I was standing in front of an army of mind control slaves, looking at the kingdom of Canterlot. The princesses sent about a hundred or more guards to stop me my army. I said, using the Canterlot voice, “Surrender and you will not be harmed. My army will kill to keep me from harm.” almost half of them laid down their weapon and walked out of the way, but the rest charged at us. I looked left and right to see my generals, Vinyl, Octavia, and Derpy, then gave them the command. 

After what seemed like an hour, none were left standing, either dead or wounded. I only lost a fraction of my army. We walked passed the guard and into the castle. There sitting on her throne, sat Celestia, glaring at me. She called for her guards, only about ten came. I made quick work of them, I walked up to Celestia, grabbed her head and made her look into my eyes.

As I sat down on the throne, made entirely of obsidian with blood red cushion, Celestia was at my feet, Princess Twilight was sitting next to me, as my student, my guards were lined up on both sides of the throne room. I looked at the banners that hung around, then at my wings. Then Luna came bursting into my throne room, and walked up to me, everything was disappear behind her, then she stopped at said, after everything was gone, “You think you’re powerful enough to take the throne away, and rule the kingdom.” 

I got of the throne, and said, “Equestria has been ruled by one person to long. You should join me, don’t you want the spotlight for a change, and not your sister.” I made Celestia appear and walk around the darkness, like a pet. “Or do you want to be a prisoner.” then Luna was chained to a cold, damp wall. “Or maybe want to be a pet.” Then she had a dog collar around her neck, with a leash to it.

She screamed, “ENOUGH.” Then made everything disappear. “Who are you to think Equestria needs a new ruler. More than 1000 years, my sister has kept this land together, removing her from power would create chaos, and mass destruc.” Her eyes widened, then she looked at me and said, “You’re working for him.”

I smiled, at how scared she looked, then said, “Yes, I am.”

She ran up and went to grab me, but I woke.

I opened my eye to see Vinyl and Octavia sleep on either side of me, and Derpy sleeping at my feet. I muffled the house, so no outside could hear me, then I made little air horn and squeezed it. The sound woke all three up, Vinyl disappeared, Octavia rolled off the bed, and Derpy was in the air in a few seconds. I thought to myself, as I let the magic go, they must not have air horns here.

Vinyl walked into the and said, “What can we do you, master?”

I said, as I got out of bed, “We have to hurry, Vinyl, clean up the study, Octavia, make some tea, and Derpy, clean this room up. I need to talk to someone, and please hurry, Luna is coming over.”

I ran to the living room, and yelled, “DISCORD, I have a question for you, and I want to do an experiment. “ 

Discord popped up in front of me, and said, “Well, you did a number on them, or maybe he took your power away.”

I looked at him and said, “Quit your chit chat, the question is, do you have any digesting powder that will make anypony trust and believe me easier, and he didn’t take my power away, I just let them have their personalities. Can you hurry I have somepony coming over.

Discord toss me a bag and said, “Here, If you need something, go ask the zebra for it, and who is coming to see you.”

I said, as I walked into the bathroom, “Luna is coming to visit.”

Discord popped in front of me,grabbed my shoulders, and said, “What did you do to annoy Luna, does she know I’m helping you?”

I shrugged of his hands, and said, “Don’t worry, she doesn’t know about you and she saw my dream. Now, get out so I can take a bath.” He disappeared, then I took a bath. 

After my bath, I checked on Vinyl, she was napping in the clean study. I walked up to her, and shook her shoulder. She said, half awake, “Do you need me to do something master?”

I said, as I walked out, “Go get some rest, in the bedroom. I checked on Derpy, she was asleep on the floor. I walked the kitchen and asked Octavia, “How is the tea coming?”

Octavia turned around and said, with a yawn, “The tea is ready, master, what do you want  to do know?”

Then a knock came at the door, I said, right before I opened the door, “Go sleep in the bedroom, and keep the others quiet.” Octavia ran to the room and shut the door. I turn to the door and opened it. There in the doorway, was a pissed off, but scared, Luna.

She came in and held me against the wall and said, “What did he give you?”

I teleported out of her grasp and said, “Hello Luna, care to join me over a cup of tea, while we talk. I’m sorry, that I abandoned you in my dream. Why don’t you sit down and I’ll make you some tea.”

Luna hesitated, probably thinking what can possibly happen over a cup of tea, then said, “Fine, a cup of tea then you must answer my questions.” 

I said, as I levitated two mugs, “Okay, you can you head to the study, I’ll bring the cups of tea.” Luna nodded and headed to the study. I sighed and grabbed the bag and poured a little bit into the cup then added a drop of the potion, he got from him, then made a mug for himself. Then he carried them to the study. 

I saw Luna standing there, with her eyes closed. I walked over to her and tapped her on the shoulder, She jumped and said, “Why don’t they have dreams, I can see them, but they are in a dark room. and why is Derpy and Octavia here, and not at their home?”

I gave levitated her mug towards her, and said, “I will answer all your questions, after tea. Now, lets head to the study.” I lead her to the study. I pulled out a chair for her and me, then sat down.

She cautiously took a sip, then her eyes, shrunk a little, then she took a few gulps, then set it down, and said, “What has he given you?

I said, after a sip of my tea, “he gave me a drink, a spell, a cutie mark, and a form.” Then I gulped it all down.

Luna said, after gulping the rest down, “Why are Octavia and Derpy here, and why don’t they have dreams?

I said, as I looked it her cup to make sure it was empty, “They are helping me settle in, since I don’t have a home here. Some ponies just don’t have dream. Just out of curiosity, did you tell anypony that you were coming here.”

Luna said, “No, I just came here. What spell did he give you?”

I said, as I gathered up the mugs, “just a spell to help with sleeping, I can help you. You look a little tired.” Then I looked at the clock. “No wonder, it’s only midnight. I can perform it on you and in the morning you feel a lot better, what do you say?”

Luna got up and said, “No, I should get home.”

I held her in place and set her back in the chair, then I said, “See, you’re so tired, that I can move you. Just this spell and I won’t bug you anymore, and I won’t do anything mean, I promise.” 

Luna sighed and said, “Fine, just this one spell,  and no other.”

I scooted in my chair, and said, “K, all you have to do is look into my eyes.” 

She looked into my eyes, and I could she her body slowly relax and her eyes becoming glazed and unfocused. After a few minutes, she collapsed onto the floor. I said, “Luna, sit in the chair and look at me.” She got up and sat down in the chair, then opened her eyes, they were glazed and unfocused. I released the breath I was holding, and said, “You will obey all my commands, without hesitation. When I say awake, you will go back to normal, but you will obey me and call me Master. You don’t remember why we met for tea. When I say Sleep, you will return to this mindless state. Once you go outside this base, you will return to normal, but still obey me. You will come to me any time, when you can.  Do you understand?”

She said, in a monotone, “Yes Master.” 

I held my breath and said, “Awake.”

She shook her head, then said, “What do me to do, master?”

I said, “Head to the castle and make sure no one knows about this meeting.”

She nodded, then walked out the door and flew to Canterlot.

I headed back to the bedroom, all three were cuddling as they slept. I quietly got into bed and went to sleep. 

I was woken by something blasting around the house, I got up and followed the racket to Vinyl and her dj equipment. I walked up to Vinyl, turned down the volume, then asked where Octavia and Derpy were, She said, “Octavia is practicing her cello, derpy is done her mail run, and something is off I mostly get angry pounding on the door in the morning, but I haven’t got one yet.”

I shrugged, then said, “I’m heading to Zecora’s. Be back in a bit
