Princess Luna wanted to throw up. The being in Skye's place had just swiped it's weapon, and instantly killed one of the Queen's elite guards. There was a heavy silence in the room, as the deed continued, with the changelings rushing it, and the center of the room being drenched in green.
It hadn't taken long for it to kill the elites, they couldn't put up much of a fight at all. Luna's dread spiked higher, as the dark clad being turned around, facing the tide of changelings that had been keeping her in her position. Where Skye's eyes were white, this one's were the color of cyan, a touch darker. They gleamed in the sunlight, and seemed to take pride in it's deeds. The changelings that were stiff with fear instinctively took a step back, before mustering what should have been non-existent courage, and charging the being.
It raised the greatsword up, slamming the blade to the ground, as the weapon made contact with the floor, a tidal wave of black spikes rose around the being, impaling numerous changelings upon them. Luna had also noticed that in the tide of spikes, there was a color she was familiar with, the navy blue like color radiating like midnight itself. Once the massacre had been finished, the dark being locked eyes with her, taking joy in her fear, before turning to the queen.
"Begone, We bear more power than you could ever hope to control!"
Queen Chrysalis looked at her options, only she remained, her elites lay in pieces while her brood lay with fatal holes in them. This was not the way she wanted this to go. This was not the way it should have been. She should have rightfully claimed him! Rightfully claimed this land of sappy ponies that were so xenophobic that her children starved! She narrowed her eyes, focusing on the object of her folly, she would return. She would make him hers, next time she would come prepared.
Everyone conscious watched on as the Queen took her exit, and as the windows were smashed and she took to a swift dash, they saw few black dots appear alongside her, looks like not all of the changelings were killed after all. Attention snapped back as the demon in Skye's place laughed, laughing at the princess trapped in a prison made by changelings.
It's voice returned, talking to the solar diarch spun upside down.
"This is hilarious. You who, was supposedly all powerful, powerful enough to stop me with those accursed gems!" The face turned to a snarl. "Well look who's powerless now? Maybe if you beg hard enough I'll shorten your banishment, but of course after you feel the pain you brought against me." The being readied it's sword, aimed to pierce through Celestia's prison, and through her. Luna made a futile dash towards her, only for her attention to be pulled towards the side of the alleged 'demon'.
Standing beside them, was a being similar to them, but in place of the white accents and nigh ethereal hair, was black hair. She could hear the voice whisper, it echoing in her mind loud and clear, and the words obviously had an effect on the being.
"Listen to my voice. Listen to our heartbeat. Listen... listen" As soon as it had appeared it was gone. The malevolent knight's weapon clattered to the ground, disappearing in a wave of darkness as it hit the ground. It fell to it's knees before the changes that initially made it that way reversed, the hair turning back to it's moonlight sheen, the armor dissipating, opting for the armor that Skye usually wore, and it's eyes returning from the cyan shade, to the normal white the being had been known for. Skye collapsed to the ground, no presence of his actions registering on his face as unconsciousness took him.
[Hours Later]
The invasion had been thwarted, not by the elements, not by a miracle of love, but by something malevolent. Princess Luna's thoughts were in a mess, from the moment of Skye's transformation, to the moment up until the guards registered that he was indeed unconscious, and had likely been that way for sometime. She had managed to track down a possible time he had been knocked out, when the changeling queen, Queen Chrysalis had tried to override his mind. She had tried to go digging for the answers herself, by going through Skye's memories, but found nothing. When she had entered the dream realm to find his door in there, she found it, the door was made from a dark wood that looked black if not for it's white trim on it. When she had opened that door, she was blinded by the light, a lone platform shone through the dark, within it's various points were crystals, that were blackened, and within the center, floated Skye.
(Didn't think it would be a good idea to put image in seeing as it has words about FFXIV and copyrights: Hydaelyn's Blessing)
Luna had been unable to figure out what that diagram was, what it could mean, and what were with the crystals within it? Answers for another time, answers she would get as soon as Skye woke up, currently he was out in the medical wing, it seemed that during the fight he had gotten numerous lacerations, fighting without thought of safety. That worried her, if he sustained attacks here, what did he deal with wear he came from, where he said that fighting was commonplace? Luna walked towards her destination, the throne room.While most damage had been repaired, there was still trouble with repairing the throne doors, the enchantments on them having been shattered when Skye broke through them. She took note that everyone had arrived, numerous captains, the elements of harmony, and even her niece, Princess Cadence.
"Good, now we can begin." Luna's eyes shifted to her sister, while she remained in her mask, she knew she was furious, angry that such an invasion had happened, but she also felt the presence of fear. Her fear was towards a certain unconscious being halfway across the castle. The rest of this day was going to be arduous, arduous indeed. So she decided to relieve her discovery to the room, perhaps that would help with some of the questions on how the invasion had came to a halt. It would not work how she thought it would.
