"Princess Celestia... I think... I could help you bring her back..."Celestia looks up to the sorceress and wipes off her tear.

"...How?" Princess asks.

"You need to banish me to the moon... and I will comfront your sister and despell her Nightmare Moon..."Princess's eyes widen quickly after she heard the sorceress's plan and quickly says.

"What? This is very risk for yourself, Aiden! What if you never come back? Or what if you fail? Or-"

"I won't let you down princess... I don't know how long it will take... but I will do my best to comfort her." Princess Celestia's eyes are once full with tear of joyful and sad in the same time, she cries on the sorceress's hug. Aiden eyes suddenly spark out the white and black flash before her small drops of tear fall down from her eyes down to princess's mane. The sorceress heart burn bright with the bound of friendship and love within him. She slowly releases a hug from her highness and dignifiedly bows before her.

"Tomorrow is full moon... You still have an opportunity to talk with your friends or anything you want." Princess says.

"Thank you Princess..."Sorceress says greatfully while both Princess and Aiden are still sitting at the balcony for the night guarding.

"So... will you tell the rest?"After Aiden asks, Bright Hammer quickly nods her head.

"Tonight at down in the Stained glasses room okay?" Sorceress says and takes his leave to the balcony of royal observatory where Princess Celestia's doing her observation. Aiden approaches next to her and takes a look to the Equestria with his eyesight.

"The sun shines bright up high... same as my ember among my hollowed body... the warmth of friendship... is now a warmth of love I have given every pony and my friends... But... I still feels like there's one missing piece." Sorceress mentions. Princess looks up to Aiden that's standing nobly with the sunlight shines on his body.

But now tonight he has offer princess an ultimate quest to the moon in order to bring back Luna.

"You still have a lot of tings to learn about friendship and love, Protector." Celestia looks at him and sighs since she doubt what if it's not working... or will Aiden die? But then her thought suddenly flop out from her mind when Aiden suddenly pats on her shoulder and rubs it. She know that the sorceress want to soothe her. Celestia doesn't do anything but hugs Aiden tightly.

The evening sky passes quickly and the moon ascends up instead of sun that's descending down. Bright Hammer and her friends, Ziggy, Sally, and Siegward the Caterina's Knight. Sorceress, Aiden turns to them and gives them a bow before she says.

"Thank you for coming my dear friends... This may be the last time you all will see me..."Aiden mentions and looks down to the pendant of her covenant. She unhook her chain and breaks it into pieces before she gives them to every one of his friends.

"This is for what?"Ziggy asks.

"These broken pieces... will remind me who you all have made friend with... The reminder of me..." Aiden's tear suddenly flows down when each of his friends picks it up.

"Is this mean.... Aiden.."Siegward looks up to Aiden after he puts the broken parts of pendant in his pouch.

"My other ultimate quest... yes... but this time is different..." Aiden says and suddenly his pony friends and Siegward walk toward to him and hug him really tight.

"You are going to the moon right?"Sally says.

"And bring back Princess Luna?"Bright Hammer says after Sally. Ziggy doesn't say anything but cries out after what he has heard.

"What I want from you... is the promise... Promise me... that... our bound will last forever..." Aiden asks them out. Everyone's eyes are looking up to the sorceress and say in the same time.

"Our bound will be forever." The friends of sorceress release a hug. She walks back to princess and bows down dignifiedly before her.

"I am ready princess..." Princess Celestia nods after her subject said. She takes out the Element of Harmony out from the create. The six elements orbit around Princess Celestia, the sorceress kneels down before her, The warmth of Harmony spread across all over the stained glasses room. Suddenly the flash of Elements' color flashes out from the sixth element, magic. The flash has gone but the appearance of sorceress has disappeared too.

She claim that every full moon night will be the remembrance day of the legendary brave sorceress who has making a valuable sacrifice to bring Luna back.

In the moon, there's always dark and no sunlight shines to it. The sorceress is standing on the moon's surface. She gazes her eyes around the moon.

"Some pony here?.." Her sounds echoes out all over the moon but then suddenly the stardust flow on the air quickly. It approaches close to her quickly and cover all over sorceress body but then the dark magic explodes out making the stardust disappear and the appearance of Nightmare Moon occur before Aiden's eyes.

"Well, well what have we here... the... Wizard... and... female?" Nightmare Moon is surprised from what she has seen among her foe, Aiden.

"Miss the old me?" Aiden says with her charming muse voice.

"Whatever you are, you still the one who gets in my way! Like my sister who banished me!"Nightmare Moon says with anger and shot out her dark magic from her horn directly to her. Aiden easily dodges it like it just an arrow.

"Huh...miss me."She tease Nightmare Moon. She grunts in even more anger has built up. The dark pony flies charging to him, Aiden was pushed to the gigantic boulder making hard damage on Aiden's back. But then Nightmare Moon seems to be tired judging from sorceress's eyes.

"Don't you ever want some pony to talk with?" Nightmare Moon widen her eyes never thought that someone will say this to her. Her horn glows even more as she points it on sorceress's head.

"What... are ...thou's... thinking!" Nightmare Moon shouts with even more rage's building within her making her shot out her magic pierces through the sorceress's right shoulder.

"You... really are the loneliest mare I ever met..."Aiden mentions after she had seen her memory deep within Nightmare Moon's thought.

"So what!"Nightmare Moon yells and her horn glows preparing to finish the sorceress with one hit.

"Go on... kill me... and you will be alone... in the moon.." Sorceress dares Nightmare Moon but she stills standing not doing anything and her horn stops glowing.

"-sighs- you the only one who make me speechless..."Nightmare Moon says.

"I know... Look princess... this is not you... you are kind... generous... and... the only one who can comfort the nightmare..." Aiden says trying to soothe Nightmare Moon.

"But I am not-"

"Nightmare... You are the princess of the moon... you bring the moonlight... and your sister bring the sunlight..."Aiden says.

"Yes.. and my subjects love her more than me!"Nightmare Moon stomp on the moon making a big crack on the surface.
