Dark Spectrum

Is there something wrong with me?

What do you mean?

I just... I don’t feel it. Where is the feeling of accomplishment? I did it, with your help; we were able to destroy everything she loved.

Yes, we did. So why do you feel bad? Is this not what you wanted?

It is. But I’m missing something. I feel... empty. Like I don’t feel anything anymore. All that I can feel is sorrow.

I think I know what is wrong. You are with me, and you need to feed.

That’s it? I need blood.

Yes. I need you to kill something. It’s been so long, and I am getting hungry.

No! That’s not it! We are missing something!

You know what; I’m thinking you are getting selfish. You did everything you wanted, yet you still ask for more.

Wait, I have it. I know what we are missing.

I know. Her subjects.

Exactly! As long as they continue to live, she has a life. She has something to grasp.

We will kill them in time.

We must... Have you noticed Luna?

What about her?

I swear I saw her frown.

You are imagining things.

I guess. But still, it’s not just that.

Then what is it!

Even with her paying, that doesn’t make the pain go away. I miss them. I still remember the days me and my dad would play together in the study, or when my sister and I would play a game. I miss them.

Moping isn’t going to bring them back. They are gone, and they aren’t coming back. So you are going to have to listen to me.

Do you mean?

Yes, we will. Once we defeat Celestia’s lackeys, we will finally create the balance we both need.

I’m not sure. I mean, I agree with you, but do we have to really destroy everything?

For perfect balance to exist, there must be nothing left. Only when the world has withered away, and nothing lives, can there be a true balance between the light and the dark. If nothing is around to cause it, it doesn’t exist.

Will I go to? Will I disappear too?

Yes, as will I. But we will die knowing that the world is finally perfect.

And my family’s work can finally be completed.

Yes, now you’re getting it.

I... I see it now. For my family to be truly avenged, we must create balance. Everything has to go, nopony can live. Nopony deserves to live. They must all burn so that the world can live.

Finally, you see things through my perspective.

Yes... I feel weak.

You are going to sleep for a while.

What?

Forgive me, but I have been dying for a meal. I hope you don’t mind if I borrow this body for a while, do you?

... No, go ahead.

Good.

Just do what we need. Feed on them, and finish the business with the elements. Yes, Black Moon, soon, you will be whole. Now, let’s see who looks tasty.
