//------------------------------// // Night Returns // Story: Dash's Decision // by Drac KeaganVA //------------------------------// In Canterlot Castle...Princess Celestia paced the halls worried sick about her sister. There was a disturbance in the magical forces and cosmic alignment and her sister was missing. All signs pointed to one thing and she did not want it to be true. Not again. She could not bring herself to have to banish her sister again. “Oh Luna, what have you done?” She spoke aloud in a worried tone looking out the window watching as she was about to lower the sun yet again. She awaited news from her guard on the search party she had sent out. But there was no new news on her sister. However, after she had lowered the sun a letter arrived from Spike, about Twilight and Rainbow Dash, and also about Thunderlane and Lightning Dust acting strange. “This is very interesting. Dear Spike, please have Twilight and her friends come see me as soon as they arrive home. It is of grave importance I speak to them face to face.” She looked up from her writing at the moon she had just rose. “I hope I am not too late.” An evil cackle can be heard in the distance as Nightmare Moon was watching her sister in a spell. “I am afraid, you are sister. Luna is gone! Nightmare Moon will rule Canterlot, the Night and soon, all of Equestria!” the dark princess yells while her clouds swirl around her and she laughs and her eyes glow evil white in the night. Bats circle her and she spreads her wings wide, wind whipping her feathers about wildly. She had evil plans in store for the ponies her sister called her champions and for her. As long as Diaval could pull of his part… More to come...
