Polishing a diamond
Prologue
Offer of a new life.

Adagio Dazzle walked down the road holding a sign asking for any kind of help in one hand, a bag of cans in the other, her Purple sweater was torn and stained and her hair hung limp from a week of not being washed, she made her way into the parking lot of the Apartment she staying in and began the long climb up the cold iron stairs. Soon she reach her apartment, but as she went to reach into her pocket for her keys she noticed a memo on her door, it was in plain white stationary and attached to the door by tape.

Attention tenant,

your payment is a week overdue any further delinquency on your part will result in eviction from the premise.

Canterlot city apartments.

She looked down at her shoes as she began to cry.

"As if things could get any worse... I'm on skid row, those loser sisters of my drive me nuts and now I might be homeless.” She unlocks the door and slams it behind her throwing the cans down in front of it, walking to the fridge through her kitchen. The remnants of her last meal a week ago still sat there a reminder to the hungry young woman that she had no food, she took a deep breath holding her stomach as it ached in hunger and she snapped.

“I hate this!” She shrieked throwing her chair across the room breaking it into kindling. “Why, Why does nothing go my way!” She broke down in sobs collapsing to the floor, looking toward the ceiling as if praying to a deity.“I just wish for once, the things I plan could go the way I want them to.” The young girl began to beat the floor, her knuckles soon aching as she made no headway against the cement floor barely padded by stained threadbare carpet, soon exhausting her strength she looked toward her bedroom, sensing something strange.

“Equestrian magic....?” She choked staring at the ever brightening light until the door opened blinding her a figure walking through the light and towards her, and once the light faded she seen it was someone she recognized.

“Hello Adagio.” Said the person

“Vice-Principal Luna?” She Asked confused as to why the Vice-Principal of Canterlot high would been doing appearing through what seemed to be a portal to another world.

“Is that what I’m called here?” Luna giggled in an amused tone as she tried to get used to walking on two legs, and Adagio stood up looking confused.

“I am confused?” Said Adagio looking at the indigo skinned woman who simply smiled.

“I am Princess Luna... Princess of the night and guardian of the realm of dreams.” Luna explained through quickly became shocked as Adagio's face turned red and showed pure anger.

“You’re like Princess Twilight Sparkle, a pony from Equestria, This is all her fault!” She screamed as she started towards Luna, her hands balled into fists.

Luna smiles and continues “is it? or perhaps the mistakes you made in the past has made others to judge you by your actions....” She spoke slowly and calmly looking the enraged woman straight in the eyes who looked down, disarmed by the sudden deep question, and she began thinking on it, soon answering.

“I.... I don’t know.” She looked confused and conflicted as Luna reached over and touched her face softly, she smiled and waved her hand causing the door to open and the light to return.

“Now... Adagio.... the door to light has opened... and now you are judged... You have a decision to make.. If you believe you've lost everything and want nothing more then I shall leave, but if you have still a ounce of passion to see there's a bright side then say."I have accepted myself and be at your mercy, Princess Luna." then we shall move on..... the choice must be made here and now.” Luna explained watching as Adagio stared at her in wonder.

This... this is nuts, but what do I have to lose, My sisters and I don't see eye to eye and if things don’t change soon.... I’m sure to starve to death, if I’m not driven to end the pain first. However if I take this offer and go with her, I’ll live and maybe even have a chance to make Equestria mine and mine alone. “I have accepted myself and be at your mercy Princess Luna.” She says bowing before Luna, Luna stands back from the door nodding.

“Then enter the light Adagio, and into your new Life.” Luna Smiles as she and Adagio exit the human world through the portal
