1 year...
It's been one year since the Princess Twilight has been kidnapped and corrupted...
One year that the guards tryied to set her free and finally...
One year that she missed her friends..
------
Today was an day especially sad at Canterlot, it's been one year that'd the Princess of friendship has disappeared leaving behind her crown who now is grey.
And today, Celestia was going to tell it to her subjects, in a few minutes, everypony will know what happen to her
Eveypony was waiting in the castle back garden, there was all type of ponies : earth ponies, unicorns, pegasus and even some changelings, and all of them were talking and laughting.
After five more minutes, Celestia appeared in the tower accompanied by her sister, Princess Luna follow by the elements and the pillars.
The white alicorn coughed for have their attention and the speech started
"My dears ponies, hello to everyone and thanks to had the greatness to come here." she started
"Today is the day were you will know what happen to the Princess of friendship, Twilight Sparkle."
"And you are not without to know that since the pillars came back, she is gone with them and the elements to defeat the darkness"
"And the truth is..."
------
It's been a year, a year that I'm here and a year that nobody sees me or finds.
Yet even with the help of King Sombra and shadows, I feel ... empty
No one loves me, no one remembers me and yet ... empty
Sometimes I lie on the cold floor and close my eyes, thinking back to how I got there
------
"You will not remember anything"
"No !" I screamed before the only thing I could see was black
------
"And here unfortunately my little ponies how Twilight Sparkle was corrupted, but today I wanted to ask you if, out of pure generosity and not out of obligation, a certain pony or other creature would have information about the darkness that enclose our beloved Twilight asked Celestia with hope as she watched the crowd in front of her
Nobody says anything
She sighed until she heard some pony
"I know something." declared this person
The Sun Princess opened her eyes and searched until she saw a green hoof in the air, this hoof belonging to a certain reformed changeling named Thorax
"All right, thank you all for coming and you can go back home"
Everyone left except the insect pony who stayed
"Do you want to come to the throne room?"
"Of course Princess"
Then with that, the rest went to the throne of the two princesses
------
Alone. Here is how I would define myself right now. The only thing that's here with me now is the cold, hard ground with that strange gray smoke and that black, empty space like space, just without the bust of stars, constellations, the moon, and the dark blue sky.
If only to see the sky she had admired since she was a filly.
"But now it's over," she murmured to herself.
Just the mention of the night reminded her of the Moon Princess and caused extreme rage in Twilight
"They abandoned me, abandoned me and even delivered me to the darkness and they did not even try to help me!" These ponies deserve the suffering! The sorrow! The sadness! And its favorite: The fear
"They do not know what he's waiting for," she said sadly before laughing
------
"So you say that Chrysalis punished you by locking you in there?" asked Princess Luna
"Yes, and sometimes she locked us up with our worst nightmare," he shuddered, remembering his childhood
"Very good and how do you access it?" said Rarity
"Pfffft, but finally Rarity, it's very simple, you just have to go and provoke the king of darkness himself!" said Pinkie in a sung voice
"Scorpan?" Applejack thought
"But not his idiot filly, I'm talking about King Sombra!"
"You're crazy ?!" shouted Rainbow Dash flying away
"Oooh my, I do not even dare to think about it," Fluttershy said hiding behind his mane
"Princesses, I want to go to limbo and recover Princess Twilight" says Thorax
"Sorry Thorax but I'm afraid I want to refuse to risk the life of one of my subjects" sighed the elder alicorne
"No disrespect, Princess, do you prefer to send eleven ponies who are not even sure to pick it up? Think about it, I know the place and I learned to face my fears, do not you think I have to go?" Thorax argument
"Good but be careful and please pay attention to yourself" says the White Princess
"Thank you Princess," he said turning around and getting ready physically AND mentally
