Darkness Runs Deep
Twilight laughed. He walked right into that. She thought with a laugh. Twilight Shade was looking was looking at Sombra’s corpse, it was still had all of the dark magic that it’s owner had. It didn’t seem possible. Dark Magic used emotion, there was no emotion once you're dead. It must be in his crown, Twilight thought as she lifted it off his head. A dark hum filled the air as the crown started become solid black. Twilight looked at it with a mix of confusion and fascination, To think that an idiot like Sombra had the power to cast such powerful enchantments, she thought as the crown began to change shape.
The queen of darkness screamed as the crown, now taking the shape of a snake, attached itself to her. It felt like her entire body was on fire. Her entire body began to convulse with the amount of foreign magic entering her system. The snake moved to her neck, starting to choke her. Draining her life.
Except it wasn’t. She wasn’t dying. In fact, the hard the snake squeezed, the more alive she felt. When it should have been killing her, it was instead filling her with more power than any sane pony would deem safe. Luckily for Twilight, she wasn’t sane.
Twilight took a deep breath and summoned a mirror to find out what happened. She was amazed. Her body was so much stronger than before that is was almost intoxicating. Her wings were now dragon like, the scales glowing a dark green. Where there used to be crystals, there were now scales. Forming in a random pattern that gave her that appearance of a hybrid between the two races. Her armor was intact, but her shoes were a different matter. Scales now formed a shoe instead of a black metal. her hooves in the shape of a shoe, glistening black. Her tail was no longer made of fire, instead, it was the tail of a bat that layed on her back. With small cracks letting green lava leak out from time to time.
Twilight was amazed, why would Sombra leave a spell to activate only after he died. Then it all made sense, Sombra didn’t care about his own life. He cared about dark magic continuing. So he made a spell that would infect the nearest person with dark magic, but because she already had dark magic, it just made it stronger. Well then, time to see if dark magic is as strong as he said it was, let’s see if it works, on the princess of the night. Twilight thought as she went to sleep. A smile on her face.
Princess Luna was enjoying her night. She always enjoyed looking up at the stars, remembering when and where she made them, but alas, this could not last forever. After all, she had to watch over everypony’s dreams. Luna sat down and began to cast her spell. She smiled as the castle of dreams formed around her. It’s walls were different every time. This time they resembled Twilight’s castle. It’s crystals lining the walls. Luna looked through the different hall ways. Overseeing their dreams.
That was, until she saw Twilight’s it was of Sombra. Luna gasped as she jetted towards it, trying to save her from the mind games that Sombra was going to use. Only as she entered the dream did she finally realize that these were memories, not dreams.
“Thankyou for joining me, Luna,” Twilight said as walked over to the night princess. “I think you know what I want.”
“Yes,” She said as she closed her eyes. When she reopened them, they were glowing. "You want Equestria. Like every self important, dark, and downright evil piece of nothingness before you. I had respect for Twilight, now it is gone,” she boomed out in the royal canterlot voice. Hate burning in her eyes.
“While you may be right, that is not why I called you here. I invited you here so that you could join me, not to oppress ponykind, no, I want to save them from all that would harm them, the changelings being the primary thing that comes to mind,” Twilight said in a calm voice, a least one of them had to stay calm, or they would start fighting.
“Fair enough,” Luna said in a calmer voice. “But the ends do not justify the means, I could end hate be killing everyone.”
“Do you propose a different method, yours didn’t work, I would know,” Twilight said as she walked to the other side of Luna.
“No I don’t,” Luna said with a cautious tone. She wasn’t quite sure what she was up to.
“And you agree that helping pony kind is a worthy goal,” Luna nodded. “Then it makes sense to help me.” Luna kinda just sat there, not exactly in a daze, but definitely not in reality. After a long moment, she shook her head.
“What would you have me do?” Luna asked with a skeptical gaze.
“Become subservient to me, use dark magic, and help in battle,” Twilight said, hoping her logic would get though to Luna.
Luna was in deep thought. Twilight could tell be how, no matter what she did, Luna did not move. The queen of darkness was slightly amused to see Luna consider her points. She still has some dark magic in her Twilight noted as she activated her horn, focusing on that tiny scrap of darkness.
As Twilight casted her magic. The dark magic in Luna started to grow. It was clear that Luna thought that she was right, so this was going to happen anyway. As the darkness grew, black lightning started to flicker around her. Her coat darkened, becoming black. Blood red crystals crawled up her legs. Forming armor. The lightning around her was violent now, striking the ground. Her teeth sharpened Her flowing mane and tail stained red with the stars being pure black. Luna’s eyes were completely different, they became cat like slits. Her iris’ were red with trails of black flowing out of her eyes. Her crown fell on to the ground and broke. Signaling the end of the transformation of Twilight’s first servant.
“You now serve me now, slave,” Twilight said as she walked over to former princess. She bowed.
“Of course,” she responded. Receiving a twisted smile from her queen.
