Kirins of a new age

A dark feeling crept over ponyville like the shadows were reaching out under the pale moon light they weaved through out the town like string the shadows moved toward a mare in the center of Ponyville. Her stark black coat seemed to shine like obsidian in the moon light her purple eyes seemed to glow in the dark her mane sparkled silver in the light she wore long gray black jeans and a short gray top with two white coiled bands on her arms. she stood in the center just waiting for something then the shadows came to her weaving in to a large black dot

in the center of a shadow spider web.

the mare spoke "welcome to night shadow that walks."

A walking shadow changes the darkness in greater darkness" said a figure rising from the black dot his long sharp spines and horns gleamed blood red like his mane his eyes a sharp blue that captivated others his black fur and scales cover his skinny body his claws sharp like a hunter his tail long and whip like. he wore a purple shirt and navy blue jeans. "has the walk of time brought the pieces of together on to this board my spider."

"yes Umbra waltz"

"well then let the songs of shadows play in perfect tune my spider and clean the remnants of darkness."

"yes Umbra waltz"

"young starlight rest in the shadows of true moonlight so I follow the stars." opening a door made of shadows on the wall closes to him. "spider I hope you snare the starlight as well."

"ok good night Umbra see you in the morning. man I hate the way he talks. shadows reform and disperse." on her word the shadow web changed in to a black pool before scattering to there origins. "well its time I make my bed for the night." uncoiling the bands on her arms revealing  thin strings with hooks on the end using two strings to hook her self on to a near by house she covers herself in the other strings creating cocoon for her to rest in. "Now that everything is done I will just wake up tomorrow all nice and refreshed goodnight Shade Strings."

the next morning twilight was eating breakfast wile reading a book on biology when Spike ran in from going shopping yelling.

"Twilight-twilight there is a huge cocoon in the middle of the town square and anyone who touches the thing gets tangled up in an weird string."

"That's nice spike how was shopping," twilight said not paying attention looking only at the book deep in what she is looking at.

"Uh hello Equestria to Twilight come in twilight did you hear what I said" slamming her book down showing she was looking at pony and dragon biology. "hey why are you looking those never mind answer later pony need help now and rarity is having no luck untangling anyone."

"Hey Spike that was rude wait ponies are in trouble where."

"the center of town and I wouldn't get to close to the thing."

sprinting out the door twilight says "Thanks Spike."

when she got to the center of town all she could see was two things the cocoon spike was talking about and Fluttershy, Dramize and Rarity standing in front of the cocoon. Rarity was freaking not knowing what to do. Dramize was talking to Fluttershy about something  before turning toward his shadow and yelling.

"Umbra wake up and deal with this."

"ok ok I rise like the glory of the sun to no longer resting like the shadow of the moon."

walking to the cocoon umbra summons his weapon a large scythe swinging the blade of the scythe he look like he is going to slice the cocoon in half only to stop short and poke the cocoon saying. "wake spider of limitless shade the sun, the volcanic rage, and the hidden blizzard beckons."

   the main cocoon shifts and wiggles and then starts to unravel around all who were tangled the strings retreating in to the cocoon and then the cocoon unraveled revealing the mare inside.

"Good morning Umbra did I over sleep again. oh hey Dramize how it going."

"it's going well shade I'm surprised that you guys made it here so fast."

"shadows move with silence of light in perfect dance with time."

"oh so you never got that fixed by the way how's the search for the cure."

"he gave up along time ago."

"I see. But now I have to ask why?"

"We've been looking for solid year and didn't find any thing to make him talk normally so there is no cure. You just have to figure  out what he is saying."

"shadows hidden in light under the guise of truth."

"I know this curse is annoying for you it's annoying for all of us."

"the hearth of shadows belongs to the one of shadows"

"what?"

"I forgot about that hey Flutters about our arrangements"

"UUUh what? oh oh yea follow me to Twilight's then I will show you."

" Joy of sound soul showing riddles in light but who is this one of both dark and light?"

"Yea who is twilight?"

"she is the purple mare right next to me."

"oh hello I'm Shade Strings and you now know Umbra."

"Greetings she who walks the divide."

"Helllooo?"

"now to the library." said a wild pinkie.

"HOW THE FLYING?"

"Just don't question it."

"But how did she?"

"Just don't you will hurt your self."

"But it AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH."

"Told you so and now we run."

"Why?"

"Because he will explode in 20 seconds starting now. So why are we still here?"

Running as fast as they could away from the town square they get away to here an explosion turn around they can see a pillar of fire coming form there original position.

"Uhhhh yea and that's why we ran and pinkie don't just appear around him the explosion can get bigger."

"Your kidding me right they could probably see the tower of flame from Canterlot "

"she is not kidding you and that was me controlling the blast my normal radius is about 30,000 yards no joke. Any way shall we go as she said to the library."

"I will gather the others and meet you there."
