Arctic runner- vol 1 catching shadows

shadows in the dream world

"Well this is new." I said opening my eyes I found myself at the abandoned highway

"Indeed as I would say" the shadow said.

"You and I both know we don't have dreams" I replied turning to face myself but in a dark shrouded mist wearing the dragons claw mask.

"Except when a mind or dream reader is near." the shadow replied

"Should we wait for them or should we make a plan?"

"Seeing how 'most' of them are tolerable we should wait."

"Same here."

throne room

"Tia, do you feel that"

"Yes Lulu, It feels similar to when you became nightmare moon."

"Yet it feels entirety different."

"Shade Ursa come fourth!! a scream echoed throughout the throne room flowed by a "Your open!!! and a *crack*

"That sounded like Fluttershy." Celestia said, "Why is she doing trying to summon an Ursa?"

"That isn't what confuses me sister." Luna spoke up.

"And what would that be."

"The darkness is now receding from her into another."

"Yes, but it now feels weaker than it did before."

"As well, I should look into the dreams the other to see if it is a threat or not." Luna stated.

"Just be careful sister."

"Its ben a full ten minutes real time barley one hour dream time." The shadow suddenly said.

A strange warp in the dream space caused us to startle into our yin-yang defense position witch put me between the strange warp and the shadow behind ready to attack if majorly threatened.

"Who there!!" I said with a Drill Sargent tone.

The warp suddenly cracked the dream space and opened a gate for 'somepony' as twilight corrected me walked through. From first I could tell she was of royal heritage not only because of the crown but because of her horn 'and' wings.

"Shade stand down." I ordered.

The shadow slowly reveled its self. Still not dropping his guard.

"I am Princess Luna, Princess of the night, who are you might I ask." She said not walking toward me but the shadow.

well that is odd most people who do this don't walk up to the shadow for fear of corruption, and is that the stone of eternal darkness

"You might want to stand away from him he has a ....... Destructive, personality to put it lightly." I warned.

"Huh? Another spirit in one body." she said.

"No ,that is actually the embodiment of my hate and anger." I stated while sizing her up. "Most people er ponies tend to be frightened by him."

"So witch one is dominate?" Luna questioned.

"That depends," The shadow said.

"When asleep it tends to be a stalemate." I added.

"But when awake he is dominate save for when he uses too much of my power."

"What do you mean?" she questioned.

"Usually it is when we get into a fight." The shadow stated.

"Mostly of terms of self defense." I added "Now we have answered your questions now you will answer one of ours."

"Seems fair."

"You have a dark resonance surrounding you." I said. "Why is that?"

That caught Luna off guard. Knowing he could sense the tremors of her past.

"You were like us at one time, weren't you," the shadow said.

"Yes and no, it was a thousand years ago," she began, "I thought no one liked the night as I always do, a-and..." she started to sob lightly.

Taking notice of this, i realized she shouldn't go further with her story.

"I understand. Like he said we were once alike but," I shuddered at the thought "Time.... has given us a second chance best not waste it dwelling in the past."

"Daybreak is soon I must leave now." she said wiping away a few tears.

"See you sooner or later." I called as she disappeared.

"Well that was... eventful." the shadow said.

"I should probably awaken about now." I said disappearing, leaving the shadow to the dream space.
