I had been flying for quite a while when I reached a majestic city with an enchanting palace. I alighted, stumbling along the ground. Since my flying was terrible, I likely contributed to my ladning skills. I could worry about this later though. Quickly hurrying through the empty streets, I eventually arrived at the palace's steps. "Think, Think Think!" I murmured. I had forgotten the name of the Princess. "Ah, was it Celestial? Wait, Celestia! That's it! Her sister was.. Luna? Yes, that's it." I murmured. "Lovely, this is driving me to insanity! I'm talking to myself!" I thought. I sat for a moment, but then, A dark blue-ish pony was using a telescope and looking at the moon. "This must be Luna." I thought. Luna turned and noticed me. "What is thou doing at this time of the night?" Luna asked. "I-I needed to speak with you and Celestia" I stammered, my heart fluttering. "For what? Is there something wrong?" she asked. She seemed friendly enough. "Yes, but I would prefer we not discuss it in public." I said, beginning to regain some of the lost confidence I had. "Okay, come into the castle, we will speak of the troubles." Luna said, opening the two huge main doors. I walked in carefully and quietly. "Luna, have you brought in a guest? At this time of night?" Said a white alicorn, who had been writing something in a nearby room. "Yes, sister, she has something important she must discuss with us." Luna said, guiding me with a gentle hoof into the room. "Shouldn't you have been asleep at this time as well?" Luna said. "Yes, but you heard the-" She stopped short when she noticed what I looked like. "You. You are the one from the prophecy." Celestia said, her tone suddenly becoming a tad colder. "You are the one destined to bring Equestria down into ruins, you came from the alter-universe. You, you had the ability to break the fabrics of space and time. I have half a mind to take you and lock you away now, but I might want to hear what you have to say first." Celestia said, her tone growing icier.

After I told her all I went through, she nodded a few times. "Guards!" She called. "This is the pony who will make Equestria fall in ruins, you must not let her escape, take her to the dungeons!" She said. Luna looked at me with look at said "I'm sorry, but it is meant to be." Two guards came forward, each one grabbing my arm and pulling me away. I beat my wings furiously, eventually adjusting myself so feathers hit them both in the eyes and they were blinded momentarily. They reached their hooves to wipe it off, but let me go to do so. "See ya around, ladies!" I called to anger them further. What I didn't know was that Celestia was prepared. Four pegasus guards took off after me, closing in  on me as I went further from the castle. Then Celestia herself burst out from the castle doors and took off after me as well.
