Princess Luna has always avoided the subject of the number of thrones in the Canterlot royal throne room. But when a filly asks the weighted question to her face, Luna decides to answer – and finds that some recent events have changed what she believes that answer to be.
Beneficial, but not necessary, to have seen the Season 5 episode 'Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?' before reading this.

This story is a sequel to To Try For the Sun
The young alicorn Celestia leads and ponies follow, fleeing south from their frozen lands.
Luna is not respected, not mighty like her sister. She can only watch Celestia slowly crumble from ceaseless labor, and the caravan rot with animosity and fear.
She needs to help, yet no one will listen.
She needs power.
(Same universe as To Try for the Sun, reading one is not necessary for the other.)

Yet, in her heart she holds a deep pain and feels that she truly doesn't deserve any of it.
