The Curse of The Blessing
The Prophecy
Previous ChapterThe knock on the door stunned both Twilight and me. "Who do you think it is?" Twilight asked.
"I don't know, but I am going to see who it is." I said cheerfully.
"Shadow but what if its Celestia's royal guards looking for us or worse." Twilight argued as she looked at me with an raised eyebrow.
"Don't worry we didn't kill no pony or anything did we and if it was the royal guards they probly came to check on you princess." I stated as I was at the door.
I open the library doors just to see Princess Luna. I was excited,"Come in Luna." I greeted.
Luna walked in but she wasn't as happy to see us. "Twilight,"she called,"Shadow come here I need to talk you." Both me and Twilight sat in front of Luna."Have you see any weird ponies around."
"Yes,"I blurted getting her attention." There was this unicorn and his name was Skylight Burst. I found him casting an spell on Twilight then I called him telling to stop then he shot me it felt weak but it made both of us fall of sleep."
"Are you OK?"Luna asked.
"Yes," Twilight chimed in."But that is not all." She made the illusion spell disappear and showing Luna her fangs.
"This is bad he got the wrong unicorn. Shadow you were suppose to get the blessing not Twilight." She declared
" No it also gotten me." I said confusing dropping my spell showing my fangs and wings.
"Celestia must not find out that Twilight got this Blessing of The Night." Luna commanded."I do not know what will she do to Twilight, but that isn't why I came here I found this in the old castle." She dropped a scroll.
I took the scroll," Why were you there?" I asked while unraveling the scroll.
"Just felt like going there." Luna answered.
I unraveled the scroll and started to read it.
"All my years of studying my time is almost here to pass, but before I pass I felt an unpleasant danger coming forth to Equstia. Therefor I am going to pass my magic to an family in which that generation of danger comes gets it, but two in which they must find before darkness overcomes them. The power I have passed was:Protection, Magic of the highest degree, Darkness, Light, and Hope. I also found this prophecy during my research it will be here by casting the hidden word spell its an dark spell and its very tricky. Just imaging the words being drowned in light and it shall reveal the prophecy.
With best of regards Star Swirled The Bearded."
As I gotten done reading I felt weird but when I looked at Twilight her eyes were big once again she was stunned. "Who signed it?" She asked
I gave a small chuckle,"Star Swirl The Bearded."
"A-a-and he past his powers possibly to us?" She asked.
Luna reply."Think about it all of you Shiny Armor, You, and Shadow have an strong point in magic. Shiny Armor in his protection spell, you with magic, and Shadow I am not sure but the explosion at the school has spoken for you." gave a sigh. "I thought to my self I could use dark magic without becoming corrupt like Twilight." I looked at the scroll. I looked up towards the window giving an reflection. Around my eyes the white part were green and and dark mist were sweeping out my eyes and my horn aura was black filled with green blotches. Then a bright light came from the scroll I seen the words moving and then being place a different place. Luna and Twilight was starting at me as I stayed this way to read this prophecy. I cleared my through an read aloud," When the harmony is broken. When all else has failed. Five blessed ones shall come and give light into darkness. Four shall give to the sky while the other prepare for the night. Therefor hurt of the blistering knives of lies. The one left alone will be given an choice.To join or To die."My voice shudder on the last part the words were place back in the original letter. The green around my eyes faded my aura disappear.I felt light headed. I took a step towards the fire place, but all I did was stumble. Twilight came to my aid.
"That must of took a lot out of you huh." Twilight smiled but with an worry eyes.
I nodded. Princess Luna added," Be safe Shadow I must report back at Canterlot before my sister become worry of my disappearance, and I must raise the moon." Luna walked out the door and I heard the beating of her wings.
I was cold sitting by the fireplace. For some reason that single spell made me cold, but how it was just a spell for decoding messages but using dark magic. I shiver and told Twilight that I was going to bed.
I was looking up at the ceiling wondering about the prophecy. I thought to myself "What does it mean four shall give to the sky while one be prepared for the night." I closed my eyes for a while until I felt the air change. I open them I was in an castle not the one in Crystal or Canterlot. Just then I heard hoof steps I quickly dove behind an loveseat blocking anypony view to see me but give me an chance to spy. As the hoofs steps gotten closer I looked around, and seen a crib half blocked from my view since an table was in my way.
"Luna." The pony said "Why now?" I felt like I recognized the voice. The stallion walked past my hiding spot I plan on running out the castle. I did the exact opposite of running but tip toeing. I looked in the crop an grey unicorn with an red mane. I was stun not because of the young colt but his eyes it felt like an. "What you want? If its the baby.No" The stallion shouted. I twisted my head but his appearance shocked me. He had an black coat and his mane was like mine, but what really caught my eye was that he was an alicorn, but I felt safe around him like I knew he wasn't going to harm me, but he looked like me is this the future of my life.Questions began filling my head "Where's Twilight? Where am I? What did Luna did?"
"State your business Midnight of Sparkle Messenger of Star Swirl." The older mirror image of myself commanded.
"Sir Star Swirl wants to take the baby its not safe here. He already been bitten by her." Midnight said with concern. I looked over to the baby colt on his back left hind leg there is an dark pitch black spot.
"No it won't spread he will be an normal young alicorn." He shouted. I quickly looked at the young colt he did have wings I was confuse.
"But Prince Dusk Shadow. He is the last youngest living colt alicorn, and you are the last prince alicorn." Midnight pleaded.
"Hey hey what going on here." I commanded rage building up as I walked up to Midnight."Why do you want to take this colt, and Star Swirled was dead. He's been dead for 900 years already."
"Nightmare-" Midnight got cut off.
" She isn't Nightmare Moon she is Princess Luna fool." The prince denied.
The scenery changed to the castle being burned and the young colt in the prince's hands, and and bearded unicorn was standing there concerned. The prince was badly injured his wings each had an arrow in them and one through the torso. He was crying over the colt "Take him and keep him safe." I notice something different about him the white of his eyes were different. They were green. The Prince shut his eyes and didn't move. The bearded unicorn took the baby into his grasp of his magic. You are not meant for this time Eclipse. The young body turned into an white light and went into the unicorn.
I closed my eyes hoping it was over but then I heard a voice."Midnight Sparkle my grateful student my time has come."
"But Star you can't leave." The indigo unicorn name Midnight Sparkle.
"I am going to give my powers of magic in you family for the reward of being there for me." Star Swirl changed into a bright white light and disappear.
It was blank now nothing to see or hear. It was an black void.
"Shadow." A sorrow voice called I knew who it was but what I was feeling was indescribable.
"What." I called back
"I should of told you earlier." Luna cried
"Was the baby yours?"'I asked
"Yes and its also you." She choked a little bit
"How?" I question"When my parents are Twilight Velvet and Night Light."
"That is now." She answeard."Star Swirl when he took you when." She sobbed."When your father was dying he took your magic, your soul, and your very essence and past it down to Midnight Sparkle. Before I banish you were my child." She started to cry more."But I let evil taken me I was giong to let it take you."
I interrupted"Luna I get what you were saying but what else are you hiding about my past."
Luna said nervously"Your name back when you were mine was Eclipse Shadow."
I reply back but hiding my true emotions so I would upset Luna anymore."So I been using my surname as my first and that night when I got my cutie mark was that a lie." I sorta joked.
"Yes." Luna answer coldy.
I was stunned."What you mean."
"I used an illusion spell to give you one its always active since I have more advance power." Luna answered
I woke up in an depression.
"Good morning sleepy head its almost noon." Twilight said cheerfully
I could look at her as my sister anymore.
