That night was just too light

I was looking on the moon. It was shiny, too shiny. That made me feel kinda weird. Why is it so shiny? Why is moon lighter than the sun? Is that just my imagination?

I came back to my bed. Was that incident with unicorns just a nightmare? I had too much questions. My head started to hurt. That was annoying. With my head sore and this amount of questions flowing in and out I would never fall asleep again. I got up and I moved myself down the stairs. In the kichen I had some juice. I sat down and I though about my dream. My head was still sore after that amount of questions. I needed to find answers. The only pony which I thought could have an answer was Princess Twilight, but everyone know that she was away for the meeting in Crystal Kingdom. Who else can have answers? Maybe other princesses but will they even have some time to speak with me, a unicorn which puts everyone in a deep fear?
"But, I need to try" That was what I said to myself. "There is nothing bad that can happen with sending a letter, is there?"

Next morning my letter was fit and ready for it's journey. Now the hardest part awaited me. Going to the mail box. I think everypony in town, think that what happend yesterday was just
my fault.
"It's going to be veeeeery hard" That was my first thought, but I didn't really botherd about that, now the most important was to send the letter.
I looked out the window. That was strange.I saw just a few ponies walking around. They never been in such a mood. Althought that was obvious I couldn't really believe that. I saw just Earth ponies what was really weird too. Normally I can see Pegasi swooping through the sky but today I saw none. But it's good, there was a chance that no pony will saw me going to the mail box. I turned to the doors and I made my way to the mail box.

I was bathing in the Celestia's sun on the side of some hill. (Yes, I managed to go through the town without anyone stoping me!) Today, it was especially hot and light. It gave a feeling that nothing can go wrong. But somethink needed to go wrong.


My eyes were closed, I listened to singing birds. This day was beautifull. My letter was taken around two houres ago. Answer should came somewhere at the evening. I felt warmth of sun on my body. Then, shadow appeared. I opened one of my eyes to see who was that.
"Princess!" I jumped straight away when I saw dark blue alicorn in front of me "What can I do for you?" I bowed in front of her, I didn't want to show her my eyes or my cutie mark.
"Why do you hide your eyes when uou speak to us?" That was a question which I didn't want to answer.
"Your Majesty, I..." What could I do? If I will show her my eyes she could became terrified like the other ponies or maybe no...
"It's okey, anyway we need to find a pony called Drakefire, do you know where that pony can be?" Her voice was loud and strong, that's why she is my favourite princess, but why was she looking for me?
"I do, Princess" Why is she in such a hurry? Now I started to fall into hands of fear "That's me, Princess"

I was immediatly taken by her. But she wasn't taking me to the castle in Canterlot. She told me that. We were heading to Ponyville. It was my big chance to see place where Twilight Sparkle and her friends had learned about Friendship. Yeah, I know that because you see I was in my house most of the time so I needed to do something to kill the sense of boredom. So I found some books and newspapers to read. Anyway, I never been so high before,(I never really been flying before) I could see green fields and tranquil streams, high montains and deep volleys, but there was one thing which caught my eye. Right behind one of the mountains was dark cloud which made a shelter for a bright, surface of the moon. I never seen such a thing. It made a feeling of moon trying to push sun away but it was too strong to give up. That was interesting, is that why Princess Luna needed me? Did she wanted to take over Equestria? But she don't need to do that, she is a princess already. Still somethink can stand in her way or somepony... Oh no, did she want to use my destructive power to wipe out Princess Celestia?
"Princess? What-t is that?" I pointed at the dark cloud.
After saying these words, Princess Luna fall into deeper sadness. I shouldn't ask that question. Then I saw a giant, pink bubble. I knew what was that. The same bubble was used by Princess Twilight when she and her friends battled with NIghtmare Moon. That means Princess is in Ponyville! Or somewhere near to Ponyville...

Going through the bubble was hard. Princess Luna didn't seemed to be struggling. I had a bigger problem. When my body touched the smooth surface of the bubble, I was hit by thousands of invisible needles.
"You need to stay strong, we need to get through" My heart was telling me whole the time but pain was horrible.
Then everything stoped. Now I'm surrounded by darkness. I can't open my eyes but I can feel it. From time to time I can hear ponies talking over me. It's not like I can understand what they are saying. Now there is somethink new, a warm blast of magic, flowing through my body. Maybe I'm dead and someone is trying to revive me? What? Wait, I feel some ground under my hooves. I can open my eyes now! What? There are so many images around me. Is that me? But I'm so small, and why am I in a cave? There is something scaly in the darkness. Oh no! I have too many questions! My head is going to explode!
"Help..." These were the only words which I could say now. Then I fell unconcious...
