//------------------------------// // The past coming back // Story: A Shadowed Past // by King Sombra Returns //------------------------------// Shining Armor banged his hoof down onto the table where The Royal Sisters sat, as well as His Wife,Sister, and her friends. " I am not going to go down with out a fight! Queen Chrysalis is still out there, and she might come back. And I intend to stop her before she has the chance." He said rage consuming him. " Darling please sit down, have some tea it will calm you." Cadence said reassuring her in-raged husband. Princess Luna herself got up calmly and secure gesturing to the couple. " Though we were not there, we hath felt the blast of Love energy. I knoweth that the Changelings art gone for now. And you as a caption of the Royal Guard should knoweth better than anyone, to only fight at which hour one has been threatened. one not go searching for a fight, because an army will findeth thee. Rest assured that if it be true that they do cometh back, we wilt fight. Until then we see no reason to start a fight." Luna said in a calm tone, that still demanded respect. " And how do we know you didn't help Chrysalis, you said it your self you weren't there. During the Wedding or after! And you already have a dark history!" Shining said rising on his hind legs. Princess Luna shot a blast of light from her horn, shoving Shining across the room. " Young Prince, I can handle being disrespected from others. But no one my Young Prince accuses us of working with such evil, doest thou understandeth?" She said in a soft eerie whisper, standing over the Young Stallion. Everyone in the room could have sworn, his coat was even paler than before. " Now if you will excuse us, we have other things we needeth to attend to. Farewell young Prince, and remember to think about what we hath said." With that she walked out the door leaving the others to settle his outburst. White spots filled Luna's vision as she walked down a corridor, she stopped and shook her head. When suddenly, the white spots were filled with images of a White mare with a cyan mane and tail, as well as Blueish-green eyes. She was running across an crystal floor, sliding across with her magic, as she made icy butterfly's help her glide across like ice. " No! How do I get out of this, ugh!" She said panic filling her voice. Luna used her magic to bring herself out of the vision. She had teleported to her chambers, and noticed tears were blocking her vision. She quickly wiped them away, and practiced that new breathing technique Cadence taught her. The tears didn't stop, however they just kept flowing. " I-I-I, I didn't mean to upset her, I just-" Shining Armor started. " You lost control of your emotions, and lashed out in anger at the first pony you saw. Which in this case was Princess Luna." Twilight said, knowing exactly where her B.B.B.F.F was going. " Took the words right out of my mouth. Princess Celestia, I am sorry I know better than to act like a foal, especially to one of the ones I have sworn on my life to protect." Shining said lowering his ears and head in shame. " It is fine Shining Armor, Trust me I understand what it is like being an outlet for anger such as yours." Celestia said, her eyes dimming in sadness. " Hey! I see frowns, and I can't have anyone having frowns. When I can turn those frowns upside down!" Pinkie Pie said appearing with a massive cake bigger than that of Big Mac. " Haha, Well I can't say no to a good slice of cake." Celestia giggled Twilight pulled Shining away from the crowd, " Now would be a good time to sneak away and apologize to the Princess." she said with a smile " Your right Twiliy, thanks for understanding." He said as he pulled his little sister into a hug and slowly left out of the room. Shining Armor stopped in front of Princess Luna's room, he raised his hoof to knock when he heard noises. He pressed his ear to the door to hear the sounds. " No, please stop, No No, NOO!! Stop it PLEASE!!! " Shining Armor jumped as he lit his horn, and teleported into the meeting room, " Princess Luna's in trouble!" He said panic filling his very soul. " Well then lets get a move on!" The Cyan pegasus Rainbow Dash said as she took the air and flew down the hallway, faster than the speed of light. until she zoomed back, " Umm, where is she?" " UGH! STOP PLEASE LET ME HAVE SOME PEACE!" Luna said booming in the Royal Canterlot voice. " Luna, Luna?" Celestia called, No response. " What could have caused this!?" Twilight asked her wondering what was happening to Princess Luna, one side of her wanted to burst into the room. While the other side wanted to stay and see if she was ok before barging in. " Uh,uh. S-s-sister? Art though there?" Luna said, breaking her words. " Yes Luna, I'm here. Were all here." Celestia said worry slipping through her normal steady tone. " Princess I am very sorry for upsetting you, I just lost-" Shining started before getting cut of. " You lost your self in your anger young Prince, Trust us we understand. If we thought though were true in thy words, you would have faced a very angry Princess." She chuckled at the thought. " But surely I upset you." Shining Armor said confusion tinting his words. " No, Young Prince though has done no crime. It was simply something we had thought long casted from our memories that upset us." she said looking down, her eyes watering. She knew none of the others could she her, so she let silent tears fall. " Now I am feeling quite tired,we believe we should get some rest. Today has been quite long for us." she said hoping to get them away from her door. " A-are you sure sister? I can-" Celestia started " Yes, sister I am quite sure. we can handle these..." she gulped. " These memories for now, should we needeth your help we shall call for you if though art needed." When she knew that they were gone, she then unlocked a drawer that had a small portrait of the white mare she had seen before. Her and Luna holding each other in a hugging pose. " Our dearest friend, why dost though come back to us now. We shall miss you, for all of Eternity. She said a tear dropping on the glass on the frame, she had hidden away from prying eyes for over one-thousand years.
