I looked down at the world below me. Equestria.
Equestria wasn't fully facing me, but it will be very soon. I had long forgotten names of places, the only one I could remember was Canterlot, the capitol city.
My shadow form sliced unseen in the blackness of space, it's onyx colour too dark for one to see as I continued outwards, away from the moon. My figure picked up pace as I sped across space. One kilometre. Two kilometres. Three kilometres. Stop.
I slowed down to a halt, this was usually where the barrier was. I didn't bother going forwards, to check to see if it was gone, I felt it's magic aura.
Equestria was now facing me, it's full arrogance shining brightly like it's ruler. I looked at the kingdom one last time before turning my shadows back towards the moon. But that's when I felt it.
I stopped suddenly. Something, had changed. What, had changed?
I turned back around and forced my shadows to move towards the barrier. I stopped at where it's usual location was. I couldn't feel it, but then again, my mind has been playing cruel tricks on me more than once in the past few centuries.
Wait a second.
It, was still there. Yes, it was still there, the magical power. But, it was... Weakened?
It was worth the risk, so I fired a shadow towards it.
The shadow splashed off of the barrier like water, and returned back to me, to join the swarm of shadows.
Despite the results, I felt the power levels of the shield slightly, lower? This was odd. The first time I tried this my shadows hadn't effected it's power.
I flung two more larger shadows towards the barrier. Once the shadows made contact they splashed off of the shield and returned to me. But unlike last time, the shields power lowered even further down.
I didn't hesitate. I fired ten more shadows towards the shield and when it made contact, whoo it felt good! When the shadows tried to return to me I forced them back towards the shield, and I did this to all of them over and over again.
The barriers energy was breaking apart, but I didn't understand why. What was it that was weakening the shield enough for me to send shadows—
Then it happened. The shield collapsed.
I didn't wait anymore than I had to. I shot through the emptiness of space, waves of shadows following behind me like a midnight cape.
Equestria was growing closer and closer towards me. Celestia had done this to me, she had banished me to the moon, but my loathe and hatred for her has grown into a magic even she couldn't ignore.
I'd terrorise her people first, and then kill her as she watches her kingdom burn down to my hooves. But first, I'll have to capture her, to make sure she doesn't get in the way of my plans.
Before I even realised it I was plummeting down, breaking through the sound barrier and entering the atmosphere of the world. My original form wasn't capable of surviving without oxygen, so I used my shadow form to survive, but now I have access to air, and I'm capable of turning into my true form.
I landed in a green field of grass. I didn't bother to look around at my surroundings, I couldn't sense anypony. My shadowy figure slowly formed into the shape of a pony, a large pony equipped with a pair of wings and a large horn atop it's head.
Slowly I began to feel the grass. This meant that I was not a shadow, but a organic being. Smaller shadows surrounded certain parts of my body and touched against them. Their blackness turned into a cerulean colour, and they became my armour.
Two of the larger shadows slowly turned into the night sky, a navy blue with white sparkly dots. One of these shadows attached itself to my head, making my flowing mane while the other one attached itself to my rear end, making my tail.
The last few entrails of shadow slithered through the air and towards both of my flanks. They made contact and slowly formed a picture on my pitch black fur. A cutie mark.
My cutie mark used to be a crescent moon in a black splotch of blackness. But ever since I chose my new form it was now a neon white crescent moon against a purple-ish splotch of night.
Then, my eyes. They opened up, revealing a dark blue pupil with a black slit in the centre of it. The first time I saw those eyes in the mirror I almost screamed. I was utterly terrified. I thought that it was some sort of demon or entity, but now, now I've gotten used to those predator eyes.
Maybe I am a monster.
