(Pov Twilight)
I woke up facing the dark, cloudy sky. AJ, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity were huddled over me. "Come on, Twi! We gotta get outta here!" Applejack yelled over the loud rumbles of thunder. Lightning flashed in the sky behind her. AJ reached her hoof out for me to grab. I looked around, seeing war breaking out in the middle of the Crystal Empire. I noticed Princess Cadence and a dark grey stallion fighting at the top of the castle. A white stallion with a blue mane came galloping toward me and the others. It was my brother, Shining Armor. "Guys," Shining panted. "You have to go... Before you get hurt... Go! Now!" Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rarity galloped away while Rainbow and Applejack helped me up off the ground. Shining Armor quickly wrapped his arms around me and said, "Everything will be alright, Twi. Go back to Ponyville. I'll stop this madness..." And he galloped away. I watched as he teleported from the ground to the top of his castle. "NO! SHINING PLEASE!" I screamed. I didn't know what was going on, or how this even started, but AJ and RD dragged me away and boarded me on the train to Ponyville. All I really remembered is this really realistic dream about me and this evil stallion. I forgot his name, but I think it started with an "S". In fact, that dark grey stallion looked just like the stallion in my dreams!
I watched as the Crystal Empire faded away into nothing. A tear slid down my cheek, knowing that I probably wouldn't see my sister-in-law or my brother for a while now.
"Are you okay, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked. Her hoof rubbed against my back as I cried.
Pinkie Pie hugged me and she started to cry as well. "OOOHH! TWILIGHT!" She gulped. All of a sudden, a pang of pain shot through my body. "Aaaaggghh!" I screeched. I grasped at my chest, my heart was beating faster and faster. "Twilight!" Everypony screamed.
I could already see it. Shining Armor murdered by that sta- King Sombra! That was his name! King Sombra! I was married to him in my dream! Shining Armor's head was piked on the wall! "Twilight, dear. Whatever is the matter?" Rarity asked me. I stared at everypony and said, "My dream..."
