Author's Note

Finally! This is the toughest one by far. Excuse my absence during all witers block, school, Warframe, Smash Ultimate, etc. From what I can tell, this is good! Now to go put some heart into it!

First time using 3rd person. I don't know if it sounds good, if so, let me know if there are any bad grammars.

Enjoy!

Oh! Mind the emojis, they are comical expressions! (PS: For those who can't see them. I apologize.)

Chapter 2: Passing the Haunted Border

The train starts to slow down as it nears its destination, and our two travelers are getting ready for their stop. They glance out the windows and see almost nothing outside, the station is empty and it is very foggy, hardly enough to see around. Apparently, they start to shiver just looking out there, either it's outside or a little scared.

"Lost Station! Now arriving at Lost Station!" announced the conductor, who is for some reason hiding.

As the train comes to a stop, our travelers gathered their belongings and start to exit the cart. Once they are out, the door slammed shut behind them and the train immediately left at high speed. The travelers saw the train leave as it dissapreared into the fog, they looked at each other, figuring out what was that about.

"Wankers. Can't they a' least give us a tour or somethin'?" said Nick.

"Or better yet, who or what can give us some directions tfrom this place?" said Jyro, looking around the station only seeing fog and more fog, "Well, we can check the ticket booth and see if they have any information."

"Or if there's anyone a' all?"

They both walked to the booth and see if there is anyone behind it. As they get closer, there is no one but a few rats scurrying around. Jyro looked through the bars to see if anyone is here or hiding, nothing but wind.

"I don't think anyone is here, maybe we shou-"

*CRACK! SHATTER!*

Nick suddenly kicked the door down from outside, startling Jyro.

"Fuck, Nick! Are you trying to be an ass!? You scared the shit out of me. And why the hell did you do that?"

"No one 's here! So we jus' make the best of it. Plus, me ears can hear ev'y sound. Remember?" said Nick. Jyro was about to argue further, but realized how good Nick's hearing is, so he is not going to say anything.

"*sigh* Fine. Just warn me next time, you know I easily get surprised."

"At least ya didn't piss yourself."

"Shut up!"

They start to search inside to see if there is or was someone inside the booth, few minutes later, nothing. Dust, paper all over the floor, rats, and more of all. Both were about to give up their search, until Nick found something very important.

"Oi, lad! I found somethin'"

"What is it?" Jyro walked over to Nick who has a folded paper on his hand.

"It might be some note. But I can't read the words."

"Let me see..." he began to read the words, but it was a little off to him as some symbols are weired and oddly shaped, "... I can hardly read the words. Wait! I got something!" Jyro opened his bag and took out a book that has a dictionary of alphabets and vocabulary for other world languages, "Let's see... This looks like it's Ponish."

"What?"

"... A pun for english." he muttered, "It must be their native language at Equestria. Thank gawd I was able to translate the letters and words, and not too complicated. It's just letters that are weirdly shaped than my worlds. I guess this means we have to learn their writing."

"Tha's fine an' all. But what does the letter say?" said Nick, getting a little impatient.

"Umm..." looking over the letters and book, he began to read the note.

'To anypony who reads this, I have quit and no longer work here. I am now at Trotland to stay there for good.'

"Well tha's bloody fantastic! Fuckin' wanker scurried off because of this we little place!"

"No wait! There's more to it."

'The reason why I left, is because there was an incident in regards to cross the Area. The last travelers that walked through the fog lost two of their own, and they say 'it was not the plains that took them'. '

"So? It's 'haunted' fer a reason! Wha' pussy blokes would not follow simple directions if they got lost?"

"No. I think it was something else. Or maybe, something was there."

'Given their reaction, I have no business being here, and do not want to risk my own life staying here and get swept up by whatever monster was there. If any of you want to pass the border and get to Equestria, I do not recommend trying. If any of you still want to, then I can't be blamed to try to warn you. The only direction to Equestria is to follow the eternal torches that line your path to Equestria. I wish you good luck and be careful out there. And if you are unaware of Equestrias currency, there is a bag of bits above the booth. Take it as an apology.'

Jyro finished reading the letter, now thinking on what this means and how were those missing travelers taken instead of wondering lost on the plains.

"... Welp, I'm gettin' da bits." said Nick, not caring what the note says, except the hidden bits location.

"Do you know what this means, Nick?" Jyro said worriedly to him.

"Tha' we're close to crossin' the border into the land of fine brewery? Means tha' I can almost taste it!😋 Plus, we got free money!🤑"

"😓... Nick, this means, if we are not careful, you will never ever taste fine brewery."

"😨 ... Well fuck me with a pipe, tha' is bad."

"But seriously, this might prove that the Undescovered Area is not haunted, but what is there."

"My guess, probably a monster. Maybe something bigger like the ones we fought back at Trotland. Now tha's excitin'." said Nick, and yes they fought monsters back then, but that's another story.

"Maybe, but this is the only path to Equestria, weather we live or die trying. Literaly." after finishing and salvaging whatever needs in the abandoned station, they search around the staton to find these 'torches' on what the letter says. They spend minutes trying to find anything that glows.

...

"... So. How do we know what these torches look like?" asked Nick.

"Oh I don't know, maybe find the ones that look like fire, smartass." said Jyro, annoyed.

"Oi! I'm just breakin' the silence here, no need to burst yer fuckin' bubble."

"Fine. But just keep a look out if you see any-" Jyro stopped as he found something glowing almost deep in the fog, "Wait. I... I think I see one."

"No shite, lad!?"

"Yeah. But I'm not certain, so." Jyro digs in his backpack and found a long rope, "Here. You grab one end and I tie myself with the other."

"I still have no bloody clue how ya fit all that in there." said Nick, a little impressed.

"I went camping a few times, and got the experience for it. It was actually worth it." Jyro hand one end of the rope to, Nick, "Okay. I'm going to go and see if it is what we need to follow. I'll tug the rope two times if it's safe for you to come."

"An' why can't ya just call me out instead?"

"'Cause what ever it's out there might hear us and sweep me or you up. Remember what that letter says? I don't want to take any chances." Jyro sternly said to Nick.

"Alright. Just sayin'. But I would never expect you to be bait so I can fish out what ev'r monster is out there. It's excitin'!"

"Well they always go for the big meat, so I may be the one fishing."

"Ha! Touche."

https://m.

After our fun little chat, Jyro tied the rope around his waist, checking if it is tied enough. He looked at Nick, seeing he had his end tied around his waist as well, and both giving a comfirmed nod that they are ready. Steadily, Jyro walks into the fog where the only lightsource he sees is their path. He listen carefully as he walks knowing if the mysterious monster is lurking within the foggy plains. Even knowing the warning of what the letter said, he is feeling really shaken, not only the fog makes the temperature drop or his condition, he's scared. It is alright to be scared if you are doing something brave,... or something really stupid, but you always have to push foward to get what you desire. After thinking of his little motto, he finally got close to the blue light, and it appears to be one of the lit torches that letter was saying, and it's blue. This doesn't impress him, since this is obviously magic made fire, and usually sees colored flames back at his old world, but he does like the architect design for it. So far, it is safe and Jyro starts tugging the rope, signaling Nick to come. Instead of being careful, Nick just casually walk towards Jyro, this annoys him since he thinks he resolves everything without care. Though Nick has really good ears, you can never be too careful.

"So these ar' one of those torches tha' guides us to, Equestria?" He said, looking at the torch, "Fancy."

"Yeah. Now let's see if we can find the others."

Now that they know their path, they carefully walk through the foggy plains, as they are back to back, looking, and litstened closely if there is that monster out there. It felt like hours at every torch they pass, and so far, no sign of a monster. Nick was getting impatient, thinking this was a big waste of time, and not believing that there was a monster anywhere. Or if so, it died out of hunger. But Jyro, he is starting to get tired and drowsy.

"I don't understand why are we going soo bloody slow. It's obvious that so called monster might have moved on or possibly died of hunger. And can ya stop leanin' on me! I'm not your-" Nick stopped his rant and looked at Jyro, at a very tired state.

"Are ya alright lad?"

"Yeah. Just,... tired."

"Ya can't sleep now, lad. We have come so far to get to Equestria. And I'm not gonna get stranded here with you sleepin' on me back"

"Sorry. I just... need to... close my eyes... for... a... bit..."

Jyro passed out, and Nick is struggling to keep him up. Plus they are nearing the next torch, and so far they passed five. The letter didn't specify how long or how many torches we have to pass until their destination. This situation makes it even more daunting.

"Lad?... Jyro?... Shite! Do I really have ta drag yer arse again?" said Nick, looking at the now sleeping human, "This is a load of haggis! Not only ya passed out cause of yer curse, but ta let me do all the heavy liftin' by me-self. Yer lucky I'm here with ya, draggin yer sleeply arse like I'm almost haulin' a big barrel of Gin. By the Gods, I would love ta have a pint or two right now," Nick still rambling, while carrying the human, and made to the eighth torch. As of now, Nick starts to get tired and rest by the torch, "*pant, pant* Hooo! *plop*" Nick dropped Jyro like a bag of... something. (I don't know it could be anything. You imagine it!) "I can't believe ya passed out again, and I thought ya had enough sleep. Guessin' you are runnin' out of time once this curse gets to ya. And I hope ya don't scream like a wilied goat."

Nick sat next to his friend, waiting and watching his movements, as he notices his sudden twiches. He even got kicked from Jyro, seeming he is having another nightmare. But for some reason, this is different...

"Really, lad!? Do ya wanna start... a..."

"... n-... no... no... nhhh... no..."

Jyro starts to flail his arm and legs which is not normal for Nick to see, and it's freaking him out. He can't stand to see his friend suffering like this, so he has to wake him.

"Lad! LAD! Wake up, Jyro!" shouted Nick, trying to shake him awake. But had had one way to wake him and he is going to regret doing it again, "Sorry, lad. I had ta do this."

"Ah!.... AAAHHH!!...... NNNNAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"

Jyros screams are getting louder and louder, but his eyes are still closed, still sleeping, still wailing. Nick has his hand stick out, the bracelet he is wearing starts to glow, and some strange streams of magic starts to form a large hammer with an impressive design appeared in his hands. (How did he do that? I'll explain soon.)

*WHOOOM* *BOONK!*

With the swing of his hammer and landed on the humans head, his agonizing screams have stopped and replace with a groan. Nick gave a relieved sigh seeing his human friend calmed down, but cringed just by seeing a big bump swelling on his head. Nick knew he had other ways to try to wake Jyro, yet he can't understand why he had to take out his special hammer. Exhaustion is coming on him and he now takes the chance to rest until they both are awake and ready. He trusts his ears to hear any noise that could come close to them, or something might take them.

Speaking of that special hammer, the bracelet that, Nick is wearing is an old sacred weapon that Trotland had carried over centuries. It said that this weapon can only choose its bearer whomever deems worthy of its power. There is also a plus, apparently it holds more secrets to its power. It's like it knows what is best for it's user and how soon powerful can it get along with it. It is an odd item yes, but it can be very useful when it comes to dangerous situations like monster attacks or something. And another cool thing, it can become any weapon you want to be, and shape the image you wanted it to be. It is a very versatile item, and it can be useful in a number of things, and no it does not do that! Put that filthy thought out of your heads you dirty monkeys!

Anyway, while we were talking about that cool trinket, Nick has been dragging Jyro again with a rope and already passed the twelfth torch. At that point, he stopped and collapsed on the ground right next to the torch.

"Seriously, lad! I've been litterally draggin' yer arse fer almost half the day, and ya still not awake!? Is it because I hit yer head tha' hard? Or are ya been awake this entire time just ta get back at ne, aye? Why I drag you ya say? 'Cause me waist is achen and me back is sore. Not only tha', this is the only torch I've seen as of right now and so far, NO FUCKIN' MONSTER!!!" Nick shouted, out of frustration with his arms up and plopped them back down, "*sigh* I'm sorry, lad. Me lit'le fuss has gotten me and I need ta let it out. I want ta go to Equestria as much as you do, but I never expect this ta be this hard. Of course you understand, of all people, I know how soft heart you are when it comes to understandin'. That's why sometimes I hate you, besides yer guts. And no, not because I'm jealous! I'm still-"

*shuffle shuffle*

*STOP MUSIC HERE!*

A sudden noise made him stop and immediately stood up looking out the deep fog. Then became more shuffling around the two travelers, but only Nick is aware where the sound is coming from. He can hear well, but can't see around through the thick fog. Something is moving fast and with the small tremors its making, it's also big. Nick armed his hammer and readied to what is coming close to them.

"Ngggghhhh..." Jyro is beginning to wake up, "Ugghh... damn my head, I had that weird dream again." He looked at Nick and hammer in hands, "You SON OF A BITCH! Did you just-"

"Shhhhhhh!"

"No! You shut up! Because yo-"

"Listen!" he said quietly, while covering Jyro's mouth with his left hand.

Doing what he says, Jyro begins to hear the shuffling and felt small tremors its making. But, the sound began even louder and closer. They saw parts of the fog that had some trace that something was there, thinking there was movement.

"I can't tell what it is. But wha'ever this monster is, it moves one place to another."

"I'm guessing it must be either fast or invisible. Pretty fast for something that's big. Unless..."

*FWOOMPH*

Something, what they think, landed infront of them, they tried to look closer slowly, until...

*👁AGRGRGR*

"WOAH!!!"

They both shouted as it appeared right infront of them, it was brief, but it was big, purple, and it has some kind of eye, but like a familiar animal that behaves like it, that just looked at Jyro and Nick for a quick second and instantly vanished.

"See! I tell ya there are monsters in this fersaken place!" Nick exclaimed.

"Shut the fu- LOOK OUT!" Jyro was about to say back, but noticed the oncoming attack.

It appeared again, but this time, it is barely visible, and you came almost see its shape. They saw something wide and big, about to slam on them, then it turned around and shot something long and slimy. Both successfully evaded, but right when it retracts and see where it came from, it vanished again.

"What the bloody hell was that!?" shouted Nick.

"... no fuckin' way..." Jyro said quietly to himself, and was shocked for knowing what is going on.

"What? What was that lad?" asked Nick, as he heard what his partner said. But, he looked at him, frozen, "LAD!"

Shaking it off, he tells Nick what to do seriously and worried "... Get all of our stuff and keep them close, and don't let its tounge touch you! And, whatever you do, DO NOT breathe the purple gas!"

Hearing this, both quickly gathered their belongings and they both wait for the mysterious creature to attack again. Nick wasn't convinced of what is going on, but his companion knows.

"Lad, I have no fuckin' idea what this creature is, but it looks like you know, care ta share?"

"... It... is something I know about this monster from my world, and it's supposed to be a fantasy video game." said Jyro, as Nick gave a questionable look at him.

"Fantasy wh- OVER THERE!"

To where Nick pointed, it appeared again, they can barely see, and its movement is vaguely familiar to them, mostly to Jyro. As it creeps close from smooth to pause movement, both travelers start to back up, more and more, as the mysterious creature starts to get closer and closer at a fast pace. And right it was about to engage, it immediately vanished once again, leaving a big gust.

Upon its disappearance, the dense fog starts to diminish and becoming more clear. They can finally see the sun which they can tell is around the afternoon, the plains are a lushly green landscape, and there are large cluffs scattered across the land ranging in different sizes. They took some time to look ariund the beautiful land and with their luck, they found another torch at the distance.

"Oi, look!" pointed Nick, "There's tha next one, an' I think I see some trees in the distance!" As he focused on their destination, Jyro is focused on the other problem. Going over the wrning on what the letter said back at the station, there is guarantee that there is a monster here, but a monster he knew all too well, and very much afraid of right now.

Knowing what may happen next, this is all too familiar to Jyro, and right when Nick takes the first five steps, Jyro dashed foward, grabbed his companion's tail, quickly glancing behind him now seeing the monster attacking from above, and immediately dodged at the side while yanking his partner along with him.

"AY! What the fuck are yeee-!!!" shouted Nick as he was immediately pulled by Jyro, and just witnessed the only image that might or will haunt him for weeks.

As they landed safely away from the jaws of death, they finally witness the monster that has been troubling them. It's big, purple, has wings, short legs, a wide tail with a curl at the end, and eyes as it looks like a chameleon. This gives Jyro a lot of fear and somewhat excitement by witnessing the creature, but Nick had other thoughts.

"What the bloody hell is that monster!?" Nick exclaimed, as it rose its head and has one of its eyes glance at their direction

"That... is a Chameleos. An Elder Dragon." Jyro said wearly.

"A what lad!"

"The plains were never cursed, it was its territory, the main reason why people dissapear, and the fog."

"Are... are you sayin' this thing is the reason behind this cursed legend and it turned out ta be a FUCKIN' ELDER DRAGON!"

"Noooo shit." the elder dragon slowly turns to face the two companions, eyeing them who will be its next meal.

"I've seen dragons, but an elder? ... It's been nice knowin' you lad."

"Yeah, it has. I guess I'll have all the brew to myself then."

"I WILL NOT DIE TODAY!!!"

The Chameleos took a deep breath and starts to fog around the area again.

https://m.

"Shit! We lost track of the torch! Stay within this one until the fog is gone, and once we get a clear visual, we run like hell."

"Aye!"

"I guess its time to take this out."

Reaching under his coat and on his waist, he took out a long red leathery rope rolled up in his hands that has a slim tip at one end and a firm stone handle on the other. A whip. A strange sound began somewhere, until Nick spots it.

"BEHIND YOU!" shouted Nick, as Jyro wind his whip and the elder dragon closes in for an attack and in quick succession...

*THWACK!!!*

A satisfying force landed at the base on the horn of Chameleos as it recoils from the impact, in result scarring it. Jyro pulls back his whip, but the red tip made its way back toward his face, it didn't hit him as the entire length re-rolled back in his hand . And yes, IT IS A MAGIC WHIP!

"Crikey! How I missed that sound! I'm still shocked tha' the elder cheiftains gave you that weapon and accepted you as its host. You're more like a monster killer with tha' thing!" said Nick.

"Yeah. I'm glad it's effective, but keep your eyes open for another ambush." said Jyro, satisfied with the result of what his whip can do.

Another sound happend to their side, they heard a burp, and a purple gunk splat in between them as a cloud formed.

"ACK! Poison! Don't breathe its gas!" the human shouted, quickly using his shirt to mask gas. But while they avoid the gas, the elder dragon charged in and lashed its tounge at both travelers. "Agh! Shit. That hurt."

"Blimmey! I can't compare tha' with your whip!"

"... wait." noticing, Jyro checked his pockets and his bag to see if anything is missing, all there is, is his belongings, but lost the rope.

"Shit! It took the rope!"

"What!?"

"Quick! Check yours!" hearing this, Nick dropped his hammer and checked his bag. Everything is there, but...

"THA' FUCKIN' TOUNGE STEALIN PIKER STOLE ME BITS!!!" he picked up his hammer and pounding the ground with great force, "COME AT ME YA PURPLE WINGED-LIZARD REJECT AND LET ME SNAP THA' TOUNGE OFF WITH YER JAW!!!"

"No, Nick! You can't get close to it an- LOOK OUT!" seeing the elder dragon now charging toward his companion, Jyro quickly shot his whip to wrap one of its purple legs, he pulled as hard as he can, and successfully tripped the elder dragon to its side, helpless trying to get up.

Seeing this as an opportunity, Nick rushed in, "GIVE. BACK. ME. MONAAAAY!!!" he swung his hammer with great force to the stomach of the elder dragon, making it force out whatever was in its stomach and puked.

Finding what he was looking for, it is far from being the gold coins as it became melted and black. Apparently, the stomach of a Chameleos carries poison and in result destroying and breaking down minerals. This upsets Nick even more and in rage, he winds his hammer for a devastating blow to the head. While doing so, the human noticed the fog started to fade and he began to search for the next torch thet saw recently. And thats where he saw it, the blue flare through mist, thats his opportunity to move, and immediately sprint towards the next torch.

*BOOOOMMFFF!!!*

*STOP MUSIC HERE!*

While running, he heard and felt the tremors if Nick hammer, knowing he might finish the job, so that's when he has to pull him in. Jyro shot his whip to his companion as it extends magically to reach its target.

A huge dent has marked on the elder dragon's head as it now laid lifeless, "Ha... haha! Tha's wha' ya get!" he panted, he seeing the slain elder dragon with a broken horn. Nick saw something purple and shiny within the broken horn, "Hmm? Wha's this?" he picked up what it was and it looks like a gem. Speculating this made Nick to smile even more, until he felt something wrapped his waist.

"Oh no- GAAA!!"

Nick has been pulled and sent flying across the plains at great speed. Once he is close, Jyro gets ready to catch him, and as crazy as it sounds, yes he has done it before. In total distance, it is approximately 73 yards in length the whip has pulled. Its standard lenth is about 4.5 yards so the magic helps its reach. It may be longer depending the whips magic. Right when he is within range, Jyro was planning to attempt to grab the back collar of his shirt on one hand and grabbed his tail on the other, but he suddenly felt something that was not suppose to happen and fell forward. The flying kangaroo landed hard creating a trail, not too far, and slowly get up while in pain.

"Oof. Blimmey! At least warn me when you are about ta do tha'. Ya almost snap me waist." said Nick while easing and cracking his waist, but felt sore on other places, "Agrh! Plus, I thought ya were suppose to catch me, why aren't you-" he stopped, and now looking at his partner on all fours.

Jyro begins to fade out, but he used his will to stay on his hands and knees, yet he is panting like he has run ten miles non-stop. Nick became a little concern for his companion seeing he is not in good shape.

"Aye? You alright?" the human slowly stood up, trying to keep his balance but he felt he cant even keep his balance at all.

"... oh no." he said, weary. He turned to his friend grabbing both his arms.

"OW! Shite! I'm sore there mate. Are ya sure you are okay?" asked Nick, as he felt small pressure on his arms feeling he is trying to crush him, or try to lift him up, "Um... lad?"

"I... can't..."

"What?"

"I can't... lift you."

"What are you talkin' about lad?" not sure what his partner means, but until he understands what he means... "... Hold on a sec lad." he searched for a decent size rock to test his theory, "Here. Try holding this." He handed the rock to his partners hands, until it immediately drops to the ground along with him.

"... ow."

"Crikey..."

"Yeah. There goes my strength. That sleep only gave me time to get here and pull you." he said as his voice now sounds like he is ill. Nick helped him up and used his shoulders for support as they begin to continue on. Jyro opened his hand until his whip returned to his palm and rolled up and put away on his waist. No, this does not mean he's a jedi.

"... Then we must hurry, laddie. Gods know how long we have to walk on this cursed land. Or how many we have to pass those bloody torches."

"... How about one?"

"*!* Say what, lad!?

"While you were in the middle of pounding that Chameleos, I saw how far we need to go," walking up ontop of the hill, the sun was about to set as it still lights up the land they have longed searching for, "... just one. More. To go." both marveled at the sight of the beautiful green land and cool blue sky.

"We did it, lad! We made it!"

"Yeah, we did." Jyro said, as he is beginning to fall asleep again, "Nick, we have to-"

*TOOT TOOOOT*

Hearing that familliar sound out in the distance, they see a train making its way. Seeing this as an opportunity, they plan to hitchhike the train. Nick has something in mind that will help his friend to get on.

"Get on me back lad, you may not have the strength, but I still need your guidance." said Nick, as he heft his partner giving him a piggyback.

"Wow. Aren't we getting close." Jyro joked.

"Yeah yeah, laugh it up. At least your sense of humor is still there." rolling his eyes, he got his friend ready, "Okay. I'm gonna go full sprint, so hang on tight yeah?"

"... Go for it!"

Jyro wraped his arms and legs around his companion's upper torso, and prepare a very bumpy ride. The two travelers have finally reached their destination, the land of 'hopes and dreams' as they call it, await on a train ride. What will they hope to find, what will they gain as they travel, and what adventure awaits them? Till, next time!

Meanwhile at Canterlot Castle

Princess Luna looks out at the distance from the balcony from her room, seeing as the sun was about to set. She has forgotten how beautiful the sunset is, but from atop the mountain, it is even more vast. She can't stop staring at it, but it won't last long, as her sister's sun now hides behind the distance, it is now her turn to raise her beautiful moon. Slowly it rises the twinkling night blue sky to its highest peak as it glows brightly and luminates the land. Such a sight to behold on her perspective, but in her thought, she can only face the fact that people can't truly see it beauty and what this time of day represents their princess. Knowing that is one of the causes that made her jealous as darkness took over her, one thousand years ago. She hopes that one day, at least one pony at least admires her night, but she will not know if she stays locked in her room. She thinks it is best after the incident about two weeks ago. At least the locals from Ponyville were very forgiving and welcoming, but here in Canterlot, let us say, they know how to put down the mood. At least, in this time of era, there will be something new, and hopefully one pony will appreciate her night.

*SHUDDER!*

"*GASP!*"

Luna immediately dropped to her knees, feeling that cold sensation that she felt earlier today. It felt stronger this time, but she starts to worry what this means. Has Nightmare Moon survived and try to corrupt her again, or is this something else. What ever it is, she fears what may result to this.

*Knock Knock Kncok*

Hearing the knock on the door, Luna immediately stood up, but felt a bit dizzy after that strange feeling. She shook off the feeling and sat by her desk, next to the balcony entrance. Another three knocks she heard from the door and a voice was heard in the other side.

"Sister, are you alright?" recognizing her voice, she sighed in relief, "I heard something in there and it sounded like you fell."

"Yes, we art well." she answered, "We merely sat down and bumped our desk. No need to worry." she cursed herself for continuing to talk.

"... Alright then. Well *yawn* I'm off to bed. Goodnight, Luna."

"Goodnight, sister."

Celestia stood by the door for a moment longer wanting to say something else, but decided not to. She had a busy day, and she needed rest. Another day she will talk to her sister more, and more time to spend with her.

"Maybe tomorrow I will spend some more time with her. Yeah." Celestia said, silently.

Hearing hoofsteps growing faint, Luna relaxed and began to think about this sensation. She wondered why her sister stood by the door for a moment, probably she wanted to say something more, but that is not important now. This strange sensation may happen again at somepoint, she must find the source of this, but she does not know the cause yet. The only way to do so, is wait. But the more she waits, the sensation will probably get stronger. She really wanted to enter the dream realm, and return to her duties as a protector of dreams. But, her magic is weak, and from what those magic experts say, she may fully regain her magic by tomorrow. Yes, that will be the day she may find her answer. Hopefully. She stood up from her desk, removing her clothes piece by piece, leaving them on the floor, now fully stark, she stretches as her moon glows through her balcony, shining on her night blue figure showing her cutie mark on both her cheeks, she walks to her bathroom where she can calm her nerves before she can sleep. During her bathing, there is one other thing in mind, that she was thinking about dating. This thought came to mind ever since her return, three days after, she wanted to have somepony to be with, somepony to care, and hold you. Whatever this new era has came to be, there is no chance that will ever happen. But to hope, is the only thing she can think of. Finishing her bath, she dries up her night-blue coat and starry mane, brushed her teeth, putting on ger light blue pijamas, and finally crawled in bed. She can't help but being giddy of how comfortable the bed is. At least in this era has made some improvements, maybe one day she can see the world more. Then the thought of having somepony by her side during her travel.

"... One day."
