Return of Nightmare Moon

Luckily, the address wasn't far from the castle. It was a large cobblestone apartment building. They found the right one and knocked on the door. There was no answer. Wind turned the knob and found that it was unlocked. They entered and found that the room was completely black. Wind flipped the light switch and the room lit up. As the light kicked on, a guy dressed in a navy blue polo, black jeans, a pair of black reading glasses, and a black and white fedora attacked her with a baseball bat. Instinctively, Wind caught the bat and snatched it from his hands. She then ran her fist into his stomach. He collapsed onto the ground, coughing. Wind dropped the bat and helped him to his feet as she apologized. After he caught his breath, he led them to a dining room table and brought out some tea. Wind began to question him.

"Are you Quill Write?" She asked.

"Yes. I am indeed." He said as he took a sip from a cup of tea.

"What can you tell us about this?" Wind asked as she slid the book across the table to him.

He picked it up and looked it over.

"Ah, yes. I remember this. Celestia had me write down my prophecies in this book." He replied.

"What happened? The book just stops after Nightmare Moon returns." Wind said.

"Well, that's as far as I got before Celestia quit listening to me." He said.

"What happened?" Wind asked.

"Well, after I made my prediction about the overlord, Celestia refused to believe that anyone would be able to defeat her army and the elements of harmony. So, she revoked my royal oracle status. At that point I proceeded to move away from Ponyville. I knew what was coming and that the only safe haven would be here in the Crystal Empire, protected by Cadence's magic." He replied.

"I found your journal in your old house in Ponyville. What happened to your family?" Wind asked.

He looked down at his cup of tea and frowned deeply.

"Well, I tried to convince my wife to come with me. But, like Celestia, she refused to believe me. I had no choice but to leave Trixie and our newborn son in Ponyville." He replied.

"Wait. Trixie? As in 'the great and powerful' Trixie?" Shadow asked.

"Yes. Why do you ask?" Quill replied.

"That's my mother." Shadow said.

"If she's your mother, then that means..." Quill started.

"Father?" Shadow asked.

Tears welled up in Quill's eyes. As he got up, Wind noticed a familiar flash of light on a rooftop across the street through the window.

"Get down!" She yelled as she tackled Quill, just as a bullet crashed through the window and embedded itself in the table.

Wind got up and jumped through the window and flew up to the opposite roof. She landed and saw a guy dressed in silver and black armor running away. She caught him and held him to the ground.
