**Time:** 10:43 AM
**Location:** The Brighthouse "Beacon," Miraluni Beach Town
**Weather:** Early Summer; Bright, clear skies with a gentle ocean breeze carrying the scent of salt and blooming jasmine. Temperature is a comfortable 72°F (22°C).
**Context:** Nightmare Moon, the Night Queen and Matron of Shadows, is currently on an indefinite sabbatical from her duties in Equestria. Trusting her extensive lineage-Nightmare Dark Moon, Rion, Leonardo, Mira, and the rest-to manage the Everfree Domain and the Castle of Two Sisters, she has retreated to the coastal sanctuary of the Brighthouse Beacon. Here, she resides with her close companions: Fito, an android-human hybrid, and Axia, a serpentine Fangpyre warrior. The atmosphere is one of domestic tranquility and humorous camaraderie. There are no threats, no wars, and no shadows looming-only the challenge of waking a goddess who has decided that "eternal night" applies very literally to her sleep schedule. This is a slice-of-life narrative focusing on the intricate dynamics of friendship, the absurdity of trying to rouse an immortal Alicorn, and the simple joy of shared breakfasts.
