Chapter 1

''Come little children, I'll take thee away, into a Land of Enchantment,'' Sang a Beautiful voice.

''Come little children, The times come to play, here in my Garden of Shadows.''

I jumped out of bed and went to the window of the orphanage I was living in.Hmmmm,that was odd,I thought,I swear I heard singing.I turned to return to bed, but, as I turned I ran into long legs. I looked up into the face of the Princess of the Night, who smiled. The shadows from the moon making it look evil. I bowed immediately.

''Your Highness,'' I squeaked.

She looked at me frowning. Not saying a word.

''Have I done something wrong, Milady,'' I squeaked again. I began to shake.

''No,'' She stooped gracefully in front of me ,as a princess would,and looked over me and stood again saying,''I will not harm thee, I promise.''

I looked up from my bowing position and once again the shadows engulfed her smile evilly.

''I promise,'' She repeated, holding her hoof out to comfort me. I winced as the warm hoof touched my cold coat.

''Your freezeing,'' she said, ''Come I will take thee to your bed.''

''Your Highness Why, if I may ask, are thee being so nice to me? A poor orphan a mother less and father less foal?''

''If I may ask, Why not?'' The royal sister replied.

''Luna, are you alright,'' Tia asked, trying to shake her sister awake.

Princess Luna sat up with a start, breathing deeply,and gasping for breath, and was being hugged? She pulled herself from the bed and was galloping to the window as Tia grappled Luna's tail with her magic.

''Where do you think your going,'' The older sister said.''It's the afternoon your still supposed to be asleep.''

'' I have to help h...,'' Luna stopped struggling  and Tia was able to pull the mare back.

''Who do you have to help?''

''Her, Her ,HER!!,'' Luna cried.

''Sister, Luna, calm down,'' Celestia hugged her sister and they stayed together, the elder and the younger.

''Luna,'' The tears had dried on Luna's fur and she stood with a sad expression, she walked to the balcony and saw the ponies relishing the day, it had been an hour at least.

''Luna, who? Who do you have to help?'' Celestia said quietly coming to stand beside her sister.

''Star Gazer, Sister,'' Luna said weakly.

''Star Gazer, What needed to be saved about her?''

''Do you not remember, Sister.''

''I do not.''

''What happened when I became Nightmare Moon, Sister, and tell the truth.''

Celestia took a deep breath, I should have told her sooner,

''Luna, Dear, Dear, Sister, What I'm going to tell you is not your fault, None of it,is, was, or will be your fault.Ever.''

Luna nodded.

''Yes, Sister.''
