A Twilight's Shadow

-Twilight's Report: Day 8 (Part 2)

Turns out my bad feelings were correct. Apparently there is a giant swarm of darkness about to evade Equestria because the barrier of light produced by the ponies influencing it is diminishing. Now, we're supposed to stop it by using the elements to defeat the tyrant King Sombra, who is possessed by some entity and is responsible for usurping the Crystal Kingdom, and bringing upon the darkness.

Honestly, I have no idea what to expect. I just learned less than half an hour ago that Equestria is about to be invaded, and we're supposed to liberate it back from a giant force bigger than anything me and my friends ever encountered. So yeah, i'm freaking out a little bit here, though not as much as I thought I would. I'm mostly worried about what happens AFTER we complete our mission, if we even do complete it No, I need to stay strong, and have faith in myself and my friends that we're going to pull through. My doubt will only become a weakness if I allow it to, and i'm not about to do that. Anyway's, after we complete it, I don't know what everypony would do. Be angry at the Princesses for letting it happen, and not telling them about it? Rebel? Maybe their light will shine again? I'll have to save those thoughts for later. One thing at a time.

All my friends seem to be handling the situation quite well. Rarity isn't dramatically fainting onto a couch (If she can even bring it all the way up here). Rainbow Dash seems pretty relaxed and eager, but still there's a little hint of nervousness that she would never admit to. Applejack seems depressed. I think it's the fact that she's going to loose her entire farm, which is practically her whole life. Fluttershy seems to feel the same. Probably worried about what's going to happen to all of her animals, since she would never be able to save them all in time, only to shelter them for what is about to come. Can't help but feel sympathy for the animals too.

Pinkie Pie's still being Pinkie.

I just want to get this over with; I just want everyone to be happy again, and have things back to the way they were before; I just want to be with my friends, and have fun, and act like there isn't a care in the world. But now, it's like Equestria I knew doesn't even exist anymore. It's all dark and depressing. When the darkness comes in, maybe there won't even be a difference.

Maybe there won't even be an Equestria to save.
