“The elder sister took responsibility, for both sun and moon…and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since…” finished a confused yet intrigued Twilight.

This particular story was how and when Nightmare night originated from; by celebrating Nightmare moons banishment, or the tyrant’s defeat, or Lunar princess’s imprisonment. Many names were given to the Solar princess’s sister. But the main one was Nightmare moon, the ruler off the night, and the spawn off all dark yet unfamiliar creatures off the night. Rumours off the event still lingered today. Some saying she wanted attention, some saying Nightmare moon wanted revenge. But the main rumour was that she did all this for the sake of power. No one knew.

Many questions wandered in her mind. Why did Nightmare moon do this? Did Princess Celestia have any chance to save her sister? What would happen if this tale was real?! Well, it didn’t matter. Nightmare moons return must be one big lie. Right?..

Still, one unrecognisable yet slightly familiar name was repeated over and over in her mind.

“Hmmm…the Elements off Harmony...I know I have heard off those before…but where?...” Twilight stated, staring into the beautiful, clear sky that was present all over Equestria.

A few moments later, Twilight started sprinting towards to her chambers, ignoring and making excuses to the many ponies that waved, wanted to talk to her, or even smiled. She needed answers, she wanted answers. She couldn’t leave this topic in the dust, she needed to know where she heard off those words before, and why they felt so...familiar?? She knows that she had heard those distant words before, a very, very long time ago. Maybe her parents discussed about it?? Possibly Celestia??? As much as she thought, she couldn’t get her head around it.

As fast as she could, she galloped towards the tower, leading to her personal chambers. As soon as she reached the entrance, Twilight excitingly flung the doors open, searching all around for her no.1 assistant, Spike.

“Spike!..Spike!!..” after a moment, she found her no.1 assistant, lying on the floor rather dizzy and in a bit off shock. “Spike. There you are!” she exclaimed, trotting up the stairs, finding a large collection off books, left and right.

“Quick, find me an old copy off predictions and prophecies” Twilight asked, now glancing at the baby dragon. She noticed that he was still trying to get up, realising that she had knocked him onto the ground when she opened the doors. “Sorry Spike, I didn’t realise you were at the door, I’m just a bit over my head right now”

“No, its fine Twilight, you didn’t see me” Spike calmly said, now running towards Twilight. “Predictions and prophecies aye? Give me a second to get the book, its pretty high up” he sheepishly said, now aiming towards to the ladder.

After a minute, Spike retrieved the book, now giving it to Twilight. She glanced down at the adorable purple/green dragon, giving him an affectionate smile. “Thank you Spike, you can have a little nap if you want, I know how tired you must feel, especially when you’ve been helping me constantly for the past two days”

“Thank you, Twilight!!” Spike excitingly shouted. Running off to his bed. Twilight couldn’t help but smile even more. She knew how much Spike loved his naps.

Anyways, she quickly levitated the book, now placing it on her desk.

“The Elements off Harmony…the Elements off Harmony…ah-ha!!” she squeaked, reading vigorously at the information in-front of her.

“Okay, so nothing helpful so far. I already know all off this!!” Twilight shouted, putting her hooves into her head. “There must be something useful”

Continuing reading, she found something rather. Interesting. “The legend has it on the longest day of the 1000th year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about night-time eternal!!”

Twilight gasped, eyes widening at this very statement. ‘This has to be some sort off misunderstanding, if this is real…Midnight moons release will be on the same night as the Summer Sun Celebration!’ she thought, now panicking at the discovery she has come across.

Worryingly, she opened a scroll, and started to write on it. As much as she wanted Spike to write this, she promised him to have a nap. And besides, she knew a spell to teleport the message to the princess. Hopefully, she will read this as soon as she receives it.

‘Dear Princess, Celestia, I have recently discovered that the topic of the Mare of the moon, Nightmare moon, will return the day after tomorrow, on the same day as the Summer Sun Celebration. Please Princess, we must make sure his terrible prophecy does not happen, otherwise every pony will be in danger! I await your response. Your most faithful student, Twilight’

With the last word, she gathered a small amount off energy in her horn, releasing it onto the scroll, sealing it and teleporting it to the Princess. With a small sigh of relief, she slumped down, staring at the crystal-clear window in front of her.

“Hopefully this is just a misunderstanding…this cannot happen- “With a pause, a green light was noticeable in the corner off her eye, leading her to Spike’s bed, now in a deep slumber. As carefully as she could be, Twilight lifted the scroll in front of her, quietly trotting off away from Spike.

Without hesitation, she opened the scroll, revealing Princess Celestia’s response.

“My dearest, most faithful student, Twilight, you know I value your diligence, and I trust you completely, but you simply must stop reading those dusty old books. Many books have truth in them, but some hold bear lies. I should know, I was the one to cast the spell on my dear sister. As your mentor and friend, please drop the topic Twilight, and just relax for now, there is something I want you and Spike to do tomorrow. From the one and only, Princess Celestia. PS: Your teleportation accuracy (in long distances) have improved! Keep up the work.”

Twilight couldn’t believe what her mentor just wrote to her. She had to be joking. The book she read has only proven truth from past battles Celestia told her as a filly. She could remember Princess Celestia telling her about all the adventures and fights she went through, as Twilight would fall asleep right next to her. Twilights nerves have not gone away. A part off her knew this wasn’t right, not one bit.

But she had to move that aside for now. She had to get prepared, for whatever Princess Celestia has planned for tomorrow…

Author's Note

Okay, so i hope this is okay for chapter1! I know it's a bit short, but this is how i want it to be left off. I added some original ideas to the beginning and some things from the actual episode.

Things will be revealed as the chapters go by. I want it to be a mystery for some stuff, even if most off it can be obvious.
Ill release a chapter once or twice a week, I'm quite busy a lot.

So yeah, enjoy your day and if there is some stuff you dislike, please tell me so i can improve, bye!! :)
