Dawn: Hellooooo everypony! I have returned once again! And with me I've brought another wonderful chapter! Honestly, it was a lot of fun writing this chapter because having Luna as a child added a whole new perspective to this story and opened a ton of possibilities. I don't really plan on having Luna stay a child after this, but I had so much fun writing her parts that I'd be willing to bring her back if you guys want to see more of her. Before I forget, Kudos to anypony who guessed the mysterious alicorn's identity before I pretty much gave the answer in this chapter. By the end of this, if you don't know who it is, then you are going to be pretty lost here. Anyway, that's all I have to say for now, so without further ado… A word from Authora97:

Authora: Hey you guys! Sorry this had taken so long. We've been doing a lot of stuff in our lives. It hasn't stopped us before, so it won't stop us now! I'm super excited about this update for y'all!

Dawn: Well, as always, I hope you all enjoy this next exciting chapter! And if you like it make sure to slap that follow button to stay posted on the newest chapters!

"…That's the thirtieth fire this week!" I cried in shock. It had been three months since my encounter with the mysterious alicorn and magical black fires had been popping up all over Equestria ever since. I still hadn't told anypony about the stranger yet.

"I know." Celestia said calmly from the head of the table. Luna sat beside her and the captains of the guard sat in the remaining seats with Duskfire seated next to me. "And they seem to be getting more powerful and even more frequent."

"I'm not sure how much more of this me and Luna can take." Duskfire sighed in exhaustion. She and Luna seemed to be the only ponies who could put out the magical fires. "If only we knew what was causing them."

"Maybe it's some creature from the depths of the Everfree Forest?" A captain suggested. Celestia appeared to consider it.

"It must be, Sister." Luna murmured quietly, since she hadn't slept in weeks. "Nothing else could be causing such chaos and able to hide from us so easily."

"Heh, heh." I chuckled nervously. "Unless it isn't from the Everfree." Everypony turned to look at me.

"What do you mean, Sis?" Duskfire asked with and quizzical look on her face. "What else could it possibly be?"

"Umm… I th-think it c-c-could be an alic-corn…" I stammered nervously. Celestia and Luna simultaneously turned their heads to look at each other before everypony burst out laughing.

"Where in Equestria did you ever get that idea?" Duskfire asked once everypony had mostly settled down.

"Uhh… I s-saw one…" I swallowed hard. "About th-three months ago, he just appeared out after I had put out a huge kitchen fire." Everypony just sat their looking like they were about to explode. "I'm serious!"

"She's not lying." Celestia declared. "She believes she actually saw one. Do you remember what he looked like?"

"Actually, I do." I straightened up, feeling more confident. Then I described exactly what I had seen. After I finished, Celestia and Luna just looked at each other, their eyes wide in shock.

"Could it be…" Luna whispered before trailing off.

"It appears so, Sister." Celestia agreed before standing and addressing the rest of us. "This meeting is dismissed. Dawnfrost, you wait, the rest of you can go. We will meet to discuss more later." As the others trotted out of the room Celestia and Luna came and sat down beside me.

"What do you need?" I asked politely.

"I'm sure you have plenty of questions for us." Celestia nodded to me.

"Okay then." I started. "Who is he?"

"I'm sure you already know the answer." Celestia smiled knowingly. "You just don't realize it yet."

"Huh." I sighed in frustration. "Fine, then how do you know him?"

"He and I were very close. We would spend the long hours of the night together." Luna said quietly, looking depressed. "We used to share stories and watch the sky every night."

"It sounds like you two had a lot of fun." I said softly.

"We did." She replied in a whisper.

"Then why did he leave?" I asked calmly. Luna mumbled so quietly, that I couldn't hear what she said. "What was that?"

"He…" She began in a whisper. "He…" Then her voice broke as tears spilled down her cheeks. "He didn't have a choice! It was the only way to keep everypony safe!" Seeing her sister crying, Celestia wrapped a wing around Luna and held her close.

"I don't understand." I felt puzzled. "What happened to endanger everypony?"

"…Evil happened." Luna whispered softly before her horn flashed with the light of a spell and she started to glow brightly. I shielded my eyes with a wing until the light had faded. I froze when I saw that Luna had changed. She had used an age spell to turn herself back into a little filly.

"What…" I trailed off. Luna then disappeared into Celestia's mane. Celestia just smiled and closed her eyes.

After a long pause a soft voice came from the white alicorn's hair. "I miss him, Tia."

"Me too." Celestia murmured softly.

"When can go back to Sieveylon?" Came Luna's soft voice.

"I don't know, Lu." Celestia responded quietly. "I don't know…"

"What is Sieveylon?" I asked, confused.

"Home…" Celestia gazed longingly out the balcony doors.

"What happened to it?" I asked.

"THE BIG MEANIE CAME!" Luna wailed from Celestia's mane.

"Who?" I felt very confused by her response.

"Tirek…" Celestia whispered, causing a sudden dread to flow through me.

"Oh…" I said in understanding. It was just then that Luna peeked out of her hiding place and saw me.

"Tia?" She whispered softly. "She's here…"

"Who?" Celestia glanced around the empty throne room. Luna slowly crept over to me before climbing onto my back and wrapping her tiny hooves around me in a hug. "Oh…"

What is she talking about? I mouthed to Celestia.

She thinks you're Queen Galaxia, because you do kind of look like her, I didn't know how, but I could swear that we had this conversation before because I remembered her saying that (I later found out that she had implanted a memory into my mind, and I can't even tell you how she managed to do that, so don't ask me).

Oh, I mouthed, Why doesn't she recognize me?

Once again, I remembered her response, She blocked all of the memories she had of her being older. You know, I can see how she might've mistaken for Mom, you look almost exactly like her. Here give me a second…

As soon as the thought finished, Celestia had cast a spell and the throne room fell away. Then I suddenly found myself chasing a young Luna. Through Celestia's eyes, I realized.

"Hee, Hee." Luna giggled happily. "You'll never catch me Tia!"

"Oh yes I am!" Celestia shouted. Then just as she was about to catch Luna, an alicorn colt about Celestia's age (In the memory) swooped in and snatched Luna before taking to the skies. Celestia took off after him.

"Astro! Get back here!" Celestia yowled.

"You have to catch me first!" He called back. Then in a burst of speed Celestia caught up and wrapped her fore hooves around the colt's wings. After they had crashed to the ground, they just lay in the grassy field laughing. Nearby, there was two alicorns that clearly had to be Queen Galaxia and her husband, King Cosmo.

And just like that, the memory was gone.

"Wow." I said in awe. "It looks like you guys had a lot of fun together."

"We did." Celestia sighed. "Then Tirek came and took it all away from us. With our parents gone we had to take control of the kingdom before we were ready, and it was that responsibility that tore us apart."

"That's terrible!" I exclaimed.

"I must say, that it wasn't as bad as sitting on that dreadfully cold star. Did you know that it was Solaria here who put me on it?" Came the deep voice of the mysterious alicorn. I shot up and whirled around to face him (Nearly throwing Luna off in the process). Celestia appeared beside me.

"I'm sorry." She explained. "I never wanted to do it, but you left me no choice."

"I don't care!" He boomed, causing Luna to whimper on my back. "All I want is to make you feel exactly how I felt all those years you had imprisoned me! And nothing is going to stop me!" With that he stamped his fore-hoof and created a ring over black fire around us. "The Dark Star will rise! AND ALL OF EQUESTRIA SHALL BURN!"

"Why must it be this way?" Celestia pleaded.

"Maybe this will answer that question." He laughed maniacally as he kicked a small heart shaped locket at Celestia. "Look familiar Solaria?"

Celestia stood in shock before whispering quietly. "The Rainbow…"

That's all for this chapter! Stay tuned for the rest of an extra special five part bonus event! This was part one of a two part arc.
