Year 2. January 6th.
" You wanted to see me Lazura? " Nightingale slowly poked her head into the doorway of Lazuras' chamber the room was dark not a candle was lit and the wind blew wickedly in from the large open window.
Yet in the darkness she could still see the Unicorn staring at her with those soulless green eyes that burned even in the darkest room like coals set atop a fiery blaze.
The young mare closed the door behind her dull green coat shimmering slightly as her hind corner had the cutie mark of three lavender bats in a triangle shape.
Her Lavender mane flowed back softly though a bit frazzled at the moment., her pointed crimson colored eyes focusing on the larger unicorn giving her sole attention.
" You've been with us for a while now? " Lazura spoke as her voice echoed around the room.
" Yes a little over a year. " Nightingale spoke up as she sat down on the icy marble floor of the room darkness all around her.
" Yes. You've proven yourself to all who inhabit this castle but now you need only prove yourself to me." Lazura spoke eyes digging into the smaller unicorns' eyes like daggers.
" Prove Myself? " Nightingale asked taking a small step forward towards her teacher and caretaker.
" Yes. I have an opening in my council and would like you to join us. no longer an Agent of the Void but a true Void Walker." Lazura spoke as she stood up towering in front of the small mare who quickly bowed before her in respect.
" Anything you wish I shall do my Queen." Nightingale spoke her voice calm and collected.
Lazura slowly walked down the few steps standing before Nightingale as she smiled running a hoof through her mane slowly in silence thinking over her request carefully.
" I need you to go and see Star Seeker down within the city and eliminate her." Lazura spoke in a cold emotionless tone the wind howling outside as a storm was closing in.
Nightingale knew not to question orders when they were given it was a sign of disrespect. Now at long last was her chance to prove herself to be a true Void Walker what better way than her first elimination.
" As you Wish." Nightingale spoke in a calm manner eyes slowly glowing a darker red in the darkness around her.
Year.2 March 29th.
Lightning struck in the dark room as a young cream-colored mare tried to scream for help her pleas' drowned out by the thunder above. her body shivering and trembling as lashes were covering her body bleeding dripping onto the floor below.
" Please no." Star Seeker gasped aloud as Nightingale stepped out of the shadows eyes glowing darker as she gazed down to the pitiful pony before her.
" Lazura sends' her regards." Nightingale rolled her eyes as she used her magic to levitate a small lantern within the air above the sobbing mare who knew what was to come next.
Silence filled the air between them both as Nightingale narrowed her eyes to Star Seeker who simply locked eyes with her and spoke up for one last time.
" I...I still will forgive you." Star wept as Nightingale softly gazed down in silence the lantern dropping atop the mare as it shattered into pieces a large blaze flashing in front of her a horrible screaming echoing around her.
Nightingale suddenly jumped out of her bed unable to breathe gasping for air as her hooves clung tightly to her chest eyes gazing about frantically as she felt her body tremble itself.
Rolling out of bed she slowly crawled over to her writing desk her chest tightening more and more as a fire within burned her insides to its very core. Wincing she barely could force out a weak scream as it barely reached down the hall.
But it was enough soon the door exploded open as Wildfire with a sleepy gaze stared in shock her comrade was on the floor shaking in place as if having a seizure her mane frazzled out and eyes unfocused.
" Gale! speak to me! " Wildfire snapped as she kneeled at her side wrapping hooves around her lifting her up slightly trying to get her to settle down.
" Di...Diary...I...sorry." Nightingale started to shake in place as Wildfire used all her strength to hold her down watching as her eyes slowly rolled into the back of her head breathing becoming shallow.
" No! Stay with me Gale! GALE! " Wildfire screamed aloud as the wind outside howled wickedly showing no pity at all.
Rayne Storm slowly trotted into the doorway blinking confused watching Wildfire hold her comrade close to her chest before Lazura pushed her out-of-the-way stepping into the room.
Eyes gazing to Nightingale in a cold unloving manner before looking towards her desk seeing a blood crimson red Diary atop the small wooden surface.
Unknown to all The Diary held the secret she held the most dear.
The Key to Her Heart.
