I open my eyes, not knowing what happened. I Look around to see stars glittering around me in a void, standing in an unknown place once more. I look down still in my loincloth, not standing on anything. I begin to panic from the fear of falling, but I don't feel the drop or the sensation of wind. Puzzled at my location, I start to walk in a direction not knowing my destination.

Looking around as I walk, the only thing I see are the stars around me all various sizes. Wondering how I got here or who brought me here, I think back to what may have done this. I remember Nala and Lily leading me to the alpha, seeing the look on his face when I through the knife was priceless. The shock, fear, and pain showed on his face, brought a smile to my own. Feeling the energy course through my arm as I cast the spell, was exhilarating. Then I killed him, seeing all the dogs in my new pack. "I will need to get used to being called alpha by them," I think out loud.

Not knowing how far I've been walking, I call out to the void, "Hello, is anyone there?" I shouted. To my right, I heard a faint voice. I change my course and heading in that direction, all the time wondering who they could be. As I walk for some time, I can hear crying ahead of me. Peering through the void, I can see a figure huddled on the floor.

Getting closer, I can see that they are a pony. This one, however, is bigger than the ones I've seen before. Their coat is a shade of bluish-purple, with a light-blue mane and tail. The mane cut short, with a dark coloured crown. I'm right next to them, and they don't notice me. I slowly place a hand on their shoulder when I touch them, they gasp loudly. Their head spins around to face me, with a look of shock and fear on her face. "whoa, it's ok I'm not going to hurt you," I reassuringly said. They looked at me with a hint of fear in Their eyes. "How didst thee receiveth h're, and who is't art thee," she shakily said. By the pitch in the voice, they are a girl. "Sorry I didn't understand you, one moment," I said. Thinking back to my lessons, I try and remember the words needed to translate. After some time and strange looks from the pony. I remember what I need to say, "anglis in transferendum." "Can you understand me better?" I ask. Her eyes widen in shock at my spell, "how do you know the human tongue?" She asked. "Well, I am a human and someone called Nightmare Moon gav..." "What, y-you are an a-agent of N-Nightmare Moon?" She said, starting to backpedal. "Hay, hay it's ok I'm not going to hurt you," I reassured. "I don't even know where I am," I said.

Her eyes are puffy from crying a lot, "are you ok, why were you crying?" I ask. She looks away embarrassed, hiding her face sniffling a bit, "I-I don't know what you're talking about," she shyly said. "Ok, let's start again what's your name?" I ask. "M-my name is L-Luna," she said, looking away. "Well Luna, it's nice to meet you," I say, holding out a hand. She looks at my hand unsure, with trepidation she reaches out her forearm placing her fetlock in my hand. I slowly move my hand up and down, letting go of her leg and stand to my full height. She stands up on her own and looks at me then looking away with a bit of a blush, "w-what's your name human?" she asked. "My name is Sam," I answered.

While Luna stands there, I look around again see if there is anything new. There isn't, "so where are we exactly?" I ask her. "Y-You are in my mind, more accurately you are in my dream," She said. Knowing now that this is a dream, I imagine some more fitting clothes on me. I look down I'm in some leather boots, blue jeans, black shirt and a Brown duster. Luna looks at me, shocked at what I just did. "how do you have such control over the dream realm?" She asked, amazed. "I've always been able to control my dreams," I answered casually.

"Ok then, so how do I get back to my head?" I inquired. "You will go back to your mind when you wake up." She said sadly. "Is something wrong, are you ok?" I asked. "W-Well I've been locked away on the moon, in my mind while Nightmare Moon watches the planet below," she said dejectedly. I rest a hand on her withers, stroking her fur softly. "how long have you been here?" I asked. "In 3 months, it will be 1000 years, and Nightmare Moon will be free at that time. She will cause havoc to the planet," she informed. "Well when that happens, I hope you can get some help in bringing you back," I said. She looked down sadly, "y-you wouldn't help me?" She said. When she said that, my heart sank into my stomach from guilt. I shook my head softly. "I'm sorry no, there are others that need my help right now," I explained. I can feel something in the back of my head, putting a hand on the back of my head and felt nothing. "I think I'm waking up, goodbye Luna I hope to see you again," I said giving a small bow, seeing my vision going dark I close my eyes and await what happens next.

--- Luna's POV ---

I see the human called Sam put a hand on the back of his head, knowing what this means. "I think I'm waking up, goodbye Luna I hope to see you again," said Sam. I look at the human bowing to me, giving a small bow back. Knowing this will not be the last time we see each other, seeing Sam start to fade then disappear into the void. I sigh lying back down once again alone, thinking on what's to come when Nightmare Moon's return and what part the human will play in.

--- Sam's POV ---

As I returned to a state of consciousness, I can feel a warm presence on either side of me. I'm lying on my back, two figures wrapping their arms around me either side. My arms are under them, wrapped around in a loving embrace. I shift my arms feeling the sensation of fur coursing through my fingers, as my hand passes through their coats. I can hear their slow and soft breathing, lulling me back to sleep. I open my eyes slowly looking down I'm on a bed, it's soft yet firm as well. I look to the two figures in my arms, on my left is Nala, and the right is Lily. Both sleeping peacefully with a content smile, Nala's head is on my chest, while Lily's is on my shoulder. My moving must have disturbed Lily, for she began to lift her head. When her eyes open, seeing me looking back at her. A happy smile forms on her face leaning over she licks my cheek. I blush lightly unknowing the reason for this action, in a hush and quiet tone so not to disturb Nala. "What was that for?" I say with a smile. She looks down at Nala, then back up to me. "For freeing us, and for being kind," She replies. I look down to Nala, then back to Lily. "How long have I been out?" I ask. "I think, a day," she said.

I move my hand to her head and start petting her, As I begin her head leans into my hand. Her eyes close as her tail starts wagging. As Lily's wagging tail hits the bed, it disturbed Nala and starts to wake up. I hear a quiet yawn from Nala, looking over I smile at her. She gives one back snuggles to me tighter, and I start to pat her head too. When I do this, a blush begins to show on her face. She tries to hide her face, but with my hand on her head, she doesn't do a good job. I chuckle at her attempt, but she doesn't stop my petting. Lily must be getting a bit jealous for she starts to whimper. I Look back to Lily, and I can see that she is pouting. "Now, Now there are enough pats for both of you," I said playfully. She looks at Nala then back at me. "Who you like more?" She asked. "What do you mean?" I ask inquisitively looking at her puzzled. "Now, you alpha, you need a mate." Said Nala. I looked ever to her more puzzled then it dawns on me. 'I need a lover?' "What?" I said in surprise. "Ok, ok so, now that I'm the alpha I need a mate?" Nala and Lily both nod at the same time, all this time I'm still patting there head. I look over Lily and Nala, and I could feel something in my heart, but I don't remember what this feeling is. "I need to think about this before I choose," I said. "I think it's time to get up." Both Nala and Lily hug me tighter as a response. I sigh, knowing I would not win. "I guess we could stay here a bit more," Hugging them back, I close my eyes and relax in their warm embrace.

Some time has passed sins we got up, and now I'm sitting on the large gem throne. Shifting trying to get comfortable, while feeling nervous being up here. I look over the main hall to see all the dogs standing in a group. 'they must be awaiting some orders or something.' I look over to Nala and Lily standing together, smiling at me. I smile back then face the crowd and start to talk. "Before I say what you need to do, I need you all to answer some of my questions." They all look to one another, then gave a collection of affirmatives. "Good, first what is your dietary habits?" They look at me puzzled. One raised their hand. "yes?" I said. "What di-e-tar-y?" She said confusingly. I sighed, once more than said it differently. "What do you eat?" I asked calmly. A, "oh," courses from the group, then one spoke up, "gems." 'Seriously, they eat gems?' "Is that it, or do you eat something else?" One lifted their hand and said, "no, we just eat gems." 'Ok so, while they can eat gems, I need to get a food source of my own.' "Ok then while you all can eat the gems we collected, I, however, can not eat gems." I sigh and dismiss the group, telling them to start stockpiling the gems they collect.

When they leave, I lean on my arm and rest my head in my hand and sigh again. Lily and Nala walk up to me, concerned evident on their face. "you, ok," Nala said. Lily comes over and sits to my right and rests her head on my arm. I smile softly and start petting her head once more, seeing mirth appear on her face. I look up at Nala and say, "ya, I'm ok just need to figure out some food for me." When I say that, my stomach then announces its presence with a loud guttural Roar. "Nala, can you bring some of that slop please?" I asked her. She starts to look perplexed. "why you want slop?" "It's the only thing we have that I can eat right now," I said. Still confound, she nods and heads to where ever they keep it.

When Nala leaves, it's just me, and Lily alone in the chamber. I keep petting Lily's head, hearing her tail hit the floor. I look over to see a griffin is making their way to me. It's Frost-beak, 'why is he still here?' I stop petting Lily, focusing all my attention on Frost-beak as he gets to the base of the chair. "Hello Frost-beak, why are you still here I thought you would be on your way home?" I ask him. He smiled and said, "I thought I would say goodbye to the one who freed me." "I'm glad to see you better off,". He looked to the grand and rubbing his arm. "Is something wrong, did anyone of my pack do anything?" I asked him. He looks up at me with shocked, "N-no, nothing like that happened, it's just. I don't have anywhere to go." I can see tears forming in his eyes. I look to Lily, and she shrugs at my look. I smile softly and start to pet her again. I look back to Frost-beak, smiling at him, "I will get a room set up for you, and you can stay here for the time being," He looks up at me shocked. "But you need to do something for me as a form of rent," I said. He frantically nods his head, "y-yes, of course, what do you need me to do?" He's starting to cry now. "Can you hunt?" I ask him. He blinks for a second, then nods. "Good, so as your rent, you will go out and hunt for are food, sins I eat meat too." He looks at me shocked, not expecting what I said. Frost-beak and Lily said in unison, "you eat meat!" Lily pulls back from my hand. I sigh and say, "yes, I eat meat," I look at Lily. "Don't worry, I don't eat anything that can talk back." When I said that both Frost-beak and Lily sighed. Lily moves back to my hand, and I start petting her smiling seeing her tail go again. "Ok, Frost-beak if you can search for some food for us, I'll get your room situated." He smiles, nods then leaves.

I look down at Lily once more. I move my hand to the back of one of her ears, and she loved it. At that time, Nala comes back with a bowl in her hands. I smile as she hands me the bowl, I wave my hand in a come hither motion. I place the bowl in my lap when she gets closer I start patting her head too. "Thank you for the food Nala," I say, smiling. A blush forms on her face again, and then she sits down her head resting on my lap. 'They are so cute I could just pet them all-day.'
