The Return of Darkness-part 1
When you make a mistake you only notice your mistake after you’ve done it. You then wish you could go back in time and change things. But it simply isn’t so....
On a dark night I was running at top speed through the halls of the Canterlot castle. Guards running behind me and screaming to stop, my black main flowing through the air, my chocolate like brown eyes glowing in the dark, and my green coat scratching on every corner. But I just had to keep going. I had to bring this book to a safer place before it fell in the wrong hooves. Turning to the left I found a door that was unlocked. Without thinking I went inside and closed the door behind me. The guards simply passed by. I turned around to find Princess Luna starring down at me. I took a step back knowing that I had just made another mistake.
“Who are you, that dares to enter our room!?” Luna asked or was it more like a scream? What should I do? Was I ready to lie to a family member? No. The truth is always the best choice. I tried to speak but no sound came out. Luna looked at me in confusion. Great! I had forgotten that I was under some sort of spell which didn’t allow me to speak. How it happened I don’t really remember. I looked around for a pice of paper and a pencil. After finding one I wrote down: My name is 7. I’m sorry for barging in your room, but I’m trying to hide from the guards. I also lost my voice. Can you please help me?
There was a moment of silence. Luna looked at me then back at the paper. I could tell she found the name kind of weird.
“Ok..... but why are you hiding from the guards? Are you a thief?” I sighed and wrote: Well, you see, when I was a filly I used to spent my time in the library. One day I found a very dangerous book! Celestia found out and quickly transferred it to a secure place. During that a piece of paper fell of the book and I picked it up. I never dared to read it until two weeks ago. When I saw what it said inside I knew that I had to steal the book and bring it far away from ponykind so it could destroyed without harming anypony! A pony offered to destroy it cause my magic isn’t that powerful. That’s why I’m here.
Two days ago I was at a Cafe talking with a pony. It said it had heard my conversation before and was ready to offer it’s help. I wasn’t so sure if I should trust it, but the pony kept insisting that I steal the book. Eventually after a long talk I agreed and before I knew it I was knocked out. I woke up in a field near Canterlot not knowing what happened. My head was hurting and I was a little dizzy. A Pegasus passed by flying over me. I tried to scream but no sound came out. I froze, my eyes widened and I realized that my voice had just been stolen!
Anyways back to the story. Luna’s eyes widened and I could tell she had so many questions. Though I couldn’t answer them all.
“May we see the book?” I took another step back. “Don’t worry we just want to see it.” I sighed once again and took the book with my magic out of my bag, carefully placing it on the floor. It was just a brown book with a sigh written on it saying: Do Not Touch!
“Have you ever opened it?” I nodded. Luna carefully proceeded to open it with her magic. We both look inside and saw the the story of Nightmare Moon, just as I had expected. But wait! Theirs a new story? The story of Daybreaker? As if that wasn’t confusing enough Luna flipped the page an a third story appeared!
“Pain Bringer? Never heard of her. Have you?” I shook my head. Though looking at the picture she seemed so familiar.
“And why is this book so dangerous?” I took out the pice of paper that explained everything. It said: Warning! This may seem like an ordinary book about the most powerful villains but it’s not! This book can only be picked up with magic! Avoid touching it with your hooves at all cost! What will happen is terrible! THIS IS NOT A PRANK!!!!
“The most powerful villains? Sounds like something we should discuss with Celestia.” Celestia? No way! I jumped in front of Luna blocking the door. Luna understood what I wanted to say. “Would you be so kind to tell us why we shouldn’t ask for help?” I shook my head. “Look, if we are going to help you with this then we need to know everything.” I sighed. Fine. I wrote: I don’t want anypony else getting them self in danger.
“I see.... very well then. We will try on our own.” Without looking Luna accidentally stepped on the book! It started to glow and we both took a step back covering our eyes due to the bright light. Before us Nightmare Moon began to appear with a sinister smile on her face! We both stood there not knowing what to do. If it wouldn’t have been for the blast of magic that hit Luna I would have stayed still. I jumped in front of Luna, wings open wide and my magic ready to fight. Nightmare Moon shot another blast, but I blocked it. I tried shooting back but I just kept missing. What was wrong with me? Then we both stopped to hear the footsteps coming our way. Nightmare Moon flew out the window with her evil laugh filling the night. At that very moment the door opened and Celestia came in. Luna was just getting up and we both stood there staring at Celestia.
“What happened here? And 7 what are you doing here?” She asked. Not good. How am I supposed to tell her what happened? I give out a sigh and hand her a pice of paper saying: Well how do I put this? Nightmare Moon is back!
Celestia looks at me then at Luna then at me again. “Is this some sort of joke?” I shake my head and Luna assists me.
“Sister it is all true, we both saw how Nightmare Moon stood before us.” Celestia takes a moment to think then asks:
“Very well, but still doesn’t explain what 7 is doing here.” Luna looks in confusion realizing that Celestia knows who I am.
“You know 7?”
“Yes indeed I do. She’s my daughter.” There’s a moment of silence. Luna looks once again confused.
“7? Is this true?” I sigh and write: Yes it’s true I’m Celestia’s daughter.
