A gorgeous day was holding a wonderful celebration in the Old Kingdom of the Two Sisters. For today is like no other day, today is a Celebration about the defeat of Discord using the Elements of Harmony. The two Princesses of Canterlot walk out towards the balcony to be Congratulated by the crowd, as the Princesses made their way through the hall where they were bowed before the Royal Guards. Princess Celestia was ahead of her sister Luna and was the first to step out on the balcony with a wave of cheers yelling out Celestia's name by the crowd themselves, Princess Luna stepped out as the crowd of cheers died down not a second wave to give to her. Celestia gave out a speech using the Royal voice so that she was heard everywhere for her loyal subjects, and using the Royal "we" which most ponies understood. "Thank you all for congratulating us, we could not be happier to see a bright and peaceful future ahead of us today, for today is a Celebration about the defeat of a great threat that created chaos wherever he walked, flew and by just a snap of his fingers, the Defeat of Discord. We couldn't have defeated him without the Elements of Harmony" Princess Celestia finishes her speech by sending out a spell that shot like fireworks in the sky and waving goodbye to the crowd as she walked back inside the castle, Luna followed behind her elder sister with her mind in a knot of wonder why is Tia taking all the credit for Discords Defeat? And why did everypony not cheer for me? I helped as well.

As the evening rolled by and the celebration was still going on a huge party was being thrown downstairs in the main hall, and Luna was sitting in her room alone in front of her mirror, Luna couldn't help but think about her Sister's Speech and the crowd of ponies who cheered for Celestia and ONLY her. I helped Defeat Discord, I carried the elements of Loyalty, Honesty, and Laughter my Sister shouldn't have taken all the credit for such a heroic act. Luna stroked her starry night mane, raised the moon, and trotted off to bed soon fast asleep of the magic usage put into raising the moon. It was a bit odd that Princess Luna had a dream that night she knew she could come in other ponies dream but she would never have a dream of her own, this dream had an unsettling feeling to it there was nopony around,not even Celestia, the scenery became clear that she was in the Canterlot Gardens. There were no stars in the sky just the moon and herself.

After a while trotting in the Gardens Luna noticed a dark, shadowy figure in front of her. "Who are you?" the Princess demands with trembling fear and anger in her tone, the mysterious figure replies in Silence then takes a step forward towards Luna while the Princess takes a step back but maintains courage to stand her ground. "I am warning you stay back! O-Or I-I-I will call my guards!" Luna says while preparing herself to attack the thing but somehow feels a bit of fear to not attack. The figure gets even closer without hesitation, Luna realizes that she can no longer take a step back nor move herself to do so as if the ground had crumbled or disappeared into thin air and as if somepony used a spell to keep her in place. The shadowy figure is within touchable space opposite of Luna, "Don't you dare touch me!"the princess snarls. Luna can feel a warm touch on her shoulder she stared at the figure for a moment then everything goes pitch black as Luna falls unconscious to the ground. Having the figure stare at her as she fell the figure acted quickly and picked her up to bring her to the unknown figure's destination.
