A Faraway Land.

Chapter 8

A Night with the Moon

As I sat on the wing. I leaned back and used my arms to prop myself. I looked up at the sky. The full moon was bright. It complemented the stars as they sparkled. As I took a deep breath. I sat back up resting my arms on my knees. I looked to my left to see a large horse. She had a beautiful dark blue coat. Her mane and tail a similar color, but different than all the others I have seen. They sparkled like the stares in the night.

"The nights are beautiful here." I broke the silence. "So... Luna. I am curious. How much do you know about my dreams?"

"Everything." She replied. "From the first moment you slept."

"How?..." I asked in a slightly irritated voice. Feeling like my privacy was invaded.

"The night is my domain. I know all that happens in the night." She paused awaiting my next question.

"Then why did you wait to make your presence known?"

"When I was in your first dream. I felt a strong and powerful dark magic. As I watched you; I saw you reject the magic. You held onto what you knew and loved." Luna's blank expression turned to one of kindness and love. "In your second dream. You turned to the dark magic. It fueled your rage to your kind. As you wanted to kill all who you knew. Your love saved you for one last time. It was then the magic started to fade in the darkness." Luna looked at me as I remembered my friends and family. "Tonight; when I came to you. The magic that was once flowing in your blood. Is nothing more than a faint presence."

"So... You know everything there is to know about me." I threw out a random guess about her magic.

"Yes. When I connect to a dream; pony or human. I can look into their thoughts."

"So then tell me... You already know what I think about the dreams. What is your opinion?" I looked at Luna awaiting a response.

"I don't think you will be the last human we see." Luna stands up and spread her large wings. "You should talk to Twilight. Help her understand your feelings for what you lost." Luna jumped in the air and flew off.

I hopped off the wing and watched as Luna flew away. As she flew out of my sight. I made my way back to Twilight's library. I dragged my feet the whole way. Thinking on what I was going to do next. As I cleared the tree line. I looked back up to the sky. I see a wall of clouds in the distance.

"A storm is coming..." I said to myself

I made my way to the front door of Twilight tree. The lights where still on. I reach my hand out to knock on the door. I was about to knock as the door swung open.

"James! I was so worried about you! Are you okay!?" Twilight asked while pulling me inside.

"I'm fine. we just talked."

"What did you and Princess Luna talk about?" She looked on in amazement.

"We talked about the dreams I have been having." As I thought about what Twilight said. "Wait... Princess?"

"Yes. She is princess of the night." Twilight looked at me with a sad look. "You knew me longer. Why could you not talk to me?"

"I don't know. I think she already knew about everything." I turned to walk up the stairs as twilight followed.

"I have good news for you!" Twilight sounded excited as she followed me. "I am going to take you to Rarity's tomorrow. We are going to get you some new clothes."

"That will be great Twilight." I said as I sat down on the side of my bed. "I am kinda tired. So i am going to bed." I took my boots off and laid back.

"Okay. We can talk more tomorrow."Twilight said with an excited tone. As she got back in her bed. We both drifted off to sleep.
