The grand, prestigious leader of the Twilight's Hammer, Cho'gall, was the first, and most powerful, Ogre magi. Taught by Gul'dan himself, Cho'gall spread death and destruction wherever he went. His desire to resurrect the Old God, C'Thun, made him one of the most notorious beings to ever walk the face of Azeroth.

However, whenever he wasn't trying to herald the end of all life, Cho'gall enjoyed writing. But such a task came with... challenges. Namely the fact that he was a two-headed Ogre.

And when Cho'gall decides to narrate a story, said packaging becomes one of his greatest challenges ever.

Sleep paralysis: a state in which one is aware, but incapable of movement or speech. It occurs when awakening or falling asleep. It is said that between eight to fifty percent of the population will experience it at some time in their life.

It is during this time that one may hear, feel, or see things that are not actually there. Beings of shadow or darkness that seem to wish to cause harm to the victim of the paralysis.

For Princess Luna, she's about to experience the horror of it all first hand.

A satirical piece.

Celestia loves her little ponies, more than anything in the world.
She has fought for them, sacrificed for them, and given herself completely for the needs of her subjects.
Though a thousand years of doing the same thing would take their toll on even the most patient of people, Celestia not being an exception.
Missing the days where every other week was a grand battle, Celestia begins longing for the chance to throw some excitement into her now droll life.
Her wish is answered, though not in the way one would think.
But complaining gets one nowhere in this world, and all that matters is the roar of the crowd, and the sound of the bell.
