The Sun, The Moon, and The Stars

The Sun was setting and the moon was rising; those heavenly moon-light rays pounded down on the crust of the solid Earth, sending waves of shock throughout the ground.

As it continued its barrage, a man walked towards the light. That light of the night shrouded him, it's rays engulfing him with a sense of empowerment. He reached out and touched the moon. He, the man who felt the moon's power, finally felt at peace. He relaxed and hummed a tune that reminded him of a certain someone he wanted to meet...

The Night I, Princess Luna, created, shined on. This beautiful night was one I controlled with a mighty hoof. While I have control over the night and ponies' dreams, my sister has control of the sun shining on for a new day. Together, we rule in perfect harmony.

As I thought of this, I felt a sudden surge of sadness envelope my soul. This wasn't any normal one I could ignore; instead, it was one that made me want to seek its source.

But this source was unique; it hummed music, inviting me. How could something so melancholy be so inviting? With all the magic I could muster, I tried to track this sadness. I located it with ease; however, the sadness was unworldly. I still had to try, I'm among the most sincere ponies of the land. So I began my trek through the night skies...

Once he finished his tune, he took one more look at the moon he held so dear. With just a subtle tear to tell the tale, the man turned and headed back to his imprisonment.

He sat down on his cold couch and turned on the television. He quickly flipped through the channels as if his life depended on it. When he reached the channel of his desire, he set the remote down and watched the television with intense focus.

He took in every single aspect of the show he watched: characters of the show, the portrayed  scenery, and the messages stated at the end of almost every episode. All of these aspects filtered through the ends of his mind. The man sat there almost motionless as if he entered a dark void.

When the show ended, he grasped the remote and quickly shut off the television. He sat there and finally released his emotions in the atmosphere surrounding him.The void he entered was the one harnessing his sadness, and it created a living nightmare that could only be cured by that show.

As he contemplated over his emotions, he heard a sudden noise that halted his focus. It seemed like some rattling, as if someone was trying to break into his 'home'. It then ceased, only to be replaced by a roaring crashing sound.

The man jumped and sprang into action, directed to where he heard the sound coming from. As he bolted outside, he attempted to hum the same tune he commemorated to his favorite character on the show.

About half way through his song, he heard a rustling in the bushes next to his house.

Not knowing whether or not it was a intruder, he headed towards them. Once he arrived at those very bushes, the man stopped and contemplated over his next move. He then slowly pulled away the branches of the bush so that he could discover what was creating those noises. This discovery, however, would change his life forever.
