Chapter One
The moon shone in the distant, magical, enchanted, enchanted land of Equestria.
In the large and beautiful capital city dwellers slept calm and quiet in their homes, all except one young mare from the tower of his imposing castle watched the full moon high in the sky surrounded by empty bottles of cider, she slept next to those who had liberated from the influence of darkness.
Suddenly his eyes were drawn by an explosion followed immediately by an indescribable chaos.
"What's going on?" Said the filly out of the door and noticing that the guard were taken from agitation.
"We've heard a bang!"
"Nobody knows what happened!"
"Alarm!"
At that moment there came a mighty stallion with a long mane, thick tail, eyes and hair of a beautiful black on or shut up with his powerful voice:
"Calm down herd of donkeys by four fake money is just burst into fire in the zone of the masters art of fireworks. We are trying to limit the damage but the flames are too fast, because no pegasus is available at night. Now sit here and let us not panic it will help us, if you want to bring home the need to obey Pellacchia clear? "
Nobody, not even the princess was able to object to those words.
"Well now listen up everyone. You have to give up in order and calm, just your rooms no matter what you let inside but think about saving your neck. I warn you that those who try to be clever will be spent for weapons and now on the march, before the mares and foals stallions then! "
The tone of the young man was so proud that no one dare oppose all executed orders and putting safe though just in time as the fire reached the palace shortly after the last pony had escaped by wrapping it and destroying it while ashes fell pony without doing great harm if not coat the hair and make the various pony unrecognizable
Then Luna approached a group of young puledrine that they were discussing among themselves by observing the remains of the city.
"You know girls beast that always makes me afraid!"
"Tell me about it Lyra. Mom told me that in his veins runs the blood but not the power of Nightmare Moon! "
"My father says it's trouble!"
"Seriously Bon Bon? My hand says we have to take them over! Infuse He always thought to save the lives of ponies of all breeds! "
"My mother says that despite its appearance and its times of life deserves respect"
"Excuse me who you're talking about?"
"But as you know him?"
"It is Iacopo the stallion mysterious!"
"He who says, was born from the marriage of Eternal Night and Gloomy Grim Reaper and therefore can not exist in the light of the sun!"
At that moment the moon went down and the sun rose, but the cloud of smoke and ash prevented the heat and the light might go to full power on the ruins of the capital but it was enough to leave Pinkie Pie and incredibly shocked to send forth tears from her face the young assistant magical unicorn.
"I'm esterefatta! I had never seen such a sight! "
"What a dump!"
"Nearly half of the city is down!"
"And an entire neighborhood is destroyed!"
"Entire buildings went up in smoke that could have happened?"
"I saw only seen and heard an explosion and then there was complete chaos at least until a pony, is larger than the other joint is saved everyone!"
"You do not know why but Iacopo always appears when there are hazards or disasters and disappears once all over."
At that moment made his appearance Celestia escorted by his guard and Iacopo which visibly limping, carrying a mysterious envelope between his teeth.
Only then Luna noticed that James was much larger and robust than a normal pony and most incredible thing was equipped with eight legs
It was Iacopo first to notice the moon and before anyone could do or say something and threw away Celestie staring Luna bowed oblivious to the serious injury he suffered a right hind leg, causing the reactions of those present.
"Have you seen him?"
"One resists the light of the sun!"
"No, not that! He who has never bent his head before anyone now bows to that pretty little filly! "
"It is clear that she has to represent something for him!"
"Who knows maybe it's his mistress!"
"Then just get rid of her to make it harmless!"
"Or to end badly!"
"You think so?"
Heedless of the comments made the stallion:
"My mistress, 1000 years have passed since the last time you show your figure to a member of my race. I am the last heir of James Bleck Death, the chief of the guard lord of the few lunar and pony clubs. After your exile my race was decimated and nowadays there is only one survivor: I. When my time will end I will go to the hall of Vahalla and I can watch my avi and tell that I last saw Our Lady in all its eternal beauty, this envelope I found the location of the fire and is strangely intact in to you when I heard you ... if you do evil villains to Princess Luna know that there will be no area of the perverse and wicked land of Equestria that you will save from the fury of the last of Wendom! "
"You're the last one? Tell me what happens to your grandfather and to your descendants that once filled the halls of the palace at night while I was using my powers. "
The direct interrelated fixed before those present and then look at Celestia, who returned him:
"Go ahead if you want. So no one but Luna, can command you! "
Then the stallion stood up and began to speak:
"After the fight between the day and night when the royal guards fought each other and were decimated he found himself without a lady, but she knew that sooner or later you'd be back so he rejoined the race and did his best to avoid trouble but hatred for us wendom was so ingrained in our solar city of Luna City was occupied and the inhabitants massacred. In a few managed to escape the city erected and consecrated to his gentility that was razed and the rubble that was poured salt.
After this act, your sister did all he could to prevent our extinction but reduced in number and driven across Equestria ended up with the vanishing I saved myself because my father Odin and my mother Athena were found by the guards and taken to the palace, they were married and I was born. Alas, fate had already decided that none of them could see me grow my mother die giving birth to me and my father was grief-stricken and two years later he fell defeated by a disease.
Left alone I grew up in this building by training hour after hour, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, to become stronger and stronger because I knew it was only a matter of time before his height and then he would come back done justice! Over time traveling throughout the kingdom looking for other brothers and sisters, I could not believe the fact that he was alone, but I reached the always late.
I buried the remains of many brothers, some other young old! But at last the 1000 years of the spell ended.
I was ready to fight for evil, blinded by rage and dal'invidia to see the ponies of the day happy and carefree as I would have been sentenced to spend the nights alone without a friend or a companion.
But Celestia made me realize that I had to leave it to the elements of harmony that would bring true justice and that to which I was spiravo revenge and all I got was another expiration of the blood in which all forms of life in Equestria would be drowned, and for that I have not moved to the return of His Majesty, I look forward to orders! "
The princess of the night looked at the blood out of the paw of the warrior and said:
"First you have to go to make you treat the wound to the leg, then leads us to analyze the envelope that you are getting and then we'll see!"
"It is my queen!" The warrior said this left the present and the envelope is handed to the guards with orders to analyze it and open it, walked to one of the many tents mendiche erected to cope with the situation.
Shortly after the incarnations of the elements of harmony, the two princesses rulers, the guards and the last night ponies had gathered.
"People group analysis magic finished the job!" Iacopo looking at the present with a cold stare and sharp.
"They found something interesting?"
"It is the envelope was protected by a very powerful magic because it was directed magic academy, from what I understand not garatisco the autentità saw that I was one protective spell that in case of loss would have to report the loss, unfortunately he had to deliver the pegasus has lost it and we know where you fall and what happened! "
"So it was just an accident?" Said Luna
"It majesty. An accident that could have been avoided so I'm allowed to lock the head in a cell, provided that the prison is not destroyed, waiting to send her to the gallows or to do the dance of the rope! "
At these words all fell silent and Luna was talking about "Do not you exaggerating? Even the halter for a mere accident, of course the consequences of his action were disastrous but I think it did not have the will to do harm to anyone so please put your sword and open the cell! "
"I can not Majesty is written that those who are guilty of crimes willy-nilly must be brought to court and judged them, but because the news is racing faster and faster the inhabitants of what was once the city of Canterlot clamoring for justice, I must confess that because for once there is not have it with me I intend to satisfy them without losing too much time! "
Luna looked at the mighty stallion and made "And so to vent anger and hatred you feel toward the mean solar macchiarti of innocent blood? You know what will get you to lose your essence? "
"My lady and mistress I have always lived in darkness because when you were sealed to us wendom was deprived of the ability to withstand direct sunlight as the time has become our worst enemy because if exposed to such a force we lose our life wendom disappearing in a cloud of smoke, which is why our race began to die out! "
"I order you to stop and wait for the outrage that justice is done, it will be ascertained only after the whole truth can stain your sword with the blood of the guilty. But until then that your weapon remains sealed inside its sheath and the blade does not see neither the sun nor the moon until you receive the order to recall it!
I know that your heart is crying out the blood of your enemies but if you do so you will fall into an endless abyss in which you will lose everything that you are, and I'll tell you from personal experience because when I let myself be blinded by bitterness became a murderous beast and my sister had to reluctantly fight me and lock me in a prison enchanted to prevent the delicate balance were broken by a whim of mine! "
"So I will! Now I'm going to try to hide in a cave before the wind scattering the ashes that allow me to stay here with you, "said James leaving the place.
A few days after all the ponies of Equestria had gathered taken the capital, rebuilt quickly thanks to the magic of the sisters rulers, waiting for justice, observing a wooden stage built in the center of the main square.
Suddenly made his appearance on stage Iacopo, completely wrapped in black armor, dragging a heavy chain with a young unicorn by blue mantle, the mane silver / pale blue eyes and magenta then thundered with his cold voice, reading a sheet kept hanging in front of him:
"Pony in all of Equestria now opening the process to the unicorn ... what's it say? Zite? no Ixi in Trie ... "
"Er .. truly the mo name would be great and powerful Trixie! "said the unicorn in a low voice and frightened.
"Really? Strange name, but if that's what ..... you open the process to the great and powerful Trixie unicorn accused of the following offenses:
1) Attempted murder.
2) Arson.
3) Omission of service
4) Failure to rescue.
5) False generality
6) Sorcery
7) Banditry
8) profiteering
9) Lesa majesty. "
To that list of crimes Rarity turned to the sweet Fluttershy "that long list! I fear for that pony there are much hope. I do not envy the lawyer that will defend! "
Even before the sweet winged horse could answer the cold and devilish voice Iacopo continue reading the paper:
"For all those asking the court gathered here consists of:
Prosecutor: Iacopo.
Assistant prosecutor: Rainbow Dash
Jury: Celestia, Luna, Hoity Toity, Photo Finish, Sapphire Shores, Diamond Tiara and Fancypants.
Defense attorney: Fluttershy "and here you feel a slight thump due to the fact that the direct question had fainted
"Assistant Defense Attorney: Pinkie Pie!" Another thud
"Judge: Applejack!"
Assistant to the judge: Cutie Mark Crusaders
Please extracts to get to their seats! "
So the young man settle into place after positioning the victim.
Applejack and the Cutie Mark Crusaders settled on a place to judge and said:
"What the prosecution starts well and please keep it short!"
"Your honor, noble members of the jury asks this court to the defendant, that losing the envelope has unleashed the fire in the capital, the death penalty for all crimes! Oh finished! "
At these words the whole crowd erupted shouting:
"Death! Rupe Tartar! Cask Regulus! Iron Maiden of Nuremberg! Widow! Noose! Pendulum! At Stake! "
The judge tried to calm the crowd, however, calm command only James who clearly had everything under control.
"Er defense must speak!"
However, before Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie could talk the crowd began to speak:
"What's the defenses! Fairy speak the Jury want justice! Justice! "
"Silence band of jackasses. The defense must speak and then justice will be done! "
At these words the crowd subsided, but the pony pony kindness and laughter did not know what to say except:
"We ask for clemency by the jury. Our client has just made a mistake for those who do not happen to make mistakes? We're finished! "
"Um jury's verdict please! Rainbow Dash keep the count "
Celestia: "Innocent!"
Luna: "Innocent"
Hoity Toity "Guilty!"
Photo Finish "Guilty!"
Sapphire Shores "Guilty"
Fancypants: "Guilty!"
Diamond Tiara: Guilty! "
To those phrases Jacopo stepped forward and made "I do not think there is any doubt! The defendant is guilty now it is up to the judge to determine the punishment that can be exile, imprisonment for life, cutting the horn, forced labor or capital punishment! "
At that moment, Luna spoke: "Then I wonder what Trixie is doomed to learn magic to the end, and then be left to go around our beautiful land of Equestria free and happy and will do so by studying under color that embody the elements of 'harmony! "
"What you have said will be done! My job is finished! "Said that the young man took off his helmet and at the very moment in which the sun's rays hit him he started to smoke while the armor pieces fell to the ground.
"This was my goal! See if the cruel Nightmare Moon was gone and now I have completed my mission I can access the room of Valhalla! "
So before the eyes of all he raised his head towards the sky and smiling did
"Here there I see my father, that there I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers, here there I see all my dead relatives, from beginning to end. There, now they call me, invite me to take place among them in the hall of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever! "
finished speaking, he was transformed into a cloud of smoke that enveloped the little filly of the Moon began to shine while the armor turned into a chariot to the voice of James resonate for the last time:
"Now Luna is again the one who bears and administers the night to help you relax and enjoy the day! Bring them the same respect that we brought to Celestia or wendom back! "
So the deity was absorbed by Luna, who declared:
"Princess Luna We declare that from now on we will help our sister to rule Equestria forever in memory of James!"
With these words the princess spread all the energy finishing the work of reconstruction of the city.
Finish.
