It wasn’t a quiet night any more, in the castle all the guards that were in it were desperately looking for the dragon hybrid by order of the princess. While no news of the dragon's whereabouts came, Twilight Sparkle along with Princess Sunset walked in the castle garden.

Twilight screamed loudly at the name of his friend, she was so sorry. Twilight had argued with him, scaring him and making him run away.

"I'm the worst person in the world," Twilight said with sobs trapped in his throat. "He just wanted to show me that he could spit fire ... It was an accident".

"We'll find him and you'll be able to apologize to him," Sunset said, wiping the tears from her face.

Until there was only one place where they hadn't gone, the castle garden that resembled a labyrinth, she didn't want to take Twilight to, end up getting hurt. The first drop of rain hit the nose of Twilight. Twilight grunted, scratching her nose as she looked up and saw the huge, charged clouds.

"Twilight go back to the castle and see if anyone found it, I'm going to look for Spike around here” Sunset said.

"But I want to ...." Twilight is starting an argument, but stopped as soon as she saw Sunset gaze.

For the time they were living together, the lessons and the quarrels. Twilight learned that when Sunset was like this there, was no discussion.Twilight sighed sadly, she thought that Sunset didn't see her as weak or as a doll (Cadence who was always doing this).

"I just don’t want you to get hurt Twilight," Sunset said, resting her hand on the shoulder of the girl who kept her head down. "I’d blame myself for the rest of my life if something happened to you"

"I'll see if they found Spike" Twilight said looking at her, with the same glint of admiration "But if you don’t come back ... I'll go to the Tartar behind you" Twilight said with a small smile forming, with a hug between them.

Why are there so many creatures that would like to eat me here? Sunset was thinking, as she entered the labyrinth. She would have a long talk with her mother, about it later.

Meanwhile, in the castle.

Twilight had not found any of the guards, she could have sworn she, was starting to get lost, again in this gigantic castle.

"Where are you Spike?" Twilight asked herself, even saw the scorched ground and decided to follow it, the only thing she knew was that she had never been to that part of the castle, before.

The sounds of silence filled the palace halls as the snow begun to fall outside calling for the winter season. Most of the palace staff wouldn’t be at work this time. Only in the kitchen the young princess and a dragon hybrid were having not much of a taste for breakfast. Princess Cadance wanted them to be alone, or mostly for Spike so he could get better from what had happened a few days ago.

Looking across the conder, she notice he was only playing with his food being in deep thought about something. In her mind she wanted to know… "Spike," drawing his attention. "Is there something wrong?" She asked. She did wanted to understand why he hadn't recognize her or some of the staff living here before Twilight had taken him with her to live on their own.

Spike, who was playing with the delicious pancake soaked whipped with emerald and apple syrup, places his fork down and rubbed his head with a groan that he had to talk about what he was thinking… He took a side glance to Cadence who relented when she saw that even though he was playing the clam dude, in his eyes were anger and upset.

“Ahh...” He breath out to answer her when suddenly he was in gluff in the pink royal dress the princess wore...

"Sorry Spike,” She squeezed the life out of him again like before. “I...I didn’t mean to bring back old memories," Speaking with a loving sweet voice that would melt any man's soul to her bending. As he was suffocating from the love of death's grip turning scales to blue of heat, he was only thinking of why did she think he was having a hard time?

‘I'm such an idiot! I should know better than this Cadence’ She closed her eyes tight, as her arms kept squeezing the life out of Spike like he was only a doll to her. Only now noticing what is happening drops the poor dragon off the set to the floor feeling really embarrassed from the demigod strength she has.

He didn’t know a lot of things about the relationship between Twilight and the Princesses, as to why she would always stay far away from the castle has possible. They could had move somewhere else and not in Canterlot, but their home was special to them both… Twilight would never want to leave it.

Twilight didn’t had any friends except for him, well… She does have allies but they aren’t really friends sadly because she wasn’t much open to them. He did always tried to be the best friend/little brother to her all he can.

Spike had notice now that Cadence was looking back at him with a sad smile, he did think she was really beautiful… Laughing a bit he replied with his own smile with his sharp teeth shine from the food he ate, noticing that he closed quickly and looked nervous from looking like a predator that will eat her.

"No, i'm f-fine Princess. It's… I couldn’t do anything," Spike smiled sadly for a second time. "I don’t remember much when I was a child..." Cadence arched eyebrow as Spike blushed from the beautiful face of love. "...I’m only 12, but Twilight has told me that she saved me from evil men who abused me... And the rest is a bit confusing."

"You do care for Twilight, don’t you?" Cadence said, she knew that their connection was strong.

"I would do anything for my friend," Spike had a determined look in his eyes.

"Me too," Princess muttered without realizing it.

"Huh?" Spike asked.

“Nothing!” She shaking her head from saying anything else, she got up and called to the waiters that they were done. "I think it’s time to go see how Twilight is doing now," Princess Cadence said, to change the focus on Spike. Receiving a cheerful smile from the hybrid.

They both walked quietly to the kitchen exit, which was "protected" from night raids by a huge door, every centimeter a spell to alert any intruders.

The hallway leading to the room where Twilight was, was packed with display cases showing the moments of Equestria that should always be remembered, but not only had glorious moments. Some windows had the image itself Celestia fighting evil creatures to Heroes images succumbing to evil.

When the princess's hand was to turn the lock for the two of them to enter the room, Spike asked her.

"Princess, Twilight willvbe okay?"

Princess turned to the boy, knelt to stay in his time and pulled him into a hug. "Spike remember one thing: Twilight will always be fine” Cadence said to herself believe too

"Th-thank you Princess"

Cadence just smiled at it is pulled the door.

Neither of them expected see it. Spike didn't see it for at least 4 years.

Twilight was struggling with pain on the bed. An icy sweat trickled from her face and mingled with the tears that flowed from her eyes.

Her fingernails were pressed tightly against the mattress, tearing it apart.

But the worst part ...

It was that she was screaming in pain, as if something was tearing her inside.

"What the hell is going on with her !!?" Cadence shouted, not knowing what to do.

"A nightmare," Spike said seriously enough, and walked over to his sister's bed. Embracing her, ignoring the pain of being kicked by her.

Even not obeying what Twilight said when this crisis happened for the first time.

Once Twilight nearly killed Spike asphyxiated, she still hasn’t forgiven herself for it. And she had made him promise that no matter what happened, he shouldn’t go near her.

"I ... s-she ... does this happen often?" Princess Cadence asked worriedly, she was trying to recover from what had just happened.Using the breathing techniques that she herself had taught Twilight a while back.

""It was a few months ago ..." Twilight said looking directly into the princess's eyes.

She sat on the bed hugging Spike, who was shaking. He was strong, but even he didn’t admit it, Spike was afraid of what the nightmares had done, and could still do Twilight.

"It's been a while since I've seen you ..." Cadence commented nostalgically, approaching Twilight. But as soon as she realized that Twilight was not comfortable with the closeness she walked away a little "In the name of Queen Celestia ..." Cadence was interrupted.

"Before you start talking about it, I'll get ready for us to have real conversation" Twilight said a little rudely and stood up.

She knew the castle very well. As soon as she closed a door behind her, she saw that the bathrooms in the shopping rooms are not changed at all. Twilight also was not surprised by a change of clothes over the sink.

"I ... I'm calm." Twilight said to herself, took a deep breath. As soon as she was sure she was not going to have any panic attack, she was gently taking off the set of yellow pajamas she was wearing. "Who was it?....It doesn’t matter."

Once the Twilight finished dressing she was see how the clothes has stayed in her. I’m fabulous,Twilight thought looking in the mirror with an amused smile.

Once the Twilight came out of the bathroom she noticed that the room was empty, with no ticket, she left the room and began to walk the halls.

They could spend centuries and the young witch would always find something magical window shopping. These windows along the castle told the story - or a part of the history of Equestria.

But the most "important" were in the room of the Queen's throne, which she thought was utter idiocy since they all had an important place in history...

Being in the Castle made Twilight feel sick, she had to find Spike and get out of here as quickly as possible.

So before the sorceress did something stupid. A blue-eyed guard coughed to get his attention.

"Lady Twilight Sparkle, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza requests your presence" The guard said, he distrusted that sorceress, since Twilight Sparkle didn't have the best reputation of all.

"All right" Twilight answered, sighed frustratingly. She was in a rebellious phase lately, in recent years.

Without a word, the guard turned and started to walk to the room where the Princess was, Twilight just followed him without saying anything either.

It was like this all the way through the castle, over a tense climate that hung over them. Before the guard could say anything stupid, Princess Cadence opened the door.

"Thank you so much for finding her, and bringing her here," Candence said politely to the guard, nervously just waved at the Princess "Twilight ..."

"Let's talk Princess," Twilight said, giving the Princess a yellow smile.

The princess opened the door so that the violet-eyed sorceress could come in, the guard went to continue his patrol as his wings moved uncomfortably on his armor.

To say that Twilight was nervous was a euphemism.Princess Cadence closed the door and sat down in front of the sorceress.

"How are you feeling?" Cadence asked worriedly, touching Twilight to give her some comfort.

"I'll be fine ..." Twilight replied.

"I hope so," Cadence said, but long returned to the possession of Princess and continued "Queen Celestia, is willing to carry out any wish you want. For you helping me with those guys..." Princess Cadence, said looking seriously into the eyes in the sorceress.

"I'm flattered ..." Twilight began to speak earnestly, but couldn’t stand the irony in that request and laughed. "I'm sorry, Candence. But I cann’t accept anything from her and I know, she's my Queen, the Goddess to whom I've been taught to pray, and I'm going to follow her orders without question ... But that's all! " Twilight got up from the chair and went to the window to watch the sky "I don’t want any contact with her any more, I ... You know! The blame for Sunset disappearing is hers, and does she still make me such a ridiculous offer?" Twilight was already releasing the years in which she suppressed her anger exploding at once, her breath was racing and she wanted to break something, but as soon as Twilight looked at Cadence, Twilight regretted it.

Cadence also suffered, wanting it or not both: Candence and Sunset shared a sibling relationship, Candence was with Twilight that night.

Twilight tried to speak, she opened her mouth but no words come out. She was feeling a selfish bitch.

"I'm going send the guards call Spike" Cadence said getting up and heading toward the door but before opening she looked at the sorceress "No matter what happens Twilight, I'll never leave you ... Even if you want" Cadence said and left, closing the door behind her.

These words hit Twilight but what she would like. She sat up, propping up the wall and capping his mouth to try to suppress an agonizing pain cry.

Twilight stared at nothing, until the door opened. When she lifted her gaze, Twilight smirked at his faithful assistant.

"You want ice cream on the way home?" Twilight asked standing up.

"You're the best Twilight!" Spike screamed and ran to hug her.

Only Faust knew how she needed it.

Not wanting to find another character from her past, she decided to teleport out of the castle.

It was already night when the sorceress and the dragon finally arrived in, the two carrying bags full of food. It was time for Twilight to buy things for the house. With exhaustion, she did not even see a small note on the table.

I hope you improves, I think you became famous as the 'sorceress who saved the Princess'.

Congratulations, when you come back, I ask you to come and see me urgently.

It's about that.

Moondancer,

"Spike keeps the fruit for me?" Twilight asked, entering the house right after the boy and closing the door with his foot.

"Of course," Spike replied, taking her purchases and leading them into the kitchen, "Something else?" He shouted from the kitchen.

"All done Spike, it's late, so I'll enjoy it and sleep," Twilight said, coming back from the kitchen with a glass and a bottle of cider.

Twilight went upstairs, into the small, stuffy bedroom, and opening the window. To be out of breath with the beauty of the moon, it had been a while since she'd stopped to sit and watch the sunrise and the moonlight.

Sighing gloomily Twilight began to undress and wear a striped long sleeve T-shirt as pajamas.

Twilight sat in the chair, the table full of scribbles, maps, and posters with rewards. Twilight just ignored it for just one night and filled the glass and drank.

Another, another, another and another. She lost count and fell asleep in her chair.

Twilight drank every night to avoid dreams.

Then imagine the scare it took to be awakened, in the middle of the night by the person she hated most in Equestria.

"We need to talk" Queen Celestia said, sitting cross-legged in front of the sorceress.

Twilight bit her cheek until she felt the taste of iron, holding herself back to say nothing to regret. As soon as Twilight was able to calm down, she paid attention to the world around her.

A dream, she thought with conviction. Twilight was floating in the night sky, sitting on a bed that floated in nowhere, with a goddess in front of her waiting for an answer.

"How are you in my dream?" Twilight asked, not being curious.

"Twilight Sparkle, I don’t have all control of dreams ... So listen carefully, we will not have much time" Queen Celestia said, without waiting for a response from the sorceress "This year will be the thousandth celebration of the sun. Creatures imprisoned for thousands of years by me will be released, so I am summoning all sorcerers and citizens of Equestria who want to help ... "

Not quite the truth ...It was just her.

"I don't quite understand, but it seems like you want me to fight some trapped creature a millennium ago?" Twilight asked, interrupting the Queen, finding this story absurd.

"I got a secret report telling me about an organization that aims to speed up their escape." Celestia continued to completely ignore Twilight's questions. "So I'm sending one of the best witches, you Twilight Sparkle, on a quest to find the organization, stop them, to save the world "Celestia ended her speech, leaving a stunned Twilight.

Celestia regretted only a little exaggeration.

Across the station, Rarity saw the Twilight sorceress with her buddy Spike. She put the most charming smile on her face , before approaching them.

"Hello again darling..".
