I miss my friend...my Mistress. If only Celestia hadn't taken her away from me. If only it wasn't for the elements.

I miss my friend...my Mistress.
We spend so much time together. We were their for each other. Until Celestia sent her to the moon. I was their for her the whole time. We planned for revenge but to only have it fail. My Mistress...is no longer. Now she is just Luna.
But she is not gone.

I continue to look at the portal in front of me. The portal followed the life of an Alicorn. An Alicorn named Night...Luna. I was watching this as it was the only thing I could do here in Tartarus. I used to be able to go where ever I pleased...until.

Celestia. She was the one who sent me here. A place where there is no life or death.

Every day since then I would wake to see the two chains holding my arms. One for each. Only to then watch the portal and sleep afterwords. She kept me in here and left me this portal to view my ex Mistress. To remind me what I have done.

I miss my Mistress...Nightmare Moon. We only had each other. We were always there for each other. Mostly I was there for her. I was her only friend while she was mine as well. I remember the days we spent like it was yesterday.

Like the time she needed me the most.


I follow the sound of crying and rage until I reach my destination. There I saw my Mistress. She was laying on the cold Mooney surface. Crying her heart out. I went over to her and sat beside her. She didn't notice me.

I gently tap her right wing.

She quickly spins her head around to look at me. I saw how her eyes were blood shot and full of tears. "Is it really you?" I hear her whisper. I nod only to have then been pull into a hug. I didn't fight back like I usually do when somepony hugs me. She needed me right now.

I warp my arms around her as she cried. I felt the tears rolling down my chest.

After a while of crying she looks up at me. "Why are you here?" She asked while gripping me tighter.

"Because..." I began to speak. "You are my friend...my only friend. We promised to be their for each other. No matter what! With that promise I follow. Until the end of my days. You were their for me, ever since we met. Now it is my time to return the favour. I shall always be there for you."

My Mistress had proceeds to stop crying but still hugs me tightly. "But what if you can't?" Her eyes were starting to fill with tears again.

"I made a promise. A promise which is hard to keep. I shall always try my best to be there for you but if I can't be with you physically. I will be there for you emotionally."

"How?" She ask.

"In your heart." I say while pointing at her chest.

Her muzzle slowly grew into a smile. She then hugs me tighter. Great!


I stayed with her on the moon as best as I could. However with all the Magic and Dark magic I knew, I couldn't stay on the moon everyday but I tired my best. I made her smile. I made her laugh. I helped her through this hard time for her.

When the time came for her to soon escape. We planned our revenge. If we only had succeeded in our plans.


"What are you doing here!" Celestia shouts.

I stop gazing at the doors to return my sights to Celestia. I had put a spell on the door. The spell was to not let anyone in and not let any sound out. "My Celestia...what has gotten you in such a mood?" A smile sneaks it's way across my face.

She was about to speak when I suddenly grip her with magic to then fling her across the room. She rolls across the floor but manage to catch her landing. "How dare you!"


How that battle went on for a whole day without anyone knowing. What a day! Our plan had worked as it got the day by and soon the stars would set my Mistress free.

I had manage to stop Celestia trying anything funny for the hole day. Which wasn't easy but my Mistress had taught me well.

If only hope and luck stayed on my side.


I jump into the shadows as Celestia calls out for me.

That's when we hear it. Turning out gaze to the window then towards the Moon. We watch as the stars in a line gave out a bright shine. Covering the Moon. Only to have it go away. However the mark of my Mistress was no longer there. I couldn't stop myself smiling.

Which only lasted for a few seconds.

I was suddenly grab out of my shadow and pulled near Celestia. "What have you done!" She flings me across the room. I got myself together and looked at Celestia. She was not happy. "You give me no choice!" Her horn starts to glow.

Out of no where a portal opens behind me. I looked back only to wish I didn't . That portal was the portal used to send things into the land of no life or death. Tartarus. I was about to move a way when two chains flew out and latch themselves onto my arm. I cried out in pain as the hot chains sizzles onto my skin. I saw only darkness as I couldn't keep my eyes open.

"NO!" A voice cried. I hear something smash, followed by a gasp. Which was then followed by the sounds of spells being fired. Only to end to a sound of something falling.

I hear hooves running towards me. I then felt something bring me into a hug. I manage to open my eyes to see none other than Nightmare Moon hugging me. "No! Please don't leave me!" She cries. She lets me go and tires to break the chains only to fail. "You can't leave me!" Now her eyes were looking straight at mine.

"D-" The pain made it hard to speak. "Don't...worry. Just finish...what we planned."

She tires to respond only to have her words stuck in her throat.

"Remember...I shall always be with you." I nod towards her chest.

She tires to hug me but to only grab nothing. I had flew backwards into the portal while hearing my Mistress cry out.


That's is how I ended up here. In this place.

Helpless as my powers were reduce to barely anything. I could only watch as my Mistress failed in her plan and be turn into...Luna. My Mistress...My friend. What hurt me the most was that she seemed to forget about me after being hit with the elements. She was taken from me.

Just like that.

...I must have gone mad to talk about myself like this. Like I'm in a story!

Mite as well do it from time to time. As I haven't got much else to do.


Time went by as I could only stay helpless.

However today was interesting. A villain named King Sombra was back. I watched it all from Luna's point of view.

Sombra failed in his mission and was defeated.

I sigh and look away. Lucky elements.

I went to sleep as I didn't want to see the ponies going crazy over beating Sombra. It didn't take long for sleep to hit me.


*Whack!*

"Ow!" I shout as I awake from my slumber. What dared to wake me up? Better not be Cerberus wanting a tummy rub...again. I look around to notice something small and red followed with a hint of grey at the bottom. I barely reach it and pull it closer. Wait...have I seen this before?

A smile was slap onto my face.

Indeed I did.

That's is when I felt something.

The horn...it had something.

After a search within the horn. I knew what it was. It was just what I need.

Inside was a soul.

A soul of evil.

A soul I could use to escape.
