//////////////////////////////////////////////

Chaos, what a wonderful, wonderful thing. Everything I have achieved has been thanks to it. A lot of time has passed since my last encounter with somepony I could speak to and, while I wait, I'll tell my story, but not from the start, because it would take eons to tell. I will start from the first time that I reached this colorful world, a time when an unnatural winter was ending and ponies were settling in what was called Equestria, putting their differences aside in order to have happy lives.

There were two powerful beings that took charge of the days and nights, one raised the sun in the day and the other the moon in the night. I really don't know how long they have been doing it or where they came from but I really didn't care. I just wanted their world, chaos should have ruled since my arrival, but it didn't. Everypony knows how everything is now, but I am getting out of topic, I came here from another dimension, and it was about 1000 years before I finally became free from the garden stone that was laying in the royal labyrinth.

//////////////////////////////////////////////

I entered this realm through a portal, wounded by a previous fight, and my physical body was too damaged to regenerate. My wounds were deep, one of my arms was missing, all my back was blown to bits, my whole body, outer and inner, was numb, the only part that still worked properly was my arm. As I landed in the grass of the forest where the portal opened, the dimensional rift closed instantly, shattering like glass in a million pieces, before vanishing into thin air.

The only way back was closed, I couldn't believe it. I was now stuck in this new world, without powers to open another portal, and with a damaged and dysfunctional body. To tell the truth, I still had power left to distort reality but, since my body was useless it would be pointless. I know I can't die but, if all of my power were drained, it would petrify me until I regain enough power to move again.

The rules that I set, the things I accomplished, everything was now lost. Many worlds crumbled under my feet, so much power I had and now all of it was gone. I had to start from zero again, and this time I wasn't going to make any unnecessary schemes, look where that got me! I wouldn't hide in shadows; if I want a work well done I had to do it more aggressively, quicker and, over all, absolute. I wouldn't let hope built up, I wouldn't let anyone dream.

After observing the surroundings and noticing my body was leaking energy, I decided to create a new body from memories of the old worlds' creatures. But before I could choose what to be I needed an idea of what I could be. In those moments I ignored the creatures of this place, and slowly started crawl to the place where I felt intelligent life coming from. No, not intelligent life, more like conscious life, it had spirit.

After a few hours of crawling in the woods, and advancing around 500 meters, I saw, in the distance, what appeared to be a dirt road. It was empty at the time, there were no lights around and I knew it was night because of the perfectly white moon that shined in the sky.
All of the stars that were spread across the sky above me made me feel sick, but the darkness that surrounded them made me remember how I used to be, a pitch black being that brought the worst nightmares to anyone near, but in this world that body was no longer useful, also I always change my body when I find new worlds, it's so much fun. I've never cared for any of the bodies that I owned, all of them served their purpose and were disposed of later on, but this time it was different, I couldn't forget about my previous one. I just couldn't.

//////////////////////////////////////////////

The last place where I lived was pretty similar to this one, everyone was happy, chaos wasn't present, the hearts of the living were pure and I needed to change that, but I failed. What was supposed to be a simple meal turned out to be my biggest mistake. I planned a temporary retreat when I was attacked in the middle of my trip across space, that's how I ended up here, I still have things to do there, but first I need to finish something here and then I will be able to go back and get my revenge.

The only world that has ever beaten me and made me retreat, the only world where hope was present even in the most chaotic times, I made a mistake there, something I won't let happen again. I must rule, I will set the rules. NO LOOSE STRINGS.

//////////////////////////////////////////////

I reached the road, all alone and the morning sun rising. Then I saw them for the first time, a dark blue alicorn whose body was a light shade of blue, flying through the sky lowering the moon and a white one with a light pink mane raising the sun.

Both alicorns flew high to perform the transition between day and night, and after half an hour the two alicorns had successfully made the transition and went back to the forest behind me. I couldn't see if there was a palace or something there, the trees blocked my view.

After that spectacle I knew what kind of creatures lived here, some sort of winged pony with horn magic, and I finally decided what I was going to become, I just needed a reference from this world and the rest could be whatever I wanted. Although it is true that building a normal body would let me hide in crowds more easily, that was simply not my style. If you do something it must be your way, and I wasn't going to pass unnoticed, I was going to go BIG and take everything, I learn from my mistakes.

First I built an equine head, so everypony would think that I was from here, and then I just had fun. The wing of a bird, the paw of a lion, two horns, because two horns have more power than one, the tail of a dragon, the mouth of a snake and many other part of animals that I have seen in my travels, the truth is that I changed a few times until I built the perfect body for this world. The body that I created from scraps was perfect, but still too weak, the wounds still hurt and my real power was gone.

There was nothing I could have done after shape shifting. The sun, up in the sky, made me wonder, how many worlds had I seen fall under my powers? Why hope prevailed when there wasn't even a ray of light to see? What did I do wrong there? How could someone sacrifice their own existence to stop me? And over everything else, WHY DIDN'T IT DISAPPEAR AS IT WAS SUPPOSED?! I failed to corrupt their friendship, why didn't anybody turn against them when I made everyone believe that they were causing the world to fall apart? I don't know why the words of FRIENDSHIP and HARMONY were stuck in my head. How did they find them?

I was getting bored, but I couldn't help myself, time was passing by and there were so many things to do, so much fun that I could have had. But all the energy I had left was consumed when my body shape shifted to this form, so I just rested aside the road waiting to see somepony that I could corrupt. Taking all of his/her will to live away to start my reign of chaos once again. It was going to be my first meal in this world, the darkness and chaos that would spread was going to fill their living hearts with fear and hatred that later I could take and use, but back in the other world, where I failed, I couldn't just implant myself inside their hearts, they had an inner strength that I couldn't break by simply making them feel sick with others and with themselves, I had to change the outside world to corrupt them. This world had the same problem. And I hated it.

Hours passed and the sun was now at the center of the sky and the clouds for some odd reason didn't move from where they were. Nopony walked down the road where I was, it was deserted.
I was getting really annoyed.
But suddenly a unicorn appeared in the distance. First of all, I was surprised that he had no wings, that was when I realized that the two alicorns that I saw were different and had powers greater than the rest, this relieved me, that meant that the normal ponies were simple beings that held no power, or at least nothing significant.

The mane of the stallion was red and his coat had a bright yellow color. His hooves were also covered by his hair, so all of his four legs appeared to be one yellowish thing. I was sure he didn't see me before I ran into the woods. I waited there; my powers didn't let me create a disguise so I just waited in the shadows until the stallion was near enough to catch.

He passed by whistling a song, and minding his own business. Too bad for him, I suppose. When he was close enough I jumped in front of him and grabbed him by his body, I noticed a blue fireball on his flanks. Before I could speak his horn glowed blue and a fireball the size of a bowling ball was launched at my face. I was attacked by a pony, of all the creatures in existence I was attacked BY A FREAKING PONY!!!

I was sent flying back into the woods immediately as he landed and saw where I crashed, an apple tree, and without fearing a retaliation, he continued whistling and went away. As I got up I felt that something was missing, I touched my face and, OH OH OH, one of my fangs was missing.
How did a fireball knock off one of my fangs anyway?!!! It didn't even explode!
I looked around the ground for it, I have never ever, ever, ever, ever been so insulted in my entire existence, no ONE AND I MEAN NO "ONE" has ever done something like that before and walked away like I was NOTHING. As I got angry I felt something, the sky was turning grey and a small snow flake reached my nose.

//////////////////////////////////////////////

I still remember the Windigos, those amazing creatures, they consumed the "bad and evil" feelings of other creatures to survive and became more powerful because of it. Ponies thought they were supernatural, but they are just strange creatures from the poles that were attracted by their feelings. Just like changelings, but they didn't need to put their victims in a trance to eat them.

I've really missed those creatures ever since that day, but, what had to be done had to be done and I was in no position to make the "right" choice, so my tastes had to suffer. Heh heh, just joking, they were an excellent meal, very HEALTHY.

//////////////////////////////////////////////

The snow started to form a thin layer on the ground, my fang was still lost and it wasn't an easy task with all the white surrounding me. I was losing my patience. As time passed by, the light snowfall transformed into a blizzard. Suddenly the white alicorn flew by and the snow retreated, the ground became green again as the she blew the clouds away and returned to where she came from, all in a matter of seconds. As the clouds went to the west, east, or maybe south, if the alicorn was flying north, AGH, I hate directions, the world is more simple when every direction leads to me and I can SEE everyplace at once, I NEEDED MY POWER AND I NEEDED IT NOW! The anger and frustration made the snow fall once again.

As the snow began to fall AGAIN and everything around me was turning white AGAIN, I decided to look up at the sky to see what was going on. A cloud, spinning right above me. Interesting, but it was really making me show my bad side, and I mean my REAL BAD SIDE. If I could I would have turned those clouds to stone or sand, so they would fall down and let me continue my search. The two alicorns came and everything repeated, ugh so monotone.

As the clouds ran away, and I really mean ran because I could see some beasts inside those clouds that were like no others. That's where realization struck me. They were coming for ME, somehow I attracted them so they must have had something in common with me and if that was the case, I would have found a way to get back my powers. They went in the same direction as before. I looked behind the apple tree once again, looking for my fang and finally I found it. Let tried to put it in the right place, ummmm, agh, NO, it didn't fit, okay, okay. I took it in my lion paw and began walking. I was indeed powerless that moment but at least I could walk. Not much compared to what I could do before, but it would have to do FOR NOW.

//////////////////////////////////////////////

Now I must clarify some points.

First, the Windigos were attracted by my spirit, not my feelings, as an immortal being I should not have, UGH, feelings. *eye twitch*

Second, I really didn't remember that I had wings for flying, I was still getting used to my new body.

Third, I need a chocolate milk of glass.

*drinks the glass*

Ah, much better let's continue.

//////////////////////////////////////////////

I was heading to the mountain, where I saw the last traces of the Windigos, the wind was blowing very hard. Once I got up there I looked back to where I entered this world from. There was a valley surrounded by mountains, in one of them a huge castle was being built, far into the forest a fortress was standing, not so big but really easy to spot. So that was where the alicorns resided. Not really that impressive for a ruler, but not so bad either.

At the other side of the mountain, where the Windigos fled to, there was nothing but a vast landscape covered by snow and in the distance a small town with a castle in the side of a hill and some cloud houses at the limits of the town forming a little village in the sky. But what really shocked me were the huge spinning clouds above it.
The dirt road that I left behind went around the mountains and connected a village in Equestria to the winter land's town. The feeling between the two places was very different; one was full of hope and harmony, while the other emitted hunger and hate as its most dominant emotions. I found a buffet, I was indeed pleased with my decision of following the Windigos and finally I felt how my powers were slowly returning.

A whole NEW WORLD for me, I couldn't wait for all my powers to return and turn Equestria to ashes, or something even better, my amusement park. At that moment a big cloud passed above me. It was more like a city of clouds, it wasn't from the winter land, it felt more like Equestria, maybe another enemy or another power source. I didn't care. The only thing I knew was that in front of me was the beginning of my empire.

My confidence returned as I started to run downhill, as I went deeper into the snow my powers were increasing. I held my fang strongly in my paw, I didn't want to lose it here or I wouldn't be able to find it ever again. Indeed I was excited, not the kind of excitement mortals felt but some strange sort of excitement, something bigger, maybe something changed inside me, now I also wanted to have fun, and so I would.

My powers increased as I levitated and flew to the winter town, finally I was going to get all of my powers back, no one was going to be able to stop me now, my time had arrived, and I was going to enjoy every second of it.

-----------(Celestia)------------

The night was calm, but I couldn't sleep. Something was disturbing me that night; Luna was in the tower of our castle fulfilling her duty, for the first time in my life I started to cold sweat. What was this feeling?

I got up from bed and started to walk to the tower. The spiral stairs that led to the observation chamber were made of stone and were a little slippery. As I climbed I felt how the darkness of the night suddenly became nightmarish, what was wrong?

I entered the observation chambers which led to a hall that connected this place to the third floor of the tower. The second floor was connected to the throne room and the first to the supplies chamber. The observation chamber also was connected to the rooms by small halls, it could be said that this room was the center of our fortress.

Everything was in its place; the royal guards were sleeping as usual. They weren't used to patrolling in the night, besides they were always assigned to it but there were no threats in Equestria, so they were allowed to sleep. But this night the atmosphere was heavier than it normally would have been.

I was heading to the tower but before I could reach the hall a voice from behind me made me stop.

"Celly, My faithful student what are you doing here at this time of the night?"

I just turned around to see the old unicorn Starswirl, he didn't have any clothes. Those blue eyes that stared at me combined with his coat and mane colour, a bright blue for his coat and a dark one for the mane, he was old but he appeared to be around his twenties. I still like his five star cutie mark; somehow it makes me think of Luna and me.

"Oh, good morn... night Starswirl, I was just going to spend some time with my sister"

"You can't sleep, can you?" he replied.

I couldn't lie to my master; he always noticed when I did it, if I were to be honest with myself, it was kind of annoying.

"Yes, it's true, I can't sleep. This night I'm afraid, but I don't know of what or why, I just fear of nothing."

"Um..." Starswirl just stood there, he said nothing for a while, when finally he started to speak again in a more serious tone.

"Can you describe this feeling, my dearest?"

"It is like the entire atmosphere suddenly became heavier, I started to cold sweat. I am afraid."

"Don't worry tonight Celestia, go with your sister and check if she is ok... You know what, stay with her all night."

"Thanks Starswirl, I love you."

Starswirl spoke a little worriedly but he calmed down with my comment. Of course I loved him, he was the closest thing to a father I've ever had.

I ran through the hall and upstairs, when I was at the door of the balcony I heard someone cry on the other side. In a matter of seconds I opened the door, Luna was in a corner looking at the wall. When she saw me her eyes were red, she ran to my side and hugged me.

"Tia" she said "I'm glad you are here"

"Why were you crying?"

"I felt lonely and abandoned for a moment, then the moon turned black for a second and I was afraid... So very afraid" Luna started to cry again as I looked up to the sky and the memory of Starswirl from moments ago filled my mind. What could be happening?

"Calm down now, Luna, your big sister will always be with you."

"I know, I know. I wanted to go with you but, I am a grown up mare. I can't just leave my work when everyone is depending on me."

"Don't worry, I'll spend the night with you."

"Thanks."

Something wasn't right but I was tired, both of us decided to stay together until morning.

-----------(Starswirl)------------

I am Starswirl, but now everypony knows me as Starswirl, the Second. Tonight I fear my worst nightmares have come true, the time has come and I know what to do. I am just a little sad that this had to end so soon.

I returned to my bedroom and locked the door as Celly ran upstairs. I needed to do this. I grabbed a quill, some ink, some pieces of paper and an old black book that I had been writing for years.

When the letters were finished I folded them and with a magic blast they were gone. The next thing to do, spend some time with Celly and Luna.

-----------(Celestia)------------

It was now morning, and yesterday's nightmare was over, Luna and I went back to the castle after raising the sun. There we found Starswirl waiting for us with a huge breakfast ready in the dining room, it was rare for him to be doing it, but I didn't mind.

We sat around the table and started breakfast with dandelion sandwiches and muffins. The first to break the silence was Luna.

"What do you think happened yesterday, Tia?"

"I really don't know, but I don't mind. Maybe it was just a bad dream I had, and accidentally released a little bit of magic. I don't know and I don't care." I said calmly trying to avoid unnecessary fears or preoccupations. The first cloud houses that were going to build Cloudsdale were getting moved from the old kingdom with cloudmaker machines to start building them here instead of having to transport a lot of clouds from different places. Also I didn't want to talk about it, I had a bad feeling but I didn't want to show it.

"Celly, I know you don't want to make us worry about what happened yesterday," Starswirl said calmly but seriously "But what has to be said MUST be said."

Starswirl sounded not only worried but also angry or maybe sad, Luna crossed looks with me. Both of us knew something was wrong; the last time Starswirl talked like that was when Luna tried to read a book in his room.

"And, what must be said?" Luna asked in an innocent way but at the same time too childish to be taken seriously.

"Celly, Luna... Both of you know that what you do is what keeps this world alive." I didn't like where this was going "The time has come for you two to make real decisions. Just promise me, that you are going to be together until the very end."

Starswirl's words sounded melancholic, so serious, so unlike him. We started to worry.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yes I am, don't worry."

"We promise that we will always be together, Tia and I are inseparable."

"Never make promises that you can't keep," Starswirl replied.

"I would never let Tia be alone, I will always be with her... and with you."

Those last words seemed to have hurt Starswirl very badly. After a moment, he looked at Luna with wet eyes.

"I wish that could be true, Luna, you are loyal to us, that makes you very special but don't let your loyalties confuse you okay?"

"Okay...?"

"You will get it, I know. Now, the things that must be said MUST be said." Starswirl looked at me and I knew what I should do.

"Yesterday's night wasn't normal. The entire balance of the world shook, I think we might be facing the world resisting our days and nights."

Luna was surprised and Starswirl was smiling. I think Luna didn't feel all of that, she just got scared and didn't want to admit it.

"Stop lying Tia, please just tell us you were lying," she begged.

"She is not lying, Luna, but she isn't telling the truth either."

"I am telling the truth," I replied.

"You're telling what you think, but not what really is; you are honest with your words, but never jump to conclusions so early, my dear."

"Okay," I said, in an almost sarcastic tone.

The room became colder in a moment and Luna was shaking. Starswirl now had his cape and hat on so he was fine and I didn't really care, I was more focused on the conversation.

"COULD SOMEPONY CLOSE THE WINDOWS?" Luna asked in the Royal Canterlot Voice so everyone could listen. A royal guard entered the room and spoke slowly but in a very concerned tone.

After a few minutes, a brown coated pegasus entered the room. He had a bright red mane with yellow strips. The royal general armor was shining with its red borders and black plates. He had no helmet at that time; I think those are very uncomfortable. His cutie mark depicted a silver sword hilt with a blade made up of red fire.

"There are no opened windows, my mares."

"WHAT TIME IS IT?"

"Luna stop using the royal voice, he is already in the room," I replied as the guard took his hooves off his ears. The royal voice was used for calling ponies in the castle since the walls were thick and a normal shout wasn't enough.

"Sorry."

"It's okay, Luna," I replied

The guard cleared his throat and spoke. "It is near midday, but..."

"Already midday? How long have we been eating breakfast?" Luna started to ask as fast as she could.

"Be calm Luna," Starswirl said "Patience is a virtue, do not forget that. We have been eating slowly and you didn't arrive until long after dawn. Both of you fell asleep in your bedroom because of last night's heavy atmosphere. Don't be so surprised."

"Celestia, Luna"

"Not now Flame Sword, can't you see that we are talking?"

"But..."

"I SAID NOT NOW"

"Luna, I already told you don't use the royal voice," I said angrily "Also you shouldn't speak like that to anybody."

"Why not, we were talking and he interrupted, didn't Starswirl say patience was like a virtue, let him have patience."

Finally Starswirl intervened, "Luna, patience is a virtue, but as is kindness. If you want everypony to respect you, you should respect everypony. Now let us stop arguing and let Flame Sword speak."

"The win..."

"I am not arguing, and..."

"THE WINDIGOS HAVE ENTERED EQUESTRIA!" Flame Sword shouted interrupting Luna, but that didn't matter. The Windigos have never been back to Equestria since the three tribes made peace with each other.

There was a silence that only Starswirl, Luna and I understood. Last night wasn't just a coincidence, something bad was about to happen and Starswirl knew that.

"I am sorry," Luna said "Maybe it was my fault, we shouldn't have argued."

Starswirl got up from the table and kindly asked the guard to leave. Only after the three of us were alone did Starswirl start to speak.

"This isn't your fault, Luna. Like I said before, hard times are about to come." We chuckled at the unintentional rhyme "Laughter will make your fears go away, but you need to know what not to laugh it." He looked at us, telling us with his eyes that this was serious.

The windows and doors opened suddenly.

"We should continue this after the Windigos are taken care of. Celly, please can you go and make them retreat?"

"Yes Starswirl, no problem. I'll be back before you can say my name." I went flying to the edge of the forest where the center of the storm was.

The Windigos are easy to scare away, since now we know what they are, we can do it quickly. I'm thankful towards Starswirl for discovering the spell of hearth's warming.

-----------(Luna)------------

Tia ran to the closest window and flew from there to the edge of the forest. As she was getting away, Starswirl started to speak to me, he spoke as if I were going to screw something up, but at the same time, with great charm and care.

"Luna... is something wrong? You are more aggressive than normal."

"Sorry, it is just..."

"What is it, dear?"

"I am a little bit... tired"

"Just tired? You know that I can tell when you lie. I haven't spent time with you all your lives without learning anything."

I shed a few tears as I finally confessed.

"I am afraid; I don't know what will happen. I didn't feel what Tia felt, and I got blocked when the moon turned black. I am really afraid, I don't want to... lose anyone!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Tia said something about the world rejecting the days and nights. And that may be true, the Windigos came here, just after last night's incident. And what if we are wrong, what if the world doesn't need the days and nights?"

"It is NOT what Celly said; she just jumped to conclusions too quickly. This world needs the days and nights, so everypony can live. But why didn't you say anything before?"

"I didn't want to make you worry. I tried to avoid making a scene... I'm so sorry," I started to cry again.

"Don't cry Luna, you have given too much of yourself to us. That is good but, never forget yourself either, always be calm and say what you think. Never hold onto any bad feelings my dear, or it will consume you."

"But if I say everything I will hurt somepony and I don't want that."

"Oh Luna, you don't understand."

Starswirl sounded so sad, but why? I couldn't understand, but Tia arrived just in time to break the uncomfortable pause.

"Hello everypony, I am back."

"You didn't spend much time outside, what happened?" I asked before Starswirl could talk.

"It was nothing, just one windigo, nothing more. Maybe it just got lost and ended up here by accident."

"There are no accidents, just cause and effect," Starswirl replied.

"You've always said that, but it was only one. Maybe there is somepony moving to Manehattan or Canterlot and the windigo followed him. I don't think it is a matter to worry about," Tia said completely convinced.

As Tia finished her argument the windows opened and a blizzard entered the room. Starswirl looked at us; I am sure he was thinking 'I told you' but didn't say it.

"Tia, you did it wrong."

"No, I didn't. When I had finished the windigo had gone back to the old kingdom."

Starswirl finally said something. "Luna, Celly, why don't you go and do it together. Later, we can talk." He stood up and walked to his room, as we went and flew through the window.

-----------(Celestia)------------

I led Luna to the place where I saw the windigo the first time. Right below us there was one of the oldest roads off Equestria, that supported my idea of somepony was moving here.

The clouds covered the sky, circling were five Windigos. Luna was surprised as well as I. Taking down so many Windigos is completely different than facing only one, but we were going to do it. We got closer to them and used the hearth's warming spell. The Windigos retreated in a matter of seconds, we couldn't believe that it was so easy.

We returned to the fortress very impressed by our own power. We had never been able to use it this way, normally everything was calm so we didn't need to do anything more than move the sun and the moon. When we arrived in the dining room, there was only the stone table with nothing on it.

"Hey Tia!" Luna said, very cheerful "We did it, that was easier than I expected"

"Luna, I must say that it was pretty easy, despite there being five of them." My mind was on the dirt road below the clouds.

"Did you see me using my magic, and then you used yours. But the best part was when... Tia, are you listening?"

"Sorry Luna, I had my mind in another place." I cleared my throat. "FLAME SWORD PLEASE REPORT TO THE DINING ROOM!"

"Why do you need him? Tia... Tiaaa... TIIAAA!"

"Not now Luna, later we talk."

The door opened and Flame Sword entered, but this time with his black and red helmet on, his mane had space to get out above the helmet.

"Flame Sword, reporting for duty!"

"Tia, you are starting to scare me. What is happening?"

"Don't worry, Luna, I just want check something," I said calmly to Luna, then spoke to Flame Sword "General, go with five guards and check the perimeters of the Everfree, right under the place of the Windigos incident, as fast as you could. Right after that, report to me, understood?"

"Yes, Celestia."

He flew threw the door as fast as he could and vanished behind the door. Luna was very concerned about this so I decided to explain.

"It is true that we took down the Windigos easily, way too easily."

"Are you worrying it was too easy? Tia, we move the sun and the moon for ponies' sake."

"That is not all, the Windigos went to the same place twice so I am just verifying that we don't have any unwanted intruders."

"But what could it be? There are no menaces here. We already went to everywhere in Equestria and the most dangerous place is here, where our castle has been built." Luna sounded angry and confused so I tried harder to explain.

"It is not about what is here, it's about what could appear here."

"I don't... get it."

"Luna... I am just making sure we don't get any more surprises. So if the thing that attracted the Windigos is still out there we will know. It is just a few extra precautions."

"If you put it that way," Luna began to understand "Okay, nothing to worry about. Now..." She yawned, "I will go to sleep."

"Rest well."

"Tia."

"Yes, Luna?"

"With you and Starswirl I feel safe. I love you two."

"I do too, now go to sleep, tonight we will have things to do."

Luna went walking slowly to her room as I got near the window and saw, in the distance, the first cloud houses. What was waiting for us in the future? What should we do? And the most important question, were we ready for it?
