Episode 6: Burning Feelings

Author's Note:

For those who don't know... WHY DID I INSERT A SONG IN A FANFIC.

It's Very simple...

1: In MLP they sometimes broke out into songs, so in all fairness I CAN and WILL do the same.

2: We HAVE the option of inserting vids and images into our fics, which give them a touch of AUDIO and VISUAL, which really help it. (These are the new times)

3: Site rules say that we can only post lyrics of MLP songs, but not other songs. So I rewrite the lyrics and reshape them in ways to match the audios of the video I put in, or if I can't alter them enough, I just slap the vid in, so you know what song is being sung.

It works out good, it's all just fine,
you got a problem with it? it's yours not mine

EPISODE SIX

Artie was up late one night finishing his latest painting; a beautiful image of the setting sun, with the shadows of the plants and the glistening of the ocean, it was almost shimmering.

He couldn’t help but smile at it, rather lovingly, and then, right before his eyes in the middle of the panting, SHE appeared-- Sunset Shimmer. Her mane was billowing in the breeze, and her eyes shimmered in the light.

Artie snapped out of it, and shook his head vigorously.

The painting was just the same-- no Sunset Shimmer.

Artie sighed, and couldn’t deny himself anymore, he was that crazy about her and wished there was some way he could be with her, maybe even help guide to becoming a proper denizen of United Equestria.

“Who am I kidding?” he said to himself “She wouldn’t be up for that… Would she?”

He then noticed how late it was, and he had an unveiling at his gallery in the morning. So he decided to hit the sack.



Meanwhile, in the servants’ quarters at New Canterlot Palace, Sunset Shimmer was sleeping blissfully, and she began to have a musical dream. “Take me on”

There she was, walking down an art gallery that was seemingly endless, and there was one particular painting she stopped to look at, a simple black and white brush stroke of Artie, which she thought looked amazing.

Then, the portrait winked at her and sang to her, much to her surprise, and then pulled her into the painting, making her seem just like the world around her-- brush-strokes and pencil sketches.

The way Artie was singing to her, she felt warm and flattered, and couldn’t help but be drawn to him, dance with him…!

Suddenly, there was trouble…!

As the song continued to play, things began to heat up as the evil Daybreaker appeared, also in painted forum, and began to set fire to the world around them while laughing wickedly.

Artie fought against the evil creature as best he could, but was ultimately forced to push Sunset out of the painting as the song continued to its end.

The music faded out.

“Weird…” said Sunset, but then she turned round.

“BOO!!” snarled Daybreaker, making her scream…


…And she bolted upright in bed, but she wasn’t the only one. A lot of the servants had also awakened, having had different nightmares involving Daybreaker too.

They weren’t the only ones.


Castor and Leilani woke up, crying in fright from the nightmares they just had, causing their parents and Aunt Luna to come rushing to their side.

“Children, what it is?” asked Grand Ruler.

“I had a bad dream!” sobbed Castor.

“Me too!” cried his sister “A big monster was chasing me, and trying to hurt me!”

“Me too!” cried Castor.

Celestia didn’t need to ask! She knew this had to be the work of Daybreaker, and her fears and sadness began to make her heat up, and he head ache!

“Oh, no!” she cried.

“Celestia…!” shouted her husband.

“Sister, no!” cried Luna “Fight it! Push it back!”

Celestia’s mane began to transform into Daybreker’s sunny flames, and her eyes began to morph as well.

“Let me out!” she snarled in Daybreaker’s voice “You can’t hold me in forever!”

The children were gawking in horrors at their mother’s transformation.

“Don’t look!” snapped Luna, and she enveloped the children in her dark mane so they couldn’t see.

Grand Ruler leapt over to his wife and held her shoulders, which felt very hot to the touch. “Celestia, fight it! You can do it!”

The burning faded and his wife collapsed into his arms panting softly.

Luna still did not let the children see, not wanting to frighten them more.

Grand Ruler scooped his wife up into his arms, and gave Luna an expression asking her to comfort the children.

She nodded at him, and he took his wife though the secret door in the children’s room which lead back to their own master bedroom.


Luna let the children out of her mane, and they looked very upset and trembled with fear. So she held them close to her. “I am here, children. Don’t be afraid.”

“Aunt Luna,” whimpered Castor “Is mother-- is she… a monster?”

“Oh, heavens, No… No… your mother is not a monster.”

“Then why does she get all scary?” asked Leilani.

Luna didn’t know how to explain this to the very young ones, and didn’t wish to scare them more.

“Children, I need you to be very brave, for me, for your father, and especially your mother.”

The best she could put it as, “Your mother is sick, very sick. We’re doing all we can to help her, but know this; she loves you very much, and she doesn’t want to you, myself, your father or anyone.”

The kids honestly didn’t know how to feel at this point.



Grand Ruler lay Celestia down on their bed, “Are you alright, dear?”

Celestia shut her eyes tight and two tears crept out, “No… No I’m not. I can’t go on like this anymore. I want this evil creature removed from me once and for all.”

Her husband was inclined to agree.

While his wife slept softly, he stayed up for the remainder of the night consulting research on the computer for a way to split the evil from the good, without endangering Celestia and the kingdom.

So far, all points lead to the same thing; and it was plenty risky for both Celestia and the kingdom; a risk he did not intend to take.

“There has to be another way.” he thought, and he looked over at his sleeping wife, and he continued his research until it was about time, close to dawn, when he and Celestia were to awaken and raise the sun together.

Celestia awoke still feeling weary due to the disturbance in the night. She needed one of her pep-pills to restore her energy.

“Oh, my!” she groaned.

Then she looked across the room and saw her husband, still at the computer, and looking exhausted.

“Celesto? Have you been researching all night?”

He nodded wearily at her, and she, with her energy now pepped up, gave him a pill too.

“Thank you.” he yawned.

The pill worked in moments and he felt fully energized, and Celestia didn’t have to ask what he was researching, and he told her, “I must have gone through every known file-- a-thousand years of research-- and in the end there is only one possibility, and it’s far too risky.”

Celestia looked at the screen which showed the answer. “The Elements of Harmony…?”

She gasped and remembered how they were used against Nightmare Moon, and while it did rid her sister of the evil within her, the evil was only separated from her, not vanquished, and it returned as Super Nightmare Moon, spiking The Great War which lead to the destruction of Equestria of Old.

“What if the same thing happens again?” she wondered “We can’t let Daybreaker loose on the planet, she’ll try and bring forth and eternal day! That would destroy us all!”

“It’s worse than you think…” said her husband “Because you control the Element of Magic, trying to energize it on yourself combined with the other forces, it could be serious for you physically!”

He typed in a simulator which revealed, on paper, what could happen.

Other than Daybreaker getting loose, the possible consequences included…

Weakening of her powers and strength…

Fatal paralysis into a coma…

…Or even instant death!

Celestia held her hand to her neck in shock. “You’re sure there is no other way?”

Grand Ruler shook his head regretfully, “And I will tell you this: All I know for certain is that if we go through with this, Daybreaker will definitely escape.

This is one risk I absolutely refuse to take.”

Part of Celestia agreed already, but the rest of her was still upset and frightened and wanted the evil to be gone from her body before something just as bad, if not worse would happen.

Suddenly, she had a nasty feeling inside of her, and could almost feel the evil voice hissing “…Thank you for telling me this!”


“Oh, no!” cried Celestia “I think she understands this too!”

Grand Ruler cringed at such a thought.

Things had just gotten worse, and he knew Daybreaker was quite influential, even to other ponies in their dreams.

They had to alert the team at once, especially the Equestrian Fighters.


Lightning and Starla, along with Fluttershy and Rhymey, and their respective babies, were among the several others gathered at Artie’s gallery that day for the unveiling of his new work and other works that were rented to him from other artists.

There were all kinds of paintings, statues sent from all over the planet, but the friends really wanted to see what Artie’s creation would be.

Artie rang a small bell to gather everyone’s attention as he stood before the curtain that covered his painting.

“You are all familiar with some of the fine works I have made, but recently I have had a rush of inspiration.

Now, I would like to present my newest artwork, “Shimmering Sunset.”

He pulled the curtain open, and everyone gazed in awe at the beautiful picture.

“Oh, my, that’s beautiful.” said Fluttershy.

Rhymey nodded and just looking at all the pretty colors made him make up a small poem…


“Setting sun in the darkening skies,
Your colors are pretty and oh…
In the fading light that brings forth the night
It’s peaceful and lovely just so.”

His wife leaned up against him, feeling soothing and warm from that.

Lightning and Starla however, both were holding in giggles, figuring they knew where Artie got the inspiration from.

“He’s got it hard for her alright.” Starla whispered.

Lightning agreed, and for a while he had been thinking of a way to help not just Artie with his feelings, but maybe help Sunset as well-- help her get out more and see the world around her.

“I have an appointment this afternoon with their majesties to tell my proposal.”

He whispered into her ear of his plan, and she nodded thinking it was a great idea.

“But what if Artie doesn’t agree?” asked Starla.

Lightning looked skeptical but admitted, “If their majesties approve of the idea, I can pull rank on him. Besides, he’ll be thankful in the long run, and maybe Sunset will to.”

Suddenly, Fluttershy’s energizer began to pulsate, a sign that she was wanted at New Canterlot Palace immediately for a quick meeting.

“Oh, I have to go.” she said, and then she asked Rhymey if he’d look after Button Fly until she got him.

Of course Rhymey agreed to take care of his own son.

“I’m going too.” said Lightning “I have business to discuss with their majesties.”

He winked at Starla, and she winked back at him.

“What sort of business?” asked Fluttershy.

“Oh, you’ll see.”


*Mykan’s POV*

With summer just around the corner, regular schools would be closing for holidays soon, but every now and then, their majesties invited me to the palace to give their children a private tutoring about The Human World where I came from.

…I got paid for it of course, but I always enjoyed coming to the palace anyway.

Though Castor and Leilani were royalty, they were told by their parents to respect me and behave well.


I was showing the children slides of different locations and scenery from my home world--mountains, large cities, small towns, and farmlands, and even sites of famous people too.


“You see,” I said to my students “My world and your world have a lot of things in common, and despite whatever little differences there are, one day we can all look past them and help unify the two worlds so humans, ponies and other creatures can share world as part of an Interdimensional Way of Life.”

The children, while intrigued, they still seemed a little upset about something.

Castor raised his hand “Mr. Stevens?”

“Yes…?”

“Do you have monsters in your world?”

I felt stunned by that question. “Monsters…? What do you mean?”

The children then told me about what was wrong with their mother, and I figured I knew they were talking about this Daybreaker I had been seeing in my own dreams as well.

“So it’s true,” I thought “Queen Celestia really is in danger. No wonder the children seem so spooked.”

Leilani then asked me the real question she and her brother were trying to say, “What do people in your world do about monsters like that?”

I didn’t know really how to answer that, monsters like Daybreaker didn’t really exist in my world in that way, but I didn’t want to leave the children feeling scared and had to at least try and help them find confidence.

“…I guess…” I paused “…I guess what it comes down to is, not giving into your fears. When people or bad things know you’re afraid of them then it’s easy for them to gain power over you and scare you, but if you find your courage to stand up to them, you can do something about those fears and chase the monsters away so they don’t come back.

I should know. I wouldn’t be living here in United Equestria if not for my own courage.”

The children were starting to ponder of how they could be brave for their mother, and began to think maybe she was scared too.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

“Come…” I called.

Cadance was there, “Sorry to interrupt, but lunch is ready.”


I was invited to lunch with them. Cadance had prepared a lovely meal for us all and her husband, who was busy feeding Flurry Heart her bottle, which kept him from the delicious meal that lay before him.

“Come on, honey, can’t you drink any faster?” he teased his daughter.

Cadance and her little cousins giggled.


“How’s The New Crystal Empire doing?” I asked.

“Oh, just fine,” replied Cadance “The Supreme Council keep sending me reports…” she paused and sighed “I don’t regret being here, where it’s safe, but I really wish I could be there to see it for myself.”


Her husband felt the same way, but Flurry didn’t seem to mind as she finished her bottle and fell asleep in his arms. So he could finally set her down in her playpen, and he could eat!

Once we were finished our lunch, we all wanted to help clear the table away, but Cadance insisted on doing it herself.

“I don’t mind, really. I do this all the time when caring for my own family.”

“She’s not kidding.” agreed Shining Armor “I try to help her, she insists I don’t.”

I couldn’t help but giggle, but the children, being too young, didn’t get it.

Cadance’s cleanup had to be put on hold when a royal guard came in and informed her of an important matter from The New Crystal Empire that both she and Shining Armor had to address.

That’s when Sunset Shimmer came in wheeling a cart to take the dishes away to the kitchen for cleaning.

“At least let us help you to load the cart.” I offered.

“No, no, this is my job.” Sunset insisted, and then she grumbled “It’s all I have to keep me going actually.”

I could tell from the bored look on her face that she longed for more than just a life inside the palace and being a mere servant.

I understood how she felt-- when I first came to United Equestria I didn’t seem to have much of a future myself until I earned peoples’ trust and ventured out a little.

Nevertheless, she seemed determined to do her job and already refused my help, so I decided to take the children for a walk in the gardens.

*End of POV*


Lightning and the Equestrian ponies had all arrived at the palace, much to Lightning’s surprise, and all of them were ordered to the briefing room at once-- Lightning too.


Their majesties were waiting for them.

“What’s going on?” asked Lightning.

“That’s what I’d like to know too.” added Rainbow.

Grand Ruler cleared his throat, “We call you ladies here because it concerns you especially, and Lightning is here too, he may as well know.”

Pinkie felt a shiver run down her spine, “Uh, oh! That’s my Pinkie Sense,” she muttered “…This can’t be good!”

…Indeed, when they were all informed of the situation, their faces were all in shock and frozen as if they head just heard a ghost story.

“So if Daybreaker tries to control you, or us, she can free herself?” asked Applejack.

Celestia nodded regretfully.

Rarity felt dizzy and wanted to faint, but had to keep her composure at this official meeting.

“What are we going to do? What CAN we do?” she asked in panic.

Celestia then stood with a strict expression on her face. “…We’re going to do it. That’s what.”

“What?!” snapped Grand Ruler.

“WHAT?!!” the others all shouted.

“Begging your pardon,” said Lightning “…But are you crazy?! You just told us it could kill you!”

“And you also said that Daybreaker will be released for sure!” cried Fluttershy.

Celestia remained unnerved, even after her husband protested. “No! Absolutely-no! I won’t take this risk!”

His wife looked at him sternly, “You’re not! I am, and I have decided-- I am going through this.

I realize the risks involved, but not doing it leaves even more risks; not just for me, but for everyone in the entire kingdom.

The sooner this evil is removed from me, the better!”

The ladies were not so sure of this, and neither was Lightning.

Grand Ruler clenched his fists and was ready to slam the table and fully yell out to demand this be stopped, but he was stuck himself. It seemed no matter which way he chose, there would be danger and risk involved, and no matter which way it went, the risk would affect the same countless lives.

All this stress made his headache, and his body go numb with anxiety. Never had he felt so cornered in his life.

Celestia looked at her husband, feeling upset that he was hurting. Deep down, she, herself, felt no different.

She shut her eyes tight, but a small tear crept through and rolled down her cheek, “I’m sorry, but I must go through with this. I know how dangerous and risky it is, and how it will badly affect the kingdom and my family…

…But you must understand I am doing this FOR the kingdom and my family.”

She said no more, but everyone could see how she was a mix of brave and scared at the same time.

Grand Ruler was trembling with worry, and doing all he could to keep his own tears back. “Celestia… I…” he tried to find the right words to say, but he had none. It was all too contradictory and too much wishful thinking…

…But his wife could see though him, and she knew he loved and cared about her so much, and he really didn’t want anything bad to happen to her, or the lands.

She put her hand on his shoulder, and gave him a tearful yet brave smile without saying anything.

The two lovers just kept gazing at each other, which made Fluttershy sniffle. “Those poor creatures…!”

Rarity dabbed her eyes “This is so much, I can’t bear it!”

Pinkie blew her nose into a hankie barely able to control her sobbing.

Lightning, Applejack, and Rainbow were crying-- at least not on the outside-- yet all three of them had never seen their majesties like this before-- so brave, and yet so scared at the same time.


A few moments later, Celestia was looking out the window at the children playing merrily in the gardens outside, and under the watchful eye of Mykan.

Her tears fell down onto her hands. She couldn’t bear to tell her children of the risks, not wanting to worry them of her safety, but she felt so guilty for not telling them in the knowledge that if she were to die.

She rubbed her eyes with her glove, and then walked off to join the others.



Not a single soul outside of the group was aware of what was about to happen.

The group met in a special chamber, deep within the mountain that the palace was built on.

The walls were all solid and made of layers, and layers of the material similar to the Starfleet battle suits-- Nothing would hurt them so easily, and nothing could teleport in or out, almost like a jail cell.

This was the perfect place to conduct the plan, and everyone was hoping with all their might that things would work for the better.

Celestia and the Equestrians all stood as the Valkyries of Harmony.

The five smaller ponies all stood before Celestia, as if to face her in combat, which was almost exactly what was about to happen.

Lightning and Grand Ruler stood behind Celestia, and she rolled her eyes looking behind at them.

“Do you really think this will help?” Lightning asked.

His majesty hesitated and then answered, “…I honestly don’t know. Everything the data showed me were only possibilities, but this stunt has never before been attempted, and you and I must do our parts as well.”

Lightning nodded, and remained ready as ever.


Celestia looked back at forth between the other valkyries, “You all know what to do?”

“YES MA’AM!!” they all said, yet they still seemed reluctant on their part to be doing this, which was understandable.

Celestia nodded and raised her magic sword in the air, and the others did the same as Celestia called out, “We summon fort The Powers of Harmony. Combined together we will vanquish the evil!”

One-by-one, each Valkyrie called out their respective element.

Rarity: “Generosity!”

Rainbow: “Loyalty!”

Fluttershy: “Kindness!”

Pinkie: “Laughter!”

Applejack: “Honesty!”

Celestia: “Magic!”

The swords all began to glow brightly!



“Get ready, Lightning!” said Grand Ruler.

“Ready! I’m ready!” replied Lightning.


The five Equestrians pointed their swords straight at Celestia, and in a split second, Celestia whipped round and aimed at her husband and Lightning.

“FIRE!!” she shouted!

She fired her own blast at the men while the ladies fired at her, striking her with their combined powers.

“Now!!” shouted Grand Ruler, and both he and Lightning intercepted Celestia’s beam with their combined powers of the Uniforce, and send the blast right back at her.

“AAAAHH…!!!” Celestia screamed as the blasts struck her hard, and she dropped her sword.

Grand Ruler winced, but stayed where he was, and could only watch as his wife was engulfed by the bright lights, and she groaned and yowled!

“No!!” cried Rarity, and she wanted to rush forth, but Rainbow stopped her.

The light continued to work on Celestia, and everyone could suddenly see something!

“What’s that?!” cried Pinkie, pointing at what appeared to be flaming aura emerging from Celestia’s body.

The aura then began to cry out, “Stop!! You can’t do this to me!!”


“It’s Daybreaker!” shouted Lightning.

“The evil is beginning to emerge!” cried Grand Ruler.

No one dared blast the evil, for fear of harming Celestia.

“KEEP GOING…!!” Celestia yelled “I CAN FEEL HER POWER WEAKENENING!!”

Daybreaker yelled back at her, “YOU… WILL NOT… SILENCE… ME!!”

Still enveloped in the magic of the light, the aura emerged more and more and Celestia could get a full view of it herself!

The forces were so intense that the lights in the chamber began to flicker.

Even in her painful and enveloped state, Celestia managed to find just a tad bit of strength and fired a small blast from her horn at the evil aura.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!” shouted Daybreaker “NOOOOOO…!!!”

After a huge and bright flash, everyone found themselves on the floor.

Lightning groaned as he slowly got up and rubbed the back of his head.

The Equestrians all came to as well, no longer in their Valkyrie forums.

“What happened?” asked Applejack.

“Did we do it?” added Pinkie.

Everyone then looked on and saw Celestia lying flat in the center of the chamber.

“Celestia!” cried Grand Ruler and he dashed over and scooped up his wife in his arms.

“Celestia… Celestia…?”

She slowly began to awaken, which relieved everybody that she was alive.

“Darling, are you alright?” asked Grand Ruler.

His wife groggily rubbed her eyes, “I feel… I feel…” then, in a split second, her eyes snapped wide open, “…I feel fantastic!” and she bolted upright “…I feel better than ever.”

She leapt up and down, and did a couple of backflips showing she was fully fine.

“Does that me we did it?” asked Rarity “Is Daybreaker really gone?”

“Hmm…” said Lightning and he activate his visor to appear and scanned his queen’s bod from top to bottom. “Temperature: Normal. Pulse: Normal. No signs of flaming energy-- at least on the surface.”

“…She’s gone!” Celestia said happily “I can’t feel her presence anymore.”

Lightning gazed at her with his visors polygraph scan, and she was telling the full truth.

Even Grand ruler could sense the honesty in his wife’s voice.

“But where is Daybreaker?”

Everyone looked around, and there wasn’t a sign of her anywhere. Lightning couldn’t even scan for her essence.

“I thought this was supposed to split the two apart?” asked Fluttershy.

Celestia then explained…

“Ever since this morning, when I was told about the possibilities, I realized these were all potential risks if done only using the Elements of Harmony, such as when they were first used on my sister.

I think felt that with Lightning and Celesto here, by repelling my Force of Magic back at me with the Uniforce, its power would be reduced and not be so lethal, and it gave me the extra bit of strength that I needed to zap Daybreaker myself, which is why she isn’t here.”


Grand Ruler was amazed at his wife’s theory.


“So, she’s gone?” asked Rainbow “…Really gone?”

“I should think so.” said Celestia “She isn’t here, I can’t feel her presence, and Lightning can’t scan for her.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I feel like celebrating.”


Grand Ruler smiled lovingly at his wife, and she gave him a rather naughty expression.

The ladies all felt things were about to heat up, and felt it best they head back home, now that all was well.

So they left the chamber.

Their majesties were gazing into each other’s eyes.

"You just made all that stuff about the Uniforce up, didn't you?" asked Grand Ruler.

His wife admired, "Yes, it was all just dumb luck, but I'm so glad it worked."

Her husband chuckled, "You never cease to amaze me."

Lightning cleared his throat, “Um… your majesties. Forgive me, but I did have my own business to discuss with you, regarding Sunset Shimmer.”

Realizing the importance of their duties, their majesties heard him out, and agreed with his idea.


“WHAT?” Sunset cried when she was told the news “…Me, live in New Ponyville?”


“That’s right,” said Grand Ruler “You’ve been serving here at the palace now for quite some time, but you really ought to get out there and see the world as it is.”

Sunset agreed to that, but she was still completely nervous about it all, “But what will I do for money? Where will I live? Who’s going to show me everything?”

“Oh, Lightning’s already made arrangements for all that.” Celestia giggled.


“You did WHAT?!” Artie snapped when Lightning told him the news.

“That’s right. As of one week from tonight, Sunset Shimmer will be moving here to New Ponyville, and she’ll be living under your care.

And before you even try to object,” he held out a signed notification from their majesties, making the arrangements a direct order and he could not refuse.

“Lightning how could you do this to me?!” Artie scolded.

“More like how could I not do it in the first place.” said Lightning “It’s no secret Artie, we all know you like Sunset.”

Artie blushed in embarrassment, and there was no way to deny it. “That still doesn’t make it right!” he sneered “You’re just peering into my privacy and putting upon it now.”

“Perhaps…” agreed Lightning “But think of Sunset, and think what you’ll be doing for her? She needs a better life than just playing Servant in the Palace. You can be there for her, provide for her, help her adapt to the world around her.

…Don’t you think you’d both benefit from that?”

Artie realized this, and all of a sudden it didn’t seem to feel like such a bad idea, and so he agreed to at least try, and because he had no authority to refuse anyway.

Lightning nodded in satisfaction, and he thought softly, “…You’ll thank me for this, Artie.”


Artie already looked thankful, as he silently pondered the idea of Sunset living with him, and he being a sort of… tutor to her.

He could only smile and blush.


That night, he dreamed peacefully of Sunset and he working together in one of those old scenes where two lovers were molding a clay pot.

Artie could only sigh in his sleep.


Sunset was dreaming of something not as similar, but just as nice.

There she was, as a Kung-Fu fighter, and training hard in an arena, and her handsome mentor--Artie-- bowed to her and praised her for her success, which flattered her.


Their majesties were cuddling close and sleeping blissfully.

Cadance and Shining Armor were too.


Now that Daybreaker had been removed from Celestia’s subconscious, nobody in the palace or across the entire planet was suffering from anymore nightmares.

Even Princess Luna, while out on her nightly rounds, sensed no disturbances.


What nobody realized, however, was that the threat was not really gone!


The moonlight shone through an open window in the royal master bedroom, directly at Celestia, but she was sleeping so deeply that she didn’t even stir and continued to sleep away…

…While a small shadow of her head appeared on the wall next to her, and it actually spouted two flaming, and evil eyes.

Daybreaker was still alive, and hiding within the safety of Celestia’s shadow!

“You can’t get rid of me that easily.” she hissed to herself “Now I have another way to get what I want, and I doubt you and your friends will be stop me this time.”

Her snicker slowly faded into the darkness as she slipped back into silence.
