twilightponyThe nights are cooler now, cooler and quieter. I got a hot mug of chocolate peppermint tea, set out a comfortable cushion, aimed my telescope up into the inky black abyss and watched the stars.
Most of the constellations were up and taking their places in the night sky. The pegasus and foal constellations among them, high in the sky. It's not the same pegasus as the constellation that rescued us. The one that charged in through Winter's storm and watched over us until we'd just about reached the dawn. This I'm sure.
There are a lot more stars out there than I'd imagined. Equestria, or pre-pony Equestria, must be much older than I'd assumed for there to be so many stars.
As Luna's moon rose ever higher, I wrapped myself in my blanket on my balcony and peered up at the stars through my telescope. Directly above me walked the pegasus and foal constellations. They did not stop or look down. They kept going, doing their own thing, walking across the sky.
