You opened your eyes and looked to see yourself on top of some clouds during a starry night sky with a full moon above.
(Y/N): "Where am I? How did I get here?'" You wondered. "Am I dead or have I fallen asleep? I should look around to figure this all out." You said and began to walk around. As you walked around, you heard a noise which sounds like crying.
(Y/N): "Is that crying? Who could it be?" You asked yourself. "I should see who that is." You said and started walking towards the source of where the crying is coming from.
You found who is crying and looked to see a dark blue woman.
(Y/N): 'Who is that?' You thought then looked carefully at the woman and noticed she had wings and horn which made your eyes widen in surprise. 'She has both a horn and wings! Is she an ari?'
You looked carefully at the ari girl and she had dark blue skin, moderate blue hair, cyan eyes, light blue eye-shadow and her Cutie Mark is a white crescent moon with a black background.

Ari Girl: "T-Tia

Ari Girl: "T-Tia...I-I'm sorry for being jealous. I...I want to come home. I want to see you again Tia! I...I miss you!" She cries which made your heart ache.
(Y/N): 'What's up with her? Why's she crying?' You thought before remembering what she said. "Tia, who is Tia? Wait...Tia...Celestia...Oh! Then she must be Luna! I remember Celestia telling me about her when we met up! But how can this be? Was she at the party? If so then what is this place? So...does that mean I'm dreaming? It'd make sense if I were. It doesn't matter right now because she needs help.' You thought and slowly approached the ari girl.
You went up to the ari girl as she cried and decided to be delicate on this.
(Y/N): "Hey there, what's the matter?" You asked the ari girl who looks at you with an surprised expression.
Princess Luna: "W-who are you? H-how did you get here?"
(Y/N): "My name is (Y/N) and I take it you're Princess Luna?"
Luna gasps when she heard you say her name.
Princess Luna: "H-How do you know my name?"
(Y/N): "Princess Celestia told me about you when I had a talk with her awhile back. Are you really her sister?"
Princess Luna: "...Yes I am." She said with a sadden expression which turned into surprised when she noticed you were bowing to her.
(Y/N): "My apologizes Princess. I did not know you were royalty." You joke which earned a little heartily giggle from Luna.
Princess Luna: "It's all right."
(Y/N): 'At least this made her feel better.' You thought with a small smile before getting serious. "Princess Luna, I've read about the Girl in the Moon and know of your imprisonment and I know Celestia's side of the story. Now I want to hear yours."
Princess Luna: "You want to listen to my side of the story?" She asked surprised.
(Y/N): "I think that's why I'm here. This might be some sort of dreamscape or something that is allowing us to meet so I want to help you."
Princess Luna: "R-Really? You want to help me?"
(Y/N): "Yes. I do. I want to help you so please, tell me everything."
Princess Luna: "...Okay. I'll tell you everything. A long time ago, me and my older sister, Celestia ruled Equestria together while we both had another duty and that was to raise and lower the sun and moon. My sister would raise the sun to bring the day and she would lower it so I could raise the moon to bring the night and lower it so that my sister could raise the sun again. We continued this cycle for a long time but as time went on, everybody would praise my sister for all the hard work she's done but never notice any of the work I've done." She said sadly at the end.
(Y/N): "Did you tell your sister about this?"
Princess Luna: "I tried to but she would always be busy with her duties as princess and whenever she did listen to me, she didn't take me seriously and she thought all people were giving me the same respect and praise they were giving her."
(Y/N): "Oh...I'm sorry to hear that."
Princess Luna: "I tried and tried to get Everyone to notice me and praise me the same way they do for my sister but they wouldn't notice or praise me at all and my sister was too busy focusing on her duties to even notice how miserable I was. I kept all of these negative thoughts and feelings to myself which was a mistake because it caused her to be born."
(Y/N): "Her? You mean..."
Princess Luna: "Yes. All of the negative thoughts and feelings I repressed lead to darkness being born in my heart and in my one moment of weakness, the darkness took over me. That darkness is Nightmare Moon."
(Y/N): "Oh Celestia..."
Princess Luna: "When my sister confronted Nightmare Moon, I tried to reach out to her but Nightmare Moon's hold on me was too strong and in the end, my sister chose to seal me and Nightmare Moon away into the moon." She said and started to cry again. "I've been trapped here for nearly a thousand years with nobody besides Nightmare Moon and all she has done is torment me. I...I feel so alone." She said as she cried.You stood there for a moment in silence until you hugged Luna which made her gasp in surprise.
Princess Luna: "W-What?"
(Y/N): "Princess Luna, I am so sorry for everything that has happened to you. You were just a confused girl who didn't feel appreciated and just wanted somepony to acknowledge you and praise you for everything you've done for them." You said as you comforted Luna.
You felt bad for Luna as she just wanted to be acknowledged and be known that she does matter and ended up giving into her darkness which resulted in her being sealed away in the moon with no one else but her dark half tormenting her and breaking her down.
(Y/N): "Say Princess." You said which got her attention. "What if I told you that your sister is willing to forgive you for what you've done and is waiting for you to return." You tell the princess which made her eyes widen in response.
Princess Luna: "What are you talking about?! There's no way my sister would forgive me so easily!"
(Y/N): "You're wrong. You shouldn't underestimate the love of family and I know your sister will forgive you. Maybe your sister realized that she should have been there for you and regrets everything that happened between you two a thousand years ago and now she wants to make things right with you and hopes to be a family with you again.
Princess Luna: "How can you be so sure? What proof do you have?"
(Y/N): "My talk with her is all the proof I needed. She told me how much she wants to see you again. She wants her little sister to come back. Everyday since your banishment she's been looking up at the sky with a depressed expression. She even sealed up a tower in Canterlot just so she could cry and let her emotions out about how much she misses you."
Luna didn't know what to think. Here was a complete stranger who told her that her sister has forgiven her and has been missing her dearly. She was then convinced that her sister still loved her and she didn't want to hurt her. Then she felt her which made her tremble in fear.
Princess Luna: "S-she's coming..." She said which made you confused at her until you realized who she meant.
(Y/N): "You mean..."
Princess Luna: "It's her! Nightmare Moon!"
Then an a plume of purplish-blue mist appeared and slowly took shape of a human. It's Luna's inner darkness, Nightmare Moon! Nightmare Moon has black skin, hair that had purplish-blue color to it, cyan eyes and her Cutie Mark is similar to Luna's but hers is a light blue crescent moon with a purple background and her wings looked like they belonged to an imp or a bat.
