Luna sat at her desk, the dark oak wood heavily contrasting with the piles of letters and complaints laying atop it.
She sighed and rubbed her temples with her hooves. She hated to do Royal work, absolutely hated it.

"*Sniff*  Auntie Luna? Auntie Luna, I had a bad dream...."

Luna turned her head to the doorway, standing there was her nephew, his grey coat contrasted by the slashes of crimson, his white mohawk was frizzled and disorderly, and his large Amber eyes were filled with tears.
He held a stuffed toy that resembled a dark pony with a green mane and a large 'X' For a CutieMark. He held the doll close to him as he walked inside.

Luna Smiled and patted the seat next to her.

"Well come Child, tell me about it and it'll all make everything better."

"Okay...."

The Colt put the toy on his back and scrambled up onto the stool Luna sat in. His eyes still held a sadness that broke her heart.

"So what happened in this dream?"

"Well, in the dream, I was running through a dark forest, there was fog everywhere and I could barely see. I could hear voices from all around me, they kept whispering. All I could hear them say was 'He is unseen. He is Unseen.' Then the whispers grew to a regular level. And this time they were saying 'The blooded one returns, and he will kill all.' I just kept running, and running, i eventually came to a cave, it was filled with mold and bones, I crawled inside, and inside was a strange two legged creature, sitting on a throne, I could see it's bones Auntie, it's bones! Then the whispers started screaming and it hurt so much, just so much. They were screaming 'The blooded one brings death, all hail the Blooded One!' Then the skeleton on the throne stood up and it stomped right up to me, it looked at me and it's eyes were flaming whirlpools of hate, it looked at me, then it knelt before me like ponies do to mom and you Auntie, and it said....."

Luna was terrified by this. But she needed answers. "Yes Child, what did it say...TELL ME!!!"

Her nephew recoiled from this, and his eyes seemed to grow even more scared.

"It said.....It said..."

"What did it say?"

"It said ' All hail the blooded one."
