//------------------------------// // The Night Mare And The Nightmare // Story: A Good Share of Lives // by Sea Pony //------------------------------// Luna looked over the landscape of Equestria with a frown. She could feel something was wrong in the air. Her and her sister always had a gift to sense these sort of things. "I didn't felt much of a disturbance since five years ago in the Discord's game and even then it wasn't as strong as this one." 'It feel like something will change in Equestria maybe in all the world' Luna eyes got wide in horror when she heard the voice in her head. "Nightmare Moon?!" Then a scowl crossed her expression. "Do not think you will be able to manipulate me this time. I know all your tricks, I created you afterall." 'Oh but why would I do that? I learned my lesson last time, I must not be against you but with you. We should rule together over the night like we were meant to... Mother.' "I am not your mother foul beast!" 'You create me with your own magic and I was made with a very part of your soul. Like it or not I am your daughter and a part of this royal family. Difficult times are ahead of us think of all the things we could do to the world if we worked together once again. But this time for the good of Equestria and our subjects.' "Do you really think I want to ally myself with somepony that almost brought the end of Equis as a whole?" 'If you don't want me inside of your head, at least give me a empty body. Do you know how anoying it is to be a roaming spirit without any control on the physic world?' "I will think about it, we frogave Discord afterall. But don't think we will let you help us because firstly I still don't trust you and second Equestria doesn't need of your help all of the Reapers activities has been outside of Equestria I have no reason to believe they want something from us." Nightmare huff at that response. 'Yeah? well you might change your view on that once the anoying blood sucker come invade our country.' "What?! Why didn't you tell me he was free?!" Luna asked in alarm. 'Because I through it was obvious, we were prisoner in the same paint. Of course he is also free and he's also been recruited by a Soul Reapers. don't know why they waste their time with him when they could have me but whatever not like I wanted to help these maniacs.' "Oh what will we do?! Celestia is on a business in Saddle Arabia with Twilight and without them I don't know what we can do!" 'I see several options, one we could send the royal guards.' "Oh good idea, because they have been so useful these last seventeen years." Luna said sarcastically. "The only ones useful in that bunch of foal was Brew Blade who retire and Shining Armor who is now prince of the Crystal Empire and it would be too long before he arrive here." 'Two: We could raise the sun when he arrive and kill all his army of ghouls the rest would be all formalities.' "I will use this option as a last resort only, because if I do something as foolish as controling the sun to win a battle I will easily lose my royal title when the council learn of it." 'Three: You move your big plot and fight him yourself, possibly with me as an ally if you finally decide to accept my proposition.' "I don't have a big plot thank you very much. And as much as I hate to admit you're right I have to do it myself it's seem. But I will not accept your help." 'I will stay around in case you change your mind' Then a midnight blue mist flew out of the princess of the night and pass through the window. Just then a knock on Luna's door caught her attention. She opened the door with her magic and saw her favorite maid. "Princess Luna I heard you muttering to yourself are you all right?" "Ah! Yuri you're just in the right time. I need to call my guards for duty. In the meantime I want you to send everypony who were members of either the Purus Sanguis or the Peacemaker a letter with my teleporting crystals." Luna said while pointing to multiple midnight blue crystals who were glowing with magic. "But princess, the crystals are still just prototypes, what if they don't go to the right ponies?" "We have to take the risk my dear friend. I'm afraid this situation is no laughing matter." "Okay I will do as you say princess. But be careful okay? I know you're immortal but you still can be hurt or imprisoned." "Don't worry this is not my first battle and it will surely be not my last" And with that Luna left her bedroom while the gamer turned maid began to write the letters. - - - - - I glared angrily at the vampire. "Of all the days he had to come he had to come right now? Oh I'm not in the mood to play your games, bucking souless piece of rotten flesh!" I created a bow of ice with my magic and produce an arrow that I shot directly in direction of Titiritero. Unfortunately the undead stallion dodge the arrow just in time. Then he look at me with an annoyed expression. "Hey! I was doing my speech! Grim Reaper warned me that there would be elementalistes here, but she didn't mention how rude they could be!" "Die monster. You don't belong in this world!" "Oh, how cute look like I have myself a fangirl!" I growled at the taunt and took off in his direction. I sent a serie of kicks, but he was more agile than I through and easily dodge between the hits I only was able to touch his cape once or twice. "Did you really think a simple mortal like you could match up with a vampire? Your pathetic elemental magic will serve nothing in the hooves of a filly." Titiritero threw a spiritual orb at me. I wasn't quick enough to avoid it. It knocked me out of the sky and I fell on the roof of the house we were figting on. Then I felt a small movement under me it was small at first but then it grew and finally the roof gave up under me. when the dust clear up I saw the vampire looking at me through the hole. "Not that you're annoying or anything but I have a draconequus to find! Oh and say hello to my little friends." Litte friends, what did he meant by that? That when I heard something making a low growl followed by red eyes surrounding me everywhere. With a hesitant gulp I created a spiritual orb to lit up the room I was in and my eyes widden in horror to what was awaiting me. Ghouls, dozen of thems and all looking hungrily at me. Buck.
