"It has been three years since Nightmare Moon took over." A pony said with red and blue mane and a white fur.
"Now not even the elements of harmony can stop her. Now we live in a eternal night and now it is up to me to stop her. My name is Moonlight Shadow. I am 18 years old and when I stop her, this nightmare will be over."
Three years before the eternal night.
As he was running form the castle, a pony called his name. "Hey Moonlight."
Moonlight Shadow looked around for who was calling his name. Then he saw who called his name and looked at the pony. "Oh, hey Applebloom." He said weaving his hoof.
"How's the job at Canterlot?" Applebloom asks.
"It's okay with Celestia working me to death." Moonlight Shadow says with sarcasm to Applebloom. Appleboom smiled.
"Applebloom! Where are you?" Some pony said, yelling for Applebloom. She had a blond mane and orange fur.
"Over here Applejack!" Moonlight Shadow yells from the shop they were now currently in. Applejack walked over to the other ponies and spoke to Applebloom.
"There you are! Now what did I say about bugging moonlight?" Applejack said, smirking. Moonlight Shadow tried not to blush. Applebloom shrugged and started to walk away.
" so sorry about that moonlight." Applejack said looking at him. He blushed even though he was doing a great job of keeping his blush down! when she looked at him. She then smiled that beautiful smile of hers that made his heart leap. He had had a huge crush on her for a while.
"It's okay, but Applejack there's this new restaurant opening. I was wondering if you want to go with me?" Moonlight asked Applejack as she was walking away. I hope she says yes, He thought.
She turned around and smiled again. "That sounds nice." Applejack told Moonlight Shadow. "Now wait just a minute. I gotta-"
But before she can finish Applebloom, who was watching nearby, was running to the farm, laughing her head off.
"Come back here Applebloom!" Applejack shouted as she was running after Applebloom. She turned and shouted, "Sorry maybe later! Bye!"
Moonlight Shadow snickered. "Haha, those two are so different but so alike." He then went to his shop. He worked as a metal worker. He creates swords and other weapons that the guards use.
That night was when every thing began.
As he worked on a new sword, there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" He asked, putting down the unfinished sword in the large bucket of water.
"It's the Canterlot guards." The pony said. Judging by the hoofsteps outside the door, it sounded like two or three more guards were there.
Moonlight Shadow slowly walked over to the door and opened the door.
"What's going on?" Moonlight Shadow said, confused. Usually the guards don't come straight to his door.
"You are requested by the princess. You need to come with us." The guard said. He looked like he was maybe a Sergeant.
So the princess needs me. Been a long time since she summoned me. Moonlight thought. "Okay." Moonlight said.
He walked with the guards to the palace. To tell the truth, Moonlight didn't just work with weapons; he was also a part-time servant and protector.
"Why is the princess summing me?" Asked Moonlight with a look.
"We have know idea sir" One of the guards said
"Alright let me gather my things then we can go." Moonlight said than allowed the guards to enter his shop/home
As he walked through the gate leading to the palace, he saw Celestia and another pony with cyan fur and rainbow colored mane waiting for him.
The cyan pony, who looked strangely familiar, said "So you ready to get to work?"
"Who are you?"Moonlight said, then it hit him. He remembered her. "Wait... You're Rainbow Dash."
"Yes I am," Rainbow dash said. "are you ready to get to work?
"Oh… wow, you're actually Rainbow Dash! It's nice to meet you." Moonlight said excitedly.
"Yeah," Rainbow Dash said. "And you are...?"
"Wow, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Moonlight Shadow" He said holding out his hoof. She gladly shakes his hoof.
Moonlight then turned to face Celestia, he said, "So what did you summon me for?"
Celestia looked around like nothing was wrong.
"It's probably best if I tell you inside." Celestia said. She escorted Moonlight Shadow to her throne room. Celestia opens the door to the room.
Wow, this is really big, Moonlight thought looking around the room. In the several times he has been in the palace, he had never seen the throne room.
Celestia seemed to know what Moonlight Shadow is thinking of and said, "Yes it is large, but it's just me and my dear sister."
She stopped in her tracks. "Celestia is there something wrong?" Rainbow Dash said with a worried face. A look flashes over Celestia's face before she replied. "I'm fine."
"Okay princess." Moonlight said.
As they walked to the throne room celestia walked up to her chair and sat down and turned to moonlight and rainbow.
"We have some sightings of a black mist." celestia said with a face of worry
"What do you mean by black mist?" questioned rainbow dash
Celestia was silent for a good ten minutes.
"Its about my dear sister." Clestia said with grief
"Whats wrong with princess luna?" asked Moonlight
"Things got out of hand. One night I went to check on luna to see how she was handling being out in equstra once again. but...." Celestia's voice started to trail off.
"Whats wrong with luna?" asked Rainbow Dash
