“What do you mean you can’t find him?!?” The storm king slammed his fist on his throne. After hearing about rumors of a new alicorn he knew the colt would be perfect for his collection. Things hadn’t quite gone his way however. The seller had ran off, probably taking the goods for himself or finding another buyer.

“My apologies your highness.” The messenger replied. “We are tracking the minotaur but he has remained one hoof ahead of us.”

The king rubbed his chin. “What about the colt?”

“If he did sell him off we have yet to learn where. It is possible they simply failed to capture the colt.” One of his advisers interjected.

As the king sat there he thought about his plans. Equestria was one of the last places he would attempt to conquer, aside from the dragon lands, in his quest for world domination. While his army was more than adequate to attack the nation he still needed something to counter the solar princess.

Nightmare was pleased with the colt. He had found a colony of her thestrals, a small cities worth of them to her delight. The thestrals had grown in numbers during her time trapped on her moon.

“They’ve grown so much over the years during our absence.” While most of them simply wished to live their lives she hoped to find enough to directly support her when she returned.

You shouldn’t attempt this.

“Oh be quiet. Our little ponies of the night will remember to love us.”

My ponies. Nightmare let out a huff at this. She had better things to concentrate on. With a small portion of her power returned to her she could now dream walk into others that had made contact with Dawn if away from her sister. This now included a colony of Thestrals.

“Oh this will be wonderful.” Nightmare licked her lips and began delving into the dreams of her thestrals.

Around Vespertilio most of the thestrals began tossing in their sleep a few on the other hoof smiled.

Author's Note

Kind of out of good colors for Nightmare so for now Nightmare will always talk aloud to herself and Luna will have the blue, eventually they will switch after the Elements slap her around.
