Prompt #193: "Darkness Inside"
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCelestia,
I know it’s been awhile since my last letter, but I had to make sure that it would remain undetected. I can’t stress enough how important it is for Luna to remain in the dark on this, and she’s been regaining her power exponentially over the last year. I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to worry she may know of my existence.
In that light, I feel that we should accelerate our plans. The sooner I can get out of this mental prison, the better. Honestly, I prefered being alone on the moon. At least then I had the stars to keep me company. In here I am truly alone. I just hope that you haven’t given up on me and stopped checking the spot where I used to leave messages. At any rate, I wish this gets to you soon.
I must say, though, that you did an excellent job of giving yourself deniability. Telling Twilight that I was an old pony’s tale? Genius. And then coming up with some story about wanting her to make friends and defeat me? And don’t get me started on how you escaped Ponyville town hall under everypony’s noses. I still can’t figure out how you managed to pull that one off.
I was afraid that the changeling queen would take our land away from us, but those fillies made themselves useful and ousted her and her swarm. Perhaps we could use them.
I have to go now, sister, as my other half is starting to wake. I will return to a dormant state again, but I will be watching. Waiting for my signal. For my time to escape this empty cell. And when this is over, I think we should come up with something a bit more... permanent than banishing Luna to the moon. We wouldn’t want to risk her coming back like I did.
Your sister,
Nightmare Moon
