Shadows in the dark

"Forest Shade!" Forest was called by Mayor Mare in her very official voice. " Yes, ma'am?"
"Your parents showed up at my office, and wish to have you meet them." Oh how many days had she waited for this!
She did a celebratory loop-de-loop and sat back down. "I'm coming." She waved goodbye to her friends, and trotted next to the mayor.
At her office, two alicorns stood near the doorway, and very solemn expressions they wore. Not unkind, she noted, just solemn.
" Forestia Regalia Shade, where have you been all these years? Oh, you are nearly a mare!" Forestia stared up at her mother, a pitch black mare with spiky armor. Nightmare Moon. she realized, and out of fear wanted to cry. Her father nudged her, and she smiled. It was her generous visitor from yesterday. "Hi." was all the trio said to each other.

It was very awkward, being in the chariot pulled by neon green dragons, but that was still neat and cool to her, as she had never seen a dragon. As they arrived at the Shadow Empire, Forest Shade realized it was King Sombra, and she shuddered. Villainous parents? What the hay? she had always thought they would be like everypony else, but oh well. Forestia flung herself onto the deep green bed and cried, unaware of the bright green shadows now coming from her ocean blue eyes.
