The Strange Case of Dr. Aura and Miss Night

Sun Cross sat at her desk. A dim glow illuminating the room as she sifted through stacks of papers. An eerie silence filled the soft air. Suddenly, the sound of door hinges creaking open broke the silence. Sharp hoof steps echoed through the small office. Her heart began to race, her breathing heavy. She knew she was in danger, but she dared not look up. A hooded figure halted in front of her. The pony's glowing horn created a bright light that painted the room red. The mare was holding something. A steel pipe. The mare pulled back her hood, exposing her face. Sun Cross glanced up and suddenly, every went black.

"Ok. Let's see, cause of death: blunt force trauma to the right temple." Silver Bullet said, as she read the few sheets of paper that sat on her desk. "Most likely caused by some sort of metal object. Am I correct, Miss Auburn?"  She continued.

"It would appear so," Auburn Oak answered grimly. Silver Bullet's horn light up, a shimmering silver aura surrounding it. She picked up a small sheet of paper. "Fill this out if you please, Miss Auburn," said Silver Bullet, "and have Skyward Star sign it!" Auburn Oak nodded and left the room. Silver Bullet continued sorting through her papers, until she came across an envelope. She picked it up and stared at it for a moment. Dr.Moonlit Aura's will, was scrawled across the front of the envelope. Silver flipped it. The back read: Only to be opened at the death or disappearance of Dr. Moonlit Aura. Silver Bullet began peeling off the wax seal of the envelope. Then, the door swung violently open, causing Silver Bullet the jump out of her seat and drop the envelope. Much to her surprise, Auburn Oak trotted through the doorway. She glanced over at Silver Bullet, who was clearly startled. "Oh, my apologies, Madam!" She said apologetically. Silver Bullet cautiously sat back down at her desk. She cleared her throat and said, "It is quite alright, my dear," she put her head below her desk in an attempt to find Aura's will, "you did not mean to startle me." Auburn Oak placed a form on Silver's desk. Silver Bullet glanced up at the paper. "I'm afraid Skyward Star is not available at the moment," said Auburn Oak quietly, "but, I did manage to get a hold of Carved Crescent and he signed it instead." Silver grunted in acknowledgement. She continued to search for the will. She eventually found it and placed it on her desk. She climbed back into her wooden chair and pulled herself towards her desk. She picked up the envelope and began peeling away at the seal. Auburn Oak stood in silence, watching. Silver Bullet opened the envelope and pulled out a long piece of parchment. "What is that?" Auburn Oak asked curiously, pointing her hoof towards the will. "Never you mind!" Silver Bullet said sternly. She read down the page, before stopping and lowering the parchment. Her eyes were wide, as if she had seen a ghost. "Auburn Oak? Please find me the location of Crimson Night."
