Dusk of Chaos

"Elements of Harmony, I plead thee to break my spell and return my sister!"

"Your spell cannot be broken...not broken...curse..."

"That voice again...W-Who are you? Why do I keep hearing you? Where are you?"

"The Essence, a spirit of your magic. Of all magic. I may not be embodied in the sight of ponies."

"Oh...I need you...No, I beg you to help me. Please! Why can't I break this spell? It is my own spell. I was the caster. May a caster not break her own spell?"

"A Dark spell shall not be broken in this manner, Princess."

"A Dark spell? Surely it was not a Dark spell I cast? I merely..."

"You may see your sister, albeit only for a single night. Then too she shall not be corporeal. Merely a shadow. But capable of all magic she may otherwise possess the ability to accomplish. Is that acceptable?"

"Thank you! It shall be more than sufficient. I am truly grateful for this..."

"Do not thank anypony. It is merely the need of Equestria at this hour."

"Tia?"

"Luna? Is that you? Where are you?"

"It is indeed Us sister. We clearly must first return Thy power of vision.

Return to our sister her sight,

Let her eyes no longer see,

Only the darkness as night!

Now we must focus on the task at hand. Discord."

"Yes, Discord. He must be defeated. But I am not familiar with Dark spells. Only you..."

"No, Sister. We must work together. Darkness as strong as his, requires both Light and Dark magic to be dispelled."

"Very well. First, we must find a way out of this cell. Could we possibly fly out that window?"

"Only if we shrink ourselves. Thy magic, does not work in this cell, does it?"

"Discord is in the throne room. If he sleeps, our task is infinitely simplified. If he is not, we ambush him and turn him back into Master Starswirl using your counter spell."

"Tia, however hard we try, our spell, is not likely to break that of the elements. The best we can hope to achieve is to stop Discord, Mayhaps we could stop him, petrify him and..."

"Turn him to stone? Luna, we need to get our Master back! We need him!"

"Sister, we are afraid there is no such spell."

Ah, Princess Celestia. And who is this, widdle Princess Luna! Your thousand years over so quick? Time passes faster when Equestria is covered in chaos."

"Luna, I'll bind him!

The darkest night,

And deadliest pain,

With this cord of light,

You will be slain!

Now, Luna!"

"Striking fear in hearts,

The streets you shall no more roam,

With this spell,

We turn you to stone!"

"......"

"....."

"Did we do it? Luna? Discord is gone! The land is no longer in chaos! Luna? Sister?"

"We have indeed done it. You and us. Together. But now the sun must rise. We must return. To our prison. Our home, for a thousand years."

"Must you? Surely there is some way to..."

"Good bye sister."

"Luna..."

"Good night, Tia."

...

"Good night Luna."
