I think im leaving this chapter as horrible as it was when i first made it to show my mark and maybe improvements. Also it marks the old way i though before that changes when i decide to do chapter 3. I will honestly admit it is mostly me being lazy. But i will like maybe being able to go back and see how i did previously and how i decide to do later. In case you start reading these first 2 chapters and decide "I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY MORE" You can skip directly to chapter 3 since i will add a real quick summary there of what these first 2 chapters consisted of.( I won't blame you as quite frankly these 2 chapters are bad.) Equestria a land of sunshine, rainbows and happiness (quite literally) where the two princesses rule and raise the sun and the moon. A land where ponies are happy and enjoying their daily life. But no one knows of one existance which roams the night in silence. One night as Princess Luna was patrolling the night she had carefully made with some creativity to see if she can make a night that more of the residents will enjoy. "Hmmmmm maybe that star should go a little more to the left. And lets shift the alignment of the moon a bit to make the light a bit brighter. Ah yes that seems perfect. Now lets see if i ca...." As she was thinking of various ways to make the night sky more magnificent a sound was heard from below her cloud. She looked to see a dark creature move over the big meadow underneath her. "Oh a passerby, I will ask if they have any ideas on how the nightsky looks tonight. Maybe i can get an idea for improvements." As she was drifting down towards the shadow it suddenly stopped and looked around at her. Since there was still quite some distance and nopony was near she decided to use the Royal canterlot voice to talk to this mysterious shadow. "HAIL CITIZEN. WHAT DOST THOU THINK OF THIS BEAUTIFUL NIGHT SKY" The shadow soon after looked away and started running towards a small house near the edge of the forest. "I wonder what happened to him.... or her. Maybe it could be an idea to follow them. See if we can scare him(or her) a bit as punishment for not listening to their Princess." As the shadow got closer to the small house the small time spent made Luna able to differentiate that it was a stallion with wings who also seemingly was able to run quite fast. When the shadow reached the house it rounded one of the corners. As Luna had nearly caught up she did the same only to find that the shadow had mysteriously dissapeared completely. "Hmmm i wonder where they (easier decision than wondering if its a him or her) could have dissapeared too. Ah well the night sky won't be around for too much longer. I should head back to the castle and wait for the next night before I try to paint some more on the night sky". What the princess did not know was that every moment since she had gone around the corner the shadow had simply been observing her about 2 metres to her left along the wall of the house. When she had left the shadow melted walked silently towards the nearby forest and dissapeared in the shadows. chapter with no good name 2Authors note: If you are still reading this then i must say thank you wether you are reading it simply because or actually think this is a good story. Once again criticism is allowed. It was a early morning in the library. Spike had woken up and started preparing a breakfast for when Twilight was going to wake up. Just as he was finish plating up he heard hoofsteps from the stairs "Good morning Twilight" "Good morning Spike, what is there for a breakfast today" Twilight asked a little groggily swaying. "Just some hay sandwiches. So what is the plan for today" Spike asked hoping it wouldnt involve the library since he was a bit tired of always having to cleanup after Twilights book sessions. "Hmmm my Schedule doesn't say anything so i guess i might as well just walk around Ponyville see what everyone else in town is up to." Twilight said as she started sitting down and eating her breakfast. Spike joined in soon after with a small "YES" grin on his face. When they were finished Twilight helped Spike take the dishes away and exited out from the library. As soon as Twilight stepped out she was greeted by a light blue pegasus. "Good morning Derpy" "Good morning Twilight, here i have a letter for you. Oh and have a muffin" Ditzy doo said as she handed Twilight a letter and a muffin. "Thank you Derpy, wish you luck on your deliveries" "Thanks see you Twilight." The light blue pegasus said as she flew away to some other place. Twilight took a bite out of her muffin and opened the letter. To Twilight Sparkle. You have hearby been challenged to a duel by the Great and Powerful Trixie. We shall meet in 3 days and have one more magical duel. This time as there wont be any Ursa Majors to interfere you will see the might of the Great and Powerful Trixie. Twilight mildly facehoofed. "Trixie is coming back. Ugh hope it wont take too long for us to get rid of her this time before any of the others snap at her speaking in third person remarks and her boasting". Twilight thought for herself. As she was done thinking and eating her muffin (which had been blue berry flavoured) she started to walk through town to see if anything was happening. After a small walk around town she remebered it was still quite early and most of the residents were not awake yet. Therefor she decided she was gonna head back to the library and take a book and then sit somewhere for a while and read while waiting for the town to wake up. So she went back to the library quickly packed a saddlebag with a book about magical theories and then went out and headed for a tree somewhere where she sat down and started reading while also trying out some of the theories. One such theory being that all living creatures had a bit of magic in them. Some had ways to get this magic out of their system and use it for practical things. Others just had it bottled inside them which strentghened their bodies. One of the ways of releasing this magic was through the use of a catalyst which would let the magic be harnessed and used as the user wanted. Another way to release this magic functioner as all creatures with wings let out small amounts of magic when they flapped their wings which aided them while flying. When she was near done with the book she saw one final interesting theory. Due to the nature of magic it can be quite a challenge to both gather the power required and at the same time guide it to make it behave like you want it too. One of the popular ideas to make this easier is to have two different minds focus. one will guide the magic while the other collects it for use. But this theory is very hard to try and prove since it required the two minds to function as a whole and be in perfect sync at all times during the channeling of the spell. But in the rarevcase that somepony will succed the estimates are that the power of the spell will increase to make it more than 5 times as powerful as it would have originally been. As she was done with the book she looked up and saw it had become a bit later in the early afternoon and life seemed to appear more and more in the little town. She then decided to head to tower to get some lunch at Sugarcube Corner. As she entered the door she saw mr and ms cake taking a small relax as Pinkie Pie (oh dear this will be hard to write) was managing the counter. "Good morning Pinkie" Twilight said while she gave a small wave towards the pink pony at the counter. "Good morning Twilight" The pink mare said while waving her arm(is it an arm?, or leg?il stick with arm.) so quickly in the air that it created after images which made it look like she had 4 arms(minus the one she was not waving with) "Oh oh are you here so we can have a party" "Sorry Pinkie but im just buying lunch, Would you mind making me 2 cupcakes." "Sure thing Twilight" Pinkie said and then proceded with bouncing in to the kitched and coming out 5 seconds later with 2 cupcakes. "That will be 6 bits" "Ok thanks Pinkie" Twilight said while handing her the bits and then proceeded with eating her cupckaes( nom nom nom) While she sat down and ate the door opened and Rainbow Dash came in looking somewhat tired. "Pinkie i need 4 cupcakes and some water" "Okie dokie loki" Pinkie said and dissapeared int othe kitchen to once again comeback after 10 seconds bouncing with a tray on her head with 4 cupcakes and a glass of water on it. "That will be 13 bits." Pinkie said while at the same time Rainbow threw some bits at her Like magic Pinkie bounced and the trey flew 3 meters towards the table Rainbow sat down at without spilling any of the water and stopping right in front of Rainbow while she bounced the bits midair on her hair towars the Cash register at the counter that she suddenly popped out from underneath and open the register to let the bits just fall the their right place. How all this transpired within 2 seconds was anyones guess. But since long ago it was said that if anytime physics don't work as they are supposed to. its cause Pinkie is there and it shouldn't be questioned. The cakes who sat and relaxed behind the counter and looked away so they didn't see how Pinkie appeared from nowhere either. Rainbow proceded with eating her cupcakes(nom nom nom x4) Twilight had started explaining to her that pegasus actually used magic but since knowing wasn't gonna change how she flew she decided to just nod a bit eat quickly and then say she was going to do more practice. After they had exited the store Rainbow flew away and Twilight decided to once more walk through town to see if there was anything of interesting going on she maybe could help with. The first stop was to visit Carousel Boutique to see if Rarity had anything she might want help with. Then after that she could go to Fluttershy's cottage and see if there was anything for her to help with. After she had arrived at Carousel boutique she entered to see Rarity in full action with preparing some clothes. "Hello Rarity" "Hello Twilight, just wait a moment and let me finish this last touch. There we go" Rarity said while she was fixing up a costume. "What are you making?" "I'm preparing costumes for Nightmare night Twilight. If i start now i can make them absolutely Stunning for the night. And i have lots of time to think of precautions for protecting my Beautiful costumes." "Ok, do you need any help with that?" "Why yes but you probably cant help me until tomorrow. Im waiting for a shipment of fabric to come. They are scheduled to arrive today so tomorrow you can assist me in enchanting them to try making them dirt proof along with the other costumes." "Ok that sounds like a great idea." After a moment Twilight started thinking of the book she had previously read. "Hey Rarity while we do that would you mind assisting me in a theory of magic" "Why of course darling, what is it?" "Its a theory that if two people collaborate on a spell in perfect sync the magic will be way more powerful." "That sounds like a perfect idea. Let us try it tomorrow then" Rarity said "Now i'm going back to the costumes so they will be ready for preparation tomorrow." "Ok see you tomorrow." Oh its going to be great to try and see if we can get this working. If it works it could be a revolutionary study. since noone has done it and succeeded before Twilight though with a small grin on her face. Still with a little small smug grin on her face Twilight started walking off to Fluttershy's cottage. When she arrived she saw her yellow friend feeding the animals. "Hello Fluttershy" An "eeep" sound came from Fluttershy who had been surprised by the sudden voice. "Oh hello Twilight. You really should try to not scare ponies like that" Fluttershy said with her usual small timid voice. "Oh sorry but i have nothing on my schedule and was wondering if there was anything i could do to help you." "Thanks Twilight but everything is under control here. But you can help me feed the animals now, Take this and spread it around the chicken coop." Fluttershy said while giving Twilight a bag of animal fodder. "Ok sounds easy enough" After some time all the animals had been fed and since it was starting to become late Twilight decided to head back to the library for some good nights sleep. "Good night Spike" "Good night Twilight" *Dunk* *Dunk* *Dunk* As some noices filled the library Twilight woke up in the middle of the night and looked down to see a Shape standing in the darkness spreading some books over the floor. Chasing shadowsAuthor note(Sorry this is quite a big chunk of text): After spending a small time thinking (5 minutes of real thought rest being procrastination and school being in the way) I decided to change some things of the writing. I am leaving old chapters as they are and not editing them in anyway since it shows me how my progress was. They both keep my old mindset and the perspective i thought of writing in. My new idea is that now i will write something i think is fun to read. The other was pretty much writing for simply writings sake (didn't motivate much). Now I am going to see how to write this myself and try experimenting a bit. I may also add i am still writing on a Microsoft Text doc. Gdoc refuses to let me change language to english and i am currently away from the computer with Microsoft word. (I am also gonna give up writing it in a 2 hours session at 1am in the morning) I am also switching story teller perspective somewhat. It is now going to be somewhat a mix of 3rd pony, 1st pony and alternating between different ponies. It is clearly noticed who is being followed as i will say "xxx vision" on who might be seen from 1st perspective. Also if you do not like the story or find faults. Point them out in the commentary. By that i mean include a copy paste of the sentence it is in and mark it in red and then show me the correct word. Then i might feel like correcting it. Now I am going to stop ranting and continue with this story. Also the promised Summary in case you skipped the other chapters (Which i do not blame you for if you decided to do it): Previously on this story In the first moments we witnessed the ruler of the nights herself Princess Luna witness a shadow run into the Everfree forest near a house shaped like a tree stump. The following day Twilight walked around the village and received a challenge from Trixie on Nightmare night Then she spent a normal day in town and also read a book of magical theory. This book contained theories that letting one pony gather magic and another pony bending the magic for a spell to increase the spells power by many times the normal strength. Then after the day had passed Twilight went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night due to Noises coming from the library. ON WITH THE STORY _______________________________________________________________ Twilight vision As she started waking up from the sleep a bit more she saw very little of what was happening since the room was still dark. She made her way over to a nearby light switch and flicked it on. As she did this for a moment there was vision of the creature standing near the bookcases. It was a seemingly black looking pony like creature there looking through some books. She also noticed small glimmers from the books but she took this as illusions since she just woke up and they were gone the moment she lit. Very shortly after she lit the lighting the creature stared at her. Just as she was about to speak up to it, it started flying for some nearby open windows. Just as it exited the library she noticed that in its hooves was the very same book she had read earlier that day. As she tried to use her magic to grab the book the creature had gotten outside the window. He, She, THAT THING just stole one of the library books, I'd better chase it and get the book back. But I wonder why a pegasus would want a book on magic theory. As she too bolted outside to start chasing she came upon a thought. It is a pegasus and it has a head start. If I'm going to catch that thing I need some backup. I hope the rest of town will forgive me for ruining their beauty sleep for tonight. After that she charged a bit for the spell she was about to do. "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" Sounded a magically summoned horn. As most of the houses lit up she waited fairly shortly before a tired blue pegasus appeared in her face. "What was that for Twilight. You know it is Nightmare night soon and I need to be able to do my best jaw dropping stunts so I got to be in tiptop condition. And being awake in the middle of the night so I miss practice is not part of being in tip top condition." "Good for you then. You will get some practice right away." "What?" "Someone just stole one of the library books. The flew out of my window some moments ago and I want you to catch it and bring me back the book." "Oooh a chase. How exciting. I am already on it Twilight." were the blue pegasus final words 2as she flew away in the blink of an eye. _______________ Rainbow vision Rainbow dash flew higher in the sky to gain some altitude to easier spot things from a height. Oh this is going to be so awesome. I can see the headlights Rainbow Dash stops criminal. And how many can brag that they caught a real criminal. This might just be a stepping stone for me before I join the Wonderbolts. Okay enough fangirl for now. I have a criminal to catch. Wow it is hard to see things in the darkness. After a small while of starring in the night she noticed a small very hard to spot shadow in the distance which was running towards Fluttershy's house. "Gotcha" She exclaimed to nopony in particular as she quickly flew and landed in front of the shadow. "Hi there. Twilight would like to have her book back so we can do this the easy way which is that you give me the book now and come with me as we find a police station to report you to. Or we can do this the hard way which is you try to run and I will catch you." The shadow soon after started flying away. "Yes. Now it won't be so boring. Now to start the chase." As she flew she figured that it would be no fun in simply catching it right away so she made her speed just a little bit faster than the shadow and started chasing it. Several times she was very close to it and she was going to pretend to try and catch it and miss to let it gain some hope. After a while she had enough "Ok this has been fun but now prepare to be caught by the quickest flier in Equestria. It should be kind of an honor to be caught by me the amazing Rainbow Dash." The shadow looked to do a small shrug and accelerated a bit from its earlier speed. "Oh so you were not serious before either huh. Well two can play at that game" She said and speeded off after it. As she approached some speeds near the sonic rainboom she became a bit careful so she wouldn't become too quick and lose it since it was dark and could just hide in a shadow behind her. Just as she was getting within touching distance if the flying shadow she had time for some detail admiring. The shadow's color blended in incredibly well with the night sky and dark places on the ground. The only exception was the wings which looked sort of like the night sky bit a bit more of a brighter blue color. After taking some small notes on the appearance she was just about to grab it when suddenly the direction of the shadow did a one eighty and IT STARTED FLYING BACKWARD.(Note only the direction of travel changed. The pony is in same pose at it was when it flew forward) "What the hay" She quickly said as she once again flew after it. Due to its sudden shift in direction it had gained quite some distance between them. "You are only delaying the inevitable" Were the words she spoke just before she accelerated more and was catching up to it. But once again just as she was close to touching it, it decided to fly off into another random direction and do a perfect 90 degree turn as if it had been flying that direction all along. This chase continued for a while and finally Rainbow was getting tired. "ARGH. Enough of these shenanigans. I'm going to catch you if i so have to knock you out with a sonic rainboom." As she finished her sentence the shadow placed itself firmly in one place in the sky, making it look like it was standing on both its legs and held out it's hooves in preparations. "So you think you can take me on huh. BRING IT" Were the final words spoken by Rainbow as she backed a little to gain more space to build up speed. As she was closing in there was a weird sound every now and then "Crumble" And each one a little bit louder than before. "Crash" "Crash" "Craash" She noticed she was not able to accelerate enough for the sonic rainboom weirdly enough since something slowed her speed but she saw nothing behind her. But it would still be enough since the shadow just was there. Standing around relaxedly in the air waiting for its attacker still with the hooves out in preparation. As she got 2 meters away from the shadow all that could be heard was "DUNK" As she suddenly hit a direct stop and passed out and started falling.
chapter with no good name 1A note from me. I think im leaving this chapter as horrible as it was when i first made it to show my mark and maybe improvements. Also it marks the old way i though before that changes when i decide to do chapter 3. I will honestly admit it is mostly me being lazy. But i will like maybe being able to go back and see how i did previously and how i decide to do later. In case you start reading these first 2 chapters and decide "I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY MORE" You can skip directly to chapter 3 since i will add a real quick summary there of what these first 2 chapters consisted of.( I won't blame you as quite frankly these 2 chapters are bad.) Equestria a land of sunshine, rainbows and happiness (quite literally) where the two princesses rule and raise the sun and the moon. A land where ponies are happy and enjoying their daily life. But no one knows of one existance which roams the night in silence. One night as Princess Luna was patrolling the night she had carefully made with some creativity to see if she can make a night that more of the residents will enjoy. "Hmmmmm maybe that star should go a little more to the left. And lets shift the alignment of the moon a bit to make the light a bit brighter. Ah yes that seems perfect. Now lets see if i ca...."

As the shadow got closer to the small house the small time spent made Luna able to differentiate that it was a stallion with wings who also seemingly was able to run quite fast.

I should head back to the castle and wait for the next night before I try to paint some more on the night sky". What the princess did not know was that every moment since she had gone around the corner the shadow had simply been observing her about 2 metres to her left along the wall of the house. When she had left the shadow melted walked silently towards the nearby forest and dissapeared in the shadows.
chapter with no good name 2Authors note: If you are still reading this then i must say thank you wether you are reading it simply because or actually think this is a good story.

"Thank you Derpy, wish you luck on your deliveries" "Thanks see you Twilight." The light blue pegasus said as she flew away to some other place. Twilight took a bite out of her muffin and opened the letter. To Twilight Sparkle. You have hearby been challenged to a duel by the Great and Powerful Trixie. We shall meet in 3 days and have one more magical duel. This time as there wont be any Ursa Majors to interfere you will see the might of the Great and Powerful Trixie. Twilight mildly facehoofed. "Trixie is coming back. Ugh hope it wont take too long for us to get rid of her this time before any of the others snap at her speaking in third person remarks and her boasting".

Also the promised Summary in case you skipped the other chapters (Which i do not blame you for if you decided to do it): Previously on this story In the first moments we witnessed the ruler of the nights herself Princess Luna witness a shadow run into the Everfree forest near a house shaped like a tree stump. The following day Twilight walked around the village and received a challenge from Trixie on Nightmare night Then she spent a normal day in town and also read a book of magical theory. This book contained theories that letting one pony gather magic and another pony bending the magic for a spell to increase the spells power by many times the normal strength. Then after the day had passed Twilight went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night due to Noises coming from the library. ON WITH THE STORY _______________________________________________________________ Twilight vision As she started waking up from the sleep a bit more she saw very little of what was happening since the room was still dark. She made her way over to a nearby light switch and flicked it on. As she did this for a moment there was vision of the creature standing near the bookcases. It was a seemingly black looking pony like creature there looking through some books. She also noticed small glimmers from the books but she took this as illusions since she just woke up and they were gone the moment she lit. Very shortly after she lit the lighting the creature stared at her. Just as she was about to speak up to it, it started flying for some nearby open windows. Just as it exited the library she noticed that in its hooves was the very same book she had read earlier that day. As she tried to use her magic to grab the book the creature had gotten outside the window. He, She, THAT THING just stole one of the library books, I'd better chase it and get the book back. But I wonder why a pegasus would want a book on magic theory. As she too bolted outside to start chasing she came upon a thought. It is a pegasus and it has a head start. If I'm going to catch that thing I need some backup. I hope the rest of town will forgive me for ruining their beauty sleep for tonight. After that she charged a bit for the spell she was about to do. "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" Sounded a magically summoned horn. As most of the houses lit up she waited fairly shortly before a tired blue pegasus appeared in her face. "What was that for Twilight. You know it is Nightmare night soon and I need to be able to do my best jaw dropping stunts so I got to be in tiptop condition. And being awake in the middle of the night so I miss practice is not part of being in tip top condition." "Good for you then. You will get some practice right away." "What?" "Someone just stole one of the library books. The flew out of my window some moments ago and I want you to catch it and bring me back the book." "Oooh a chase. How exciting. I am already on it Twilight." were the blue pegasus final words 2as she flew away in the blink of an eye. _______________ Rainbow vision Rainbow dash flew higher in the sky to gain some altitude to easier spot things from a height. Oh this is going to be so awesome. I can see the headlights Rainbow Dash stops criminal. And how many can brag that they caught a real criminal. This might just be a stepping stone for me before I join the Wonderbolts. Okay enough fangirl for now. I have a criminal to catch. Wow it is hard to see things in the darkness. After a small while of starring in the night she noticed a small very hard to spot shadow in the distance which was running towards Fluttershy's house. "Gotcha" She exclaimed to nopony in particular as she quickly flew and landed in front of the shadow. "Hi there. Twilight would like to have her book back so we can do this the easy way which is that you give me the book now and come with me as we find a police station to report you to. Or we can do this the hard way which is you try to run and I will catch you." The shadow soon after started flying away. "Yes. Now it won't be so boring. Now to start the chase." As she flew she figured that it would be no fun in simply catching it right away so she made her speed just a little bit faster than the shadow and started chasing it. Several times she was very close to it and she was going to pretend to try and catch it and miss to let it gain some hope. After a while she had enough "Ok this has been fun but now prepare to be caught by the quickest flier in Equestria. It should be kind of an honor to be caught by me the amazing Rainbow Dash." The shadow looked to do a small shrug and accelerated a bit from its earlier speed. "Oh so you were not serious before either huh. Well two can play at that game" She said and speeded off after it. As she approached some speeds near the sonic rainboom she became a bit careful so she wouldn't become too quick and lose it since it was dark and could just hide in a shadow behind her. Just as she was getting within touching distance if the flying shadow she had time for some detail admiring. The shadow's color blended in incredibly well with the night sky and dark places on the ground. The only exception was the wings which looked sort of like the night sky bit a bit more of a brighter blue color. After taking some small notes on the appearance she was just about to grab it when suddenly the direction of the shadow did a one eighty and IT STARTED FLYING BACKWARD.(Note only the direction of travel changed. The pony is in same pose at it was when it flew forward) "What the hay" She quickly said as she once again flew after it. Due to its sudden shift in direction it had gained quite some distance between them. "You are only delaying the inevitable" Were the words she spoke just before she accelerated more and was catching up to it. But once again just as she was close to touching it, it decided to fly off into another random direction and do a perfect 90 degree turn as if it had been flying that direction all along. This chase continued for a while and finally Rainbow was getting tired. "ARGH. Enough of these shenanigans. I'm going to catch you if i so have to knock you out with a sonic rainboom." As she finished her sentence the shadow placed itself firmly in one place in the sky, making it look like it was standing on both its legs and held out it's hooves in preparations. "So you think you can take me on huh. BRING IT" Were the final words spoken by Rainbow as she backed a little to gain more space to build up speed. As she was closing in there was a weird sound every now and then "Crumble" And each one a little bit louder than before. "Crash" "Crash" "Craash" She noticed she was not able to accelerate enough for the sonic rainboom weirdly enough since something slowed her speed but she saw nothing behind her. But it would still be enough since the shadow just was there. Standing around relaxedly in the air waiting for its attacker still with the hooves out in preparation. As she got 2 meters away from the shadow all that could be heard was "DUNK" As she suddenly hit a direct stop and passed out and started falling.
