Luna awoke to a banging on her door, and a call of her name. “Luna?! Luna?! Are you in there?! Dear sister please, Answer me!” The voice of Celestia calls out sounding rather desperately.

“Yes sister, yes, what is it Celestia?” Luna calls out rather annoyed by the sudden noise disturbing her sleep.

“Sister, it’s close to seven thirty!” Celestia speaks, still sounding alarmed.

“Yes sister, what of it?” Luna questions still not fully awake. “…” Nothing came from the door for a few second, Luna raise an eyebrow to the silent.

“D-dear sister, you need to lower the moon, so I can bring the sun for morning.” Luna eyes start to open wide, hearing the hidden fear in Celestia voice, how late it became for it is already morning.

Luna jumps out of bed. “O-Of course dear sister, Celestia please come in.” Luna lit her horn pulling the door open, while rushing to the balcony. Her sister, Celestia rushed to meet her, as Luna lowers the moon, Celestia began to raise the sun. After the sun is lifted into the right position in the sky, declaring morning has come; like a flipbook with a few pages missing between the moving pictures. Celestia released a sigh of relief. “I’m sorry.” Luna continued seeing the worried expression on Celestia face. “We grew tired late last night.” Celestia chuckled nervously, and seemed to relax.

“Of course, I understand Luna, a student can keep you busy, but you must not let her distract you from your royal duties.” Celestia lectures.

“Yes dear sister.” Luna response.

“Do you know where Violet is?” Celestia asked.

“She-” Luna eye grew wide, as memories upon memories of the previous night rushed through her head. Bashing her reality with the hammer of truth that lay before her, of something that could not be, but is.

Celestia eyed Luna’s shocked expression, and grew worried instantly. “Luna, Luna? Are you alright dear sister, is there something wrong?” Celestia questioned her, with pure concern laced into both her facial features and her voice.

“Celestia you would not believe what happened to us last night, what we have seen, learned, and heard!” Luna blurted out, with a look of worry and shock expressed on her face.

“What sister, what is it?!” Celestia ask in a desperate and worry tone, and expression.

“It’s-” Luna pause or rather just stop talking as her eyes glazed over in memory. ‘What we can say, all that we have heard…. And all that we heard about our own sisters actions towards my followers… to mean we understand it to be a war at that time, but even we did not use the blessing in the war… or rather Nightmare moon did not know of it…. But still… And to hear, that even now the Sun blessed walk Equestria, smiting down those who dabble in the dark arts. Surely they deserve a trail for their action. We must know more of this, before we inform our sister, we hate to even think this, but we could be putting those ponies lives in danger, even though they do not bear their lives on the soil of Equestria, giving them full right to do as they-’

“Sister, Luna?! What wrong, it is as if you dozed off there for a second.” Luna was snapped back to reality by her sisters interruption.

“Oh- umm… It was nothing sister.” Luna lied, smiling nervously at Celestia.

“What about last night, sister?” Celestia asks, with an eyebrow raise.

“Uh?!” Luna spoke out of confusion.

“You spoke about something happening last night, it sounded, or rather you sounded as if it was dire.” Celestia explains.

Luna blinked. “Oh yes, well… Violet!” She rather shouts out the name, making her sister back up a little.

“What about Violet?” Celestia asked with a worried frown on her face.

“Sh-She knows more than we thought dear sister.” Luna spoke with an uneasy expression.

“Really?” Celestia replies.

“Y-Yes dear sister, why, she must have been studying at an early age.” Luna notes.

“Yes I agree dear sister… That she can perform such powerful spells. Teleportation is not a spell that many can perform, and that is speaking of adult unicorns, for a filly to be able to comprehend such magic and to have the amount needed to perform it is astounding…” Celestia goes into deep thought.

“Yes, we agree sister, she is gifted beyond belief.” Luna agreed.

“…Are you sure you can handle her Luna?” Celestia asked.

“What do you mean by that?” Luna asked, a little peeved by the question.

“I’m just saying, maybe we should both teach her…” Celestia suggests.

“Celestia, sister, We are capable of teaching her alone, she came to be taught by us, not thou, and we would appreciate if you did not belittle our abilities as such.” Luna said lifting her muzzle disapprovingly.

“No, no, sister I did not mean it like that!” Celestia denies, putting her hoof in the air, as to dismiss the notion.

“Then what didst thou mean by it?” Luna asked displeased by the her sisters doubt.

“I just mean that it can be overwhelming, I would know.” Celestia notes.

“Listen sister, I can handle anything you can handle.” Luna was taking offense from it all, Celestia sees how heated this is become and decide to surrender, for now. “Yes, I understand Luna; I just hope you’re not teaching her anything wrong.” Celestia turned sideways, hoping that it’ll end their, with her sister agreeing with her.

“And what do you mean by wrong, Celestia?” Luna asked, now heated up more than ever, her anger displayed visibly on her features, and making no attempt to conceal it.

“Well… Teaching her anything that is against the law of Equestria, sister.” Celestia shot back, a little heated herself.

“First of all, she’s our student, and we shall teach her anything we wish to. Second of all, it’s a law that you put into motion.For co-ruler of Equestria, we do not find such a law appealing; knowing that you banned my element from being studied.“ Luna argued back.

“There is no need for such magic Luna, it only brings insanity to those who venture into it. Why would anyone in their right mind want to bring such destruction upon themselves?” Celestia argued back.

“You know that is not all true, there is more to it than just that.” Luna raises her voice.

“Like what Luna, like what?” Celestia ask, with an upset expression.

“There…” Luna could not reply, no comeback, came to her, to throw at her sister.

“Exactly, you know it as well as I what such magic can do to a pony mind, Luna.” Celestia regained her composure.

“It doesn’t matter Celly, you teach your students whatever you want to teach, and we shall teach ours however we desire.” Luna stood tall with her chest out.

“I can’t allow you to teach a filly like her, it is simply too much of a risk.” Celestia spoke sternly.

“I..” Luna paused, seemingly going deep into thought. ‘to teach a filly like her, why did she say it like that, wouldn’t she speak for all fillies, why would she say it like that…’

“Luna did you hear me?” Celestia spoke softly a little concerned by her sisters sudden pause. “I’m not going to stand by and let you do such a thing to her.”

Luna looks up at her sister. “Celestia that is not what you said at first.” Luna notes.

“What?” Celestia asked confused.

“You said that you ‘can’t allow me to teach a filly like her,’ and that ‘it’s too much of a risk.’ Why did you say it like that?” Luna asks, with a suspicious look toward her sister.

“Well I mean that it would be such a risk to her, a danger to her well-being.” Celestia retorts, sounding a little nervousness.

“That’s not how you said it at first sister, and not the way you said it too, as if you fear for her to learn such an art.” Luna said, walking closer to her sister. Celestia start to take a few step back.

“Of course Luna, I’m just worried for her well being, that is all.” Celestia tried to stand tall again.

“More like worried of her. And what happened to those who did study black magic?” Luna asked, still pressing forward.

“Why well… they are placed on trial for such an acts.” Celestia answered back.

“Really Celestia?” Luna asked.

“Yes really!” Celestia getting a little annoyed.

“You’re not lying to me are you?” Luna asked

“No, have I ever lied to you, for what reason would I have to lie to you about this?” Celestia retorts.

“… Okay sister, we shall take your word for it.” Luna responded.

“Now dear sister, if you would excuse me I have day court to attend to, we will continue on this subject later.” Celestia turned around and made her exit. Luna stood there for a minute, thinking over her sister words and gestures. Then the memory of last night flooded her thoughts, her eyes open wide as they possibly could. ‘Should I have told Celestia about last night… No I promised Violet I wouldn’t. I don’t even know what to think of it… They have been waiting for me to return, for a thousand years... They have been waiting for a thousand years… waiting.’ As she delves deeper in thoughts, she fails to notice the magic surge in the closet, and violet walking up to her.

“Princess Luna?” Luna jumped a little and looked down at the filly. She stares for a moment.

“Violet?” Luna spoke.

“Yes my Que- Princess Luna.” Violet jump a little.

“Don’t sneak up on us like that!” Luna raised her voice a little out of embarrassment at being startled.

“Sorry Princess Luna, but I grew worried, you looked distracted somewhat.” Violet explained.

“Yes we were.” Luna confessed.

“What is wrong Princess Luna.” Violet asks. “…I have so many questions…” Luna simply replied.

“Princess Luna?”

“Why did you all wait for us to return, and for so long.” Luna asked

“…” Violet pauses for a second. “It wasn’t easy for us, I already told you the history of how we settle in, but I have not told you the desperation that many ponies who wished to stand by your side again or for the very first time. You see many ponies desire to receive your blessing, the moon blessing. We knew it would take awhile for you to return, so a lot of ponies tried to expand their lifespans... It did not end well, many of them died from there on experiments, a lot changed themselves for the worst and live in the forest for it, and some went insane.” Violet explains calmly.

“You’re telling me that so many ponies suffered just to be by my side again?” Luna asks.

“No Princess Luna, not suffer, it’s an honor to serve you, to stand not just by you but for you, we did it in the name of our Queen Luna. So no, if you ask any of your people, they wouldn’t say suffer, they would say it’s was an honor, even if it pains us, we will stand by your side until the end, and beyond.” Luna moved to tears, although, she did not cry, tears steady fell to the ground. “Princess Luna, are you okay?”

“What should we do?” Luna asked in a whisper.

“Excuse me, Princess Luna?” Luna sniff a few more times.

“What should we do Violet; you have all been waiting for us to return, and not even me, more of Nightmare moon, and she is gone, so is my desire for eternal night. we wish not for war, but peace, and all you all have been preparing for is just that, war, war against my sister, against Equestria.” Luna asks staring in a depress daze.

“You misunderstand Princess Luna. Yes we waited for Nightmare moon, but she is you, as much as you are her, so we too waited for you. And we prepared ourselves not to just wage war against your sister and Equestria, but we prepared ourselves for whatever you may need us for. If you wish not for war, then we will not go to war, we only wish to have you back, to rule over us, as you once did.” Luna stood there, a smile starting to show on her face, she wiped a few tears from her eyes and cheeks.

“Where should we start?” She asked.

“You must show yourself to your people, they must know of your return, it will bring them great joy, and then you can speak upon what you wish for.”

“Yes that is a great plan, we shall do it in the even time.”

“Princess Luna, it would be better to do such a thing at midnight, twelve sharp, that is when the majority of the ponies are active.”

“At night?” Luna blurted confused at this statement.

“Why such a time, wouldn’t more ponies be up during the day time?”

“Yes in Equestria at least, but not in Lunar Republic. As I told you already, it’s night time there twenty four hours a day, and we only work during the real nighttime.” Violet informed.

“How can you get anything done when it is so dark?” Luna asks.

“There a spell that we all use, it’s a night vision spell. And the moon is always full.” Violet explains.

“Well then,we shall do it at midnight.” Luna states.

“That is great, it well be a night to remember, it will go down in history.” Violet spoke in joy.

“But we feel we should tell our sister about this”

“What, why, if she find out she’ll try to kill us!” The filly spoke in a frantic panic voice.

“No she won’t.” Luna spoke stern.

“Princess, please understand, she will not stand for such a place to existence. Please reframe from speaking of it to her.” Violet pleads.

“Dear Violet, even if she does, she has no right to interfere, the Lunar Republic is its own country altogether, and nowhere near Equestrian borders.” Luna tries to reason with Violet.

“That won’t stop her. She will fear it being a threat to her rule.” She’ll look at it as a place one is allows the casting of black magic, and she will fear her ponies will try to leave, and come to join the Lunar Republic to learn the art…” Violet continues to ramble on, trying to convince Luna to not inform her sister.

“Fine!” Luna cries out. “We will not tell-” Violet cut her off.

“Thank you for listing to reason Princess Luna.”

“You did not let us finish. we will not tell her for now. But in the near future, we will talk to her about this.” Violet relief fades away.

“…Okay Princess Luna, if that is what you wish to do, but when you decide to tell her, could you inform the Lunar government about it.” Violet pleads.

“Why? ” Luna asks.

“Just so they can know and be prepared in case of an attack.”

“That is okay.” Luna agrees.

“Thank you Princess Luna.” Violet bows.

“And beside we must question our sister on some of her actions during the time of our banishment.” ‘I just can’t believe that she would use the sunblessed to kill my followers. We cannot believe it until we hear it from her, she wouldn’t do such a thing, she couldn’t, it’s not in her nature. At most would be a trial and jail time.’

“Now let us go for a walk in the garden, we need some fresh air to clear our head, so much has happen in such a small amount of time.” Luna expressed.

“Yes Princess Luna,” she said as they walked through the door..
