The Mane Six were worried. Nightmare Moon was back? With an army under her influence? Not good.

"How the fuck is Nightmare Moon even back? Didn't we, like, Erase her with the Elements or something?" Asked Rainbow Dash as she sat on Twilight's counter top after being told the news. Applejack nodded in agreement. The other three had different reactions. Rarity fainted into a couch that appeared out of nowhere, Fluttershy simply fainted. Pinkie Pie wasn't paying any form of attention. Instead, she was bouncing in place with a vacant look in her eye. Twilight was sipping at a cup of green tea, trying to calm her nerves.

"No. Apparently we only separated her from Princess Luna. Princess Celestia wants us to sneak into Everfree Castle, now called The Wolves' Den, and use the Elements to stop her." Said Twilight as she opened a map. "Nightmare has an army under her control. if we could somehow free them from her influence, they'd probably want to help us in the war. We need their support. If we don't get their help, they could raid villages and towns from their new fortress without ever having to deal with our border guard."

"What if we built a wall around the Everfree?" Pinkie asked. Twilight facepalmed.

"They could just go around it Pinkie. There are plenty of caves in the Everfree, they'd just go through those." Said Twilight. Then Rainbow Dash stood up.

"So, all we have to do is sneak in, get rid of Nightmare, make a deal with the Knights, and all's good. Miss anything?" She asked with clear bravado.

"Their leader is called Abigor. Shining Armor asked one of the knights what the name meant. It's the name of a demon of war in command of 60 Legions. The demon supposedly made deals with royals, selling them secrets of military victory in exchange for their souls. We should be careful. They also whispered rumors about a 'Hantu Kopek'. It's the name of some female nightmare demon. I think that's what they call Nightmare Moon. They must have no idea what they're dealing with." Twilight explained. She then slung a packed bag over her shoulder, and stood in front of the group. "Let's go girls!" She said determinedly.

Then they all left the library. Six friends on their way to fight off a parasitic Demon and save a group of clueless knights.

Or so they thought.

Abigor POV:

I was sitting on my new throne, watching over my Blackstones as they feasted, when I felt a hand tap on my shoulder. I looked to whomever wanted my attention to see... Luna. Looking exactly as she did before. I will admit, at that point a very small part of me felt disappointment.

Sensing my thoughts, Luna smiled lightly saying. "I will show you the physical changes when the time comes. I have been able to comprehend modern ways of speaking though. What do you think?" She asked. I looked at her eyes, and felt a slight twinge of fear, and a sharp jolt of adrenaline.

"I like it." Was all I could think of at the time.

She giggled and stood at my side, looking at the Blackstones as the cleaned up after themselves and readied the main hall for what was planned. Whomever Celestia thought could kill us all would have another thing coming.

Then I heard a faint whisper, as if it were someone yelling from miles away.

Make us whole!

I turned in the direction of the voice to see the sun shining through a painted glass window depicting Apollyon. I thought to myself, what in the name of all things could make that sound?My question was soon answered. I felt a dull throb in my head before blacking out.

Darkness... All I saw... Was an eternal void. Absent of light. How could this come from the sun? I asked, dreading the answer. Then, a voice sounded from the deep blackness, all around me I heard it's raspy voice.

"Even a star can eventually fade and die... I am what comes after it's final breath. Soon I will arrive, and I will be whole again. But..." I then felt an overwhelming presence, as if I was being crushed from all sides. You have disrupted my plans human. You may have Them on your side, but I will kill them! Until then..." I felt a searing pain on the right side of my face, I clawed at the right side of my head, trying to rip whatever was causing the pain off of me.

"ENOUGH!" screeched a shrill voice, and suddenly dark was light, black was white, and I was awake once more.

I looked around me to see Luna with her hands on my temples. Her soft hands emitted a soft warm light blue glow.

"What happened?" I said, straining to sit up. Luna placed her hand on my chest plate, gently pushing me back to lying on the ground.

"You fell over and started thrashing. You were screaming in pain, I used my magic to ease the pain you felt but... I couldn't do anything to stop the scarring." She said, looking away in shame. My heart quickened in panic.

"What scarring?" I asked urgently. She handed a mirror over to me. I grabbed it to look at myself, and my heart felt as though it had stopped in my chest. The entire right side of my face was dominated by a horrifying scar. My right eye was bloodshot, and turned a hazy pale blue. I still had my eyelid though, so blinking was still possible (if a little painful). I stared at the person in the mirror, almost unbelieving that it was me staring back. I lifted my hand to feel the scarred skin and tissues of my face, and shuddered at the texture.

"I am sorry Abigor. I did the best I could." Luna said, looking down in shame. I looked at her, and thought of something. I hugged her.

"You did the best you could my dear friend. For that I do not blame you, I thank you." I said as I held onto her slightly smaller frame. She hugged back tightly.

"I-I didn't want to lose my only friend. I was so worried!" She said, tears began to hit my shoulder. I looked out to my Blackstones, worried and confused.

"I'm fine Luna. Really, you shouldn't be so worried about me. I hate to see you like this. You are an incredible per... pony. You deserve a better friend than me." I said as I looked at a the reflective surface of the obsidian throne. "I'm a monster inside and out now." I muttered, this caused Luna to lean back and slap me on the left side of my face. Her tears fell freely now.

"You are not a monster! You are the only friend I've had in the last one thousand years! I know you're a good person even if you don't!" She shouted through tears. "You showed care for my wellbeing even when you held me captive in this castle! You killed one of your own for me because I said he violated me! You cared about my feelings during Nightmare Night! Most importantly, you showed me that I can be something I never thought I could be!" I looked at her in confusion.

"What's that?" I asked, her fur turned black for a moment, she looked at me with determination.

"A Wolf Queen" She said and I felt that same adrenaline rush. But this time I felt exhilaration as well. She felt like one of us. A Blackstone princess... A Wolf Queen once more. I handed her a small amulet. A silver ring obsidian orb with the Legion emblem engraved in it.

"Welcome to the Legion, Blackstone." I said. Upon her look of confusion, I explained. "My mother's... dealings with recruiting were... a little overzealous when it came to royals. She felt they were too disloyal and selfish. You just proved her wrong. Kneel." I instructed. She knelt and I grabbed a ceremonial sword off of the wall. I held it above her head. "For loyalty in friendship, and for honor in actions; I, Abigor, raise you. Stand, knight of the Blackstone Legion." As she stood up I held the sword out to her. It was a sturdy Warden's blade, designed with stars and moon engravings. She took the hilt and looked at the blade in awe.

"I know how much you like stars. I also went to the blacksmith to get you armor. You'll find the set in your personal quarters. From the written legends I've read, I know you have the practice with swords." I said. She looked at me and squealed in joy as she hugged me once more. She started saying 'thank you' repeatedly until I held up a hand. "Now, get your armor on, and report any discrepancies to the blacksmith. I will be seeing to a personal matter that has just come up."

She nodded and walked down the hallway. I walked the other way. Towards the only man in the entire Legion that knew how to craft fine metal trinkets. As I walked up to him, he stood at attention. I asked him one question, and one question only.

"Do you know how to make a metal mask?" A smirk was his response.

"Is grass green?" He asked, prompting a small smile from me.

This was going to be one for the history books.
