Chapter 4: Eclipse Star, Nightmare Moon, and Chrysalis

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

           Eclipse Star climbed into her carriage and off she flew. She would go to Canterlot soon enough. First she needed to stop in the Changeling Empire. Chrysalis was waiting for Eclipse outside the castle. "Shall we go, my dear friend?" Chrysalis asked. Eclipse nodded and together they rode the winds all the way to Canterlot. When they arrived, the guards were confused and almost attacked Chrysalis. Eclipse heard their movements and screeched, "Under the order of the Princess of the Astrological Kingdom I demand you stand down!!" She took a few deep breaths and said in a calmer tone, "Queen Chrysalis is my guest. The guards of Canterlot are not to attack her under any circumstances. I would wager Chrysalis would like to see what I have been worried about for so long." The guards nodded and bowed. Eclipse needed Chrysalis for another reason, too. Well really two reasons. Chrysalis was needed for the spell, and she knows the way to the solitary confinement center of the prison.

           Celestia was reluctant, but she allowed Chrysalis to stay in Canterlot. Eclipse seemed concerned. "Now do you see why I have been so worried, Chryssi?" she said. Eclipse heard Nightmare Moon's breathing. Chrysalis stepped back, shocked. "But.... But how?!" she cried. "Nightmare has always been a part of Luna! How is she out here, in the real world, seperate of Luna?!" Eclipse lifted a hoof. Chrysalis was too busy staring at Nightmare to notice the goo dripping from the ceiling. Eclipse heard and felt it. Celestia looked up, but saw only blackness. She lit her horn and searched the rafters. All she found was a leak in the shield spell she had up. Luna was still staring through the glass at Nightmare. My envy and jealousy. The embodiment of my hatred toward Celestia. Why did she strike then? Why did she wait? she thought.

           By the time the four alicorns left her, Nightmare Moon was curled up in a ball, asleep. Soon she started writhing. It was almost as if she were in pain. She saw death. Only death. Celestia, Chrysalis, even Eclipse. Then she turned and saw Luna. She was on the ground, bleeding out. Looking up at Nightmare, she murmered, "Run...." She closed her eyes and stopped breathing. The four dead ponies around Nightmare disintegrated in a golden mist. She heard laughing. She walked around, attempting to find the source. She found six ponies. Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. But they're dead, she thought. I watched them die! The six had dark coats, stained red with alicorn blood. Twilight cackled. She opened her wings and attacked Nightmare with her magic. Nightmare had no chance of survival. Nightmare woke, screaming bloody murder. Why would they attack me? she thought. Then she shook her head. No. It was just a dream. They are long dead.
