//------------------------------// // A princess is born // Story: Nightmare Moon is Maleficent // by Twilight Star //------------------------------// Discord and Nightmare Moon spent a lot of time together. Most of the time, Nightmare Moon asked Discord to become a crow to spy on King Sombra’s castle.  Nightmare Moon was now waiting for Discord to return. She knew she shouldn’t be annoyed that Discord was slow. Because she knew King Sombra’s castle was far from Everfree Florest. Until she saw the crow-shaped Discord return, “turns Dragonequus”  The crow was once again a Dragonequus, “I have two news that I just discovered now”  “Which are they?”  “The first is that Celestia is a queen”  Nightmare Moon was surprised. So that was why Celestia wanted to steal her wings. To become a queen? “What’s the other one?”  “Celestia and Sombra had a daughter. The Brezzies will give the princess blessing gifts today ”  Nightmare Moon was surprised. They had a daughter and she wasn’t even informed? “I was invited?”  “From what I hear no,” answered Discord.  Nightmare Moon felt hatred. It wasn’t enough that Celestia had taken off her wings, and now Celestia decides not to invite her? She had to find a way to make Celestia regret doing that, “I have an idea. But we’ll have to be there when everypony is in the throne room”    At Canterlot Castle in the throne room were Queen Celestia and King Sombra. It had a pink crib with stars and moons. In the crib was a lavender unicorn foal with dark blue mane. Breezie Apple Bloom, Breezie Sweetie Belle and Brezzie Scotaloo flew into the crib.  “Princess Twilight, I give you the blessing of living life with grace”, after Sweetie Belle said that, a shiny powder went to Twilight Sparkle. Twilight laughed at the glow and tried to catch with the hooves.  “Princess Twilight, I give you the blessing of living life with beauty”, after I said that, a bright glow went to Twilight Sparkle. Twilight tried again to pick up the hooves.  Now it was Apple Bloom’s turn, “Princess Twilight, I…”  Suddenly the lights went out. Guests saw a tall black-haired unicorn with light blue armor. In the blue armor on her breastplate was a drawing of a moon. On the back was a black crow. Everypony was confused. Who was this unicorn? Less Celestia, who recognized very well, Luna…  “Well, well ...” smiled Nightmare Moon. “A party where everypony was invited except me”  “Luna…” said Celestia, unintentionally out loud.  Nightmare Moon looked at Celestia, “Well if it’s not Celestia. Or should I say Queen Celestia ”  Celestia was startled by the way Nightmare Moon said when she said “queen”, “Luna, what are you doing here? You were not invited ”  “Am I not invited?” asked Nightmare Moon, as if offended, before laughing “not even to give my niece the blessing?”  Nightmare Moon approached the crib. Twilight Sparkle smiled as she saw Nightmare Moon, “step away from the princess!”  Nightmare Moon looked back and saw Brezzie Apple Bloom, Breezie Scotaloo and Breezie Sweetie Belle. She grabbed the three of them with her magic and trapped them in a glass spot.  “You’re not offended, are you?” asked King Sombra.  “Offended? No. And to know that I am not offended, I will also give a gift of blessing as well”, said Nightmare Moon.  Nightmare Moon began to use its magic. From her horn came purple magic, “Princess Twilight will grow up with grace and beauty, she will be loved by animals. But on their seventieth birthday, when the sun goes down, Twilight will stick her hoof on an aroca needle and she’ll die!”  Everypony gasped in surprise. Celestia went to Nightmare Moon, “please, Luna! Don’t do it! I do anything!”  Nightmare Moon raised an eyebrow. “Anything, you say? And my name is not Luna anymore. It’s Nightmare Moon!”  “Yes! Anything!”  “Very well then. The curse can be undone with the kiss of true love and there will be no spell that can undo”, after she said that, Nightmare Moon canceled the spell. Several royal guards went to Nightmare Moon,“ Get away, you foals! ”Nightmare Moon threw several bolts at the guards and they ended up being noucatted. She turned into a mist and walked out the window. The crow followed Nightmare Moon.  “And now? What do we do?” asked Celestia. She could feel nothing that all this was her fault. If she hadn’t betrayed Luna, none of this would have happened.  “We can take Princess Twilight into a forest near Everfree Florest”, offered Brezzie Apple Bloom.  “Yes. We’re good with babies and foals”, said Brezzie Scotaloo.  “OK. Just let me get things ready ”, said King Sombra.    After King Sombra finished organizing Twilight Sparkle things, he handed it to Brezzie Sweetie Belle, “It’s too heavy,” she said.  “Can’t you become a mare?”  “Of course. How didn’t i think of that? ”  Suddenly the powder covered Breezie Sweetie Belle, and now she was a mare, “it worked!”  Brezzie Scotaloo and Breezie Apple Bloom have become mares too, “now it will be easy. It will be very easy to take care of the princess”, said Apple Bloom.
