Sauron immediately got into his offensive position ready to change into his long lost wolf from to pin the intruder to a wall, but it would not benefit him. He was really curious how did Princess Luna arrive and wasn’t detected by him, he needed to know it or else she can be a potential threat to his plans. However in the night she as a pony was really charming and very beautiful looking, too bad she isn’t a Maia or Eldar, maybe he would spare her life.

Of course things like this couldn’t touch him, for him they all were animals and the creations of one of the Vala. Maybe he would even let her be used by the steeds that the Nazgûl are using; she would be in the Halls of Mandos right there. However he wished there was someone with such hair in Middle-Earth.

Luna now was gently approaching Sauron that was still in his offensive position looking if she doesn’t prepare any sort of spell to cast on him, he followed her magic flow and the magic here was softer, than the magic in Middle-Earth that was way harder and more powerful compared to what Discord can do. She indeed was a charming pony, even he had to admit it but still his morals were by him telling him that she is just a horse that will die sooner or later.

“It is not nice making a Mare waiting for an answer, Lord Sauron.” she started and sat on the floor in front of him.

He changed his attitude and was now passive towards her, indeed it’s not nice to make a lady wait for an answer, and the same is with making a lady wait for a man while he is doing something. But he has nothing to tell her about what she could not know, other than that he is an evil Dark Lord, waiting for them to turn their backs and give him an opening to attack them.

“Indeed, but can I know why you came here Princess Luna?” Sauron asked and she only with a smile answered his question.

“Well the reason for it is that I want to know you better, Lord Sauron.” She answered and waited for his part when he answers her question.

“Well then I’m honored that you want to know me better, I can only imagine how many stallions would be jealous right now. If they found out such a pretty mare want to socialize with a stranger rather than them…” He said with a charming tone to make her mind softer.

Luna blushed a little indeed charmed by his words, she didn’t expect so kind compliment from Sauron. But she still was angry because of her lost games, and she is going to have a little fun with him. Luna however still wanted an answer to what exactly is a Palantír.It sounded as if it was a name of an object or artefact, maybe even a weapon and it sounded really interesting as an item from her RPG games she played.

“Well I’m still waiting…” She said now a little angry because Sauron is avoiding the answer.

“A Palantír is an artefact that you should know about… and actually I’m concerned why you don’t know what it is. I can understand that this can be a land that has not heard of my continent but still the Palantíri are known to all alive beings.” He finished his sentence and Luna just looked at him with interest.

“Well I can assure you I didn’t hear about the Palantíri as you call them, and definitely this isn’t a secret continent because there are only a few on Equis.” She said and Sauron Raised an eyebrow now scared a little about where he is.

“What do you mean by Equis?” He asked and Luna with pride answered his question in a way a smart person would answer a question of a stupid peasant.

“Well, It’s the planet, It’s called Equis. But in your country it can be called with a different name.” She said, slowly thinking that Sauron is not from their world.

And indeed she was right, Sauron was not from her World and she definitely would not want to meet his world. Well at least not when the first, second and third age were there, right now in the fourth age she would be greeted by Kingdom of Gondor under Aragorn and Elves that slowly are starting to depart to a distant land of Aman to live their eternal lives. The dwarfs would slowly be closing their Cities and have little interaction with the Kingdoms of man.

“Is this… world a sphere by any mean?” Sauron asked concerned.

Luna just looked at him and answered the dumbest Question ever “Well of Course not! It’s a big ball in the space, and what do you think?” She answered.

Sauron’s world just turned upside down, the Mare before him was just saying that the world here was a big Ball in space and universe covered in stars, Arda was a sphere and nothing could change that. Only Eru Ilúvatar the God creator can change that and maybe the Valar with other Maiar if they would use their strength. But from the information that he received, he was currently in another world and that is something impossible.

“That’s… That’s impossible, this has to be Arda and my world is a sphere! I saw how it turned into one!” He yelled was concerned about his return to his world.

Luna now was a little scared because of Sauron’s behavior; if she has to she will use one of her spells to make him fall asleep so that he won’t do anything stupid. Of course Luna never heard of something called Arda that was probably the name of the whole world in Sauron’s culture. And she never heard about the Palantíri, and from what Sauron says they are really popular things that every living creature knows of.

“How is this possible… you need to show me the maps. Maybe this is some pocket dimension he has created and no one knows of…” Sauron said referring to the God creator but Luna just looked at him as if he was mentally ill.

“It’s late night, I can’t just show you the maps that are in Cadence’s room.” Luna said concerned about who was Sauron talking about.

“Princess Luna, I would really like to see them. I understand it’s night, but if I will maybe recognize any island that I know of maybe then I will be safe and not be in a different universe or even World” He said really hoping and using his skills to convince Luna.

“Are you saying you are from another world? You are a different species and all but another world?” She was asking him hoping for any answer and she really was now interested in helping him get the maps.

Sauron just let out a sight and said Yes Princess Luna, did you ever hear of the War of wrath or theValar and Maiar? The Ainur or Eru Ilúvatar?” he asked her and now Luna was really interested in the conversation with Sauron.

Indeed she didn’t ever hear of these names and things Sauron said about, Sauron is also a different species and was “Teleported” away because of his enemies. So technically he can be from another world, she really sometimes wished Twilight was next to her. And he really seemed to be on a very different level when it did come to size and strength, not only this but his own Kingdom called Mordor was not so friendly.

‘Maybe… he is just like Sunset… lost and wants to go back’ She thought debating if she should help him to find the maps.

“Princess Luna, please help me. You seem to be the kindness from all the rulers I met yet.” He complimented her saying not only the truth but also hoping he will convince her to help him.

Luna blushed a little and with a smile said. “We do not need maps, I know a spell that can show you the land.” she said and her horn was now glowing with a blue aura.

She then shoot a beam at the floor and the floor was now covered in a mist that slowly formed the land and the seas by having different shades of blue. Sauron indeed was impressed that she knows such a useful spell and maybe she has more abilities that could prove useful in the future. The mist slowly formed into a map with all continents and all Islands.

“And, Do you recognize any of it?” Luna asked and Sauron only looked at the map.

He didn’t see anything familiar other than some things remind him of Middle-earth and older memories. He was angry because of it, not only was he transported to another world no one knows about. But also because of his death he may even not return ,and what’s worse he can’t do anything to get back if Eru Ilúvatar imprisoned him here.

“No.” he said blankly and his voice turned evil and sinister when he said that.

Luna shivered a bit but asked him a very simple question. “So you are from a different world?”

Sauron just was nodding and with hatred he answered, “Yes.” He nodded again.

Luna now was really uncomfortable around Sauron, not only she heard his hatred in his tone but also she could feel the magic around him getting thicker and thicker, but Luna for some reason felt bad because of it.She really wanted to know Sauron better, and now she not only was greeted with the information that he is a traveler from a distant world, but also managed to make him angry and he will probably want to go to sleep.

Sauron on the other hand, as now thinking if this isn’t a sign or something. Maybe this is his new mission here. Could have Morgoth his master do this and not Eru Ilúvatar? It was very unlikely but he still is going to be loyal even if he has to rebuild everything from the beginning. But when he thought about it he really felled bad for some reason saying that he wanted to stay loyal.

“Are you okay?”

But at the same time he could not just betray his Master and the most powerful Vala from all of Eru Ilúvatars children. If he becomes a traitor then who would want to give one a chance in life when they know he is going to betray them. He could always try and prey to Eru Ilúvatar,he would not do it but he had to get answers and maybe he will get them.

“Lord Sauron... Are you…”

But what will he do when he won’t answer his prayers, he would be left alone in a world full of colorful ponies that all they care about is their own interests.He from the hate towards the main enemy but also the father of all Ainur including him, he would rebuild Mordor on the soil of this world again deceiving everyone and corrupting the Hearts of many.

“Crying?” Luna said in a very concerned voice and wanted to Hug him but he heard that and snapped awake.

“Wha-*Sniff* no,no, it’s just something in my eye.” He said and actually wiped his tears away.

He did never cry, it was the first time he actually did. It as really strange for him, he never felt sad about anything or anyone and he didn’t. He really wanted to stop but for some reason he continued and eventually he had to give up and cry himself out in front of a girl. As if the world couldn’t be more merciful and just let him stop but instead made him cry even more.

“Strange.” He said and got Lunas attention “I’d never cried in my entire life.” he said and now Luna was really shocked with his statement.

“It can’t be… you had to when you were a foal.” she said and then he looked at her with his orange eyes that were really drilling through her soul.

“I wasn’t born… I was created.”

Luna now could not believe something like this, she knew that only angels, demons, spirits or any other being were created to aid but even the divines were born at some point. But it could not be that such a powerful person like Sauron with also a very handsome muscular body and yes he was really s-No we are not going that way Luna… naahh.

“Do you want me to leave?” she asked and was ready to live him, she expected an answer such as “yes” or “That’s a good idea” but she was greeted with something other than that .

“No” Sauron said and now entered his room and with his own presence there all candles lighted up.

She was surprised by the skill he possessed and also she was more surprised about his answer, she was beginning to think if he likes her company. Of course she for some reason also liked to spend time with him even though she barely knows him, as if a weird force was saying that he is someone good and he can be trusted or even more.

“As you wish Lord Sauron however I won’t be here for long because I have to attend my royal duties”. she said and Sauron sat on a chair and looked at her with an raised eyebrow.

“But you are not in your country so how do you want to do it?” he asked concerned and she happily answered.

“Well I need to defend my subjects by defending them from nightmares” she answered and Sauron now was interested to know more, Luna wasn’t surprised

“What do you mean? Can you enter others dreams?” He asked and when Luna wanted to say that he is right he cut her off and said “…Because I can do that too.” he said and Luna's eyes winded.

“R-really?” she asked. “And yes that’s what I can do.” she said now happy that maybe she found a potential companion to fight off nightmares.

“It seems that we have something in common, you said princess that you came here to know me better?” He said and Luna nodded in approval “So let’s talk then… what do you want to know?” He asked politely with a smile looking as if he just forgot about his situation.

Luna was slightly driven off because of this but she asked him basic questions. “Uhmmm… how old are you?”

Sauron just grinned and got comfortable, when he was ready he replied “I’m so old I don’t even remember my age.” he said slightly sad.

Luna couldn’t understand how something like this is even possible, she understands people that are in amnesia to not remember their age. But Lord Sauron is not in a amnesia and he definitely had many birthday parties to remind him how old he is.Not only that, he definitely was married by looking at his ring and he must have remembered the age when he got married.

However thinking like this made Luna sad insider of her, that he was married made her sad for some reason. But then it had a little happiness. She didn’t know why she was ad because their guest had a family in his world, but it also made her happy that maybe Lord Sauron is happy. She really finned it strange to think about it, maybe when he sleeps she will find out more?

‘What is wrong with me’ she thought and looked sad and concerned, Sauron saw that and raised an eyebrow thinking if his answer was wrong.

“Is something wrong Princess Luna?” he asked and sounded concerned but in reality he wasn’t.

Luna snapped “N-No e-everything is okay” she said and prepared to ask another question “Do you have a moon in your world?” she asked.

“Of course, however it wasn’t there from the beginning.” He said and he got Lunas attention.

“What do you mean not from the beginning?” She asked him now really curious with a smile.

Sauron just grinned and responded .“Well, If you would want understand it I would have to tell you the story of how my world was created.” And with a light chuckle he ended but Luna didn’t give up and was attacking him with pleads.

“Please Lord Sauron tell me…” she pleaded and Sauron just blankly said “No.”

“But lord Sauron I will understand it!” she exclaimed but Sauron again said “No” and continued with.

“I will tell you all who I am and how my world works tomorrow, when all of us will be in one place and then maybe you will all tell me about your world.” He said with a smile and soft voice petting Luna a little behind the ear and she liked it.

“Ok… I understand.” She said with a sigh and was about to say goodbye but then an idea appeared in her head.

“Lord Sauron, if you can walk in someone’s dreams. Then maybe would you like to accompany me tonight and together fight the nightmares of my subjects?” she asked and was really hoping for Sauron to say yes.

Sauron saw this and he saw her yes remind him of children always excited to get something or do something interesting. He looked into them and he really liked the light blue color of them, however accompanying this mare can prove beneficial to his future plans. And besides that, he actually enjoyed her company. Who knows maybe he will corrupt her last or even kill for being so nice and friendly toward him. Besides he was interested to get as many information about this world as possible.

“I would gladly, I’m sure your subjects would fight for something like this.” He said with big smile and confident voice.

Luna of course accepted the compliment that really felt warm “Ohh yes there are some ponies that would fight for this” she said and then continued with a question “And how do you enter the world of dreams?” she asked curious

“I just “fall asleep” and concentrate that my spirit can enter it… why do you ask, and most importantly where should we meet, Princess Luna.” He explained and Luna nodded.

“Let’s meet in front of the palace.” She said and Sauron agreed with it.

And so with that both Sauron and Luna prepared to enter the dream world, Luna had to get back to her new room and fall asleep in order to do it.Sauron on the other hand just sat in his chair and supported his head with his hand, and started to ascend into the dream world to meet princess Luna and together fight off the nightmares of her subjects. Not only will he have time to explore the city but also to socialize with Luna,but to get some knowledge of the princesses that-As he assumed- are indeed charmed by words.

-----Lunas chamber---

She felled so strange after she talked with Sauron, she was slightly nervous now to travel together with him and alongside him defeat the nightmares of her subjects. Not only that but the compliments were really warm and she really enjoyed it, she really was interested by his world and culture and to help him get back.

She didn’t mess around and she jumped on her bed to then quickly try and enter the dream space to find Sauron already waiting there for her. She wondered if he will look the same or if he will take a different form while in the dream world, she rather would prefer to him as he is now, with his torn apart clothes revealing his muscular body.

And with a light blush on her face she entered the dream world to meet with Sauron…

-----Flurry Heart----

For Flurry Heart it was a really strange day and she definitely wanted to see what happened to Lord Sauron and why her parents forbid looking what happened and why he fought with Discord. She really wanted to also ask him questions about where he came from and ask about his country and traditions. And what’s even more important she wanted to ask him if he would attend to the grand galloping gala in two months.

She really also wanted to ask him if she is the first Alicorn he met, and if she is the first pony he saved, she had so many questions that he promised to answer. She also remembered more of his titles and especially she wanted to ask him if he is a necromancer. From what she knows and her aunt Twilight told her necromancy is illegal in the Crystal Empire and Equestria because it is a dark magic.

But she knew that she will have a chance to ask him things only when the castle will be repaired and when she will be allowed by her parents to ask. She didn’t like it and she really wanted to rebel against them like most of her friends in the school. But she loved them so much she could not do it,and she really wanted to be nice and all but she needed freedom.

Flurry Heart was trying to sleep but she could not doit and she didn’t find a good stuffed animal to her sleep, she really had about two hundred of them in her room that was painted pink and also had some blue or white in it.Flowers were on the window and she had three wardrobes with different kinds of dresses and clothes for special events.

She had a small balcony and most ofher mirror s for makeup times were at least two times bigger than her for a good view of herself, she had a decent lamp that was made out of gold and ad some silver like addictions. Overall her room wasn’t to great but in the end in the day it was rather beautiful and very girl like. Her bed was massive and was transported straight from saddle arabia and had very comfortable silk bed sheets.

“Why can’t I sleep.” she asked herself and levitated a pillow to hug it.

She had an idea to maybe call Princess Luna and ask her to cast a spell that makes you go to sleep. However she could always call her mom or dad and tell them she can’t sleep and she can’t find a reason why, other than excitement to ask Sauron about who he is exactly and what is a Maiar as he called himself.

‘Maybe I should try to cast a spell myself’ she thought and decided that it is a good idea.

So she sat on her bed and her horn started to glow, she then thought about dreams and sleep and her pink aura changed to purple. After that she casted the spell just like a protection spell, this meant to concentrate on herself and release it.And when she did it a little boom of purple-blue of light erupted from her horn and she immediately fell over on the pillows and was asleep,while some sparks similar to snowdrops were falling down…

----Dream world----

Luna was waiting for Sauron in front of the Crystal palace and she really wanted to see if he will look differently or the same. She really was looking forward to even become friends with Sauron,maybe she will also find someone to play games with her, other than children and some teenage stallions doing nothing their entire time at home.

But for some reason Sauron didn’t show up, she begin to think that he lied to her to make her goaway but at the same time, she felled that he is going to show up but maybe he has troubles in entering the dream world. She wanted to go and maybe help him somehow ,or at least see if he didn’t accidently fall asleep.

But then indeed a little flame was beginning to form in front of her…

First it was just a little flame as if someone used a matchstick to have a flame. It was also covered by an light smoke layer and he light from it wasn’t shining too much. But then the flame was growing bigger and bigger and with it the smoke covering it. It was slowly getting bigger than her head and from the looks of it the smoke then changed places with the fire.

Now from the smoke that now resembled a line of darkness the fire was coming out of it forming and tear like shape, but more resembling an eye. Not only that but it was growing bigger and bigger, it made Luna scared and she thought for a moment it’s actually a nightmare or a monster that roams in the dreamworld.She was preparing to fly away from it but as she tried she was pinned by a force know to her, she could not fly any more or stand only look at the bigger and bigger flame now really looking like a giant eye.

She was really scared and was now thinking if Sauron was cut of by that thing and it’s the reason whySauron didn’t show up to dream fight the nightmares with her. Besides she even tried to go back to her body and wake Sauron up but she was blocked. She was really scared now but something similar to Sauron was in this giant flaming eyes now almost big as two houses or a very big villa.

“S-Sa..u-uron?”*cute sniff*she asked in a very thin and quiet whisper and a small sniff.

Then the force holding her to the ground left her and she had the strength to stand again, she wanted to fly away but then the yes as if was collapsing on itself and the dark apple of the eye was now forming into a familiar and tall person she just talked with. When it was absorbed she indeed saw how he was standing there and some light was coming of him and he was covered by a shadow. Then out of nowhere he exploded and the flames again formed the eye but with him in the middle.

And then slowly the flames were swallowed by his body, she could see how his body was slowly replaced by the flames. She could also see how the flames together with the smoke and shadows were forming and increasing his size. She already knew it was him who managed to scare her and almost make her cry, she was really heartbroken but at the same time she felt said and betrayed because of it.

The fire and shadows and smoke almost vanished completely and slowly his form was being revealed to her, she could see that he was wearing an armor and it looked similar to dragon scales. She also saw that on his right hand he still had his ring and it was glowing in a strange language just like the circle that followed Sauron when she first met him.

He was also wearing a crown with no jewels on them, it reminded her of her crown made out of special dark iron to resemble her night sky.Probably the same was with his one that was meant for battle just like now where he can lose it with jewels and regret he lost it, while losing a plain and blank still one only to show off won’t be a big loss to him or the kingdom

She was angry and she wanted to yell at him for doing something like this to a lady. But then she was looking at him and how the flames now we're revealing his face that she didn’t want to be angry and maybe it was just a prank.

When he was in front of her and she saw how he was looking at her with regret and concerned eyes, she really could not be angry at him for the rest of the night. Not only it would be foolish but also he was already thinking how to apologize for what he did. And indeed he was thinking how to apologize because he knew he crossed the line and it will not be beneficial in his plans.

So he played it cool and confident and used his charm and skill in diplomacy to excuse himself…

“I’m sorry.” he said and hand his head, after that he proceeded to help get Princess Luna on her hooves.

When she was on her hooves she wanted to say something but Sauron kneeled and hold one of her hooves in his hand, Luna blushed a little because she didn’t know what to expect.

“Wha-why are yo-”

”I-I just can’t to hold myself, I really like to dominate pretty girls.” He ran his fingers over her mane, “Again I-I’m really sorry.” He said while looking into her eyes, even if he had to ignore his morals to do this.

And that’s how Sauron managed to turn a blueberry into a strawberry…

Edit 2018: I look at this chapter, and I think to myself, what was wrong with me? The end is really cringy. I might rewrite it. It doesn't go along with my idea for the story that I have. But maybe I will do something out of this, will be really rude for Sauron to say but I might use this line to break a heart.

Raistlin Phantom has edited this chapter, give him some love.
