Luna waswrapped in a golden aura, the source of this was Celestia's horn that was glowing in the same golden aura. Luna didn’t want to wake up earlier, so Celestia decided to wake her up. Besides that while she was doing that, the anomaly she felled disappeared so fast that it was nearly impossible for it to happen. Even then she continued to wake her sister up.

It wasn’t hard because Luna didn’t even fight it, she could feel her magic already working and bringing her back. What bothered her was the magic, it disappeared and then something strange happened. She felt that pure strength, darkness, sadness, loneliness, lack of harmony and immense like heat in her chest. She didn’t know what it was, but either way Luna saw something there in the Dream World. She needs to know what happened, for the sake of her little ponies.

Cendence watched as Celestia did her job at bringing Luna back, she felled the same about the strong yet very rare emotions she sees among ponies. Sadness? It is impossible that someone if feeling sad in her Crystal Empire. Loneliness? She can bring two to love if both of them agree. These two emotions were very unfamiliar and not seen in a while, maybe there is somepony that needs help? In finding love or harmony, finding friends and company? She won’t leave that matter alone, as long as she stand.

When Luna started to slowly open her eyes, at the same time Celestia stopped using her spell that can bring back anyone from their adventures in the Dream World. Mostly in was used from waking up Luna when she forgot that it was time to get the moon down. She was interested what happened a couple minutes ago, if it is a monster or something similar to that. Then the gryphons can wait, she needs to send Twilight to investigate it.

“Luna, what happen-” Celestia was cut off by Luna.

“Tia…” She looked at her sister with all seriousness, and with a deadly stare

She knew what I meant, something dangerous was happening or will happen. There just is no way it won’t, Luna always uses her name like this when something is about to happen or happened. She knew she should have woke shining up and give him an order to mobilize the guards, there was no major event involving military since the last eight years or so.

“…Better if we decide to immediately start research, for bringing Lord Sauron home.” At first she said fast but when the word “home” came she said with a tiny bit of sadness.

“Why? Did he threaten you or something?” Luna avoided eyes contact.

For Celestia it was a sign that something happened, it wasn’t something good. She needs to know what happened and why, she needs to know because she won’t be threaten by an outsider that holds much power in himself. Hut she won’t leave this matter alone, oh no. She is going to have a long talk with him about what did he do, why? When? Was the anomaly him etc.

“N-No…” Luna said, getting Celestia's attention. “He held far more power than we expected, it is just better to have him on our side.”

“So it was him the whole time?” Asked Cadence.

“Yes, it all started with me wanting to know him better, he was on his balcony so I decided to land on it and start a conversation. I wanted to know more about him to become friends maybe and have a better time in the future talking and knowing each other.” Luna said and got off her bed, she was now looking at Cendence and her sister.

Celestia had a bad feeling about what he could have said, she didn’t know if he could be trusted. After all if all this was his doing, then she has to maybe be a little more friendly to him. But of course she can’t become a puppet to him, she won’t allow that to happen even if he would want to make her one.

“That doesn’t sound that bad.” Cendence said.

“Yes, it doesn’t please, continue Luna.” Celestia said while with a smile she put her hoof on Luna’s shoulder.

“Well I heard him say that he wished he had a “Palantír”, I didn’t know what it was so I asked what it meant. He didn’t expect me so he got into a position ready to fight but he quickly changed his attitude when he saw it was me.”

Celestia never in her life heard of something called “Palantír”, and from the looks of it there are plenty because he wishes he had ONE of those thing whatever they are. If he wants something like that, first she has to see how it looks like, how powerful it is, cast a spell making it easy to track, and finally make it not be used at its full potential.

“He responded by saying that I should know what it is, that almost every being in “Arda” knows what it is. I didn’t know what it was so I thought you would know what it is, besides that I also thought he was from Mordor not Arda, and he spoke of it as if it was his home.” Lunas word caught the interests of both the princesses.

“Luna, I do not know of anything called a “Palantír” or of the land called “Arda”.”

Cendence just stood there and didn’t understand why did they even talk like that. She told them both what he told her and Shining. That some powerful enemies of his tried to banish him from their land and he got teleported here. Or didn’t she tell them? She doesn’t know anymore, but just to be sure she will tell them now.

“Ummm, did I tell you what he told me and Shining?” Cendence asked.

“No.” Both sisters responded at the same time.

“Well, he said that his country is at war, and that his enemies tried to banish him, but he was teleported here.” She said while doing a philosophic pose.

“That would make sense then…” Luna said in a whispering tone to herself.

Both Celestia and Cadence looked at Luna with interested eyes. Both didn’t know what she meant by that, but she probably knows something Celestia would like to know. Luan looked at both her sister and Cadence, she took a deep breath and prepared to say something that would really surprise her sister and Cadence.

“While we were talking, he said that the world is called “Arda”. Of course I though it’s their way in naming Equis our planet. But no…his world isn’t a planet, he asked me different names and if I know of them. I didn’t recall knowing any of them. When I said our world is a planet he couldn’t believe it, he said his is a sphere and that he SAW it turn into one.” She said in all serious tone.

Both of the princesses couldn’t believe what they heard. From what it looked like, Sauron was from a different world, dimension or Universe even. Just like that mare Sunset Shimmer, she once only visited them. After a year or so she returned back, the mirror that lead into her world was destroyed accidently by an earthquake that was caused by nature doing its things.

The two princesses then listened closely what happened after this, of course they weren’t now surprised that they didn’t understand his power. His world can have other ways of using magic, other ways in using them and overall other spells that can be better or worse. The two princesses let Luna continue and didn’t cut her off when she continued her story.

“I couldn’t believe it but he was from a different world, he said something about a God creator, that this world is probably also his doing, that he maybe send him here for some reason. He seemed depressed and he let a tear go down his cheek. I called many times his name to get his attention until I did get a response.” Luna said and seemed to be a little sorry that he was put here in his world.

“God creator?” Celestia asked.

“Yes, he was called Eru Ilúvatar or something like that.” Luna then responded.

“First time hearing something like this.” Cadence said.

“Indeed.” Celestia echoing her nieces response.

“Either way, I asked if he wants me to go, he said that he doesn’t want to. So we begin to talk about his world and a little of our abilities. He is capable of going into ponies dreams just like me! He asked also about what royal duties I will attend if this isn’t my country even, I told him then that I guard ponies from the nightmares”. She said with enthusiastic tone.

“Well isn’t this interesting.” Cadence responded and looked at Celestia that just raised her eyebrow at that

“I offered him if he wants to fight the nightmares with me, he accepted it. I was happy because I just found a companion to help me do my job, so we together ascended into the dream world. We both agreed to meet in front of the palace, at first he wasn’t coming, then I felled something, and some moments after this a small flame appeared. It grew to size of an building and pinned me down with strange force. It was a giant fire like eye, I almost cried because I was scared. I asked if this was him and it was hi-” Luna was cut off by Celestia.

“What! And I don’t know bout something like that! Did he hurt you?” Celestia nervously hugged her sister.

“No… he apologized,” She then managed to get free from Celestia's hold, “In a rather… interesting combination of words.” she said with a tiny blush on her face.

Celestia didn’t notice it, but Cadence saw that pink color on her cheeks and she immediately knew what happened. It was one from those tactics that involve in doing a prank, making the other feel not alright b it. And then with your charm, hit on the certain pony to get closer and to say how much you like her or him.

“This doesn’t explain why he did that!” Celestia said with anger and venom.

“Yes I understand, but I think he just is like this… we firstly inspected the palace and found out Flurry had a Nightmare, well she was scared of him because she though he is evil. Besides he had abilities mostly evil ponies use in our world, he can use shadows and he was strong enough to make the nightmare be resistant to my attempts at destroying it. He wanted to see why she was scared, what did make her by scared by him. This experiment of his definitely left a mental scar in Flurry’s head.” Luna said, making Cadence very angry.

“That, that is very irresponsible! What does he think he is?! Some kind of god or something to even test things like that on a child?!” She yelled, with anger and hate in her words.

Celestia understood her niece can get angry but this was something new she learned this morning, that if she will mess with Flurry or her family then she will probably suffer from Cendences hooves. Hopefully Luna will say something that will make her come down a bit, because if not. Then she herself will have to support her niece when it will come in interfering Sauron.

“He explained why he did that, and he even got on his knees showing that he sacrifices his honor in order to make Flurry Heart forgive him. She forgive him, and then she hugged him. It was truly really cute, too bad you didn’t’ see it,” Luna said while looking straight at Cadence, “Such generosity and Kindness, she wasn’t even angry. She will be a great pony one day.” Luna said and hoped it will be enough to make Cadence calm down.

“F-Fine… but still this was a stupid thing to do!” She responded and frowned when she thought about her daughter being… scared.

Luna then continued explaining to them both how it went down from there. He offered her helping her because he took a lot of time in Flurry Hearts nightmare. She said how they both exited her dream space, and again were in her room and saw her now smiling. Of course Luna also said that she repaired everything and Flurry Hearts dream turned into a good one.

Sauron asked Luna about the highest point, so she told him about the little area on the highest point of their palace. She told in almost all detail how he stepped out of the room, how he summoned the cloud thingy on which he was flying earlier with her to get to Flurry Hearts room. She told how he stepped and how the cloud dissolved in what particles and in what color.

Luna didn’t forget almost anything, only some things that weren’t so important, but either way she continued with her story and with smile on her muzzle she said how he asked about the Cutie marks he called tattoos. She explained how he wasn’t to surprised when he heard her say she moves the moon. She was surprised because in his world there are ponies or different kind of characters that also do the same, he also assumed Celestia with her sun moves the sun and he was right.

Both princesses listened to Luna with interest what happened next, they both were in awe,shock and again,awe how powerful he was and how much knowledge he possessed. Luna gladly also explained what was that magic Celestia felled, because she was getting to the point slowly with her story, Luna herself said all what she saw as if she didn’t believe it was real. Because it couldn’t be real, by their worlds laws.

She said about his magic and strength he possess, she said about his hair how he looked like, she said about his armor he had and how he with ease could control magic in the Dream World .Even when he isn’t made up for defending the night like she is, he possess more abilities connected with it then she.

“That’s really interesting hear, we need to keep an close eye on him. Maybe we should take him with us to Canterlot?” Celestia wondered, but this thought was long declined by her.

If she would take him to Canterlot, if he snaps out or if he decides to do something wrong and not to all right with the laws here in Equestria. Then the whole capital can be in danger, she can’t risk the lives of her little ponies. She has to make a decision about that, Cendence would probably want that because she isn’t too much involved in the life of ponies in Equestria.

But she has to have an eye on him, he is to dangerous and powerful to be left here. Cendence maybe can appoint some guards to guard him. However what will happen if he somehow escapes? He will have all the time he wants to roam ,and maybe find artefacts this world would better not wind out about. She alone also has to do business with him, involving some politics and maybe also knowing better at who she aimed her horn at.

Cendence found all this really strange, if he has such power why are they trying to be defensive and look like they fear him? If she was in a situation like that, then she would maybe then mess around and ask for some things because she would know ponies are afraid of her power. They have to act normal as if this was something normal, maybe say that he has impressive abilities from time to time.

She can also understand that if they make him feel bad and not be too nice, he may side with another country and from there seek help. Maybe they can use his abilities in helping ponies in other places, healing and fighting bandits, she would also maybe give him some money for him to buy some things if he sees something interesting.

‘Why everything that is powerful is a threat?’ Cadence asked herself.

Almost everything that has power or ability in any way, is a threat to Equestria. The gryphons having better days in economy? Threat to Equestria! Saddle Arabia’s new discovery on using sand and other desert resources in medicine or industry? Threat to Equestria! Literally everything that is better than ponies or is too good, maybe even too much on the same level as them is a threat. That’s so racist her hearts melts because there is no love, maybe that’s why everyone hates them?

“That would be wise sister, I think for now he enjoys our company so maybe if Twilight and the elements will melt him. There will be a chance for them to form friendship.” Luna said motivating her sister in doing that.

Luna really didn’t know why, but deep inside of her. She started to like Sauron, maybe he was a little weird, and a little strange when it did come to find out something. But she enjoyed his company, she enjoyed to talk and maybe in the future together normally fight off the nightmares. She hoped that he will say more things about his home, he seems not to be sad, that he isn’t back in his country.

‘Maybe he isn’t affected by stress like ponies?’ Luna wondered .

“I don’t know, we have to keep him close, watch what he is doing. He can prove too dangerous and we need to be sure he won’t harm our subjects” Celestia said, Luna just started at her sister and responded with a pleading tone.

“But, Tia you always said that maybe we can find a peaceful way to handle something. So if we take him to Canterlot, not only Twilight will have an easier way in meeting him and learning about his world. He would meet the elements, meet new ponies and other things.” Luna looked into Celestia's eyes, she saw that Celestia wanted to maybe take him to Canterlot, but she didn’t have the courage.

She could understand it, he was powerful and if he was angry he could do much evil and horrible things. However trust is something you give to ponies you do not know, or to different races that live in Equestria. You need to know them better and become something more, sometimes it evolves into conflicts but it isn’t to oft.

The two sisters continued to talk if they should take Sauron to Canterlot, Cendence was listening to their conversation. It was interesting to hear all this from her aunt, besides that she wanted to hear what happened next. Mostly because of Luna behavior in her bed, and how she talked while technically sleeping. She needs to know what happened and if there is something more to it, she needs to know.

It’s her duty.

“Luna.” Cadence started and saw how Luna stopped her conversation with Celestia.

“Yes?”

“Its interesting to hear all this, but you didn’t finish the story.”

Luna's eyes then winded, she forgot to mention about how powerful he is in reality. She needs to tell how he managed to cast all the nightmares away in the city and probably the whole country with one spell that he casted in two minutes or so.It probably didn’t get unnoticed by Celestia, that’s why she even tried to wake her up.

“Yes… Tia it would be better if you listened to this.”

Luna started to explain what he did next, how he begin to summon big amounts of magic into hands and how they danced around him. She told how it looked like, what color it had, how strong it was and what he was doing while making it happen. Celestia and Cadence listened to Luna's words, they got more and more ridiculous with every second

Luna told about him summoning the second white colored magic, it was also very strong and together it was stronger than her. She mentioned how she felt like, how his magic started to affect her by feeling cold and such. She told about the orbs, how his eyes were glowing, what power she felled and how crushing it was. Cendence was really impressed and dumbfounded when she heard all this, Celestia was only listening and with every word she even more was interested in him.

Luna didn’t stop her story, she mentioned the clouds and other things getting affected. She told how he then finally used the ring to strengthen his power, how he sucked all that magic, how he smashed the orbs together and the magic was I his arms. With more and more detail, both the princesses though they are hearing out loud a comic book, about a hero or villain with extreme magical capabilities..

It wasn’t the end, Luna also told what he “transformed” his clothes and posture. How the flowers and different rings appeared near him in a phantomic and light lavender color. She also told about her theory, that there are more rings like he has, or that his ring is somehow connected to them. There was also the thought that maybe he created them, or his ring is a master ring of some sort.

Celestia listened and was even more impressed in what he could do, what he can do. And finally she was impressed at what magical capabilities hide within him. It was impressive she has to admit, but it was also dangerous to keep him in public view when other countries might have an interest in him.

She can’t allow him thinking bad of the ponies or her. She needs to repair what she has already broken with her attitude. Besides she was little scared of him, the ring emitted dark magic. This didn’t mean that he was evil, but it can be corruptive and can affect her or Luna. Especially she meant Luna, somehow after all these years, still she was guided by her emotions.

Luna was now in the part where he casted the spell, the horses that were made out magic that looked as if they were coming out of a wave of water or fire, how the a big ball of flower petals ,was launched into the air made out of lavender color. She even let them hear about how the strange looking halo behind him ,had really beautiful writing she adored.

In the end, Luna was now saying in a hurry how the ring made out of stallions and mares split into 3 different parts and was going through mountain,hills,houses etc. How the flowers emerged from the petals and how the pollen was coming out of them creating nice dreams. It was truly something beautiful and impossible.

“That’s when I saw your golden Aura wrap around me, he before that also asked what I found about it. I was speechless, I shoot a beam into the ground explaining what was going on and why I will disappear in a few seconds” Luna finished her story about what she did with Sauron that night. She continued looking at Celestia will all seriousness “That’s why we need to be rather friendly to him, I think he would be a great use and ally” She finished and took a deep breath.

“I do not know what to think about all this…he was behind that anomaly all by himself?” She thought out loud.

“I think that he even cleared the nightmares of other countries” And then she remembered what she wanted to do, she had to see what range this spell had.

‘It’s too late now’ Luna thought with a mental sight.

“I-I don’t what to think about this. I didn’t expected that he can be so powerful.” Celestia said still whispering under her breath.

“That’s why I think we should start the research on bringing him back, not because we don’t want him here.” Luna stood up and looked into her sisters eyes. “But to earn his trust.” Luna said.

“Still, he is too much of a potential threat. We need to do something with him.” Celestia said thinking of an idea how to have an eye on him.

“Let’s take him to Canterlot, we will have an close eye on him. Besides if something goes bad Twilight with her friends is close.” Luna said what she thought would be the best thing to do.

It was highly weird to see her say it, normally she would protective and say that he should go to ponyville and meet other. But here not only he is royalty, he is a guest from another world. She also started to like him a bit, she has to create some bounds with him. So it is normal for ponies like her to bring somepony she likes, to the palace or somewhere else with her to stay close.

“Lulu, I know it’s a possibility but I don’t want to risk it.” Celestia responded knowing that Luna’s proposition is the only good one.

The problem is that she doesn’t want to risk him doing something evil. She has a problem to trust him, she has a problem with who he is and has a problem with actually trying to talk to him. Every time she thinks of him, she doesn’t want to anymore, it’s just weird to have a strange feeling making her sweat and become nervous to invade her mind.

“I’ll take care of him.”

Both sisters looked who’s word they were, of course only three Alicorns were in Luna’s room, so the only other voice belong to no other than to the goddess of love. With her hove on her chest, with half open eyes and ready to say something really wise. Stood Cendence that said these words, waiting for her unties attention.

“You always take everything that appears here to Canterlot when it is interesting, be it a gryphon, pony with special talent, changeling, dog, cat, tree you take it. So now that you have a struggle about Sauron going to Canterlot or not, I decided to keep him here for so long as I please. This is my country, my city and I take the full responsibilities over him.” She said so charismatically and with word filled with drama and pure concern, that both the princesses “wowed” a little in their minds.

“Cadence I think you should keep your crystal ponies safe, they suffered enough.” Celestia wasn’t sure if she should let Cendence take Sauron under her wings.

“Me to, Equestria has more funds and capabilities then well your Empire.” Luna agreed with Celestia.

She just looked at them and responded with grace and a little angry tone. “Mhmmpf! Then what stays in the way in cooperating? We both have scientist, you have the knowledge and libraries that I admit have more information about different world or something like that.”

“Cadence, please understand that we just want to make it good enough for everypony.” Celestia said in her regular motherly tone.

“I know that, besides I have my own things I want to ask him to.” She said and then she looked at Luna, with a teasing smile she asked her. “Auntie, Luna are you sure you that it was everything what happened?”

“Yes, I said everything what I saw or he said. Why are you asking?” She raised her eyebrow.

“Just curious, about certain… emotions” Cadence said and turned then to Celestia. “Anyhow he stays here, when you will finally decide what to do, then you can take him if he wants to. But if he refuses, I will gladly accept him and make this city his new temporary home.”

With that Cadence turned away and was beginning to head towards the door, Celestia and Luna just looked as their niece opened the doors and exited Lunas room. Celestia then looked at her sister, Luna returned the stare.

“Are you sure It’s all what has happened? Nothing more to tell? He didn’t start anything with you… did he?” Celestia started to get a little nervous asking her sister, while thinking about her words when she was here with Cadence. While Luna was in the Dream World.

“No,no… WAIT! Yes there is!” Luna yelled, her sister then was curious to hear what she meant.

It was about private life and all, it was about those kinds of areas where it was better to talk with family. Overall Celestia expected this to be about what she thought it would be about, there were some surprises on the way, but other than that everything seemed fine what Luna told her. However there was one tiny thing, that disturbed her.

She didn’t expect to be it about Flurry Heart.

I decided to do a chapter only for the princesses

I hope you will enjoy it, please comment it really helps me seeing you commenting. It makes me happy to see those numbers rise. Give it a like, and remember if you want the story to progress nicely. Try to edit it, so that we can make it a book, besides that I gladly would like to see you looking at my other story.

Arrancar of Death

Hope to see you next time, It can be that I did Luna to much not as she is. Becouse she is mostly like Celestia here, I also tried to make Cendence a little more adult and not a "puppet" ,as I like to call, that Celestia uses.
