//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Parentage // Story: The Lunar Shield Chronicles: Book 1: Beggings // by CommanderOfTheNewLunarRe //------------------------------// Deep in the everfree forest on a full moon night sat two ponies. One a normal size unicorn with a glowing red horn beside him sat a tall alicorn with wildly flowing midnight blue mane and tail. She looked at the elaborately dressed unicorn and said “Sombra I must tell you something.” “What is it my beautiful Nightmare?” he asked kissing her cheek and smiling. “I… I’m pregnant.” Nightmare replied. “R.. Really?” Sombra asked “Yes. With twins!” Nightmare seemed so happy. “That’s great.” Sombra replied. Nightmare frowned and said “You don’t seem to happy.” “It’s just i don’t think I’m ready to be a father.” Sombra replied “And what if your sister found out?” Nightmare kissed Sombra on the cheek and said “First off, you’ll make a wonderful father. Seconde off, Tia won’t find out. They’ll be our little secret.” Sombra smiled and said “Okay Nighty.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (8 months and 5 hours Later) Nightmare Moon was laying in the hospital bed with Sombra beside her holding two newborn colts. One was black like his father with a midnight-blue mane and tail, the other was white with a golden mane and tail. Both had little horns and wings. “What should we call them?” Sombra asked softly. “We’ll call this one Black Hole.” Nightmare said pointing to the black one. “And this one will be Golden Destruction.” She said pointing at the white colt. “Those are lovely names.” Sombra replied smiling. "They will be our little Kings." Nightmare said (They don't know the half of it)
