Author's Note

Edited this thing. Still not sure what I'm doing. The previous chapter did not get anything added. Really tried to think of something, but couldn't get anything. Also, sorry for the long wait, but I've been running on stress induced anger for a while now.

And coffee.

Anyways I could really use some ideas if anyone can think of anything.

Thanks

A new age

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies. But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through her beautiful night. One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon.

She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: the Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister, and banished her permanently in the moon. The elder sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since.

Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about nighttime eternal. But this is only story you have been told, and now that one has returned, will the other?

"Hello there, do you mind if I sit with you?" A mare asked as she stood next to a table with only one occupant. The mare had an off white coat of fur and long reddish pink mane and tail. She wore a grey sweatshirt and faded jeans. One could tell she was a unicorn from the long horn that sprouted from her head.

The one at the table tilted his head towards the mare slightly. He seemed to study her, as if looking at something that wasn't there. He turned his head forward and gave a slight nod.

The mare gained a small smile, and took her seat. As she sat, she took the time to study the pony in front of her. Not much could be said about him. He wore a heavy cloak that cover most of his body, the neck was pulled up to cover his nose and everything below it. A hood had been pulled over to hide the rest, completely blocking his face from view. Any part of his body that could be seen from under the cloak, were hidden beneath heavy clothing that somehow clung to his body.

"I'm Solar Harvest by the way, but you can just call me Solar." Solar said, expecting a response from the pony in front of her.

"... V." The cloaked individual said in a deep, neutral voice

"V?"

"... V." And with that, an uncomfortable silence set in.

"... Okay, V... I was wondering If you could help me with something." She paused to see if the pony would speak. After another moment of silence, she continued. "I heard a rumor that you knew some powerful magic. I have a brother and he is under a curse that has changed him. My sister and I have tried to help him, but nothing we try works." The pony spoke with a single word.

"Princesses?"

Solar shook her head. "We tried asking them, but they can't seem to-"

"Not that." Solar just looked at him strangely. "Void. Space." Out of nowhere, a blast of magic came from the cloaked pony. Solar jumped up at the action, horn flared with a golden aura. "Hello, Princess Celestia." At this moment, Solar had vanished, and in her place stood the princess of the sun.

The princess quickly regained her composure and sat back down. "Tell me, how did you see through my illusion?"

The being either didn't hear her or chose to ignore the white alicorn in front of him. "You said something about a brother. Last time I checked you only had a sister."

Celestia slightly narrowed her eyes at the pony ignoring her. "My brother actual left after a curse was placed on him that caused him to change. What is this magic you are using? I've never seen any like it before." Asked looking around. The building they were in was an open bar with plenty of other ponies inside. What struck the Princess as strange was that, despite her disguise being gone, none of the seem to notice the two of them. While the lighting hadn't changed, the colors seemed less vibrant then they had a second ago.

Once again, V seemed to ignore the princess' question in favor of his own. "What makes you think I can remove a curse that two alicorns could not?"

"As I had said, a rumor had been brought to my attention that you used strange magic, despite not being a unicorn." The princess went to continue, but the pony decided to interrupt her again.

"Before you ask, the magic I am using is only making it so that we will not interrupted. As for the rumor, I hardly see how strange magic will make a difference in removing a curse."

"I understand your confusion, but I was hoping that you could actually help me find him. After being curse, he left and has not returned."

"And I take it this was a thousand years ago?" The pony asked, almost sarcastically.

"What makes you say that?" Celestia said in a neutral voice.

"Your sister thousand year banishment, discord being trapped in stone for a thousand years, the crystal empires return after a thousand years, Tirek being sent to Tartarus a thousand years ago."V listed in a monotone voice. "Besides, what makes you think I'll be able to find him. I'm just a mercenary with weird magic."

"I understand if you can't, but my sister and I both miss him dearly and wish to see him again. If you think you can help, please come to the castle." With that the princess stood up and gave a slight bow, then her horn began to glow with magic.

"..."

"..."

"... Are you waiting for something princess?" The cloaked figure asked as the alicorn continued to channel her magic.

"Why can't I-" With a flash, the princess was gone.

"... Forgot to dispel the void space. Hopefully she won't question it." Vmumbled to himself. "The question now is if I should go or not."

"Hey V, got another job for you." An earth pony waitress came up with a scroll and put it down in front of V. "It's another bounty, some stallion is giving the guard trouble over in Cantorlot if you're interested, also they want him alive." She said before walking off to deal with some drunk.

"With a heavy sigh, the pony stood up and picked up the scroll and a staff about as tall as himself, wrapped in a white cloth. With his staff secured to his back, he walks out of the bar and makes his way to the train station.

"Let's see what trouble I can find in stuck up noble city."

In the throne room of the Cantorlot castle, waiting there guest to arrive, were two alicorn princesses. Both gave off a powerful yet elegent aura.

One was a white mare with a pastel mane and tail, large white wings sprouting from her back, and a long horn resting on her head. She wore a white dress with gold trimming. She stood taller than any other pony at almost seven feet.

The other was midnight blue with a mane and tail that could only be compared to the night sky. A horn sprouting from her head, along with a set of large wings on her back. This one had a dark blue dress with silver trimmings. She was not as tall as her fellow princess, but she was far from average at six and a half feet.

"This may be our last chance at getting our brother back, let us hope it works."

"There is no doubt in my mind that it will, Luna." Celestia responded then gave a heavy sigh. "Let's just hope they will forgive us for not telling them sooner."

"Do you really think it is wise to trust a mercenary, sister? Even if he can help us get our brother back, there is no telling what he will ask for in return."

"Honestly, I'm more concerned with what Blueblood will do when he finds out that there is a male alicorn in the world."

Luna just rolled her eyes at the thought. "He will most likely start whining 'Auuuuunty, if stallions can become alicorns as well, then why haven't I become one yet. Don't you love your nephew? If you did, then why haven't I been made into one yeeeeeeeet?'" She said while acting like a foal that was told they aren't getting any dessert since they didn't finish their dinner.

Celestia just eyed her sister incredulously and said. "I understand that you don't like our nephew, but must you do that?" That caused Luna to look away in slight shame, until her sister got mischievous grin. "Besides, you forgot to add in the 'I am clearly more deserving of becoming an alicorn simply for the fact that I am the great and noble prince Blueblood.'"

"You forgot humble." Luna said with a straight face

They just starred at each other for a couple of seconds, then bust out laughing. After they had managed to regain themselves, they both took on a more serious attitude.

"Do you think he will be mad?"

"Most likely."

"Do you think he will leave like mother did?"

"I hope not sister. I really don't want to loose him as well."
