Whispers

The grey mare trotted out of her temporary chambers, greeting every pony with a cheery smile. She tossed her head to the side in confusion. Every pony had a frown wedged on their faces.

"Whatever's the matter? You all look so sad!"

"It's because we have to do this." Shining armour stepped towards the alicorn, tied her hooves together with a rope, and stared at her in agony as if she was a close friend. He had taken a liking towards the sad pony and yearned to help her find who she was, unaware that this was the threat that terrorised the Crystal Empire. She looked back and forth at Cadence, Shining Armour and Twilight in both curiosity and terror. Twilight, realising how lost the pony was, began to explain what had happened the day before, also adding that she had found a book that spoke of a legend much like this, and her destiny wasn't a pretty one. The alicorn lay there, haunted by memories and visions, for a split second before the tears began to swell up in her eyes. Shining Armour pushed Twilight out of the way when she had finished, looked at the guards and nodded, telling them to "take her to the dungeons."

As she was dragged away, she began to whisper

"I'm so sorry... I never meant to-" her voice was drowned out as the guards pulled her further away.

"Yes, I'm 'so' sorry. You'll be sorry... You and all the things you love in life... For I am Darkness!"
