The colt opened his eyes and saw Shadow Constellation, "W-what happened and where are we?" He looked around and saw Pure Jewel, Sparkling Crystal, Silver Soul, White Rose, White Angelic and Red Rose. He saw that he was in a place that was like a castle. It was probably over a century old but it looked familiar to Star. There were two flags near two chairs, one has the sun and the second one had the moon. There were many pathways and doors. This place reminded him of the past. Seraphic Nightmare walked towards him, "We are in the old royal castle which is in the Everfree forest. How are you feeling?" The colt stood up and spoke, "I'm fine. Where is Aun---, I mean Flutter Night?" The spirit glanced at the windows, "She is in one of the other rooms, admiring the beautiful sun..." ~~~ Flutter Night was in a secret room that she found, which was actually Princess Silence's bedroom. She opened the door that led to a balcony and glanced at the bright and warm sun. Images appeared in her mind again, but this time there was no blue-violet alicorn. The two alicorns, the rulers of Equestria, were still there, but there was a dark silver alicorn filly with a lavender mane and blue eyes with them instead. The three of them were smiling happily. They were playing with each other happily. The white alicorn and blue-violet alicorn smiled at the dark silver alicorn, who was looking at the beautiful sun. Who is that other pony? Seraphic Nightmare never mentioned another princess except Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. She heard the door open and faced the door. She saw Star Sentinel, Pure Jewel, Silver Soul, and White Angelic smiling. Silver Snow spoke, "What have you been doing?" Flutter Night spoke sheepishly, "J-just gazing at the warm and beautiful sun..." White Angelic looked towards the sun, "Let's go home, I'm starving! Can you make that berry smoothie of yours again? Those were delicious! How about we each cook something and have some fun?" They all nodded in agreement and began to walk to the entrance. Flutter Night looked at the sun one more time and smiled. That filly reminded me of myself... but that can't be me, I'm not a princess, right? Who cares, I wonder more about it next time. Every demon except Seraphic Nightmare followed the five happy and noisy ponies. White Rose glanced at the other three demons, "She's going back since her mission is over." Red Rose glanced up at the sky, "I hope we see her again and you know who as well." Shadow Constellation smiled, "Maybe we will... There is always hope that they'll be back." The cyan spirit had disappeared and the five ponies, Sparkling Crystal, White Rose, Red Rose and Shadow Constellation walked home to start their fun party... ~~~ Seraphic Nightmare sat near a silver alicorn with a black mane and red eyes and a white alicorn with a rainbow-colored mane and red eyes. The spirit glanced at the white alicorn, "Mother, I have completed my mission." The white alicorn flew closer to the cyan alicorn and smiled, "Well done, my dear." "Mother, I miss her. Can I go back to be with her again?" the spirit asked. The white alicorn sighed, "You already know, she wasn't your real master, my dear. She belongs to your twin sister, Silent Eclipse." The white alicorn pointed her hoof towards the small silver alicorn. The silver alicorn spoke sheepishly, "Um... Mother? Actually, I was told by Lunar Night and Solar Day that me and Angelic Night are both Princess Silence's demons. But isn't any mission we have to do next?" Seraphic Nightmare smiled, "Really? But they know me as Seraphic Night, what do I do?" The white alicorn patted her daughter's head with her hoof, "You must tell them that your real name is Angelic Night. Now go with Silent Eclipse. Your new mission, for both of you, is to get Princess Silence back to her old self and help her gain her memories back." The two twin siblings nodded and spoke in unison, "Yes, Mother." They started to fade together until they disappeared back to the magical world of Equestria. ~~~ Flutter Night's house was filled with commotion. Flutter Night decided to make her berry smoothie again, Pure Jewel made crispy and delicious peach pie, White Angelic made extra crispy hay fries, Star made ordinary daisy sandwiches and Silver Soul made Double Chocolate Fudge Cake with whipped cream all over the cake. The four demons brewed all sorts of coffee and tea. All nine of them heard the door bell ring and went over to the door. Flutter Night opened it and saw Seraphic Nightmare with a small silver alicorn with a black mane and red eyes. Shadow Constellation whispered to the other demons, "See? I told you Mother wouldn't be against those two's wishes." The three demon sisters rolled their eyes and sighed. Flutter Night smiled, "Where were you, Seraph---" The cyan alicorn interrupted her, "Don't call me that anymore, my real name is Angelic Night." The five ponies yelled, shocked, "What?! And who is that?" "This is my twin sister, Silent Eclipse. She is Flutter Night's new demon," Angelic Night continued. The spirits twin sister spoke sheepishly as she dipped her head, "Um... Hello. My name is Silent Eclipse... A-and I can't wait to have f-fun with y-you all..." This was the beginning of a new adventure... and a whole lot of fun. To Be Continued
