The stress started to affect the Princess, and so she started to lose her bright, his coat of pure white changed to gray, its hairs stoped moving, and taked a more dark tone, many years continue and so the problems, the gryphons started to demand everytime more, and the problems from the city started to grow, there where many complains in the day curts about nightmares, and so the princess tried to learn the ´dream walking spell´ but whit not succes, then, and Idea started to grow on the princess is mind, it will rise many questions, but she can simply lie about them when the time comes They believe wharever I told them, they only want to botter, they dont care about anything else "Captain!" Princess Celestia shouted while on its throne Rushing throut the doors came an stallion, he was an earth pony whit black coat and red mane, its eyes where blue "Yes your highness?" he said giving a bow, its cuttie mark was a shield that was dark whit a bright start in the middle, the borders of the shield where red "Yes Captain Bright Shield, I need you to spread the word through the towns about what I am about to tell you, I need you to call all the unicorns, young and old, it doesnt matter the gender, neither its blood, royalty or common, I need all unicorns capable to learn spells, firts, I want you to go and give the news to the magic academys, I need this done as soon as posible, uncerdstand?" said the princess giving the guard a glare "Yes your hightness, It will be done, anything else you want me to do?" said Bright Shield "No, dismiss" Said the princess and started reading the letters that came from the gryphon kingdomn This gryphon wont stop asking for more hunting lands, money, and products, what do I need to do to make them stop!? the princess started to read the pappers over and over again, all the letters that came from the gryphon kingdomn where demmands, or asking to incrise the price of their products that they sell to the ponys, the princess knew that something was off, no matter how many times she help them they continue asking for more, once she dint give them what they asked and the gryphon kingdom threated whit war, this was going to end bad if they dont stop asking for more, and the princess knew it 2 weeks later "This is pointless! you cant even do a simple levitation spell! there is no point!" the Princess started to yell to an old Unicorn that came after hearing the news, many others came but no one was capable of doing the spell, the princess erased their memorys after showing them the spells when they fail, and she was started to grow more angry every day, fail after fail, and this day was no different he cant even se clearly! this is a waste of my time! how cant they be even one unicorn of using this spell! it was for the use of alicorn but for MY sake, this is bad! even after changing the spell for normal unicorns they seems incapable of using it! AGH!!! "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! NOW!" the princess is horn started to bright and in a flash she erased the unicorn is memory and teletransported him out of the castle After a couple of minutes she unlocked the chamber is doors, and opened them, from the door came Bright Shield, followed by two guards, one a unicorn and the other a pegasus "Your hightness, dint it work?"asked Bright shield who was one of the few that knew what the princess was doing, he was her most loyalt soldier, and he knew the damague the news can do if the kingdom knew what was the princess doing "No, it dint,,,,,,,"The princess said, slow and almost like a whisper, and without doing visual contact "but I am not going to give in, that was the last one of today, send the others to their homes, I dont wanna see another unicorn for the rest of this day!" his voice started to go every time louder and angrier, then she glared at the guards in from of her, and she saw the unicorn and send him a glare, suddenly her horn started glowing, and whit a flash the guard dissapeared "I SAID THAT I DONT WANNA SEE ANY MORE UNICORNS!" The other guards, started to shake by the sudden outburts of the princess, he started to repeat over his mind THANKS EQUESTRIA I WAS NOT BORN A UNICORN! then he looked at Bright Shield, who continue normal, it seemed like if he dint care about what happened Suddenly Bright Shield started to chuckle "Your higntness you must stop sending all the unicorns that come whit me to the river outside the castle, really, the last one caught a cold after you throw him" "Ufff, I know Captain, but whit all this problems and the lown progess I be made, I cant help myself sometimes, but well, I am gonna give him a few days out the next time I see him" said the princess "yeah, that may be the best, I am gonna go back and toll the other unicorns that came that they can go home" said Bright Shield "Dismiss" said princess celestia, after the guard leave the throne room she looked outside, it was almost night, so she decide to low the sun and rise the moon already, after she reached her room she looked outside its window and started the progress, after a few minutes she throw its crown to her bed, then she looked outside and started to look at the moon, a single tear scaped from its eyes I miss you little sister, I really miss you,,,,, Not far from the castle was a small town, there was no light, the town almost seemed like a ghost town, except for two shadows that where running in the dark alleys of the town, one of the shadows was a dark coat colt, whit orange mane, his eyes where orange, and he was a blank flank, and earth pony, at his side there was another colt, who was a little bigger than him, he was a unicorn, whit dark blue coat and dark brown mane, his eyes where green, and he was a blank flank too, they where running throught the alleys until they almost reached the forest "Hey Night, are you ready for this?" Said the blue colt "Knight this is gonna end poorly and you know it,,,,,," Said the black coat cold "PSH, stop complaining, really, what can posibly go wrong?" Said the blue cold again "SLEEP KNIGHT YOU HAVE DOOM THIS MISSION! YOU KNOW YOU MUST NEVER, EVEEEEER! SAID THAT WORDS!"
