A Light in the Dark Chapter I

Twilight looked out the window. She was tired, but she couldn't sleep. A current thought kept troubling her. She pondered about what is was. Deep in her gut she felt that something wrong just happened. She knew that something would come and change everypony. But what was it? Did it pose a threat to anypony? If so, how could she prevent it from happening? Twilight glanced over to Spike. She couldn't bear the loss of her friends. The thought of losing them saddened her. Now, she could feel the effects of tiredness in her body as she exited the balcony. She was too tired to think anymore. She returned to her bed, and fell into deep sleep, in Luna's beautiful night.

Luna was raising the moon ever so slightly so it was just perfect. But then something caught her eye. A falling star, perhaps? She enjoyed looking at falling stars. And comets, too. But this one had a strange golden tail surrounded with blue flame. It was beautiful. Yet, she was paranoid that it would do serious damage to Ponyville. She ordered that her guards of the night investigate for the fear of a wild fire spreading too close to civilization. But, in the back of her head, one thought, one phrase, one quote alone made her hesitant.

"Curiosity can be good at some points, but it also killed the cat, didn't it?"

Luna avoided paranoia and continued on with her work, moving the stars and raising the moon high into the night sky. She was truly proud of her work, but what happened kept bothering her throughout the night as she attended her duties. She remembered the beautiful comet, quickly descending into who knows where. Luna hoped there would be not damage done.

At the dawn of a new day, Princess Celestia awoke to attend to her duties. She went through her regular morning routine. Be prepared for the day, eat, and finally she slowly began to raise the sun. As she did, Luna entered the room. Sunlight burst throught the windows.

"Good morning, dear sister. I assume you slept well?" asked Celestia.

"No, sister I am afraid not," replied Luna.

"Is something bothering you?" asked Celestia.

"Not really. But, last night I saw a falling star. Or it looked like a star. I couldn't really see it at a distance. I'm sure it crashed some where in the Everfree Forest. I sent my night guards out to investigate because of the risk of a fire, yet they have not returned. I am worried and I fear they might not return."

Celestia looked fondly to her younger sister. "Worry not, I assume they will be here any time now."

As if on que, a sharp knock was heard at the door.

"Enter," said Celestia. A night guard stood in the doorway. He looked shocked, yet he remained calm.

"Your majesty's, terribly sorry to interrupt your conversation, but you should look at what we found in the Everfree." Stated the night guard.

"We will attend in a second. Dismissed." Declared Celestia.

She turned to her sister and said, "Fear not;they have returned. Now, let's go look at a "star". Shall we?"

"Yes we shall." responded Luna.

Luna and Celestia trotted over to their chariot, and flew to the designated area. Celestia enjoyed flying. Feeling the wind against her made her feel alive. After landing, they followed two day guards to the area . They were shocked at what they saw. It certainly was a trail. A crashed object lie further ahead. The guards asked if they wanted to find out what it is. The sisters nodded eagerly before following the guards deeper into the forest.

After walking about two to five minutes, they came to where the trail ended. The sisters glanced around, spying the broken trees and the burned environment surroundings. The area looked horrible. Trees broken from the force of the object, and burnt trees,bushes and land were accompanied with it. The sisters glanced over to the crashed object and gasped. It was one of the most feared creatures in Equestria. It was a human. Humans had never been very common, and were very rare. In fact,they were deemed extinct. Luna was curious so she drew closer to the human. Celestia accompanied Luna as Luna moved closer. The human was in horrible condition. It had several puncture marks spread onto its body. Dried blood was encrusted to its face, and burns covered areas of its body. Judging by the look of its face, thought Celestia ,it is very young. 10 to 15, perhaps. And... It seems so... She did not finish. She quickly scanned it using a certain spell.

It was barely alive. Just clinging so loosely to life. Celestia pitied it. She cast a spell that let her see its thoughts. She was horrified at what she saw. He, the human, had lost so much. Now, Celestia truly had sympathy for him. His parents murdered by other humans wielding weapons that shot metal, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. She could only imagine what pain he went thought. And he was only 12. As he was dying, she was able to hear his final words.

"Mom,dad, I'm coming home."

Now Celestia truly cried. Luna came and kneeled beside her. She asked what was wrong. Celestia cried and said,

"He has lost so much. His parents were murdered. Now, at 12 years, he is dead. Such a young innocent death, that never was deserved."

Luna started to cry, too. Nopony, even if they were a pony or not, did not deserve this.

They placed the body into a storage charriot to be burried. if anything, Celestia hated injustice. even when she could do nothing at all.

And then, his body began to do something.
