There was a shimmer of light and the smell of flowers and then before them stood the Dreamspeaker, Lady of the Moon, Atlanta. Ari sighed, she felt as though nothing more could go wrong, even though it was going to. "Arianna." Atlanta's sweet voice glittered with pride, "Thank you." "Uh.For what?" "For releasing me from that terrible thing." Atlanta shuddered. "What thing?" Ari said with worry etched in her voice. "It was horrible, there was dark and cold, very cold. You saved me by calling on me. There was a bird as well, a crow maybe?" Atlanta's voice wavered. "Moloth." Ari cringed. "But they fled I thought." Finn asked looking confused. "Yes but now I think they have all returned." Jenny said quietly. "Yes, Moloth, and your father." Atlanta nodded, "They are out there somewhere with the rest of them." She shivered, "My herd mates, gone bad." A black tear rolled down her muzzle. "Black." The Scepter mumbled from inside the folds of Ari's skirt where she had put it when Atlanta had come, "Black!" It shouted. All of a sudden the light violet of Atlanta's coat turned coal black. Her cream horn turned black. The amethyst on the base of her horn turned fiery red. Her deep violet eyes flashed with red hatred. Lori screamed. "Chase!" Ari cried. The black unicorn reared. Jenny and Tierza jumped in front of Ari, Finn, and Lori as a shield. The Shadow unicorn whinnied a challenge. Chase came galloping around the corner along with all the Royals, Puzzler, Beecher, Sunburst, Flier, Starlight, Dawn, Harmony, and Roseheart. Chase ran with his horn pointed at the heart of the Shadow unicorn. "Moloth!" He cried. "Sunchaser!" Moloth answered. Moloth galloped out of the way of Chase's deadly horn. "We have returned stronger then ever!" Moloth cried and galloped away with amazing speed. "Don't follow!" Ari commanded of the Royals. They pawed the ground anxiously. "There may be a trap of many others of the Shadow Herd."
