PonyALT: Black Spectrum

The moon stood at the center of the dark sky surrounded by thousands of stars of varying color. This is the only thing left in the world that brought a smile to Trixie's face, all those stars. She and Twilight now sit quietly in a carriage drawn by two pegasus guards. Trixie glanced over at Twilight who strared deeply into the distance obviously excited to reach City-04 beyond the mountains below so that she may start her test. Twilight felt those eyes upon her and turned toward Trixie only for her to quickly look down at the flooring of the carriage. Twilight used her hoof to lift Trixie's head back up so she could make eye contact once more. "When we reach our new home City-04, I want you to rest that hoof of yours for the rest of the day. I'm going to explore the town". Trixie smiled, "Thank you, mistress Twilight". With a nod and a light smile to her slave, twilight turned to the head of the carriage to see the lights of City-04 growing in the distance. Bright blue lights everywhere. They touched done in the center of town with a rough slam as the carriage struck the cobblestone road beneath them. Twilight fell onto her side upon the floor boards and Trixie slipped out of the carriage completely although she wasn't injured. Twilight climb back onto her hooves and jumped out of the carriage, furiously stomping around to the front to confront the pegasi. "You damned idiots! You could've killed me!", she screamed aloud, her voice echoing throughout the district. "Our apologies, ma'am, we misinterpreted our landing speed". Twilight's eyes and horn began to blacken as she stared down the two pegasi. "That's your excuse?...", she asked in a deathly cold tone. The two pegasi began to wobble slight before one of the passed out completely. "Pl- please-- stop...", the conscious one pleaded before passing out too. Twilight looked down at the two ponies lying nearly lifeless at her hooves. "The false death curse", she muttered, "only a taste of what's to come". She turned over to Trixie who stared gravely at the to unconscious ponies. "Let's go Trixie, now, I'm irritated". Trixie nodded and quickly rushed to the side of her owner.
The two mares made their way up the dark streets of City-04, only lit by magic blue lights the fluttered overhead or the illumination magic of other passing unicorns. Trixie took time to take in her surroundings, acknowledging how, anxious everyone and everything looked, as if City-04 was an collective settlement for anxiety and lost hope. Everyone around her walked with a heavily depressed slump, seemingly oblivious to the world around them. Twilight once again turned her head over to Trixie. "I know...", she said. Trixie looked up as Twilight continued, "Disgusting, aren't they, but that's usually what happens in a inbred settlement like City-04". Trixie nodded, but did not agree with her Mistress. These ponies are trapped
by overwhelming darkness. They finally came to a stop at the edge of town, in front of a large building. "This is it", Twilight said as she coughed a bit before walking inside with Trixie following closlely, "the library, take our things and go upstairs". Trixie looked don't at her sides, almost forgetting about the saddle bags she had been carrying. After so many years they just seem so, light. "Yes, mistress", she responded quietly as she walked forward and began making her way up the stairs. "Don't unpack anything yet", Twilight called out, "there's a specific way I want everything to be". Trixie looked back at her, "Yes, Mistress".
