The night was calm and peaceful, not a sound of a cricket, not the hooting of an owl, just silence. Twilight was sitting on her bed tossing on turning, worried.
"Cant sleep." she said.
Twilight got up, she slumped on her bed, the black lines under her eyes. With the thud of her hoofs she stood up and walked to the main room downstairs. Twilight looked to see Spike still asleep. He had the widest smile on his face. No doubt having another dream about Rarity. She then looked over her four book cases full of books to read. She sighed, Twilight covered her eyes with a hoof and randomly placed it a book. She lifted a book off the shelf. The dust and residue on the book symbolized that it had never been touched. Twilight blew on the book blowing dust everywhere in a cloud.
"Myths and Legends of Equestria?" Twilight gave the book a puzzled look, but through her curiosity, she found a disgusting surprise.
Twilight opened the book to see a spider the size her eye on one of the pages. Its eight green eyes met purple as it let out a hiss. She gasped and dropped the book, killing the spider inside. She flicked the spider off and started to read. To which she saw the title.
"Legend of the Ghost Pony Rider." Twilight rubbed her chin.
Twilight was interested just by the title and begone reading. The book's story told of a mystic being who was feared by many ponys and was even feared by powerful villians! Twilight's wings brushed over her as she read on. Unnoticed to her someone, or something was watching.
A Twilight was reading when she heard a loud yawn, Spike cam down stairs in a haze of drowzieness
"Ugh Twilight! It's almost three in the moring, what are you doing up?" Spike rubbed his eyes and gave Twilight a annoyed look.
"Couldn't sleep, so I decided to read a bit to help." commented Twilight rubbing the back of her head.
"Oh...alright just dont be up to long."
"Yes father...night Spike." Twilight said giving a snicker.
Spike went back up to bed, dragging his tail behind him. Twilight continued reading the story. when she saw a black image on the other side of the page. Twilight paused...she turned the page to see a grotess picture of a pony with nothing but a skull for a head with it also on fire. It was dresses in what looked like centuries dated cloak. The demonic being was using a whip like weapon and slicing a demon in half. She turned the page and gasped. Her eyes saw the being eating a ponys soul.
"Wow...he is scary, must have been feared in his times."
Twilight closed the book, she had been reading for nearly a half-hour now. She became sleepy and passed out from reading the book. Then the door creaked open, a dark, slim figure crawled through the door. The eyes were glowing a maroon red. Its claws making no sound as it crawled on all fours. The beat then noticed the pony sleeping on the floor next to it. It laughed in its throat as it approched Twilight. The being was shined in the moonlight through the window. The beast was a Alpha Timberwolf, looking for its next meal.
Miles away, a being waering a cape like cloth was standing on top of a cliff looking over the town.
"Hopefully this place will accept me for who I am." A mysterious figure was standing on top of a cliff, looking over Ponyville.
The being heard a scream and lauched from the cliff and ran as fast as lighting toward the screaming. A trail of fire glowed behind him with every clop of his hooves. Applejack was taking a evening walk when she saw the blazing figure.
"Oh gosh, that fellers on fire!" Applejack said with a wide eyed look.
She ran to her home and got a pale of water. She saw the figure coming and threw the water in the air. What should have been a loud splash, instead was a cloud of steam. Applejack watched as the figure continued running without even knowing. She said with a loud sign.
"Thats it, no more night strolls!"
