Nightmare Moon's Two Students

Nightmare Moon had done that. She beat Celestia and now the night lasted forever. She couldn’t be more than happy. Now there was no way the ponies could deny their night. Just thinking about it made her feel proud in her chest. Although she was technically a queen now, she felt sorry for the foals. Because most were afraid of her. She didn’t want the foals to be afraid of her. So she had an idea: She could do a school for foals. She has done three types of schools: One for earth pony, one for unicorn and one for pegasus. And that’s what she did, now she had three schools. The foals weren’t as scared as before and that made Nightmare Moon happy. She was now on her throne until a sound from the door caught her eye, a Lunar guard went to Nightmare Moon and bowed, “My princess, the gifted unicorn school is having a test to see who has the potential to be your student. Would you like to go there to see?”

“Sure. Show me the way”, replied Nightmare Moon.

When Nightmare Moon and the guard arrived at school, Nightmare Moon went to the room where the test was taking place. Nightmare Moon watched in the doorway, she saw a lavender unicorn filly. She couldn’t help but notice that the filly’s dark colors made her happy. The foal looked nervous, she used a growth spell in the plant and she succeeded. Suddenly the filly felt she was being watched and looked to where Nightmare Moon was, “p-princess… I…” Suddenly, a Cutie Mark appeared on the flank of Twilight. Cutie Mark was a six-pointed pink star surrounded by five white stars. Nightmare Moon smiled as she saw Cutie Mark from Twilight.

“Twilight, I see you have potential. Would you like to be my student?” said Nightmare Moon.

Twilight was surprised before smiling and answering, “yes!!!” that said, she started jumping with joy.

Nightmare Moon smiled as she saw the joy of the filly, I have never seen such a happy filly in my entire life.

Suddenly they heard another sound. Twilight and Nightmare Moon went to the living room from which he saw. They saw a yellow unicorn foal with a cutie mark of a waning moon with three stars making. Nightmare Moon couldn’t help but smile as she saw Cutie Mark from the filly. Nightmare Moon went to the filly. Twilight accompanied her, “Moondancer”

Moondancer looked at Nightmare Moon, “yes?”

“I see you have potential. Would you like to be my student?” said Nightmare Moon.

Moondancer smiled, “yes. Of course”, Moondancer noted Twilight Sparkle.

“Ah. Hi Twilight”, greeted Moondancer.

“Hi Moondancer. Are you excited to be a student of the princess of Equestria?” said Twilight Sparkle.

“Yes, Twilight”, answered Moondancer.

Nightmare Moon was curious, “Are you two friends?”

Twilight and Moondancer looked at Nightmare Moon, “yes, princess. Why?” replied Twilight Sparkle.

“For nothing. Just to know”, replied Nightmare Moon.

Twilight Sparkle was still confused, but then smiled, “ok”

“Well, follow me. I’ll show you your rooms”, said Nightmare Mooon. She started to walk. She wondered if they would ever find out the truth. The truth that Celestia ruled Equestria and that Celestia was banned by Nightmare Moon. Maybe she should hide the books that spoke of Equestria’s past. But she didn’t want the fillies to think she was hiding something.

They were already in the castle, Twilight and Moondancer looked at the castle. Twilight didn’t understand why the decoration of the castle was just a night theme. Twilight wanted to ask but she decided not to. As Moondancer, she felt the opposite. She loved the castle decor, “Twilight, Moondancer”

Twilight and Moondancer stopped looking at the decor and looked at Nightmare Moon standing by a closed blue door, “this is your room”

Moondancer was doubtful, “Will Twilight and I share this room?”

Nightmare Moon made a cute smile as she closed her eyes, “yes. why?”

“Just to be sure”, answered Moondancer.

Twilight entered the room and was amazed. But she was amazed when she saw the telescope on the balcony. She ran to the telescope, “Moondancer, look! So many constellations! The night is so beautiful!”

Moondancer smiled as she gazed admiringly at the night sky, “wow…”

Nightmare Moon just watched her students. She was glad somepony had enjoyed her night, “as much as I like you to enjoy my work. I want to warn you that you will have class tomorrow”

Moondancer went to Nightmare Moon, “are you going to teach us?”

“Yes, Moondancer. Are you excited?” said Nightmare Moon.

Moondancer smiled, “yes”

“Well, I hope you two sleep well”, said Nightmare Moon, before leaving.

Twilight Sparkle pulled the blanket with her magic, lay down and covered herself. Her blanket had star designs. While Moondancer’s blanket had moon designs. Twilight was excited for her classes tomorrow. She wondered what spell she would learn. Moondancer was also excited for classes. She also pulled back the blanket, lay down and covered herself. It took a few minutes for Twilight and Moondancer to get to sleep. But when they got to sleep, they had sweet dreams.

Nightmare Moon was already far from her students’ room. She went to the library and took the book that told her story and Celestia to read.

‘Once upon a time, in the enchanted kingdom of Equestria, two princess sisters who ruled together and ensured harmony to the whole kingdom.’

‘To do this, the older sister used her unicorn powers to lift the sun to the heavens, and the younger sister brought the moon to start the night.’

‘Thus, the two sisters maintained the balance of the kingdom and its subjects ranging from various types of ponies’

‘But as time went on, the younger sister was resentful. The ponies enjoyed and played during the day that their older sister brought, but at night they were tired and only slept during their beautiful night.’

‘Until one day, the younger sister refused to lower the moon and allow the dawn. Her older sister tried to convince her, but her newly youthful heart had turned her into a frightening unicorn of darkness: Nightmare Moon! She swore it would bring darkness and that night would be eternal.’

Reluctantly, the older sister resorted to the most powerful magic known in the kingdom of ponies: The Elements of Harmony! But even with the elements, it was not possible to defeat her. Because the younger sister is no longer connected to the elements. Nightmare Moon, with her magic, imprisoned her older sister permanently on the moon. Nightmare Moon then got what she wanted. And the night has been eternal ever since.’

Nightmare Moon has finished reading. She let out a breath. She didn’t want her students to find out the truth. Nightmare Moon feared that if one of them found out the truth, one of them would go against her. Maybe she should hide this book. But where? She looked at a wing that read “Forbidden Magic .” Maybe she should hide there. Yes, that was what she was going to do. She entered the room and put the book on a shelf that was far away from the door. Now it was hoping that her students wouldn’t discover this room.
