200 years ago
" Father, what is that?" The young stallion asked. He was about 18. Night darkness black coat with a matching mane and tail. He was a unicorn with golden yellow eyes. His cutie mark was a crescent moon on fire.
His father, a black unicorn with a blue mane and tail looked at him, three stars was his cutie mark. In his blue aura floating was a brown old book." Moon, this is our power. This is how we are going to rule. I have studied this book ever since your mother died, and now I want you to study it." He said then passed it to his son.
His son took it in his own magical aura, a beautiful snow white one.
He looked at the book floating before him. On the cover it said one word. Darkness.
" This is dark magic! We can't be messing with this stuff!" He said then dropped the book on the floor.
" Moon, I know it's hard to accept. But please trust me. When your mother died you had to trust me to take care of you. When you were scared at nights you had to trust me to always be there. I was always there. I just want you to trust me now." His father said.
" I- I can't." He told his dad.
" It's ok Moon... Just learn and we'll overcome problems together. I promise." His father told him.
Moon picked up the book again and went to his room. He didn't know what to think of his dad now. He trusted and loved his father more than anything, but since mother died things had changed.
Months went by as Moon began to learn of the dark magic and practice it. He was almost done the book and knew more than fifty ways to defend himself.
It was corrupting him though. He argued with other ponies more, and he was having more ideas like his father about ruling. His father had the plans of taking over Celestia's throne and claiming Equestria as their own. Moon was ready to join him in this endevour until one night.
The two of them were outside of Canterlot. It was night, they were planning to break into Celestia's castle and kill her.
" This is what we have been waiting for Moon my son. I've waited for the day I can make you Prince of Equestria." He said to his son as they walked. The streets were empty and quiet.
" I have also been looking forward to this." Moon said. He stopped. Standing before them was the castle.
" Shall we?" Father asked.
" I think not." A male voice said. Moon and his father both turned around to see a unicorn royal guard standing behind them. Suddenly other guards appeared through teleportation around them.
Moon looked up and saw pegasus guards all in the air. He didn't say anything but he felt like all the plans were going to fail, and he might lose another parent.
" My name is Sensibility." The first unicorn that appeared said. His armor was gleaming in the moonlight as he smiled with smug. " I can sense magic, and I felt two very powerful dark magic users approaching this area. We're here to stop you from bringing harm on the castle or princess."
Moon looked at his father. His father nodded.
Moon watched as his father ran towards Sensibility full speed. Father's horn was building up a magic burst.
" BOYS, OUR SERVICE IS TO KEEP THE CASTLE SAFE. TO BATTLE! FOR PRINCESS AND COUNTRY!" Sensibility yelled then charged Father.
Father's eyes were glowing blue as his magic burst got bigger. All of a sudden he unleashed the magic burst. The shot went raging towards Sensibilty and his men. The guards who were in the front were obliterated. The ones at the back were shot all through Canterlot. Smashing into walls, into buildings and in the streets.
Father sneered at his work.
A spear landed in front of him. The pegasi up ahead were throwing spears at him. He lit his horn and made a magical shield all around himself.
Moon looked up at them. They didn't notice him and kept trying to get Father with the spears. He looked on the ground and saw some pebbles layying there. He picked them up in his white aura. He fired them towards the pegasi.
When the pebbles got close enough each one made a mini explosion. The explosions knocked most of the ponies out the sky. They came crashing down to the ground. Moon fired simple beams at the ones that were still managing to fly.
Father let go of his shield and walked towards Moon with a smile.
" Good job son." He said. Moon was still looking up even though there were no more guards.
" AAAARGGGGHHHHHH!" Father yelled. Moon shockingly looked at the spear that was sticking out of Father's left leg. He spun around and saw a few earth pony guards running out of the gate. One of them managed to hit Father.
Moon in anger lit his horn. His eyes began to glow brightly in the night. Five feet away from him the ground began to crack. The crack went in a straight line and kept moving rapidly towards the guards. The ground beneath the guards hooves shuffled and suddenly shot up in certain parts. Three pillars raised three guards almost thirty feet up into the sky. The rest of the rising ground created a wall preventing the guards from coming forward.
Moon stopped. His eyes stopped glowing as he turned to his father. Father was laying on the ground, he had removed the spear himself. Moon tried to help him up but he couldn't satnd.
Moon spun around and shot a magical fireball through the air towards the castle.
The fireball was deflected by a golden aura. Moon's eyes went big as he saw who the aura belonged to. Princess Celestia herself. She was flying towards them.
" Moon?" Father asked.
Moon turned around and knelt by him.
" I can't believe the decision I made in teaching you dark magic. It destroys a pony. Promise me something." Father said.
Moon nodded.
" Promise me you'll never use your dark magic again, promise me you'll never change like I did." Father said.
Moon had tears running down his face. " I...I promise Father."
" Good." Father said. He lit up his horn and all of a sudden a black book appeared beside Moon.
" I made a promise to your mother to keep you safe, and sometimes I have to make the hard decision." Father said. His aura all of a sudden wrapped around Moon.
" Father!? What are you doing?!" Moon yelled. Father took one last look at his son. Both of their eyes were full of tears, but Father had more. He closed his eyes as he concentrated.
Moon became like a smoke, unrecognizeable, and shot straight towards the black book. The smoke went into the book and disappeared. White letters appeared on the cover.
M. F.
Father rolled onto his side. " I'm sorry Moonfire."
Father had a glint of hope about his son as Princess Celestia landed a few feet away from him. And began to walk towards him...
