Days To Come

Once the prisoner came into the room, everypony was asking questions. But the only ones he was answering was Princess Celestia's.

"Were you one of Princess Luna's guards?" Celestia demanded.

"Yes." He stated flatly.

"Do you know the whereabouts of Luna?" Celestia spitted out with as much scorn I have ever seen.

"Why should I tell you?" the prisoner said calmly. "I won't crack that easily."

"I should have the right to rip you in half!" Celestia roared loosing her temper.

"If you must know something useful, I still am loyal to the princess of the night." He said more seriously.

"What do you mean 'still loyal'?" Celestia asked now sounding confused.

"You don't get it yet do you. Luna wasn't 'kidnapped' and 'dragged against her will', no. She is in on this plan."

"I... I still don't understand." Celestia now sounding more thoughtful.

"Why would she be 'in' on this? What plan?!"Celestia ordered.

"Luna wants a new order. A new way to run things. And I will support her till the very end." He said triumphantly.

"She already has support in

Van Hoover, Las Pegasus, heck. The entire western sea board!" He shouted maniacally.

"What?!" Sapphire Sky objected.

"I have no word of this! He must be lying!" Sapphire Sky argued with all her might to protect Las Pegasus's name.

"Ha! You think I would come in here to lie to you? Come on! If I lied, I would have my head cut off for sure." He said clearly pleased to disrupt the whole meeting.

"Have him taken back to our jail. Now!" Celestia ordered the guard who brought him in the first place.

"You think this is over because you're sending me back to that Luna-forsaken hole? It's not! We have guards everywhere watching everypony! We are the night, we are the Shadows!" He shouted being escorted down the halls. His words still echoing in everypony's head.

"This changes everything." Rocky Valley said breaking the silence.

"And it appears Canterlot is stuck in the middle of it all." Mayor Mare added on.

"Well. What do we do now? We sort of know the enemy at least." Blaze Night said not breaking the tension in the room.

"If you could excuse me, I have to have some time to think." Celestia said getting up out of her seat.

"Shining Armor can answer for me if you have anymore questions." Celestia said pointing her muzzle towards Shining Armor putting him in the spotlight.

"Yes your highness." He obeyed sitting where Celestia was.

As Shining Armor sat next to me, he said, "you can go with her Twily. I got this. I know you feel out of place. And I think the Princess needs somepony right now."

"You're right. I'm not good with politics even though I am one." I joked getting up and stretching my legs.

As I closed the door behind myself, I heard from Misty Apparition, "now. We need to talk about where they all are...."
