chapter 2 ~ how the five bearers met
The young pegasus filly, known as Flutter Night, fully recovered from her headache and was peacefully eating her favorite lunch, daisy sandwiches.
As she was peacefully eating her daisy sandwiches, she heard the doorbell of her home. "Mmum, Smeraphic Mightmare, ompen the dmoor mlease?"
The spirit nodded, walked towards the door and opened it. She saw four ponies: three fillies and one colt.
"Flutter Night, we have visitors," the spirit yelled.
Then she whispered, "Were you sent by Princess El?"
The four ponies nodded and the colt glared at the spirit.
"Why does the princess need to ask four ponies to help a merciless killer who killed the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, the princesses and destroyed the Crystal Empire?"
The spirit glanced at the colt, "Your name is Star Sentinel, adopted son of Princess Luna, right?"
The colt nodded, "How do you know?"
The spirit sighed, "You are one of the royal guards in Canterlot and the princess told me all your names."
The colt, known as Star Sentinel, asked, "So why do we need to help a killer who killed my mother?"
The spirit ponies glanced at Star Sentinel," Didn't she tell you? She has no idea that she killed ponies and she will soon find out because her memory of being Seraphic Night is starting to open up and when she finds out, nothing can stop her,not even her self. So please help me. Wait a minute, do you ponies have demons?"
She sensed demons near by but wasn't sure where it was from.
A silver alicorn filly, known as Silver Snow, looked at the spirit, "Wait, how do you know? Wait, are you a demon?"
Four spirits appeared beside each pony, then looked at the other spirit, which was known as Seraphic Nightmare.
Seraphic Nightmare gasped, "You four?!"
The spirits smiled at Seraphic Nightmare, "Why hello, Seraphic Nightmare," they said in unison.
A while alicorn filly glanced at the four spirits, "You know this demon?"
The spirit who was beside the white alicorn spoke, "White Angelic, this is our sibling. Her name is Seraphic Nightmare as you know."
The spirit took its true form: a crimson red alicorn with a golden mane and blue eyes.
Seraphic Nightmare glanced at the spirit, "Red Rose, when did you get a master? You too, White Rose, Sparkling Crystal, and Shadow Constellation."
The three other spirits took their true forms: White Rose was a white alicorn with a golden mane and blue eyes, Sparkling Crystal was a silver pegasus with a purple mane and turquoise eyes, and Shadow Constellation was a gray unicorn with blue mane and green eyes.
The spirit, known as White Rose, glanced at Seraphic Nightmare and spoke, "My master is Silver Snow, Red Rose's is White Angelic, Sparkling Crystal's is Pure Jewel and Shadow Constellation's is yours truly, Star Sentinel."
Seraphic Nightmare sighed, "Okay, now do you want to come in now?"
The eight ponies, including the spirits nodded and walked into the house, going to the kitchen.
The pegasus filly, Flutter Night, faced the doorway, "What took so long?"
She saw her demon friend with eight other ponies, "Who are they? There is really four visitors, each with a demon, right?"
Seraphic Nightmare nodded, "Yeah, they are Silver Snow, White Angelic, Pure Jewel and Star Sentinel."
Flutter Night walked towards the ponies and spoke sheepishly, "Um... hi..."
She glanced at the ponies, seeing how they were friendly, but she was sort of afraid of the colt, whom was called Star Sentinel. He kept on glaring at her with hatred.
Why is he mad at me? What did I do? Does it have to do with what I saw before?
She screamed again, her head hurt so much that she couldn't take it. The four ponies, shocked, glanced at the spirit.
Seraphic Nightmare sighed, "Her headaches are back. Do you ponies want to stay for awhile?"
The four ponies nodded, then Silver Snow spoke, "We were told by the princess that we were supposed to stay here."
The spirit nodded, "Okay, I will get your rooms ready."
In her mind, Flutter Night saw herself, well what she thought was her, a blue-violet alicorn with a flowing starry mane and bloody-red eyes.
But I don't have red eyes or that mane... And I don't think I ever met any of these ponies. It can't be me.
The filly felt Seraphic Nightmare's hooves, patting her head, "Go to sleep, Flutter Night. Everything will be okay."
The filly closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Seraphic Nightmare left the room and went to lead the other four ponies to their rooms.
White Angelic, Silver Snow and Pure Jewel were assigned to sleep in Flutter Night's room, where Seraphic Nightmare put three extra beds next to each other, across from Flutter Night's bed. Star Sentinel was assigned in a separate room across from the four fillies' room. The four other demons were assigned in Seraphic Nightmare's room so the five siblings could have a little reunion.
Night soon came and everypony started to fall asleep.
Seraphic Nightmare teleported to Flutter Night's room before bedtime and kissed her forehead, "Nighty night, Flutter Night."
Flutter Night glanced at the demon, "Nighty night, Seraphic Nightmare."
As the sun rose, Flutter Night woke up, opening her eyes because of the bright and shining sun. She yawned, then got out of bed and began to walk down to the kitchen. As she walked to the kitchen, she heard many voices, confused.
Why are there so many voices? Seraphic Nightmare is the only pony who lives here with me. But in my room, I saw three extra beds and the room across from mine was occupied...
She was at the kitchen doorway and saw Seraphic Nightmare and the so-called 'visitors', making breakfast. Seraphic Nightmare felt her master's presence and glanced at the doorway.
Flutter Night appeared in the kitchen and yawned, "Good morning."
She was rubbing her eyes with her left hoof. The spirit looked at her master, then at the other ponies.
Seraphic Nightmare spoke, "Good morning, Flutter Night. Care for some breakfast? We have blueberry muffins and apple cinnamon muffins as well."
The pegasus filly yawned again, then glanced at the others, "What are they doing here?"
"Um, we are going to stay here for awhile," spoke White Angelic.
Flutter Night nodded, "Okay, um... Can I have some blueberry muffins?"
The young bat colt, Star Sentinel, gave her three blueberry muffins, "Um... here."
She noticed that he was rather quiet today, unlike yesterday when he was glaring at her the entire time.
The demons looked at each other and spoke in unison, "Um... let's sit down and eat."
Their masters nodded and took a seat in the table:
Sparkling Crystal and Shadow Constellation sat on the two shorter sides, while the others sat on the two longer sides.
Everypony was silent and glanced at Flutter Night and Star Sentinel. Everypony knew that Star Sentinel didn't really like the filly because of what happened to his mother, Princess Luna. The two ponies were silent and peacefully eating their muffins, ignoring each other.
Star Sentinel finished his breakfast and left the kitchen, "Thank you for breakfast."
He went to his room, remembering his mother.
It is all her fault that those ponies died, I will never forgive her, no matter what.
