Fluttershy enjoyed the cold, clean air when she walked at night, she had often thought of it peaceful. She was on her way home from Sweet Apple Acres, where she was visiting her coltfriend, Big Macintosh. The two of them had started dating after Discord's rehabilitation. As Fluttershy trotted happily along the path towards her cottage, she soon noticed she wasn't alone, there was a young stallion following her. She quickly figured she should probably run, and did so the rest of the way to her cottage, but the stallion wasn't far behind.

Fluttershy did manage to make it to her cottage, got in, and locked the door, but when she turned around the stallion was there inside the cottage with her,"Please don't hurt me." Fluttershy whimpered as she held onto the wall. The stallion approached her ever so gently, because he knew if he made any threatening moves, he'd scare the poor mare,"Miss Fluttershy?" The stallion asked lending out a helping hoof. Fluttershy took the stallion's hoof and stood up,"Yes, I'm Fluttershy." The timid Pegasus said in a soft tone. The stallion reached into his saddle bag and pulled out six invites,"I was told to deliver these to you and your friends." The stallion said handing Fluttershy the six envelopes,"Invitations?" She asked curiously. The stallion said nothing and nodded his head, he proceeded to pull a clipboard out of his saddle bag and balanced it on his hoof,"Sign here please." The stallion said to Fluttershy. Fluttershy took the pen in her mouth and wrote her signature on the line she was designated to,"Thank you miss, and have a wonderful evening." The stallion said as he left the house.

Now that he was gone Fluttershy had a chance to figure out what's in the envelopes given to her. She quickly opened one of the envelopes and read it to herself.

Meanwhile, in Chanterlot.

I was meeting with a client to discuss a job he wanted me to take, we met publicly at the Chanterlot Cafe, because it was safer. I looked around for my client and saw him in the corner of the cafe sipping tea and eating cookies, I made my way to him,"Whose soul are you preying for is it mine?" I asked in our secret code, he looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back politely, he looked around and removed his hat,"Who are you?" He asked in his code, I looked around again and placed out a hoof symbolizing that I wanted to sit, he nodded in return giving me the okay,"I am Nemesis." I said taking a seat,"And Justice shall roll like waters." I said removing my hood. He looked at me from across the table and signaled a waitress to come to our table,"And Righteousness, the everlasting stream, give friend whatever he wants Kimono." My client finished. I felt honored that my client would be so generous to somepony of my stature,"I'll take a cup of Earl Grey Tea, and some crumble cake." I said the waitress. Kimono walked away with a flirtatious smile on her face,"It's good to see you again, Silver Skull." I said to my client, referring to the silver skull mask he had fused to his face.
"You too Orphios, now I take you know why I called you here?" Silver Skull asked, sipping more of his tea.

I nodded my head,"Yeah, but I'm curious why didn't you send me the info on this target?" I asked circling my hoof around in the table. My tea came shortly after,"Thanks." I said to the waitress, to my surprise Kimono dragged her hoof through my black mane. She walked away with another flirtatious look on her face,"Yes, there is a reason to many ponies would have discovered our plan." He said handing me the file. I took a sip of my tea and opened the file, I was shocked with who my target was,"This is-" but before I could finish Silver Skull cut me off,"I know that this one is hard for you, because you know her, but you must kill or capture her, I'm sorry I wouldn't of had you take this one-" I cut him off before he could finish.

"I follow a very strict code of honor, that places my trust I you as my client, I will try to capture her, but if I fail to capture I'll have no choice but to kill her." I said taking a bite out of my cake. He looked at me with a sad look in his eyes, but he said nothing to me.

About two awkward minutes later he finally speaks,"I'm sorry Orphios, but your father wants her, she's crucial to our plan, and you know what happens to those who go against your father." Silver Skull said finishing his tea. He stood up and bowed in respect and left,"So do you accept the contract?" He asked. I was hesitant to answer, because I knew this target personally, but she destroyed my trust a long time ago, this was my chance at vengeance,"Yeah, I accept." I told him. He smiled, bowing again and left the Cafe. I was left alone looking down at the picture in the file. My new target, was not one I wanted to deal with, but I had no choice, what could I do, it's either help my father or break my contract and get publicly disgraced as an outcast amongst my fellow Equestrians. I just kept staring at the picture,"Sir, your bill." Kimono said handing me a slip of paper,"Who's that beautiful mare?" She asked In a questioning tone as she looked at the picture from the file,"She's an old friend, I believe you know her as Princess Luna." I said revealing my target's name, but not the fact she's my target. Kimono looked shocked and walked away I paid my bill off and give Kimono her tip, and left the Cafe. Walking through the streets of Chanterlot I began to wonder how am I going to pull this off.
