why it's a bad idea to put psychopaths under oath, and improve their power with a curse.

When the captain of the dark guard is shrouded in mystery and his own elite group of soldiers are scared into perfect obidience it is time to check who exactly your employing. Shadow Moon is under oath to protect Luna and command the Dark Guard under her will, but only ordering his troops through telekinesis and having no mercy on anyone he does it in a unpredictable, cold and calculated manner. So when Nightmare Moon rises he lives up to his oath and protects her up until clashing with Celestia were she is banished and he has to change his oath of servance to fit this certain problem.

This description sounds like a setup up for a romance comedy but if you want that check out My Blue Love. This is dark and gory most of the way though.

There is a slight anthropmorphic bent added in later.

Dr. Whitefield's N.I.E reports

Medical report:

Patient: 87732000#

His condition is the same as the others, intense shivering, spontaneous screaming and seizures and oblivious to his surroundings. This one has given us a piece of the puzzle. He is screaming the "Night's Edge" is going to get him, The seizures are as if he is being pulled around by a creature as his limbs aren't spazzing out but moving as if he is fighting against something only he sees. We can only hope this does not spread any faster as the cause and cure are still unknown.

Additional notes:

There is defintly a pattern appearing, all five victims of this condition are from Celestia's royal guard giving th impression that some thing is acting against the royal guard itself, so we have giving warning about this possibility to Celestia and now guards are patroling the nights in groups of five.

TWO WEEKS LATER

My report on the Night's Insanity epidemic (N.I.E)

We can now accuratly predict the syptoms and now every royal guard issued to us will have them as enivitably as day turning to night. This is getting out of hand and ever sinced the waring to Celestia was issued certain patients have started screaming on que at 9 o'clock Sharp that there is no stopping this "Night's Edge".

Luckily we have been able to get a better description of our "Night's Edge". It is definitly an equestrian who is activly seeking and infecting the royal guards on night patrol and one peculiar patient feared the "scythe of darkness". Hearing this has sent shivers down the spines of any pony who knows the captain of the dark guard. Shadow Moon's weapon of choice is a scythe. The royal guards are tailing his every move now but I doubt they will find anything, He has made the oath of protection towards Princess Luna meaning he cannot leave her for anything so unless she is commanding him too, he's not responsible.

If he is, Celestia help us.
