Ch. 1 Seeing the Dark Future
It was a beautiful night and everypony was having a good time, because it was the Grand Galloping Gala. Black Crescent walked outside to get some fresh air when he heard somepony crying in the royal gardens.
He walked towards where the crying was and saw a unicorn mare. Her body was a dull greenish-blue and her eyes were deep blue. Her mane and tail, dark with light blue streaks, were short and straight, cut at an angle, high and short at the back and longer at the front, reaching the middle of her chest. Her cutie mark was a pale blue crystal ball, a swirl of reds, greens, blues and yellows seemingly floating around inside. The shining crystal ball stood on a golden three-pronged base, the prongs held in place at the bottom by a circle of what appeared to be metal, the same material as the rest of the base.
"Hello. Are you alright?" asked Black Crescent with concern as he slowly walked towards her.
"No! Does it look like I'm all right?! Just leave me alone!" she yelled sadly and continued to cry. Black Crescent stopped walking and sat down a few feet away from the mare. "Didn't you hear me? Go away," she said sadly.
"I heard you, but I'm just going to sit here and enjoy the night before going back in," Black Crescent said calmly. It was quiet in the garden and the mare had finally stopped crying. "So, miss, may I ask you what your name is?" Black Crescent spoke curiously as he tried to make conversation with the mare.
"Ah. My name is Crystal Prophecy," she said, sounding less sad. She didn't make eye contact with Black Crescent. She just looked at the stars and the white full moon in the sky.
"My name is Black Crescent. It's nice to meet you, Crystal Prophecy," he said happily. He was glad that she was finally talking to him. It was quiet again and Black Crescent got up. "Well, I've got to get back in there. I hope you have a good night, Crystal Prophecy," he said with an air of joy. He started to walk away.
"Wait," Crystal Prophecy said sadly. Black Crescent stopped.
"What is it, Crystal Prophecy?" Black Crescent asked, concerned.
"My talent is fortune-telling, and I saw something that I need to get off my chest. If you don't mind, can you listen?" Crystal Prophecy asked hopefully.
"I'll be more than glad to listen," Black Crescent responded happily. He gave her a friendly smile as he sat back down.
"I saw a dark figure with bat wings holding a dark red orb. It was saying something about death, but what really made me sad was seeing somepony stop a blade from killing me. It's just… I don't know…" Crystal Prophecy said sadly. New tears started to form. Black Crescent walked up to her and gave her a hug.
"There, there. Let it all out," Black Crescent said, sounding hurt, holding the mare who had started to cry again. She calmed down. "So, how about we go back inside?" Black Crescent asked happily. She nodded her head and they went back into the castle, neither of them knowing that something bad had now begun to happen.
Until next time. Please review or PM. Also, thank you, EagleTsubasa, my beta, for your OC, Crystal Prophecy.
