It's been three weeks and the alicorn filly named Dusk, as said by Luna, has grown at a rapid pace. Stopping just before, in normal ponys year what whould be seven years old. Many times Luna would take Dusk to her garden, and show her the constilations, and the moon, and name every flower there was.

She was extremly happy, this filly was her own, not other pony's, her's. Everytime Dusk called her 'Mama' she could feel her heart grow even more atached to the filly, her filly, her precious little star.  And as it was Luna started to reposed the stars in the night sky again, and after a week of this and little Dusk, she was the happist mare alive. And Luna would never, ever, let anypony hurt her, as long as she lived, and that was going to be a long time.

Luna was in the garden with Dusk who was playing with a small green flower and nibbling on it, Luna arched her neck back to look at the stars, only to find them in a formation she didnt set them in, a daisy if she had to guess. She tapped Dusk's horn with her own, signaling for her to look up. But when Dusk looked up, Luna saw her horn aglow with a gray aroura, she looked up again only to see a heart made out of stars.

Dusk giggled in complete glee while Luna was puzzeled, it took the avrage alicorn nine years to learn the spell's and Dusk learned in seconds. A blinding glow radiated of of Dusk, and on her flank was her cutie mark made of three stars that splayed out, and behind the stars a crecent moon hid in the background. Dusk sqeaked in complete glee, and hopped around Luna, her small wings giving her a small boost everytime she jumped.

She finaly landed in front of her and beamed up at her, "Did you see it Mama, huh, did you Mama?" She asked, her words allowing a wave of joy to spill out and flood Luna in joy. She smiled at Dusk, who was looking at her expectantly, "Yes my little star" she crooned as she spread one of her enormous wings, Dusk scurred under it and snugged near her coat. Luna laughed as she tucked her wing around her and nuzzled her, Dusk nuzzled back befor yawning and laying her head on Luna's foreleg.

She yawned again "I love you mama" she whispered before her eyes slid shut, and her breaths became deeper and steadied. Luna took a momount to cherish her little Dusk sleeping ,before she closed her own eye's and when she reopened them she was in the hallway between all of the sleeping ponys in equestria, she troted between doors untill she reached Dusk's. She opened it and floated in her hoofs landing on castle marble, she saw Dusk but the sight was terrifying.

Dusk was laughing, but she wasnt Dusk, her form changed from a fillies to nightmare moon's. Her eyes shone a deep silver, her coat was a bluish gray, and her mane was floating like Luna's and Celestia's at the base was a golden but faded into a dark navy blue, extremly close to black. But what scared Luna the most was her position, she had a menicing smile of wolflike teeth. Discord layed under her hooves washing her silver sandels and the blood diamonds that were embeded in them, Queen chrysalis was buzzing around in a maid's outfit and carring a feather duster, dusting everything she could reach.

And King Sombra was sitting on a bed ment for a dog wearing a dog collor with purple crystals embeded in it, and was eating a daisy salad out of a bowl with his name on it. Obove her was a gold bird cage in it was Celestia, she was wearing a ring on her horn and the same kind of ring on each of her wings, keeping her from doing anything. A large hamster cage was against the wall near Sombra inside was the mane six and Cadence and Shinning Armor.

Each waring the the rings where they were needed, and Luna herself was on a cat bed playing with a ball of yarn, each of them had a specific place where they would sleeep. And all of them had one thing in common all of them had a collar, each personalised to their personalities, but all of them were wearing one nonetheless. Luna was backpedaling away from the horrific dream and galloped away, wings forgotten momentarily before barreling through the dream door, and back into reality.

Luna nearly screamed when she entered her own body again, her head snapped to the right to make sure Dusk was still there. She sighed in relief when Dusk snorted lightly in her sleep, before suppressing a tremour she was terrified, not only about what her daughter would turn into, more about what she could do  if she got that power.

That second, she took an oath to do everything in her power, to never let that dream happen.
