Her Prophecy
Luna levitated the dark book towards her as she watched Twilight and her friends ride off back to Ponyville.
"Sister, are you sure that you can stop it? Everything the book has prophesied has come to pass. Why should she be any different?"
Celestia shook her head and sighed.
"I don't know, I just know that we have to try and stop it from happening."
The Lunar princess had never been very good at hiding her emotions, and the hurt she felt was apparent when she spoke.
"Why couldn't you have saved me then?"
Celestia looked over to her younger sister, and saw the tears forming in the corner of the dark alicorn's eyes. When just the two of them were alone together, there was no need for them to hide their feelings from the world, yet Luna still insisted on keeping all of her sadness to herself.
"Oh Luna." Celestia sighed, embracing her sister in a hug "I tried Luna, I really did, but you wouldn't let me. You kept your emotions bottled up, just like they are now, and I couldn't see the darkness that was eating away at your heart until it was too late. It's okay to express your feeling Luna, you just have to be...careful...with them when interacting with the public."
Tears were now flowing freely down the princess of the nights face. Despite her sadness, she continued the conversation in between her sobs.
"What if...What if she can't be saved?...just...Just like me."
Celestia held her sister for a moment longer, before releasing her from the embrace.
"Then we have to be prepared for what is to come."
Luna waited for her tears to stop, before she mentioned her fears to her older sister.
"What was the point of the test you gave her?"
"Exactly what i said it was, to see if she was ready for the next step."
"And what have you decided?"
"I already told her that she had passed."
Luna gave her sister a quizzical look, one that saw through her half-truth and demanded a real answer. Celestia only sighed at the lunar princess's stubborn persistence.
"I'm going to let her continue to the next level."
"WHAT?"
The force of Luna's shouting accompanied by an accidental use of the royal canterlot voice was enough to almost blow Celestia off the balcony. After stepping inside the castle, and having Celestia soundproof the room, Luna continued.
"Why would you do that?"
"She saved the crystal empire, and even though spike helped her, she put the needs of the many above herself. Such is not the act of our destroyer."
"She wasn't supposed to pass the test!"
Celestia winced as she felt the soundproofing spell break. Luna, paying attention to it despite her anger, lowered her voice and attempted to stop shouting. But the rage in her words was still just as evident.
"She was supposed to fail. Nopony could have saved them but us. Nopony else knows the dark magic that Sombra used. She couldn't have passed gotten past the false door unless she could cast it."
"But she didn't give into it, if she had then she would have been stuck there forever. We enchanted the door that way...remember?"
"She had Spike with her, You told her to do that task alone, and she brought Spike. Spike would have snapped her out of the enchantment, how else do you think he managed to end up being the one to save the day?"
"Twilight could have simply given the credit to him..."
Even to herself the idea sounded ridiculous, they had placed that final trap in place to turn the dark energy in a pony against them, and from the events they had witnessed transpire through the eyes of the fake king Sombra that had been 'attacking' the town, there was plenty of dark energy to spare inside Twilight.
"No Celestia, both of us saw the extent of the darkness inside of her. We can't let her get stronger until we're sure that it's not going to be a problem."
Knowing that the argument was hopeless, Celestia went on the offensive.
"What do you suggest i do then Luna? Just tell her, oh sorry about the whole sending you out to a crystal empire that was secretly keeping their true forms withheld in order to make a test. Sorry about making a fake sombra attack it and everything, and about making you have to witness your worst fear come true, but we've realised that you're actually a evil mare consumed by darkness prophesied to destroy the world and because of that I have to make your worst fear come true. Do you really want me to do that to her Luna?"
"Of course I don't! But we can't just let her continue like this, she's already almost as powerful as I am. If she continues like this, nothing will be able to stop her if the prophecy comes true!"
"Then what do you suggest I do? Because unless you haven't noticed, Its either we break that poor mare's heart, or we keep her close and try to change her fate!"
The two sisters were glaring daggers at each other, noses pressed up against each other as they belted out their words. As the door opened into the chamber the alicorns were in, both of the ponies turned to see a nervous looking guard trembling as he stared at the two royal sisters.
"WHAT IS IT?"
The two sisters yelled out in unison, Only just realising that they had begun to use the royal canterlot voice once again. The trembling guard replied in a weak voice that seemed just as nervous as he looked.
"S-sorry to interrupt but...um...the younger sisters guards would like to know why she felt the need to disturb their sleep with 'such an horrific array of sound'. Not my words your majesty, theirs."
As the pony slipped back out into the hall, closing the door behind him. Luna sighed to herself, before abruptly stopping and addressing her older sister.
"Damnit, now you've got me doing it to."
Despite the unresolved argument still between them, Celestia let a smile colour her features.
"It comes with the job."

I was waiting for this.
Oh man, I knew that a story like this was coming. You might want to lay off the caps lock though, as a suggestion.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaand here come the dark magic fics!
Interesting, I was curious when these fics where going to start. Good job it will be interesting to see where this goes.
memelatte.com/media/created/3yn25q.jpg
You have my interest. I can't wait to see how this works out.
Me neither.
Shush. However, I did happen to notice some small grammatical errors and a few lowercase "i"s.
1607578
As have I.
All I can say IS:
ALL.MY.YESES.
I wonder if you felt like you were going to fail...
WHY WOULD YOU! I'm tracking.
You have a bad habit of not capitalizing I, but other than that this looks pretty good.
Good beggining, I would recommend checking your I's. There are some like this "i". Oh and like someone else said to much cap lock is not good if used to much. I can't wait to see where this is going.
Always liked the thought of an evil TS. Her personality SCREAMS potential for it. I'mma gonna fave and track this. Do me a favor... Do NOT let it go stale, yeah?
~Skeeter T L
Oh my gosh, so many people, so many favourites,
.
I'll try not to dissapoint you guys. But thanks for all of the comments and favourites, you have no idea how much I squee'ed when i say those 50 or so notifications when this went up. Thanks again, and I'll try and make this a fic truly worthy of your attention.
for all those people hating on all the dark twi fics coming out, blame hasbro for making something that should have been a 3 or 4 parter into a 2 parter. also, good story.
about to watch the first 2 episodes of season 3 and if they hint anything towards this (which they highly might *points to fic*) it would be very interesting. Isay let the Dark Magic fics come, for I am a Dark Magic fan an any form.
BUT REMEMBER THIS!!
Is there truly Light and Dark Magic?
Light Magic can be used for Evil
Dark Magic can be used for Good
I will now let the comments and questions roll in.
BTW Great Job!!
*facehoof* as soon as i saw twilight use dark magic i knew this would happen....why does this fandom have so much in common with rule 34
have all my internets and keep up the good work
I see a lot of promise with this story, a lot of potential here. I'd suggest finding an editor to proof-read and revising it a little bit to make some things a little more clear. Hell, I'd be happy to help you edit the story, I'm immensely curious as to where this goes, and I'd like it to reach its full potential. At the moment, I feel that it's only reaching a small fraction as to what it could.
1612602 I would be very pleased to take you up on that offer, I have a very bad habit of failing to successfully proofread my stories...So...how does this work? (I've never had someone like one of my stories enough to offer to edit it before)
1609249 What do you mean? This isn't r34.
1612869
I'm not certain, I've never actually proofread on this site before (Despite being here since Beta). We could do it various ways including you PMing me unpublished chapters (I think you can do that.), sending me a google doc link to your unfinished chapter via PM, or just sending me a document through email. I'd prefer to try in that order. I usually check Fimfiction a couple of times a week, so I should pick up your PM.
Seems like a good beginning so far. I like your reinterpretation of the episode's events, and have a bad feeling that Celestia and Luna, in trying to stop Twi's prophecy, ended up bringing it about.
You have my attention, please continue.
1613076
i mean if it exist out there there is an mlp fanfic of it. kinda like r34. i didnt mean r34 litterally
1615572 Ahhhhh gotcha. Maybe r63 would be a better example?
1613269 If I may, a comment? I'm the head editor for DungeonMiner and A Novice Swordsman in the Canterlot Court. Google Docs is awesome for editing. Also, it's probably a good idea to track any changes you may make to the story so the author can see what's different. If you don't plan on making changes directly, I would suggest highlighting and footnotes.
Well ... this was expected.
Still interesting though.

i dont know*shrug* r34 was just the first thing that my head compared it to.
This is a very interesting fic, I have always felt like Celestia have been testing Twilight for something, that all the events that have happened in the last two seasons (or most of them at least) were by Celestia's own design, made for the sole purpose of testing Twilight.
1620801 Yeah, it threw the author and me for a while. Right, author?
1621156 .1620801 Indeed, we thought for a moment you might have been commenting on another story and posted it on this one by accident
1621797 But now we know, so all is great, or so says the Jali Llama.
Well I hope this turns into what I want it too keep up the good work BTW
1621797>>1622556
lol. i can understand he misunderstanding. ...and who is jali Llama?
1626534 Sorry, that was meant to be Jalai Llama. And, um, sort of like the Dalai Lama, I suppose, except a real llama. And jolly.
1626728
i still dont get it
Lovely, More please
1608599 hey mate was just wondering when the next update is
1643871 Expect it within the week (I've got exams next week so it's been a bit slow working on it with all the studying I've had to do, But i should be able to get an update complete before the new episode)
1645353global3.memecdn.com/still-waiting_o_207253.jpg
I'm afraid this story has not updated since November of last year. I fear it has been abandoned.
<.< >.> sooooooooo anymore we should know about?
When are you going to update?
That was an interesting opening I look forward to your next chapter
Are there any plans to complete this story? I ask because I am going to favorite this because the plot behind it sounds interesting. HOWEVER, until it is completed, I am going to give it a thumbs down. Because while I may approve of the plot behind the story, I DO NOT approve of the fact that it has been 2 years, 1 month, and 4 weeks since the last update. I mean, I understand that greatness can't be rushed, but needing 789 days in order to update the next chapter means one of three things. A: You've given up on the book (this is the most likely scenario). B: You’re too busy to write any more (this is understandable). Or C: You're dead (this is a scenario with a 50% probability chance, seeing as how people die every day.) If option C makes you feel uncomfortable than that means two things. You are obviously not dead, and I am sorry for having that as one of the three possibilities. Also, don’t give up! Your fans deserve better! I, of course, meant that in the best and most encouraging possible way.
Dead story?
