(A few hours after Twilight's departure to Black Wind Castle). Princess Celestia paced around the room, she was filled with worry about her faithful student's safety.After all that place hold an unpredictable pony with past very dangerous.

"how is she not there by know I mean it shoulded be taking long," Celestia thought angrily as she paced. Then in the mist of all that thinking, a knock a door was heard.

" A.....sis are still in there?" a familiar voice asked, Celestia ceased her pacing, knowing that Luna would be a little upset about why she was pacing and not finishing her work. Quickly sitting down again at her desk she said,

"Yes I am, why?" Celestia said in most calm voice she could muster,

"Can I come in?" said the voice, with a bit of suspicion in her tone,

"Yes, you may," Celestia responded. The door quietly creaked open,

"Tia? you ok?" Luna asked as she entered,

"Why would you ask?" Celestia said, a little worried,

"I just heard PACING a minute ago," Luna said, angrily. Celestia sighed.

"Fine you caught me..." She admitted, head dropping a bit. Luna's expression softened, she was beginning to think, maybe she had over reacted little.

"I'm sorry it just annoys/worries me to no end when you paced like that, I shouldn't have lashed," Luna said frowning. Celestia faced to look at Luna with some sadness in her eyes.

"Lulu, its ok, I should be apologizing,not you," Celestia reassured, Luna sighed and got up to go sit next to her sister, Celestia wrapped a wing around Luna, hugging her close. It was silent for awhile before Luna shattered the silence,

'Tia, I know how much you're worried about Twilight Sparkle but she'll be fine, what I don;t understand why your so worried?" Luna said calmingly also partly asking question. Celestia sighed deeply, then spoke,

"Lulu,well you see Black Wind Castle is a dark place,known for harboring a family of black magic users, that's why I'm worried for Twilight, the resident's of that place are.....unpredictable," Celestia said like an upset mother. Luna thought hard for a moment before standing up, letting Celestia's wing limply fall to the floor, Celestia turned to faced luna as she walked out,

"Luna,where are you going?" She asked,

"I just remembered some errands I need to complete, thats all," Luna said turning her face toward Celestia while giving her a small smile. Celestia nodded in understanding, Luna nodding back, exiting the room, the doors barely making a sound as they closed. Celestia got up and walked over to her bed and layed down, all of her duties were done and everyone even princesses  could always use a nice nap.

Luna walked down the sunlight hallway. She was heading to her bed chambers to finish some of her own work, which was in some desperate need of attention. When Luna finally reached her room. She opened the door to a dimly lite room with some moon decor. As the heavier oak doors closed with unexpected slam, making Luna jump a little, she sighed, she also worried for twilight but kept saying to herself that twilight would be fine. Luna had conversed with ShadowGale once before and she seemed alright but one thing was off. Unlike most dark magic users,she believed that dark magic was evil yes but it only because of the user. Luna thought hard for a moment, maybe she would have to visited her sometime again. She sat down at her desk, pulling a few books from a nearby shelf. She stopped for a moment before opening the cover, Luna bite her lip, she wanted to look inside but she didn't want to at the same time."I'll look later," Luna thought. opening the other book instead, she read on but her eyes kept glancing at the deep purple cover. The book had ancient spells in it but not all were to friendly. Luna resisted with all her might but finally broke, opening the book, she began freshing her memory on its contents. The book originally belonged to ShadowGale but it was a gift to Luna. "A gift given a long time ago," Luna thought. "Long time ago...."
