The brighten moon where stars to glitter to hope, Were shrouded beneath the stain to deal such cope. Twilight must find a solution, an action be haste, For Ponyville was soon to cover in a horror's paste, With a few of friends to deal such rough, For the journey ahead will be tough. "What are we doing? We should stand up and fight? Why are we running from their sight? We should help the others instead to run, We should find a way to return Luna and the rightful sun!" Rainbow Dash was bold but too much of proud, For she could not bear to see that it shroud. Beneath the shadow where monsters lied, Laid a sinister creature that it linger to hide. Beyond the horror that darkness would bring, Laid something more that many should cling. A size of great that spew of rife, That demand the depths to a scary life. With razor sharp claws and a horrible smile, Of his glowing eyes that stretch a mile. The gang was frozen and demand such cause, But Twilight could only stare, silently paused. The monster was large, larger than the rest, That stand their way in a bigger test. "Go on, Twilight, we'll cover your back, Just find a way to stop the attack!" Apple and Dash stood their ground, While Pinkie and Spike distract the creature around. Twilight was grateful and speed without a second, For Ponyville had grown chaotic, like Discord's obsession. She wondered into her home, but was quickly cut short, For the another figure arrived with a disturbing snort. The creature was not a pony, that Twilight understood, For it was tall and stout that was made of wood. Its head had spun, without pain or ache, For it show two mirrors of love and hate. Twilight backed away and headed off, Into the forest of dark to hear their scoff. Ignored all the way, she went deeper still, To find something different and a corpsely fill.
