The first thing I became aware was that I was laying on something soft and warm. It smelled... nice and clean.

So comfortable. I didn't want my brain to engage, but memories and thoughts came in by their own, pushing the soft fluffy half asleep state away.

Fight. Tirek.

Luna!

I jerked up, my eyes flashing open. I was in bed in our room. The door to the balcony was open so was the windows, the night outside was dark, lit by the stars and moon far above.

The room looked like it always did, lit by only a couple of lit candles.

“Page,” A voice said to my left and I twisted before smiling and feeling myself relax.

“Luna,” I breathed and shifted close to her, leaning against her side, first not noticing her wing across my back, “I'm so glad you are safe.”

“You are glad I'm okay?” She asked, raising a eyebrow as she closed the book she had been reading, leaning against me softly in turn, nuzzling at my ear, “You stupid, stupid pony,” she said softly and sniffled softly as she pressed her head against my neck, my coat turning wet, “I thought I lost you!”

“I thought I was going to lose you,” I answered quietly as I nuzzled at her mane, “I couldn't stand back anymore than you could if I was in danger.”

She let out a small breath against my mane in turn and just stayed like that, “Seeing you in his grasp like that...”

I leaned against her, resting my head against her neck. No words were needed. I was just so happy she was alright.

Luna shifted after a long moment and gave me a small soft kiss, “How are you feeling?”

“I'm fine,” I answered, shifting my legs, “I remember breaking a couple of bones, but I feel fine. How long was I out?”

“A couple of days, it took a lot out of you.”

I frowned and nodded, looking at my left frontleg, “Well, my compliment to the doctor. I can't even tell my leg was broken.”

Luna looked amused and nodded, “It did heal rather well.”

“How is everyone? Celestia? Cadence? Everyone else?”

She smiled at that, “They are all fine. I traded off with my sister to keep watch over you a couple of hours ago,” before she sighed, “There are some casualties and a lot of injuries, but things could have been a lot worse. He didn't go out of his way to kill anyone, thank the stars.”

“And Discord?”

“He has been nowhere to be seen since Tirek's defeat,” Luna explained before she pulled back and frowned down at me, “How did you manage it? We couldn't see.”

I smirked at that, “I took some help by Sunset Shimmer and shrunk as many swords and spears as we could as small as possible. I tied them as ornaments to my necklace. When he absorbed the magic, they returned to their real size.”

Luna stared at me for a long moment, “...You planned to get caught so he would drain you.”

“Mhmm.”

“...So that's what did it. You stupid, stupid pony. That was so risky.”

“Only thing I could think of. He protected his face when attacked by the guard, he still had weak spots.”

She shook her head and nuzzled at the base of my horn, “Stupid,” before she sighed, “And insanely lucky and brave.”

“I agree with the second one, “ I told her with a smile, “I'm with you, aren't I?”

That got a small giggle from her and she pulled back, “Hungry?”

I was about to say no, but my stomach disagreed and rumbled loudly enough to be heard somewhere over in the Crystal Empire.

“...Apparently, yes,” I admitted with a small cringe.

Luna nodded and jumped off the bed, “I'll send for something.”

Damn, now when she mentioned food, I was so hungry. The wing across my back shifted and I looked over at Luna as she headed towards the door.

What?

I turned my head and looked only to freeze and stare. Why do I have wings? They looked pegasus like. What in the actual...

I tried moving them. They kinda twitched.

Reaching up with my hoof, I touched my head. Yep, that was still a horn.

“I did wonder how long it would take before you noticed, My Page,” Luna said and jumped up to lay onto the bed next to me.

“I... uhm... wha... how?” I finally managed to ask as I stared at the wings.

Luna smiled and touched my chin, giving me a small kiss on the tip of my muzzle, “Remember when we talked about Alicorns and dark magic?”

I nodded.

“You tricked Tirek, My Page,” she explained softly as she looked into my eyes, “You created a world, a story. You lived your cutie mark and at that moment you embodied it. When Tirek died there was an extremely powerful magical surge as all the magic he had absorbed rushed out to return to where it came from. You were straight in the middle of all that magic.”

“Oh,” was all I could say, swallowing before I shook my head, “I... I think I'm going to lay down for a while.”

“You are laying down, love.”

“Oh. Goody.”
