Celestia woke up from a surprisingly well rested night with her usual dreams about eating cake of course. she got up at the usual time to raise the sun into the sky as the moon fell over the horizon. As she finished her sister Luna entered the room. "Greetings sister how is thee?" Luna said forgetting that she slipped into the old tongue again. "You did it again but, yes I am well. I have been feeling something strange and I do not know what it is." Celestia said as she looked out over the view of the city and Ponyville out in the distance. "We felt it too. I do not think it is good either." Luna Said as she walked up next to her sister. "We will monitor the situation and inform Twilight Sparkle as she may feel the same thing knowing her power." Celestia said "Then I will leave you be." Luna said as she left Celestia waited for the door to close before she looked back over the city once more before turning away from it heading towards the throne room. She knew something was wrong she felt something enter Equestria but, she could not locate it anywhere. She no doubt knew that her sister felt it as well but, she would tell her when she had found the source. as she was going to until she felt something nagging at her mind. She began to hear a voice echo in her mind. "I am here as they sing...Ashes to Ashes..Dust to Dust." the voice said sound like there was more than one voice talking at once. She then blinked and found herself in a field she looked down to see that the ground had been turned to ashes. She heard a roar and then a Dragon about half her size walk up to her. It then hovered with out flapping its wings and came to stop infront of her. "I am waiting for day to dawn as night to dusk, but you however will burn to dust!" the voice shouted before lunging at her. She came around and found that she was in her chambers rather, not in a field like she had seen. She started to feel a rumble and a giant mass of energy and it was powerful. "Shadow Demon you are needed.” Shadow Staker said as he walked over to the sleeping four legged dragon. As he heard a groan escape him. “What in the 7 realms are you waking me up this early for?” Shadow Demon asked. “I think your little stick attracted the attention of the princess.” Stalker said as he looked down at Shadow Demon. Shadow Demon would never admit it when he looked up to Stalker he always felt intimidated. “So what is my so great full mission that I must complete?” Shadow Demon said as he fell off the bed before him. Shadow Demon was soon picked up by Stalker and gently put back down. “You know what I will do this myself.” Stalker said as he made his way to the cave entrance.
