All of the Royal Guard disagreed with what was going on. But however hard they try the tormentor put a spell on them, making it impossible for them to Report what was going on nor attack, or distract, nor misguide. All of the rulers that did not have take a part of this process were unaware of it. They were aware of the missing but not of the torments that was going on in the background. that is until A guard found a loophole.
He entered the castle that stood firm in Canterlot. "Princesses you must come at once! We something you need to see" Celestia and Luna strode down the room trying to maintain them selves from breaking. They felt that whoever was doing this to their people was actually targeting them like all the other villains did. They had to take several precautions but worried about their people even more. at first Celestia, who had said that she was worried about Twilight Sparkle who returned to ponyville. She finally convinced Luna to allow all the alicorns to be under professional guard. all of the professional guard however was the royal guard.
"Yes?" luna asked with great curiosity in mind but hardly showed any of it in her facial expression or tone of voice.
"More information has been brought up in the case of all the missing ponies." Celestia and Luna's head jerked up.
"What!"they both exclaimed in unison. Though both of them had started off Luna continued given the fact that Celestia's face was splattered with shock. "Where is it?!" She said not trying to maintain her level headedness as much as she had unlike her sister who was frozen solid.
"This way please." the royal guard said motioning his hoof.
"But please! No please I'm begging you! please!" A reddish pony was laid before one of Equestria's Rulers. tears were falling onto the floor forming a puddle.
"Oh come on this is fun!!" The ruler that stood before him said with a chuckle. "And I haven't even begun." outside of the door one could hear the cries of the one poor soul that had been tortured now screaming in agony.
After several hours of screaming it finally came to a stop. Usually you would be able to hear the screaming outside the walls of the surrounding rooms but because of the spell that the one who inflicted the torture had put upon it all that was silenced.
Not a single pony was able to hear anything. No pony even knew but there was no denying the fact that ponies were disappearing.
Every day up to four ponies were taken from their homes to the unknown and none were found. "Royal guards!" The ruler said from inside the torment room. "Please Escort this Rusty, here back with the others." The speakers mouth formed into A sneer. "Wait! Never mind take him to his home, hell"
"Please! No! My children! my wife! You.. you can't! please! Sir! Sir! Sir!!!!"
The one pony that could do something for him turned their back chuckled as they replied, "Why should I?" Rusty had a horrified look on his face as he was hauled away. As like were many others.
