Return of Nightmare Moon

Wind made it to the throne room in no time at all. Since she was made head of the royal guard, she'd gotten the layout of the castle pretty effeciently. As she entered the throne room, she noticed two things. One, there was a huge hole in the roof and two, there was a guard laying on the floor. She ran over and propped the guard with her arm.

"What happened here?" She asked as the guard coughed.

"It was N-N..." The guard started as he began coughing again.

"Out with it soldier!" She yelled.

"It was Nightmare Moon!" The guard shouted.

"What!? How?" Wind asked.

"I don't know. Princess Luna just began getting hostile to all of us and she became Nightmare Moon." The guard said.

"This doesn't make sense. My mother and her friends destroyed the nightmare moon energy with the elements like forever ago." Wind said.

"I don't understand it either." The guard said.

"There has to be an explanation..." Wind said as she trailed off.

"Discord! I bet he had something to do with this. Rest now, soldier, you performed your duty well." Wind said as she got up and headed back out to the gravesite.

"Discord!" She shouted as she landed in front of the grave.

He was still sitting on the tombstone, but, Scootaloo had already left.

"Everything alright at your castle?" He asked.

Wind grabbed him by the throat.

"What do you know about the return of Nightmare Night?" Wind asked as she put a little pressure on his throat.

"Perhaps I can shed some light on your little plight." Someone said from behind Wind.

She turned to see Zecora standing there with a handful of flowers.

"Zecora? What are you doing here?" Wind asked.

"Just paying my respects some friends that were wrongfully hexed. I wish to help you, but first, I must pay my dues." Zecora said as she walked past Wind and placed the flowers on the grave.

"Now, about your Nightmare Moon problem. I found this book last autumn." Zecora said as she took a black book tied together with string out of her bag and handed it to Wind.
