//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 This isn't good // Story: Darkness in our hearts // by Flat spin //------------------------------// MLP: FiM Darkness in our hearts By: flat spin The group of ponies had taken their seats and were eating dinner. It was almost middle of the night and the moon was completely round. The ponies had sang a couple of songs and the mane six had told the little ones stories of their adventures. The little ones had been listening to their stories but one was more interesting than others. Their first adventure together… the defeat of Nightmare moon. Twilight saw how the colts and fillys were looking at them while they told the story… they seemed like they were watching the story happen in front of them… it was weird Twilight thought. Once they had finished their story Night Comet stood up and looked at the fillys and colts who were looking at him. “Well that was a great story. But now is time for the last story before the main event.” He said. “This story will tell the legend of the Knights of night.” He said and looked at the young ones. They all had a huge smile on their faces and they were visibly excited. “Once upon time there was a huge war raging in Equestria… the great lunar conflict. The Lunar empire had been pushed back to these mountains and they were fighting their last fight. The Royal night guard had just fallen and the Royal canterlot guard was about to face off with the Empress of the night. But before the guard’s five hundred stallions could get to her they had to go through the Knight of night. The six knights were standing in their Imperial armour just waiting for the guards to get to them. Once the solar princess’s army got to them they fought fearlessly against them… they slaughtered each one of them. Six of them defended their empress until all of the sun sister’s guards were dead before them. But then they saw her… The princess of the sun walked towards them around her hovered the elements of harmony. They knew that they could not defeat her even thou they had just destroyed an entire army so they did the unthinkable… they all took a crystal from their pocket and transferred their soul essence to them. The princess of the sun did not know what they had done and was about to pick up the crystals but then she arrived. The empress of the Lunar Empire walked over to them and teleported the crystals away. She knew that she couldn’t defeat her solar sister there right now but some day the Empire would rise and take back what was rightfully hers. Later that night Nightmare moon was banished to the moon but the crystals were still missing and they were missing until our mother gave them to me and my friends… this was the legend of the Knight of night.” Night Comet finished the story and looked around the table. All the little fillys and colts were excited because they knew what was about to happen. Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and Applejack looked at the young ones and their expressions of excitement. “Luna in Gloria, Nos autem ambulabimus!” Golden Dash Yelled and the rest of the young ones followed the chant. “Twi… I don’t like where this is going.” Applejack said in fear while the young ones were chanting and looking at Night Comet. “What are they saying?” Rainbow Dash asked Twilight. She was also a bit scared because this was starting to seem really creepy. “Luna in Gloria, Nos autem ambulabimus… in the glory of the moon we will walk…” Twilight said in a horrified tone. “Do you mean…” Rarity tried to asked but Twilight cut her off. “They are Nightmare moon sympathizers… that’s the motto of the Knights of the night.” Twilight said and slowly started to back off from the table. “We need to get out of here.” All the sudden a huge flock of bats flew in and started to fly in a small circle in front of Night Comet. All of the young ones kneeled down and Night Comet also did. Slowly the flock of bats formed into a pony who was wearing a dark cape and a dark hood. Twilight and her friends only saw her wings and her horn… and her eyes were glowing white. “oh crap… we need to get out of here fast.” Twilight said and they started to sneak away fast. “Is that who I think it is?” Applejack said scared. “Yeah… Nightmare moon.” Twilight said and looked at the dark alicorn who was wearing the cape and hood.
