unsuspecting pony a visit to get to the bottom of this.

Special thanks to Alexshy for correcting, editing, and guiding me through this, and for encouraging me to publish this here.

Extra-special thanks to Yoye Wolfgrel for the shiny new UPDATED cover art! (No doubt produced with the gentle prodding of Alexshy, for which I am forever in both of your debts.)
