She was the guardian of the Realm of Dreams, as well as Bringer of the Night, but she mostly tended to her ponies dreams, a job she looks forward to every night. Princess Luna was a more connected pony to her subjects then her sister, rather being a driving force in there lives then sitting back and letting them figure it out on there own. She likes to guide them and sometimes they teach her new things she never knew about.
As well, she took this guarding job very seriously and never 'played' around, most of the time. Ever since her sister and herself had switched cutiemarks for a day they also had a understanding of each other and respected each others job.
Currently, she was walking through the starry space of the Realm of Dreams as orbs of her ponies dreams floated by, she enjoyed seeing what just her ponies were dreaming about and some made her laugh or cringe. And if she ever saw a nightmare, she would put a end to it.
It was the middle of the night when it happened.
As she walked the starry road a sound boomed through the space, like someone tearing through fabric. She ran in the direction of the sound, hoping that some creature had not escaped its prison of some ponies dream, a monster they created. She finally came upon what had caused the tearing sound to stare in shock and wonder, there in front of her was a black void like tear in the Dream Realm.
She peered deeply into the abyss to see many orbs of dreams floating around, it seemed to another version of the Dream Realm. She carefully walked through the tear between realms to see as she walked a glowing path of purple and blue intertwined was beneath her giving little light other then the orbs.
'What could have caused this?' Luna thought to herself as she walked further into the strange place.
The dreams were foggy and she was unable to peer into them, as if the ponies or whatever was dreaming was blocking her out. She went on further into the space, searching for a clear orb, a creature that wasn't blocking her out so that she could see who was dreaming and who the space belonged too.
She felt a sudden pull, it was a small tug but she knew it was a creature that was calling out.
Luna followed the pull through the orbs that hanged suspended in the inky blackness around her. It finally lead her to a orb that was far from the others, alone. It had a purple hue to it and when she peered into it she saw a alien world, one of metal and it seemed to be a city, though somewhat destroyed and burning.
'Whose dream is this?' She asked herself as she focused on the orb that turned into a large door way.
She stepped through and into the burning and partially destroyed metallic city. The air hanged thick with smog and smoke, and a smell she couldn't identify was there as well. She looked up to the sky only to see a alien night sky, one with several moons and debris floating in the heavens, with one pink moon shining most bright in the sky.
Suddenly she felt the creatures presence nearby, she turned and looked around only to see the city and nothing more.
She focused her power and teleported more closer to the dreamer; what she saw shocked and amazed her, in front of her stood no creature like she had seen before, one made a silver and purple metal, he stood on two legs and had hands or were they claws? On his right arm was a massive device she didn't know quite what it was, he was slightly taller then her with her head coming to his shoulders, but she could tell without looking that he was deep in thought and hadn't noticed her, yet.
"What is troubling you?" It slipped out, she didn't mean to say anything at all but her urge to help him was to great.
The being swiftly turned and she froze as his bloody rose red eyes locked onto her calming teal eyes, it looked her up and down with either amazement, suspicion or a mixture of both.
His voice was rough and gravely, "What...are you?"
"I am simply a pony who wishes to help those in need." He snorted and rolled his eyes.
"I do not need help from a organic such as yourself, I suggest you leave before I decide that you look better as a blood stain." He sneered, she shivered in fear slightly but put her brave face on.
"No, I know when some...one needs help, and you seem to have called me out." He looked angrily at the Night Princess.
"I have had enough of your foolishness!" A blade extended from his arm and he swiped at her only for it to be stopped by a white barrier, her horn aglow with her power.
"Let me ask you this, why do I feel sadness in this place?" He stared at her in confusion, "After all this is a creation of your mind, why do you feel sorrow here?"
He stood back from her, "A creation of my mind? What is this?!"
"You are dreaming, and this is something that is weighing you down." His eyes turned hateful again, he went to attack her only for the barrier to repel him, soon after the world began to be sucked away and Luna knew he was awakening.
"My name is Luna, and I am only here to help those who want it." She said as too disappeared from the world the creature created and was forced back into the same space but this time in her own Realm of Dreams and by her side was the purple orb now blank as he had awakened.
It seems that she had a lot of work ahead of her if she wanted to get down to this mystery.
