Darkness Shrouds Us All

Meanwhile, at Canterlot Castle...

    It was nightfall. The guard swept silently into the throne room, of which Princess Celestia is gazing out a large window, noticing all the destruction. The guard went up to her. "Princess Celestia, I have something very important to say." he said. Celestia turned her head toward him and questionably replied, "What is it that's important?"

    "Last night, I found out who had started all this death and destruction to Ponyville. "Who would that 'who' be?" replied Celestia. "You sister of the night, Princess Luna." the guard answered. "She couldn't have done this. She is Nightmare Moon no longer!" Celestia argued. "How would YOU know?" the guard replied, argumentatively. "Do you have proof?" Celestia replied.

    "As a matter of fact," the guard held out the scroll he found in Luna's bedroom. "I do." he gave it to Celestia. She read the scroll, a puzzled expression forming on her face. "What does this have to do with Luna?" Celestia asked. "Last night, I went to get myself some water. When I passed Luna's bedroom, I happened to accidentally overhear her talking about something to do with taking over all of the world for herself. So I decided to investigate her room once she left, and I found that scroll I just gave you." the guard explained.

    Celestia gave him back the scroll. "You may be right... she has been acting a bit strange lately." replied Princess Celestia. "What should we do, your majesty?" the guard asked. "Get Shining Armor to get all the royal guards to fend off this new threat. We need all the protection and offence  we can get." Celestia commanded. "But what if Luna never finds the hidden shrine in the Everfree Forest?" the guard asked. "Then have Shining Armor send out a large group of Equestria's finest knights to stop her from finding it."she commanded again. "Understood." the guard walked out of the room to consult Shining Armor.
