Shadows and light, angels and demons

The Everfree Forest

Midnight

The Castle of the Two Sisters was quiet in the night, quiet as broken down ruins should be. The wind howls through the openings and cracks in the walls, its as if the castle its self is howling out into the night... suddenly the wind picks up. more than it usually did, a bright light begins to shine from inside the castle. A low hum cuts through the air, the hum escalates into a shrill tone, like metal being torn apart. Then, with a great clap of thunder. There is silence... the light fades. and there is peace once again. Inside the castle in the throne room, a Bipedal creature lies on the ground unconscious. A deep thrum begins to emanate from the creature as shadows curl up from it like smoke and form into a another bipedal creature, "Well, I have done all I can for you. little shadow. Use this chance wisely..." With that the creature vanishes into nothingness, leaving a softly snoring boy in a new and unfamiliar land...

Canterlot, Princess Celestia's chambers

The Monarch of the sun awakes from her Cake filled dream with a cold sweat. Breathing heavily, she mentally checks again to see if her fears where correct, and they were. A surge of foreign magical power of a worrying amount was coming from her old castle, the ancient wards there had woken her up from her slumber. she takes a moment to gather her thoughts and options, "I can't exactly send princess twilight a letter, nor can I alert Cadence and Shining Armor. And luna does not know of this, since it was my own Wards that warned me... I suppose this can wait till morning, since it is but only a couple hours away." She lays back down on her luxurious bed, and uneasily falls asleep.
