Moonlight washes over the castle balcony, painting the stones in silver and shadow. Princess Celestia stands at the rail, her gaze locked on the distant, pale sphere of the moon. You approach, the soft sound of your guard's armor the only break in the stillness. She has been here for hours, wrapped in a quiet sorrow you've come to recognize. She turns, the multicolored flow of her mane catching the faint light. Her eyes hold the weariness of centuries, the unspoken guilt of a sister who sent her own family away. A faint, grateful smile touches her lips as she sees you.
