Luna was alone in the dark cell chrysalis had chosen especially for her. She didn't want to look up at the creature that stood on the other side of the bars. It frightened her then and it frightens her now. She could hear its breathing and feel it staring at her. Just when she thought she could handle its presence it began to cackle "You know you can't ignore me. You couldn't then and you can't now." Said the creature. Luna turned away trying to hide herself in the safety of the shadows "what do you want?" Luna said she tried to sound strong but her voice cracked." you know what I want? What I crave?" asked the creature. "I want power! Anger! And Jealousy! So that I can use it to bring revenge. The revenge that we have wanted for a little over a thousand years now." Luna looked up and walked to the bars of her cell and looked at the nightmare in the face. It was dark and wispy had a shape of an alicorn not much different from herself even though Its shape wasn't solid. "Then why are you here? You won't get what you want, at least not from me. Because I have changed! I am not the same as I was a thousand years ago! So good luck trying to get any of that from me!"
Luna turned away from the Nightmare and returned to her corner as it left out the door growling. Luna was overwhelmed with memories and guilt from the mistakes she made in the past. She looked back on when Nightmare Moon first started. She remembered the hate the jealousy she felt and all because she didn't feel loved and she felt alone. She would have fell into a dark depression and that could have been all but she found an old book that contained dark magic in an abandoned cottage one night which slowly took hold of the jealousy and anger she had and it used it to try to take over Equestria.
Luna knew that chrysalis was being controlled by the nightmare and she knew she needed to stop this before it was too late. However she also knew that her sister didn't just disappear out of nowhere and nightmare wouldn't leave her in a cell like that if it didn't trust that she could not escape. Luna looked around the cell it was entirely empty and there was no evidence of a spell that would stop her from breaking down the bars. Luna stopped she heard a set of hoof steps and a pony emerged from the shadows the ponies eyes glowed green and it dropped a note on the cell floor through the bars. Luna knew there was a catch she picked up the small paper it wasn't a note she was being put on trial by Queen Chrysalis's court. Luna then understood this meant that her sister would be to and if she left Celestia would be sentenced to death. What now? Luna's thoughts raced she needed to find a way out of this. She looked at the small piece a paper then at the floor and just in the corner a small stick lay there Luna grabbed the stick and covered its tip with the oil on the floor of the cell and began to write.
Twilight Sparkle was pulling her wagon through the Everfree Forest doing her best to avoid the poisonjoke flowers and other dangerous plants along the way her friends and a couple of the ponies followed with as much caution. Ever since Chrysalis had returned Ponyvile was torn apart by the changelings and the ponies where forced to leave. some where held captive by the sick creatures that sucked all the love they could find and left most ponies dry of the magic of love. So to protect her friends and the people she loved Twilight found as many real ponies she could and led them through the Everfree to find Zecora. She hoped that she would have some cures and help them find a safe road to the Crystal Empire. Because of the Changelings zecora moved deeper into the Everfree so it was a longer walk than usual but she was sure they would get there safely and head straight to the Crystal Empire as soon as possible. She stopped when she heard spike burp up flames she turned and found that spike had burped up a message the first message in months twilight quickly took it from his small claws the paper was small and had a nice writing on one side that declared Luna was going to court on the other was wet and untidy writing asking that twilight stop by at the old castle. Twilight needed to choose go to castle as Luna asked or Zecora but remembering the danger all of Equestria was in she lead the way to the old castle. Small group if ponies cautiously walked to the old castle pulling carts and wagons behind them.
