The Sun Goes Dark

Celestia galloped through a field of her favorite flower. Sunflowers blossomed everywhere, all different sizes and colors. Tia danced and played in the large flowers, until she saw it. One of the flowers was much taller than the rest, and it's colors were oh so beautiful! The princess couldn't help but touch it. She slowly lifted her hoof to the stem, but before she could make contact, she heard a loud BOOM and rain seemingly poured out of nowhere. The first thing Celestia saw when she looked up, was a purple beam of light, causing a hole to form in the clouds, right above her head. Confused, she looked to where the magic had come from, and saw a large, grey, unicorn stallion, quietly watching her from afar. "Is that...?" Tia could not see very well through the storm, but soon recognized her visitor, for when he turned around, he revealed a red and white cape, almost hiding his cutie mark.

"Tia," a familiar voice called out. "Tia, wake up!"

Celestia blinked, finding herself in her bedroom. She didn't run through flowers. She didn't try to pick a sunflower. Sombra didn't keep the rain away from her. She had been asleep. "It was a.....dream?"

"Celestia, the sun should be up by now!" Luna panicked.

"Well, that's too bad." The white alicorn walked toward the balcony overlooking her beloved kingdom. "Because if I can't see Sombra, no one will see anything."

"Tia, what's gotten in to you?! You have to raise the sun or everypony will die! Crops can't grow, and Equestria will freeze!"

"I know."

The young princess did not wish to hurt her sister, but she had no choice. It had to be done. "Sis, if you do not use your magic to fulfill your royal duties, maybe you don't deserve your magic at all."
