Dusk of Chaos

"Your Highness, I...very well. All ponies have been distraught at the changes made by the new King. There lies a world of mauve skies and checkered streets, outside this castle. A prank or trap lies in every corner. The ponies must play a game of chess as they move along the streets. The shops or stalls that the King does not like,must be shut down. Thieves and plunderers run free in the cities. There have never been more pest attacks in the countryside. Parasprites are compulsory pets for every family."

"I...This is all my fault. I should've never sent Luna away. The curse...all of this... I brought it on myself. and on Equestria. The sun and the moon...how does he..?"

"He doesn't. There is no day or night. The weather and seasons are erratic, bringing random floods and droughts. The weather ponies have lost their jobs. The sky is always the colour of the twilight hours."

"Surely somepony has dared to rebel against him? Please...there must be someone."

"Spies are everywhere in the land. All those who dare even conceive the notion of rebellion are executed. Effective immediately. Equestria is a joke. Ruled by a Jester."

"No...it can not be...he must be stopped...there has to be a way...some way...Master please, help me!"

"How can your Master help you if he is cursed into a monster? What a wonderful Princess you are! Destroying all of Equestria. The only one decision of Lord Discord's, that makes sense is your imprisonment."

"Harsh words, you utter, guard, but I know and admit the truth in them. Tell me. How would you stop him if you were I?"

"You are the Princess, you should know! This time round, however, do not send my brother to a wasteland looking for an offended unicorn."

"That pony...he was your brother? I was not aware..."

"Hmph! What would you know of brotherly love? You, who sent her sister away for a thousand years? The Emperor is summoning me. I must go.

Brotherly love...Love...perhaps love could be the solution? I did not think of it before. Did Master have a brother? I never asked. To us, he was always a teacher. One who appeared out of nowhere, taught us, and then disappeared. I never asked or wondered about his life. His family. When Father granted him immortality, he had not wanted it. He wanted to be with his family, I remember. But...will they not be gone now? They were not immortal. They must be dead. We, Luna and I, were his only family. And I sent Luna away.

He loved us like a father. We have indeed betrayed him. We fought like fillies! Fillies, over petty jealousies. I do not deserve to rule Equestria. Discord was right on that. But... I must.

I must rid Equestria of this menace. This cannot go on! Love is the solution. I know it! But love...how? How will I get someone who loves Master as I do? My magic does not work against Discord's. Light magic cannot counter Dark magic as effectively as Dark overpowers Dark. I...I always refused to learn Dark spells. But Luna, she was always prepared to learn anything Master deemed fit. She is wiser than I. Truly, I have been a fool. Luna! Luna is the one that can save us now!

I have to get Luna back. I must repeal the banishment. The Elements...The Elements are in the dungeons. I must get to them. Mayhaps the Guards can help me? I must attempt it atleast....

"Princess....Your food. Hope you enjoy it."

"Thank you, for everything. I am truly grateful to you."

"Below the salad. Laughter"

"Yes. I understand. Thank you."

Now I have all the elements. The Guards and their scheme of hiding it in my food, are indeed incredible. I owe them. Discord, has not visited my cell in weeks. I must reassemble the elements, tonight. Tonight, I shall free you sister. I give you my word. Tonight, the Princess of the Moon shall return. And tomorrow, Discord will be gone. Master...Master Starswirl...If, you're there somewhere...I take an oath, that I shall bring down this Rule of Chaos. Please, help me in this, Master.
