     "Hmm... It's like this old wolf died." Celestia was standing over Grey's grave with a smile on her face.

                       "Maybe he would like to join us?" alicorn asked herself.

Black, magic ash surrounded her green horn, which was white only few weeks ago.The aura lit up the wolf's body. Celestia put out her horn and waited.

                     "What it's going on, why did he not wake up?"  The alicorn asked in surprise a few minutes later.

The magical ash covered her green horn and Grey's grave again for a few seconds.

                     "You stupid, lazy," she yelled during the third try, however her black magic and her insults didn't work.

Celestia didn't want give up, the grave lit up the small pile of earth again and again.

               "Szto do you want?!"someone shouted behind Celestia. The alicorn turned around and gasped in shock. Glow covered the wolf as bright as the moon's light.

            "Szto do you want?" wolf slowly repeated.

Celestia shook her head.

                 "I want your soul, is it too much?" she smiled and lit her horn.

Grey started laughing.

             "Do you think, that you can go whenever you want and take whatever you want," he said, but Celestia ignored his words.

She'll give him a part of her new power and this spirit will be under control.

            "Come on! What are you waiting for?" mocked wolf.

Celestia put more power into her horn. She knelt down, her head felt like it was about to blow up and her eyes began to sting.

          "What, is... going on?" she moaned.   The alicorn stopped using her magic. The wolf started laughing.

              "What?!" Celestia exclaimed in anger

Grey was laughing for a few minutes.

          "Do you have your black magic book?" he asked calmly.

Celestia nodded and took her book from her bag. The book flew into Grey's paw.

        "You know... you are the dumbest pony I've ever met," he said, and suddenly the book started burning.

The fallen princess jumped into Grey's direction, but something raised her into the air.

        "Tell me. Do you really believe, that this "wild power" exist?" wolf asked very calm.

The alicorn didn't answer. She tried to escape, but this wolf was too powerful.

               "What is going on?" she asked fearfully.

Grey snorted.

               "Think. At least now."

Celestia was quiet. Grey raised his arms and took deep breath.

            "You are really dumb," he said with a resignation in his voice.

         “Look, wild powers don't exist. It never do.  Your "Changing Spell" or something like that is bullshit. In this world we have five kinds of magic: Friendship, Power of Love, Solar Power, Lunar Power and... Dark Magic. I think, you were the worst student in the school  if you didn't know that wolves and other "evil creatures" only use dark powers, got it?"

       The solar alicorn tried say something, but she couldn't.

Grey cleared his throat.

          "I think you do. So now, maybe you will ask me, ‘who the hell am I?’ " The wolf bared his teeth, "I'm sorry, but I have bad news for you. You are talking with the most powerful wolf of the North Region."

Celestia gulped and opened her eyes wide.

             "What?! A wolf is the most powerful creature there?! Impossible, You lie!" She shouted, Wolf sighed.

               "Then. I'll show you." he smiled as wide as he could and flame blew from his eyes

        "I'll show you the worst nightmares of your life," he said again, but his voice was different. Like the lord of the underworld was in his heart. "Your scream will branch off through the darkest worlds. Your soul will suffer for centuries."

Celestia lost her mind. When she woke up, she was tied to a pole in a middle of... what was this place? There was nothing but fog. Suddenly somepony walked out from the grey mass. It was..

          "Luna?!" Celestia yelled surprise and fear.

The Princess of the Night didn't answer. The blue alicorn stood very close to Celestia.

               "Sister?" asked the white alicorn unsure. Still nothing.

        ‘Sister, I miss you. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Suddenly, Celestia heard a small voice inside her head crying.

I wish I could be with you. I want to come back, for this moon is so empty.

Luna, who stood in front of the  Solar Princess, lost one of her hairs.

Celestia... sister... please, don't leave me,this place is so cold. I said I was sorry! Why don't you want me to come back!?

Another hair fell down.

Sister. Come on! the skies are so beautiful at night! Come on! No? Why? But... you promised. You promised me. I don't want to watch the fallen stars alone. Please... sister

More memories and blue hairs were falling down.

               "Please! Stop!" screamed Celestia, but the whispers became only louder.

Soon Luna lost all of her hair. Her face had a lot of scars and wrinkles. Her eyes... have gone.

Why did you take this power?! WHY! Nevermind... Again I lost you, did I even find my sister? I don't know. All you wanted was more, more and more of power... and now? I'm alone. Again...

The face of the lunar alicorn become... she looked like... a death. Her skin disappeared and only bare bones were in front of the solar pony.

Celestia started to crying.

           "PLEASE, STOP! I can't stand this any longer! Please..."

However, the nightmare didn't end. Celestia gazed at her sister's skull. Suddenly, the skull started to scream a loud, not normal, squeaky scream. The fallen princess tried to cover her ears, but she was tied up so she began to jerk.

At last everything disappeared. Luna and the fog. Celestia was alone again. She was tired and broken.

Grey slowly appeared from the darkness. The alicorn was still tied to a pole. She raised her terrified, tired eyes at the wolf.

        "Please. Let me go," she whispered.

Wolf smiled.

         "Oh no my dear, not so fast. We have a whole night to fun. Your nightmares have just begun," and Grey disappeared.

        "NO! nooo... please. I'm sorry. It's all my fault," cried Celestia.

       "You know, I don't care. Maybe it's your fault, maybe not. It's only a revenge for my friends, which you sentenced to an endless condemnation," said the wolf from nowhere.
