Chapter 1: Worse Than Expected

Dear Princess Celestia

I was really worried since that strange thunder storm. I want to make sure that everything was alright. I don't know why but a particular thought is bothering me so much. "Was that an indication of anything even horrible?" Will we need to use the power of the elements again? I can only hope that everything turns out fine in the end.

Your sincere friend

Twilight Sparkle

After reading the letter Celestia placed it beside her and then focused on the book she was reading a while ago. It was named "The Equestrian Legend and Prophecies". She knew that this book held some answers she was looking for. She went through the pages until she saw something familiar.

"… That monster came from beyond the unknown with the sole purpose of the destruction of everything in sight. Every one who saw him that this creature was never meant to be. As he rambled through the land he killed every living being in sight and turned towns, villages, and cities to nothing but ruins, before when finally he was sealed away by a clan of powerful mages who harvested the power of harmony and banished him to the deepest darkest pit of the Tartarus. It's said that after the reunion of two sisters takes place his return won't be long behind. Once again he'll be to fulfill his aims and finish what he had started…"

"It is him." Celestia frowned as she looked towards an ugly lizard-like face vaguely drawn by ink. "I can't forget the disgusting face of it." There was no doubt that, vague drawing of creature's head was similar to what Celestia had seen in that cloud. She read further in hope to find a way to prevent the upcoming disaster or to defeat that creature. Soon she found something she was looking for.

"… The creature can't be stop by anypony or anything except the power of…"

As Celestia read further she noticed that many of the words were smudged, which was reasonable because that book was written who knows how long ago and some of text on it wasn't as clear as the rest. But there was one thing she was really sure in this situation that some time soon she had to face another threat to their beautiful homeland and as she knew it, this threat wasn't any threat ever known to pony kind, at least not in last several millennia, and she had to do anything g within her power to prevent this. She closed the book and got up from her place. Then she went towards her chambers to write a reply for Twilight's letter. It should be better if I don't rush the matters and take every step very carefully. She sighed with a determined expression. Then when she reached in her chamber all of sudden:

"O chrónos sas érchetai sto télos!"

Its voice echoed in her head. That creature was talking in a very ancient language known only to a few ponies. But at that time Celestia was the only one who could understand this strange language. It meant 'Your time has come to an end.' She gritted her teeth in frustration as she grabbed her head.

"I'll not let you free; I'll make sure of that." She said aloud

Max was sitting in Luna's bedchamber along with Luna herself. Luna was looking after him and he also was really starting to get comfortable around her. She was reading a book sitting beside him while he was only sitting there looking towards the roof really curiously. Soon she noticed that he was getting somewhat bored of being silent… for that much while. So, Luna thought of a something.

"Max, do you remember… anything about you?"

"Hmm… I don't know…" he replied nervously "I… remember that when I woke someone was yelling Max… in my head."

"So… that's why you remember your name, right?" Luna asked

Max took a sigh and nodded as he looked down to his hands and feet. Luna could see that he was being really upset before his eyes began to tear up and she heard as he sobbed in low voice. "I d- don't know what's going on?" He suddenly cried.

"Don't cry," Luna said as she grabbed him into a hug "There, there little one… I am here with you." She said as she caressed his back gently and ceased sobbing and returned the hug. In a while Luna released him from the hug and looked towards his face. She looked into his hazel brown eyes with a caring smile on his face. Max finally smiled slightly.

"Forgive me, Max." she said "I shouldn't have asked this."

"It's alright Luna." Max replied "It's just…"

"If that's makes you feel any better, let me tell you about myself, as you told me about yourself." Luna said placing a hoof on her chest "Is that alright with you?"

"Umm… okay…" he replied "I guess…"

"Good," Luna said with a smile

Then she told him about herself including some of the events of her foalhood with her parents and elder sister, and about the time when they became the new rulers of their land, and how she and her sister control two celestial bodies of their world. She might just skip a few minor details she didn't want to go into… She was telling him with a glee in her tone and Max was listening with somewhat equal amount of excitement. That was much to distract him from his current amnesic condition.

"You… really does all that?" Max asked in disbelief

"Indeed." Luna replied "I'll show you… that is if you want to."

"Will you?" Max asked "Really?"

"Sure," Luna giggled "Why not?"

At this Max smiled and hugged Luna as tightly as he could. "Thank you!"

Luna smiled and returned the hug. "It's alright Max." Luna said with a giggle "It's alright."

...

Luna's horn was glowing brightly as moon was rising from horizon, while her little bipedal friend was watching this with awe. As moon was fully risen, stars began to appear to in the sky as well.

"Max," Luna smiled as her horn ceased to glow "Do you like this?"

Max just gave an amazed nod at this. "This is a wonderful view."

"I told you'll like this." Luna said

"Thank you… Luna." Max said with a yawn

Luna noticed that he was looking a little sleepy. She giggled and said "I guess, you may wanna go to sleep now."

"No…" he yawned again "I want to stay here for a little more while."

"Okay," Luna smiled as she looked towards the stars "If you want to…"

Luna was happy to have some company with her beside her sister. The bipedal creature was looking at the beautiful night sky with such an amazement. Luna looked towards the sky as she remembered some really sore memories of her past. This sky reminded her of her rage towards her sister which turned her into Nightmare Moon, a memory better forgotten. That envy, that rage, that destruction, that fight with her sister, everything, she just wanted to forget all that.

Then suddenly a yawn made by Max brought her back to reality. She looked towards the Max now, leaning against her barrel, half asleep. She smiled to see this and nudged him softly. "You should go to bed now." She said "Okay?"

"Sorry," he said sheepishly "I just…" he made another yawn.

"It's alright." Luna replied with a giggle "I know you're sleepy."

She came along him to his bedroom and tucked him in his bed. "Good night Max." She said

"Good, night." Max replied and closed his eyes drifting to a deep slumber.

"So, did you found anything about that storm sister?" Luna asked

"Yes," Celestia replied as she held her head with her hoof "Ungf!"

"Are you alright sister?!" Luna asked with worry

"I'll be… fine!" Celestia said "But… I'm afraid this is worse than we expected."
