Prologue: Adjusting to the New Time

Princess Luna arrives back in Canterlot, after being gone for one thousand years. At first she wanted to find out more about the six that saved her? But her sister Princess Celestia told her that the truth about them will be revealed soon enough. So Luna no longer pestered about it.

Princess Luna soon entered the main Castle. The Castle was covered with luxurious marble, there was marble pillars topped with golden designs, and there was flags hanging from the ceiling. Luna was in awe of how the main castle had changed over the thousand years she had been gone. Celestia wanted Luna to find out all that happen while she was gone. "Sister I want you to see as much as you can, for you have a lot that you have missed since you been gone," said Princess Celestia with a lot enthusiasm to have her sister back.

"Wow, so this is the legendary Princess Luna, I am so happy to finally meet you," an unknown voice spoke from the distance,

Princess Luna looked in confusion as another Alicorn princess appeared. The Alicorn princesses was unknown to Princess Luna for she had originally assumed that her and Princess Celestia were the only two Alicorn princess left. "Who are thou," said Luna, as she approached the Alicorn. The Alicorn was not very tall and just by looking at her, Luna could figure out that this Alicorn was no full blood, so she had to be an Ascended Alicorn. The Alicorn had a pink coat and yellow, pink, and purple mane.

"Luna this is our niece, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza," said Celestia,

"Actually I prefer you call me Princess Cadence," said Cadence, as she did not like the Royal name that much.

"Our niece? are thou a descendant of our lineage, or our sister lineage," Luna said, leaving Cadence in confusion to the question, to which Princess Celestia quickly answered.

"Actually sister, she is not descended from either of our bloodlines, she is a descendant of our cousin, Golden William," said Celestia, as the three princess went to private chambers to talk.

"Oh Golden William, second son of King Emerald Teal, our uncle, well we guess it is good to meet thou, thou ancestor Golden William always had a big heart, that sometimes rivaled the lovingness of the previous wielder of the Crystal Heart," said Luna, as they entered the room,

"You knew the previous wielder of the Crystal Heart?" Cadence said, as they sat on pillows,

"Well yes....he..... was.... my....." Luna said slowly,

"Well actually Luna does not like to talk about him, too many painful memories," Celestia said quickly,

"Oh sorry, I forgot the stories," Cadence said,

"Stories?" Luna said in confusion,

"Yeah there have been several stories about the times you and Celestia had when you two ruled together," Cadence said,

"Is there any stories about the Crystal Heart, and it's wielder?" Luna said, with curiosity

"No not really, that’s why I ask you, because well my cutie mark is the Crystal Heart, so I have always wanted to know more about it," said Cadence.

"Well we are sorry it’s not the memory of him that we want to forget just how....his....life....ended," Luna said as tears started to form,

"Luna it is okay, that was over a thousand years ago," Celestia said, as she tried to calm her sister. Then Princess Celestia thought for a moment and then said something else to get things off subject, "Well enough of the past, how about some cake,"

"That a wonderful idea! Hey aunt Luna I have always wondered," said Cadence said with raised brow and smirk.

"What is it?" Luna said, as she cleared her eyes,

"Is you appetite for cake as big as aunt Celestia’s," Cadence said really fast,

"Cadence!! I don't have a big appetite for cake, I just like eating it," said Celestia with slight offence, to which Luna just giggled.

"No I don't have a large appetite for cake, but I do enjoy it, just not as much as ice cream," Luna said with another giggle.

"Oh, you like ice cream?" Cadence said,

They sent a servant to get some cake and some ice cream. Meanwhile they continued to talk.

Later Princess Luna left with Princess Celestia to see the Equestria Guard. While walking through the Equestria Guard living area, Luna could not help but noticed how there was no longer a Batpony Guard. There was a Pegasus Guard, a Unicorn Guard, and an Earth pony Guard, but no Batpony Guard.

With Princess Luna’s return, the Batpony Guard could now be reestablished. But new recruits were needed. Luckily there were already some batponies in the Canterlot armies. In particular, a powerful General named, Nightflare Redstar, and a Captain named, Brood Gem. But of course more was needed, so a call was sent out all across Equestria.

This caught the attention of adventure seeking, risk taking, batpony named, Jack Nox. A dark purple batpony, with green mane, and barcode cutie mark. Most thought it was crazy for him to join. Being that although he was beyond brilliant in knowledge; to the point that when he was young, his father got him into the best schools, where met some of the most brilliant young minds out there, like Twilight Sparkle and Moondancer; Jack Nox had only limited knowledge about battle.

With the Batpony Guard being reestablished. There was now need more recruits needed for the Pegasus Guard. So a call was sent out all across Equestria. This caught the attention of a Pegasus named Flash Sentry. He was a yellow Pegasus, with a blue mane, and a cutie mark of a shield with lightning going through it. Flash Sentry wanted in the Pegasus Guard, because he wanted to protect everypony.
