//------------------------------// // Elements of the Night // Story: Most Wonderful of Nights // by Verge77 //------------------------------// "They're called the Elements of Night. They are just as powerful as the Elements of Harmony were. I have the elements of Shroud and Dreams; you will get the elements of Deceit and Phases" She lifts the two crystals either side of Chrysalis "You will represent the way the night plays with the mind and the cycles of the moon; where as I will represent darkness and dreams" The crystals glowed two different greens and they rested against her sides. Chrysalis was enveloped by green fire in an instant. Metal clanging and scraps could be herd from within the blaze. Chrysalis's guards rushed Night only to smash headlong into a shield she had around her. After a few long minutes of waiting the fire subsided and Chrysalis emerged unharmed and sporting a set of black armour. The armour itself was very sleek. It had moulded to her form perfectly creating a light yet strong form. Gems had formed into a hard caprice like form on her underbelly and she had a crown that was jagged with holes cut into it. The armour had hinges where the wings would retract from. "I feel... stronger..." Chrysalis muttered looking at her hooves. "Faster... and my magic!" She said going wide eyed. "You'll get used to the new power quickly. Now we have to learn how to use it" She grinned. *** Night flew at top speed. Faster than she had ever flown before. At the very last minute before impact she pulled up slowing herself enough to drop to her hooves effortlessly. She looked over at a green light coming from over the hill and began walking towards it. "Ah there you are Night" Chrysalis said walking past a green orb of light. "You missed your target" She said with a grin. "On the contrary, I wasn't aiming for your beacon at all. I wanted to land over this hill, my sister showed me this spot. You get the best view of the stars this side of Equestria here" She sighed walking back over the hill with her head held low. Chrysalis followed after her with a worried look on her face. "Night? Are you alright?" Chrysalis asked holding out a hoof to offer comfort. Night sighed "I'm fine... It's just, the first time I see my sister in 1,000 years and she wants to kill me" Night says a tear coming to her eye. Chrysalis rubbed her hoof through Night's mane "It's alright, we'll use these Elements of Night to stop her" "I don't want to stop her I want her back! She's my sister and I made a terrible mistake by trying to destroy her all those years ago! I was a fool to think that Equestria wanted me as a ruler" Night snaps, laying down and covering her eyes with her hooves. "I am a terrible pony for what I did and I deserve whatever sun stroke does to me" Night begins to sob. "Nonsense! You are a brilliant leader and a wonderful pony. Equestria is a much better place under your guidance..." "That was all you! If you didn't come to me when you did Equestria would have fallen into anarchy!" Night cuts her off. "Alright Night. I'm going back to the castle I have something I need to take care of. We will continue this talk later. Be careful, I don't want to see you getting hurt anytime soon" Chrysalis says standing and spreading her wings. She gives a final wave of goodbye and takes off heading back to the castle. Leaving Night alone in the grass.
