Chapter 7

The six friends were pulled through a portal of twisting colors until they reached their destination. Twilight and her friends now realized that they had teleported inside Princess Celestia’s bedroom, Celestia and Luna were waiting for them there. Twilight raced to her mentor’s side with dozens of questions. The other five mares were still getting to their feet,

“Twi, warn us the next time yer gonna do something like that.” Applejack said while brushing her hat off.

“I didn’t even know what that letter would do.” Her gaze now fell upon the two princess’s.

“I apologize for the sudden summoning, but after I read your letter I had to act fast.” Celestia said.

“We have the spell prepared. Maybe now we can get some answers.” Luna said glaring at her older sister.

“Are you ready to begin Rainbow Dash?” Celestia asked the cyan pegasus. “

Yeah.” Rainbow said weakly.

“Dashie what’s wrong with your eye? Why did you freak out like that?” Pinkie asked.

“Because this is HIS EYE!” Rainbow shouted tears streaming down her face. “The stallion in my nightmare has this color eye. I don’t know whats happening, I think I really am going crazy.” Rainbow said holding her hooves over her head. Celestia put a wing on Rainbows shoulder.

“Rainbow, look at me. I know you’re scared and upset, but the only way for us to find out what’s going on is for me to go into your mind and see what’s going on up there.” Celestia said. “Okay princess, let’s do it.” Rainbow said while wiping the tears from her eyes.

Rainbow laid her head down on the massive pillow in the princess’s bed. Celestia laid right next to her.

“Ready?” The princess asked Rainbow Dash.

“Ready.” Rainbow replied. Celestia’s horn began to glow and rainbow dash fell asleep. Celestia now felt herself in a body like that of when she was a filly. She observed her surroundings and realized the spell had worked, she was in Rainbow dash’s dream.

“Back again I see.” Celestia/Dash turned around to see the dark stallion that had plagued her friends dreams. The stranger stepped forward but stopped suddenly. “Wait, there’s some one else here too isn’ there?” The stranger now glared at Celestia/Dash, studying them. “YOU!!!! CELESTIA!!” He bellowed. Celestia/Dash now frozen with fear as the stranger charged, blade drawn. Before he could react Celestia and Rainbow dash separated. The sun goddess looking at the stranger in horror.

“No, It can’t be.” she said in fear.

“It can and IT IS!!!” The stranger now had his sights set on the princess. As he was about to charge Celestia shouted a single word.

“LUNA!!!!” The next second Rainbow and Celestia disappeared from the dream and woke up on the be both of them dripping in a cold sweat.

“What happened in there?” Luna asked her sister. Celestia sat on the bed shaking in terror. “Sis? Tia? What’s wrong?” Twilight and the rest of Rainbows friends galloped over to comfort their friend.

“I’m so sorry Rainbow Dash, I’ve failed you.” Celestia said fighting through the tears.

“The stallion, It sounded like you knew him or something.” Rainbow said trying to regain her composure.

“Indeed I did.” Celestia said getting to her hooves.

“Well who is he?” Rainbow demanded. The princess then stood up and ordered the guard to fetch some tea for her and her guests. When the guard returned with the tea Celestia calmed herself down and began.

“That stallions name is Night Scorcher and he was the first pony ever to wield the element of loyalty.”
