//------------------------------// // War of Shadows - Chapter 136 // Story: Diary of the Night // by CalebH //------------------------------// If it is to be a war it is to be a war of shadows. Chrysalis thinks she may hide in the shadows and darkened alleys of Equestria but darkness is my domain. She will not see me until I kill her; she will not know me until I slit her throat. She thinks she may steal my ponies away and hide in the night but the fangs of the night already close around her neck. Celestia asks how we should tell Equestria that it is at war. We will not. Chrysalis thinks herself safe behind the guise of her defeat. As much as Prince Armor told her while under her spell he never knew the true extent of the forces surrounding Equestria, and so Chrysalis does not know that her forces are already surrounded and cut off. He is eager to fight, Equestria’s new prince. I understand that he desires vengeance but his talents are better served elsewhere. The Night Ponies, both those afield and those who could not fight, will be in need of provisions. Prince Armor shall see to it that they get them and that neither Chrysalis nor Equestria knows. -L
