Lost cave of Princess Shuteye

Lighthouse saw the colt was flying futher and she shuddered staring ahead at the rising sun...She wondered how she was going to get through this as the colt took a swift turn into a cave.

He set her down, and as soon as her hooves met the wet cave floor she sprinted for the exit.

"Where d'ya think your going?" he asks, flying ahead and skidding infrount of her. She huffs snarling at him.

"Come on" he nudges her foward deeper into the cave.

Lighthouse spun round "I THINK I CAN WALK MYSELF!" she growled. He gave her an unamused look. She could now see he was a black pegasus with a smooth silky mane and bright purple eyes that seemed to shine in the dark

She began walking and the cave opened into a massive room a few strands of light filtered through where a hole was left, there was a pond over in the corner. A light mint pegasus, who was only a filly, with a white mane and a light mint streak running through it.

"Universic!" she grinned as soon as she saw the black pegasus, she ran over jumping around with excitement.

"H-Hey Sweet song" he smiled slightly before moving foward, Lighthouse warily followed him.
As she did, she could see a ledge that had steps carved to reach the top.

"P-Princess Shuteye" Universic said, making most of the pegasi go quiet. A thing bodied Alicorn stepped out, about the same age as Princess Cadence or Luna, but alot thinner.
She was a light brown, with a light blonde main. Her cutie mark was a dark bat and she wore a bat crown above her matted mane. She looked so weak.

"S-Subjects we have a pegasus here who is destined to save our tribe!" she declared her voice choking with something that made Lighthouse cringe.

Who was this 'Princess Shuteye'?

The Princess looked around the cave at the pegasi and released a sigh.

She sat down, her ice blue eyes shinning. "My magic is running out, and i cant produce most of the fear of night...." she croaked.

Fear of the night? what?

"B-But Princess!" a voice made everyone turn. A black pegasus with a red mane, and seemed slightly stunned looked at Shuteye.
"Don't you also help young fillys conquer fears, and help sleep well?" he asks.

"Yes...But my magic will not allow me to do such things anymore..." her horn sparked with blue but it fazed out.

Lighthouse looked around, starting to worry, how long had these pegasi been here?
