Awakening & Arival

On the highest mountain in Equestria stands a dark looming stone statue of a fearsome unicorn. Its face permanently stained with the mixture of sadness and hate. The eyes permanently locked on the moon, forever watching, waiting for her return....Nightmare Moon.

The statue that was forever lost in its gaze, was that of nightmares secret hidden love. The Stallion she secretly cared for, the one she would have ruled with, the one to be her husband. They would have ruled together with an iron hoof, if not for that fateful day. The day she fell from power. The day both of them lost one another.

The image of the mare that once laid its shape on the moon was gone and now it stood time, the time had come. His time was now, but there in it lies his greatest challenge. What would the ages bring him, what would the new world offer him? The most important thing is would his lover remember him, would she still love him? Could his heart handle the changes of this new world filled with new ponies. Everypony he once knew was gone, only him and his memories remain.

The solid stone statue of the Stallion begins the crack revealing the evil light seeping through. The mixture of green, black and violet becoming more intense, tearing off the stone from flesh, showing the stallions mark of a ritualistic black heart. The stone soon reveals his body, large and intimidating, fur a mixture of black, under the armor of the high royal guard to nightmare, a mane of silver with ends as black as night . Soon it spreads to his face, his cracked horn becomes free, the tears flow once more from his eyes a bright violet , teeth gnashing. He soon take in a deep breath of this new world, then in a booming voice he screams with great dismay.

NIGHTMARE!!!

He pauses letting the rest of his tears dry and cease to flow, he sniffs his nose and looks down to a black diamond encrusted ring hanging around his neck by a sliver chain with a heart shaped locket, then he glances at the moon once more.

NIGHTMARE I HAVE COME BACK FOR YOU! I WILL FIND YOU! I WILL FIND YOU MY LOVELY BRIDE, YOU WILL BE MINE ONCE MORE!

He turns and begins to walk away from his resting place, stretching his legs, his strength returns and his magic. A final tear drips from his face, as it hits the ground it grows a blacked rose. His hooves burn the ground, leaving their imprint.

Soon..., he quietly says, Soon well be together again, and we will rule once more...

He begins his journey down his mountain, down to the rest of this new world...

In her bed, Princess Luna awakes in her bed gasping for air, as she feels a sudden shiver crawl up her spine. Unknowing what is going on in her head and in her heart.

What's this feeling, why do i suddenly feel So? So? Worried? So sadden? Why am i feeling this way, what could this be?

She looks towards the moon, then at a large hourglass across her room.

It will be morning soon

She sighs, and lays down once more...

I raise the moon to bring the gentle night. Celestia will soon raise the sun to a new day. This cycle will continue as it always has, i feel so content being back, yet so empty...

She takes a deep breath and sighs of relief.

Best not to worry, lest things go astray.

Luna closes her eyes, and returns to her slumber, entering the dream world. just as soon as she enter the sudden image of the stallion flashes before here, she awake in fear, gasping for air once more.

Who-- Wha-- What did i just see?

She sighs in worry gets out of bed and enters her bathroom to wash her face, she proceeds back to bed . She begins to lay back down. She turns her head and looks at the moon once again, then she begins to slumber, feeling a worried deep inside her...

Morning had come and Luna drowsily gets out of her lustrous bed and steadily walks into her extravagant bathroom. Luna washes her face in her sink, then proceeds to walk to the bathtub, she begins to run warm water into it. As she does she begins to ponder of what she saw.the feeling of emptiness begins to grow in her more, a slight curiosity as well.

Why? She worriedly speaks, Why do you seen so familiar? Why do you scare me so?

She gently gets into her bath, and does a sigh of relief, she looks out her bathroom window to all of Equestria and then down to Ponyville.

Hmmm...

At the bottom of the mountain the Stallion had come across a dirt road. He examines it with great curiosity. His ears twitch , the sound of a wagon coming by. The Stallion hides himself in the bush to not bring attention to his fearsome stature. His eyes peering through the shadows watching carefully watching the passing wagon being pulled by a young colt. Being interested in where he was going the stallion follows.

The Stallion ponders to himself, How quaint...

At the end of the long road the Stallion stops and cautiously moves toward a sign in front of him. Inscribed on the sign are the words: "Welcome to Ponyville"

Ponyville ?? Seems quit interesting. hmmm...

The Stallion thinks, if he were to blend in to this new place he would have to look less threatening. Using what little magic he can muster up he changes his appearance from a fearsome black Stallion to a small light gray colt. His mane and tail both turn solid white. His armor disperses , while his eyes remain their violet color, his "cutie mark" , a ritualistic heart shape, goes forward unchanged. The chain around his neck stays around him, he looks at the ground then to the sign. He moves forward, one hoof at at time. Approaching the entrance to Ponyville he pauses, looking at this strange new place he sees. He gulps, and sets one hoof in the pleasant little town. His journey for his lovely bride, nightmare moon, has just began...
