Nightmare Moon groaned in pain.The agony in her wings was still there, she knew that. Yet it seemed dulled as if someone had treated the wounds. Her midsection was now throbbing from her collision, adding more agony to the already present burns. There was another thing next to her also, she could feel the heat coming off of its form. She was able to put her new appendages under her form and pushed herself up. Her torso cried in pain, yet she persevered, and was able to roll onto her left side. The form that was laying next to her was a dog, bigger than any dog she had seen in Equestria. Its fur was golden and was extremely shaggy. As she stared at the dog, it raised its head and looked at her. He appeared to be somewhat sleepy, yet managed to crawl over to her and wipe his tongue over her face.

She reared back, yet forgot that she was perched on the edge of something, and fell over landing on her already injured wings. She gasped at the pain, yet not as much as when the dog jumped out of the bed and resumed his licking of her face.

"Get off me insolent creature!" she cried as slobber covered her face. The dog did not stop though, so she was forced to push it off suddenly and rise to her feet. Nightmare's head buzzed with the sudden blood rush, and had to support herself on a frame of some sort. "Where am I" she gasped as she looked around the room where she was. A light tan covered all of the walls, while the ceiling was brown and the carpet beneath her feet was white and shaggy. Minimal artwork covered the walls, and a large four poster bed where she had been laying on occupied most of the room. One wall was entirely a window where sunlight steamed in through a forest of trees.

She saw a door and walked towards it, leaning herself against the walls. Heavy weights fell from her wings ans she walked, but Nightmare could care less as her hand wrapped around the cold metal of the doorknob and pulled. The dog was now at her legs, and bolted through the door before she could, causing Nightmare to almost fall yet again. Yet she kept herself upright and walked through the doorway into a room of epic proportions. Areas were separated by several chest high walls where one appeared to be a kitchen of some sort and another being a closet of some kind. Chairs and sofas were strewn wildly across the carpeted floor. She was distracted at the sound of scratching. The looked towards the sound and saw the dog clawing at another door that led to the outside.

She almost thought about looking at the dog and cackling wildly as he struggled, but she wasn't that evil, and opened the door. The dog bolted out and Nightmare Moon nearly cracked a smile as he went searching every tree. Smiling? I never smile! she thought to herself. Yet despite a lapse in cruelty, she would find a way home to finally rule the kingdom that she deserved. She went searching for  something that might aid her in finding out where she was, yet only found a large cube like object in the kitchen area.

Interesting.... she thought.


The lighthouse was a wreck. I even had to stop my Triumph at lest fifty feet from the base due to shattered glass. I hoped that the antenna still worked. As I walked in I could see the destruction that had happened. Items had been thrown around into separate piles. I began to dig through them, until I finally found the radio which was buried under a mound of various canned and packaged goods. It was still plugged in and only required a little bit of a hit to finally remove the static. "Hello!" I called into the receiver. "Hello can anyone on the mainland hear me?"

"We read you Cracked Rock Lighthouse, this is control station Delta, what seems to be the problem?"

"The lighthouse is broken at the bulb, I'm calling to request a replacement and a team of..."

"Slow down there Lighthouse, how did the bulb break?"

"Lightning bolt blasted through the lightning rod and overpowered the circuit." I didn't want to tell the truth, of a woman crashing from the heavens, they would think that I was crazy. "I just need that maintenance crew and bulb stat."

"OK Lighthouse, you might need to wait there for a week or so. Storm wrecked up some of our delivery boats, and we're trying to repair them as quickly as possible. We'll try to stop the cruise ships from coming in anymore."

"Thanks Mainland. Lighthouse out." I turned off the radio and tried to re organize all the fallen items before giving up and walking back outside. The ground sparkled with fractured glass and rainwater. I mounted my Triumph again and drove back towards the cabin. Several things struck me as... odd. One of these things was that Ace was out. I didn't let him out, he was with the woman. The second thing was that there was an orange glow coming from the kitchen area.

"What..." I tried to say, then the scent of something burning caught my nostrils. I shot off of the cycle and burst through the unlocked door. Where the stove was, there was a pillar of fire. I ran to the utility closet and grabbed the fire extinguisher that was leaning on the wall. I pulled the pin and aimed the nozzle at the plume of fire. I pulled the trigger and white powder covered the stove and extinguished the fire. Ace barked as both of us were covered in powder. "Hello?" I called "Miss? Are you OK?" I looked and saw that my room's door had been closed, which was not how I had left it. I reached out and turned the knob, walking into my medium sized room. All I saw was the flash of metal and an outstretched pale hand and my chest erupted with cold. It felt like someone had impaled my chest with a pillar of ice. My heart began to slow down because of the cold and I felt myself start to crumple forward. My   face hit the carpet first, but I was already unconscious. All I could see was a pair of dirty white bare feet before my body began to shut down.
