Nightlight

You know that book that let Twilight know about Nightmare Moon.

Ya I planted it there.

I never really did tell her about Luna before hoof but honestly I have no idea how she didn't notice the connections on her own.

When it came time to use the elements on Nightmare Moon I was hiding nearby in order to investigate the area after.

After the elements purified her Luna and Celestia were reunited.

The emotions were so powerful they caused a short range burst of love.

I took a sample of the love for one of my projects.

One I will hopefully never have to use.

After I concluded my investigation I waited by the chariot back to Canterlot staying invisible to keep from being obvious.

On the fly back Luna asked Celestia if I was supposed to be there.

I had told Celestia that I would make it back to Canterlot on my own but in my defense I never did say that I wouldn't hitch a ride.

I let out a small chuckle as Celestia said that she would explain who I was when introducing Luna to a few others.

When we made our way to Celestia's office we passed Iron Shields' old office which now belonged to Shining Armor.

He would be among those that Luna would be immediately introduced too.

Cadance would be there as well.

I must say Luna's reaction to a new alicorn was not as amusing as Celestia.

Cadance had been told about me being capable of seeing into the possible future but we had never told her to what extent I could.

This meant that Celestia and I would have to tell Luna more later.

Luna

The stallion who was hiding on the chariot was actually a member of my guard.

Nightlight, that was his name.

The father of Twilight Sparkle the element of magic and personal student of my dear sister.

Not only that but is her elder brother was the captain of my sister's own guard.

And the tale of how he had rescued the newest alicorn of Equestria by leading a team of guards into battle against powerful naga warriors.

He was truly skilled at his job.

At his own request we were to keep the true extent of his knowledge a secret even from those closest to him.

I felt guilty about not telling Cadenza about it all but Nightlight made a few compelling arguments involving future events.

But what really got my attention was that Nightlight was a changeling.

This metamorphosis that he was trying to bring about.

I was looking forward to it.

The true paradise that Equestria was on the path to become as he put it, I couldn't wait to see it.

Nightlight

Velvet and I were over due for a vacation in fact I had it scheduled for when Discord breaks free.

After a little time later I had to deal with Trick Star and Trixie when Twilight beat her.

I noticed Trixie skim a book I left open to the Alicorn Amulet.

I knew that it would be okay with the fake that I had created.

As for Tirek...

Tirek

Sometime after the bugbear was put in Tartarus.

Damn you Scorpan.

You had to go and betray me for those puny ponies.

You fool we could have had it all.

And I would have finally proved to be the master of my own destiny.

To no one in particular, "I will prove that I am the master of my own destiny..."

Before I could continue my monologue a voice hissed, "To yourself or to another?"

I quickly looked at my surroundings in search of the voice.

As I looked towards the back and saw that my shadow was far darker than it should have been.

A sinister face appeared in it.

My shadow grew to a more muscular form and smiled.

After a quick glance around I leaned in and asked if their was something I could do for my unexpected guest.

The shadow smiled and said that it was not so different from me.

Apparently it had the ability to see into potential futures.

Most of it's visions were useless but sometime ago it ended up in a situation where it can really affect the future.

It wished to change fate.

I asked what that had to do with me.

Apparently at some time in the future something will happen that will cause magic to leak out of our world into another.

It would like to know how I steal magic to use it to prevent this from happening.

With that reason I had no reason not to but what would I get out of it.

It's grin grew even more and it said that it would break me out of here when the time was right.

It also said that with luck I can prove to change my own fate.

My shadow returned normal and I was silent.

Leaning back in my cell I smiled.
