[ Luna ] I've Been Searching For You

(A/N): This story was inspired by Centaurworld, specifically the two songs I've Been Searching For You and The Nowhere King Battle. I highly suggest watching the show if you haven't already! Although this can be read without context from My Star pt 1, this does have the setting in mind. I can't guarantee everything will align plot wise as I wrote My Star and this fic months apart, but it's about there.

Content Warnings: angst!!
Summary: After searching for years since the banishment of Prince Artemis, she was finally able to access a realm where she could see him. However, it seems like there's a third wheel intruding on their date...

The moonlight seeped through the windows of the hall, barely illuminating the long passageway. I walked close to the walls, my wing gently pressed up against it, a reassurance that I was going the right way despite the darkness. This wasn't the first time that I had made this trip from my room to his room. Artemis' room.

I heard the marching hoofsteps of a castle guard. I stifled a gasp, terrified of getting caught so late at night. My breath was caught in my throat as my gaze followed the passing guard, the golden armour glittering in the moonlight. When he passed by the hall I was in, I let myself breathe and continued on. Just a few doors away, I thought to myself.

I counted the doors I passed by until I made it to a grandiose entrance. In front of the door was the shape of a moon surrounded by stars, a product of the moonlight refracting through the translucent jewels that framed the door.

I flicked my ears around to listen for any guards, but I was only met with a welcoming silence. I took a deep breath then bolted, opening and closing the door within a flash. A wave of relief rushed through me now that I had escaped the stress of sneaking around, though it was quickly replaced with a different kind of anxiety.

I opened my satchel and pulled out a turquoise gem along with an ancient book. I set the items down on the floor in front of me, making haste to flip to the bookmark I had left. I crouched down and skimmed through the page, muttering the words in one last attempt to practice.

"You're ready..." I muttered to myself, getting up and shaking my mane to get any final nerves out. I encapsulated the gem with my magic, lifting it so that it met me at eye level. I closed my eyes and began the spell.

I feared my magic wasn't enough when not a single sign made itself known to me that it was working. I tried harder, put in extra effort to concentrate. Then, finally, a breeze blew around me, swirling at my mane and tail. It was working! The breeze grew stronger, though I made sure to brace myself against it.

One last gust of wind ruffled my feathers before it all came to a still. No, no, no! I began to panic that all my efforts had gone to a waste until I opened my eyes. It was like I was in an endless night sky. I looked down and noticed pools of turquoise light shining under my hooves.

Once I took in my environment, I made haste to search for the stallion I had done this all for. "Artemis!" I called out into the void.

No answer.

I tried again, "Artemis, where are you? You have to be here!"

Not a single sound.

My heart dropped. This was my only chance to see Artemis after his banishment to the moon. If this didn't work, what could I do? My eyes watered and my ears flattened against my head as I sat down in defeat. As a way to comfort myself, I tried to sing a song that Artemis and I had sung long ago. "You're okay... You're alright... I'll never, ever leave your side... I will stay..." My voice began to falter, "I will fight..."
