For those that don't know the past events that lead up to this point in the story I'll try to summarize and explain things as it pops up but I won't be giving spoilers. I may write the past events as other stories.

Chapter 1 Visiting an old friend

It was a beautiful day in Equestria. The sun was up at its highest point shining down light on a gloomy graveyard. In this graveyard were many graves of ponies who had fought in the war against the zebras but among them all was one unique grave. There was a shining star marking the grave as if it was a cross.

Surrounding it were many flowers and some gold like trinkets. A sword with a black blade also stood next to the grave. The sword had many signs of being used often. Scratches were all over the blade and the leather grip on the handle was somewhat torn.

Next to the grave stood one lone Alicorn with a colorful mane. It was Princess Celestia who had come to pay respect to her star pupil Twilight Sparkle who was known as Boss Twilight after the war against the zebras.

The battle against the zebras was finally over thanks to her efforts but… She was slowly dying. Every time she put effort into fighting as hard as she could her body couldn’t take it.
Coughing up blood was the only sign they had to go with.

Eventually she died saving her friends from a natural disaster, one that required massive strength her body shouldn’t have been able to produce yet. With all her might she saved them, she died honorably. She became known as a war hero after all, she was the one who saved Equestria by single handedly taking on the zebras alone with immense power. The day she became known as Boss Twilight.

A familiar sound was heard in the graveyard, Celestia’s ears perked up as she was lost in thought. The sound of a portal opening out of nowhere. She also heard footsteps stepping towards her in the rain.

When she turned around to look, she saw a gold coated mare with gray and black striped mane. She didn’t look as happy as she was. Daring Do was standing before her to see her best friend’s grave and pay her respects, so Celestia thought.

Daring Do steps forward to the grave and sets down some beautiful flowers that Celestia had never seen before. Wanting to ask where she got them, Daring Do then speaks before she could.

“I got you these flowers Boss Twilight. When I saw those flowers in that wasteland of Equestria I thought they’d be a good gift for your grave.”

“Wasteland?” Celestia asked confused. Celestia had never heard of a wasteland in Equestria unless she was referring to the desert which was unlikely.

“Yeah it's from an alternate version of Equestria me and Boss Twilight visited before. Say princess, may I ask you something?”

“What is it Ms Do?” Celestia turned to face Daring Do.

“How did she die? Did somepony kill her?” Daring Do asked the last question with a slight hint of anger.

“No, nopony killed her. She died saving her friends with incredible strength her body couldn’t handle.” Celestia spoke as her ears drooped recalling how her pupil died.

“That's a side effect of using super magic. It increases your strength permanently, but... I guess if you’re not like me you would die from using it so much.” Daring Do turned to look at the princess as if knowing what she’ll ask next. “After she and I defeated the God of Darkness and ancient magic died along with it, me and Rainbow Dash were stuck in Angel State. We may not look like it but we have immortality.” She looks back at Twilight's grave with a sad smile. “I knew this day would come. The day I would outlive her.”

“You’re immortal!” Celestia looked at Daring Do in complete shock. She knew Alicorns were immortal but never heard of a Pegasus becoming immortal.

“It's not like I wanted to become immortal it was forced upon me. A complete accident.” She looks down at Twilight’s grave. “Unlike me and Rainbow Dash, Twilight wasn’t stuck in Angel State like I was. In fact she never achieved Angel State like I did.”

“Angel State?” Celestia questioned. She had to admit this did intrigue her and if anypony knew the guilt and pain that comes with immortality she’d know best.

“It's also known as super magic level 10, a much harder to reach state for any normal pony but we’ve used it long enough that it was quite easy to obtain. The Gods called it Angel State because of how powerful and close to god level we can get.” Daring Do turned to face Celestia.

“I should probably explain to you all about ancient magic and its origins too while I'm at it. It’s got quite a history in my world. You got the time?” Daring Do asked the Princess knowing how busy the Princess can get and figured she’d ask for permission before explaining.

“I guess I have the time. I came here to visit Boss Twilight after all.” Celestia took a seat down a nearby bench that wasn’t too far from Twilight’s grave. Daring Do followed and took a seat next to the Princess.

“It all started when I discovered ancient magic for the first time. I found it in a lost temple that no pony had discovered yet. I guess it was pure luck that I managed to find it or maybe it was destiny. In the temple was a book filled with the entire language of ancient magic, a type of magic anypony could use if they knew how to speak the language. It consumes stamina to cast any kind of spell, even if you wanted to bring somepony back from the dead.”

“Wait, what? It has the power to revive ponies? Celestia looked at Daring Do in shock yet again.

“Yeah it used to, but that sole power was the reason why I hid it from my Equestria. Anypony who casts that spell sacrifices themselves to bring someone back. I didn’t want that power falling into the wrong hands so I learned the language in order to protect it from everypony.”

“Maybe you can-” Celestia started to say but was cut off by an angry Daring Do.

“DON’T SUGGEST IT….. I know what you’re going to ask but it's impossible. Ancient magic died along with its Gods. Even if I wanted to... No.. AS MUCH as I want to I can’t bring Twilight back from the dead like I did for her friends.” Celestia noticed that Daring Do was shaking as she tried to keep her emotions in. Seeing this Celestia gave Daring Do a hug.

“I’m sorry Ms. Do, it must be quite hard for you to go through this sadness inside you forever. You need to open up to somepony.” Celestia said with a concerned tone to Daring Do.

“It’s alright Celestia I don’t want to bother you or anypony with my feelings.” Daring Do said putting on a fake smile.

“It’s not healthy Daring, you need to let it out eventually but I won't pry.” She stands up from the bench and looks at Daring Do “So tell me, what does super magic even do?”

“Well it’s just a form of ancient magic that increases the user’s strength more than normal.
There's 10 stages of super magic, each one changing your body to resemble a color of the rainbow starting from purple. After all 7 it goes from silver, gold and then the complete rainbow at stage 10. Each stage pushes your body to it’s limits more so than the last stage. Twilight only managed to use her dark super magic to level 9; The Golden State.”

“There's a dark variation of super magic?”

“Yeah and it's not a very good type of variation. If Twilight overused it she would’ve died but she didn’t.”

After Daring Do spoke there was nothing but silence for a couple of minutes, as if breaking the awkward silence Celestia looked toward Daring Do. She couldn’t stand seeing anypony like this, so she came up with a solution. One that might help her.

“Well since you're here to visit our world why don’t you go see Twilight's friends in Ponyville.” Celestia gave Daring Do a reassuring smile.

“I guess it can’t hurt to see how they’ve been.” With that said Daring Do flies on over to Ponyville leaving Celestia behind at the graveyard.

Celestia watches as she sees her fly quite fast for a pegasus. Celestia alone in the graveyard decided to put red roses down next to Daring Do’s flowers, smiling as she looks at the flowers.

“You have great friends Boss Twilight.” Celestia said looking at the grave one last time. She then heard wings flapping and heading towards her. When she turned to see who it was, it was her sister.

Princess Luna still had her long giant dark blue mane streaming across her head like a flag in the wind. Her dark blue coat was a bit messy as if she’d forgotten to groom this morning.

“Come to pay your respects dear sister?” She spoke. Celestia nodded and looked at the grave.

“Just visiting an old friend. And how are things going in the dream world?” Celestia turns around to face her sister, Luna.

“Not all that good. These nightmares ponies keep getting are starting to increase by the day.” Luna said, taking a seat on the bench. Celestia followed and sat next to her sister as well.

“But we won the war, didn't we? Why are the ponies of Equestria so afraid?” Celestia asked.

“I don’t know sister but it’s not getting any better, it’s getting worse and worse each day. I’ll be honest, I don’t know if I can handle this job if this keeps up. I don’t know what's causing them. Each pony has a different nightmare, it’s also quite easy to get them out of it.” Celestia looked at her sister.

“You don’t think these nightmares are natural do you?” Celestia looked up at the sky as if pondering the situation.

“No I don't think it is, I’ll have to investigate this matter further. To be honest I thought it was natural at first until it became more frequent. It’s starting to become quite tiresome for the princess of the night.” Luna said as she lowered her head down.

“Don’t worry about it too much Luna, I’m sure it’ll get resolved in no time. In the meantime, how about we grab ourselves a bite to eat.” Luna’s ears perked up at the mention of food as well as her head raising back up.

“Yes that would be splendid. Honestly, I was so tired I kind of skipped breakfast this morning.”

Celestia couldn’t help but giggle. With that they both head off leaving the graveyard behind.
