The lost princess

Dreams from the long dead:

Vespera, Vespera join me Vespera and we will not only rule Canterlot but all of Equestria. Every pony was a foal thinking the crystal heart could defeat me. Come to me, say good bye to all that you love. Come to me child of the stars. Come, Come, Come…………..

I woke up with a start sweat dripping off my mane, breathing heavily in my new room Celestia gave me. It was much bigger than my old room in the tower. I got out of bed and walked out to my balcony with the perfect view of all of Canterlot. I sighed I haven’t been getting much sleep lately because of these dreams always the same a voice telling me to rule Equestria. I haven’t told anyone except for Cloud Rider that I have been having nightmares I wouldn’t want them to worry with my coronation coming up soon.

I saw Celestia raise the sun, slowly, I always enjoyed watching her raise it the same goes for my mother. When I was little I used to watch from the balcony after she was finished I would always try my hardest to place each star in the sky.

I heard a knock at the door and entered Cloud Rider with my breakfast she always knew I woke up early in the morning.

“Good Morning, Princess.” Cloud Rider said “Sleep Well?”

I smiled and told her “As well as can be expected,” she sighed and placed my breakfast onto my bed and trotted over towards me. She put a hoof around and gave me a sorry look.

“You should really tell Luna about these dreams. She could help you, she is the Princess of the night after all.” She told me.

“Which is exactly why I don’t want to tell her. I don’t want her to see me tired and wonder what is going on and sneak into my dreams. You of all ponies should know that.” I shouted at her. When Cloud Rider was a filly she would always have nightmares. Her parents were so concerned that they asked Luna to help her. So Luna snuck into her dreams and solved her problems.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to snap. I’m just stressed with the dreams and my coronation within a week.” I apologised

“It’s okay I understand I feel stressed all the time. Not in the way you do but when I’m stressed I raise my voice to.” Cloud Rider told me.

“Good morning, Vespera” A voice coming from outside said. We both turned and saw Celestia on the balcony.

“Morning” I told her while Cloud Rider just bowed in her presence like everyone does to every royal pony. “Celestia, do you know anything about voices in ponies’ dreams?” I asked hopefully going to get some answers in this situation.

“Some say when King Sombra was returning, that he would sneak into ponies’ dreams and change who they were. What once was good then turned to evil. They joined him to take over the crystal empire.” She told me, then she asked the one question I didn’t want to answer “Why do you ask?”

“Uh…… I…… Uh” I was irrupted when the warning bell started ringing echoing throughout all of Canterlot. We all rushed out to the balcony. To see a cloud of black smoke coming towards the castle covering the rest of Canterlot. Luna then came to stand before us with the most worried look on her face. Within the smoke a face started to form the red irises, green eyes, blue mist and a wicked grin.
