Forgotten Flames

Luna was scared, she was screaming for Celestia's help, not paying attention to what was happening around her. She was falling, through what seemed to be a massive void of things to come, and things that have already passed. Once Luna actually looked around her, she was frightened even more, because she saw what was happening right now in Equestria. Her moon was going away from the sun, destroying the eclipse and slowly vanishing... until she saw the rest of the picture. There was another sun, yet this one was blue, smaller and nowhere near as bright as Celestia's.

Luna fell asleep after awhile, tired from all the falling. While she was asleep, she had a dream, a dream about forces no one knows of, forgotten yet powerful forces. Luna's dream revealed lots of things to her, such as what the little sparks around her feet were and where she was. She was in a place called "In terra obliviónis Servio" or "The Land Of The Forgotten Flames". A place where the beings that once ruled the Multiverse and created Luna's and Celestia's Mother and father, were banished by memory.

When Luna awakened, she was sleeping on her bed... or was she? The room looked exactly like her's, except for one thing... her balcony wasn't there! Luna was freaking out inside, but she was perfectly calm on the outside trying to make sure whatever pulled her down didn't see her the way she was inside. As she walked outside of her "room" Luna felt a weird kind of peaceful feeling, and she just calmed down, ready to see what this place is and why she was here.

A powerful light shined in her eyes, and she was blinded for a couple seconds, but when she got used to the brightness, she saw something amazing. There was a massive city made of blue-silver fire! but quickly, before she was able to explore the amazingly beautiful city, what looked like a soldier (made of the same kind of fire the city was) flew down in front of her and escorted her to what was either a military post or a palace, she couldn't tell. But once Luna was inside, she could tell it was neither, but a place of memories, a place where the citizens could look back on their ancestors. Then Luna saw a picture of her parents.
"Mom? Dad? Why are you in a picture here?"... Then Luna was lead away.

The Hunt

The Hunt

"Spike! Where's that book?" Twilight asked.
"What book Twilight? We're in a library, there's tons of books!" Spike yelled
"The one Celestia sent us about Luna's disappearance." Twilight replied.
"Oh... that one! I think it's on your dresser!" Spike yelled back up to Twilight.
"Found it, thanks Spike!" Twilight yelled back down. "Now let's get everyone together and ready to go on the adventure of our life" Twilight thought to herself.

Twilight and her friends were standing on a small hill right before the Northern Border of Equestria, scared but ready to face anything that appears.
"Alright, let's go..." Twilight said as they all started to slowly walk past the magical border that protects Equestria from any harmful outsiders. As the six crossed the border, they felt a wave of weakness overcome them, but they payed no attention, they just kept on walking. Walking until they could no more.

"We should probably stop and camp here for the night." Twilight suggested, they all agreed and pulled their tent out of their bag.
"Rarity! Why do you have a seven pony sized tent for yourself!?" Rainbow Dash Yelled at Rarity.
"My dear rainbow... I have lots of things, but you are welcome to stay in my tent for tonight." Rarity calmly whispered to Rainbow Dash.
"Well.... I guess that's good enough." Rainbow Dash replied out loud, right before she went inside Rarity's tent instead of her own, smaller one.

As Pinkie Pie woke up second, she went out and looked for Rainbow Dash, her being Pinkie's favorite mare of the five others, saw her nowhere. Being afraid something had happened to Rainbow over the night, went and woke everyone up. After everyone was awake and standing outside their tents, they saw something amazing. It was a temple made out of pure fire, but this was no ordinary fire, no... it was purple and no heat emanated from it. Soon after, they saw Rainbow Dash jumping around having a blast!
"Can I go jump around like Rainbow Dash?!" Pinkie Pleaded to Twilight.
"Why not..." Twilight replied. Immediately after she said that, Pinkie was already up on top jumping around next to rainbow Dash.
"Why did I say that?" Twilight mumbled to herself under her breath. "Well everyone, lets go explore that temple. Besides, it looks like the one described in the book." Twilight told everyone "That includes you too Rainbow and Pinkie!" Twilight yelled up to the two mares bouncing around having fun.

What is Sanity? (Dark Version)

As Luna was walking into the temple, she began to realize something.
"What if none of this is real and I'm just going insane?!" She couldn't keep that thought out of her head, it just kept running through her mind, over and over again. She couldn't even pay attention to what she was hearing. Eventually Luna's head started to throb with pain, the pain that she felt when she turned into Nightmare Moon. The same kind of feeling she knew was insanity, no matter how it came, it was insanity.

"Princess Luna! Are you even listening to me!?" The High Counselor yelled at Luna.
"No... I... can't... hear... you... over... the... voices..." Luna replied, slowly sounding like a mad mare.
"What voices!?" The High Counselor Yelled at Luna in a questioning voice.
"The ones in my head that tell me to kill you... because you aren't real...!" The crazed Luna replied as she walked closer.
"Attack her! Defend me!" The High Counselor Commanded his guards
"I think not..." Luna slowly said as she pulled lunar power to stab and kill the guards. In her mind, she saw the guards turn into clouds and disappear. While in reality, Luna was slowly cutting the dead bodies open and pulling all the innards out.

When Luna was done making art out of the organs of the fire guards, she went up to the Counselor and slowly and painfully cut his throat, making sure to avoid all the major arteries. Torturing him.

When Luna was done with the Counselor, She started to head for the town, ready to torture and kill the townsfolk.

Eclipse

For the few minutes that the eclipse lasted, Luna could see small little purplish colored pops around her legs and feet. She payed them no attention, but once the eclipse ended, Luna looked down and the little "sparks" were gone. Luna, guessing that the pops were side effects of looking at the eclipse, just decided to walk back into her bedroom... but she couldn't! She could move everything but her legs. So she decided to just use her magic to fix this mess, but nothing happened... her magic didn't do anything either! Luna cried for help at the top of her lungs, but not a single guard heard her! The only pony that could hear the poor and desperate Luna was her sister, Celestia.

"What is this sound I hear?" Celestia thought to herself, but then it stopped... as soon as this happened, Celestia realized it was Luna. She ran to Luna's bedroom as fast as possible and pushed the door open, what she saw was horrifying, Luna wasn't there... then Celestia felt the same kind of feeling she experienced when Luna was banished to the moon... Loneliness.

Celestia quickly ran to her library, looking for the reason why Luna was gone this time. As she looked, she found a reference to another book which then referenced an ancient book which was written before Celestia's parents were even in existence!

Celestia wrote a letter to Twilight Sparkle, urgently asking her and her friends to go to the specified location that was explained in her book.
"My dear beloved student, Twilight Sparkle,

I need to ask of your help once again, my dear Luna has disappeared and in my library there was a book that referenced another story, but this one has been hidden away for millennia. Why you may ask, was this book hidden away and why for millennia? Well… that's because it was about something that even my parents had no idea of! Something extremely powerful."
