Tragedies and Nightmares
Chapter 3: Lies and Secrets
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPrincess Luna woke up from the dreams screaming. Meanwhile Princess Celestia stopped eating her meal when she heard Luna screaming. Celestia ran from the table as quickly as she could. Celestia made her way up the stairs and down the hallway to Luna's room. Only to realize that Luna had put a Magical Block on the door. Celestia broke the Magical Block over the door and ran in to see what was wrong. "Luna what is it? Tell me, Why are you screaming? Luna," said Celestia as she ran over to calm Luna.
"Tia it was horrible, I was siting there and you were dead, and I was so scared," Luna said, as she was covered in tears.
Celestia walked over on to the bed, and wrapped her wings around Luna, and said, "It's okay Luna it was just a nightmare, I am not going to die,". Princess Luna just fell into Princess Celestia's wings, and cried for the longest time. "It okay, I will always be here for you," said Celestia, as she held Luna close. Meanwhile the lighting and shadows seem to slowly revert back to their original positions, and were no longer retreating from Luna. Luna eventually stop crying.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna finally left the room and made their way down stairs. Luna had totally forgotten about Grogar being back, it would not effect too much to Celestia as she did not that in the past, Luna's husband had dealings with Grogar. Since it apparently was still morning, Luna went back to eat her breakfast. Celestia decided tell Luna more about treaties that were being signed with the Zebras, and how they will soon be able access the new spells from other countries. As Celestia talked, Luna couldn't help but notice how sleepy she still was. Trying her best to keep her eyes open. But with in a blink of an eye.

Princess Luna looked as she was now in a different room, this was not the dining room in the Canterlot's Main Castle. But was instead it was the beautiful Dining Room of her beloved husband's luxurious beautiful Castle in the Kingdom they use to rule together as King and Queen. The Table look glorious with lit red candles and beautiful designs adorn the table. And on the other side of this beautiful table sat not Celestia, but Luna's beloved husband. Luna gasped, as she saw her and her husband were sitting across from each other enjoying a beautiful dinner of her favorite dish, and her favorite wine, like they use to back then before he went mad. Luna was finally happy, a moment she could enjoy for longest time. But then......

Princess Luna was snapped out of her daydream as Celestia said, "Luna, Luna, Luna!!"
"What is it Tia?" said Luna, as she tried to snap out of her daze.
"Are you sure your okay? You just seem off, since having that Nightmare," said Celestia, in a caring voice.
"There's NOTHING to worry about," said Luna, as she got slightly annoyed.
"How about you talk about it? How did the nightmare start?" said Celestia,
"I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!!" Luna yelled, in anger as she tried to hide her shame for having such an evil dream. Luna had a hard enough time talking about the fact, that she had a nightmare of her sister's death. But Luna would have even harder time to tell her sister of the very naughty dream she had just moments before the nightmare.
"FINE, can you at least tell me why there was a Magical Block over the door?" Celestia said, with slightly less calmer than normal tone, then what she usually spoke with. Unfortunately Luna was to scared from the nightmare to recall why she put a Magical Block on the door. So Luna just sat quietly as she tried to finish her meal.
Princess Celestia signed, she was worried for her sister. Luna had been getting distant ever since her husband died. Celestia was worried that Luna would push herself so far away from everypony, that Luna would lose herself. Celestia knew the feeling of loss of a love since not but, fifty-three years ago Celestia was forced to seal her own first love, Discord. And the years later Celestia was force to deal with a similar problem to what Luna had gone through. When Celestia second love and first husband went mad trying to make himself immortal. Only to disappear and presumed dead more than a month later.

The two Princesses simply sat there in silence as they finished their meals and then had some cake afterwords as Princess Celestia always did. Both had a magical Alicorn power call WLP, which was an Alicorn exclusive ability to keep their weight at normal levels without needing much of a workout, so they didn't mind to have the occasional slice of cake, after a meal, especially Princess Celestia. But Princess Luna didn't feel up to eating cake today, so she decided to go for a walk to try and wake herself up.

Meanwhile Grogar was still in disguise traveling down the Catacombs of the old Canterlot Castle that the current Canterlot City was built over. Grogar made his way down, down, to the Catacombs till he found the Crystal Caves, that was created by an old ally of his, for a different still unknown plan. "I still have no idea why he made these caves, oh well at least nopony can bother us here,"
Grogar step into the Crystal Cave and found a good spot to sit and talk with his new unseen ally. Grogar talked about his sick, twisted plan and speaking to what seem like nothing there in front of him. "So it seem my plan has taken root and Luna shall become a better host for you soon, since originally you could take over her during her most primal urges, such as lust, like during the times you were with her husband, and fear, like when you "helped" her "stop" her husband's tyranny,"
"The most twisted part is that neither of them would remember the events to begin with, but now that the floodgates are open, she shall slowly start to dream of the moments she has had with her husband whether they are real memories or false memories, and especially the ones you have had," Grogar said with a twisted grin.
"Just remember that once you have complete control over Princess Luna, that you keep your end of the deal, and once that is done I shall resurrect her husband for you to control in any sick or twisted way you choose, just make sure you finish the Deals that even He could not complete, and I am not just talking about the ones that she knew about I talking about the ones that Luna would rather forget," Grogar finished with an evil insidious laugh.
