Revenge of the Nightmares

by Commander_Pensword


Midnight Renewel

William blinked as he felt something nudged him awake. He yawns a little and looks around and blinked before actually shooting upright and then cringing in pain as he falls to lay on his side and actually fall out of bed as blanket, hooves, feathers, and a bit of mane or tail falls into his face. “Wha?”

Twilight’s voice broke through the mental confusion as William tried once more to get reoriented. “Well, uh… Princess Luna and Princess Celestia thought it best if I tried my hoof at trying to detect your magic, and… I,” She took a deep breath and blurted the next part out in a pinkie pie styled statement. “The next thing that we knew you turned back into your pegasus form and Pinkie Pie raced out to find a cake for you, Rarity is in the corner wondering what would fit your new form, Spike is excited to see it happen again and Rainbow actually yawned and said he knew this already.” There was a pause. “How did you know this before we did?” She turned to look at Rainbow Dash

Rainbow and William both shouted at the same time. “Classified.” There was a pause and then the two began to laugh a little at the situation a little. This only caused Pinkie Pie to pout, Rarity to rub a hoof over her ear, and the others just to shake their heads at the antics. Still William, a shake of the head as he reminded himself that in this form he was Nightstar.

“What’s the problem?” Nightstar asked… and then cursed himself in his head as he realized that he was using Luna’s knowledge of body language against his friends and learning and seeing things that he was sure that, he shook his head again as he knew that they were all hiding something badly from him.

“Well,” Rarity began as if trying to think of how to tactfully say something. However she was interrupted by Applejack who snorted a little and shook her head while taking her cowboy hat off the top of her head.

“What we are all trying to say sugarcube is that while we would like to stay and continue to learn about this crazy human world of yours…” She trailed off as well but William smiled a little.

“I was wondering when your real world lives would come back, thank you for your time and the help you have given me. If I can I will come and visit.” William smiled as he slowly untangled himself from the blankets around him. “Besides, It was I that messed up your Nightmare Night celebrations.” he shook his head, that felt so long ago, yet it was not in a way. “Still, uh, write will you?”

Twilight only smiled a little and patted Spike on the head with a hoof. “Sure, I can make sure that Princess Celestia gets the letters to forward to you, I think that would be the best for security.” She smiled a little as if from some debate between her and Rainbow Dash.

“Oh don’t mind those two.” Rarity had snuck up to William’s side. “Rainbow just forgot that Twilight's brother was Captain of the Guard.” She finished her little conspiracy whispers and trotted over to Spike and sat down and gave him a small pat on the head as well, this Nightstar realized was to change him from looking daggers at Nightstar to staring at Rarity with big puppy dog like eyes.

Pinkie only smiled and jumped up with another explosion of Confetti. “That would be terrific. Then you can meet Gummy, The Cakes, Roseluck, and…” She trailed off as she bounced out of the room and the others smiling and giggling a little left the room as well. Rainbow was the last to leave or rather faked leaving before turning around. “Nightstar,” She paused before shaking her head. “William, whoever you are, know this… you go rogue and harm any of my friends or the princesses I will beat you to a pulp.”

nightstar only nodded his head slowly. “Understood Cadet Dash of the Wonderbolts.” He smiled then softly and gave a Pegasus Salute to her, which she returned with a smirk.

“Not bad, still need a little practice, but I think you can be cool, not as cool or awesome as I, but still a little cool.” With those words Rainbow Dash left the room without a second look.

Nightstar groaned and shook his head as he was once more left alone in his room. He closed his eyes and opened them again. “Better see Luna, something feels off.” He smirked a little and slowly stepped forward to avoid the pain in his body. “Twilight, oh Twilight I thought you were smarter than this, I am stuck for the moment.” He shook his head. “Well, maybe one of the princesses can help with this,” He sighed but smiled as he slowly stretched out the muscles that he was still getting use to.. “Still, at least I can see what they were aiming for, seeing if I could survive with Unicorn Magic outside of the castle.” He laughed a little and slowly trotted to the door to get some breakfast.

He found that the last few days had allowed him to memorize the route to where he would eat with the two Rulers of Equestria. Halfway  to the breakfast room, two Lunar Guard ponies, or Threastles as he learned their species name were moved up to either side of him and gave him small sideways looks but he caught small smiles for a second. He was being escorted into the royal meal chambers once more he realized, a formality he felt now, but it felt good to have a little bit of protections. He would not have to worry about any more nobles trying to ruin his morning. To his surprise he found only Luna and Celestia eating, with a third spot set for a pony, he smirked a little as he thought to himself that Celestia must have already learned of his current form already.

Luna took a napkin and dabbed her muzzle a little. “As we learned from Twilight, we felt it would be rather remiss to miss a chance to teach thee some pony manners upon eating Breakfast.” Which she smirked. She was eating some dinner foods at the moment. “Come, sit, and partake and we shall teach as we go.”

Celestia only smiled. “I would agree, as you have been eating only sweets and our troops Guard Cookies, let us eat something a little more filling and healthy.” She smiled as she raised a small tea pot and poured a little tea and cream into the tea cup and presented it to Nightstar. “first a small sample of tea for your tastebuds.”

What followed was a rather enjoyable meal with tips and tricks and small corrections of what utensil to use. Then again Luna did give a grunt as she herself did not see the point of using so many different varying sizes of spoons, forks, or knives. Which cause a little laughter. It turned out that there were plans to change up the setting so as to help ponies a little. Go from outside in.

Still breakfast ended rather quickly and to NIghtstar's confusion Luna and Celestia left the room without another word and he found himself alone and so he slowly got up and moved to the windows of the room he had grown use to. He poked his head out the window and looked down upon the gardens and statues. He had grown use to Discord not being a statue even though that was what he thought he was. He shook his head and turned around only to see Discord grinning as he was once more wearing another shirt only this time it was a red shirt with a brass icon and a rectangle on the collar with four gold circles inside it.

Discord could only laugh as the Pegasus pony stepped back and stating only one letter. “Q?” he asked in confusion and fear.

He continued to laugh a little before settling to standing over him, towering over him a little with the forms being different now. “Oh my,” he only grinned in that voice. A voice that belonged to an actor on Earth. “I do have to say that while I do like how you knew of my chaos bringing, I am not this Q that you think I am. I am just Discord.” He was grinning widely and laughed a little as he pulled a rubber chicken from his back. “Still, I will give you this advice.” He handed the Chicken over, and it turned itself inside out to create a scroll. With some confusion and difficulties Nightstar was able to unroll the scroll and found something that surprised him.

“You are, you are willing to forgo playing with me, on the condition that I accept whatever it is that Luna asks of me?” William looked a little nervous. “You are saying, if I read this correctly, that I agree to her plans, and you will stop messing with me and reminding me of my home, why?”

“Why?” The master of chaos and mayhem asked with joy before his voice settling to be very serious and William remembered the times Q had turned serious. This was important William thought to himself. “Because if the Nightmares win. Then I won’t have any fun, and frankly… their dreams and actions and what they did to little lulu… I just want you to make them pay my little human maker of chaos.” With those words Discord vanished leaving the room empty. Literally empty as he took everything with him. Before it returned, but attached to the ceiling and not the floor. Nightstar shook his head and ruffled his feathers a little at the antics. “Discord.” he found himself unable to help but smile at this event.

It was a few moments out of the room that William realized one thing. He had eaten every item placed in front of him. From not just eggs but flowers, hay, and food that he was sure if prepared the way they were, he would. “I can eat like a pony.” he whispered to himself, but paused. He remembered a strange look from Luna and so at the first mirror to come across he paused and looked into the mirror. He realized that it was an impressive piece of work with gold around the edges and the glass was polished to perfection. He blinked and then opened his mouth a little to look at his teeth and what he found startled him, he could slowly see the changes, it was.. “But the enchantments aren’t active.” he muttered as he tried to get a better look at what he knew were tiny fangs in his mouth.

Still, he shook his head and moved away from the mirror, and shook his head a little harder. “Magic, well, maybe things are different for me… a body of magic and not flesh and blood truly… maybe the enchantments were mixing together?” he asked himself as he continued down the hallway as he tried to think of something to do for the day. He had no training scheduled, the Mane Six were packing to leave later in the day, and the Princesses were either going to bed or already in meetings. He heard during breakfast that Princess Celestia was going to meet with some of her advisers to deal with some border issues, as well as to come to a final compensation amount to the Apple Clan for using their land during the attack on what was now an imposing castle of the night in the Everfree forest near Ponyville.

So, here he was, he sighed and decided to go back to his room and read a little bit. What was meant to be a small reading season ended up being the rest of the day as he worked a little in reading from the small manuals and the Art of War that he had ended up owning thanks to the Nightmares, or whatever it was that gave him all the equipment in the first place. Still He soon was yawning and moved to lay down on the bed to take a small nap.

The next thing William knew, he woke to the sensation of his body being shook rapidly causing his eyes to shoot open to try and see just what was shaking him awake, he was in the castle, he knew that so what was happening was the castle under attack he wondered due to the heavy and rapid shaking, he moved his head to look to his left and where he felt hooves shaking him. what he saw was a heavy built mare in full night guard regalia looked down at him. her draconic eye's made him feel exposed. "it's time" she said before moving back to let William or Nightstar to get up and to get ready.

He blinked but nodded his head rolling out of the bed without any protest. The mare then began to lead him slowly out of the room and down the corridors of the palace, never leaving the Lunar side of the castle, he soon realised they were heading down a section he'd never been too before, and one that was almost always guarded by other Lunar Guards. the walls were blank, no pictures were on the walls, no banners hung from the ceiling.

He remained on alert. His wing feathers and fur bristling as he went on the edge, trying to draw in all the information he could, only problem was it was getting darker. He noticed that this was deliberate as the torches were getting further and further apart. As for the guard next to him, she was starting to blend into the shadows. He however kept his pace the same, but was working on being more... calm.

The corridor ended abruptly in an very intricate mirror. only instead of reflective metal or glass a sheet of volcanic black glass adorned the center. the mirror itself was forged from brass and so very little light reflected off it. the mare stood before it. gesturing for William to keep going. He could see all of this with two blue cold fire torches.

Nightstar, who was realizing that this was what he had been hoping for. He had been looking forward to this, and now, now Moonbeam hopeful Nightstar steeled his nerves and slowly made the motion to move forward. As he walked into it the volcanic glass, it seemed to take him in. a feeling of cold shot through him as his vision went dark. for moments all he could feel was the cold, and see nothing but darkness. He shivered or at least tried to shiver, but found that his body couldn’t do that, all he could do was to keep moving forward. if it was cold, he should try and get to warmth at the end of tunnel he hoped for.

He saw a light ahead of him, as he approached it a soothing heat echoed from it, soft warm inviting, he could make out the sound of rapid hammering. He blinked in confusion but quickly began to walk, or rather trotting to get to the light that was shining at the end of the tunnel.

As he entered the light it faded into a large cylindrical chasm. it took him several minutes to realise it was a long extinct volcano. up where the mouth would be a giant piece of quartz sat suspended by long gold supports and the moon sat directly over it. the moonlight focused onto a large white piece of stone. in front of the stone with her back to him was Luna. magically controlling three large metal hammers. between her and William the entire Moonbeam Lunar Guard stood to attention in a asle. "Rookie" the Mare said as she entered from behind. "Welcome to the Lunar Forge.”

He looked around but remained silent, many military traditions were keen on silence, and well, if a forge of the sun was by fire, then the moon, being a colder place, then again with magic his mind raced, then this could be a forge but not of the kind he would know.

The Mare lead him forwards slowly. as she did he noticed tendrils of shadows and light colliding together on the stone as Luna hammered them in time with her hammers. he could see the shine of metal beneath the cloud created by their collision but he could no see under it.

"Light reveals all within its grasp," Luna started as they continued to approach.

"But the shadows conceal where light cannot touch," the aisle chorused.

"The sun gives fire onto the world," Luna continued.

"But the waves and tides bow only to the moon," the aisle continued.

"For every ray of light," She spoke with a ring of the hammer

"A shadow is cast," a singular guard spoke up this time

"For every shield born." Luna called out.

"A sword is forged," another guard answered

"When light cannot reach," Luna said

"We shall take to the shadows," once again a singular soldier.

They finally reached the end of the aisle. the mare bowed low to Luna as she turned around. well she was still Luna, William could see in the concentrated moonlight her slitted glowing dragonic eye's and her wings became scaly and batlike when the light touched them.

He blinked in shock but quickly regain his composure, Luna was good at illusions he recalled, from Lunar eclipses when she had used her Nightmare Moon form for fun. He had a small moment of lost military stance but quickly regained it and stood ready.

"Look upon us William," Luna said "this is the true nature of the dark, it is neither beautiful nor glorious" she spoke.

He just stood there. He did not wish to contradict the Princess, but he just stood and looked upon Luna.

"Moonbeam hopeful Nightstar, you have expressed your wish to join the Lunar Guard, and you have been found worthy. look upon us, look upon those that would be your brothers and sisters in arms, do you still wish to join us knowing what we are?"

He nodded his head. "We fight from the shadows, so those that live in the light may not know the true fears of the dark. We fight the darkness by making it our own, making it our strength." he replied, remembering a small phrase Luna had left in his room a few nights ago. He remembered talking to Luna about how some units in the US were called ghosts for they don't exist, but do to help defend the US when possible.

The darkness behind her abated revealing a dark finned helmet it levitated over in Luna's magic "then Nightstar we offer you a commission in our service, we offer you the eye's of the dragon so that you may see what the shadows would hide" she held the helmet to him.

He said down on his haunches and took the helmet to place it on his head, amazed at how it fit him like a glove.

His eye's burned momentarily. then suddenly his vision improved vastly, the darkness seemed to abate all around him every shadow, every crevice he could note it all. to the outside world his blue eyes shone with twin black slits.

"These eye's and their abilities will only last when you wear the helmet" she said "to allow you to move swiftly and silently" the last of the darkness dissipated revealing a black suit of armor with two wing holes on the back. "we offer you the wings of the bat" The armor moved closer to him and in a flash of light as it touched him. he found it on his body snugly once again a familiar burn on his wings and then it was gone. He waited for permission to see his new wings, but he felt that he coat had changed as well to make him look more uniformed in color as the other guards.

Luna then smiled as her horn light up. in front of the guards, but right there in front of Nightstar materialized a large mirror built to show his whole body too him.

He looked on in shock as he saw himself, at least the figure blinked when he did. Only it was very much like Luna's guards from Luna Eclipsed he realized. It was uniformed, and he realized like any other stallion and mare in her guard, an image that could strike fear into hearts of ponies and hopefully monsters alike. He began to slowly smile as he realized just what this meant. "This is, wow." his words barely a whisper that only one creature heard, and she was smiling with pride at seeing her craftswork fitting William nicely.

Hooves clapped on his back as the others in the guard broke formation when luna gave the go ahead. congratulations and such were given all around. "welcome to the family" some voice called, but he could not place where or who said it.

He nodded his head. "Thank you."


What happened next was something a little more familiar to William from watching friends taking it, only it was for another nation. He had to swallow a lump in his throat and quash a sense of betraying his own nation. He reminded himself as he spoke the words that if he failed her. Then the words of his own nations oath of officers would become lost and even his homeland subjugated by the Nightmares. He stood on a small stage with Luna holding out her right wing and so William copied with his right bat wing. Behind him were not just the flag of the Nation of Equestria but most likely the unit that he was swearing into as well.

“I Nightstar Do give an oath upon the moon and stars that I shall to the full extent of being even till death to protect the Royal Princess Luna and my fellow guards pony from all enemies outside and within. With this same fiber defend any foe that wishes harm upon her. We shall follow every order given. So help us Luna.” William voice rang through the cavern and to all listening they could feel the conviction that he believed every single word he was saying.

"You may speak nightstar" she said "we hold nothing between us"

He bowed his head. 'Thank you your highness." he replied. "It is an honor to have made it to this point in my life."

"We are honored to have you" luna said "would thou like to see thine new look?"

He nodded his head once in a sharp manner.

What followed next, was something Nightstar remembered from Earth, it was rather funny in how similar events were. What followed next was a small party, with punch, snacks, and a cake cutting ceremony. It also was a moment that Nightstar saw of Luna that was rare. It was something that would remain with him for the rest of his life, What he saw was Luna as a commander, but also, acting like a mentor and friend to those under her command and he did learn a few jokes and a few barbs that he could now speak to the Solar Guard in gist. While the two would work together and be strong united under a threat, he found the same sort of rivalry that one might find between the US Army and the US Marines. As he once put it, it was like two brothers ribbing each other, but get one mad, you got not just one but the other brother as well.


William blinked as he slowly returned to the Castle but blinked upon the small group he was with did not turn towards his hallway, nor did they really let him move that direction. Instead they began to move and climb up the tower, up towards a location that he had only been to once, Luna’s bottom study. He looked around but felt that saying anything would not be welcomed and slowly trotted with them towards this new development.

The entire trip was done in silence and somber feelings. That is till they entered what he was calling the visitor galleries. It was here that one of his guards spoke, a Lunar Guard that he had not met yet. “Nightstar. You have been picked to be part of the Lunar Personal Guard. While you are on duty you shall be quartered in the small barracks that are off to the left of this room. However before we begin, Luna wished to see something.”

Luna William had noticed during their talking had pulled the same mirror from someplace and placed it in front of all of them. “Now, please, remove your helmet. I did not say anything but here, I shall mention it, the magic of your form seemed to, warp when mixing with the full might of my enchanted armor. Please, I need to see if it did anything permanent.”

William only nodded his head and with a little nerves on end moved his leathery bat wings to take his helmet off and, nothing. He felt nothing when he removed the helmet there was no stinging tingling like when the helmet was placed upon his head and when he looked at the mirror he saw the same image of a Night Guard looking back at him. “Wha?” he asked in a bit of mixed awe, worry, and amazement.

His ears picked up some chittering behind him and he turned around to see that the others had removed their helmets and like him they were not changing back to what he thought would be normal ponies. “Uh… this is, I thought there were.”

Luna interrupted him with laughter. “That their were only three pony races? Nay my new recruit. I had loyalty of a race that my sister felt would be best left in the mists of time. You,” she seemed to glow with some pride at the next words. “Are in the form of a Threastrle.”  Luna only grinned wider at the dazed and confused look she got from WIlliam. “Here let us explain a little more before the dawn arrives and we all retire to bed. You may tell your ponyville friends what you have learned tonight about your fellow comrades while we travel, they to their homes, you and some of your comrades to take up station at my old personal abode.”

William slowly nodded his head and followed the example of the others as he settled in for Luna’s explanation.


Earth, North American Continent, United States of America, Washington DC, the White House.
October 24, 2012.

President Erickson looked out the oval office’s windows towards the lawn and the lights of Washington DC further out. Overhead he saw a storm blowing in. He looked back at the lawn as he saw a few flashes of lightning moved from cloud to cloud. He could hear the rumble of some of the thunder that was overhead. He shook his head. They still could not get the weather perfect they said tonight was going to be a clear night.

He turned his head slightly as, he smiled it was one of the Marine Guards this time who had opened the door for his daughter and son. That was one thing that made him smile. Their seemed to be a rivalry between many of the men who were assigned guarding duty of his family. It didn’t help that his daughter had seemingly wrapped not only him but the security teams around her little fingers. His daughter was wheeled in by another Marine who after placing her in a spot next to the couch stood and rendered a small nod of the head. The President returned the gesture with his own nod of the head and the two marines took a stance by the door while staying inside the oval office.

The President smiled a little as he turned around fully to sit at the desk to begin the normal nightly tradition on the weekday. Bedtime stories in the oval office. He smiled at his children as he sat down at the desk and pulled out a large picture book. The title was Green Eggs and Ham and he slowly began to read the first page when a sudden flash of light outside the window and the boom of thunder sounded making all but the Marines jump and look around with fear.

It was just seconds later that all eyes were drawn to something in the room that was floating just above the President's daughter’s head. A glowing expanding ball of light. Without a word the Marines moved to get the daughter out of harms way, they however were too slow for without any warning the light expanded with the sound of a firecracker on the fourth of July and from the light something landed into the lap of President Erickson’s daughter.

“Susan!” He yelled as his eyes caught on something strange about the thing that was in his daughter’s lap.

Susan blinked and looked briefly at her father before returning gazing at what was in her lap. Her brother just started and the Marines were behind her with their hands on their sidearms, yet they remained holstered, they could not risk harming Susan. They just hoped that . It was here that the Secret Service barged into the oval office making the creature stir and her brother to break the spell of silence in the room.

“I… that is a Unicorn… my…. did I just see a girls wish come true?” his voice while almost a whisper was loud after the silence of all staring at the Unicorn. The Unicorn looked to be sleeping as the sides were rising and falling, and oblivious to just what was going on around it.

the moment of silence was broken as the Secret Service rushed to Susan's side and pulled the creature off Susan's lap and as soon as it was on the ground, the group had weapons out. This caused Susan to cry out and begged them to stop.

The Unicorn snapped opened its eyes from the commotion and saw the creatures around it pointing things at him and with fear and crying himself he covered his head with his forelegs and hooves and began to shake and mutter out, calling out for his mother and daddy.

To all in the rooms surprise, Susan spoke again but the words were not English, nor was it Russian, Nor Spanish, not even Koren was coming from Susan’s lips. It was, it was the same sounds coming from the, the Unicorn. It was here that as the events were calming down that the Secret Service realized that the creature they had just thrown to the floor of the oval office was a creature of mythology. And the President’s daughter, was talking like the creature.

After a tense minute of, well first contact Susan looked at her father. “Can he stay with us? he is scared and he misses his family.” She paused. “Also he doesn’t want to be found by evil men of this world who would… kill him.”

“Susan?” Her father spoke slowly. “WHat… is this about evil men?” he shook his head, the youth of children and simple concepts. “Are you saying something… brought him here?”

“Oh!” His daughter gasped and then shook her head. “No, evil creatures that took over one of his princesses long ago sent him her so they could bring a man of black heart to their world… and conquer both worlds.” She looked at the Unicorn as if asking if it was correct. The Unicorn made a movement that any equine on Earth should not have made in the first place. it shrugged.

Her father just looked at Susan and her begging puppy dog eyes, and then at his Secret Service. “Well,” he sighed and steeled his face. “Gentlemen, I am trusting you all in this room to protect my daughter, who seems to speak to this creature, and this Unicorn with the full protection that is afforded not just my daughter but a foreign diplomat.” he slapped the desk to silence a protest. “We don’t know what just happened, but I want my daughter to know that we will protect her new friend.”

Susan squealed with delight and jabbered away in the new language again and the unicorn seemed to actually relaxed.

“MY daughter,” President Erickson spoke slowly, “Susan, what did you say to your friend?”

“Oh, just that he is a friend of me, and my daddy, and that he will have the protection of the entire United States of America while he is here… does this mean he… what do ponies eat?” She wondered before returning to talking to the Unicorn colt again. “oh, he is a he.” She spoke to her father again before returning again to her conversation with the Unicorn.

Susan’s brother just sat there. “Dad,” he began with a sound of a statement question in his voice.

“Yes Robert?” His father returned while looking at the two Marines. “As for you two… I want you assigned to Unicorn Duty right now… use the code name Unicorn, no one would believe it was a real creature.” He had used the time his son had formulated to speak to give another order.

“Dad, what…. can I help in protecting Susan and her friend?” he looked at his sister and the Unicorn who was standing up and looking around at the room while Susan it seemed talked about the most powerful room in the world.

“Very well Robert, I, I think that can be arranged, I think we need to protect all in this room a little more diligently” he looked down at the desk. “First contact in the Oval Office with another sapient race and we may very well have been given a warning.” he looked up. “I want the FBI to look into any unusual situations that have happened tonight or earlier… anything at all… I just, I want to see if we can make a guess on who was taken from the Earth to this Equestria… start with the United States first.”

“Mr. President, why start here?” One of the Secret Service men started. “The world is so big that the most logical locations would be either China or India with their population sizes.”.

President Erickson only smiled back. “You don’t know writing or storytelling very well, usually when something like this happens, the exchange happens in the same kingdoms or cities… so start here in DC and move out around in circles.”










Location: Classified

        “Sir!” A man in white coat shouted in surprise and confusion. “The stone, THE STONE!!!!” He yelled as he stepped away from a stone tablet with a very intricate circle and waves of lines and ancient knot designs as it glowed white for a few seconds before dying down. “SOME…” he caught himself as he realized he was yelling. “Something just, it activated, something just, something happened.”

        Behind him a regal female with a short conservative hairdo stepped from a hidden elevator. “Is that so?” The voice was well cultured and refined, Also it was a high queens english in accent.

        The Scientist only gasped and turned around before bowing low. “Your, your majesty, I, I am unsure of what it means… but it must mean something important.”

        “Then I shall let you get with your work, I do wonder, if anything else might have changed in the ancient archives, come Mark, shall we look?”

        Behind her a wizard old man with a long gandalf like beard followed and the scientist was sure he saw a twinkle in the eyes of the old man. “Of course your Majesty, I wouldn’t doubt things might have changed or… dare I say activated if what we saw was correct.”

        The scientist heard an odd sentence from the Queen as she went further into the archives. “Imagine, Magic, the real magic returning to earth.” he shook his head and turned to continue working on his station and tapping on a computer next to the stone tablet, hopefully he could figure out what had triggered this event.
