The Witch King Rises Again

"Mal? Amar Angmar?" (Where? Where am I?) Angmar awoke on a rock platform. As he got up he looked around and felt his armour and his blades. Wait what? He hasn't been able to feel since.... Angmar realized that the voice in his head that had been there for longer than he could remember was gone. The voice telling him what to do, when to do it. The voice of his master. He could think for himself again. He could feel his power. He looked over his body. He has all of his armour (including his helmet), his cloak, his long sword, short sword and morgul dagger. Everything he had gone into battle with. Oh right, the battle, the one he lost. Angmar realized what this meant. He can't go back now. He would be killed for his failure. He would have to make his way where he was now. He looked up into the sky and saw that it wasn't the night sky he remembered from middle earth. It seemed less filled with darkness and more with a calming solemn feel. This feeling disturbed him. He had grow use to the violence and the fear in the night sky, it was a time when he and his brothers could roam free. Angmar was so entranced by the night sky and his thoughts that he didn't notice the black stallion walk up behind him. Angmar turned to see a stallion he recognized as his own. It was pitch black with some armour and its eyes glowed red. Angmar realized that he was getting nowhere by just standing there. He mounted the horse and looked around to find a path. He has happy to have his ring of power with him, it allowed him to see in the dark and use magic without a staff. He spurred the horse, his boots were sharp enough to do so without spurs. They went down the path. Looking off the mountain he was on he could see that the path would lead to a forest and past the forest were; a small town, a frozen wasteland with a tower he could make out, and a desert. He opted for the town. In the distance he could see another mountain, and clinging to the side of that mountain was a castle, a large one at that. Perhaps he could speak with the rulers of this land. He spurred the horse again and the sped off down the mountain.

Twilight awoke from a nightmare, a cold sweat forming on her face. This was a nightmare like no other, and she remembered it completely.

There was mist everywhere, it had white and black swirls here and there but it was mostly grey. She was simply standing there between two creatures. One of them looked like a ghost but the species it once was, she couldn't tell. It had a face that looked wise and all knowing but far to old for it to be alive. The other was terrifying. It was clad in black armour and over it was a cloak. She couldn't see it's face but she could tell it was staring at her through the eyes in its mask. She looked forward only to find a ring materialize in front of her. It was a gold ring with what she assumed was a diamond inlaid in the gold. She looked closer at it and heard a voice, an evil voice. She looked away as she saw the two creature take arms. The ghost with a single longsword and the wraith with a longsword in one hand and a short sword in the other. They began to advance on her. She could hear them talking in a language she didn't understand. The ring began to spin. She tried to back away from the evil, but too no avail, she couldn't move. The two bipedal beings charged at her, their robes trailing behind them, and as they were about to clash with her in the way of their strikes. She woke up.

She could not go back to sleep, not after that. She got up and walked downstairs to see if she could find a book to tell her what those things could have been, when she heard a knock at the door. She walked over to the door and opened it.

"Princess Luna?" Twilight asked somewhat confused at her presence.

"Twilight how many times must I ask you to just call me Luna?" Luna replied with a smirk.

"Oh, right, Luna. What brings you hear?"

"I was searching through some of the bad dreams that our subjects were having when I cam upon yours. I looked deeper and entered it, careful to remain hidden. I saw what was happening in your dream and it frightened me. It wasn't even my own, and I knew it was a dream. So I came to see if you would like some company, and knowing you, help you find out what your dream meant." Twilight motioned for Luna to enter, she did. They both sat down and Luna went to make tea. With tea, they began to discuss what they saw when more knocks came to the door. Twilight rolled here eyes and apologized to Luna who simply laughed it off.

"TWILIGHT!!!" Pinkie screamed as she burst into the library.

"Ugh, what Pinkie?!? It's midnight and I was having a discussion with Princess Luna!" Twilight said annoyed.

"I had my Pinkie sense again! It was the one where I know when a new pony comes to town! But it was WAAAAAAAAY stronger, and I was wondering if you had any bad dreams lately?" Pinkie said this as if it was obvious, Twilight had her jaw slacked.

"Y-Yes I had one just now, that's why Luna is here." Twilight replied.

"Okie-dokie then have fun you two!" Pinkie bounced out of the library, the door closing behind her.

Twilight was about to take another sip of tea when she heard an all-too-familiar gasp coming from outside."Ugh, what now?" Twilight sighed. Luna looked puzzled and followed Twilight out of the library to join Pinkie. What they saw shook them to the core. In front of them, upon a huge stallion with facial features that could only make it barely resembling that of a pony's, was the wraith Twilight had seen in her dream. It was looking down at them through it's mask and she could see from the armour that it was ready for a fight. Although she couldn't get herself to move, she simply stared at the creature, and to her relief it turned away and continued to ride the black stallion through the town it seemed to be looking for something. She looked at Luna who was still gawking at the creature, she seemed just as terrified of it. Twilight knew she couldn't just let a creature from her nightmare simply walk around without being sure it wouldn't hurt anypony. "Uh. E-Excuse me?" Fear gripped her again as the stallion stopped and the creature's head turned. She fears that she just made the greatest mistake in her life.
