Chapter 10: Fear/Master plan

Previous Chapter

The ponies of equstria was scared, all the rumors was true, speculations was all the talk, the sun hasn’t come up as the land is covered in darkness. Luna herself is unsure what to do this was troubling. Pinkie was missing, the main six was split and shy new friends was mad, extremely angry. All this was going great like a master plan that Nightmare moon has planned. She made the old royal castle her base of operation. She needed to raise an army to fight for her, this was huge as she could go about this differently, but she was going to use this war as a distraction.

Celestia was trying to figure this all out, how would this end. Twilight was stressed with pinkie missing, rainbow wanting to go to war, applejack scared for her sister as with rarity the same, and fluttershy trying to avoid war. All this was tearing bonds apart if not testing them. Luna felt useless, she could not command the moon and she need to find a way to connect with this mare who desperately needs the help, before she falls to Nightmare moon grasp. All this was sudden, how did she hide for so long and what about this mare, shy, why her?

Shy has been the outcast but how well this affect the outcome. Shy wanted to be kind but her eyes now dark, and her heart dark its failure for her. Everything she does failure, and fillyshy leaving was the last straw as she just gave in. but this was new, power, comfort or an illusion., but whatever it was she did not feel alone, scared, or helpless. She was excited and as this unraveled she enjoyed it. The castle was changed no longer in ruins, and to the surprise of others, ponies went to join the Nightmare forces this was boiling up.

Cold winter fast approaches, as we fearfully wait, the simplest of simple creatures, bound by the laws of fate, as we shivered in the gutters, far away from home, we lost the last vestige of hope, freezing and alone. A shadow came to us in our dreams, with tales of better times, the true Princess of the Night forgave us for our crimes and as the Royal Sisters overlooked us, nocturnal we became, We bear a darker armor, and we carried a different flame

A voice shouted out “You now belong to a greater good, and you answer to a higher call! You are part of the best and greatest, and there is no room for failure! You will leave behind all weakness! You are no longer a mortal! You are an indestructible Soldier of the Night!”

The moonlight shines across the land, a calling they obey, the purest black of shadows rise to fight a greater fight as my brothers and sisters move as one, we Soldiers of the Night. They saw her moonlit eyes, a fury held at bay a battle waiting in the ashes, to resume another day, as they disappear into the shadows, they filled their souls with dread, and they will fight tonight to rule tomorrow, and the dark day’s lies ahead. All of this, was building so within a few nights she had her army, but held them at bay waiting, planning, and placing her pieces down one by one.

Everything was going as Nightmare Moon planned, exactly the pace of the building, timing and she was not done by far, she was only just beginning are hostile takeover. And now shy had people who bowed to her and did not dare disobey, hurt, crush, or try to harm her. They was loyal as Nightmare Moon whispered in her ear. “This is true friendship, look at them, not disagreeing with you, and I’m here for you, your like my child and I shall protect thy from others.”

Shy looked at them, felt safe warm and somehow happy, could this be real and what about her friends who showed her kindness and she killed…her first friend…a sister…but nightmare moon reminded her she left her, and hurt her greatly, she was not a true friend but just was using shy for personal gain. This made shy head hurt as she started to tear up, the tears streaming down her face and dropping the droplets on her hoof and in front of her hoof. She was heartbroken, filly left her, after saying she wouldn’t, so shy went to her chambers to rest as she needed it. She wanted to forget the memory of Fillyshy, as she screamed in her pillow and Nightmare Moon power making the castle shake and her soldiers scared and feeling bad for her, as now there determined to serve their new ruler.
