//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 Part 1: Princess Luna's Dream // Story: The Fall of the Tree // by Slean Stoneheart //------------------------------// "Good evening Twilight, I see that you did an excellent job with all of the preparations of the Gala this year. What is your thoughts of how well you and your friends handled such the task?" Luna asked Twilight. "I'm not gonna to lie to you princess but I still can't get over the fact we finished the main part of the preparations in about 30 minutes." Twilight Told Luna. "But other than that I think that we all did an excellent job this year." "I'm glad that you are pleased with your efforts thank you for telling me what your thoughts are about what all of you ponies done. Twilight can you please do me a favour and tell Celestia if she is looking for me that I went out for a little walk." Luna asked Twilight. "Sure thing princess. All I have to know is that where are you going?, and why have you given me such a task?" Twilight asked. "Just say that I am doing a little errand to your first question and to your second one with you being her prized student she would believe you a little more than any other pony in here at the moment." Luna replied to twilight's question. "Okay then, thanks for telling me princess. I hope you enjoy the rest of you evening where ever you are going." Twilight told Luna "Thanks, you too, I'll see you later tonight if we bump into each other." Luna relied back. "You are very welcome princess see you later on if we see each other by chance." Twilight replied back. However Princess Luna did not end up going outside for her little errand as she told Twilight instead she went to her own quarters. On the way to her quarters Luna felt a strange feeling like she was being followed to her room but each and every time that she turned around to look there was no one there. As soon as Luna entered her room that feeling that she felt on the way to her room was a lot stronger than before. As Luna walked around trying to find what was making such a felling as soon as Luna stepped away from the door the door slammed shut with a loud bang enough to make you jump in fear. Luna jumped through the door bang that the door made. Luna turned around instantly to try to open the door back up. "Dam it, it is locked from the outside but how there was no pony outside of my room when I came in .....n.....n......n.......n what is this headache t-t-that came out of n-n-nowhere." Luna said as she as she is starting to lose felling in her hooves. After a while of Luna stumbling round and knocking things over making a huge noise which happened to grab the royal guards attention who happen to walk past Luna's room. Knock-knock knock-knock, "Princess are you okay in there?" The guard asked about to enter the room for being concerned for the princess. "I'm okay, I just tripped over something in the dark." Luna said as she laid on the side with cuts and broses all over her. "Okay then, but would you like me to come in and check up with you?" the guard asked with his hoof on the door handle ready to turn and open the door with Luna's permission. "No I'm fine. You should head off and enjoy the rest of your night." Luna said to stop the guard from entering her room and seeing her the way she is. "Okay then, enjoy the rest of yours too princess." The guard said to Luna before he left and then continued on his way to his post. As the princess laid in pain from all of the cuts on her which is by the way bleeding profusely so much that it will cause any pony no matter how strong they are they will pass out. Once Luna is passed out through the loos of blood all of a sudden the blood that leaked out of the princess started to flow back inside Luna and once all of the blood has flowed back into Luna all of the cut and damages done to the body all vanished. "Dear young princess, today you are not going to die through loss of blood ha ha ha ha. WE still need you to give our message to your sister and the ponies that bare the power of the elements of harmony." A strange black misty shadow said as it was healing all of the cuts that was all over Luna. As the shadow finished healing up the wounds and cleaned up the mess that Luna made. The shadow gave Luna a little kiss on her forehead as it started to fade out of extinct. "I'll be seeing you in your dream princess Luna yours sincerely the element of sadness." said the shadow before he faded away. As Luna woke up she found herself inside of a black void with a misty fog just high enough to covers any ponies knees all around her. As Luna looked around she was hearing a fate laughing coming from somewhere around her and getting louder. As the voices Luna could just make out 6 different voices. “Who’s there?! Show your selves!” Luna shouted in demand. Why should we show ourselves? You didn’t even say please, but who said that we could even do such a thing.” Said a female’s voice in the distance. “Hello Luna, My name is Alexander and at the moment we are using our magic to talk to you but we cannot show ourselves because we are not stronger enough yet or do any physical harm to any other pony except for you Luna. But the reason why that we brought you here is to see if you ‘would like to do something for us’. We want you to deliver a message but we have a problem that if you say yes to our request how do we know that you won’t tell the ponies that we want the message to be sent to. So would you accept our request Luna?” A shadow calmed. “And what if I refuse your request and not give it to the right ponies that you need to hear the message. Luna asked. “If you remember that we can do physical harm to you then well … I’ll take control of your body right not and head to the main area where the most ponies are walking, then I’ll position you where every pony can see you right before I start to twist your body every possible direction snapping every bone to dust killing you at the same time and once you hit the ground with your lifeless body I’ll leave your body with a huge force which will cause your dead corps to explode onto every pony in that area and to make sure that every pony remembers your death and in great detail as well they’ll be scrapping you up off the floor, wall and the roof for the next week. And also forget about being brought back to life from the dead we leave a signer spell on any one we possess/ take control all of that is what will happen to you and for the rest of the ponies well … … … they are not going to know that we are coming. So are you still thinking of saying no after what I said.” Alexander explained Luna the position that she is in. “Okay then, the way that you but it to me it (gulp) it seems like that I don’t even have a choice if I want to live through this … … … … … so I will gladly accept to give the ponies at mind your message but … … … Who-” Luna said before she got cut off. “The ponies that we would like to give the message to is the ponies known as Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and your sister Celestia. No more, no less and we can tell if there is any pony else is listening to your little meeting and if they do we will rip you into pieces in front of everypony including the little ears dropper.” Alexander told Luna to answer her question. “Okay, just give me until the morning and I’ll give those ponies your message.” Luna told Alexander hoping for something to work. “Ha-ha ha-ha. Well then I now see that we are at an agreement then, please note that we are only doing this so that every pony that needs to know of our coming … but we could just kill you know and then just start ‘testing’ the ‘elements of harmony’. Also another thing to let you know is that when an element ‘fails/ falls’ their little test they will be killed through their elements and as that pony takes their last breath that element will fade and disconnect form that pony and everything that was banished from using the elements will be brought back as a symbol of an element/ pony as failed to prove themselves. All they have to do is show how their element affect them with their day to day lives and be stronger than our influence that we create. However if somehow the all the ponies pass the test then we’ll have to go on to the group test.” Alexander told Luna. “Okay then, can I please head to the real world now-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-.” Luna said as she got sent to the real world.
