"Please, Flash, tell it to her." said my Dad "I'll comfort your Mom. "Princess Celestia," I began. "Do you know a demon by the name of 'the Scoundrel'?" Princess Celestia made a startled look on her face. "Why, yes!" she said "How did you hear about this demon and that name he has." "Because," I said as I began to cry. "He took my sister, Julia away from us last night around the northern part of West Curvia Island." "He said he was going to take her back to his home on Demon Island and turn her into one of his slaves as some kind of warning to you." explained my Dad "But we don't know what." Princess Celestia made a devastated, sad face. "I would like to help you Sentry family" said Princess Celestia. "But in all my years as being a princess, I don't know much about this demon who likes to call himself as 'the Scoundrel.' However, I have read books about demons and this island of theirs called Demon Island. It's been said that Demon Island is up in the Northern part of Equestria but I don't think I can send any of my soldiers and warriors up there." "Why not?!" I asked in frustration. "It has been said that Demon Island is a hard place to find." explained Princess Celestia "Since when Demon Island was first formed and became inhabited by demons, fog got all around it and has stayed like that for so many years. That was also the same time when 'the Scoundrel' came into power and has been their leader ever since then." "So you're saying that if some of your soldiers and warriors go over to that island," I asked "through all that fog, they might never be heard of ever again?" "I'm afraid so." said Princess Celestia sadly. "But what I don't understand is the dark magic that 'the Scoundrel' keeps on possessing inside of him. Once in a while, he's able to break free out of that fog prison somehow and launch a attack on a land of Equestria. It's very strange and devastating." "Whatever he is," I said. "We're going to find out, someday! We thank you for your time, Princess Celestia." My parents and I left as my Mom continued sobbing and Princess Celestia looked on at us.
