The past coming back

Shining Armor banged his hoof down onto the table where The Royal Sisters sat, as well as His Wife,Sister, and her friends.

" I am not going to go down with out a fight! Queen Chrysalis is still out there, and she might come back. And I intend to stop her before she has the chance." He said rage consuming him.

" Darling please sit down, have some tea it will calm you." Cadence said reassuring her in-raged husband.

Princess Luna herself got up calmly and secure gesturing to the couple.

" Though we were not there, we hath felt the blast of Love energy. I knoweth that the Changelings art gone for now. And you as a caption of the Royal Guard should knoweth better than anyone, to only fight at which hour one has been threatened. one not go searching for a fight, because an army will findeth thee. Rest assured that if it be true that they do cometh back, we wilt fight. Until then we see no reason to start a fight." Luna said in a calm tone, that still demanded respect.

" And how do we know you didn't help Chrysalis, you said it your self you weren't there. During the Wedding or after! And you already have a dark history!" Shining said rising on his hind legs.

Princess Luna shot a blast of light from her horn, shoving Shining across the room.

" Young Prince, I can handle being disrespected from others. But no one my Young Prince accuses us of working with such evil, doest thou understandeth?" She said in a soft eerie whisper, standing over the Young Stallion. Everyone in the room could have sworn, his coat was even paler than before.

" Now if you will excuse us, we have other things we needeth to attend to. Farewell young Prince, and remember to think about what we hath said." With that she walked out the door leaving the others to settle his outburst.


White spots filled Luna's vision as she walked down a corridor, she stopped and shook her head. When suddenly, the white spots were filled with images of a White mare with a cyan mane and tail, as well as Blueish-green eyes. She was running across an crystal floor, sliding across with her magic, as she made icy butterfly's help her glide across like ice.

" No! How do I get out of this, ugh!" She said panic filling her voice. Luna used her magic to bring herself out of the vision. She had teleported to her chambers, and noticed tears were blocking her vision. She quickly wiped them away, and practiced that new breathing technique Cadence taught her. The tears didn't stop, however they just kept flowing.


" I-I-I, I didn't mean to upset her, I just-" Shining Armor started.
" You lost control of your emotions, and lashed out in anger at the first pony you saw. Which in this case was Princess Luna." Twilight said, knowing exactly where her B.B.B.F.F was going.

" Took the words right out of my mouth. Princess Celestia, I am sorry I know better than to act like a foal, especially to one of the ones I have sworn on my life to protect." Shining said lowering his ears and head in shame.
" It is fine Shining Armor, Trust me I understand what it is like being an outlet for anger such as yours." Celestia said, her eyes dimming in sadness.

" Hey! I see frowns, and I can't have anyone having frowns. When I can turn those frowns upside down!" Pinkie Pie said appearing with a massive cake bigger than that of Big Mac.
" Haha, Well I can't say no to a good slice of cake." Celestia giggled


Twilight pulled Shining away from the crowd,
" Now would be a good time to sneak away and apologize to the Princess." she said with a smile
" Your right Twiliy, thanks for understanding." He said as he pulled his little sister into a hug and slowly left out of the room.


Shining Armor stopped in front of Princess Luna's room, he raised his hoof to knock when he heard noises. He pressed his ear to the door to hear the sounds.

" No, please stop, No No, NOO!! Stop it PLEASE!!! " Shining Armor jumped as he lit his horn, and teleported into the meeting room,
" Princess Luna's in trouble!" He said panic filling his very soul.
" Well then lets get a move on!" The Cyan pegasus Rainbow Dash said as she took the air and flew down the hallway, faster than the speed of light. until she zoomed back,
" Umm, where is she?"


" UGH! STOP PLEASE LET ME HAVE SOME PEACE!" Luna said booming in the Royal Canterlot voice.
" Luna, Luna?" Celestia called, No response.
" What could have caused this!?" Twilight asked her wondering what was happening to Princess Luna, one side of her wanted to burst into the room. While the other side wanted to stay and see if she was ok before barging in.

" Uh,uh. S-s-sister? Art though there?" Luna said, breaking her words.
" Yes Luna, I'm here. Were all here." Celestia said worry slipping through her normal steady tone.
" Princess I am very sorry for upsetting you, I just lost-" Shining started before getting cut of.
" You lost your self in your anger young Prince, Trust us we understand. If we thought though were true in thy words, you would have faced a very angry Princess." She chuckled at the thought.

" But surely I upset you." Shining Armor said confusion tinting his words.
" No, Young Prince though has done no crime. It was simply something we had thought long casted from our memories that upset us." she said looking down, her eyes watering. She knew none of the others could she her, so she let silent tears fall.
" Now I am feeling quite tired,we believe we should get some rest. Today has been quite long for us." she said hoping to get them away from her door.

" A-are you sure sister? I can-" Celestia started
" Yes, sister I am quite sure. we can handle these..." she gulped. " These memories for now, should we needeth your help we shall call for you if though art needed."


When she knew that they were gone, she then unlocked a drawer that had a small portrait of the white mare she had seen before. Her and Luna holding each other in a hugging pose.
" Our dearest friend, why dost though come back to us now. We shall miss you, for all of Eternity. She said a tear dropping on the glass on the frame, she had hidden away from prying eyes for over one-thousand years.

The Truth

This is the truth...Everything you have known about the Princess of the Night is wrong...Right down to the very legend of Nightmare moon, It all started over a thousand years. This is the true story of Nightmare Moon, as well as others... Luna's story is not the only one that was twisted and warped to fit the hero's thoughts and actions...Several others have been separated from the truth..After all.... There are only two who know the truth about history. The victor, and the loser of the fight. And it is time everyone learns the truth of that of the Mare in the Moon, The Queen of the Bugs...I mean the Queen of the Changelings, The King of Darkness and Shadows, & even the truth about the Lord of Chaos..This is their stories....their Shadowed Pasts.....

There story's are not all you think... There wasn't always Jealousy in Luna's heart, nor was King Sombra's Black as night. The Queen of the Changelings was not always a Love stealing Queen, and Chaos didn't always Rain supreme reme. No indeed. Many tales have been spun to perfectand disarm these tales. but perhaps the truth lies within even something so bright it casts Shadows in it's secrets. Think about it, the victor of these Villains tales, the one who shut them all down. Would be the one to twist and warp the tales, perhaps she did not want everyone to know the truth. Then again perhaps she did not want everyone to know what twists and turns lie within the true tales. Can one of light pull the darkness out of a truth?

Papillons (P.O.V)

I walked through the center of the town, the Bright green grass crunching under my hooves as the Warm heat from the ever blinding sun shone down on me. The warmth was nice as I stopped in my tracks lifting my head up and feeling the cool gentle breeze, It was a wonderful day one of the best yet. I smiled in my still state trying to enjoy what little pleasures the world gives us. Lulu always called me a hippie because I see the good in everyone and everything. Lu was always one to take action, but on the inside she is really a calm and gentle spirit, not matter what her sister says. I exhaled, just thinking about my friend and her sister was making me slightly tense. Lu has always has a Strong spirit but her sister just wants her to be just like her... Perfect. It isn't fair. But.. I should just let it play out. Luna wouldn't hurt a parasprite, no matter how annoying they are. She would never hurt her own sister, at least I hope so... I open my eyes to the wonderful scene around me, Filly's and colts laughing and playing. It was so cute.. Luna would enjoy it, that is.. if this was at night. It was wrong that no one payed respect to her. They never care... But why should I worry. I walk over to the young filly's and colts, lighting my horn with a playful smile. They looked up at me, even one colt giving me a small bow. I smiled warmly telling him there was no need. I waved my horn, Ice forming over the small lake the crystal blue shimmering of never melting magical ice. I laughed, putting on my skates. teleporting on the Ice as I take deep breaths as the Foals gathered around in amazement. They has seen my Ice show many times. But they never stopped watching. It was wonderful that these young minds would one day make this world even better. I flapped my butterfly thin wings, the icy teal color sparkling in the Sun's rays. I smiles at the young Foals and they smiled back, one small filly trying to get a better look as I started moving on the ice.


I twirled and danced on the ice, amazing the small Foals with the performance as I continued with my dance. My Turquoise mane blowing behind me as I light my horn during a twirl in the air, making snow flakes swirl around me before swirling around the Foals. I stop my performance, feeling slightly tired but filled with joy from helping entertain the young Foals. I skid over to the side, opening the gate to allow the children to enter the Ice rink letting them play. I smile feeling nice and warm inside as I look to the mountains, seeing the sun still shining brightly. I look back to the filly's and colt. One little colt asking a young mare to Dance with him as she blushed nodding her head. Young love.. a wonderful thing.. Funny. But wonderful. I closed my eyes enjoying the nice warm breeze of this warm spring afternoon, until I heard a voice. Clean and sharp, I knew I was going to have to deal with him sooner or later. I had just wished it would be the latter. I turned around, the grass crunching beneath my hooves. I was going to have to deal with him anyway, due to our treaty. I just wish I could have five seconds of peace.


I looked at taking in his features. He was a fit stallion, tall dark and Handsome most would say. His coat was a soft grey, though his suit covered most of his chest. He had on a stunning black tux with a green bow, the same color as his eyes. As I looked into them, almost getting lost in the sea of dark Green. I blinked snapping my self out of it as I took in his mane color. A Deep limeish green color that looked well with the rest of his masquerade. I looked him in the eyes once more, trying to see what lies of deceit lied in those dark colors. But saw nothing. He was very creative in his appearance as he lifted my hoof from the ground gently, kissing it softly. His warm lips staying on my hoof longer than I would have liked. But he was always a gentlecolt, and took pride in it. He stared into my crystal blue eyes giving me a dashing smile, as his eyes glowed a slight green glow. I knew what he was doing, but I couldn't stop him as his spell washed over my mind. I cursed myself for falling in that trap again, would I ever escape him and his deal!? Most likely not. If I knew anything about him, he was persistent. As he took him warm inf in mine, leading me off to his carriage. To others it would look like a Dashing stallion taking his Marefriend to a nice dinner or a movie. But even though I was in a trance. I knew what he was planning, in a way. No.. not really. I was stuck in his web, and there was no way to get out at the moment. All I had to do was play nice and keep my focus on getting rid of this spell. Until then. Who knows...


Hours had to have passed by the time we got to our location. I looked up at the dark palace, the twists and turns just as I remember them in the dark castle. Gloomy dark ominous clouds covered the sky. It was Dusk, the sun was setting and the moon would be up soon. I just hoped Lulu wouldn't worry. I felt his hoof on my shoulder as he walked in front of me, staring into my eyes and lifting the spell. The green quickly faded away as I shook my head, trying to clear everything up. He put his hoof under my chin and looked me in the eyes smirking. I looked back glaring, I should slap you right now. I continued glaring at him as his appearance changed. A ring of Green fire surrounded him as his true form showed through. His mane was now a deep tourquste a deeper shade than mine, his coat was now a very dark grey almost black, his eyes changed having a slit draconic pupil instead of his soft green eyes I saw earlyer. his suit still remained on his form though, the holes in his legs coverd up by the soft fabric. This was the Changeling King.

Shatterd

View Online

The King of monsters and Shasows had returned and been defeated. Shattered by the light and love of the Crystal Heart, powered by Princess Candence and the now free slaves of the Crystal kingdom. And while everyone celebrated one in particular was in mourning and in a state of anger. Princess Luna stood before the element's of harmony, Princess Celestia, and the new rulers of the crystal empire. " What in Tartarus where you thinking!? You shattered him in pieces!" The Princess of the night yelled in the royal Canterlot voice. "It wasn't out fault! We had no idea the Heart would do that!" Twilight pointed out. " She's right Luna there was no-" Princess Celestia started before she was interrupted by her younger sister, " Stay out of this Tia! You know as well as I do that when a Umbrum is hit by the light of the heart they are..." She took a breath and closed her eyes that were full of remorce. " They are destroyed." She finished. She took about her breath and glared at Twilight rage filling them, " And if you had read the full text of the heart instead of skimming it you would know this!" Twilight gulped and looked Luna in the eyes. " There was a page ripped out, I wasn't able to read the full text." She said speaking calmly. " Of course he tore the page out..." Luna mumbeled under her breath. When everyone looked at her her rage returned, it seemed to be a never ending pattern. One that Princess Celestia had seen once before, a thousand years ago before she sent Luna to the moon. Luna then turned her gaze back to the young mare that represented magic. " I would have thought Ms. Twilight that as a Mage in magic you would know better than to use artafacts without knowing what they could do! " She yelled making Twilight shrink back, " You do realize that you have Murdered some pony!" She kept pushing until Twilight was almost in tears before another voice spoke up, " Why do you care!? He was a villain and he inslaved an Empire! You should be patting her on the back!" Rainbow Dash yelled back, sick of the way she was treating her friend. Luna turned sharply to Rainbow. She glared at the Cyan pegasus. " I was not taking to you Ms. Dash now was I!?" She yelled her tone slightly sharper than normal than normal. " And as far as your statement on my alegence you, as the element of Loyalty should be able to tell where I stand. I just think that someone as bright as Ms. Spakle should know better than to use an artifact that she knew Nothing about!" She said as her eyes flashed, her pupils narrowing and the whites of her eye's turning a slight teal in the height of her anger. Her sister saw this and spoke up once more trying to get Luna to calm down before something happened. "Luna, I think you should calm down, this isn't like you. You need to calm yourself before you make... a mistake." Celestia spoke in her normal calm tone dispite her fear of her sister turning back into the demon she once was. Luna on the other hoof could not calm down. Her blood was hot. She was furious and heartbroken, and not even her sister's calming words could calm her down at this point. Luna's ear twitched as her anger fueled, even her own sister was turning against her! Then her mind flashed back to something from long ago. A young Stallion laying in the grass next to her, wrapping her in a embrace as he slowly smothed her mane back whispering kind and calming words. Her heart skipped a beat. She did exactly what the Stallion asked her, take deep breaths and think about her favorite things. She was calm. She was called back into the real world and her appearance returned to normal. The whole room was silent and Twilight looked frightened of her as well as Rainbow, but fear did not cover her, anger did. " Forgive my outburst, I was in the wrong. I shall leave you now to chat among yourselves. In such time when you can forgive me and I am calmed from the fires of my anger I will come back. Ms.Sparkle I expesilly appologize to you, I was in no way right in my actions." She looked at her sister once more with remorse. " And my apologies to you sister, please for give me." She said as she bowed slightly to her sister, a royal signature apology. " Sister you know there is no need for you to use that these days." Celestia said smiling at her sisters out dated formality. Then another voice cut through the room " Yeah I'm sorry too I shouldn't have been so rude Princess." Rainbow said rubbing her arm with her hoof. Luna smilied and nodded at Rainbow. "Um, can I speak without getting chewed at?" Shining Armor asked remembering the last time he had spoken out of term to the Princess. Luna laughed and put a hoof to her mouth to stifle her laughing fit. " Yes young Prince you may." She said in a calmer voice than she had used this whole time.Everyone was slightly confused but they laughed anyway. Soon everyone was too busy to notice Luna slip away to the glass windows. She stood in front of the one that held Sombra's fate and she put her hoof up to the glass. He was gone. He was dead. He would never come back. She closed her eye's tightly and tried to tell herself this was a good thing. He would torment no more. She tried to ignore the ache in her chest. It was hurting her to even see the glass. " If only I could I have stopped him before it was to late..." She said sorrow filling her voice. Soon the great hall was filled with silence. It seemed to be hours before someone came looking for her. " Your Highness your sister has requiested your presence at dinner." Her guard Iron Sheild said his voice calm and stilll. "Of course, will the others be there as well?" She asked, her heart still aching. " Yes your Highness. They are waiting for you in the Dinining hall." She looked at her favorite guard and replyed, " You know I have told you thousands of time to just call me Luna. " She said trying to lighten the mood. " I am trained to be respectful and Correct when addressing you, Your Higheness. And the Dinner?" Luna sighed and shook her head slightly. " Tell my sister I will be there in a moments time." She said attempting to be alone for a few minutes longer. " Very well your Highness." He said before walking towards the Dineing area. Luna laughed quietly. " I wish they wern't for formal all the time. If they were only like Baris..." She stoped her self cold, she knew that remembering him would only lead to more hurt. And that was something she could not handle right now. She sighed once more looking at the Stainglass window of Sombra's defeat once more and instead of seeing him being shattered to bit's she saw a young Stallion with a pitch black mane, bright ruby red eyes, a pure white coat, and a simple blue cloak on his back, and a simple crystal crown apon his head. A warm smile graced his face as his warm eyes filled with hope and love. She smiled and forced herself to come back to reality before she broke down, again. "Princess?" Iron Shield had come back for her. " I'm ready... Lets go" She said as she walked next to him, walking towards the dining hall to greet her guests and hopefully have their forgiveness.

So a little explanation to how things are going on as far as the formatting goes is there are four chapters to kinda explain what is going on with the 'villain' at the time. And yes there will be time skips. This chapter was Sombra's naturally, and since he is kinda 'dead' at the moment I did a chapter on what Luna's reaction was and kinda show a little bit of the Charector like in the first chapter. So the way this is going to line up is What the villains are doing now/Luna's reaction and then a little peak on what it was like in the past by their perspective. After I have done all the 'Villians' I will go into the story line which will take place a thousand years ago. ( Or the villains story) Remeber this is an AU and will not in anyway be a headcannon. This was just a fun Idea I had. :) So here is a little list to help you cause I can be really confusing at times

The Villians Impact on Luna/ What they are doing

A flashback of the 'villian' in the past

The Crystal Prince:

View Online

I stood on my balcony my armor clinging to my form. Today was the Crystal fair and I was determined to make sure nothing went wrong. The two sisters from the Castle of two sisters were coming as well as the Princess of Ponyville. I had memorized every formal greeting and farewell that there was to make this perfect. I had my head in my books to often my mother would tell me. I didn't have any friends really except my books. I was never really the social one, unlike my brother who was too involved with others and his mare friends ( all 17 of them) to even think about perfecting his royal duties much less reading a book in his spare time. I sighed and took off my helmet, my pitch black mane flowing in the natural cool breeze.

I smiled as I tilted my head back thinking about how wonderful this event was going to be. It was going to be the spectacular, by the time the Princess's left they were going to talk about the empire for weeks. " This will be the greatest festival they've ever-" A loud throat clearing stopped his sentence. " Excuse my your highness, your mother is waiting for you. The Royal sisters arrived a few moments ago." My eyes widened and I didn't even take time to thank the guard before running off the balcony and into the castle. I was going to get killed by my mother, I was supposed to be there when we got there. I gulped in fear, oh how dead I was to be.

When I got to the main doors I quickly did a double take on how my mane looked, I needed to look my best so I could present myself to the two Royal sisters. I opened the door and took a deep breath walking in with a proper stance, my brother and mother were already chatting up the two sisters, when I got into the room everyone stopped and stared and when my eyes glanced over to the two sisters I'm pretty sure my mouth dropped. The white mare which I'm pretty sure was the elder sister Celestia, was so majestic her long legs made it so she towered everyone in the room minus my mother. Her long flowing mane was stunning with colors like the dawn breaking over the snowy mountains of the empire. I looked over to the other princess and I'm pretty sure that my jaw unhinged.

Her dark blue coat, with a mane that looked like the stars in the northern sky stunned me, as well as her piercing teal eyes. This had to be Princess Luna the guardian of the night. And I had just interrupted them. Well horse feathers! I cleared my throat softly and remembered how to speak correctly to royalty. "Excuse mine interruption thy highness, twas duly in correct on mine behalf. If 't be true may thee forgive mine lateness? " I was pretty sure I was sweating as I looked into the royal sisters eyes to try to find comfort, Luna simply smiled and replied, "Of course lief Prince, thee art forgiven twas not that much trouble." Relief must have clouded over my face for my mother simply smiled and tried to hold back a laugh, for being late to such a spectacular occasion I was doing wonderful.

It was hours later after talking to the royal sisters about the treaty's and such that I found myself in my chambers coughing my lungs out it seemed, as it happened every year around this time I would get very ill. I was trying to read my books but the pains in my chest and the never ending coughing prevented me from doing so. Suddenly I heard a quiet knock at my door, I got up and suppressed a cough. When I opened the door it was none other than the Princess of the night herself. She looked at me with a weakened smile and eyes that showed sadness. "if 't be true thee could pr for a moment I wast wondering if 't be true thee would like to cometh for a walketh under the stars " She said quietly but strongly enough that I knew this wasn't the first time she had said this to someone this night. I laughed softly and replied,
"Of course Princess, but if you don't mind could we drop the formality's?" She smiled widely and nodded. Her eyes shone with excitement that I had not seen before, even at the treaty signing. " Just one second Princess I-" I had started to tell her before another coughing fit hit me, this one worse than the last. I tried to keep my head up but I fell to the ground, due to the unbelievable pains in my chest. It hurt like Tartaris. I looked down at my hoof that was covering my mouth, I wish I hadn't when I looked down I saw blood covering my hoof

A Chaotic Week

View Online

Discord, Lord of Chaos and disharmony was unbelievably bored. It had been a while since he had become friends with the Shy pegasus and swore to use his powers for good ( most of the time.) But he was still so bored! He was in his chaotic home sitting normally upside down in his bathtub on the ceiling. He didn't know what to do. He could Torment Twilight. That was always fun. He could always pay the Sisters a visit, or bug Cadence and her husband. But there was nothing he could think of that he hadn't done before. He remembered Twilight saying something about her sister in law coming to visit. Oh the fun he could have with both of them, but how would he pull it off? Then he got a wicked idea. He would pretend he had the blue flu and ruin there trip by making them go to the end of Eqeuestria for a rare tazleworm flower. Then he would give twilight a medallion for her gratitude and their friendship. that would make a wonderful laugh indeed. Then he popped on an illusion charm that made him look blue and set off for the Star swirl exhibit that Twilight was going to go to, why she had such a wonderful Fascination with the old wizard was insane to him. Ever since he could remember he had hated the old creep but he never knew why. Perhaps he had known him a long time ago. "Bah! So he could preform magic, so what!? I have the power over chaos! That old wizard would never be able to stand up to me!" He then gave a partly evil and goofy laugh to close his inspirational speech. He gave himself a look in the mirror and gave his beard a nice sweep before popping out the door and into a tiny glass case.


Everything had worked out so well! Cadence and Twilight's day was ruined and Cadence was exsosted. But his plan had backfired when a giant creature called a Tazzleworm had sneezed on him and made him sick. He hated being sick! He was so useless and weak. He was going to be miserable until Fluttershy came home! Discord just wished that he had planned ahead. Perhaps next time he could- "ACHOO!" Every time he was getting somewhere he sneezed or coughed it was stupid! The Lord of Chaos forced to stay inside a quorentine bubble created by Cadence. But then again that could have left him there at the edge of the world all alone... " Perhaps Fluttershy wasn't the only friend he had... Maybe just maybe Twilight is my friend as well..." The idea came out of his mouth before he could stop it as an agitated Princess walked past him. "Ugh..." she replied going back up to her room.


That night Discord had a dream, not a normal one oh no. This did not have Unicorns, Pegisi, or earth pony's asking him to make the world a wonderful place full of Chocolate rain and cotton candy clouds, no this dream was the strangest by far! It was a dream about a pretty white Unicorn with bright teal/ Cyan mane and bright blue eyes. She sid across the ice with a wonderful grace and passion. She was wonderful and something inside his chaotic heart told him that he knew her. That this mare was his friend, and that she had liked him as a friend and perhaps more. But this was impossible! He had never had a friend before Fluttershy and he has never seen this mare before! In fact the thought made him slightly angry. But he had no idea why.


Every night for a mouth Discord had the same dream about the young and graceful mare. It haunted his every-being. He had recovered form his foiled plan and was back in his own little damnation. But even Chocolate milk and Cotton candy couldn't; get his mind off this. It was so weird. Normally Princess Woona would have helped him, but she never came to the rescue anymore. Ever since King Sombra's defeat the Princess of the night had been quiet and everyone had seen it. The stars were dimmer,and the moon was not as quiet. And while he would not call this dream a Nightmare it still bugged him. It was like he was missing something, something he needed, something he wanted, and something he couldn't have.


Discord woke up in a cold sweat from his latest dream. Fire. Red hot fire burned everything in it's path. Mare;s and Stallions ran with their colts and filly's trying to get away from the fire and ashes. The suffocating ashes, with the air polluted with the dust and smoke. The air was impossible to get any clean oxygen. There was a scream and a shattering of ice as someone trying to put out the fire fell into the never ending cold. "NO!" He had screamed out and tried to run twards the screaming, before a tree covered in flames fell and he was unable to save the mare that had fallen. That was when he had woken up. With a dull pain deep in his cheast, unable to understand why he would dream of such things. He stretched out his limbs and layed back down on his cloud to try to get some more sleep but the scream echoed in his mind like it had been real. He looked at his clock, Midnight on the dot. He suddenly had the brilliant idea to go pay Lulu a visit. But when he arrived in Luna;s chambers his cold stone heart sunk at the sight. Princess Luna was laying on her bed crying softly. But there was an unsettling darkness in the Princess's room. One that he did not like at all. He poofed away and desisted to pay her a visit when she was doing better. Everything was out of order, and not in the good way. First her outburst she had heard about, then King Sombra's demise, and these plaguing dreams. Why was everything going so awful!?
