AN: Anything italicized is thought

Celestia rushed to her sister. She wasn't breathing, becoming frantic she tried every healing spell she could think of, desperate to save the last member of her family she had left. Please don't die Little Luna Celestia begged silently.

Meanwhile Luna awoke in darkness. Slowly she staggered to her feet and peered around in the void, searching for anything that wasn't black. As she looked she spotted a pony walking toward her, a very familiar pony. The pony was an alicorn of Luna's exact height and build with a silvery coat, a mane and tail as black as night and eyes the purest gold. There was an aura of light coming off from her, not unlike an angel. The pony was Starbright Luna's long since departed twin sister.

Luna just stood there for a moment, dumbfounded, how could Starbright be here? Where was 'here' in any case? A thought occurred to her, unless I am dead now to. Coming out of her moment of shock Luna ran forward to meet her and hugged her tight, sobbing into her mane.

"I've missed you so much" Luna whimpered into her mane.

"And I you" Starbright gently replied "I must be brief however for we have but a few moments. Sister you must listen to me very carefully, you are currently in the Netherworld, a place between life and death. Our eldest sister is frantically trying to save you but she will not succeed unless you decide to go back."

"If I stay here will I be able to see him again?" Luna asked a tiny bit hopefully

"No" Luna looked devastated "because, your husband is not here" She looked up "He still lives in your world."

"What? No that cannot be" Luna shook her head not daring to believe it. "He has been dead for a thousand years, and I think I would know it if he were alive."

"Do not be so sure, he has merely slept, trapped by an ancient evil, and it is up to you to find him."

"Then where is he!" Luna shouted in frustration. Subconsciously, she had decided to go back and was beginning to fade back to reality.

Sounding more distant with every word Starbright called "You will find him in a place also long since gone! Goodbye, dearest Luna."

Celestia was still desperately hovering over her sister trying to find any sign of life, when Luna started to breathe shallowly again, mumbling something that sounded like "but what does that even mean?" Celestia sighed in relief. Luna's eyes suddenly flew open and she breathed more steadily. She looked up into Celestia's face and whispered.

"He is alive, my husband is alive."
