Chapter 8
"Princess! Are you alright?" A faint voice was calling to her from a distance. Drowsily, she got up and looked at the pitch blackness around her. At the end of the dark corridor, there seemed to be a door of white. Slowly, She walked towards it and entered. In the waking world, her eyes slowly opened to see Thunder Hoof standing anxiously over her. Several other white pegasus guards were standing at a far distance, looking out for danger. He helped her up and she turned her head towards Canterlot. To my horror, all there was, was black jagged crystals, blocking out the view of the castle.

"Tia..." She whispered, her eyes filled with tears. She had not called her sister that since she was a young alicorn. She began walking towards Ponyville, with the guards behind her. Ponies were outside their houses and talking anxiously with each other. She walked on the street, trying to keep her head held high, but her ears were drooped down sadly.

"Princess? What's happening in Canterlot? What is that black creature?" Ponies gathered around, asking questions.

"Everypony, please! Give the princess some space. She is very stressed out right now because Princess Celestia told her to leave her behind."Thunder Hoof and the other guards shielded the Princess once more.

"No, perhaps they deserve an explaination. But I- I don't know what to say." She said sadly. Twilight and her friends pushed throught the crowd of ponies.

"Come into my castle. Maybe we can talk this through in private." She invited.

"I don't think you need to do that, Princess Twilight. Perhaps Ponyville can decide for themselves. I have a feeling they have experience this kind of eclipse before, haven't they?" A strange hooded pony stepped out from behind me.

"Who are you?" She demanded.

"Name? I have no name as far as I know, but I do know that I can be very convincing." He uncovered his hood and smiled in a not so friendly way.
