When they arrived, he was escorted by eight guards to a small room where he was utterly alone. After what seemed like age’s a guard in black armor entered

“this way” he ordered.

Jack followed obediently until they were climbing the stairs of a dark tower, then he got worried and asked

“Where are you taking me?” His voice was shaky and unsure.

“I am to take you to Luna.” He replied.

At this Jack relaxed only slightly cautiously inching up the spiral stairs.

Once they arrived at the top Jack found himself in a very dark throne room.

“Hello Jack.” A sweet, and calm voice rung from the blackness.

“H-hello…” jack was on edge not sure where the speaker was.

“I do apologies for you, eh, forceful trip here…” the voice called.

“What do you mean? I came here of my own free will.” He chimed.

“Not that, your ‘landing’ I mean.” Luna said as she walked into his view her night sky mane flowing at her side, she had none of her ‘royal gear’ on at that time.

“What do you have planned for me?” he asked.

“Not important right now” she assured him. “For now you need to rest, I need you awake tonight."

“What for?” he asked getting annoyed.

“You will find out soon enough” she promised. He was indeed too tired to try to argue with her.

“Where will I be sleeping?” he wondered aloud.

“In my bed chambers.” She told him.

To this Jack blushed, Luna saw this and hastily told him.
“I have many rooms in my bed chambers! I do not wish anything of that sort I swear!” she was now blushing.

Jack laughed and told her. “It’s okay, I figured.”

Luna giggled as well. Jack then excused himself from the room to get some rest.

When he awoke it was pitch black out his window, he put his over coat on and went out onto the balcony attached to the room.

“Good evening” Luna said. Standing out there waiting for him.

“So what do you have for me to do?” he asked expecting that that’s why he wasn't in a dungeon.

“I wish to –if you would allow it – integrate you into this lands population.”

“’integrate’?” He asked.

“Yes, you may do this in any way you can think of.”

“Well I was planning to join the army in my world, when I came of age…” he at that moment for the first time since he got here really thought of home.

He then felt instantaneously home-sick. Luna notices this in his eyes and asks.

“Whatever is wrong?”

“My mother, my sister, my friends, how can I go on without them?” he moaned.

“You are concerned about your family?” she guessed.

“Yeah… but its more than that, are they concerned about ME?” he looked to the ground as he said this.

After a long pause Luna broke the silence.

“Do you know how long you've been gone?” Luna asked.

“Not a clue…” he said.

Luna had a pitying look on her face, but Jack was too gloomy to notice. There was another long silence as they looked to the sky.

“Beautiful night…” Jack finally said.

“Thank you.” Luna replied. “What?” Jack asked confused.

“I raise the moon every night” Luna explained. “I am in charge of dreams, the night, the moon, and the stars”

“well I can’t say I’m surprised… with all that’s been happening…” Jack said.

“Have you decided on what you will do?” Luna asked.

“I want to blend in as much as possible while I’m here, so I guess I if it’s possible will become one of you.” Jack wreathed at the thought if something were to go wrong.

“I will call discord…” Luna seemed upset about something.
