Return of Nightmare Moon

Wind awoke in what appeared to be a twisted version of the Everfree Forest. She stood up and found that her swords were gone. She looked around, but, only saw trees shrouded by darkness. She heard a noise that sounded like someone running by in the darkness.

"I know you're there. Show yourself!" Wind yelled.

A flash of black came from between two of the trees and landed in front of her. As she watched, a crouched figure in black armor stood up in front of her. Wind recognized her immediately.

"Luna?" Wind asked.

She nodded.

"We haven't much time, Wind. This realm you're in is not real. It's a false landscape created by this assassin. You must escape if you are to defeat Nightmare Moon." Luna said hastily.

"But, how am I supposed to do that? My swords are non-existent here." Wind replied.

"Here, use my sword. It is immune to any kind of mental or dream magic, also, if you have the strength, it will grant you an additional ability that only those who have the ability to enter people's minds can possess. Please, hurry. I don't know how long I can keep jumping from dream to dream to avoid the nightmare mist's influence." Luna said as drove a sword into the ground in front of her and disappeared.

Wind grabbed the sword and looked it over. It was made out of black steel and had Luna's symbol engraved into the blade. The trees behind her parted.

"Come and find me, little one. I will enjoy breaking your mind. I do so love making those who claim to have no fears cringe." A voice said from the distance.

"Bite me. Stronger ponies than you have tried and failed." Wind taunted as she proceeded through the trees.

As she walked she could hear something moving around in the darkness, stalking her. She continued, expecting to be jumped by anything that could possibly lurk in the forest. After a few minutes of walking, she saw a clearing up ahead. She proceeded cautiously into the clearing and looked around. It was a dead end. The trees that surrounded the clearing were too thickly packed together to pass through. She turned around to head back the way she came, but, it was closed up with more thickly packed trees. She heard a laugh echo around the clearing.

"Well, I hope you're comfortable. This is the last place you will ever see. Your mind will break and your body will be left comatose in the physical world." The voice said.

"Show yourself, you coward!" Wind yelled.

"If you insist." The voice said as a figure emerged from the trees and approached her.

It was the unicorn from before. She still had on the same assassin's robe. She looked up and stared Wind in the eyes. Her eyes unnerved Wind, they were two different colors. One was an unnatural shade of green and the other was blood red. The unicorn quickly whipped off her robe.
