Chapter 5: The Confrontation and the Truth
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPrincess Celestia finished her third slice of cake. She then decided to go check on Princess Luna. Celestia got up from the table and began to walk down the Hallway Luna left, not knowing what trouble Luna was currently in.

Meanwhile Princess Luna was confronting Grogar, about what he said. Luna spoke back with full aggression, "Thou dare speakth his name to us!!" now speaking in full Royal Canterlot voice.
"Temper, temper, Luna," Grogar said, as he giggled,
"Thou will leave us alone, NOW!!!!" Luna was now yelling at the dark blue goat.
But Grogar just stood unfazed, as he stared back at her. Then he spoke back with malicious in his voice, "You threaten me, I have lived for far more millenniums then both you and Celestia combined, I have lived long enough to see the far distant future become the long forgotten past, and have been there to write plenty of it myself,"
"So don't you dare assume that your threats faze me, I am here to complete the deal that your husband made at the end of the Wedding," Grogar said, as his words stabbed at Luna like knifes. "the Deal was to bring you back from the dead, when you were killed during the Wedding, when Prince Blood Diamond thew his blade at your soon to be husband, and you jumped in the way of the blade," Grogar stepped forward, "After that your husband killed Prince Blood Diamond, and use the prince's life force to bring you back from the dead, but he needed somepony or some goat to open the door to the other side to pull you out, so he could place Prince Blood Diamond in your place,".
Princess Luna was not going to hear this any longer as she grabbed a nearby knife and charged at him. Luna swung the the knife over and over. But some how Grogar instantly knew when she grabbed it and dodge every attack. Luna tried in vain to hit him, but it did not matter for he would dodge it no matter how fast she swung. Luna was getting tired by the minute, with each swing some how making her weaker. As their battle led outside. It seem like there was nopony else around and nopony to help her. Luna felt alone in her fight against Grogar. But then the battle got worse as she was now having a hard time keeping her eyes open, and then.

The area slowly started to change, as Princess Luna was now swinging a blade, and fighting what she assumed was still Grogar, as she was now in a new room as it went dark. It got so dark that it was getting hard to see Grogar's face. Luna fought long and far before she realized that the movement of the enemy were now different and now seem more familiar. Luna knock the enemy back, and use her magic to light up the room. Luna's face darken in terror as she realized who she was now fighting. Luna knew this fighting style all to well, for the one she was now fighting was her beloved husband, "No, not this memory," Luna spoke with utter terror in her voice.
"But Luna this is the Memory of when you learned the truth about the Deal and realized your Husband was to far gone, in his madness," said the voice, the same voice from that other dream,
"No it wasn't like that," Luna said, in almost tears,
"What do you mean? He didn't love you no more," the voice replied,
"No he always loved me, and I loved him," Luna replied, as she fought, while regretting each attack.
"Then why were you fighting him," said the Voice,
"Because this is just a dream, nothing more, no matter what I did, it was not going to change the way the battle ended," Luna said with full tears,
"You mean you would not want to do things differently in the end," said the Voice,
"Of course there are so many things I would wanted to change," said Luna,
"Then why not make things different, why not let him live, instead of killing him," said the Voice,
"Because he wanted to finish the deal, and the curse needed to end," said Luna,
"You think you saved him by killing him, don't you Luna," said the Voice,
"No, but at least this way I did not have to hate him," said Luna,
"Hate him," said the Voice,
"The Deal was in exchange for Grogar resurrecting me from the dead, my beloved had to complete a mission fifty years later, he never told me what it was until, Grogar got impatient on waiting and threaten the children, then my beloved had to complete the deal, and that's when he told me," said Luna, as she continued the battle,
"And did you agree," said the Voice,
"Of course not, deal was to either let any and all children of our bloodline become part of Grogar's immortal army, or kill my sister, both I could not do, but he was willing to kill my sister," said Luna,
"So why did he choose to kill your sister?" said the Voice,
"I don't know why," said Luna,
"You want know the truth, because he loved you," said the Voice,
"What?" Luna said, with confusion as battle came to it end. Her husband was now at the far end of the room with a blade ready.
"He fought, knowing full well what choice had to be made, that if he killed your children, you would never forgive him, but if he killed Celestia, your hate would only last for so long," said the Voice,
"What?" said Luna,
"And he was going to wait for you, to forgive him," said the Voice,
"Why would I forgive him?" said Luna,
"Because he believed in the that the love between you and him, would be gone but not forgotten, and whether it took thousands years or millions years, he would wait forever, for you to forgive him," said the Voice, as the image of her husband charged forward,
"He would wait, for me," said Luna,
"Yes, but throughout all of this, there was another choice he could have made, that you can make now," said the Voice,
"What? Tell me," said Luna,
"I will, but first I think this battle should end differently don't you think so," said the Voice,
"I would but this is but a dream, and not real, there is nothing I can do to change it," said Luna,
"But there is, just let it go," said the Voice, as if it was pointing at the blade that she was holding, Luna then dropped the blade,
And with that her husband reach the end of the battle where Luna was to kill him. But this time Luna just simply wrapped her wings around him, just he use to do. And instead of killing him, she held him close. As they pull in for a kiss.

As Princess Celestia reach the Kitchen. Her face was fill with horror as the place was now covered in Blood. And a large blood trail the lead to the Everfree Forest. Celestia followed the trail as quickly as she could, hoping that Luna was okay.
Meanwhile Princess Luna snapped out of the dream. Only to find herself in the Castle of the Two Sisters. Luna found herself in a strange room she had never seen before. Which was strange, because she knew the Castle inside and out. But strangest was yet to happen, for in front of her was a Sacrificial Altar, and chained to it was Grogar.
